WI vs PAK: Farhan, Ayub star as Pakistan take series-clinching win by 13 runs
Athanaze continued the counterattack but found little support from his captain, Shai Hope, who struggled to keep up with the required run rate. Hope's struggle ended when Mohammad Nawaz caught him in the deep by Ayub.Sherfane Rutherford then took charge, showcasing the form he displayed in the IPL 2025 season. Alongside Athanaze, he kept the scoreboard ticking. Both batters reached their fifties, but Pakistan struck back just in time. Ayub, now with the ball, deceived Athanaze with a flighted delivery, drawing an edge that was safely taken at short third-man.The West Indies faltered in the middle overs. Roston Chase, unable to rotate strike or find boundaries, retired himself out. The pressure mounted further as left-arm wrist-spinner Sufiyan Muqeem removed Jason Holder, further denting the chase.Although Gudakesh Motie tried to inject some life into the innings with a few boundaries, Romario Shepherd had an off-day, leaving the hosts short of the target.With this result, Pakistan continued their dominance over the West Indies in the T20I series, claiming a seventh successive series win between the two sides. The visitors' strong opening partnership and disciplined bowling once again proved the difference on a day when West Indies were left to rue missed chances and a middle-order collapse.- Ends

High Court takes BIG decision on Kohli's RCB teammate Yash Dayal in minor's rape case
Virat Kohli and Yash Dayal. (PIC - X) New Delhi: The Rajasthan High Court has dismissed a stay on the arrest of Virat Kohli's RCB teammate, fast bowler Yash Dayal in the case of the rape of a minor girl. What were the rulings of the High Court? The court held that as the victim is a minor, no interim relief is possible to the accused cricketer against arrest. Justice Sudesh Bansal hearing the case in Jaipur also ordered the case diary and fixed the next hearing on August 22. What did Yash Dayal's attorney say? Yash Dayal's lawyer, Kunal Jaiman, in the course of the hearing contended that the case was a part of a bigger conspiracy to tarnish the image of the cricketer. He contended that the same case of rape had previously been lodged in Ghaziabad, which was stayed by the Allahabad High Court. 'Just seven days after that, another FIR was registered in Jaipur. A gang seems to be involved in blackmailing by filing such cases,' Yash Dayal's lawyer alleged. What is the Jaipur case? But Sanganer police station in-charge Anil Jaiman revealed the Jaipur case details, adding that the complainant, who was a minor at the time of the incident, had met Yash Dayal while watching a cricket match. She then blamed Yash Dayal for sexually assaulting her nearly two years ago on the assurance of assisting her in her cricket career. The police also said Yash Dayal raped the girl for the second time in Sitapura hotel, Jaipur, during the season of IPL 2025 after the girl was invited to the room by Yash Dayal. Since the girl was 17-years-old at the time of the first rape, an FIR was registered under Sections of IPC and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Interestingly, Dayal had earlier created a commotion by claiming to have posted communal content on his Instagram handle two years back. He later clarified that while two contentious reports were posted from his account, but he did not post them from his account.
