Starc’s firepower and century opening stand help Delhi Capitals stay alive

5 min readUpdated: May 18, 2026 12:33 AM IST SYNOPSIS: DC wrap up a tumultuous home season with a five-wicket win that has disturbed RR’s playoff bid A performance combining stability and execution finally arrived for the Delhi Capitals after a wretched run of five home defeats. The bowling plans were flexible in the face of an early Rajasthan Royals onslaught after opting to bowl first. Axar Patel’s men showed enough depth to orchestrate a collapse that set a manageable 194-run chase, culminating in a five-wicket win at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday. At long last An entire season frittered in front of the home crowd before DC found their most feasible opening combination. The right-handed pairing of Pathum Nissanka and KL Rahul didn’t provide the desired results on a consistent basis and also deprived them of proven middle-order disruptors. Taking over from the Sri Lankan, for the second time in two outings, left-handed Abishek Porel complemented Rahul without compromising on aggression.

Trump claimed Iran was ‘decimated’; US intel reveals Tehran still holds major firepower | World News

Published by Parlour News

Keeping a front of slow victory and progress, the Trump administration had told the public about the destruction of the Iranian military. But behind the doors, the American intelligence admits a drastically different reality that suggests that Iran remains a strong military force, despite several weeks of sustained American and Israeli attacks, as reported by the The New York Times. US President Donald Trump and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth have kept their stance clear on the messaging, maintaining that Iran was on the brink of losing the war. The US president told CBS News on March 9 that Iran’s missiles were reduced to “a scatter” and that the country had “nothing left in a military sense.” This was followed by Hegseth’s public declaration of the stop of Operation Epic Fury, saying that the operation had “decimated” the Iranian military and “rendered it combat- ineffective for years to come”. What does the classified intelligence reveal? Less than a month after the US Defence Secretary’s announcement, classified intelligence assessments said that the supposed “war-torn” Iran has regained …

Zimbabwe’s fairytale faces West Indies firepower in Mumbai

Zimbabwe’s fairytale faces West Indies firepower in Mumbai

Published by Webster

“How many of you picked Zimbabwe to be a semi-finalist? Only one. So maybe we haven’t done enough yet. That motivates us. We’ll give it our best shot.” Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza is not a satisfied man. Zimbabwe’s qualification for the Super 8 stage of the T20 World Cup has become one of the defining stories of the tournament, yet their journey in the competition seems to be only starting. Few predicted they would progress from their group, and even fewer imagined they would top it. Yet Zimbabwe arrive in Mumbai carrying momentum and belief as they prepare to face the West Indies at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday. Their route to the Super 8s was shaped by how effectively they adapted to conditions in Sri Lanka. The pitches were often slow, demanding patience and game awareness rather than aggression. Zimbabwe responded by pacing their innings smartly, building solid foundations before accelerating. The larger boundaries also meant bowlers stayed in the contest for longer periods.

Plenty happened at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai even before a ball was bowled on Friday in the Women’s Premier League Eliminator. Minutes before the toss, Gujarat Giants’ star allrounder Deandra Dottin – who has bowled the pressure overs with the ball and had been playing impactful cameos with the bat – was ruled out due to a knee injury. At the toss, GG captain Gujarat Giants called it right but then had to make the tricky call. Throughout the tournament, teams have opted to bowl first but the matches in Mumbai so far saw teams winning after batting first. She went with the overall trend.
