MI vs GT: Will Gujarat Titans win the match if rain stops play in Wankhede, Mumbai?
By News Desk Published on May 6, 2025, 21:59 IST
As rain continues to loom over Wankhede Stadium, the fate of the IPL 2025 clash between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Gujarat Titans (GT) may ultimately rest in the hands of the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method.
Currently, Gujarat Titans are at 34/1, and if play is halted after five overs, they will be declared winners under the DLS rule. This makes every passing minute and ball crucial, with the rain threat intensifying.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a Nowcast warning for Mumbai, Palghar, and Thane, placing these regions under an Orange alert until 1 a.m.. According to the IMD: Moderate rain is expected at a rate of 5-15 mm/hour
Thunderstorm activity may include surface winds between 41-61 km/h
With the rain steadily intensifying and the match delicately poised, all eyes are now on the weather and the DLS calculator to determine the outcome of this potentially rain-curtailed encounter.

Early Test: Redblacks without QB Dru Brown as Alouettes visit TD Place
OTTAWA - The Ottawa Redblacks are facing a tough test just two weeks into the CFL season. Ottawa (0-1-0) will be without starting quarterback Dru Brown for its home opener against the Montreal Alouettes (1-0-0) Friday night. Brown suffered a hip injury late in last Thursday's season-opener against the Saskatchewan Roughriders. The team is hopeful Brown will be ready to return to action next week. In the meantime, Matt Shiltz will make his first start for the Redblacks against the Alouettes, who opened their season with a 28-10 win over the visiting Toronto Argonauts. The Redblacks signed Shiltz over the winter to shore up under centre. He'll work with backups Dustin Crum and Tyrie Adams on Friday night. '(Shiltz) has great experience,' head coach Bob Dyce said. 'Any time you have someone who's played in this game, started important key games, that's invaluable. And, you know, he's got a great command of the huddle.' Shiltz, who spent the first five seasons of his career in Montreal, will have some familiarity with the opponent, but doesn't see it as factor. 'You think about it a little bit, but honestly it'' the next game on the schedule and it's your opportunity,' said Shiltz. 'Being away from Montreal for, I think it's three seasons, it's there but it's not something that I'm really focusing on.' The 32-year-old Shiltz has been taking first-team reps all week in preparation for Friday and believes if he can do his job the receivers will take care of the rest. 'They've all had that success, and you've just got to put (the ball) in the vicinity, and you can trust that they're going to make some plays,' Shiltz said. 'So, it's all on you.' One of those receivers he'll be looking to connect with is Eugene Lewis, who will make his home debut after signing with Ottawa in the off-season. The two were teammates in Montreal and Lewis is looking forward to reigniting the connection. 'He's probably one of the only quarterbacks that I've had multiple touchdowns in one game with,' said Lewis. 'So, I know Shiltz, I know what he's capable of.' Shiltz may feel a little bit of pressure to get Lewis the ball. A touchdown Friday night would mark Lewis's 10th consecutive game with a TD, tying Terry Evanshen for the longest streak in league history. Lewis says going after the streak is a bit of a balancing act. 'Obviously, as an individual, as a person, as somebody, with what I'm doing in my career, yes, I really want this,' Lewis said. 'I know God has this plan for me, and it'll be hard to get here again.' Lewis says the main focus has to be winning the game, but he believes that if everyone does what their supposed to then he stands a good chance of a record reception. The Redblacks will also be without starting safety Alonzo Addae. The 27-year-old suffered a season-ending elbow/tricep injury against the Roughriders. It's an unfortunate turn of events for the Pickering, Ont., native whose season was cut short last year by a knee injury. Canadian Charlie Ringland will step in for Addae. The Redblacks will also need to be much more disciplined after taking 13 penalties that cost them 126 yards in their opening game. —- ALOUETTES (1-0-0) AT REDBLACKS (0-1-0) Friday, TD Place Stadium END THE STREAK: Montreal holds an eight-game winning streak over the Redblacks and have won 10 straight games at TD Place dating back to August 2018 RECORD MATCHING: Alexandre Gagné of the Alouettes had a great start to 2025 when he recorded a CFL-record-tying seven special teams tackles. He now has 111 for his career to rank tied for 34 all-time. His seven tackles set a new Alouettes record. HARDY HURRIES: Hardy tied for the most receiving yards last week with 133 on eight catches. He's riding a streak of five straight 100-yard games. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 12, 2025.

Auburn football is in a two-team race for four-star QB Landon Duckworth
Auburn football is in a two-team race for four-star QB Landon Duckworth In a surprising move, Duckworth is focusing on Auburn and South Carolina ahead of his June 26 commitment date. The future of the Auburn quarterback position could be good hands. On Wednesday night, Hayes Fawcett of On3 reported that 2026 four-star quarterback Landon Duckworth has cut down his list down to two schools, Auburn and South Carolina. Duckworth had upcoming visits to both Florida State and Ole Miss, but, in a surprising move, has canceled both according to the report. Duckworth is currently ranked the No. 6 quarterback for the 2026 class by 247Sports. They also have Duckworth rated the No. 50 overall player and No. 3 in Alabama. Duckworth led the Jackson Aggies to a 14-1 record and a 4A AHSAA State Championship in 2024. They ended the season with a dominating 69-6 victory over Cherokee County to claim the championship. For the season, Duckworth threw for 3,439 yards and 39 touchdowns with a completion percentage of 67%. He also stresses the defense with his running ability. Duckworth rushed for 648 yards and 12 touchdowns. Duckworth is not the only prospect from Jackson that the Tigers are looking to add in 2026. Running back Ezavier Crowell has listed Auburn as one of his top teams. The four-star running back is scheduled to announce his decision on June 26. Auburn is going into this season with Jackson Arnold as the top quarterback. Behind him will be incoming freshman Deuce Knight who impressed during the spring. If the Tigers are able to add Duckworth, the quarterback room will hold more talent than the program has seen in its history. The Auburn 2026 recruiting class is currently ranked 39th with eight commitments.

After running long distances and sprints, Lockport's Nolan Lamoureux rolls to state title in 800. ‘A big jumble.'
A stress fracture in grade school has been a blessing in disguise for Lockport's Nolan Lamoureux. The Lewis-bound senior track star enjoyed cross country and distance running as a youngster, but as he approached the high school stage of his life, that aspect started to take a toll on him. Lamoureux suffered that stress fracture in seventh grade, but that's not all. 'COVID hit right after,' he said. 'It was just a big jumble.' When all was said and done, Lamoureux ended up loving the sprints. He spent three years concentrating on those events for the Porters, finishing third in the state as a junior in the 400. Veteran Lockport coach Tom Razo sat down with Lamoureux before this spring, and they came up with the idea of Lamoureux running races in the middle distances, in particular the 800. That plan worked out pretty well. So well, in fact, that Lamoureux went out and won the Class 3A state championship in that event at Eastern Illinois' O'Brien Field in Charleston. 'He came into our school as a sprinter and I knew him as a distance runner,' Razo said of Lamoureux. 'He made his mark as a freshman sprinter, but I thought he would be at a whole different level if he moves up. 'It took us a while to talk him into it. His junior year, he dabbled in it. This year, after the indoor season was over, he said 'OK, I think the best shot for me winning a title is moving up.''' Lamoureux won the state title in a time of 1:51.92, edging out Yorkville's Owen Horeni at 1:52.22. Then, in the 1,600 relay, Lamoureux joined Fope Omisore, Xavier Adeniyi and Michael Nicholson to finish second for the Porters with a 3:18.01, losing out to Evanston's 3:17.73. Still, Lamoureux became Lockport's first state champion since John Meyer won the shot put in 2018 and the first runner for the Porters to take gold since 2008 when Kyle Engnell won the 1,600. Homewood-Flossmoor's 400 relay of Joaquin Jordan, Charles Dees, Myles Ellis and Zion Morrison won the Class 3A state title with a 41.00. In Class 2A, Southland Prep's Amauree Williams became the first boys track athlete in program history to win a state championship, prevailing in the 300 hurdles with a 37.77. Lamoureux's win, however, wasn't easy. It was a come-from-behind victory. 'No one challenged him all year long,' Razo said of Lamoureux. 'He controlled all of the races he was in. The young man from Yorkville took off at 400 meters, gapped him and gapped him good. 'I was kind of worried there for a second. I'm thinking 'OK, you've got to respond to this.' Prior to the race, we talked about going out at a certain pace, which he did. During the last 200 meters, I wanted him to kick like a mad fiend and he did. With 50 meters left, he took control.' Razo may have been a little worried, but Lamoureux was unfazed. 'Throughout the race, I knew that he was a fast mile guy,' Lamoureux said of Horeni. 'But I knew I had a stronger kick. I let him get out a little bit ahead of me, but it's all about tactical racing. 'I was staying not too far behind, and I was at a good point where I was still in the race. I knew that as long as I kicked, I would still have the race.' In grade school, Lamoureux started running because when he played basketball he was faster than everyone else. Track, though, is something that he has grown to love. 'It's a sport where I can challenge myself,' he said. 'And it keeps me motivated.'
