England Beat India By 5 Wickets, Take 21 Lead In Mixed Disability T20I Series

Mixed Disability T20I: England held their nerve in a measured run chase to secure a five-wicket victory over India in the third Mixed Disability T20I at the Shahid Vijay Pathik Stadium, moving 21 ahead in the five-match series. Asked to bat first, India put up a competitive total of 147 for 7 from their 20 overs, built around a composed and commanding unbeaten innings from Majid. Batting through the innings, Majid scored 76 not out from 54 balls, striking three fours and five sixes as he anchored Indias effort after the early loss of wickets. Support for Majid was limited, with Yogendra Bhadoria contributing 16, while Akash Singh (10) and Ravindra Sante (11) made brief but useful cameos. Englands bowlers maintained control throughout, with Jordan Williams leading a disciplined attack that struck regularly and prevented India from breaking free in the closing overs. In reply, England paced the chase expertly, reaching the target at 148 for 5 with just one ball to spare. Wicketkeeper Angus Garant Brown set the tone at the top with a blistering 61 off 28 deliveries, an innings laced with five boundaries and six towering sixes that put immediate pressure on the Indian attack. Josh Price provided stability through the middle overs with a well-judged 29, before Henry John accelerated at the death, finishing unbeaten on 30 from 17 balls. Captain Callum Flynn remained calm under pressure, ending on 20 not out as England crossed the line.

Saim Ayub and Babar Azam hit half-centuries and Mohammad Nawaz took five wickets as Pakistan thrashed Australia by 111 runs to sweep the T20 series 3-0 on Sunday. Ayub hit 56 off 37 balls at the top of the order and Azam added an unbeaten 50 as Pakistan posted 207-6 before spinner Nawaz's career-best 5-18 helped skittle Australia for 96 in Lahore.

The tournament, jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka, begins on February 7. Australia, who lost the first match by 22 runs and the second by 90, were jolted early when skipper Mitchell Marsh was bowled by Shaheen Shah Afridi for one. Nawaz removed the other opener Matthew Short cheaply and also accounted for Cameron Green(22) and Marcus Stoinis(23). Shaheen, who took 2-16, bowled Matt Renshawas Australia slumped to 63-5. Nawaz then dismissed Josh Philippe for 14 andCooper Connolly without scoring to improve on his previous best T20I figures of 5-19 against Afghanistan in Sharjah last year. Skipper Salman Agha praised his team's performance in the series. We have been excellent in all departments; I can't find any mistakes, said Agha. We dominated them. I am in a great frame of mind right now. I know how to handle the captaincy when I go out to bat and I really want to do that in the World Cup as well. Marsh admitted his team had not been good enough. Pakistan certainly outplayed us throughout the whole series. As I said yesterday, there are learnings for us in this series, said Marsh.

Ranji Trophy: Karnataka, Jharkhand, Andhra, Uttarakhand, Jammu & Kashmir Qualify For Quarter-finals

IS Bindra Stadium: Karnataka, Jharkhand, Andhra, Uttarakhand and Jammu & Kashmir sealed their places in the Ranji Trophy quarter-finals after getting favourable results on the last day of their seventh round league matches. At the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali, Karnataka captain Devdutt Padikkal smashed an unbeaten 120 off 85 balls to steer his side to a stunning chase of 250 in just 27.5 overs against Punjab and clinch the last quarter-final spot. The left-hander, elevated to captaincy after Karnataka suffered a heavy defeat to Madhya Pradesh in the last game, aced the chase with a commanding knock and was supported by Mayank Agarwals brisk 53 off 36 balls. Saurashtra, who had beaten Chandigarh by an innings and 56 runs, looked set to hold the last quarter-final berth from Elite Group B after Madhya Pradesh sealed their spot. But their hopes hinged on Karnataka failing to win in Mohali. Padikkals emphatic knock ensured otherwise happened. Karnatakas bowlers had earlier restricted Punjab to 256 in the second innings, but the effort took 101 overs, leaving time a factor. Padikkal responded with urgency, racing to his first fifty in 42 balls and his second in just 32 deliveries, before sealing victory by hitting the winning runs. In terms of Elite Group A, Jharkhand, Andhra and Vidarbha were locked on 31 points at the top of Group A. But bonus point wins separated them, Jharkhand advancing with three, Andhra with two, while defending champions Vidarbha bowed out with only one against their name. Though Vidarbha beat Uttar Pradesh in Nagpur, they will miss the knockouts by a whisker and that means a new Ranji Trophy champion will be crowned this season. Vidarbha will be ruing the loss they had at the hands of Andhra, which ultimately proved to cause their downfall. In terms of Elite Group C, after Bengal beat Haryana to become table-toppers and enter the knockouts in Rohtak, Uttarakhand followed them into the quarter-finals after beating Assam by an innings and 42 runs. Mayank Mishra picked up 6-86 as Uttarakhand bowled out Assam for 278 after forcing them to follow-on. Captain Kunal Chandela's double-century in the first innings handed Uttarakhand the initiative early and they never let go of it in a dominating clash in Dehradun. In Elite Group D, with Mumbai forced to draw against Delhi, thanks to visitors skipper Ayush Doseja making an unbeaten 159, Jammu and Kashmir marked their progression into the knockouts as the second best side. J&K had taken a massive lead of 603 runs in the first innings against Himachal Pradesh, who were bowled out for 168 in the first innings and were in trouble at 26/2 in their second essay. But due to overnight rain, no play was possible on day four at the Amtar cricket ground in Nadaun.

Usman Tariq Trolls Cameron Green After 'chucking' Gesture In Pakistan Vs Australia 2nd T20I

Pakistan Super League: Pakistan spinner Usman Tariq responded sharply on social media after Australian all-rounder Cameron Green appeared to question his bowling action during the second T20I match played at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Saturday. Tariq posted a meme on Instagram on Sunday, suggesting that Greens reaction was driven by frustration following his dismissal. Though he did not mention Green by name, the timing and message of the post were widely seen as a clear response to the on-field incident. The incident occurred in the 11th over of Australias chase when Green was dismissed while trying to play an aggressive shot against Tariq. As he walked back to the pavilion, Green was caught on camera making a hand gesture that many interpreted as an accusation of chucking. The gesture quickly became a talking point among fans on social media, with some demanding a ban on the Pakistan bowler. Tariq is known for an unusual bowling action that includes a brief pause before releasing the ball. He has faced scrutiny in the past and was reported twice for a suspect action during the Pakistan Super League (PSL). However, on both occasions, he was later cleared after undergoing testing. Tariq was also embroiled in a chucking row ahead of the ILT20 final in the United Arab Emirates, forced to defend his unconventional action, which he claimed fell within all allowable 15-degree parameters of elbow straightening.

Greenfield International Stadium: Ishan Kishan smashed a breath-taking 42-ball century while captain Suryakumar Yadav struck a fine 63 as India piled up a commanding 271/5 against New Zealand in the fifth T20I at the Greenfield International Stadium on Saturday.

Though Suryakumar fell to Mitchell Santner after reaching his half-century, Kishan continued his onslaught to bring up a scintillating first T20I hundred before departing for 103 off 43 balls, laced with six fours and ten sixes at a strike-rate of 239.53. Hardik Pandya added late fireworks with a brisk cameo of 42 off 17 balls to push India past the 270 mark, and get their third-highest score in the format. Electing to bat first, India got off to a brisk start with Abhishek Sharma timing the ball sweetly in the opening overs and striking boundaries off Jacob Duffy and Kyle Jamieson to race to 24 off just nine balls. But Samsons lean run continued as he fell for just six, edging Lockie Ferguson to deep third man, leaving the home crowd stunned in silence. Abhishek looked dangerous but was undone by Fergusons pace and was castled for 30 off 16 deliveries. At 48/2 in the fifth over, India needed a push, and Kishan provided just that with a counter-attacking approach. He and Suryakumar then took charge, before going for the kill. The duo dismantled Santner in the 10th over with a flurry of boundaries and sixes yielding 20 runs. Kishan, who relentlessly peppered the leg-side with his boundaries, reached his fifty off 28 balls by punishing Ish Sodhi with a sequence of three fours and two sixes in a 29-run over. Suryakumar brought up his third fifty of the series in 27 balls while striking three sixes off Jacob Duffy in the 14th over. Santner eventually broke the stand by having Suryakumar stumped for 63 off 30 balls. Kishan, however, continued his assault, smashing Santner for successive sixes off different lengths to reach his maiden T20I hundred in just 42 balls and was greeted by a leaping Hardik, before being finally dismissed for 103 off 43 deliveries, caught at square leg off Duffy. Kishan, who relentlessly peppered the leg-side with his boundaries, reached his fifty off 28 balls by punishing Ish Sodhi with a sequence of three fours and two sixes in a 29-run over. Suryakumar brought up his third fifty of the series in 27 balls while striking three sixes off Jacob Duffy in the 14th over.

Duroflex Introduces the Next Generation of Sleep Tech in India with Airboost

by Duroflex designed to deliver deep, restorative sleep by addressing three fundamental pillars of recovery : Pressure: Airboosts air-matrix structure distributes body weight across 1 lakh+ micro-support points, reducing peak pressure and supporting spinal alignment. Breathability:Designed to enable 3 times more continuous airflow vs existing mattresses in the market, Airboost minimises heat build-up through the night. Energy restoration: Rapid responsiveness of Airboost reduces the energy required to roll over, supporting deeper sleep cycles and overnight recovery. Duroflex Airboost has been exclusively approved by the National Health Academy for effective spinal support and back pain reduction. The Indian Society of Sleep Research recommends Airboost for enhanced Slow Wave Sleep (Deep Sleep) in India www.duroflexworld.com/ pages/Airboost-mattress Airboost by Duroflex featuring Virat Kohli www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2iwN6a59SQ Duroflex Airboost I Latest in Sleep Tech Duroflex, one of Indias leading sleep and comfort solutions brands, announces the launch of the Airboost Series, a sleep science-led material innovation for the Indian mattress category. The proprietary Airboost is built with an open matrix fibre structure offering 3X breathability, and introduces a fundamentally different approach to sleep technology in an industry long defined by foam density, coir firmness and spring counts. Engineered to adapt hyper-locally to the human body, Airboost with 1 lakh+ independent micro-support points continuously contours to the shape and movement of the body while sleeping, helping distribute the bodys pressure evenly. Its 3D open-air structured design enables uninterrupted airflow from all directions, supporting effective heat dissipation away from the body. This temperature regulation is increasingly recognised as critical to sleep quality in Indias hot and humid climate. After testing various branded mattresses available in India, Duroflex Airboost has been exclusively approved by the National Health Authority (NHA) for its ability to support spinal health and the Indian Society for Sleep Research (ISSR) for enabling enhanced N3 sleep (also known as Slow Wave Sleep), the stage of sleep which focuses on physical recovery, tissue repair and immune strengthening of the body. This sleep innovation reinforces Duroflexs Designed to De-Stress philosophy - using sleep science to solve unmet consumer needs across the sleep and comfort ecosystem. In India, demanding work schedules, rising lifestyle stress, and environmental factors such as heat and humidity continue to compromise sleep quality. Postural adaptation, temperature regulation and overnight energy restoration play a crucial role in supporting deep restorative sleep. Airboost is designed to address these three fundamental sleep requirements simultaneously - in ways that the current mattress offerings in the market struggle to achieve. Speaking on the launch, Sridhar Balakrishnan, CEO, Duroflex Limited said, For six decades, Duroflex has been guided by a consumer-first principle, creating solutions that address real problems. We are the makers of Duropedic, the first ever mattress approved by doctors at NHA and trusted by elite athletes like Virat Kohli, Neuma - Indias first firmness adjustable mattress, and Wave Kinect, a smart bed compatible mattress . He added, Sleep is one of the most important health investments, yet material innovation in the mattress segment was long overdue. Airboost, our Make-In-India technology, disrupts traditional foam-and-coir approaches with over 1 lakh Airknit fibres by working with the bodys natural physiology. It reduces effort in regulating temperature, maintaining posture, and re-energising during the night. Every fibre, every design choice, is aimed at helping the body truly de-stress and wake up feeling restored. With our new, one-of-its-kind manufacturing facility in Hosur now fully operational, we are confident Airboost will find relevance with Indian consumers seeking deeper, more restorative sleep. Developed as part of Duroflexs long-term focus on sleep science and material innovation, Airboost reflects a broader shift towards rethinking how mattresses are built for modern lifestyles. As sleep research increasingly establishes connections between sleep quality and long-term health outcomes, materials that can measurably improve sleep architecture play a larger role towards healthier lifestyles. www.duroflexworld.com/pages/Airboost-mattress . About Duroflex Duroflex, one of the three largest mattress companies in India, offers a wide range of premium mattresses, sofas, recliners and sleep accessories with 60 years of experience and innovation. Backed by research, the brand today offers sleep and comfort solutions for consumers across the country. Its mattress range - Duropedic, one of India's leading ranges of orthopaedic mattresses has been recommended by doctors at the NHA.
