The Pakistan women’s cricket team made history in Dunedin by securing their maiden series victory against the New Zealand women’s team. Before December 2023, New Zealand had a perfect 8-0 record against Pakistan in T20Is, but two consecutive wins reversed the trend for the Pakistani team.

In the first game at the same venue, the Girls in Green triumphed by 7 wickets. Following that success, they secured a 10-run victory in the second game, claiming a decisive 2-0 lead in the series.

Pakistan restricted the hosts to 127/7 after posting 137/6 themselves. Aalia Riaz contributed 32 runs off 22 deliveries, hitting one shot beyond the boundary and three boundaries, while opener Muneeba Ali scored 35.

Despite New Zealand being at 89/6 due to disciplined Pakistani bowling, Georgia Pimmer and Hamma Rowe staged a fightback. However, falling short by 10 runs, they couldn’t overturn the game, as Fatima Sana defended 17 runs in the last over.

Fatima Sana took 3 wickets, with Sadia Iqbal dismissing 2 players during the match.

Pakistan’s fast bowler, Haris Rauf, recently during a break from national duty, was seen playing street cricket with local children during his leisure time.

Accompanied by his newly-wedded wife Muzna Masood Malik, Rauf ventured into the mountains of Pakistan, dressed in an all-black ensemble, and stumbled upon a group of youngsters playing a cricket match in a serene spot amidst the mountains.

Unable to resist the allure, he enthusiastically joined them, turning the unexpected encounter into a delightful spectacle for both the kids and onlookers. Adding to the excitement, his wife, also participated, showcasing her bowling skills to the delight of the spectators and online fans.

Capturing the heartwarming moments, Haris Rauf later took to his official X account, sharing a touching video of the cricket match.

In his caption, he expressed, ‘Their smiles are priceless!’

However, Rauf’s response to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) stirred attention amidst this leisurely scene. The PCB issued a show-cause notice after he refused to participate in the upcoming Test series against Australia, citing inadequate red-ball practice as the primary reason.

This decision received criticism from Chief Selector Wahab Riaz and Team Director Mohammad Hafeez, emphasizing the priority of national team duties over franchise cricket commitments.

Despite the notice, Haris Rauf, along with Zaman Khan and Usama Mir, secured NOCs to play in the Big Bash League (BBL) until December 28. Haris Rauf and Usama Mir are part of Melbourne Stars, while Zaman Khan is part of Sydney Thunder.

The BBL campaign of Haris Rauf’s Melbourne Stars is set to kick off on December 7 at The Gabba Stadium against the Brisbane Heat.

However, Haris Rauf is expected to join the Pakistan squad for a five-match T20 International series in New Zealand, starting on January 12.

pcb-unsettling-decisions-sparks-reaction-from-journalists

The recent upheaval within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) following Pakistan’s disappointing World Cup campaign has sparked intense reactions among fans, seasoned analysts, and senior journalists.

PCB’s Decisions like appointing Mohammad Hafeez as Director of Cricket and Wahab Riaz as Chief Selector have triggered a significant backlash on social media, leaving cricket enthusiasts and experts disheartened.

The widespread discontent stems from what many perceive as erratic choices, leading to a destabilizing effect on Pakistan Cricket.

The new management’s unprofessional conduct and disorganization have drawn sharp criticism from seasoned journalists, raising apprehensions about the future trajectory of the national cricket team.

A focal point of controversy emerged with the sudden inclusion of Salman Butt as a consultant selector. Butt, previously embroiled in a match-fixing scandal, faced strong opposition within the cricketing community for his selection.

The swift reversal of this decision only highlighted the vulnerability of PCB to social media pressure, exacerbating the situation.

As the cricketing world keenly observes these developments, fans are eager for the PCB to establish stability and coherence in governing Pakistan cricket.

 

The frequent changes in player positions and administrative roles have blurred the situation, revealing the underlying chaos within the system.

Zaka also took aim at Hania Aamir, expressing his views on what he considers unproductive content.

Questioning the priorities of the masses, Zaka asked viewers whether such content, referring to Ducky Bhai’s video, should dominate social media trends, emphasizing the contrast between the fascination with fashion and the lack of attention to pressing global issues, such as the situation in Palestine.

In a candid assertion, Zaka shifted responsibility from content creators to the audience, pointing out that it is the masses who promote and dictate the popularity of specific content.

Addressing the desire for content on advanced topics like artificial intelligence and teleportation, Zaka expressed skepticism, noting that the audience’s inclination tends to favor lighter, more entertaining content over informative and educational material.

Waqar Zaka concluded by characterizing Pakistan as a “meme nation,” suggesting that while the nation may find amusement in such content, the rest of the world is laughing at them.

Buy Two Smartphones Or One PTA-Approved One?

It seems that they are carrying two smartphones for security reasons and budgeting reasons. Firstly, smartphone snatching is quite common in the city and one has to be quite careful when carrying electronics. Thus, it can be a wise decision to carry two smartphones, where you can give away one in case of a mugging. Secondly, the PTA on some smartphones is so high, people are often forced to carry two of them.

Smartphones and PTA Approved Ones

So, is it better to buy and carry two smartphones in Karachi today? While it can feel quite tedious, it can actually be an investment saver for you in many instances. If you carry two smartphones, you can carry one budget smartphone that is PTA approved. You can also carry a flagship second one that will be non PTA-Approved. This way, you can have connectivity and experience the fun and usage of the flagship phone.

However, if you carry just one flagship PTA approved smartphone, and the phone gets mugged, you are going to face a higher loss. If you get mugged with two smartphones on you, you can always try and give only the budget smartphone, or you can keep the second one at home, safe and sound. We will always recommend keeping a second smartphone in the car as well, for safety reasons.

Keeping Two Phones

What a life we the people of Pakistan live, with our philosophy to carry two smartphones. We have to keep in mind the security conditions when walking or driving outside. It can be just like how we prefer to not stop anywhere outside for long late at night. That said, we will always urge you to not show any resistance if you are being mugged.

No matter how expensive the smartphone is, it is not worth more than your life.

When the Galaxy S3 first out, it was considered a revolutionary smartphone, with new features and nifty shortcuts.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Specs

While the standard S24 and S24 Ultra variants are expected, there are conflicting reports on whether there will be a Galaxy S24 Plus. Some sources suggest that it might be dropped from the lineup.

Some reports suggest that the Samsung Galaxy S24 will be available in Black, Gray, Violet, and many more.

Battery capacities are rumored to be 4,000mAh for the base model S24, and 5,000mAh for the S24 Ultra. This battery size should now be considered the standard for any smartphone.

Does Turning Your Deep Freezer On And Off Save Electricity?

Due to the increasing prices on electricity as well as gas, people are trying their best to come up with ways to save it. One of the ways many people say they save electricity is by turning their deep freezer on and off multiple times a day.

They say that the deep freezer is only used in the day when they require it, in certain hours. Other than that, they turn it off. However, there is a piece of misinformation hidden within this method to save electricity. Turning the appliance on and off multiple times a day is actually going to produce a larger electricity bill than save it!

saving electricity with Deep freezer

Deep Freezer Technology

It is quite interesting to note how a deep freezer actually works. What it does is, it consumes a massive amount of energy and units when it is turned on. This applies to most appliances present in the house. Once it is turned on, then it stabilizes to a much lower and nominal wattage and power consumption. If the running consumption of a deep freezer is usually between 150 to 250 watts, its starting consumption is 800 to 1200 watts.

Yes, the machine requires a big influx to power on, then requires much less to keep running. Thus, if someone is turning it on and off multiple times a day, they are going to be consuming more electricity than usual. A lot of people in Pakistan are following this method and we have to spread awareness on it.

Deep freezer technology

Saving Electricity

If you really must turn off the appliance, it should not be more than once a day. This is because the starting consumption of the appliance is going to cost you a heftier bill. The bill will be much heftier than the freezer running non-stop the whole day. This same logic applies regular refrigerators, Non-Inverter Air Conditioners as well.

Additionally, turning the appliance on and off again can also damage it. Thus, we recommend that you keep your appliance running through the day and only turn it off once, if needed, during peak hours.

To Buy A Car Through Banking Or Get An Older Car?

Purchasing a car in today’s economy can be quite a smart investment decision, depending on the car you buy. If the vehicle has a higher re-sale value, and is not too old to have rare spare parts, then it can be a worthwhile investment. However, the question that arises to everyone’s mind is which path to take towards this purchase. People also like to buy older model cars with a high re-sale, then slowly upgrade to newer ones. However, there are also many people who prefer to buy four or five year old cars through financing done by the bank.

Financing a car through means of various
Image Source: rac.com

Thus, the main question is whether to go for the banking method or go for the manual older vehicle purchase. One of the advantages of bank financing is that the car is not going to give you many issues in terms of performance. However, when it comes to the budget, you would also need a higher one for it.

Car Purchasing in Pakistan

If you decide to go for bank financing, it is important to note that the bank also requires an initial down payment. That means that you would have to have some capital to invest initially. Then, you would select from 3-year to 5-year plans as to which one to get. However, it is also important to note that due to increasing installments each year, you will be buying the car at a higher price than normal.

While the car will be newer and you can drive it from day one, it will be priced higher than what you can eventually sell it for. On the other hand, the other method can get you an older car in a reasonable budget. With time, you can upgrade it with another car by maintaining it and selling it at a slightly higher price point. This way, you even get to experience the drive of multiple cars, you learn quite a lot too.

Viable Investment Methods

That said, we recommend going for the banking method if you have a higher budget for purchasing a car. However, if you intend to upgrade, it is also quite a viable method. It will give you quite a lot of cars to work with, and you can upgrade and alter them as you like.

Why Was Salman Butt Removed From His Role As Consultant?

why-was-salman-butt-removed-from-his-role-as-consultant-psl-franchises-fume-over-salman-butt-commentary-role

Pakistan’s newly appointed selection consultant, Salman Butt, faced an abrupt termination within just 24 hours of his appointment. Chief Selector Wahab Riaz announced Butt’s removal, citing external pressures as the main trigger for this decision.

Wahab pointed fingers at the media, accusing it of attempting to tarnish the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) reputation due to Salman Butt’s inclusion in the advisory panel.

Initially, the PCB confirmed the appointments of Kamran Akmal, Rao Iftikhar Anjum, and Salman Butt as consultant members, drawing criticism for various reasons, notably the regional dominance in the panel. All three members hail from Punjab, historically a dominant region in Pakistan cricket.

However, the majority of the controversy was caused because of the appointment of Salman Butt. This marked his first association with the PCB since his ban for spot-fixing in 2010. Despite playing domestic cricket and participating in the PSL post-ban, Butt’s appointment stirred uproar. He had also taken up an analytical role for various media outlets.

Wahab clarified his role in Butt’s inclusion and subsequent removal, asserting his sole responsibility for these decisions. “Salman Butt isn’t on any PCB panel. The decision to take his name back is solely mine,” Wahab emphasized.

Acknowledging Butt’s cricketing acumen and his extensive coverage of domestic cricket in recent years, Wahab highlighted that Salman Butt was included as a consultant for opinions. However, media scrutiny and public opinion prompted the reversal of this decision.

Wahab defended his authority as the chief selector, underlining his prerogative in choosing his team. “As a chief selector, it’s my decision to select my team. However, due to discussions about nepotism, I’ve revoked this decision. I’ve already informed Salman Butt that he cannot be a part of my team,” Wahab stated.

Salman Butt, who played Tests, ODIs, and T20Is for Pakistan, faced a ban following the spot-fixing saga in 2010. Subsequently, he served a suspended sentence and was later convicted and imprisoned for conspiracy charges related to spot-fixing, alongside Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif.
