Cricket
ICC Men's T20 WC
Oh. My. Lord. After the CWC heartbreak from last year, I had no hope. I wasn't even watching the match, I couldn't deal with the disappointment in addition to the nagging feeling that I always jinx the team I support. Competitive sport is a breeding ground for superstition. I was playing a multiplayer game online with my friend, and keeping tabs on the score in the breaks between rounds. India seems to have snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.
Although there is something to be said about how India knew they were going to play the second semifinal regardless of where they finished in the table, because it was decided by scheduling reasons.
USA's reporting on the scores (USA beat Canada 197-194) was simultaneously technically correct and vomit-inducing.

SL U19 Men Tour of Eng, 1st ODI
The hosts take a massive loss here, and Sri Lanka can feel confident going into the next couple of games.
Formula 1
Canadian Grand Prix
Verstappen and Russell set identical laptimes for pole position. Russell took pole since he set his time first.
Ferrari's double DNF broke Tifosi hearts, this time not really the team's fault. Although the heartbroken Tifosi aren't always the best at seeing that, and neither are Ferrari's detractors.
Sergio Perez had a crash and drove to the pits under his own power, with his rear wing about to fall off. That was a no-no, and he was given a 3-place grid penalty for driving the car in an unsafe condition.
Spanish Grand Prix
Norris takes pole. Bottles it. Verstappen wins. Hamilton podium. Good run of form for Hamilton, Norris seems to mess up a lot.
Austrian Grand Prix
Verstappen won the Sprint, closely followed by the McLarens. In the main race, he led for a fair bit, but Norris caught up in the later stages of the race and they collided. Russell was there to pick up the pieces, and won the race.
Verstappen raced unfairly through this battle, moving late and running Norris off the track corner after corner. And in the end, Norris retired while Verstappen picked up 7 points, why wouldn't he keep driving like this? It's the best thing to do for the title battle.
Formula E
Portland E-Prix
We went into the penultimate race weekend - and the penultimate double header - of the season, with Cassidy having a chance to take the title. His closest competitors 25 and 35 points away, and there would be 58 points on offer on each of the final two race weekends of the season.
What did happen, however, was that he failed to place in the points in either race. With Wehrlein having mediocre results himself, and Evans doing reasonably well for himself, the two left the weekend 12 points behind Cassidy.
In Race 1, Cassidy moves up from 10th on the grid to lead the race in the final stages. Evans gets a farcical 5 second penalty (which may be nothing in F1 but it's a lifetime in FE) through no fault of his own but was running second near the end. There were no team orders between these two Jaguar teammates, and Evans was hassling Cassidy for the lead. Cassidy, under pressure, loses the car on the final lap and throws away not just the victory, but all his points.
In Race 2, a multi-car collision put Cassidy out of the points. Wehrlein had a moment where his front wing got lodged under his front wheels, but it ultimately came off and he was able to continue.
The final weekend will be amazing to watch, with Formula E's unofficial tagline being "anything can happen and it usually does".
