Although the world of cricket features some electrifying rivalriesm, none matches the attention garnered by Pakistan vs India matches regardless of the format. With fans hoping to see the two arch-rivals take on each other other than international tournaments, former Pakistan skipper Wasim Akram has opened up on his favourites in a Test series if the two teams are to go up against each other in the longest format of the game. "Pakistan have a chance to beat India in Tests now on a spinning track. They have been hammered by New Zealand 3-0 at home," said Akram while expressing his views during the commentary of the first ODI between Pakistan and Australia on Monday. Akram's remarks came in response to former England cricketer Michael Vaughan's statement where he said that he believed that the Men in Green could triumph over the Indian side. "Pakistan can now beat India on the turners," said Vaughan. Remember, Pakistan, showcasing their spin prowess, ma

Mohammad Huraira has replaced Mohammad Haris as Pakistan Shaheens’ captain ahead of the team's two four-day and three 50-over matches against Sri Lanka ’A’, scheduled at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium from November 11 to 29. The shift in leadership came just days after the Haris-led Shaheens were knocked out of the ACC Men's T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2024 by Sri Lanka 'A' in the semi-finals. The Shaheens, who won the previous One-Day edition of the tournament in 2023 by defeating India 'A', had a lackluster campaign this year as they only managed to beat Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The team suffered defeats at the hand of arch-rivals India 'A' in the campaign opener and Sri Lnka 'A' in the semi-final. Shaheens' newly-appointed captain Huraira has scored 3,310 runs in 40 first-class matches with eight centuries and 14 half-centuries. In 25 List-A matches, the right-handed batter has accumulated 632 runs, striking a century

Left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc on Monday, added another feather to his cap as he completed 100 One-Day International (ODI) wickets in Australia. Starc achieved the milestone during the first ODI of the three-match series between Australia and Pakistan, underway here at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Opening the bowling for Australia, Starc was quick to make an impact as he dismissed debutant opener Saim Ayub in just the third over. From over the wicket, Starc bowled a slightly fuller delivery outside the off-stump, which angled in to breach Saim’s defence as he attempted to drive away from his body. The dismissal pushed Starc’s ODI wickets tally in Australia to hundred. As a result, Starc became only the fifth Australian to achieve the milestone, joining the likes of Brett Lee, Glenn McGrath, Shane Warne and Craig McDermott.

Australia beat Pakistan by two wickets in a nail-biting fixture in the first ODI at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Monday. Chasing a modest 204-run target set out by the Green Shirts, the Kangaroos had to fight their way against the Pakistani bowling unit to secure a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series. The hosts had a shaky start to the pursuit as their openers Jake Fraser-McGurk and Matthew Short perished inside four overs with just 28 runs on the board. But, a solid 85-run partnership between Steve Smith and Josh Inglis put Australia in a dominant position. However, despite Haris Rauf's three wickets and two that of Shaheen Afridi, Australian skipper Pat Cummins (32*) dug in to help his side across the line. via Original Source

Almost everyone knows that familiar, loathsome feeling of looking in the mirror one morning and finding a giant pimple on your face. But what if you awoke to find blemishes covering your chest, back, arms and bottom? Actually, body acne is more common than you may think -- it's just seldom talked about. But even if you don't want to talk about it, if you have body acne, you probably want to know how to get rid of it. Body acne is similar to facial acne in both its symptoms and its treatments, and people who have facial acne are more likely to develop body acne. Acne forms when pores or hair follicles become clogged with dead skin and oil. Therefore, it makes sense that acne can form wherever there are sebaceous glands -- the glands responsible for the production of sebum, or oil -- and hair follicles. Body acne is most commonly found on the back, chest, and neck, but blemishes can appear anywhere except the palms of your hands and soles of your feet. Body acne can be more c

Skipper Faheem Ashraf’s all-round brilliance powered Pakistan to beat Australia and qualify for the Hong Kong Super Sixes final, scheduled to be played later today here at Mission Road Ground. Put into bat first, Australia notched a commendable total of 107/1 in the allotted six overs. Opening batters Sam Heazlett and Jack Wood gave Australia a steady start by putting together a dominant 56-run partnership. The duo appeared to have settled down until Faheem breached Wood’s defence and cleaned him up in the fourth over. Wood struck four fours and two sixes on his way to a 17-ball 36. Coming out to bat at No.3, Dan Christian took no time to settle down and went after the Pakistan bowlers. He smashed a quickfire 42 off just 10 balls and remained the top-scorer for Australia, while skipper Heazlett remained unbeaten on a nine-ball 26. For Pakistan, skipper Faheem claimed the solitary wicket. Set to chase 108, Pakistan knocked the winning runs on the penultimate delivery when Fahee

Muhammad Akhlaq’s swashbuckling half-century, coupled with a disciplined bowling performance powered Pakistan to thump South Africa by 17 runs and qualify for the Hong Kong Super Sixes semi-finals here at Mission Road Ground on Saturday. Put into bat first, Pakistan accumulated a formidable total of 105/3 in the allotted six overs. The Green Shirts, however, had a contrasting start to their innings as their in-form batters Asif Ali and Faheem Ashraf perished for a golden duck in the first over with just eight runs on the board. But the back-to-back blows did not bother Pakistan much as Muhammad Akhlaq, during his partnership with Hussain Talat, launched an astounding recovery with belligerent hitting. The wicketkeeper batter smashed the Proteas bowlers for seven sixes and two fours and brought up his half-century in just 16 deliveries. Soon after amassing the milestone, Akhlaq retired out, putting Pakistan in a dominant position as they were 66/2 in four overs. All-rounder Aame

If you're looking for an excellent, cheap moisturizer, look no further than your medicine cabinet for a tub of petroleum jelly, known by its brand name Vaseline. Moisturizers are often categorized into three classes: occlusive, humectant, and reparative, according to dermatologist Hanan Taha, MD. Occlusive moisturizers include petrolatum aka "petroleum jelly," mineral oil, triglycerides, sunflower oil, soybean oil, jojoba oil, evening primrose oil and olive oil. Though occlusive moisturizers can ease dry skin, they're also somewhat greasy and not something you'd wear to work or out with friends, explains Dr. Taha. Instead, apply them at night so they have time to seep into your skin or during the wintertime when the air is especially dry. Humectants, like glycerin and lactic acid, draw water from lower levels of the skin to the surface, giving you a soft and supple complexion. They are also lighter and cosmetically more appealing, so they are ideal for summer
