NWSL games Saturday - Time, how to watch Bay FC, San Diego Wave and more
The North Carolina Courage (5W-3D-5L) sit outside the playoff places on goal difference, a disappointing outcome for a team that this winter added U.S. women's national team attacker Jaedyn Shaw to an already potent group. They will host the San Diego Wave (7W-3D-3L), who are out to demonstrate that an impressive start to the season under new coach Jonas Eidevall wasn't just a flash in the pan.
After those two sides face off, Bay FC (4W-3L-6D) will welcome the Houston Dash (3W-2D-8L) in a battle between teams who need to kick into gear if they're going to qualify for the postseason. The Dash picked up just one point from their final five matches heading into the break, and moved striker Diana Ordóñez to Liga MX Femenil power Tigres during that span.
Bay FC, meanwhile, made a big summer addition in the form of U.S. youth national team star Onyeka Gamero. Fans may have to wait a few weeks to see the 19-year-old play as she returns from a long-term knee injury, but she joins a team that has plenty of potential to climb the standings.

NWSL Announces Trinity Rodman News Before Spirit-Thorns Game
NWSL Announces Trinity Rodman News Before Spirit-Thorns Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Trinity Rodman hasn't played a match for the Washington Spirit since April due to a back injury. On Saturday, however, a new update on her condition emerged. Rodman, who has suited up in just four matches this 2025 and only returned to team training in early July, appears slated to get back on the field after three months of recovery. NWSL Confirms Trinity Rodman's Injury Status On Saturday, ahead of the Spirit's showdown with the Portland Thorns on Sunday, the NWSL announced that Rodman is "available" for the game. "Washington Spirit forward Trinity Rodman available for game day roster," the NWSL wrote along with a photo of the 23-year-old in action. While it's unknown if Rodman will start and whether or not the Spirit will be cautious with her playing time and workload, fans can expect the five-year NWSL veteran to be as aggressive as she used to be — only this time smarter, especially after her back issue. "I'm still gonna be Trin," Rodman said while speaking to reporters on Tuesday, per ESPN. "But, I think the way that I would throw my body around [before], maybe not. Maybe just being smarter about certain tackles, certain runs, certain 50-50s. "I'm still gonna be intense, and I'm still gonna give it 100% all the time, but I think there's parts of my game where I need to save energy or adjust to certain tackles, and I think I've been doing a pretty good job with that so far coming back in training." Rodman's Injury and Importance to Spirit The last time Rodman played for the Spirit was against Racing Louisville FC, but she wasn't able to finish the contest and left at halftime. At the time, the match came just over a week since Rodman returned to international duty for the USWNT following months of absence due to her back injury. After that, Rodman took some time away from the team to manage her injury with doctors and trainers. The former Washington State star recently admitted that her back problem kept her "in pain all the time," per Now that Rodman is back and healthy again, the Spirit become a more lethal team. Currently sitting at No. 5 in the NWSL standings with a 7-2-4 win-loss-draw record, Washington has a real opportunity to string together more wins and climb up the rankings. Rodman is one of the Spirit's best scorers and playmakers, as proven by her numbers over the years: 2021: 6 goals (2nd on team); 5 assists (1st on team) 2022: 4 goals (2nd on team); 2 assists (tied for 2nd on team) 2023: 5 goals (tied for 2nd on team); 2 assists (tied for 2nd on team) 2024: 8 goals (tied for 1st on team); 6 assists (2nd on team) Of course it might take some time for Rodman to get back to game condition after more than three months out. However, there's no denying that her return is a huge boost to the story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Aug 3, 2025, where it first appeared.

West Indies vs. Pakistan 1st ODI predicted XIs, team news The hosts named a 15-member squad for this ODI series, keeping the upcoming ODI World Cup preparations in mind. Shai Hope will lead the side with some key figures returning for this series as well. Evin Lewis, who missed both T20I series against Australia and Pakistan, is yet to recover from his injury. He has been included in the squad for the ODI series against Pakistan this time. Teenage wicketkeeper batter Jewel Andrew, who made his ODI debut last year against Sri Lanka, has retained his spot. Brandon King, who was ruled out from the T20I series against Pakistan after sustaining side strains during the final T20I against Australia, has returned for the ODI leg. Romario Shepherd has also returned to the ODI squad after a year, after his last appearance in the Bangladesh series.

The ODI side will be led by their regular skipper, Mohammed Rizwan, and Salman Agha as the deputy. The star batter Babar Azam will return for the ODI leg after missing out on the T20I series.

The right-arm speedster Haris Rauf has been given a rest in the ODI series; Hasan Ali will continue to join the lead pacer duo Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah in the bowling unit.
