Pakistan and the Proteas are highly unlikely to feature in the semi-finals after winning just one match apiece. The ICC Champions Cup holders will be smarting from a heavy defeat in a rain-affected match against arch-rivals India at Old Trafford last time out and could make changes, with Haris Sohail among the contenders to come into the side. South Africa have also endured a miserable tournament, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson’s magnificent unbeaten century consigning them to a four-wicket loss on Wednesday that left them all but eliminated....

We can now add Babar Azam to the list too. Azam is certainly a special player. He is only 24 years of age, but has already accrued 11 centuries from 71 innings. He averages a superb 54.55 in his ODI career so far. One of the secrets to Azam’s success is his all-round game. He is strong from everywhere in the crease. Off the front foot, he is well-known for his glorious cover-drives....

His new team is now 3-0. His old team is 0-2, and the new guy just threw four interceptions. But is Darnold looking back at his time with the Jets? Not quite. MORE: Christian McCaffery injury update...

Gettleman had a major hand in building this 17-2 Carolina team that fell short in the big game. Though it certainly doesn’t ease his pain, I’m giving him a consolation prize as my personal selection for the league’s GM of the Year.

Party members in previous Paper Mario games had unique, distinct designs, such as Goombella, a female Goomba studying to become an archaeologist, and Parakarry, a Paratroopa character who acts as a delivery man in the original Paper Mario, spinning familiar Mario series enemies into memorable characters that stuck with the player well after the credits rolled. While Super Paper Mario marked a distinct shift in the series’ direction gameplay-wise, it wasn’t until Paper Mario: Sticker Star on the Nintendo 3DS that fans to become increasingly disappointed in how the series was losing its charm as it had completely moved away from party members and started experimenting with new battle systems....

Each character is designed to play in 4 or 5 different lanes. Some need two players, while others may only need one. The one-player lanes are called Solo lanes. These characters can hold their own; however, many of the characters in this lane benefit from having a teammate helping....
