All-round Shakeel leads Quetta Gladiators to thumping victory over Rawalpindiz – SUCH TV
Rilee Rossouw’s anchoring half-century, supported by a disciplined bowling display, powered Quetta Gladiators to a commanding 61-run win over Rawalpindi in the 18th match of the Pakistan Super League at the National Bank Stadium on Friday.
Set to chase a daunting 184-run target, Pindiz’s batting unit faltered and could yield 121 before getting booked in 17.3 overs.
Emerging all-rounder Saad Masood waged a lone battle for the Pindiz and remained their top-scorer with a brisk 19-ball 31, followed by experienced middle-order batter Daryl Mitchell, who made a cautious 30 off 32 deliveries.
Besides them, only Yasir Khan and Abdullah Fazal could amass double figures, making 22 and 20, respectively.
Usman Tariq, Jahandad Khan and captain Saud Shakeel jointly led the Gladiators’ bowling charge with two wickets each, while Kashif Bhatti and Abrar Ahmed chipped in with one scalp apiece.
Put into bat first, the previous edition’s runners-up accumulated 182/6 in their 20 overs, setting a daunting target for the debutants to taste their maiden victory in the ongoing eight-team tournament.
The Gladiators, however, got off to a shaky start to their innings as they lost debutant opener Sam Harper (eight) on the first delivery of the fourth over with just 22 runs on the board.
Following the early setback, Rossouw joined captain Saud Shakeel in the middle, and the duo batted sensibly to stabilise the innings with an anchoring 87-run partnership for the second wicket.
Mubasir Khan, who was slotted into the Pindiz’s lineup as a partial replacement of pacer Naseem Shah, broke the crucial partnership in the 15th over by dismissing Rossouw, who remained their top-scorer with a 42-ball 53, studded with six fours and a six.
Saud followed suit in the next over, falling victim to Ben Sears, and walked back after scoring an important 42 off 39 deliveries, comprising three fours.
Experienced Mohammad Amir inflicted two more blows to the Gladiators’ batting expedition by dismissing Khawaja Nafay and Bevon Jacobs in his successive overs and thus brought the total down to 156/6 in 16.2 overs.
But middle-order batter Hasan Nawaz added valuable runs to the Gladiators’ total at the backend with a blazing 39 off just 16 deliveries, studded with five sixes, until eventually falling victim to Ben Sears in the final over.
Nawaz was supported by Jahandad Khan at the backend as the all-rounder contributed with an unbeaten 21 off just six deliveries, hitting two sixes and as many fours.
Sears was the pick of the bowlers for the Pindiz, taking three wickets for 41 runs in his four overs, followed by experienced Amir, who bagged two, while Mubasir could claim one.

Minor league team plates 10 runs in one inning on just one hit, zero errors in frigid conditions
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The New Hampshire Fisher Cats, the Toronto Blue Jays’ Double-A affiliate, achieved a rare feat not seen in the post-expansion era.
Portland’s pitchers — New Hampshire’s opponent for a six-game series — combined for walks, wild pitches and hit batters, paving the way for the Fisher Cats to pull off the feat.
The Fisher Cats fell behind 2-0 early in Tuesday’s game against the Sea Dogs, the Eastern League affiliate of the Boston Red Sox.
But New Hampshire scored its first eight runs in the second inning without recording a single base hit.

The Fisher Cats exploded for 10 runs in the inning — nine with two outs — on just one hit and no errors, the final box score in New Hampshire’s 12-7 win showed. The feat was fueled by Portland pitchers issuing eight walks and hitting two batters. Sea Dogs pitchers also uncorked four wild pitches and allowed a sacrifice fly and the inning’s lone hit.

Sea Dogs president Geoff Iacuessa couldn’t believe what unfolded.
“I don’t ever remember seeing that here or any other game I’ve ever seen,” Iacuessa told Portland’s WGME Channel 13. “It was crazy. I thought maybe something was going on with the scoreboard, and then I checked the GameChanger, and it was correct.”
The rare moment happened amid frigid conditions that prompted the stadium’s ground crew to clear the playing grass and infield after heavy snow fell earlier in the day. Temperatures were just a few degrees above freezing at first pitch.
The inning unraveled quickly after a quiet start, when Portland starter Hayden Mullins issued two walks and uncorked a wild pitch despite striking out the side in the first. New Hampshire then broke through with a sacrifice fly.

Mullins eventually managed to record two outs, but then lost control, walking three straight to tie the game. Jorge Juan came on in relief but hit the first batter he faced with the bases loaded.
A wild pitch made it a 4-2 score, and a walk loaded the bases again for the Fisher Cats. Juan then hit a batter, making it 5-2, before firing another wild pitch to push the Sea Dogs deficit to four runs. Juan walked two more to push it to 7-2 before leaving the mound with a runner at each base again.
Cade Feeney took the hill next and finally stopped the leaking, but not before a wild pitch made it 8-2 and New Hampshire outfielder Ismael Munguia’s two-run single pushed the lead to 10-2.

Not even a team at the major league level has scored more than four runs in an inning without recording its first hit, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
MLB.com reports it has happened just 16 times in American League and National League history that a pitcher allowed five runs without surrendering a hit in 1⅔ innings or fewer.

Cameras caught Scottish golfer Robert MacIntyre making an obscene gesture Thursday.
The Scottish news outlet The Scotsman reported Friday that MacIntyre had been “reprimanded” for it.
The incident unfolded on the par-5 15th hole. After sending his approach shot into the water guarding the green, MacIntyre appeared to raise a middle finger in visible frustration.
Augusta National officials are known for enforcing strict decorum standards. According to The Scotsman, MacIntyre was reminded of the code of conduct by one of the officials.

The 27-year-old declined to speak with reporters after the round.
After a penalty drop, MacIntyre dunked another shot into the pond. After yet another drop, he blasted his next attempt over the green entirely. By the time the damage was done, he carded a quadruple-bogey nine.

MacIntyre also slammed his club into the ground on the 17th hole after a poor second shot. Earlier in the round, he was heard cursing on the 12th and 13th holes.

Entering Augusta, MacIntyre was viewed by many as a potential contender after strong showings at The Players Championship and the Texas Open. But after Thursday’s performance, his chances of making the cut appear slim.
For a tournament steeped in tradition and composure, MacIntyre’s meltdown could end up being one of the defining storylines of the opening round.

The woman was intently listening and then gave her own thoughts.
“That’s you. What the f— are you talking about?” she appeared to respond, based on lip-reading speculation.
The man almost immediately responded with a face of slight recognition and appreciation at the very least.

An X user claiming to be the woman in the video got a kick out of the viral moment.

At the very least, the latest internet meme was born.
The fans also got a chance to see the Pacers win just their second game in their last 25 contests, which isn’t exactly ideal for tanking.
