CWC 2023: ‘Miyan Magic’ combined with Shami’s lethal spell powers India to semi-final after 302 run victory against SL

MUMBAI: Mohammed Shami took the lead to lead India to the World Cup semi-finals following a commanding 302 run victory at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday, mirroring the thrilling display of Mohammed Siraj in the Asia Cup final. The pace trio has been unbeatable since Shami entered the Indian playing XI, and the batsmen once again gave way to their skill. With the opening delivery, Bumrah sent Pathum Nissanka back for a golden duck, swerving sharply, finding an edge along the way, and hitting the pads just in front of the stumps. Nissanka attempted to use a review to reverse the outcome, but the umpires' call in favour of Bumrah ended Nissanka's night.'Miyaan Magic' enthralled the entire Sri Lankan team in the subsequent over. He sent Dimuth Karunaratne for a golden duck at his first ball in the evening. Karunaratne attempted to flick the ball, but failed miserably, and became trapped in front of the stumps. The next player to fall in the same over was Sadeera Samarawickrama. He attempted to punch the ball in an attempt to release some pressure, but instead he found a thick outside edge that went straight to Shreyas Iyer. On the opening delivery of his second over, he struck again, sending captain Kusal Mendis back for a score of 1(10), rattling his stumps.The umpire hit the famous "Siu" celebration of Cristiano Ronaldo as soon as his finger touched the air. In the flash of an eye, a few overs were over as Charith Asalanka and Angelo Mathew got to work on the repairs. But the middle order fell apart as Shami entered the attack. He removed two wickets in a row in his opening over of the evening, forcing Dushan Hemantha and Charith Asalanka to return to the dugout on opposite balls. With the goal of taking more wickets and ensuring that the Men in Blue won quickly, Shami continued to be an attacking player. KK India moved one step closer to the semi-final position thanks to Rahul's superb decision behind the stumps. It appeared as though Chameera had missed the shot when he attempted to flick the ball. Rahul was the only one to seek for a review after finishing the catch. The ball passed the gloves and the DRS displayed a spike because Rohit chose to believe Rahul's gut feeling. Umpire Chris Brown was even confused by the DRS outcome. By getting beyond Mathews' protection and cutting the stump bails, Shami grabbed his fourth victim of the evening and finished with a score of 12. With the manner that Shami was bowling, another wicket was probably not far off. After four overs, Kasun Rajitha fell for 14(17), ending Shami's chase for a wicket and earning him his second five-for of the 2017 World Cup.With a stunning 302 run victory at the end of the game, Ravindra Jadeja got the last wicket. Earlier in the innings, India amassed a score of 357/8 because to action-packed efforts from Virat Kohli (88), Shreyas Iyer (82) and Shubman Gill (92). Even though Dilshan Madhushanka took five wickets, the Indian squad was still able to score a huge amount of runs. Brief Score: Sri Lanka 55 (Kasun Rajitha 14; Mohammed Shami 5-18, Mohammed Siraj 3-16) against. India 357/8 (Shubman Gill 92, Virat Kohli 88, Dilshan Madushanka 5-80).

SC Reserves Verdict On Pleas Challenging Validity Of Electoral Bonds Scheme

NEW DELHI, Nov 2:  Regarding a number of petitions contesting the legality of the electoral bonds programme for financing political parties, the Supreme Court postponed making a decision on Thursday. On October 31, arguments on four petitions, including those submitted by Congressman Jaya Thakur, the Communist Party of India (Marxist), and the non-governmental Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR), were heard by a five-judge constitution bench that included Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices Sanjiv Khanna, B R Gavai, J B Pardiwala, and Manoj Misra.As part of initiatives to increase political finance transparency, the government announced the programme on January 2, 2018, and it was positioned as an alternative to financial contributions to political parties. Any Indian individual or organisation incorporated or founded in India may purchase electoral bonds in accordance with the scheme's terms. Election bonds may be purchased individually or in combination with other people. Electoral bonds can only be obtained by political parties that are registered under Section 29A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, and that have garnered at least 1% of the votes cast in the most recent election for the Lok Sabha or a state legislative Assembly.The announcement states that a political party that qualifies may only cash electoral bonds through an account with a bank that has been licenced. In April 2019, the Supreme Court rejected the Centre's request to halt the electoral bonds scheme and declared that it would give the pleas a thorough hearing because the Election Commission and the Centre had brought up "weighty issues" that had a "tremendous bearing on the sanctity of the electoral process in the country."

Shah Terms Cong ‘Cut, Commission, Corruption’ Party, Slams INDIA Bloc Constituents

KARNAL (Haryana), Nov 2: On Thursday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah attacked the Congress, branding it a party of "cut, commission, and corruption." He also denounced the opposition INDIA alliance, claiming that 27 parties have united to further their own agendas. He contrasted this with the BJP's efforts to promote the wellbeing of the populace.Speaking at the "Antyodaya Sammelan" event hosted by the Haryana government here, Shah commended the Manohar Lal Khattar administration for implementing the state's overall development. In the last nine years, he claimed, the BJP Government in Haryana has eradicated corruption and nepotism and strengthened law and order. The Union Minister urged people to support the BJP in the next general elections by enumerating the many programmes and initiatives of the Narendra Modi administration. Shah introduced five programmes for the "Antyodaya" families during the ceremony, where Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and other guests were present."I want to ask (Bhupinder) Hooda ji whether the development which took place in the last nine years (under BJP) is visible or if (your) eyes are still shut," he said, slamming Bhupinder Hooda, the leader of the Haryana Congress. Shah claimed that the Congress is incapable of advancing both the nation and Haryana. The Congress is a crooked, cut-and-commission party. The Union home minister said, "The party's hand (election symbol) is not with the people of Haryana." Shah referred to the opposition bloc as a "ghamandiya (arrogant)" alliance and claimed that all 27 members were "'parivarvadis' (dynasts)"."All 27 of the clothing items are 'parivarvadis'. Some must help their son adjust, some must appoint their son to the prime ministership, some must protect their son from agencies, and yet others must appoint their son to the position of chief minister. Some must become into devoted followers of Madam. Are these folks able to benefit the public in any way? stated Shah. Regarding the Ram Temple issue, he also took aim at the Congress. Shah claimed that the Congress delayed the construction of the Ram Temple and kept the matter unresolved for decades after Independence. According to the Union Home Minister, Prime Minister Narendra Modi set the temple's foundation. He said that the massive temple will host the consecration of Lord Ram Lalla's idol on January 22.
