Hashim Amla
Legendary South African batter Hashim Amla predicted the semi-finalists for the upcoming ICC World Cup 2023 in India.

The former right-hander believes India, Pakistan, South Africa and England will make the final four in the mega event.

Earlier, former West Indies opener Chris Gayle also revealed his semi-finalists for the event.

The Universe Boss believes that Pakistan, India, England and New Zealand will qualify for the knockout stage.

The 43-year-old, during an interview, also said that since the India-Pakistan match is watched by the entire world due the rivalry between the two countries, players from both teams should demand a lot more money from the ICC.

"Whenever those teams [India and Pakistan] play, especially in a World Cup, the revenues they generate are humongous. One game can take care of the entire ICC event,” Gayle said.

The ICC World Cup 2023 will take place in India with 10 teams fighting for the elusive title across 10 venues from October 5 to November 19, with the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad hosting the tournament opener and the final.

"I had to delete the video because of my personal contacts in India

Then you might be wondering about the state of your own heart health. And men are no longer the primary candidates for heart attack and related high cholesterol. Women are now also just as much at risk of developing these stress-related killers. Environmental factors and changing lifestyles mean the example your parents set may no longer apply.

How to pick a good Watermelon?

Image
Watermelon is one of the delightful fruits we eagerly await each summer to enjoy its sweet and refreshing taste. It's suitable for everyone, even those following a special diet. However, the tough rind makes it a bit of a mystery, with opening it feeling like a gamble. Here's how to choose a ripe and sweet watermelon: – Examine Stripes – The outer colour of a watermelon can hint at its inner quality. Opt for a watermelon with dark green, well-defined stripes. The lighter stripes should be a pale yellow.
