Three sporting events to watch this week: Your handy guide to sport on television

Cricket World Cup

It’s been a long 2023 World Cup, with only 10 nations participating there has been 45 matches played since the start of October. There are now just three left, with the semi-finals taking place on Wednesday and Thursday. The final, between India and Australia, on Sunday, is at the largest cricket stadium in the world – the 132,000-seater Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. – Wednesday-Sunday, Sky Sports

Euro Under-21 Qualifier

With the woes of the men’s senior international team at the moment, there is at least a glimmer of hope for the future from some of the underage sides. That includes the Republic of Ireland Under-21 squad who are currently top of Group A in the qualifying campaign for the 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. So far, Ireland have beaten Turkey (h), San Marino (h) and Latvia (a), but the next two games will be crucial if they are to be the first Republic of Ireland squad to qualify for an under-21 Euro Finals. This Friday, Ireland play Norway in Drammen, before hosting Italy the following Tuesday in Cork. – Friday, RTÉ

Women’s FAI Cup

Both teams have had big wins along the road to the 2023 final, with Athlone Town knocking out league champions Peamount United at the quarter-final stage, and defending cup champions Shelbourne beating Shamrock Rovers 2-0 at the semi-final stage. – Sunday, RTÉ
