Canada loses to Oman in World League 2 cricket match cut short by bad weather
Oman's victory was decided by the Duckworth Lewis Stern (DLS) method, the formula used to calculate the winning side when inclement weather intervenes.
Canada won the toss and elected to bat first at Central Broward Park & Broward County Stadium.
Captain/opener Navneet Dhaliwal led the way with 73 runs, in a 120-ball knock that included five fours and one six, as Canada was all out for 212 in 48.4 overs. No. 5 batsman Mansab Gill added 59 runs.
Canada went down swinging, losing its last three wickets for just one run.
Oman was 108 for three when play was halted in the 24th over due to poor weather. Hammad Mirza was top scorer with 31 runs with Jatinder Snigh adding 27 and Mujibur Ali 23 not out.
Oman won by 15 runs when the two teams met Monday. That followed a 169-run Canada loss to the United States last Saturday.
The World League 2 features eight teams — also including Namibia, Nepal, the Netherlands, Scotland and the United Arab Emirates — with each side playing 36 one-day internationals spread across nine triangular series through December 2026.
The top four teams move on to a 10-country World Cup Qualifier that will send the last four teams to the 2027 World Cup.
The Netherlands (12-6-0 with two no-results, 26 points) top the standings ahead of the U.S. (12-6-0, 24 points), Oman (11-6-0 with two no-results, 24 points) and Scotland (9-5-0 with two no-results, 20 points).
Canada (9-8-0 with two no-results, 20 points) is fifth.
Canada is ranked 18th in the world in the ICC ODI (one-day international) rankings, compared to No. 15 for the U.S. and No. 16 for Oman.
The bottom four teams can also progress to the qualifier but will have to get there via the Cricket World Cup Qualifier Playoff which includes the top four teams from the Cricket World Cup Challenge League.
The Canadians, who won promotion to World League 2 from the Cricket World Cup Qualifier Playoff, face the U.S. on Sunday.

Tessier to lead Canada at women's Rugby World Cup in England
LANGFORD – Alexandra Tessier will captain Canada's second-ranked squad when the 2025 Rugby World Cup kicks off in England. Rugby Canada announced Thursday its 32-player roster for the elite women's rugby tournament. Tessier, a nominee for World Rugby Player of the Year in 2024, is set to earn her 59th cap for Canada. She has scored six tries and 53 points over her 10-year international career that includes World Cup appearances in 2017 and 2021 (played in 2022). Twenty-one players from the 2021 Rugby World Cup team have been named to head coach Kevin Rouet's squad, including veterans Tyson Beukeboom, Olivia DeMerchant and Karen Paquin. All three will represent Canada at the Rugby World Cup for a fourth time. Sophie de Goede, a member of the World Rugby Women's Dream Team in 2022 and 2024, was named to her second World Cup squad. She came off the bench in a 33-5 win over South Africa earlier this month after a 13-month injury absence. Canada is in Pool B with Fiji, Wales and Scotland. It opens its tournament Aug. 23 against Fiji in York. The Canadians finished fourth at the 2021 World Cup in New Zealand. Their best finish was runner-up to England at the 2014 event in France.

Five Canadian medal contenders to watch at world swimming championships
Canada is sending a powerhouse swimming squad to the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore, with several top medal contenders hitting the pool when competition begins Saturday. Here are five Canadian medal contenders to watch at the worlds: Summer McIntosh The 18-year-old set three world records and five Canadian records while qualifying in five events at the Canadian swim trials. The Toronto native became the first swimmer to break three different individual long-course world records in one meet since American Michael Phelps at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Despite that, McIntosh believes she can be even faster at the world championships. She's coming off a four-medal showing (three gold, one silver) at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, where she became the first Canadian athlete to win three gold medals at a single Olympic Games. Josh Liendo Liendo, 22, won silver in the men's 100-metre butterfly in his Olympic debut in Paris last year. Now, the Toronto native looks to add to his world championship medal haul, which stands at four. He earned three medals at the 2022 worlds (one silver, two bronze) and another silver in 2023 in the 100 butterfly. Ilya Kharun The 20-year-old Montreal native was on the very same podium as Liendo, taking bronze in the 100 butterfly in Paris. But he also earned bronze in the 200 butterfly in his Olympic debut. At swim trials in Victoria, Kharun also got the better of Liendo in the 100 by 0.9 seconds. Kharun has seven short-course world championship medals (one gold, four silver, two bronze) but will be in search of his first world championship medal in Singapore. Kylie Masse The Lasalle, Ont., product has been a staple on Canada's successful women's program over the years, both individually and in relay events. Masse, 29, has amassed five Olympic medals (two silver, three bronze) and nine world championship medals (three gold, one silver, five bronze) over her career. Masse, who specializes in the backstroke, said she's put 'a little more focus' into the 50-metre event after winning at nationals. Finlay Knox Knox is slated to defend his world title after cruising to victory in the 200 individual medley at Canadian swim trials in one minute 57.25 seconds. The 24-year-old from Okotoks, Alta., outdid his time at the Paris Games by one-hundredth of a second at the trials, while leaving room to show even more at worlds with his 2024 world-title winning time being 1:56.64 and his national record of 1:56.07.
