Forza Horizon 6 gives would-be racers another gorgeous open world to explore
I've played a couple of hours of Forza Horizon 6 , and so far I've enjoyed it in much the same way as its predecessor: by exploring and taking in the sumptuous world Playground Games has crafted. The preview build I played on my Xbox Series X was limited in terms of available activities it was basically the game's prologue but I was able to explore almost all of the open world. The on-rails intro takes you through some of the Japanese countryside and past landmarks like Tokyo Tower and Shibuya Crossing on the way to a race through the streets of the country's largest city. Once that was out of the way and a springtime version of the map opened up, I set a marker for the mountains in the north. I wanted to check out an area I'd seen in a screenshot, a pass where you can drive through snowdrifts that are dozens of feet tall. Playground Games/Xbox Game Studios My goal was simple: to bury my car into these snowdrifts, just to find out if it was possible. Sadly, the piles of snow were steadfast barriers. What a shame. The journey to the mountains took me through rainstorms and falling cherry blossom leaves, small towns and forests. The environments, vehicles and weather effects all look pretty and polished, as you'd expect from this series at this point. (For what it's worth, I normally opt for performance mode in modern console games, prioritizing higher framerates over visual fidelity. This Forza Horizon 6 preview was locked to the 30fps quality mode.) In the prologue, there are activities to complete ahead of the Horizon Qualifier, a wristband event that gates story progress, and I checked a few of those out on my way up north. Trying to go as fast as you can through speed traps, drag meets, time trials and drift zones are enjoyable enough, but it's the races that are the bread and butter of this series. I entered a challenging cross-country race in a GMC Jimmy with a tall suspension. Not my smartest move. Still, I managed to pull out the victory after drifting my way across rice fields and beaches. I would have had an easier time if I'd chosen my car more carefully there'll be hundreds available in the full game. Playground Games has built on the very welcome slate of accessibility features from Forza Horizon 5 as well. Having options like autosteering should help ensure a broader range of folks can play the latest game. Other than only having access to a limited number of activities, the only aspects of the open world that were blocked off were The Estate (i.e. your home base) and Legend Island, which sounds like an endgame region. I didn't tinker with my vehicles in the garage either. I did, however, stumble across an aftermarket sale, where I was able to buy a tuned-up car at a discount. That's one of several neat additions in Forza Horizon 6 . Playground Games/Xbox Game Studios Though I'm not much of a car guy, I dug my time with the last two Forza Horizon games. I'm looking forward to playing through this one. More than anything, though, Forza Horizon 6 is nudging me toward taking the step of actually booking my second trip to Japan, which I've been thinking about taking later this year. As pretty as the game is shaping up to be, it can't beat the real deal. If I do take that trip this summer, I wont get to see the aforementioned giant snowbanks in person. That area of the map is based on a real place, the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route , where the snow walls can reach 65 feet in height. I wouldn't want to travel between snowbanks like that in real life anyway, so driving through the pass in the game was a worry-free way to have that experience. Thanks for that, Playground. Forza Horizon 6 is coming to Xbox Series X/S, Xbox on PC, Steam and Xbox Cloud on May 19. It'll be available on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. The game is set to hit PS5 at a later date.

With Ecosystem Thinking, VinFast is Building Vietnam's Golden Age of EVs
In Vietnam, EVs have quietly moved from fringe to mainstream. At the center is VinFast, building not just vehicles but the full system that makes electric mobility practical, affordable, and increasingly hard to ignore. Thanks to its ecosystem-led logic, VinFast has been the number one brand in Vietnam for over a year There was a point in time when electric vehicles weren’t just a relative novelty, but were actually a preferred choice, at least in the U.S., where they first gained traction. Even back in the 1990s, people were already aware of the benefits of EVs, being quieter, easier to operate, and well-suited for city trips. That momentum did not last. Oil became abundant and inexpensive. Fuel stations spread rapidly, stitching together cities and highways into a seamless network. Electricity infrastructure, by contrast, remained uneven and limited in reach. Without reliable ways to recharge, electric vehicles slowly slipped out of daily use, replaced by engines that could refuel almost anywhere. For decades, the balance tipped decisively in favor of gasoline. What this historical tidbit shows is that EVs didn’t lose because they were inferior, but because the system around them never fully materialized. The companies pushing electrification today are working with that lesson in mind, building not only vehicles but the conditions that allow them to function at scale. Vietnam offers a clear before-and-after view of this shift. Not long ago, electric vehicles were rare enough to draw attention. Conversations with drivers often circled back to the same concerns, how far the car could go, and where it could be charged. For most people, home charging was the only realistic option, which excluded a large share of urban dwellers living in older buildings or dense inner-city neighborhoods. Fast forward to the current day, and almost everywhere you go, you will see EVs big and small, four-wheel and two-wheel, blending in with the local traffic landscape. It may very well be that we are witnessing something akin to a second golden age of EVs, now taking shape in Vietnam. And it’s not an overstatement to say that much of that renaissance owes itself to VinFast, the country’s first and leading domestic EV manufacturer. Many, if not the majority, of EVs currently running on Vietnamese roads are made by them. Days before the end of March, they set a new record with more than 3,520 orders completed in a single day, equivalent to the monthly sales of some internal combustion engine automakers in the country. The foundation of that success is not laid overnight but over several years of intensive effort. The one brand that builds it all To understand VinFast, it helps to go through a little bit about its history. VinFast was founded in 2017 with the backing of billionaire founder Phm Nht Vng, the richest man in Southeast Asia as of early April. To Vuong, whose view of national rise matters deeply, VinFast is not just a financial project but “a devotion project”. And VinFast, true to its name, was fast. In just a few years from its conception, it has, in quick succession, launched a wide range of vehicles. From compact city cars to larger SUVs, from personal vehicles to fleet-focused models, the range now spans multiple segments, all in just under nine years. More recently, that portfolio has been structured into three distinct lines, the VF series for personal users, the Green lineup for transport services, and the Lc Hng line at the top end. “There’s always something that fits you at your price range. If not for me, then for someone in the family,” said a VinFast sales rep in Hanoi . But once again, the variety of products is not the only thing that VinFast focuses on to sell EVs, not if it wanted to avoid the same mistake of the EV OEMs of the past. Through a partnership with V-Green, a global charging provider that shares the same founder with VinFast, the young company is developing a charging network planned to reach around 150,000 ports nationwide, with an additional 99 superchargers in planning. Now Vietnam has one of the most extensive charging networks in the world, with one charging station every around 3.5 km in urban areas and about 65 km along highways, making it even denser than the US federal guideline of one every 80 km. Chargers appear in apartment basements, shopping centers, roadside stops, even residential compounds. Once the charging network is dense enough, it’s only natural for drivers to realize they can top up their electric vehicle at a far better rate than their gasoline bill, a fact driven home further by the free charging policy offered at V-Green stations until March 2029. For some households, that translated into savings of several hundred dollars a year, a non-insignificant amount that can turn into a new financial cushion for the family. “Honestly, I stopped thinking about fuel,” s aid a ride-hailing driver waiting at a charging point in Hanoi. “Now I think about how many trips I can take instead.” So charging is covered. What about when your EV breaks down (which actually happens less for EVs than ICE vehicles, according to a recent report by a university in Vietnam, aligning with global trends)? For that, as of November 2025, VinFast has 350 service centers covering the whole country, giving the company one of the largest aftersales networks nationwide. You would think that number is already sufficient, but not quite. The company aims to expand to 400 service workshops nationwide by the end of the year, to meet the rising demand for EV maintenance and repair. Combined with the charging infrastructure, everything seems to close the loop. Drivers know where to charge, where to fix, and how much it will cost. Around this core, additional pieces have been added. VinFast vehicles often come with segment-leading warranties, up to 10 years/200,000 km. Ride-hailing through an all-electric platform, public buses running on battery power, driver-training programs designed specifically for EVs, even battery swapping networks for two-wheelers. Each element reduces friction for a different group of users, from daily commuters to commercial operators. All of them make electric mobility feel less like a transition and more like a normal, desirable part of daily life for consumers. Exporting the model Thanks to its ecosystem-led logic and a lot of elbow grease, VinFast has been the number one brand in Vietnam for over a year—not the top EV brand, but the top car brand overall. And it’s now looking to other markets for growth. It’s exporting the same model, with India as the most visible test case. The anchor sits in Tamil Nadu, where VinFast’s four hundred-acre facility, with potential for further expansion, has begun churning out the VF 6 and VF 7 for Indian users. Phase one capacity stands at fifty thousand vehicles annually, with room to expand threefold. The same type of network that helped VinFast address the concerns of early Vietnamese consumers is now being built in parallel across India. 51 dealerships have already opened, stretching from northern cities like Delhi and Gurugram to southern hubs such as Chennai and Bengaluru. The number is set to rise steadily, with the goal of reaching 75 by the end of the year. Supporting this footprint is a web of partnerships that is unusually explicit in its structure. Charging infrastructure is being rolled out through V-Green, which has already begun deploying stations across dealerships, workshops, and third-party locations, alongside discussions with fuel retailers such as HPCL to integrate EV charging into existing petrol station networks. Maintenance and workshop coverage are handled through a combination of in-house dealer facilities and third-party service providers, most notably myTVS, which brings an established nationwide service backbone. Roadside assistance is supported by Global Assure, enabling 24/7 emergency response and towing coverage across major corridors. Financing, often the final hurdle, has been addressed with equal specificity. VinFast has signed agreements with multiple banks, including YES BANK, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, the State Bank of India, and the Central Bank of India. These partnerships are structured to cover both sides of the market. On the dealer side, they provide inventory financing to help partners scale operations without heavy upfront capital. On the customer side, they enable full on-road financing, flexible repayment tenures, and preferential interest rates, often with in-showroom loan processing to reduce friction at the point of purchase. All of these form the foundation for the brand to expands its product portfolio. Alongside the premium and award-winning VF 6 and VF 7, the upcoming VF MPV 7 targets family buyers with a focus on space and practicality rather than excessive features. And it seems like VinFast also plans to introduce electric two-wheelers and buses. Each addition is meant to reinforce the others, creating a system rather than a collection of products. The era of EV in Vietnam may well be in its golden age, while such an era in India is only beginning. But with ecosystem-thinking companies like VinFast, both appear determined to avoid the same fate that once held EVs back. Not by moving faster, but by building more completely.

Molinuex Was The Best Captaincy Option, On Track For T20 WC: Australia Chief Selector Shawn Flegler
T20 World Cup: Australias chair of selectors Shawn Flegler has acknowledged that the early phase of Sophie Molineuxs captaincy has been anything but conventional, citing her ongoing back issue as an unusual challenge, while backing the decision to appoint her as leader across formats. Molineux, who succeeded Alyssa Healy earlier this year, assumed leadership duties in phases, initially during the T20I series against India and then on a full-time basis for the West Indies tour following Healys retirement. However, a stress reaction in her back disrupted those plans, significantly limiting her role during the Caribbean leg. The allrounder was unable to bowl in that series and featured only as a specialist batter in the T20Is and the opening ODI before being rested for the remainder of the tour, a situation Flegler described as a setback during a crucial transition phase. Despite the complication, selectors have maintained their long-term focus on the upcoming T20 World Cup, which headlines a packed global calendar that also includes the 2027 Champions Trophy and the 2028 Olympics. We were clear from the start that the T20 World Cup was the priority series and we were going to make decisions around that, Flegler told reporters as the 2026-27 contracts list was announced. So, yeah, the stress reaction in the back during the Indian series, not ideal, but things do happen. We just made decisions around that and we decided we could either push through with it, take a big risk and see if she got through, or we just pull back a little bit. We decided to pull back, but we still thought it was important that she was around the group [in the West Indies]. She's on track for the T20 World Cup and that's what the goal was at the start. It's probably a fair point to say it's unprecedented. But we think, on balance, she was the candidate that was the best option for a number of reasons: her on-field experience and success that she'd had, her off-field connection and a vision for the team. We'll be judged on that as time goes on, but we think it was the right decision at the time. I think she's done really well in the games that she has captained and the way she's been around the group so far. I guess we'll see how that ends up in the T20 World Cup and how it goes in the future as well, he added. Flegler made it clear that Molineuxs role in the World Cup will hinge on her all-round capabilities, ruling out the possibility of her featuring solely as a batter. We're certainly not looking at her as a batting captain. She'll be playing as a bowling allrounder to be available, Flegler noted. The selector also stressed that the decision to elevate Molineux ahead of other senior figures such as Tahlia McGrath and Ashleigh Gardner was the result of a prolonged evaluation rather than a reactive call. Both McGrath and Gardner currently serve as vice-captains, with McGrath stepping in as stand-in skipper during the West Indies tour. These conversations took place over 12 months, essentially. Soph was picked as a 20-year-old initially and her leadership capabilities were recognised very early. So if she wasn't injured, you could easily have seen her being captain a couple of years earlier. I guess it's hard when you're not on the inside, you don't get to see all the stuff that does happen with team dynamics and how the group operates and what energy is around. When you're seeing decisions made and from an external point of view you go, that doesn't make sense, but we're comfortable internally that was the right decision for this group at this time. So we're happy to be judged on that down the track, he stated. Molineuxs limited bowling role in the West Indies has also added complexity to Australias selection plans for the World Cup, particularly concerning the composition of the spin attack. Alana King impressed during the T20I leg, earning Player of the Series honours, while Georgia Wareham continues to be viewed as a frontline option. Gardner further strengthens the spin resources, leaving selectors with a challenging balancing act. Conditions in England, where the tournament will be held, are expected to play a significant role in shaping the final squad, especially with some matches scheduled in the morning.

New BCB President Tamim Iqbal Chairs First Official Meeting
Bangla National Cricket Stadium: Newly-appointed Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Tamim Iqbal on Tuesday held his first official meeting with the Boards ad-hoc executive committee at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, marking the beginning of a new administrative phase for Bangladesh cricket. The BCB is scheduled to hold its next board meeting in a few days. The new BCB president, Tamim Iqbal, arrived at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium following the dissolution of the Bangladesh Cricket Boards previous leadership, after a probe found former chief Aminul Islam guilty of corruption during the last election. Addressing the media after meeting the newly formed ad-hoc committee, Tamim stressed the urgent need to restore the boards credibility. I am sure you all understand that the damage to cricket's reputation over the last one and a half years must be corrected collectively, Iqbal told reporters. He acknowledged that criticism would persist but emphasised a shared responsibility to rebuild pride in Bangladesh cricket. There will be criticism regarding whether we perform well or not, but no one here wants cricket to remain at its current low point. We always want cricket to be a source of pride. Those who work or have worked at the BCB should take pride in saying they work here. I am not sure if that pride can currently be expressed, given the activities of the past one and a half years. We must restore that pride, he added. Highlighting the importance of respect within the system, Tamim said, Players must be respected, and every stakeholder must be respected. That will be our primary task. We will change for the better, not just in words. We will make mistakes, and our team may also make mistakes, but we will learn from them and continue to try. This is our main goal. The ad-hoc committee has been tasked by the National Sports Council to conduct elections within 90 days, a responsibility Tamim said they would carry out with integrity. We have been brought in with a responsibility to hold a free and fair election within three months. We will perform this duty with as much honesty as we can and as quickly as we can, he said. On his own participation, he remained open-ended. You would have to ask me personally (whether I will take part in the next election). I may choose to participate, or someone else may, or they may not. When a free and fair election is held, I will request everyone interested to participate. Tamim also underlined the importance of inclusivity in the electoral process. It will be a board election, including current board members, players, and organisers - everyone should participate. We aim to create an atmosphere where everyone can take part in the election. Alongside overseeing elections, the committee will manage day-to-day operations. Alongside this, we will obviously look into day-to-day activities; there are World Cup issues, as you know. We will do whatever is necessary regarding everything, he said. The ad-hoc member, Tanzil Chowdhury, confirmed that Tamim will represent Bangladesh at the upcoming ICC meetings. We have a representation from the cricket board in the ICC and ACC. Traditionally, and also by design and conduct, the President attends that. So, in our case, we have nominated our President, Tamim Iqbal. And alongside, since we are an ad-hoc committee - we are not an elected committee or board - the ICC has guided us that it would be good if the CEO is there as an ex officio position, and so we have approved that today as well, he said. Alongside overseeing elections, the committee will manage day-to-day operations. Alongside this, we will obviously look into day-to-day activities; there are World Cup issues, as you know. We will do whatever is necessary regarding everything, he said. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Congratulations to Tamim Iqbal for becoming President of Bangladesh Cricket Board.

Were pleased to have reached a new agreement with USPS that furthers our longstanding partnership and will let us continue supporting our customers and communities together, an Amazon spokesperson told the WSJ . Amazon is the USPS's largest customer, accounting for 15 percent of its volume and $6 billion in revenue. A two-thirds cut would have been a disaster for the USPS, but a 20 percent reduction could result in more than $1 billion in lost revenue nonetheless. Amazon would have needed to scramble as well, as it relies heavily on the post office for rural and last-mile deliveries. Amazon's contract with the USPS was set to expire in September 2026, and in October Amazon said it wanted to strike a deal by December 2025. However, the USPS abruptly pulled out of negotiations, according to Amazon, and implemented a new bidding process for last-mile deliveries. Our goal was to increase our volumes with USPS, not reduce them until USPS abruptly walked away at the eleventh hour in December, Amazon said at the time. Amazon was reportedly considering expanding its own delivery network if the USPS deal fell through, though the company may have started those rumors itself to prod negotiations. The Postal Service decided to re-engage with Amazon after bids from several Amazon rivals fell short of its volume and revenue expectations, according to the WSJ 's sources. The new agreement is still subject to approval by the federal Postal Regulatory Commission.

IFL 2025-26: Chanmari Edge Real Kashmir In Srinagar
Sayad Bin Abdul Kadir: Goals from Marlon Rangel and Lalruatsanga in either half ensured Chanmari FC edged past Real Kashmir FC 2-1 in a crucial Indian Football League (IFL) 2025-26 at the TRC Stadium in Srinagar on Monday. Marius Bedzigui scored for the home side to halve the deficit, but Chanmari FC held on to the lead to move to seventh in the table with eight points, while Real Kashmir remained at the bottom of the table with two points from seven matches. Marlon Rangel was adjudged Player of the Match. Real Kashmir head coach Ishfaq Ahmed made three changes for the crucial fixture, bringing in Sayad Bin Abdul Kadir in goal in place of Furkan Ahmad Dar, Shahid Nazir into midfield for Ahteeb Ahmad Dar, and handing Shedrack Charles a start in place of Habib Fofana. Meanwhile, Chanmari FC head coach Dipankur Sharma also made three changes for his second game in charge, with Lalruatsanga, F. Malsawmtluanga, and Joel Lalramengmawia coming into the starting XI in place of Kyle Degelman, Suanngaihmuana, and Emmanuel Badu.

The Snow Leopards struck the woodwork twice in the first half.

Christopher Kamei floated a chipped delivery into the box, and Real Kashmir goalkeeper Sayad Bin misjudged its flight, completely missing the ball and leaving the goal exposed. Marlon Angel had the simplest of tasks, guiding it into the net to give the visitors the lead, which they took into the break. The visitors doubled their advantage just after the hour mark, capitalising on poor set-piece defending from Real Kashmir. Christopher Kamei was once again the provider, as his corner was expertly side-footed into the net by Lalruatsanga, who got ahead of his marker. The Snow Leopards pulled one back just two minutes later. Shedrack Charles was brought down on the edge of the box, earning a free-kick in a dangerous position. Marius stepped up and curled a superb effort over the five-man wall and into the net, leaving the goalkeeper rooted to the spot.
