Finn Allen-Tim Seifert take down UAE in violent onslaught, serving stark warning to New Zealand’s upcoming opponents

Finn Allen-Tim Seifert take down UAE in violent onslaught, serving stark warning to New Zealand’s upcoming opponents

As dusk set in at Chepauk, the sky spreading its palette of colours, Finn Allen decided to show his true colours. He biffed Junaid Siddique, a medium pacer born in Multan, over the sight-screen. A wide and dot ball later, he jumped to the off-side, balanced himself on one knee and scooped Siddiqui for a six over fine leg. A brace of fours off the last two balls took the returns from the over to 22 runs, and put New Zealand on a frantic path to surmount the competent, but not daunting, target of 174. In the city of Carnatic music, a heavy metal concert was in full swing. Eventually, they consumed just 15.2 overs without losing a wicket to emerge victors in a relentless carnage of boundaries, bolstering their net run rate in the group of death, which they have almost negotiated safely. But sinisterly for other teams, New Zealand are steadily peaking in a tournament they have bafflingly underperformed in, fixing one flaw after another. It’s classic New Zealand; they are seldom pre-tournament …

Sophie Turner opens up about playing Sansa Stark again for Game of Thrones sequel: ‘Show me the money…’

As the world of Westeros continues to expand with prequels like House of the Dragon and the upcoming Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, fans have long wondered if we will ever see the return of the surviving Stark children. Now, Sophie Turner is finally weighing in on the possibility of stepping back into the furs of Sansa Stark. Sophie Turner The last time viewers saw Sansa, she was being crowned Queen in the North, having successfully secured independence for her kingdom while her brother, Bran, took the throne of the remaining six. While that felt like a definitive conclusion, recent comments from franchise creator George R.R. Martin have reignited hope for a sequel. Martin recently confirmed that of the five or six spin-offs in development, there are some sequels in the mix. Sansa says: “Send me the money…” During an interview with The Direct, Sophie was asked directly about her interest in a sequel project. Her initial reaction was lighthearted. She said, “Show me the money (laughs). I don’t know, I think it would be …

New study reveals stark gender gaps in India’s public transport workforce

New study reveals stark gender gaps in India’s public transport workforce

A nationwide study has raised serious concerns about the lack of gender inclusivity in India’s public bus systems, both in terms of women’s workforce participation and the everyday challenges faced by women commuters. The report, Gender Inclusivity in India’s Public Transport, was released in November by ITDP India and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH under the Indo-German development project Sustainable Urban Mobility – Air Quality, Climate Action, Accessibility (SUM-ACA), commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). Women make up only 0.16 per cent of bus drivers Using data from the Association of State Road Transport Undertakings (ASRTU), the report shows that women account for just 0.16 per cent of driver positions and 15 per cent of conductor roles across the country. Women staff reported multiple barriers, inadequate toilets and resting spaces in depots, workplace harassment, and long shifts with significant health risks. To understand workplace realities, ITDP India conducted Focus Group Discussions in Pune, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Delhi, involving 74 women staff from State Transport Undertakings (STUs). Women …

Royal Staff Reveal Stark Contrast Between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle Behind Palace Walls

Royal Staff Reveal Stark Contrast Between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle Behind Palace Walls

Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle might not have as much in common as people might think, despite their ostensibly similar post-marital status. Both the princesses have become a part of the British Royal family, marrying Prince William and Prince Harry, respectively. Notwithstanding their joint middle-class roots and status as outsiders within the aristocratic domain of the Palace, Middleton and Meghan have reportedly lived the royal life in ways with stark differences, according to palace staff, as per the Daily Mail. Royal expert Tom Quinn has reportedly recorded the testimonials of former Royal staff members in his latest book, Yes, Ma’am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants. Though both women wed royalty without the usual upper-crust lineage, sources close to the palace claim that their differing temperaments determined their different royal trajectories. According to the outlet, one of Kate’s former staffers put it starkly: “Kate is Meghan without the messianic complex.” Staff accounts described Meghan tackling the palace life with minimal deference, determined to bring modernization to the monarchy. One staff member said, “Meghan thought she …

US Expert’s Stark Warning As Trump Tariffs Rattle Global Markets

US Expert’s Stark Warning As Trump Tariffs Rattle Global Markets

Washington: Sounding alarm bells after US President Donald Trump’s Liberation Day global tariff plans crushed global stocks for two consecutive days, CNBC host Jim Cramer predicted global markets could  witness a blood bath that could expand into a crash similar to 1987’s “Black Monday.” The American market commentator’s warnings followed a brutal two-day sell-off on April 3-4, 2025, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) plummeted 2,231 points amid fears that US import tariffs could exacerbate inflation and stall economic growth. Cramer said no matter what the numbers reveal, the direction of the market will depend on President Trump’s next move.  “If President Trump stays intransigent and does nothing to ameliorate the damage that I saw these last few days, I’m not going to be constructive here,” The TV personality said.  “If the president doesn’t try to reach out and reward these countries and companies that play by the rules, then the 1987 scenario… the one where we went down three days and then down 22 per cent on Monday, has the most cogency,” he …

Babar Azam’s sluggish strike-rates pit him in stark contrast to creative Virat Kohli

Babar Azam’s sluggish strike-rates pit him in stark contrast to creative Virat Kohli

On Friday as Babar Azam made his entry into the ICC Academy here, he did so with a grim face, appearing a bit lost. Not even young kids chanting his name would brighten the mood nor the sight of some familiar faces at the academy whom he just greeted with a customary handshake. Back home, since the defeat against New Zealand in the Champions Trophy opener, there is no player in this Pakistan team who is under as much pressure as Babar whose 90-ball 64 in the chase of 321 had made him a national villain of sorts. Be it sports shows or prime time news or YouTube channels, Babar’s strike-rate and intent still remain the hot topic of debate. Over the next couple of days, as an all-important showdown with India awaits on Sunday, which is now a must-win fixture for Pakistan to stay alive in the tournament, more eyes will undoubtedly be on Babar. For a team that is missing Saim Ayub and lost Fakhar Zaman to injury in the opener, Babar was …
