  1. Indian Premier League, Hyderabad: Sunrisers Hyderabad 277-3 (20 overs): Klaasen 80* (34), Abhishek 63 (23), Head 62 (24) Mumbai Indians 246-5: Verma 64 (34), David 42* (22), Sunrisers Hyderabad won by 31 runs Scorecard. Group table. Sunrisers Hyderabad smashed 277-3 - the highest total in Indian Premier League history - in a record-breaking 31-run victory against Mumbai Indians. Opener Travis Head hit 62 from 24 balls, Abhishek Sharma a 23-ball 63 and Heinrich Klaasen 80 not out from 34. They took Sunrisers beyond the previous IPL record, Royal Challengers Bangalore's 263-5 in 2013. Mumbai made a decent fist of the chase, making the match the highest-scoring T20 in history, but ended on 246-5. Sunrisers' total was also the fourth highest in any men's T20 and the highest in a T20 franchise tournament. The men's T20 record is held by Nepal, who scored 314-3 against Mongolia last year. Afghanistan made 278-3 against Ireland in 2019 while the Czech Republic posted 278-4 against Hungary later that year. The previous record in a franchise tournament was Melbourne Stars' 273-2 against Hobart Hurricanes in the Australian Big Bash in 2022. Australia international Head was dropped on five and raced to a 18-ball fifty as he put on 68 in 23 balls with Abhishek, after the loss of Mayank Agarwal for 11. Abhishek then reached his fifty two balls quicker - thrashing three fours and seven sixes - before being dismissed at the end of the 11th over with the Sunrisers 161-3. The scoring slowed slightly as Klaasen joined Aiden Markram but the pair took 75 from the last five overs to end with an unbroken partnership of 116 from 55 balls. Markram ended on 42 not out from 28 balls. South African left-armer Kwena Maphaka, 17, conceded 66 in four wicketless overs on debut. There were 18 sixes and 19 fours in Sunrisers' innings and a T20 record 38 sixes in the match. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan took Mumbai to 50-0 in three overs before Kishan holed out for 34 and Rohit 26. FULL REPORT
  2. Fourth T20, Wellington England 177-3 (20 overs): Bouchier 91 (56) New Zealand 130-7 (20 overs): Dean 4-26 England won by 47 runs Scorecard England sealed a T20 series victory with a game to spare with a dominant 47-run win over New Zealand in Wellington. England's imposing 177-3 was set up by opener Maia Bouchier's stunning 91 from only 56 balls. In reply, spinner Charlie Dean took 4-26 as the hosts stumbled to 130-7 from their 20 overs. The White Ferns were left to rue a sloppy fielding performance, dropping Bouchier twice and missing a stumping. Captain Sophie Devine was unable to bat after sustaining a quad injury in the field, to further dent New Zealand's hopes of chasing the competitive total. But they should not have been chasing such a target after Izzy Gaze missed a regulation stumping with Bouchier on 31, Jess Kerr could not hold on in her follow-through when she was on 44 and substitute fielder Leigh Kasperek spilled a tough diving chance on 80. England were also gifted plenty of runs through New Zealand's substandard ground fielding, and punished their wilting bowlers for 65 runs from the last five overs. Bouchier's knock included 12 fours and two sixes, before captain Heather Knight's 21 from nine balls and Nat Sciver-Brunt's 29 from 14 balls added the late impetus from which New Zealand never recovered. The final T20 takes place at the same venue on Friday. FULL STORY

  10. It depends on your life-style. I wouldn't call a 20yr old a kid, and are the other two attending international schools? because thats not cheap. I would say its way more than most live on, but again it depends and there isnt enough info to go on.

  20. A technicality exploited I suggest. The coffee had no charge and was therefore "Free" the preparation and delivery of the coffee was charged which also incorporates the use of the facilities provided. Technically correct, but ethically, I would say a good way to alienate the customer base.
  21. What is this about ? what is your point please ?
