Dubai Jan 24 (Ians) Medium pacer Naveen-ul-Haq’s deadly spell of 5 for 38 wrecked table-toppers Gulf Giants’ batting to help Sharjah Warriors record a stunning 21 runs victory in Match 14 of the Dp World ILT20 at the Dubai International Stadium on Monday night.

Naveen-ul-Haq was backed by Chris Woakes (2-11) and Junaid Siddiqui (2-18) as they bowled with clinical accuracy and bundle out Gulf Giants for 130 in 19.4 overs

Sharjah had posted only a modest total of 151/7 in 20 overs. They came into this match defeating Dubai Capitals and thus recorded their second win while Gulf Giants’ four-match winning streak came to an end.

It was surprising that despite the heavy rains till one hour before the start, the match could commence on time. It was mainly due to Dubai International Stadium’s superb drainage system. The result of the match was even more surprising. For Sharjah Warriors Joe Denly top scored with 58 runs off...

Lbc radio host James O’Brien has condemned Mark Spencer following a comment the Conservative MP made about China.

Former chief whip Spencer, who serves as the MP for Sherwood, was discussing the reports that Liz Truss had been targeted by Russian spies on Sky News, claiming that she had “clearly” been hacked while she was foreign secretary.

When it was put to him that Truss’s personal phone could have been at the centre of the breach, Spencer said that “some little man in China” could be listening into his own private conversations.

“We all talk on personal phones, don’t we?” he said. “I ring my wife, maybe there’s some little man in China listening to the conversations between me and my wife.”

The remark has been widely criticised by figures including Labour politicians and others.

O’Brien, who hosts a daily talk show on Lbc, delivered a damning assessment on Twitter.

‘Har Har Mahadev’ director Abhijeet Deshpande talks about his latest film that is based on the relationship between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and his relationship with his commander Baji Prabhu Deshpande who finally gave his life while helping his king during the Battle of Pavankhind.

Abhijeet says: “This film is about the relationship between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and his warrior friend Baji Prabhu Deshpande. The whole point of this film is to show the human side of war and the human side of a warrior.”

In 1659, after the death of the Bijapur general Afzal Khan, Shivaji took Panhala from Bijapur, however in 1960, Afzal Khan II of Bijapur sent his army but Shivaji even after five months of war was not successful in taking the fort back and thus decided to escape. Baji Prabhu gave his life in saving Shivaji from being captured.

“Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is always known to be a...

Geelong (Australia), Oct 18 (Ians) Sri Lanka put on an exhibition of fast bowling under lights to crush United Arab Emirates by 79 runs in a Group A match of Icc Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 and give themselves a massive Nrr boost at the Simonds Stadium, here on Tuesday.

After their defeat against Namibia, Sri Lanka bounced back in style and the margin of victory takes their Nrr (+0.60) past Netherlands'(+0.15).

This was followed by a 50-run stand between Dhananjaya de Silva and Nissanka. The all-rounder was the aggressor between the two, smashing a 21-ball 33 consisting of three fours and...
