The semi-final of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 between India and Australia took place on 23rd February at Newlands, Cape Town. With India playing without Pooja Vastrakar, who was replaced by Sneh Rana, Harmanpreet Kaur took the lead to face the strong Australian team.

The Australian women’s team has been in great form, having won all their matches leading up to the semi-final. India, on the other hand, had a tough journey, having lost their first match but winning the rest to reach the semi-finals.

The match started with Australia winning the toss and choosing to bat first. Beth Mooney, who has been in excellent form throughout the tournament, and Meg Lanning were the stars for the Australian team. Mooney smashed 54 runs off 37 balls, while Lanning remained unbeaten with 49 runs off 34 balls. As a result, the Australian team posted a massive total of 172/4 in 20 overs.

India vs Australia : India’s chase got off to a poor start, losing Smriti Mandhana early in the innings. However, Jemimah Rodrigues and Harmanpreet Kaur led a counter-attack, with Harmanpreet playing a captain’s knock of 52 runs off 40 balls. Despite the efforts of the Indian team, the target proved to be too high as Australia’s Darcie Brown and Ashleigh Gardner picked up two wickets each, limiting India to 167/8 in 20 overs.

The final result of the match was Australia winning by five runs.

Here’s a look at the highlights and analysis of the match : India vs Australia Women’s T20 World Cup Semi-final Match

  1. Australia sets a formidable total Winning the toss and electing to bat first, Australia got off to a solid start with openers Alyssa Healy and Beth Mooney putting on a 55-run partnership. Mooney, in particular, was in fine form, scoring a quick-fire half-century off just 37 balls. Captain Meg Lanning then took charge and played a captain’s knock, remaining unbeaten on 49 off 34 balls. In the end, Australia posted a formidable total of 172/4 in their 20 overs.
  2. Harmanpreet’s knock goes in vain Chasing a challenging target, India got off to a poor start, losing opener Shafali Verma in the very first over. Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues tried to rebuild the innings, but both fell in quick succession. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur then took charge and played a captain’s knock, scoring a quick-fire half-century off just 34 balls. However, her efforts went in vain as India fell short by five runs.
  3. Darcie Brown and Ashleigh Gardner star with the ball Australia’s bowlers were excellent in defending their total, with Darcie Brown and Ashleigh Gardner being the pick of the bowlers. Brown, in particular, was outstanding, taking two wickets in her very first over. Gardner, on the other hand, picked up two crucial wickets towards the end of the innings, ensuring that Australia held on for a narrow win.
  4. India’s poor fielding costs them India’s poor fielding proved to be costly, with several catches being dropped and misfields giving away crucial runs. It was a disappointing performance from a team that had been so impressive in the tournament up until this point.
  5. Australia through to the final With this win, Australia have reached their seventh straight Women’s T20 World Cup final, and they will be looking to win their fifth title. They will face either England or South Africa in the final, which promises to be an exciting encounter.

India vs Australia : It was a closely fought encounter between two of the best teams in women’s cricket. Australia held their nerve and secured a narrow win, thanks to some excellent batting and bowling performances. India, on the other hand, will be disappointed with their performance, particularly in the field. They will now have to regroup and come back stronger in the next tournament.

NorthEast United FC, in seventh place, has a solid defense and has shown the ability to play attractive football. However, their lack of cutting edge in front of goal has been their downfall, and they will need to find a way to score more goals if they are to make it to the playoffs.

Odisha FC, in eighth place, has struggled throughout the season and has been plagued by defensive issues. However, with the likes of Marcelinho and Diego Mauricio in their ranks, they have the ability to cause upsets and spoil the party for the other teams.

The remaining six teams in the ISL 2022-23 playoffs race are all capable of making it to the semi-finals, and we can expect some exciting and unpredictable football in the coming weeks!

Microsoft Edge is desperately trying to keep you to its self

0

Microsoft Edge is the default browser on Windows 10 and 11 machines, and the Redmond, WA tech behemoth desperately wants users to refrain from downloading and switching their default browsers to Google Chrome. So much so, according to Neowin, that Microsoft’s tactics are becoming more aggressive.

When attempting to download Chrome while using the default Microsoft Edge browser, users are greeted with two ad banners.

Microsoft

The first banner is small, like a small reminder that Edge uses the same technology as Chrome, and then it says you get “added trust from Microsoft”. Google does some of the same thing by displaying banners that recommend using Google Chrome, but they’re a little more passive-aggressive about it, attempting to make you feel empowered by using Google.

When you first installed Google Chrome, you simply selected Chrome as your default browser, and that was it; you could go about your business. Microsoft, on the other hand, has added steps that force you to select the instances that Chrome will handle individually.

Microsoft

If you receive an email containing a PDF file and click on it without making Chrome your default browser for this action, the Edge browser will open and reveal the PDF for you rather than simply opening it in Chrome. So you must now go into settings and select which browsers will open PDFs, SVGs, and so on.

Apple reportedly planning to increase the RAM of its upcoming iPhone 15 Series

According to a recent report, the upcoming iPhone 15 series will receive a RAM upgrade across the board. According to TrendForce via MacRumors, Apple intends to increase the capacity and specifications of DRAM, which could potentially improve performance for Apple’s next flagship.

While its not mentioned in detail, but the Pro models will be upgraded to 8GB of RAM, a modest increase from the current 6GB. This could result in improved performance for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. It’s also possible that the capacity of the regular iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models will not be increased.

In addition to capacity increases, its reported that Apple may be considering introducing LPDDR5 RAM, a faster specification than the iPhone 14’s LPDDR4X. Because the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max currently use LPDDR5, this change could bring non-Pro models’ performance closer to that of the Pro models.

The combination of more RAM and the upcoming A17 Bionic chipset could cement Apple’s lead in compute performance. This would be the first RAM upgrade since the iPhone 12 Pro debuted with a 6GB capacity.

Exclusive renders of the device have surfaced, providing insight into what to expect from Apple’s upcoming flagship phone. The edges of the phone have been redesigned to create a more seamless transition to the frame, promising a more comfortable grip and reducing the possibility of accidental touches.

Apple is also ditching its proprietary connector, the Lightning port, in favour of the more widely used USB-C. This modification is in response to the European Union’s push for a universal charging standard for all smartphones and devices. The iPhone 15 Pro will be even more versatile and compatible with a wider range of accessories thanks to the new USB-C port.

Sergio Ramos officially retires from Spain national team after 180 caps

0

Sergio Ramos has officially announced his retirement from the Spanish national team after a call with new head coach Luis de la Fuente. 

He last played for Spain in 2021, and was left out of the squad for the World Cup by Luis Enrique. And Ramos has now revealed that there are no plans for him to be called up regardless of how well he plays. He has confirmed the decision in a social media post, bidding goodbye to an illustrious career with La Roja. 

Sergio Ramos retires from Spain national team 

“The time has come, the time to say goodbye to the National Team, our beloved and exciting Red. This morning I received the call from the current coach who told me that he doesn’t count and that he won’t count on me, regardless of the level I can show or how I continue my sporting career,” he posted on social media.

“Humbly, I think that (my) career deserved to end because of a personal decision or because my performance was not up to what our National Team deserves, but not because of age or other reasons that, without having heard them, I have felt. Because being young or less young is not a virtue or a defect, it is only a temporary trait that is not necessarily related to performance or ability. I look with admiration and envy at Modric, Messi, Pepe… the essence, tradition, values, meritocracy and justice in football,” Sergio Ramos added in his retirement message.

“Unfortunately it won’t be like that for me, because football is not always fair and football is never just football. Through it all I take it with this sadness that I want to share with you, but also with my head very high and very grateful for all these years and for all your support.

“I take back indelible memories, all the titles we have fought and celebrated all together and the tremendous pride of being the Spanish player with the most caps. This shield, this shirt and this fan, all of you have made me happy.

https://twitter.com/_Wangster/status/1628827749363159045?s=20

“I will continue to cheer on my country from home with the thrill of the privileged who has been able to proudly represent it 180 times. Heartfelt thanks to everyone who always believed in me!”

Sergio Ramos won the 2010 World Cup, as well as the 2008 and 2012 Euros with Spain. He made his debut as a teenager in 2005, and after going on to become the captain of the national team over a 16-year long career, he has now called it quits.

Usefulness Of Customer Support at Best Gambling Sites

0

Many gamers sign up for gambling sites without giving the customer assistance offered any thought. A trustworthy gambling site must provide excellent customer service; thus, this should be different! However, this is important for a variety of reasons. You will understand how crucial and valuable it is to have a support crew when something in your account is not functioning properly.

You may get assistance at this point of contact to solve any issues you encounter. The difficulties you can experience when playing at a reputable gambling site ought to be modest. The high degree of security provided to safeguard the players is the reason behind this. However, issues might always arise.

You can contact the support staff and receive a prompt resolution, mainly when your money is on the line at an accessible gambling site. Several best gambling sites have chosen to offer their help through a qualified and committed customer care crew accessible round-the-clock via various contact forms. A high standard of customer service demonstrates that the gambling site values its patrons.

The gamers will naturally feel more confident and trust the organization as a result of this. One may feel secure knowing the experienced crew can handle any player’s problems. A high degree of client satisfaction will emerge from this, and outstanding referrals and comments will follow. Customer service is advantageous for both the gambling site and the players. However, this is true since the gambling site will pay attention to the player’s problems and worries.

They will feel more confident that the gambling site can remedy the issue quickly. Additionally, when a player is pleased with the end of the circumstance and the service received, this will always result in positive evaluations and the chance to attract new players. In this article, we’ll go into more depth regarding the value that excellent customer service provides to the best gambling sites.

Importance Of Customer Support

Return Of Money

The inability to withdraw money from online gambling sites is one of the most prevalent issues. However, the topic is not casino fraud. Typically, there are issues with certain payment methods or the subtleties of withdrawing bonus money. Players may only seek support from the gambling site help desk in such circumstances. Experts can advise the optimal withdrawal method for each nation, how long you should wait, and which currency is best to withdraw money in. Technical assistance occasionally assists with money withdrawals from lost accounts with forgotten passwords.

Inquiries On Bonuses

Today, any player can quickly locate gambling bonus deals that can help them play more effectively, even without making a significant commitment. Additionally, most gambling websites offer players “no deposit bonuses.” However, not all gamers know the additional opportunities or how to use them well. You will always find the right incentive program, and a helpful customer service representative will explain its complexities. For instance, many promotional incentives entail wagering needs. If the player is aware of them, it will be easier for him to withdraw with the assistance of the gambling site staff.

Dispute Resolution

Of course, there are several hazards involved with gambling with money. Everyone is aware that winning is only sometimes achievable. But occasionally, glitches with the gambling website’s technology might result in losses. For instance, overloaded servers may cause game freezes and transaction cancellations. Players begin looking for help contacts since only website representatives can address the issue. The availability of phone, mail, and online chat for customer care at the gambling site must thus always be verified.

Choosing Games

Hundreds and thousands of different games are available on modern gambling sites. Numerous slot machines, poker, blackjack, roulette, live dealers, and other well-known games are included. But how can you select a game? You may send this inquiry to qualified support staff with confidence. They’ll be able to tell which game is best for the gamer. Experts analyze the variables of each game, the chance of winning, and any extra offers used in certain circumstances. Users seldom ask questions regarding games, but when they do, they might save hours or even days.

Importance Of Having a Good Support

Competitive Offering

The fact that everyone else is assisting is another crucial justification. Losing business may be the outcome of this differentiating feature if your rivals offer this service while you are not. Continuous observation is a terrific technique to remain current on market developments and rivals.

Timely Communication

When a player is in trouble, this implies much more; thus, these instances are crucial to the entire user experience. Financial issues will undoubtedly require prompt attention. There is a chance of hearing a critical comment if the issue needs to be swiftly rectified. However, this may win a gamer over or turn them off.

Brings Good Business

Prospective players rely on reviews and recommendations when selecting a new gambling site to try their luck. The gambling site that offers practical customer assistance receives the most favorable reviews. Some review websites will also rank their best gambling site based on their availability of support staff and the variety of contact methods they offer. Therefore, by providing practical help, you will get free advertising.

Maximize Customer Base

Accommodating many time zones is one advantage of running an internet business. Therefore, it is crucial to have multilingual support staff available around the clock to ensure all queries are addressed. A gambling site’s player base will be enhanced if it can connect with gamers worldwide.

Conclusion

Customer service personnel mainly aim to ensure that consumers are satisfied with all gaming services. At any time during a player’s journey across the online gambling platform, assistants are responsible for all technological operations, software malfunctions, and defects. Problem-solving departments like these are always available. They must act without delay. Operators must allow any mistakes to occur, whether they occur during gameplay or payment transfers. 

Most gambling sites include customer service divisions; however, the quality of their work occasionally varies. Because of this, gamers should always consider the availability of professional support while choosing the best venue for gambling.

Galaxy S23 SeriesImproved User Experience

User experience is critical in today’s digital world, where users anticipate a highly intuitive experience. The Galaxy to Share app has been developed to allow users to share all customizations and own personalization settings across Galaxy devices in India. Similarly, the multi-timer feature enables the user to simultaneously have multiple timers, all at the same time, for different activities and tasks.

The Bedtime Alarm feature is also more robust, allowing users to customize alarm timings day-wise. To enhance communication, the Direct Dial 4X1 widget has been added to the S23 Home Screen for easy accessibility of priority contacts and dialling them with a single touch. SRI-N developed these apps and features to provide the most seamless and intuitive experience to customers while providing a wide scope for customization.

Galaxy S23 Series – Health feature development & Performance Improvement

With domain expertise in health and wearables, SRI-N engineers have been focused on enhancing health features in the Flagship devices. The Galaxy S23 series is equipped with a new Sleep tracker widget on the home screen, which enables users to track their sleeping patterns and sleep score very easily.

Similarly, the Water tracker feature allows users to set their own day-wise water intake targets and sends reminders at custom scheduled timings. SRI-N engineers also contributed towards the improvements in the Samsung Health trackers like Water, Body composition, Cycle tracking, and Heart rate. Such features have been developed, keeping in mind the preference of Gen Z and millennials who like to balance their physical health, fitness, and mindfulness; all together and seamlessly.

Galaxy S23 SeriesUser Safety

As technology advances, more personal information is required to offer a better user experience and keep users safe. In order to provide the best experience, engineers at SRI-N have developed the Emergency SOS and Emergency Sharing feature to enable users to send help messages with their own location information and video recording during an emergency, all through a simple action of pressing the power button 3 times. The action initiates the emergency call, which is then followed by the emergency message.

Our consumers are increasingly driven by the productivity, quality, and authenticity of any product. And as an R&D center, SRI-N passionately drives creativity, innovation, and excellence in day-to-day work to pioneer technology transformations that not just appeal to new-age customers but also pave the way for future technology.
