Maratha Arabians cemented the top spot with a resounding victory against the Bangla Tigers yesterday evening, with Yuvraj Singh and Najibullah Zadran being the stars for the Chris Lynn-led side. However, they may face a stiff challenge today because the Qalandars’ squad features the in-form Tom Banton. Also see - IND vs WI schedule­­­ Dawid Malan has captained the team very well in this tournament, and they have registered two back-to-back wins in the last two days....

The girl sent him a tiny stone scarab–for luck, for protection. She was barely sixteen, a budding poet; it was in her nature to believe in amulets and the mystical powers of things like scarabs. She drew a peace symbol at the end of one of her letters, but when he responded, he said her hasty artwork had bothered him, stung him, because it reminded him of all the protests back home....

On the other side of the Atlantic, they refer to this as a “nil-nil” draw. For reasons I’ve never quite been able to understand, those who follow the sport here seem compelled to do the same. Over here, though, such a result often is often called “boring”, as well, and that contention is even more of a mystery. After the group stage game between England and the USMNT in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, U....

A is for Alvito D’Cunha : The former India international won eleven titles in 14 seasons in the Red and Gold ranks as a player. His 19th-minute wonder goal several seasons ago stood out to be one of the best goals in the history of the derby. On Sunday, he will be serving as the Brand Ambassador and Technical Manager of East Bengal. B is for Bhutia : The Sikkimese Sniper, Bhaichung Bhutia has scored 19 goals in the eponymous Kolkata Derby, 13 for East Bengal while 6 in his second stint as a Mohun Bagan player....

Now it appears that John’s transition from boy to girl wasn’t so seamless. An article published last week in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine reports that, despite his feminized body and upbringing, John in fact rejected his new gender. He tore off the dresses, dreamed of becoming a mechanic and even tried to urinate standing up-despite his reworked anatomy. “I thought I was a freak or something,” he told the study’s authors....

Make no mistake, the world’s always trying to change you. Whoever you are with, a few family members, a few hundred friends, many acquaintances, some enemies, some colleagues who like you, some who don’t, those who envy you, those who look up to you, or even those who look down on you; it’s difficult to stay true. Sir Alex Fergusson however defied the odds many times. He was an extra ordinary leader of men, a perfectionist, one whose relentless pursuit of improvement made it easy for him to ignore the rest....

In the world of professional basketball, the preponderance of off-ball deliberate fouls, better known as the “Hack-A-Shaq” strategy, is something that commissioner Adam Silver and his counterparts troublesome.

It’s a non-basketball play,” he said. “It sort of goes against the spirit of the rulebook....

Ukraine has been in the front row seat of this war since restoration of its independence from Russia in 1991. Through assaults via cyber warfare on our military, banks and infrastructure; unrelenting fake news via social media that divides us a nation; blatant disregard for international law and Ukraine’s territorial integrity through the illegal taking of Crimea, the invasion of the Donbass and now the official recognition of Donetsk and Luhansk as independent states; as well as the psychological bullying from a growing military threat on our borders, this war has been constant and unrelenting....

Why? His car was airborne, flying into the catch fence at Daytona and out of control. When it was over, when the mangled hulk of his car and the thousands of other pieces came to rest, Dillon was lucky to be alive.

We talked about it at the time: There was no other way to feel. Stamkos, great as his life may be, didn’t deserve that, and people who care about hockey didn’t either. Seeing him in very obvious distress — “It’s broken,” he said — sucked. Now, we’re 365 days out, and things are going fine. It’s safe to exhale. Despite Stamkos best efforts, he missed the Olympics, and even with 10 goals already this season, it’s clear that he’s not all the way back....

Or, rather, just a hair too far. The 3-seed Wildcats forced a shot clock violation on 1-seed Stanford’s final possession of the national championship game, giving the upstart Wildcats — who had lost to the Cardinal twice previously this season — a chance to win on the final possession of the game. And there was no player whom Arizona coach Adia Barnes wanted to have the ball more than McDonald, who had a game-high 22 points, three rebounds, two assists and two steals....

At the moment, after back-to-back weekend losses to an out-of-contention Cleveland squad by a combined score of 22-4, it’s much more the latter than the former. With less than two weeks left in the regular season and the club currently on the outside looking in at the AL playoff picture, it’s fair to wonder whether Cashman will decide to make a change, either in the waning days of the season or after they’re done playing....

While Rodgers is still looking to repair certain personal relationships in his life through the use of ayahuasca, the next reconciliation that could take place is with his wide receiver room. Rodgers is notorious for demanding perfection out of his wideouts, something that’s been especially apparent this offseason. With No. 1 target Davante Adams traded to Las Vegas and a bevy of new pass catchers in the room, the learning process has not been up to standard....

Probably not unlike Tony Gonzalez, the elementary dean of students at Milwaukee College Prep, a free, K-8 public charter school.

Earlier this year, Rodgers surprised Gonzalez, who took the Packers QB to the 36th Street campus....

That said, it appears that the Packers will once again have to do that with Aaron Rodgers operating at less than 100 percent. Rodgers, 38, has been listed on the injury report with a right thumb problem since Week 6. He logged a limited practice on Wednesday, which was initially seen as a positive, but the quarterback downplayed its significance. “Well, I heard it was going to be just a jog-through, so I figured I might as well get down there and be around,” Rodgers said Wednesday, per Pro Football Talk....

Munn posted a video of her lipsyncing Carey’s emotional ballad “Hero” while Rodgers acted out the words in the background. If there is anything that could get you through a hard time, it’s Rodgers wiping fake tears off his face.

Abandoned is a survival-horror game but beyond that it has not been detailed or demonstrated otherwise. Even worse, Abandoned’s enigmatic marketing teased white lies and Blue Box released a real-time experience app for PS5 that underwhelmed fans due to a lack of content. The app had been delayed indefinitely, and the developer’s credibility seems shot. Now, Blue Box’s latest efforts appear to shuffle some of its previous statements under the rug....
