With the 2016 World Twenty20 underway in India, we look back at some more highlights from previous tournaments... In Part One, we took you back to some incredible moments from the 2007 tournament, including Zimbabwes victory over Australia, and looked back at some of the standout moments from 2009.In part two, we rewind the clock to the 2010 and 2012 editions, starting with a phenomenal win for New Zealand... Just the startThe third edition of the World Twenty20 in 2010 began with a last-over thriller between New Zealand and Sri Lanka in Guyana. Mahela Jayawardenes 51-ball 81 led Sri Lanka to a total of 135-6. New Zealands run chase was also slow going and they still needed 41 entering the final four overs. Jacob Oram slammed back-to-back sixes off Ajantha Mendis to keep the game interesting before getting out. New Zealand required 10 off the last six balls but Sri Lanka had saved their death overs specialist Lasith Malinga for such an eventuality. They had, however, reckoned without the resourceful batting of Nathan McCullum, who threaded a gap on the leg-side to hit a four and then launched the penultimate ball for six over long-off. Game over!Special K-apugedera Chamara Kapugedera roars after finishing off India in the grand manner Sri Lanka and India went into their final Super Eights match in 2010 needing a win to progress to the last four. Set a target of 164 in St Lucia, Sri Lanka were in early trouble at 49-3 before a middle-order rescue act that was finished off in some style by Chamara Kapugederas 16-ball 37 not out. With three still required from the final delivery, Kapugedera carved left-arm seamer Ashish Nehras offering for six to seal Sri Lankas five-wicket victory and send India home.Hussey heroics Mike Hussey leaps into Mitchell Johnsons arms after a sensational salvo Chasing a target of 192 in the 2010 semi-final against Pakistan in St Lucia, Australia were in the unpromising position of needing 34 off the final two overs with eighth-wicket pair Mike Hussey and Mitchell Johnson at the crease. Mohammad Amirs penultimate over started and finished with Hussey hitting fours on the leg-side and, in between, he and Johnson ran the fielders ragged with four twos to just about keep the match alive. Still, 18 were required from the last six balls and Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi had saved his premier spinner Saeed Ajmal for the job. Johnson edged a single to bring Hussey back onto strike and he promptly went six, six, four, six to finish the game with a ball to spare! Hussey ended up unbeaten 60 from 24 balls, including three fours and six sixes, and described the win as the best feeling of my career.The long wait is over Paul Collingwood starts Englands celebrations... England had never previously won a global limited-overs tournament, with World Cup final defeats in 1979, 1989 and 1992 the closest they had come. That all changed in Barbados in 2010 as Australia were swept aside by seven wickets in the World T20 final. Michael Clarkes men were restricted to 147-6 on an excellent batting track at the Kensington Oval and a second-wicket stand of 111 at 10-an-over between man-of-the-match Craig Kieswetter (63) and man-of-the-tournament Kevin Pietersen (47) ensured the required-rate was always under firm control. Skipper Paul Collingwood hit the winning runs to leave 18 balls unused and, finally, England could start the celebrations.Malingas revenge Lasith Malinga - devastating at the death, or in a Super Over New Zealand and hosts Sri Lanka played out another tight finish when they met in Pallekele at the 2012 tournament. With the scores level, Sri Lanka failed to get the single they needed off the final delivery when Lahiru Thirimanne was run out. New Zealand were fortunate the ball was deflected onto the non-strikers stumps when Ross Taylor fumbled James Franklins return, but they failed to take advantage in the Super Over. Sri Lanka scored 13 runs off Tim Southees extra six balls despite not hitting a boundary and that proved sufficient with Malinga this time making himself the hero by going through his full repertoire while conceding only seven.Pollard stretches high Kieron Pollard - often finds a way to silence opposition fans West Indies all-rounder Kieron Pollard has made a habit of pulling off stunning catches during his career and he was at it again during the group fixture with defending champions England in Pallekele. Englands pursuit of 180 was already in trouble when Jonny Bairstow lofted a drive back down the ground off Chris Gayles bowling. He almost got enough of it. Almost, but not quite, as Pollard sprinted around the boundary and grabbed the ball two-handed above his head as it plummeted out of the night sky - before setting off for a celebratory charge around the outfield. He made it look easy, said Nasser Hussain, but it certainly wasnt.Champagne Super Over Marlon Samuels - keeping West Indies on course for a title triumph New Zealand suffered more Super Over misery later in the 2012 tournament against eventual winners West Indies. Part-time spinner Marlon Samuels was selected to bowl the additional six deliveries for West Indies despite conceding 14 off the final over in regulation. That decision looked to have backfired as Ross Taylor - fresh from his 62 not out - slammed a four and a six among New Zealands 17 runs. But Samuels was undeterred and strapped on his pads to turn himself from villain to hero. Southee started with a no-ball that Gayle dispatched for six and, helped by the free-hit and then a wide, West Indies needed four off two deliveries. No problem for Samuels who sent a low full toss for six to midwicket and earn his side a semi-final place at New Zealands expense.Sky Sports is the only place you can watch all 35 games in 27 days of the 2016 ICC World T20.

NEW YORK -- Latvian tennis player Anastasija Sevastova wore a Yankees cap to her news conference after she reached her first major quarterfinal.She bought it in Europe, not because shes a baseball fan, but simply because she likes the interlocking NY logo. Turns out, though, that New York is proving a very special place for an athlete who was retired at this time two years ago.In her second big upset of this U.S. Open, Sevastova beat 13th-seeded Johanna Konta 6-4, 7-5 on Sunday to become the first Latvian woman to make the final eight at a Grand Slam since Larisa Savchenko in 1994.I still cannot believe it, she said. Mentally Im spent. Totally spent. But its amazing.Sevastovas previous best showing at a major was the round of 16 in the 2011 Australian Open. But after a series of injuries that drained the fun out of tennis, she retired in 2013.During her break of nearly two years, Sevastova took classes in Austria in leisure management -- studying accounting and marketing in hopes of perhaps going into sports management.When her health improved, she came out of retirement at the start of last season, never expecting shed be making a deep run at a Grand Slam so soon.Im playing better in my second career right now, she said. Im handling pressure sometimes better than before.Shes more mature, both mentally and physically, Sevastova said. And it also helped that I saw that there is life without tennis.As in her second-round upset of third-seeded Garbine Muguruza, Sevastova wobbled under the pressure at first, failing to serve out the match. But as in that victory over the French Open champ, she finally closed out the win with a service break.Sevastova broke Konta seven times in 11 service games.In the end I just stop thinking and I just try to play tennis, Sevastova said.In Kontas second-round match, the Australian Open semifinalist had collapsed to the court with trouble breathing, but she said there werent any significant lingering issues Sunday. Fatigue was a bigger factor -- shes played 18 matches since the end of Wimbledon.Sevastova, whos ranked 448th, was such an unknown coming into the U.ddddddddddddS. Open that initially her picture wasnt included in the official tournament app. She said she wasnt upset because she didnt like the old photo that would have been used. The situation has now been remedied with an updated shot.She describes herself as a C- or D-list celebrity even back home in Latvia, saying Knicks star Kristaps Porzingis is the closest thing to an A-lister there. Perhaps a Knicks cap or one for the Mets -- the baseball team that plays across the street from the U.S. Open -- might have been a more obvious choice, but Sevastova is sticking with the navy and white of the Yankees.Shell next face two-time U.S. Open runner-up Caroline Wozniacki, on a resurgent run with two wins over top-10 players here after Sundays 6-3, 6-4 victory against eighth-seeded American Madison Keys.Wozniacki, her ranking down to 74th following a series of injuries, hadnt won four matches in a row since March 2015.I know it sounds bad, but honestly, at this point Im like, I really dont care what my ranking is, she said. Because if Im not in the top five, I feel like its not where I want to be, so at that point, whether Im 20 in the world or 100 in the world, it doesnt matter because Im going to play the same people anyway.The main thing is that when Im on court I have to believe in myself. Thats what I care about, that I know that I can do it. I know I can beat anyone. I think it just sucks for some of the other players who have to play me early.Another past U.S. Open finalist, Roberta Vinci, also moved on Sunday. The seventh-seeded Italian topped 99th-ranked Lesia Tsurenko 7-6 (5), 6-2 to reach the quarterfinals at Flushing Meadows for the fourth time in five years.Shell face second-seeded Angelique Kerber, who beat two-time Wimbledon champ Petra Kvitova 6-3, 7-5. With Kerber making the quarters, Serena Williams will need to advance to the final to retain the No. 1 ranking. ' ' '
