ICC T20 World Cup: Nepal almost pull off monumental upset before England survive with a bloody nose | Cricket News

ICC T20 World Cup: Nepal almost pull off monumental upset before England survive with a bloody nose | Cricket News

Published by Webster

With 10 runs needed from six balls, Nepal stood on the precipice of cricketing immortality—a nation of mountains daring to topple giants. This was Sunday’s crescendo to a weekend that had already shattered assumptions. The Netherlands had nearly ambushed Pakistan. The United States had bloodied India. Now Nepal, cricket’s underdogs, had England by the throat. Sam Curran managed to break free of the noose, to let England breathe and live for another day. As the sun set over Mumbai on Sunday, one thing crystallised: the 2026 T20 World Cup would spare no one. Not Pakistan. Not India. And certainly not England, who escaped with their pride just about intact but their invincibility shattered. The giants had been warned. The minnows had teeth. In a thrilling chase of 185, Nepal fell agonisingly short by just four runs in a contest that swung one way then the other till the very end. With six needed off the final ball of the game, Lokesh Bam, who had given Nepal hope with some belligerent late-order hitting, could only manage …

More than Rs 3,77, 500 for a FIFA World Cup ticket: Supporters cry foul at ‘monumental betrayal’ | Football News

Published by Webster

A FIFA World Cup comes once every four years and ticket prices for next year’s edition in North America are likely to burn a hole in fans’ pockets. Tickets in the ‘supporters value’ tier for matches in the United States, Mexico and Canada next June-July are priced at $4,185 (more than Rs 3,77,500). It is a monumental increase from the price of the cheapest tickets at the last edition in Qatar in 2022 – a little over $600 (less than Rs 55,000). Fans group Football Supporters Europe (FSE) has called the pricing strategy ‘extortionate’ and called on FIFA to stop ticket sales immediately. They called it “a monumental betrayal of the tradition of the World Cup, ignoring the contribution of supporters to the spectacle it is”. In a departure from recent tournaments, group stage games are being priced based on their attractiveness, rather than at a flat rate, BBC Sport reports. Official supporters’ groups get about 4,000 tickets for each game. All other tickets are allocated through the random ballot process, other than those held …

The Taj Story movie review Director: Tushar Amrish Goel Cast: Paresh Rawal, Zakir Hussain, Amruta Khanvilkar, Namit Das, Sneha Wagh Rating: ★★ Paresh Rawal plays an Agra tour guide in The Taj Story, and at one point, he answers the question already on every viewer’s mind: why are we suddenly revisiting the Taj Mahal’s history? The Taj Story movie review: The Paresh Rawal film is directed by Tushar Amrish Goel. Why today? Why 2025? He calls it a “desh ka mudda,” something people apparently do not raise often. But instead of clarity, this only leaves us more puzzled. The plot Directed by Tushar Amrish Goel, The Taj Story found itself in controversy even before its release. Some dismissed it as propaganda, others accused it of distorting facts. The film itself, though, is far less explosive than it imagines. Its premise is promising: a tour guide’s life is turned upside down after a viral video of him questioning the Taj Mahal’s origins leads to his dismissal. Determined to fight back, he decides to challenge the official …

Afghanistan ride on Allah Ghazanfar’s 6-fer to trigger monumental Bangladesh collapse, win 1st ODI – India TV

Image Source : ACBOFFICIALS X Allah Ghazanfar missed his hat-trick but picked up three wickets in an over on the way to a magnificent six-wicket haul Bangladesh botched up a rather straightforward run-chase horribly to end up conceding the first ODI of the three-match series against Afghanistan in Sharjah on Wednesday, November 6. Bangladesh went from 120/2 to 143 all-out, losing their last eight wickets for just 23 runs to bottle what was looking like a comfortable situation they were in, chasing a modest total of 235 runs. Allah Ghazanfar was the star of the show for the Afghans, registering the second-best-ever figures for Afghanistan in ODIs, taking 6/26. The partnership had crossed 50, skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto was heading towards his half-century, Mehidy Hasan had started to get going and it looked hunky-dory for Bangladesh until it wasn’t. Bangladesh had lost an early wicket but Soumya Sarkar and Shanto had repaired the innings beautifully. However, nothing of it mattered really as Ghazanfar was in a demolition mood and some. It all began with Mohammad Nabi, …

He is the only skipper in the world to lead his team to ICC ODI World Cup win, T20 World Cup win, Champions Trophy triumph and world No. 1 ranking in tests. From 2007 to 2013, under MS Dhoni, Indian cricket team went through a golden phase. When Rohit Sharma became the Indian cricket team captain, he was expected to deliver India’s first ICC title since 2013. He delivered just that by helping India win the 2024 T20 World Cup. Now he will be expected to take the side to further glory in the coming time.  Harbhajan Singh, who has played under both, gave interesting insights on the duo’s captaincy style.    “Dhoni and Rohit are completely different leaders,” said Harbhajan Singh on the podcast “Find a Way with Taruwar Kohli.” “MS Dhoni will never go to a player and will ask him what field you want. He will let you learn from your …
