The launch date of this phone is still not disclosed, but this flagship phone is expected to be unveiled in Q4 2020. Nokia Anew has shared some details of this upcoming phone. So. let’s check those details.
According to the Nokia Anew, this upcoming flagship phone will be fairly compact and may have a slight chin, bezels will be symmetrical. The overall design of this upcoming phone will be following the rest of the announced devices. However, the phone is said to come with a round-shaped camera rear camera module surrounded by 4 cameras. The phone also has a LED flash on the backside.
Regarding the display of this phone, this phone may have a 5.99″ display which is the same as the Nokia 9 PureView, however, the phone had sizeable bezels, that have increased its footprint considerably. This upcoming phone could very well be one of the smaller premium phones of this year. But, we haven’t got any other information regarding the display.
Regarding the other specifications, the phone will come with an under-display fingerprint sensor. According to Nokia Anew, the smartphone prototypes were being developed in black, blue, green, and copper, but we are not confirmed that what gradient we will be seeing when the phone becomes ready for launch.
No other information on this phone is not known yet. But it is predicted that the phone will be surfaced soon. So, interested people have to wait for this flagship smartphone until the phone will launch.
The new rugby facility will be inaugurated today, Monday 21 September at the University of Benghazi and complies with international standards
The Rugby Federation of Libya under the presidency of Mustapha Hoty inaugurates today their first state-of-the-art rugby stadium at the University of Benghazi, home to 150,000 students of which 2,000 are studying sports. The modern facility complies with international standards and will facilitate training and the organisation of national as well as international competitions in Libya in the future.
The project has been a team effort of everyone involved, namely the Ministry of Youth and Sports and National Olympic Committee of Libya, and all the individual contributions. Managers, trainers, referees and officials have all invested their time and resources extensively to make the construction of the stadium possible.
Forgani Abdulkarem, General Secretary of Libya Rugby, welcomes the new stadium: “This is a historic landmark for Libya Rugby and the result of many years of hard work of everyone involved. Up to date our training and competitions had to take place on inappropriate grounds as we had no dedicated rugby field. I am proud to say that Libya has now the first rugby facility in line with international rules in terms of sizing and set up. Special thanks to the National Olympic Committee of Libya and everyone involved to have made this happen. We are excited to see the first match and are confident that this will only be the beginning of rugby in Libya. We hope to attract the young Libyans living in the region and develop many future talents here.”
Khaled Babbou, President of Rugby Africa sees the inauguration of the new facility as a very positive sign: “This is a shimmer of hope for normality in a country that is struck by tensions and armed conflicts. Rugby is a fantastic sport to keep fit, stay healthy and experience respect and fraternity in order to preserve the unity of Libyan sport and make it even more visible internationally. The new rugby ground in Libya will provide a bit of ‘normality’ in times of adversity. This infrastructure is a great win for Libya as well as Rugby Africa. The effort everyone involved has put in is truly impressive and the results are only possible thanks to great dedication and teamwork. I am convinced we will see many talented players in Libya in the years to come. Finally, I hope very soon to be able to visit this infrastructure and convey to President Mustapha Hoty in person all the admiration of Rugby Africa for its dedication to promoting Libyan rugby.”
Since 2017 Libyan rugby has been structured with the following objectives that were set and achieved:
Discovery of rugby for 5,000 students in primary schools
Recruitment and training of 500 players of different ages
Organization of a school championship over three editions
Organization of a regional competition for young players spread over six days
Organization of a federal competition for senior players
Participation of the national team in the past three editions of the Arab rugby championship
Organization of several training courses in Tunisia
Participation in three training courses delivered by Rugby Africa: for rugby 7s coaches in 2017, referees in 2018 and Get Into Rugby in 2018
It was only the second match of this year’s IPL and already so much drama happened which led to a super over and helped Delhi to be on the winning side. There were multiple heroic moments in that match. But it is T20. One over makes the difference between a win and a loss.
After winning the toss, Kings XI Punjab had elected to bowl first and they were quite good and lethal till the 15th over of the match. None of the openers or middle-order batsmen of Delhi could stand still except Marcus Stoinis. At the very first, DC had lost its three early wickets in the form of Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, and Shimron Hetmyer.
The poor communication between Shaw and Dhawan led to a runout and for the others, shot selection was below average. Mohammed Shami took some crucial wickets with his deadly pace and bagged his best IPL bowling figure 4-0-15-3. Young sensation Ravi Bishnoi also bowled those tight overs in between and managed to take 1 wicket.
Everything was running well for the Kings. But the destruction came from Marcus Stoinis. After the departure of Shreyas Iyer and Pant, it was the Aussie all-rounder who provided fans with some enthralling fireworks in the end. Stoinis made a quick 53 runs off just 21 balls which helped DC to pass the 150-run mark. The game still could be managed by Punjab, but in the 20th over, Chris Jordan went to ball and Marcus Stoinis just thrashed him by smoking 30 runs in that over.
Along with Ashok Dinda (being hit by Hardik Pandya for 30 runs in IPL 2017), Chris Jordan bowled the joint most expensive 20th over in IPL history. Stoinis started that over with a mighty six. The second delivery went for a wide. Then in the next four balls, he smoked three consecutive fours and a six and completed his half-century. But the drama had not ended. It was the last ball of the innings and Stoinis got out to complete the second run after the first. But eventually, it was a no-ball. So, Stoinis was out but Nortje still managed to gather three runs in the last ball.
In the second innings, Mayank Agarwal played really well for Punjab. But he could not wrap up the match which led to the super over. Kagiso Rabada went to ball the first over and took two back to back wickets of Punjab, by which Delhi has easily managed to win that thrilling match.
IPL 2020 has started and the Rajasthan Royals get a big blow as one of the most important players in the team Jos Buttler is going to miss his first match against Chennai Super Kings on Tuesday as he is serving a mandatory quarantine having arrived in the UAE with his family.
It is a hard truth, but regarding the current COVID-19 situation, safety is the first thing. Every player has to serve his mandatory quarantine period to be available in the match. But for Buttler, the situation is slightly different. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed to reduce the quarantine period to 36 hours as England and Australian players had travelled from one bio-secure bubble in the UK to another in the UAE. But Jos Buttler had travelled separately. That’s why he will have to undergo the six-day quarantine period.
In the recent T20I series against Australia, Jos Buttler served his nation for two matches and bagged 44 and 77 runs which helped England to seal the series. He is such an important player for RR. Let’s see from which match he will be available for his team.
Not only Jos Buttler but also Rajasthan Royals are very much worried about the most valuable all-rounder Ben Stokes. Because he hasn’t provided any update about joining his team in the IPL 2020. The English all-rounder Ben stokes missed the majority of English summer as he wanted to be with his family in New Zealand. Tomorrow is the first match of Rajasthan Royals and Ben Stokes is yet to join the team in UAE, which is not a good sign for the Royals.
Defending ISL champion ATK Mohun Bagan wants to retain its title again this season. To make this happen ATK has already started to strengthen their squad for this season.
Australian Midfielder Bradden Inman is set to join the ISL champions this season. Inman was playing for Brisbane Roar last season. The A-league side has confirmed the transfer details in the club’s social media handle.
Brisbane Roar & @atkmohunbaganfc have come to an agreement for the transfer of Bradden Inman for an undisclosed fee.
Inman started his career in Newcastle United Academy in England. He joined Brisbane Roar last season. He has played 25 games for the A-league side and scored 4 goals for them.
Inman has already said good-bye to his club. “I would like to say thank you to all the players and staff. It was a unique season – there were plenty of great moments as well as some tough ones, but we helped each other through it all and really enjoyed pulling on the orange kit every week”, he said to the club members. “To the fans – you were right behind us every week, even when you couldn’t be in the stadiums to cheer us on”, he added for the fans.
Inman is the 7th and last foreign recruitment for ATKMB this season. ATKMB has already signed David Williams, Roy Krishna, Carl McHugh, Edu Garcia, Javi Hernandez, and Tiri. His fellow Australian, David Williams along with Roy Krishna has also arrived from A-League last year.
ATKMB is going to play in AFC Cup this season. This is first continental appearance for the club. The club wants to continue its excellent performance in both tournaments.
Barcelona’s new manager, Ronald Koeman has decided to do away with the old guard at Barca. Despite joining the Spanish giants at the age of 30, that rank includes Chilean midfielder, Arturo Vidal.
He joined Barcelona from Bayern for £35 million in 2018. With his contract set to expire next summer, Barcelona are looking to make some money off of him rather than lose him for free next summer.
Inter is the club that has been heavily linked as Vidal’s next destination, and it could be a reality in the next few days.
If rumours are to be believed, the former Juventus man will return to Italy this week to complete his transfer to Milan.
Despite managing to offload one of their older players, Barcelona will only get €1 million from the transfer. While that is a lot of money to the rest of the world, in the context of European football, it is peanuts.
The miniscule nature of that figure becomes evident when you compare it with the sort of money splashed around in the transfer market.
Nevertheless, Vidal looks set to reunite with former manager Antonio Conte at Inter. The drama lies in the fact that the two former Juventus players will look to usurp the Old Lady’s almost decade long grip over the Scudetto, in the upcoming season.
Inter looked confident at the top before inconsistencies set in and Juventus capitalised on their rivals’ weaknesses. With the signing of Vidal, Conte will look to stabilise the midfield with the Chilean’s vast experience of the game at a high level.
Having previously played for the biggest teams in three different countries, Vidal is no stranger to pressure. With Pirlo’s inexperience at the helm of a club, Conte could pounce and shatter the hopes of Juventus trying to make it ten in a row.
Inter finished only one point behind Juventus last season, and the title race promises to be the most exciting one in all of Europe.

One of the most anticipated days of the tournament is upon us. Team India’s captain Virat Kohli will begin his campaign as Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad.
It will be interesting to see how a rejuvenated RCB will battle probably the most balanced team in the entire IPL. However, with Kohli, De Villiers, Finch, Warner, and Bairstow, expect fireworks!
Royal Challengers Bangalore
RCB got number 3 ranked T20 batsman Aaron Finch for a relatively low fee, which was probably one of the best buys of the IPL 2020 Auction. RCB, however, still faces the same problem which they’ve always had with their batting order. The only keeping options they have are of Parthiv Patel and Josh Phillipe. Phillipe might not make the team due to the restriction of four foreign players. Patel, on the other hand, is fruitful only when used at the top order.
This will have Patel opening with probably Finch and push Kohli and de Villiers down the order where they might not get many balls. They may have Kohli to open with Patel, de Villiers at 3. This will have Finch at 4 where he won’t be relatively effective as well.
Bowling has always been the sinking factor for RCB, especially their pace bowlers. However, the basic structure of their pace bowling is still the same.
(PC- Outlook India)
Sunrisers Hyderabad
The team will feature the destructive opening pair of David Warner and Johnny Bairstow. They will be followed by the equally destructive Kane Williamson and Manish Pandey. Sunrisers have always been known for their bowling department. The fast bowling, in particular, is completely stacked unchanged. The spin bowling may not seem stacked, however, it includes one of the best T20 bowlers in the world, Rashid Khan.
Fantasy XI team
VIRAT KOHLI (10.5) (C) – It will be very interesting to see a rejuvenated Virat Kohli. It’ll be safe to assign him as a captain keeping his consistency in mind.
JOHNNY BAIRSTOW (9.5) – Baistow is coming off an aggressive hundred against Australia. He has been in great touch throughout the entire season as well.
AARON FINCH (9.0) – Finch has been in sublime touch as well. Also, he is expected to stay long as Parthiv Patel goes berserk on the opposite end.
DAVID WARNER (10.5) – Warner has been in really good form and he’s an impact player who can change the course of the game.
MOEEN ALI (8.5) – Moeen Ali has been a breath of fresh air for RCB last season. He looked in decent form for England this season as well.
SHIVAM DUBEY (8 ) – Dubey may be a debatable pick. However, keeping his credits and slogging ability in mind, he can actually be a beneficial pick.
WASHINGTON SUNDAR (8) – Sundar has been a staple in powerplay overs. He takes wickets and is handy with the bat as well.
YUZVENDRA CHAHAL (9) – Chahal has developed into a phenomenal and intelligent limited over spinner.
NAVDEEP SAINI (8.5) – Saini has been a positive for RCB in both powerplay and death overs.
RASHID KHAN (9.5) (VC) – Rashid Khan will be extremely dangerous on UAE pitches. On top of that, he can bat and field as well. He, therefore, becomes my vice-captain as well.
BHUVANESHWAR KUMAR (9) – Bhuvaneshwar Kumar can pick up wickets both in powerplay and death overs. He will lead the Sunrisers bowling lineup.
Prediction
It is difficult to pick against SRH hence they will get the job done. Counting out RCB will be a huge mistake though, keeping in mind their improved team.
