Ten wickets for 28 runs. A stoppage-time equaliser at Goodison. A north London derby settled by two players reading each other’s minds. The cricket and football results from the past seven days had everything.

It was one of those weeks where the numbers tell the story better than any pundit can. A record low total in Dubai. A three-minute goal burst at Portman Road. Three goals in the last eight minutes on Merseyside.

So let’s go through it properly. Below you’ll find every major cricket and football result from 31 August to 7 September 2026, the players who decided them, and what it all means going forward.

Whether you follow the Women’s T20 Asia Cup, the Premier League, or both, this round-up of the week’s cricket and football results has you covered.

Cricket and Football Results: The Week at a Glance

Two competitions dominated the headlines. In cricket, the DP World Women’s T20 Asia Cup reached its business end in Dubai. In football, the Premier League served up its third matchweek of the 2026-27 season.

Here are the headline scores:

• India Women beat Pakistan Women by 7 wickets — Dubai, 5 September
• Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea — Emirates Stadium, 6 September
• Ipswich Town 0-2 Liverpool — Portman Road, 4 September
• Everton 2-2 Manchester United — Goodison Park, 6 September
• Fulham 2-3 Crystal Palace — Craven Cottage, 5 September
• Manchester City 1-0 Coventry City — Etihad Stadium, 5 September
• Newcastle United 2-2 Bournemouth — St James’ Park, 5 September

Now let’s dig into the games that mattered most.

India Bowl Pakistan Out for 55 in Dubai

This was the standout cricket story of the week. Pakistan won the toss at the Dubai International Stadium and chose to bat. Sixty-eight balls of India’s reply later, the match was over.

Pakistan started calmly enough. Muneeba Ali and Shawaal Zulfiqar put on 27 for the first wicket. Muneeba made 13, Zulfiqar 14. Nothing suggested what was coming.

Then Shafali Verma bowled Muneeba, and the innings fell apart. Pakistan lost their last ten wickets for just 28 runs. They were dismissed for 55 in 18.1 overs.

That is the lowest total in Pakistan’s women’s T20I history. It beat their previous low of 63, also against India, set back at the 2012 Women’s Twenty20 Asia Cup.

Charani and Rawat Run the Show

India’s spinners did the damage, and they did it ruthlessly. Shree Charani finished with 3 for 7 from her four overs. Prema Rawat matched her with 3 for 9.

Charani struck twice in the sixth over alone. She removed Gull Feroza for a duck, then had Zulfiqar, leaving Pakistan 29 for 3. Deepti Sharma then chipped in with 2 for 5.

Here’s the tactical point worth noting. Dubai’s surface has gripped noticeably this tournament, and India picked their attack accordingly. Charani, currently the top-ranked T20I bowler in the world, bowled a fuller length than usual and let the pitch do the rest.

A Brief Wobble, Then a Canter

Chasing 56, India did not have it entirely their own way. Fatima Sana bowled superbly for Pakistan, taking 3 for 17 and dismissing Smriti Mandhana along the way.

However, the target was simply too small. Harmanpreet Kaur finished unbeaten on 18 and guided India home at 57 for 3 in 8.4 overs.

The win put India top of Group A on six points from three matches, with a semi-final place already secured. Pakistan, meanwhile, sit on two points and must beat Hong Kong to stay alive.

Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea: Ødegaard and Havertz Take Over

Sunday’s headline fixture delivered. Chelsea could not have started better, with Morgan Rogers finishing inside two minutes at the Emirates.

Arsenal did not panic. Kai Havertz levelled in the 25th minute, and the German grew into the game from there.

The winner came five minutes after the break. Christos Tzolis drove in from the left and slid a pass towards Havertz. Havertz lifted his leg over the ball — a dummy Chelsea’s defence had to respect — and Martin Ødegaard ran onto it to finish.

That single moment explains the match. Two players who have spent years reading each other’s movement created a high-quality chance out of nothing.

The result left Arsenal on nine points from three games. It also handed Xabi Alonso his first Premier League defeat as Chelsea manager.

More Cricket and Football Results: Isak’s Three-Minute Blitz

Liverpool opened the weekend at Portman Road on Friday night. They needed nine minutes to settle it.

Alexander Isak scored in the sixth minute, then again in the ninth. Ipswich never recovered from that opening burst, and Liverpool saw out a comfortable 2-0 win in front of 30,019 fans.

Meanwhile, Manchester City ground out a 1-0 home win over promoted Coventry City. Erling Haaland scored the only goal on 26 minutes in front of 60,765 at the Etihad.

It was not vintage City. But three points in a game you are expected to win is exactly how title challenges are built.

Everton 2-2 Manchester United: A Stoppage-Time Twist

Goodison Park produced the wildest finish of the round. Bryan Mbeumo put United ahead straight after half-time, and the visitors looked comfortable.

Then everything happened at once. Everton’s George pulled one back on 83 minutes. Benjamin Šeško restored United’s lead on 88. Finally, Ainsley Maitland-Niles equalised in the sixth minute of stoppage time.

Three goals arrived in the final eight minutes. As a result, both sides walked away feeling they had dropped two points rather than won one.

Cricket and Football Results: The Rest of Matchweek Three

Crystal Palace produced the weekend’s best away performance, winning 2-3 at Fulham. Tyrick Mitchell scored twice, on 35 and 54 minutes, before Ben Chilwell settled it on 77. Josh King and Palacios had put Fulham ahead twice.

Newcastle United shared four goals with Bournemouth at St James’ Park. Marcus Tavernier struck early for the visitors, and Malick Thiaw’s own goal made it 2-0. Harvey Barnes and Jacob Ramsey hauled the hosts level, with Ramsey’s equaliser landing on 88 minutes.

Elsewhere, three matches finished level. Brentford drew 1-1 with Sunderland, Vitaly Janelt cancelled out late by Enzo Le Fée’s 82nd-minute penalty. Brighton and Leeds also drew 1-1, Igor Vušković replying to Jayden Bogle’s opener.

Finally, two goalless draws: Nottingham Forest 0-0 Tottenham and Hull City 0-0 Aston Villa. Promoted Hull will take real confidence from a clean sheet against Villa.

SportzSage: How the Model Read the Week

Weeks like this one show exactly why guesswork fails. Nobody “felt” that Pakistan would post 55. The signals, however, were there for anyone tracking the right data.

That is the honest lesson buried inside this week’s cricket and football results. Upsets look random from the outside. Up close, most of them are the product of conditions, form and matchups that were visible days in advance.

SportzSage combines a mathematical algorithm with expert human analysis, and the app reports an accuracy rate above 80% across the matches it covers. The approach is straightforward. The model weighs recent form, head-to-head history, venue conditions, squad availability and matchup-specific data — then experts sanity-check the output.

Take the Dubai surface. Spin has dominated this tournament, and India fielded the deepest spin attack in the competition. That is a measurable edge, not a hunch.

Or take the Emirates. Arsenal’s home record and Chelsea’s early-season adjustment under a new manager were both in the data long before kick-off.

Most importantly, the app strips out the work. You do not need to spend three hours reading team news to form a view. SportzSage covers cricket and football — the IPL, international cricket across all formats, and the Premier League — in two dedicated apps.

What’s Coming Next Week

The cricket builds to a climax first. The Women’s T20 Asia Cup semi-finals take place on 10 and 11 September in Dubai, with the final on 13 September. India will start as favourites, but knockout cricket rarely respects seeding.

Football returns on Friday 12 September. The pick of the fixtures is unmistakable: Manchester United host Manchester City at Old Trafford on Sunday 13 September. Sunderland also welcome Arsenal on the Saturday evening.

Then, on 15 September, Sri Lanka begin their white-ball tour of England with three ODIs and three T20Is. In addition, Leeds United face Newcastle on Monday night to close out the round.

In short, the next seven days of cricket and football results look every bit as good as the last seven. Two knockout cricket matches, a Manchester derby and a new international series is a serious week of sport.

Get Ahead of the Game

If this week taught us anything, it is that sport punishes assumptions. Records fall. Managers lose their first game. Ninety-sixth-minute equalisers happen.

Preparation is the only real edge. That is true whether you are tracking cricket and football results for fun or forming a serious view on the next fixture.
