T20 WC: New Zealand Are Always David; Go Out There To Do The Best For Country, Says Phillips
T20 World Cup: New Zealands batting allrounder Glenn Phillips said his side were used to being the David against giant sides like India all the time and that they are going to put their best foot forward for the country when the 2026 Men's T20 World Cup final takes place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. New Zealand, a nation of 5.5 million, has reached the summit clash against the hosts, who can call upon a talent pool vast enough to field multiple competitive sides. I mean, we're never given a chance to usually even be in the semifinals, and we're always there. So we're always David. I guess that means only one team can fail, doesn't it? For us, we just go out there and enjoy it. We have a great time as a group of guys. We go out there, do our best for our country. Obviously, a packed crowd is fantastic. We play to entertain the people, and whether they're supporting us or whether they're supporting India, it's fantastic for cricket in general, Phillips told reporters ahead of the sides training session on Friday. The high-octane title clash is expected to pit New Zealand's batters against India wrist-spinner Varun Chakaravarthy, whos been a little expensive of late. I think obviously we've played him quite a few times in the past now, which is helpful. But obviously he's an incredible bowler, and we will just go out there and try and face the ball one ball at a time. Obviously, he is allowed to have a good day, but we're also allowed to have a good day, and we'll see what happens, added Phillips. Phillips was candid about ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah's quality, especially after he produced two match-turning overs in the back end, which helped India edge England by seven runs in the semi-final in Mumbai. Obviously, we had a really good trip against him in the bilateral series as well. But he's a class bowler. Obviously, Bumrah is a fantastic bowler. He's got so many variations. He hits the block hole at the death incredibly well. Obviously, the way the England boys played him yesterday in terms of trying to take the overs to, I guess, the last two overs and give themselves as much of a chance as possible was, I guess, the tactic that they'd employed. He's human as well. He is allowed to have a bad day, as are the rest of us. So hopefully, we have a good day against him, he added. Phillips added that capitalising on any loose deliveries from Bumrah would be crucial. It's not necessarily going to be that, per se. As I said, a bowler is allowed to miss. If he happens to miss, we do have to put it away. But that also means that if he does bowl well, we do have to, I guess, accommodate for other things and adapt on the fly. The previous night's semifinal between India and England -- a high-octane run fest -- prompted discussion about batter-friendly surfaces. Phillips stated New Zealand were prepared for any conditions the pitch might offer on Sunday evening. Look, obviously that was a fantastic game. It was great to watch last night, great for cricket in general. Obviously, there are things going around about pitches being too batter-friendly and things like that. But obviously, I think it's an entertaining brand of cricket, and the pitches at different stadiums play each time differently. So whatever we see, we'll try and adapt to (ahead of the final on Sunday). If that means lots of runs, then that means lots of runs. But if it means that it's going to be a little bit of a scrap, we're up for that as well. The dew is also expected to be a factor, though some chemical spraying is expected to happen on the ground so that it doesnt make the game lop-sided. New Zealand gained some insight into the dew factor in Kolkata during the nine-wicket semi-final over South Africa, where they successfully chased down 170, thanks to Finn Allens record 33-ball century. I think coming from Kolkata was a great opportunity to understand that dew factor. We were obviously lucky enough to win the toss and bat and chase down 170 in a very limited number of overs, which is fantastic. So, especially the boys up top, they're used to playing with high strike rates. Obviously, all the Indian boys do the same. Obviously, the dew factor is always a thing here in India this time of year. Whether the chemicals work or dew is going to be a factor; if we do end up having to bat first and bowl second, then we're going to have to adapt as much as possible to that situation. I guess, go out there, try to execute our skills as much as possible, whether we've got a wet ball or a dry ball. There's no real excuse, added Phillips. Phillips said New Zealand's journey to the final, despite one stumble against England in the Super Eights, had been built on collective effort, citing the match-winning contributions of Allen and Tim Seifert in the semifinal. We're pretty happy with how we've gone about things. Obviously, we had a little bit of a hiccup against England there, and we were in a strong position. But the way the boys came out against South Africa, I guess it comes down to one game at a time. In knockout competitions, it does seem to turn up for whoever's there on the day. Obviously, the way Finn batted the other day was fantastic. Along with Seifert, the boys bowled incredibly well. So it's a one-off game again, which is fantastic, and hopefully, we can go and adapt to the best we can. When it comes to going toe-to-toe with a cricketing superpower on home soil in front of a 130,000-strong crowd, Phillips said the gulf in resources had never stopped New Zealand before and would not stop them now in their quest to win their first-ever Mens T20 World Cup. I think cricket is cricket at the end of the day. Everybody's trying to get to the same position and, I guess, trying to perform as best they can for their country or whichever team they're playing against. In knockout competitions, it does seem to turn up for whoever's there on the day. Obviously, the way Finn batted the other day was fantastic. Along with Seifert, the boys bowled incredibly well. So it's a one-off game again, which is fantastic, and hopefully, we can go and adapt to the best we can. Also Read: Live Cricket Score They could probably pick three sides that would compete just as evenly in this World Cup. So, for us to go out and compete with teams around the world with such a small population is fantastic. But I think we've put it down to a lot of our team culture, our preparation, and trying to do the little things well, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

Rupee ends 6 paise lower at 91.70 against USD in range-bound trade amid West Asia crisis
Mumbai, Mar 6 (PTI) The rupee stayed range-bound throughout the session on Friday and ended 6 paise lower at 91.70 (provisional) against the US dollar, resisting pressure from inflated crude oil prices and suspected RBI intervention.

This International Womens Day, Airbnb is celebrating the growing community of women hosts and travellers who are driving hospitality and travel trends across India. Nearly 30% of Airbnb hosts in India are women (1) , and they manage almost 35% of Guest Favourite listings (2) , highlighting their impact in delivering exceptional guest experiences and shaping local tourism. Embracing this years theme, Give to Gain, Airbnb recognizes the role women play in strengthening communities through hosting and travel. By sharing their homes, culture and local knowledge, women hosts are creating economic opportunities not only for themselves but also for their communities. Highlighting Airbnbs commitment to enabling women entrepreneurs across India, Amanpreet Singh Bajaj, Airbnbs Country Head for India and Southeast Asia, said , Women who host are not just building successful businesses, but also strengthening local economies and communities. When women share their homes, skills and stories, they create opportunities not just for themselves, but for others around them. In turn, guests contribute to local livelihoods, helping circulate value deeper into communities. When women thrive, entire communities benefit. Beyond hosting, Indian women travelers are also increasingly shaping travel trends on Airbnb. Duo travel followed by small group trips remained the most popular trip type amongst Indian women travelers. In terms of destinations, internationally Dubai, London, Bangkok, Paris, Ubud, Amsterdam, Tokyo and Rome were the most searched destinations for Indian women travelers in 2025.

Internationally, the town of Kazbegi in Georgia recorded an over 100% year-on-year increase in bookings on Airbnb. (4) This growing momentum toward emerging and off-beat destinations reflects a broader shift among women travellers toward more intentional, experience-led journeys, where travel not only creates personal memories but also supports local communities and smaller tourism ecosystems. Airbnb has also been working to strengthen this ecosystem through initiatives such as the Airbnb Entrepreneurship Academy in Goa , the first of its kind in India. The program equips aspiring homestay entrepreneurs with skills in hospitality, business fundamentals and sustainable hosting, with a dedicated focus on empowering women and supporting rural communities. Many of the organizations in India receiving donations from the Airbnb Community Fund this year also work to advance opportunities for women. Sharing her journey, Babita, a Host in Uttarakhand who upskilled through the Airbnb Entrepreneurship Academy , said, Before the Airbnb Academy training, we were running a homestay without really knowing how. Airbnb taught us important skills like how to register, how to host, and how to share our culture. It gave me the confidence to grow my small idea into a sustainable livelihood. This International Womens Day, Airbnb continues its commitment to creating more inclusive opportunities for women. Through hosting and travel, women across India are helping build stronger local economies while contributing to a more diverse and resilient tourism landscape. About Airbnb Airbnb was born in 2007 when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 5 million hosts who have welcomed over 2 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe.

Samson's Has Toughened Up Mentally, He's Come Of Age Now: Shastri
T20 World Cup: Former India coach Ravi Shastri believes Sanju Samson is mentally stronger when he bats, and this change in mindset is the reason for his good performances in the T20 World Cup. Samson has been on the fringes of India's best T20I outfit in recent years and missed selection during the early portion of the T20 World Cup when Ishan Kishan was preferred as opener and Rinku Singh was in favour. But the wicketkeeper batter has contributed consecutive Player of the Match performances to help guide India into the final of the T20 World Cup against New Zealand, with his most recent innings coming in the knockout semi-final with England in Mumbai when he struck seven sixes in a superb knock of 89 Although Samsons improved form has surprised many, Shastri was not surprised as he has noticed a clear change in the right-handers approach. I think finally realising and coming to terms with the fact that he needs to be more consistent. He's got to be wiser with his shot selection and he's got to back his strengths, Shastri said on The ICC Review. The thing with Sanju is he's got every shot in the book, but lapses in concentration. I think he's toughened up mentally and there's never anyone who's doubted his skill or talent ever since he made the side. What people have been disappointed is that the run of consistency that should have been there by now isn't there, but he's come of age now, he added. Shastri further said Samson's best form is still ahead given his role in the India team is now clearly defined. He's still just 31 years of age and a genuine match-winner. And when you see shots like (today) that is being played, there's class, there's touch there, there's power there, there's brute force. It's just unbelievable, Shastri noted. Highlighting the recent efforts of fellow opener Abhishek Sharma are of some concern heading into Sunday's final of the T20 World Cup against New Zealand, Shastri believes it's too late to make a change to India's XI and India should stick with the young opener in the tournament decider against the Black Caps. He's still just 31 years of age and a genuine match-winner. And when you see shots like (today) that is being played, there's class, there's touch there, there's power there, there's brute force.
