No comeback for Steve Smith as Australia make one change for dead rubber T20 World Cup clash vs Oman

Pallekele (Sri Lanka): Australia locked horns today against Oman in the final group stage match of the T20 World Cup 2026.

However, even for this dead rubber, the Aussies didn't hand a comeback to the 36-year-old Steve Smith who was roped in as a replacement for Josh Hazlewood before the Sri Lanka encounter. Smith last played for Australia exactly two years ago in…

Australia equal all-time T20 World Cup record with dominant win over Oman

Pallekele (Sri Lanka): Australia ended their T20 World Cup campaign today with a dominant nine-wicket win against Oman in Pallekele.

Supreme Court strikes down Trump’s sweeping tariffs: What options does US President have now?

Washington: In a major setback to US President Donald Trumpโ€™s signature trade policy, the US Supreme Court on Friday struck down most of his sweeping tariff measures.

US Supreme Court quashes Trump’s tariff orders: Does it mean zero tariff on India? Explained

Washington: The US Supreme Court on Friday struck down President Donald Trump's far-reaching global tariffs, handing him a significant loss on an issue crucial to his economic agenda.

It's the first major piece of Trump's broad agenda to come squarely before the nation's highest court, which he helped shape with the appointments of three conservative jurists in his first term. In a 6-3 decision by Chief Justice John Roberts, the court…
