INDIANAPOLIS -- Diana Taurasi scored 20 points, DeWanna Bonner had 11 of her 18 points in the fourth quarter and the Phoenix Mercury beat the Indiana Fever 89-78 on Wednesday night in a single-elimination game of the WNBA playoffs.Tamika Catchings, who played in her final game, and the entire Indiana team knelt with their arms intertwined during the national anthem. Two members of the Mercury, Kelsey Bone and Mistie Bass, also took a knee.This game of basketball is important for a lot of reasons. One of them is bringing people together. Even uniting people, Catchings said about the impromptu kneeling during the national anthem. Well, we thought it was important to have a voice about something greater than basketball.WNBA President Lisa Borders, who was in Atlanta for the playoff game between the Dream and Seattle backed the players choice to kneel.I support our players expressing their views on important social issues, Borders said in a statement. Standing for an anthem is a sign of respect and a demonstration of unity across many cultures throughout the world. The call to action is for all of us to invest time and resources to help rebuild and strengthen our communities. And we have been actively working with the players on this next impactful effort.Briann January made a reverse layup with 2:39 remaining to pull Indiana to 77-72 and she drew an offensive foul on Taurasi on the other end. Erlana Larkins had a putback on Indianas next possession to cap a 10-1 run to make it 77-74.But Phoenix answered with a 6-1 run -- on free throws by Taurasi, Penny Taylor and Bonner -- for an 83-75 lead.Brittney Griner added 18 points, nine rebounds and three blocks for Phoenix, which will play at New York on Saturday. Bonner was just 2 of 5 from the floor in the first half.When I got in the second half, I told myself I was going to be aggressive, Bonner said. Because I felt like I was a little tentative and a little scared in the first half.Catchings and Marissa Coleman each scored 13 points as all five starters for Indiana scored in double figures. Shenise Johnson made two free throws to tie Tiffany Mitchells franchise record with 42 consecutive made free throws.Catchings left the floor at the final buzzer to a standing ovation from the crowd and she hugged every Indiana teammate, including a long embrace with January.

Though they lost the three-match series 2-1 to England, neither of their defeats were one-sided: they were in a position of dominance in the first game, requiring 45 from the last nine overs with six wickets in hand, and posted a challenging 277 in the third, before falling short in both matches. The defeats brought to an end Bangladeshs glorious run in bilateral ODI series at home - they won six in a row, including victories against Pakistan, India and South Africa, and in the process equalled the record for most bilateral home series wins in a row: India had six between December 2009 and November 2011.In the last 18 months especially, Bangladeshs ODI stats have stood out because they have notched up wins against some of the top ODI teams, and have been extremely competitive even in defeat. Their overall win-loss ratio of two wins per defeat against the top nine ODI teams during this period is better than that of any other side. England and South Africa are the only other teams with ratios of more than 1.50, while the other three big Asian teams - India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka - all have ratios of less than 0.6.What has stood out for Bangladesh through this run has been their batting - they have averaged more than 39 runs per wicket and 5.72 runs per over; in the couple of years before that they averaged 29.31 runs per wicket, and 5.18 per over. With the ball, they averaged 31.52 runs per wicket at an economy rate of 5.24, which suggests the improvement in batting has been far more dramatic than the incremental improvement in bowling. In the last 18 months, four Bangladesh batsmen have scored 250-plus runs at averages of more than 40 against the top teams, with three of them averaging more than 50. Tamim Iqbal, who had averaged less than 28 against the top teams till the 2015 World Cup, has averaged 53.20 since then, while Soumya Sarkar, Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib-Al-Hasan have all been far more prolific since the 2015 World Cup than they werre earlier in their careers.dddddddddddd The difference in bowling numbers isnt as stark, but the big difference has been the emergence of Mustafizur Rahman. He has been outstanding against the top teams too, taking 18 wickets in just six games at 12.61, while Mashrafe Mortaza has found form too despite his injuries. While all of those numbers have gladdened the hearts of Bangladeshs supporters, the team needs to prove they can come up with similarly impressive numbers in Tests as well. They have won seven out of 93 so far, but five of those have come against Zimbabwe, and two against a second-string West Indies. On the other hand they have lost 71, including all 12 Tests against Australia and England, and nine of ten against Pakistan.Most teams have struggled in their early years in Test cricket, but for Bangladesh so far, the results have been poorer than for all other teams. Their win-loss ratio of 0.1 is the worst among all teams after 93 Tests, while the 71 Tests they have lost is 15 more than the next highest - Zimbabwe, with 56 - at the same stage of their Test journey. New Zealand had won fewer Tests, but they had managed 42 draws to Bangladeshs 16. In their 93 Tests, Bangladesh have averaged 24.22 with the bat, and 49.25 with the ball. The difference of 25.03 is easily the worst among all teams; no other side has a negative difference of more than 14. Bangladesh are the only team with a bowling average that is more than twice the batting one - clear evidence of how much they have struggled with Test cricket so far. Over the next three months, Bangladesh have five Tests coming up - two at home against England, and then two in New Zealand and one in India. By the end of the Test against India, Bangladesh would be just two away from 100 Tests. When they get there, they would want their Test graph to be going in the direction that their ODI fortunes have been going recently. ' ' '
