T20 World Cup: In a rain-soaked contest, South Africa defeated the West Indies to go to the semifinals.

In a Super Eights encounter impacted by rain on Monday, South Africa defeated the West Indies by three wickets to advance to the T20 World Cup semi-finals and eliminate the hosts.

South Africa stammered to 110-7 after Roston Chase claimed three wickets in their chase of a revised 123 off 17 overs, but they managed to reach their mark when Marco Jansen struck the opening ball of the last over for six.

After winning the toss, South Africa limited the West Indies to 135-8 at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua, thanks to a 3-27 effort by player of the match Tabraiz Shamsi.

All-rounder Chase top scored with 52, partnering with Kyle Mayers for 81 runs (35 off 34 balls) at the third wicket. His off-spin took 3-12, giving the West Indies hope.

After smashing the last six off Obed McCoy, Jansen’s undefeated 21 helped the Proteas win at 124-7.

“The last time I played here I went for 50 runs and there was a lot of chatter going around,” Shamsi commented.

“I was happy to come back and perform my role, but credit as well to the guys who bowled before me because they set it up beautifully.”

The left-arm wrist-spinner, who was brought in to replace seamer Ottneil Baartman, received great assistance from captain Aiden Markram (1-28) and fellow slow bowler Keshav Maharaj (1-24).

Anrich Nortje dropped Chase on eleven, but he took full advantage of the situation, hitting three fours and twice cleared the ropes.

After the hosts lost to 5-2 in the second over, his collaboration with Mayers enabled them to come back.

After Mayers was out of the game due to a sliced catch at deep cover by Shamsi, South Africa was able to contain the West Indies with a succession of wickets.

When the score was 117-6, Nortje atoned for his previous miscue by running out the threatening Andre Russell, who had hammered two sixes in his 15 off nine balls.

West Indies skipper Rovman Powell stated, “We will do everything in our power to forget this batting performance.”

We had a very good bowling effort. The lads truly gave it their all to protect that total when we indicated at the halfway point that we would give it everything we had.

During the intense chase, winning captain Markram acknowledged feeling anxious.

“There’s a lot of relief at making the semi-finals but we’re not going to be brainwashed by that because we would have liked to be a lot more convincing,” he added.

“Maybe we attempted to end the game too soon, but thus far in the competition, that has been the dominant theme.

“We get ourselves into tricky positions and then have to battle to get over the line.”

South Africa and England are Super Eight Group 2 semi-final qualifiers.

With the help of this new Instagram function, parents will have more control over what their kids do online.

New users between the ages of 13 and 15 will have their Teen Accounts enabled immediately, while current users in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia will be gradually transferred to the new accounts over the course of the following 60 days.

Important characteristics of teen accounts

Teen accounts are by default set to private, which limits the display of their posts to authorized followers and keeps non-followers from getting in touch with them.

Restrictions on Teen Messaging: To minimize unwanted encounters, teens are only able to message people they follow or already have a connection with.

Control of Sensitive Content: Tight settings will prevent exposure to potentially dangerous content, like advertisements for cosmetic procedures or violent content.

Parental Control: Guardians can keep an eye on their offspring’s internet behavior, such as direct messaging and content intake.

Positive Content: By allowing teenagers to research interests, like sports, music, or the arts, they can enhance their online experience.

Extra protection

Reminding teenagers to take breaks after 60 minutes of app use is part of the daily limit.

Sleep mode: To encourage sound sleep habits, automatically mute notifications between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.

Using artificial intelligence to power age verification, underage individuals can be identified and moved to teen accounts.

In yesterday’s 92-run defeat against Markhors, Asif Ali, who is playing for the Dolphins under Saud Shakeel, scored a fast half-century.

Asif stated in an interview with a local news station that he wanted to do well enough throughout the competition to possibly earn a spot back on the national squad.

He also disclosed that, prior to making his international debut, he batted at number four in domestic cricket but was forced to settle for number six. The energetic batter had a new task because of the
in batting order.

Asif stated, “Going from No. 4 to No. 6 is not easy.” “It’s critical to train properly for your position in international cricket. It can be challenging to drop to a lower position at the international level if you’re used to playing higher up the order at home.

He talked candidly about the Dolphins’ defeat against the Markhorses as well, stating that given the pitch conditions, he would not have chosen to field first.

“Batting was challenging because the pitch favored bowlers in the latter parts of the game,” he remarked. Because of the early dampness, the Dolphins’ management decided to field first.

He then on, “If they had asked me, I would have told them to bat first and not fall for that.”

Report: Solar is expected to set new records this year.

Published

In 2023, there was an expected 87% increase in growth. This year’s increase is 29% over the previous one, according to the research.

The cheapest source of electricity globally is solar power, and as such, it is expanding quicker than many anticipated, according to Euan Graham, an Ember electricity data analyst.

Ember estimates demonstrate the rapid growth of solar energy: in 2024 alone, new solar capacity will surpass the 540 GW of additional coal power added globally since 2010.

Expected to add 334 GW, or 56 percent of the global total in 2024, China continues to lead the globe in this industry.

According to the survey, it is followed by the US, India, Germany, and Brazil. These five nations will account for 75% of the new solar capacity in 2024.

According to the research, maintaining the sector’s growth required grid capacity and battery storage.

“Providing enough grid capacity and developing battery storage is critical for handling electricity distribution and supporting solar outside of peak sunlight hours as solar becomes more inexpensive and accessible,” the statement stated.

“Solar power might continue to surpass forecasts for the remainder of the decade if these issues are resolved and development is sustained.”
