Australia concluded their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 campaign on a winning note with a commanding nine-wicket victory over Oman in their final group-stage match at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy, Sri Lanka, on Friday. Adam Zampa’s brilliant four-wicket haul and captain Mitchell Marsh’s unbeaten half-century steered Australia to a comfortable win as they chased down a modest 105-run target with ease. Set to bat first, Oman were bowled out for 104 in 16.2 overs after Marsh opted to field. The Australian bowling attack struck early, reducing Oman to 39/3 inside five overs. Middle-order batter Wasim Ali attempted to stabilise the innings with a cautious 32 off 33 balls, but regular breakthroughs kept Oman under pressure.

Glenn Maxwell and Xavier Bartlett claimed two wickets eac...

To all the women who've heard the frustrating "it's all in your head" in response to medical maladies, a new study out Friday feels your pain. Research published in the journal Science Immunology shows that women actually do experience exacerbated chronic pain compared to men -- a gap that can be explained by biological differences in the immune system. "The pain of women has been overlooked in clinical practice," lead author Geoffroy Laumet told AFP, "with the idea that it's more in the mind, or that it's because women are softer and more emotional." "But here, our study shows that the difference is real... it's not a social construct. It has a real biological mechanism that is behind it." Pain occurs when neurons react to stimuli: stubbing your toe, or tripping and skinning your knee, for example. But chronic pain persists with mild to no stimulation -- and women constitute 60 to 70 percent of the patients experiencin...

Australia grabbed a dominant nine-wicket win over Oman as both sides wrapped up their ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 campaigns with today's (Friday) group-stage match at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Sri Lanka's Kandy. Adam Zampa's four-wicket haul and Mitchell Marsh's unbeaten half-century powered Australia to a convincing victory. Set to chase a modest 105, Australia made light work of the target as they struck the winning runs for the loss of just one wicket and 62 balls to spare. Leading the way for the 2021 champions was their captain, Marsh, who top-scored with an unbeaten half-century, making 64 off 33 deliveries, studded with seven fours and four sixes. Marsh was significantly supported by opening partner Travis Head, who chipped in with a 19-ball 32, as the duo put together 93 runs in eight overs until the left-hander was caught and bowled by Shakeel Ahmed. Following Head's dismissal, Josh Inglis ensured a dominant finish by smashi...

FIFA will spearhead a $75 million fund to rebuild soccer facilities in Gaza that were destroyed by the war between Israel and Hamas, President Donald Trump and the sport's governing body said Thursday. Trump made the announcement in Washington at the first meeting of his "Board of Peace," an amorphous institution that features two dozen of the US president's close allies and is initially focused on rebuilding the Gaza strip. "I'm also pleased to announce that FIFA will be helping to raise a total of $75 million for projects in Gaza," said Trump. "And I think they're soccer related, where you're doing fields and you're getting the greatest stars in the world to go there -- people that are bigger stars than you and I, Gianni," he added, referring to FIFA president Gianni Infantino, who was present at the event. "So it's really something. We'll soon be detailing the announcement, and if I can do I'll get over the...
