2 min readFeb 9, 2026 06:46 PM IST After Nepal almost brought down mighty England cricket team in their T20 World Cup opener on Sunday, legendary South African pacer Dale Steyn offered his services to the team via a Twitter post. “Nepal, I offer my services to you if you ever need em! Up, up and UP!” Steyn tweeted. The offer from the retired Steyn to coach/mentor the Nepal team came after the Asian side fell short by just four runs in the game against England’s total of 184. At one point, Nepal would have felt that the game was in the bag: needing 46 runs from the final three overs, they smashed and slashed their way to needing just 10 runs from the final over. “That’s a big thing for us. A legend who ruled cricket for 10 years is tweeting about us,” Nepal pacer Nandan Yadav told reporters in Mumbai after the match, about Steyn’s offer. “But it’s up to the management team, so we cannot approach him directly. Maybe we could, I …

Published by Webster

Kylian Mbappe became the first Paris Saint-Germain player to score five times in one match as the Ligue 1 giants crushed sixth-tier amateur minnows Pays de Cassel 7-0 in the French Cup on Monday. Mbappe, who scored a hat-trick in France’s defeat by Argentina in the World Cup final just over a month ago, netted a hat-trick in the first half here as PSG led 4-0 at the break against their regional league opponents. He struck twice more after the restart, with Neymar and Carlos Soler scoring PSG’s other goals in the last-32 tie. The Qatar-owned club, who have won the French Cup 14 times, more than any other team, will now play away to bitter rivals Marseille in the last 16 early next month. That match is scheduled for the week beginning February 6, just a week before PSG host Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie. “Once we scored the first goal it became harder for our opponents,” PSG boss Christophe Galtier told reporters. “The opponents we’ll face …
