Kolkata beat Lucknow in IPL’s shortest Super Over

Published by Sam Flores

LUCKNOW, India, April 26 : Kolkata Knight Riders beat Lucknow Super Giants in the shortest Super Over in Indian Premier League history on Sunday, needing just one ball to seal victory after Lucknow tied the game with a last-ball six. Lucknow, chasing 156 for victory after Rinku Singh’s unbeaten 83 in the middle order guided Kolkata to a competitive total, stumbled until they needed seven runs off the last ball of the innings. With Mohammed Shami on strike, the Indian fast bowler smashed Kartik Tyagi’s final delivery over long off to tie the match and send it into a Super Over. However, the Super Over proved to be a masterclass from Kolkata’s Sunil Narine, the 37-year-old dismantling Lucknow’s batting in devastating fashion while conceding one run. The experienced all-rounder dismissed fellow West Indian Nicholas Pooran off the first ball when he was bowled before Aiden Markram was caught in the deep off the third ball as Lucknow posted 1-2 in three balls. “The entire team backed me (to bowl the Super Over), so I think …

Margot Robbie’s ‘reinvention’ with shortest hair yet decoded by psychologist

Margot Robbie’s ‘reinvention’ with shortest hair yet decoded by psychologist

Margot Robbie turned heads when she appeared at Paris Fashion Week with a brand new, dramatic haircut that included messy bangs, and her bold move may indicate she is ready for a new chapter.  The 35-year-old Wuthering Heights star sat front row at the Chanel autumn/winter 2026 show and debuted her long bob, complete with choppy bangs that hung low over her forehead.  Her hair has been a signature part of her look and previous roles as she adopted costumes and red carpet dresses reminiscent of her film’s characters during dramatic press tours.  Margot’s latest role, Cathy Earnshaw in Wuthering Heights, saw her use her long, blonde, soft locks as the main accessory to her period-style outfits. She wore her hair in loose waves that trailed down her back throughout various premieres alongside her co-star, Jacob Elordi.  Previously, the star used her luscious tresses as part of her Barbie promotional tour, embodying the famous blonde doll even more so due to her iconic long-haired appearance.  However, it seems change is afoot, with the introduction of …

Can the Beurer WL 50 sunrise alarm clock brighten up the shortest day of the year? I found out

Can the Beurer WL 50 sunrise alarm clock brighten up the shortest day of the year? I found out

Even the best wake-up light needs to function as a traditional alarm clock. So, it was time to investigate the audio settings. The WL 50 has just three sound settings: a beep, bells chiming and birds chirping. There’s nothing especially exciting – by contrast, the Lumie Bodyclock Luxe offers fairground music and sitar with tanpura – but I think Beurer has a better understanding of what sounds people actually want from a sunrise alarm clock. There’s no danger of being spoiled for choice. I tried all three sound settings on the Beurer WL 50 and I consistently woke up to each of them. The audio quality is crisp, and there’s no chance of the alarm sound working its way into my dreams. Incredibly at this price, you get full Bluetooth connectivity and FM radio, as well as a USB port, so you can play your own music or calming podcasts. I missed the dials found on the Lumie Bodyclock Luxe, which make it smoother to cycle through different stations and DAB radio would offer clearer …

This annual event marks the shortest day of the year, characterised by the fewest hours of daylight, and conversely, the longest night. It is also the precise moment when the sun reaches its lowest daily maximum elevation in the sky. The term “solstice” itself is rooted in Latin, combining “sol,” meaning sun, with “sistere,” which translates to “to come to a stop” or “make stand.” While the Southern Hemisphere embraces the onset of summer, those residing north of the equator will observe the opposite – the inaugural day of winter. This year, the celestial event is set to occur on Sunday …
