Cape Town Blitz extended their unbeaten run in the Mzansi Super League with a ruthless 62-run win over Jozi Stars in Johannesburg. Janneman Malan and Quinton de Kock set up Blitz’s 198 for 5 with a 99-run opening stand that immediately put the hosts on the back foot. The visiting pace attack then shut down the chase with repeated strikes that kept the home side’s batting in check. Anrich Nortje, Dale Steyn and Andile Phehlukwayo shared seven wickets and Stars were bowled out in just 17.4 overs.Dane Vilas put Blitz in after winning the toss, and though their innings started and ended tamely, there were runs aplenty in between. Just three runs came from the first over, and only four from the last, but the fourth umpire had to make two trips to the middle to deliver replacement balls as first de Kock, and then Malan, smashed shots out of the stadium, and 70 runs flowed in the Powerplay to kick-start the innings.De Kock raced to a 24-ball fifty in the sixth over with two sixes and a four off successive Kagiso Rabada deliveries. Malan played an efficient second fiddle and turned the strike over as his partner went on the charge. De Kock collected his fifth six with a slog sweep off Eddie Leie but then fell attempting a sixth, skying Duanne Olivier to Rassie van der Dussen at long on.Malan and Farhaan Behardien added a further 67 for the second wicket in quick time, with Malan bringing up his second fifty of the tournament in the 16th over as Blitz set a solid platform. Malan struck two more sixes off Rabada, but Stars’ pace attack struck back with Olivier and Beuran Hendricks combining to take three wickets in three balls.The dismissals meant that Blitz couldn’t quite top 200, but their total proved more than enough as Steyn and Nortje blew the Stars top order away. Nortje beat Reeza Hendricks for pace with his fifth delivery, and Steyn then struck in consecutive overs as Stars slipped to 32 for 3.Vilas and Pite van Biljon had just started to repair the innings when Phehlukwayo rattled van Biljon’s stumps, and with the required-rate escalating every ball, the pressure was heaped upon Stars’ lower order. Nortje returned to remove Vilas, and went on to end Rabada’s cameo with a top edge easily caught by Kyle Verreynne in the deep.Left-arm spinner George Linde completed a clinical display by the Blitz, trapping Dan Christian lbw and then luring Hendricks and Leie out of the crease for consecutive stumpings that brought the match to a swift end. With four wins in four games, Cape Town Blitz have solidified their position at the top of the table, and on current form they are early frontrunners for the inaugural MSL title.
Celtic have made contact and several enquiries to discuss a deal to sign an overseas forward in January, according to a fresh report this week.
Celtic transfer targets
According to Football Insider, Brendan Rodgers is looking to secure three new signings during the upcoming window, and whilst he’s keen to strengthen his outfield ranks, the priority position is to recruit a goalkeeper between the sticks who could go on to become a long-term number one.
The Daily Record have reported that Real Madrid’s Andriy Lunin is one of the options under serious consideration, but with regards to roles higher up the pitch, the name of a potential attacking candidate has emerged in the Scottish Premiership.
Celtic considering move to bring 6 ft 3 penalty saving expert to Parkhead
The Hoops are looking to bolster their options between the sticks during the upcoming transfer window.
ByChloe Chadwick Nov 28, 2023
Estoril’s left-winger Tiago Araujo only put pen to paper at his club last summer from Benfica, where he’s made a total of 46 appearances to date (Transfermarkt – Araujo statistics), and his impressive form has caught the eye at Parkhead.
Portugal’s former youth international still has two years remaining on his deal (Estoril contracts), but that hasn’t stopped the hierarchy from taking a bite at the cherry to see if they can reach an agreement for the services of the 22-year-old ahead of January.
Celtic keen on deal for Tiago Araujo
According to The Telegraph, Celtic are exploring a deal for Araujo, and with the opportunity to sign him for a bargain price up for grabs, this is a deal that they want to get over the line in the new year.
"Celtic are trying to seal a deal for Portuguese winger Tiago Araujo for the start of the January transfer window. Araujo, 22, has been playing for Estoril in the Primeira Liga this season as a left-back and left-sided midfielder, alerting the Scottish champions with his performances after moving from Benfica 18 months ago.
"He has been the subject of enquiries from Celtic, who are looking at a deal worth around £4million to land the former Portugal Under-21 international."

Araujo's "flamboyant" style would delight Parkhead
Despite operating as a left-back more times than any other position since the start of his career, Araujo is also capable of playing in the midfield and higher up on the left and right flanks as a winger, so his versatility would make him a great option to have at Celtic.
Sponsored by Adidas, the left-footed ace has posted 23 contributions (12 assists and 11 goals) in 122 appearances following his arrival on the professional scene, and he possesses a constant desire to create as many chances as possible in the final third.

Rodgers’ target has recorded 46 crosses over the course of the current campaign which is more than any of his fellow teammates (FBRef – Estoril statistics), highlighting what a standout performer he is when it comes to whipping balls into the opposition’s area.
As described by football talent scout Jacek Kulig, Araujo is a “flamboyant” player for his varied skillset up and down the left side of the pitch, so there’s no doubt that he could be an exciting signing for the manager should he put pen to paper in January.

Their fast bowlers, Basil Thampi and Sandeep Warrier, cut through Gujarat’s batting line-up, bowling them out for a mere 81

Sixty-eight years after they first took part in India’s most prestigious domestic first-class competition (then as Travancore-Cochin), Kerala qualified for the Ranji Trophy semi-final for the first time, building on from their maiden quarter-final appearance in 2017-18.Victory was achieved in a little under three hours on the third day in Wayanad as they beat 2016-17 champions Gujarat, who folded for just 81 in their second innings to lose by 113 runs. It took Kerala just 31.3 overs to pick up the 10 wickets they needed, with fast bowler Basil Thampi returning a five-wicket haul to take his match tally to 8 for 88.Sandeep Warrier, the other premier Kerala fast bowler, also finished with eight in the match by taking four second-innings wickets. The one other wicket came courtesy a direct hit from Sachin Baby, the captain, to run out his opposite number Parthiv Patel for a duck.Only two Gujarat batsmen crossed double digits in their chase of 195, as the team slid to four-down inside the first half hour. Debutant Rahul Shah, at No. 3, remained unbeaten on 33 and built a 39-run stand with Dhruv Raval. The latter’s dismissal for 17, however, kicked off another collapse, as they lost their last six wickets for 24 runs.

Leeds United continued their fantastic run of form in the Championship as they beat Blackburn Rovers 2-0 at Ewood Park on Saturday.
Goals from Dan James and Crysencio Summerville secured all three points for the Whites in Lancashire but it did nothing to close the gap on the top two.
Ipswich Town and Leicester continue to run away with the automatic promotion places as they sit on 48 and 49 points respectively, with a combined 31 wins from 40 matches.

Daniel Farke's side, meanwhile, have won six of their last seven league games and sit seven points behind the Tractor Boys with 41 points in third place.
The Whites must continue to bring in the results and hope that the current top two slip up at some point and provide them with a chance to move up into the promotion places.
Bolstering the playing squad in January could give Leeds a boost and help them push for an automatic spot in the second half of the season.
Leeds transfer news – Sam Curtis
One player who has been linked with a potential move to Elland Road at the start of next year is impressive teenage full-back Sam Curtis.
90min reported last month that the Whites are one of a number of clubs eyeing up the 18-year-old defender ahead of the January transfer window.
The outlet claimed that Premier League giants Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, and Manchester City all want to sign him next month.
It added that Leeds, Middlesbrough, and Hull City are three Championship sides interested in Curtis, whilst reigning Scottish Premiership champions Celtic have also had an eye on the Irish prospect.
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke.
He currently plays for St Patrick's Athletic in his home country and his club are said to expect him to move on before they return to league action in February.
This suggests that a January transfer is on the cards for the right-back and this means that Leeds will need to move swiftly if they want to beat off the competition for his signature.
However, the report does not reveal how much it would cost to secure a deal for his services and that could play a telling role if it is out of the club's budget.
If they can afford him, though, Leeds could have an edge over the Premier League giants as they could offer the allure of regular first-team football, which the likes of City and Liverpool may not be able to offer with Kyle Walker and Trent Alexander-Arnold standing in his way.
Farke could unearth his next version of Max Aarons, who he uncovered at Norwich City, by winning the race for Curtis' signature ahead of the second half of the 2023/24 campaign.
Max Aarons' Championship form for Farke
The German tactician placed his full faith in the talented right-back during their time together at Carrow Road as he handed the academy prospect a full first-team league debut at the age of 18.
Farke chucked Aarons in at the deep end in an East Anglian derby against Ipswich at the start of the 2018/19 campaign and the full-back went on to play a crucial role in the club's promotion to the Premier League.
The Canaries youngster went on to start 41 Championship matches in his first season at senior level and contributed with two goals and six assists.
Daniel Farke and Max Aarons at Norwich.
He caught the eye with 2.7 tackles and interceptions per game to go along with a duel success rate of 58%, which shows that the impressive youngster made an impression at both ends of the pitch.
Norwich found themselves back in the Championship again for the 2020/21 campaign and Aarons, once again, produced fantastic performances.
The former England U21 international started 45 of their 46 league matches and made his presence felt with two goals and two assists from right-back. He also ranked within the top 4% of his positional peers at that level for progressive carries (3.27) per 90.
Aarons was rewarded for his stunning form with a place in the PFA Team of the Year for both the 2018/19 and the 2020/21 season respectively. He was also named the EFL Young Player of the Season at the end of his first campaign for Norwich.
These statistics and achievements show that Farke unearthed a gem in Norfolk and the German boss could do something similar with Curtis at Leeds.
The statistics that show why Leeds should sign Curtis
The talented prospect, who journalist Seán O'Connor dubbed a "rising star", has already played a full season of senior football despite the fact his 18th birthday was earlier this month.
Teammate Tom Grivosti hailed the 18-year-old whiz as "unbelievable" and claimed that he is "mature" beyond his years, which is a ringing endorsement for such a young player.
Curtis assisted three goals in 18 Premier Division appearances during his first foray into senior football during the 2022 campaign for St. Patrick's.
The Republic of Ireland U21 international followed that up with three goals and three assists in 34 outings in the Irish top-flight this year.
Alongside his attacking contributions, the teenage sensation caught the eye with his impressive defensive work. He made 3.4 tackles and interceptions and 5.2 ball recoveries across those 34 matches, to go along with a duel success rate of 63%.
For a point of reference, Archie Gray, who has been utilised out of position at right-back this season, has averaged 2.8 tackles and interceptions and won 54% of his battles across 19 Championship appearances.
The Thorp Arch youngster has, however, only contributed with one assist as he is yet to register the first senior goal of his promising career.
Gray has been a solid performer at right-back but the signing of Curtis would provide Farke with a natural player in that position and a potential upgrade given his defensive and offensive contributions in the Premier Division this year.
Leeds could, therefore, land the German his next version of Aarons as a fantastic 18-year-old right-back who could develop over time, whilst it would also allow Gray to play in his natural position in midfield.
