It would be easy to dismiss the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) showing against India in their Group A clash of the 2025 Asia Cup earlier this week. Under Muhammad Waseem’s captaincy, the side collapsed to the lowest-ever T20I total against India, bundled out for just 57 in 13.1 overs. At first glance – whether from the scorecard or the highlights – it might seem like there was little fight from the UAE. India’s bowlers, led by Kuldeep Yadav and Shivam Dube, completely dominated, paving the way for a commanding nine-wicket win with 93 balls still remaining. Alishan Sharafu scored 22…

With the September 18 deadline for submitting views on the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) discussion paper on its monetary policy framework fast approaching, former members of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) are largely in favour of retaining the targets as per the existing Flexible Inflation Target (FIT) regime and want to continue to focus on keeping headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation at 4 per cent in the medium term.Officially adopted in August 2016, the CPI inflation target of 4 per cent within a tolerance band of 2-6 per cent is required to be revisited every five years and decided…

Pakistan’s spin-heavy attack was a notable difference in their opening game of the Asia Cup 2025 tournament earlier this week and Sanjay Manjrekar feels Salman Agha’s men can threaten India on Sunday with their unusual bowling composition. Pakistan secured a 93-run victory over Oman, thanks to a superb display from their four specialist spinners. The spin quartet, which included Saim Ayub and Sufiyan Muqeem, who each took two wickets, proved too much for the Omani batters on the turning pitch. Although captain Salman Agha was an additional spin bowling option, he wasn’t needed as the primary spinners controlled the match.…

Google Play Store is the go-to app store for millions of Android users to download and discover apps. Over the years, the tech giant has rolled out several redesigns and features that make it really useful. However, in August last year, Google moved the Play Store’s Search bar from the top of the screen to the bottom bar in the form of a button. While this was a welcome change for some, it requires users to make two taps if they want to search for an app, book or other things on the Google Play Store. If you are someone…

Pakistan’s left-handed batter Saim Ayub is rising quickly through the ranks, and he is one of the most exciting batters to watch when he gets going. The 23-year-old has not been that consistent, for which he has coped with a bit of criticism; however, one cannot deny that he has become a vital cog of the batting lineup ever since Mike Hesson took over as the white-ball coach. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are out of the T20I playing XI, and Hesson’s impact on the team has finally started to bear fruit as the team has started to play slam-bang…
