Both Pakistan and England stormed into the T20 World Cup 2022 Final, with dominating performances in the semi-finals. While Pakistan defeated New Zealand by seven wickets with five balls to spare, England thrashed India by 10 wickets with four overs to spare. However, the much-awaited final match between the two is now up in the air due to rain scare.

November 13 is anticipated to rain with a 95% chance of 15 to 25mm of precipitation. Showers are highly likely—nearly 100%. As of the morning of November 11, the Bureau of Meteorology was foretelling the potential for a thunderstorm, possibly severe, with heavy rainfall possible.

November 14 has been kept as the reserve day. However, that day is also predicted to be hazy, with a 95% chance of rain and precipitation totals between 5 and 10mm. If it is decided that at least 10 overs are not bowled for each side, the reserve day will come into play. The 10-over rule came into effect for the knockout matches. For the Super 12 stage, a minimum of five overs had to be played.

آئندہ ہفتے امریکی صدر جو بائیڈن اور چینی صدر شی جن پنگ کے درمیان ایک ایسے وقت میں ملاقات ہونے والی ہے جب دو بین الاقوامی طاقتوں کے درمیان تائیوان اور ایشیا کے معاملات کی وجہ سے سرد جنگ عروج پر ہے۔

واضح رہے کہ جو بائیڈن کے برسراقتدار آنے کے بعد بطور صدر یہ ان کی شی جن پنگ سے پہلی ملاقات ہو گی جس سے قبل امریکہ نے اپنی چپ ٹیکنالوجی تک رسائی محدود کر کے چین کی برآمدی منڈی کو کافی نقصان پہنچایا ہے جسے فون اور الیکٹرک گاڑیوں سمیت سامان کی تیاری کے لیے اس ٹیکنالوجی کی ضرورت ہوتی ہے۔

دونوں سپر پاورز کے درمیان تناؤ اور الزامات میں اضافے کی وجہ سے پوری دنیا، بالخصوص خطے میں امریکی اتحادی انڈیا، جاپان اور آسٹریلیا، کی نظریں اس ملاقات کی طرف ہوں گی جو سوموار کو جی 20 سمٹ سے قبل بالی میں ہونے جا رہی ہے۔

واضح رہے کہ جمعرات کو اس ملاقات کے بارے میں بات کرتے ہوئے امریکی صدر جو بائیڈن نے کہا تھا کہ ’مجھے یقین ہے ہم تائیوان پر بات چیت کریں گے اور میں جاننا چاہوں گا کہ ہم ریڈ لائنز کا تعین کر سکیں۔‘

This is Stadium 974, thought to be the first-ever FIFA World Cup stadium which can be dismantled and then reassembled anywhere in the world.

It has been built and paid for by this year's World Cup host nation Qatar.

It's called 974 because the number is the international dialing code for Qatar (+974), as well as being the exact number of shipping containers used in the stadium's construction.

The concept of the stadium was designed by Fenwick Iribarren Architects, based in the Spanish capital Madrid.

The concept of sustainability is at the core of the stadium's, says Mark Fenwick, one of the partners in the architectural practice:

"We really felt that it wasn't really necessary for Qatar to have this eighth stadium after the World Cup," he says.

"So, we decided to take a very radical strategy, which was to see if we can actually design the stadium which is not only dismantle-able, but was also transportable, and re-mountable in another country, either as a full stadium, or as different pieces which could be put together as a variable amount of sports buildings."

The sustainability argument has been disputed though. Some argue Qatar would achieve more environmental benefits if the stadium's vital air conditioning units and other utilities were powered by renewable energy, rather than fossil fuels.

The stadium has a capacity of 40,000 spectators and is built according to a modular design, using recycled shipping containers.
