Teenage Naseem Shah’s clutch sixes on back-to-back balls of the final over helped Pakistan defeat Afghanistan by one wicket in their Super Four match of the Asia Cup 2022 in Sharjah on Wednesday.
Heading into the final over, Pakistan needed 11 runs with just a wicket in hand, thanks to an astonishing batting collapse. However, the 19-year-old Naseem, whose primary job is that of a pacer and who came in to bat at number 10 when all seemed lose, turned the match on its head.
Ireland's data watchdog the Data Protection Commission handed Meta a 405 million euro ($403 million) fine on Monday, the agency confirmed to Insider.
The Irish DPC acts as the EU's regulator for several US tech giants including Meta because their headquarters are based in the country.
The DPC fine was given to Instagram for failing to protect children's privacy on its platform. The fine was partly based on the fact Instagram had allowed children to operate business accounts on its platform. Instagram business accounts show the account holder's phone number and email address, meaning that data was exposed.
Away from the glamorous world of the Indian Premier League (IPL), there lies another version of T20 franchise cricket across the border which is quietly unearthing some gems.
Unlike the rising IPL stars that rub shoulders with the likes of David Warner, Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes, Kane Williamson, Pat Cummins, Anrich Nortje, Josh Hazlewood, Trent Boult and Kagiso Rabada – the who’s who of world cricket – local players in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) mostly get to play either against ageing international players and players that don’t really belong to the upper echelons in the world game.
But the PSL has nevertheless become the second most popular franchise league in the world, producing players that can deliver knockout punches on the biggest of matches.

PTI chief and former prime minister Imran Khan on Tuesday declared “enough is enough” as he hit out at those “deliberately distorting” his remarks about the future army chief’s appointment, as the PML-N termed him an “enemy of the state”.

The ex-premier had alleged the PPP and PML-N were opposing fresh elections because they wanted to “appoint an army chief of their choice” in November purportedly to save their skin in corruption cases.
