UAE stage historic win over Bangladesh in second T20I
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) stunned the cricketing world with a thrilling victory over Bangladesh in the second T20I, as part of a three-match series. The historic win, achieved on Monday, May 19, saw the UAE chase down a daunting target of 205 set by their opponents.
Played at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, UAE's chase saw them score 29 runs in the last 12 balls to tie the series, forcing a decider.
Despite the fall of two wickets in the final two overs, UAE's impressive turnaround was propelled by the impressive knocks by skipper
Muhammad Waseem
and a six by Dhruv Parashar in a tense final over. As the UAE secured victory, the team also set a record in the process.

The mammoth 205 run chase is the biggest ever successful chase achieved by an Associate Nation against an ICC Full Member.
Bangladesh's impressive 205 at the cost of five wickets was achieved thanks to a Tanzin Hasan 59 off 33 balls and a Litton Das 40 form 32 deliveries. With the experience of Mustafizur Rahman missing from the squad, who is in the Delhi Capitals camp for IPL 2025, Bangladesh struggled when it was their turn to bowl.

A part of UAE's victory can also be credited to the fact that their middle-order stood firm in the face of a daunting challenge after Bangladeshi bowlers claimed both openers Zohaib Khan and Muhammed Waseem with five overs and 48 runs to get.

NASCAR to revive racing tradition at Joliet's Chicagoland Speedway in July 2026
NASCAR (Image Source: Getty) NASCAR will return to Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Illinois, within the next couple of weeks during Independence Day weekend. The NASCAR Cup Series will race at the 1.5-mile oval on Sunday, July 5, 2026, after a seven-year absence from the track, followed by the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series on Saturday, July 4. Things are now getting underway with the ARCA Menards Series on Friday, July 3. From a broad perspective, the revival signals a significant strategic shift, with NASCAR swapping out its downtown Chicago street race that it tried a year ago for a Joliet return that's meant to revive mid-season excitement and serve as a nod to the sport's historic footprint in suburbs outside Chicago. Why NASCAR is returning to Chicagoland Speedway Having sat dormant during the pandemic and well beyond due to new priorities towards urban street racing in Chicago, Chicagoland Speedway last morphed into a NASCAR Cup event in 2019. NASCAR, however, is welcoming a return to its more oval-centric traditions in 2026: a model that aligns better with an efficient business operation, consumer demand, and logistical convenience. An anticipated weekend of racing will find Chicagoland at the center of the action: the ARCA on July 3, the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series on July 4, and the Cup Series headlining on July 5, a perfect marquee weekend for race fans celebrating the birth of their Nation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 Most Beautiful Women Ever Today's NYC Undo While NASCAR executives assert that intermediate-length oval tracks. The 1.5-mile Joliet facility is a prime example, still providing some of the best racing on the schedule, the Cup Series still has the potential to get racing fans throughout the greater Chicagoland area juiced up all over again.

Organizers cited logistical as well as resident feedback factors and other needs for operational flexibility behind the decision to pause the Chicago Street Race, which was scheduled to run from 2023 through 2025. After renegotiations with city officials, the street event will return to downtown Chicago in 2027. At the same time, NASCAR makes another nod toward its evolving footprint and willingness to experiment with new, non-traditional racing venues with a new street-course event in San Diego at Naval Base Coronado joining the 2026 schedule.

How Patrice Bergeron influenced Tage Thompson's unlikely path to NHL stardom
NHL-Tage Thompson of the Buffalo Sabres (Credit: Getty Images) As a child, Tage Thompson was determined to become a goaltender. That dream changed during the 2004–05 NHL lockout while his father Brent was playing in Providence, Rhode Island. With Patrice Bergeron also spending time there, Brent encouraged him to take shots against young Tage in casual street sessions. Sabres' Tage Thompson Notches Seventh Career Hat Trick vs. Bruins Patrice Bergeron's influence during the lockout The outcome was one-sided. Bergeron's skill as a shooter made it clear to Thompson that goaltending would not be his future. Though discouraging in the moment, this experience ultimately set him on a different course, and abandoning the idea of playing in net. Thompson shifted his focus to developing as a forward. And an adjustment that became the foundation of his professional career. Meeting Patrice Bergeron years later in the NHL Years later, when Thompson reached the NHL, he found himself competing directly against Bergeron. Facing a player who unknowingly altered his hockey path was a full-circle moment. Instead of being defined by that early setback. Thompson stood across the ice as a peer and a proven goal scorer in his own right. The meeting was more than just symbolic, as it gave Thompson an appreciation for the impact Bergeron had on him, not only as a player. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo But also as a professional who carried himself with respect and humility. FLORIDA ARE CHAMPS AGAIN & TAGE THOMPSON JOINS THE SHOW I Missin Curfew Ep 399 Youtube Version Carrying the lesson into Patrice Bergeron's own career Thompson's respect for Bergeron grew as he experienced firsthand. This is how the Bruins captain treated opponents and fellow players, Bergeron's kindness and professionalism left a lasting impression. This is showing Thompson that character could be just as meaningful as talent in shaping a legacy. As Thompson's own career developed in Buffalo, he embraced those lessons, beyond his offensive success. He began striving to represent himself in the same respectful and grounded way, Bergeron's influence extended far beyond that childhood street game. It provided a model for leadership that Thompson aims to bring into his own career. Today, Thompson is recognized as one of the NHL's top scoring forwards. But he credits an unlikely source for setting him on that trajectory, Patrice Bergeron's talent may have crushed his early dream. But his professionalism inspired the mindset that continues to guide Thompson's career.
