MiD DAY's weekend sports guide

No tension for India, but...

MS Dhoni's men defeated New Zealand convincingly in Colombo yesterday. Today, the Indians take on Sri Lanka in an inconsequential tie (since India have already reached the final). However, a win for India will help them retain their No 1 ODI status.u00a0

Another chance for England

Although England are down 0-3 in the seven-match ODI series, a win on Saturday will give them some hope to win the series. The hosts will go all-out against the Australians, who they beat to clinch the Ashes recently.

English Premier League: Saturday

Manchester United expect to welcome back England defender Rio Ferdinand when they return to their defence of the Premier League title at Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. Ferdinand has yet to play in the league for his club this season because of a troublesome thigh injury while playing for his country in an early season friendly against Holland. The injury ruled Ferdinand out of a triumphant week for Fabio Capello's team in which they qualified for the World Cup in Wednesday's impressive victory over Croatia.
