What does West Indies’ huge win over Zimbabwe mean for India in their quest for T20 World Cup semifinal?

New Delhi: West Indies handed Zimbabwe a proper drubbing in the Super Eight stage of the T20 World Cup 2026 with a jaw-dropping batting show and an impressive bowling performance. The hard-hitting Windies side put up the second-biggest T20 World Cup total of 254/6 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai before registering a huge 107-run victory. The 107-run win is the West Indies' second-biggest win in World Cup history, only behind their 134-run cakewalk over Uganda in the last edition of the tournament. With the target so tall, the Chevrons could not pose a threat, and due to a record…

Democrats demand Trump refunds USD 175 billion collected in tariffs after US Supreme Court quashing

Washington: A group of Senate Democrats is urging the federal government to refund about USD 175 billion in tariff revenues after the Supreme Court ruled that the money was collected under an unlawful set of orders issued by President Donald Trump. Senators Ron Wyden of Oregon, Ed Markey of Massachusetts and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire are introducing legislation that would require US Customs and Border Protection to issue refunds within 180 days and pay interest on the returned amounts. The proposal would prioritise small businesses and encourage importers, wholesalers and large companies to pass refunds on to customers. "Trump’s…

Eden Gardens could be stripped of hosting T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final, depends on ifs and buts

New Delhi: When the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the T20 World Cup 2026 schedule, they clarified that India will play their semi-final at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, unless it’s against Pakistan. In that case, Colombo’s R Premadasa Stadium will host the marquee clash. For that matter, even if it’s not against India, Colombo will host Pakistan’s semi-final, subject to their qualification. However, in case they don’t, Kolkata’s Eden Gardens was scheduled to host the semi-final 1. However, 10 days prior to that, ICC is contemplating the idea, as they are now considering Colombo as the venue for the…

Trump pushes global 15 per cent tariff after court blow; warns defiant nations of harsher levy

Washington: US President Donald Trump on Monday threatened countries across the world to stick to any tariff agreements they previously accepted, despite the US Supreme Court's recent ruling striking down several of his sweeping import taxes. He also declared his intention to impose a global tariff of 15 per cent, which is a rise from the 10 per cent he had earlier announced immediately after the ruling. The court's Friday decision struck down tariffs Trump had imposed on nearly every country using an emergency powers law. "Any country that wants to 'play games' with the ridiculous Supreme Court decision, especially…
