Pakistan mark Sri Lanka return with Twenty20 win

Posted:

LAHORE (AFP) - Pakistan marked the return of Sri Lanka with a 3-0 Twenty20 series whitewash on Sunday, as officials hoped the match will help reestablish the countrys reputation for hosting international cricket.The third and final Twenty20 match, which Pakistan comfortably won by 36 runs at Gaddafi stadium in Lahore, was Sri Lankas first since their team bus was attacked near the same venue in March 2009.Those attacks, which left eight people dead and seven Sri Lanka players and their staff injured, suspended international cricket in Pakistan and forced them to play at neutral venues of United Arab Emirates (UAE).The first two matches, which Pakistan won by seven and two wickets respectively, were played in Abu Dhabi before Sri Lanka flew to Lahore in a 24-hour fly in, fly out arrangement.The match was the fourth international since the attack, with Zimbabwe playing a five-match limited over series in 2015 followed by the final of Pakistan Super League and a three-match Twenty20 series with the World XI comprising of players from seven countries -- both this year.Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Najam Sethi dubbed the match historic.This is historic because it marks the beginning of a new era of international cricket in Pakistan, said Sethi. This sends a big signal to the rest of the cricketing nations that Pakistan is ready to host international cricket.Sri Lanka Cricket President Thilanag Sumathipala vowed his board will not leave Pakistan in isolation.We are happy and privileged to be here to support Pakistan cricket, said Sumathipala. Its a wonderful cricketing nation. Pakistan has done so much for world cricket and to sports in general so we cannot leave them in isolation.However, a rampaging Pakistan side did not show any mercy to their opponents as they piled up 180-3 in their 20 overs.Shoaib Malik, the only player from both the sides to have also featured in the fateful 2009 Lahore Test, smashed a 24-ball 51 with five boundaries and two sixes.He added 75 for the third wicket with Babar Azam (34 not out) in just 45 balls. Openers Umar Amin (37-ball 45 with a six and three boundaries) and Fakhar Zaman (27-ball 31 with three fours) were the other contributors.Pace bowler Mohammad Amir, playing his first international match before the home crowd after making his debut soon after the terrorists attacks, finished with a career best 4-13 as Sri Lanka managed 144-9 in 20 overs.Only Dasun Shanaka batted with aggression during a 36-ball 54 with five boundaries and three sixes before he became one of Faheem Ashrafs two wickets.This becomes Pakistans second 3-0 whitewash in a Twenty20 series, having previously beaten the West Indies in UAE last year.Thousands of fans filled Gaddafi Stadium under intense security, as the countries respective national anthems were played before a capacity 23,000 crowd.The city was adorned with pictures of the Sri Lankan cricketers as fans converged on the stadium hours before the start of the match.Fans applauded both the teams before the start of the match and beat drums in an exhilarating atmosphere.Sethi hoped Sri Lankas return will be followed by a three-match Twenty20 series with the world champions, West Indies, next month, which is due to be finalised in the next few days.Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed thanked the Sri Lankan team and the crowd.I thank Sri Lankan team for coming to Pakistan as it was a great gesture, said Ahmed. It was lovely to play before home crowds and win.Sri Lankan skipper Thisara Perera said his players were honoured.We want to thanks the Pakistan fans for inviting us, said Perera. We love you and it was an honour to lead this young side.

Masakadza ton leads Zimbabwe recovery

Posted:

BULAWAYO (AFP) - Hamilton Masakadzas fifth Test century helped Zimbabwe recover from a horror start to the second Test against the West Indies on Sunday and end a rain-hit first day on 169 for four.Just 61 overs were possible as rain wiped out most of the final session, but that was still enough time for Masakadza to register an unbeaten 101 and drag Zimbabwe out of a hole.The home side slumped to 14 for three after winning the toss and electing to bat first, as fast bowlers Kemar Roach and Shannon Gabriel struck with the new ball.In cloudy conditions it took Roach just two overs to make the first breakthrough as he had Solomon Mire caught behind, and Craig Ervine and Brendan Taylor soon followed when they were bowled by Gabriel and Roach respectively.Those early setbacks meant that Peter Moor, who was only picked at the last minute when allrounder Sean Williams withdrew because of illness, walked out to bat in challenging conditions.But he duly dug in for a 142-run stand for the fourth wicket with Masakadza, putting Zimbabwe back in a match that they must win to earn a share of the series.I actually had quite a bit of fun batting with Peter today, because he brought a lot of energy and he was very positive. I fed quite a bit off that, said Masakadza.The opener was fortunate to survive in the 11th over of the day, when he was caught at gully off Gabriel before replays revealed a no-ball. Masakadza was on 15 at the time.While Moor reached a patient half-century moments after tea, he was then bowled by offspinner Roston Chase to give the West Indies a welcome breakthrough.Masakadza went to three figures soon after, reaching his fifth Test century more than 16 years after recording his first one on debut against the same opponents.He had a bit of luck with the no-ball, but hes certainly played well. He hits the ball well and on wickets like these hes tough to contain as well, said West Indies coach Stuart Law.

Miller hits fastest T20 century as South Africa rout Bangladesh

Posted:

POTCHEFSTROOM (AFP) - David Miller smashed the fastest century in Twenty20 international cricket as South Africa outclassed Bangladesh by 83 runs in the second and final Twenty20 international at Senwes Park on Sunday.Millers 35-ball hundred propelled South Africa to 224 for four before Bangladesh were bowled out for 141, completing a clean-sweep for South Africa in two Tests, three one-day internationals and two T20 internationals.It was an extraordinary innings by Miller.Dropped on nought, he admitted: I felt pretty scratchy to be honest. In the first ten balls I could have been out twice.He had only scored 18 runs off 14 balls, then came an assault which yielded 82 runs off 21 balls to get to his century.Once I hit one or two I decided to keep going, he said.The previous fastest T20 international century was made off 45 balls by fellow South African Richard Levi against New Zealand in Hamilton in 2011/12.Five of Millers nine sixes came off the first five balls of the 19th over, bowled by promising all-rounder Mohammad Saifuddin, who had dismissed AB de Villiers and Hashim Amla and conceded only 22 runs in his first three overs.Miller said he felt the rare feat of six sixes in an over was possible.I got to the fourth one and thought I might as well go for it. The fifth one came out nicely.Saifuddin pushed the last ball of his over wide of the off stump and Miller mistimed it for a single.Looking back I probably could have hit six off six, said Miller.The left-handers innings could have ended off the second ball he faced as he gloved an attempted pull off Rubel Hossain.Bangladesh wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim dived to his right and appeared to have caught the ball but lost control as he landed on the ground.Miller shared a 79-run fourth wicket partnership off 41 balls with Hashim Amla, who made 85 off 51 balls with 11 fours and a six.Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan admitted it had been a poor tour for his team.Today was a reflection of the series. We need to learn a lot from this. We have been terrific for the last two years at home but now it is time to get better overseas.Bangladesh made a good start, restricting South Africa to 37 for two in the first five overs.Shakib opened the bowling and sent down all his four overs in one spell, taking two for 22. But his teammates could not sustain the pressure in the face of Millers onslaught.Bangladesh scored 17 runs off the first over, bowled by Beuran Hendricks. But Imrul Kayes was run out in the second over and the tourists never threatened again.Miller was only the fourth South African to hit a century in 100 T20 internationals.

India prevail in thriller, clinch ODI series 2-1

Posted:

KANPUR (AFP) - Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah helped India pull off a thrilling six-run win over New Zealand in the third and final one-day international and clinch the series 2-1 on Sunday.Bumrah claimed three wickets and effected a crucial run out of dangerman Tom Latham in the 48th over to make the visitors falter in their 338-run chase at Kanpurs Green Park Stadium.The Kiwis, who looked like favourites with 35 runs required from the last 24 balls, ended on 331-7 despite Lathams 52-ball 65.Earlier sparkling centuries by opening batsman Rohit Sharma and skipper Virat Kohli steered India to 337-6 after being put in to bat.Sharma, who smashed 147 off 138 balls, and Kohli, who made 113, became the first pair in ODIs to record four double-century stands between them after putting together 230 runs for the second wicket.But it was the superb death bowling show by Bumrah that stood out in the big-scoring game. Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal also chipped in with two crucial wickets.Kiwi opener Colin Munro hit a quickfire 75 to give the visitors a blazing start despite losing his partner Martin Guptill for 10 to Bumrah.Munro put together a crucial 109-run partnership for the second wicket with skipper Kane Williamson, who made 64, as the pair took the attack to the opposition bowlers.The left-handed Munro, who smashed 8 fours and 3 sixes in his 62-ball knock, took a special liking to Indian pace spearhead Bhuvneshwar Kumar, whose first five overs cost 51 runs.Chahal soon spun into action to send Munro and Williamson trudging back to the pavilion as New Zealand stumbled in their chase.It was then that the left-handed Latham got down to the grind, forming crucial partnerships with Ross Taylor and Henry Nicholls and take the attack to the opposition.Kumar bowled Nicholls for 37 and Bumrah soon took over to dash New Zealands hopes of winning their first series on Indian soil.The action now shifts to the three Twenty20 internationals starting November 1 in New Delhi.

Iceland PM hit by Panama Leaks wins snap election

Posted:

REYKJAVIK (AFP) - Icelands conservative prime minister came out on top in a snap election despite a string of scandals, final results confirmed Sunday, but it remained unclear whether he will be able to form a viable coalition.PM Bjarni Benediktsson, 47, was accused named last year in the Panama Papers worldwide tax-evasion leaks. He has also been accused of wrongdoing during Icelands financial collapse in 2008.His Independence Party, however, beat its rivals in Saturdays election, according to final results published on Sunday, although no party came near to winning a majority in parliament.The Independence Party won 16 seats in the 63-seat parliament. Turnout was 81 percent.It could now take days, weeks or even months before Iceland has a new government in place as thorny coalition negotiations await.PM optimisticBenediktssons challenge comes from the Left Green Movement and its potential allies, the Social Democratic Alliance and the anti-establishment Pirate Party.The Left-Green Movement came in second with 11 seats, the Social Democratic Alliance with seven seats, and the Pirates with six seats.A total of eight parties won seats in parliament.Icelands President Gudni Johannesson has invited the leader of each of those parties to his residence on Monday. After meeting them individually, he will decide who gets the first mandate to try to assemble a government.Under the Icelandic system, the president, who holds a largely ceremonial role, usually tasks the leader of the biggest party with putting a government together.I am optimistic that we can form a government, Benediktsson told AFP after the polls closed on Saturday.The Independence Party lost five seats in parliament, according to Sundays results, but still came out on top -- apparently helped by Icelands thriving economy, fuelled by a flourishing tourism sector.Long talks aheadThe party has been involved in almost every government in Iceland since 1980.But growing public distrust of the elite has spawned several anti-establishment parties.These have splintered the political landscape and made it increasingly difficult to form a stable government.Benediktssons main rival, the Left-Green Movement won fewer votes than expected.It will need at least five allies to form a 32-seat majority to dethrone the conservatives.If it manages to do so, it would form only the second left-leaning government in Iceland since the countrys proclamation as a republic in 1944.Im worried that we may have to face up to the likelihood of long, drawn-out discussions and attempts to form a government, Arnar Thor Jonsson, a law professor at Reykjavik University, told AFP.Negotiations to form a coalition after the October 2016 election took three months.Some voters are tired. It was Icelands fourth election since 2008 and the second in a year.I hope we will have more stable politics now... but Im rather pessimistic about it, Einar Orn Thorlacius, a lawyer in Reykjavik, told AFP.Financial scandalsBenediktsson called Saturdays election after a junior member of his centre-right coalition pulled out over accusations that the prime minister had covered up his fathers recommendation letter for a convicted paedophile to help restore his honour.Benediktsson is a former lawyer and businessman whose family is one of the richest and most influential in Iceland.He has been implicated in several financial scandals and was mentioned in the Panama Papers -- leaked documents that exposed offshore tax havens.That scandal forced the resignation of then prime minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson.Gunnlaugsson made a come-back to lead one of the new parties that ran in Saturdays election.Analysts said the strongest possible government would be a three-party coalition comprising the two biggest parties, the Independence and the Left-Greens -- but their clashing ideologies make such a collaboration unlikely.Left-Green leader Katrin Jakobsdottir, 41, told AFP on election night she was keeping all options open.We have eight parties in parliament and right now there doesnt seem to be any obvious majority. All parties are open for discussion, she said.Her campaign promises included investing in social infrastructure and ensuring that Icelands economic prosperity reaches the health care and education sectors.

I hope to be in such shape when Im his age. But I doubt I will be.Federer now stands 49-4 overall this season. He will make a late decision whether to play the Paris Masters next week, depending on his fitness.The pair traded breaks in the opening two games, with an epic first set finally finding its way to a tie-break.Federer took a 3-0 lead but had no answer as del Potro won six straight points.The top seed saved two set points but went down on the third.The world number two battled hard in the second set, breaking in the final game to level the match as del Potro returned long.Federer broke for 3-1 in the decider and five games later put a forehand winner into the corner to bring up three match points.Del Potro saved the first but returned long as Federer wrapped up victory after two and a half hours of play.Roger was there playing high-level tennis for two and a half hours, said del Potro. He was better in key moments and he won.He returned well and broke me playing good tennis. I have little things to improve and I can learn from this match.Physically I was 100 percent today, I was close to winning, my body did not affect me in the final. I was running for all three sets and I fought until the last point.

But towards the back end it came out quite sweet.The left-handers innings could have ended off the second ball he faced as he gloved an attempted pull off Rubel Hossain. Bangladesh wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim dived to his right and appeared to have caught the ball but lost control as he landed on the ground.Miller shared a 79-run fourth wicket partnership off 41 balls with Hashim Amla, who made 85 off 51 balls with 11 fours and a six.Bangladesh, seeking to end a poor tour on a high note, made a good start, restricting South Africa to 37 for two in the first five overs.

At least five dead as storm hits central Europe

PRAGUE (AFP) - At least five people died in a windstorm that hit central Europe on Sunday, causing widespread power outages and traffic disruptions.In the Czech Republic, falling trees killed a woman in a forest near the central city of Trebic and an elderly man on the street in Jicin northeast of Prague.In Poland, a driver died in his car after crashing into a fallen branch on the road near the northwestern city of Szczecin, and another was killed when a branch hit his car in the western city of Opole, firefighters said.In Germany, a 63-year-old man sleeping in a van at a camping site on Jade Bay in the north of the country drowned when he tried to escape flash floods on foot, police said. His brother, 59, survived by holding fast to a pole.The strong winds halted traffic on dozens of railways and several roads across the Czech Republic.The Czech Hydrometeorological Institute said it had registered the fastest gust of wind on Snezka, the Czech Republics highest mountain, with a top speed of 180 kilometres (112.5 miles) an hour.In the north of the country, some rivers reached the highest flood-alert levels, and the wind also toppled a wooden Orthodox church in the city of Most.At present, hundreds of thousands of households are left without power, Sona Holingerova Hendrychova, spokeswoman for the state-run power producer CEZ, said in a statement.About 200,000 people were also grappling with power outages in western Poland.In the northern Polish city of Gdansk, authorities decided to close cemeteries because of falling branches as crowds went to pay homage with All Saints Day approaching on November 1.In Germany, the storms caused flooding in Hamburg, where waters rose up around the citys historic fish market and in the HafenCity and Blankenese districts.Train travel was disrupted in much of the north of the country as German rail company Deutsche Bahn said it had suspended key routes, dispatching crews to remove storm debris from tracks and repair damaged lines.It said in a statement that routes connecting cities including Berlin, Hamburg and Hanover were likely only to return to normal on Monday.Earlier this month a fierce storm raged through northern and eastern Germany killing seven people.In Austria, the organisers cancelled the mens World Cup season-opening giant slalom at Solden scheduled for Sunday.

White House opposed vote on Israel 'annexation' bill: US official

Posted:

JERUSALEM (AFP) - US President Donald Trumps administration opposed a planned vote on a controversial Israeli bill that critics say would amount to de facto annexation of Jewish settlements surrounding Jerusalem, a US official said Sunday.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu postponed a vote on the bill by a ministerial committee that was scheduled to take place on Sunday, with an Israeli official saying diplomatic preparation was needed.It was a signal that Netanyahu was under pressure not to move forward from the White House, which has been seeking ways to restart long-stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.I think its fair to say that the US is discouraging actions that it believes will unduly distract the principals from focusing on the advancement of peace negotiations, a US official said on condition of anonymity.The Jerusalem expansion bill was considered by the administration to be one of those actions.The bill would absorb major Israeli settlements currently in the occupied West Bank into Jerusalem by enlarging the city limits.Its opponents argue that it is a step towards full unilateral annexation of the West Bank settlements affected -- a move that would be sure to spark international outrage.For the vast majority of the international community, the status of Israels settlements, built on land the Palestinians see as part of their future state, is to be decided in peace negotiations.The bill has drawn harsh criticism from Palestinians and those hoping to salvage the two-state solution.Settlements affected are Maale Adumim, Beitar Illit, Efrat, Givat Zeev, and the Gush Etzion settlement bloc.Intelligence and Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz, who has pushed for the bill, says it would add an additional 150,000 people to Jerusalems population, strengthening its Jewish majority.Israel occupied the West Bank, including east Jerusalem, in the Six-Day War of 1967. It later annexed east Jerusalem in a move never recognised by the international community.It sees the entire city as its indivisible capital, while the Palestinians want the eastern sector as the capital of their future state.Barack Obamas administrations was heavily critical of Israeli settlement activity, but Trump has been far less vocal on the issue.His ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, is himself a supporter of Israeli settlements.
