In a close victory over Bangladesh on Monday at Arnos Vale Ground, Rashid Khan and Naveen-ul-Haq both claimed four wickets to help Afghanistan advance to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 semi-finals.

In a match affected by weather, Afghanistan managed to contain Bangladesh for 105 runs in 17.5 overs, even with Litton Das scoring an undefeated fifty-seven.

To qualify for the semi-finals, Bangladesh had to chase the score in 12.1 overs. If Bangladesh had not chased inside the allotted overs, Australia would have qualified instead.

Das got Bangladesh off to a terrific start in the opening over, hitting 13 runs off Naveen-ul-Haq. But, the bowler came back brilliantly in the next over, taking two wickets in the space of two balls.

In the second over, Tanzid Hasan was bowled by Fazalhaq Farooqi. Naveen-ul-Haq then removed Bangladesh’s captain Najmul Hossain Shanto (5) and Shakib Al Hasan on successive deliveries.

Rain interrupted play for 20 minutes with Bangladesh behind 31-3 in 3.2 overs.

Following the interval, Das and Soumya Sarkar (10) tried to launch a Bangladeshi comeback with a 25-run partnership, but Rashid Khan, the Afghanistan captain, spoiled their party by getting rid of Sarkar.

Before becoming a target for Rashid Khan, Towhid Hridoy scored 14 off 9 against Mohammad Nabi and hit two boundaries.

Das fought alone since Afghanistan could not be really threatened by any batter from Bangladesh.

Using the Duckworth Lewis Stern technique (DLS), Rashid Khan removed Mahmdullah (6) and Rishad Hossain (0) prior to a brief rain delay, bringing the goal down to 114 in 19 overs.

Naveen-ul-Haq took the final two wickets on consecutive deliveries as Bangladesh collapsed for 105 after Das reached his half-century in 41 balls with a four off Noor Ahmed. Nevertheless, wickets kept falling from the other end.

With bowling statistics of 4-26 and 4-23, respectively, Naveen-ul-Haq and Rashid Khan made a comeback. Naib and Farooqi, meanwhile, each took one wicket.

Afghanistan chose to bat first but was unable to get off to the ideal start due to Bangladesh’s economical bowling.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran, who batted first, did not make a sound in the first ten overs, but they did manage to score 58 runs off of just two fours and one six.

But with the pressure mounting, Zadran tried a powerful shot on Rishad Hossain, only to be caught by Tanzim Hasan Sakib.

The right-handed batter hit one boundary and scored a shaky 18 off 29.

Gurbaz was unable to break free after the seventh over due to Hossain’s two fours; nonetheless, he was sent out by the same bowler on the opening ball of his subsequent over.

Gurbaz amassed the highest score with a circumspect 43 runs off 55 balls, three fours, and a six. In the same over, Soumya Sarkar’s outstanding catch allowed Gulbadin Naib to fall as well.

Then, in a 10-ball cameo, Afghanistan’s captain Rashid Khan scored 19 runs with three sixes, including two in the last over, to enable his side reach 115-5 in 20 overs.

After his return, Hossain finished with a 3-26 bowling average. Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed each took one wicket.

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.

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.”
