The press release from the International Cricket Council, which announced that Nat Sciver-Brunt was sitting back at the top of the list of the world’s one-day international all-rounders (for the first time since September 2022), could not have come at a better time: it landed at 3pm on Tuesday, midway through England’s innings at Taunton. Twenty minutes later, she reached her fourth century against Australia in her last five ODI innings and her second in three days. Against them, no other woman has accrued more tonnes of points. The main distinction from the previous three was that this one, at…

Natalie Sciver-Brunt was on her haunches, gripping the handle of her bat, gasping for air, with one ball remaining in the match’s 100th over. In order to force a super over, she needed four to tie and six to win. The entire ground was out of air after her final swing of the match, which didn’t connect cleanly enough to find either sort of boundary. The England-supporting audience let out a big sigh. Reclaiming the trophy had still been an option, but it was too late. The similarities to 2005 haven’t stopped as the men’s and women’s Ashes series have…

Nine bodies have been found by rescuers trying to reach automobiles trapped in a flooded tunnel close to the South Korean city of Cheongju. Passengers and drivers were stranded in their vehicles because flood water from days of heavy rains flowed into the subway too quickly. After widespread flooding, landslides, and power outages, at least 35 people have died in total. There are more than ten persons missing. Although the exact number of individuals still trapped inside the 685-meter-long Osong, South Korea, tunnel is unknown, 15 vehicles are believed to be buried. A bus’s interior yielded many of the dead.…

In their second Twenty20 match against Bangladesh, India appeared to be heading for a humiliating loss after the first over of the second innings. Choosing to bat first, captain Harmanpreet Kaur stated that a 150-plus score was the goal while leading an unchanged lineup from their blowout seven-wicket victory on Tuesday. However, once the host team tried its hand at spin, India came out at a pitiful 95-8, with Pooja Vastrakar’s maiden over going for just 10. Bangladesh suffered an eight-run loss, giving India the series victory. However, a spin choke-hold of their own, thanks to veteran Deepti Sharma, rookies…

According to Matthew Miller, a spokesman for the US Department of State, at a news conference on Monday, the US will welcome any role that India or any other nation might play in assisting in achieving a “just and lasting peace” while recognising Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty. Miller responded to the question of whether India, or specifically Prime Minister Narendra Modi, could contribute to resolving the protracted conflict between Russia and Ukraine by saying, “We welcome a role that India or any other country could play in helping achieve a just and lasting peace that recognises Ukraine’s territorial integrity…

Sen went on to overcome the All England champion after winning the India Open by giving his flat drives more acceleration, snatching every short lift, and hitting some impossibly close strokes to the net. Sen won the…

Iceland is renowned for its magnificent glaciers, erupting volcanoes, and scorching hot springs in frigid weather. The name “the land of ice and fire” is appropriate given its contrasted surroundings. Unsettling events this week have alerted Southwest Iceland, particularly the areas near its capital Reykjavik, raising worries across the globe.

Additionally, since Thursday night (July 6) over six earthquakes with a magnitude greater than 3.5 have been registered in the Reykjanes Peninsula, with the most…

The world is currently experiencing one of its warmest weeks on record, according to an unofficial analysis. This excessive heat is the latest in a long line of extreme weather events brought on by climate change. The classification was made by the Climate Reanalyzer at the University of Maine, which gauges the state of the earth using satellite data and computer models. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration dissociated itself from the designation on Thursday. Using that metric, it was determined that on Wednesday, the planet’s average temperature stayed at the previous day’s unofficial record high of 62.9 degrees Fahrenheit…
