WATCH: Afghanistan player Mohammad Nabi slammed for a six by son Hassan Eisakhil
Batting first, the Sharks posted 162 runs on the back of a half century by Eisakhil while Naveed Zadran, Khalil Gurbaz and Mujeeb Ur Rahman conjured magic with the ball with terrific spells. However, Khalid Taniwal (56) and Wafiullah Tarakhil's (49) fireworks powered the Knights to a comfortable win.
Last year, Nabi had announced that he will retire from the 50-over format after the 2025 Champions Trophy but had taken a U-turn later, saying he wanted to play with his son. '

'I'm still thinking (about the future). These might not be my last ODIs, I will probably play less ODIs and give chances to the youngsters to build experience. I've discussed with the senior players and in the high-level games, maybe or maybe not, we'll see. It will depend on my fitness,' he had told ICC earlier this year.
'It's my dream (to play for Afghanistan together). Hopefully we can do it. He is doing very well. In the last two games he scored a hundred and 95. He is a hard worker and I'm also pushing him to do work. I want him to make his own goals, if you want to get to be a high-level cricketer, you have to work hard. It's not enough to make 50 or 60, you have to score 100+. He's listening and pushing all the time. When he can talk to me, I try to give him advice to give him confidence for the game,' he had said about his son.
Nabi has played for Afghanistan in 173 ODIs, 132 T20Is and 3 Tests. He has 3667 runs and 2237 runs in ODIs and T20Is respectively while also notching up 176 wickets and 97 wickets in the 50-over format and the 20-over format respectively.

Tour de France 2025 winner Stage 21 standings final results: Tadej Pogacar crowned 4th time for Yellow Jersey
Tadej Pogacar on Sunday won Tour de France 2025 in rainy Paris finale. Slovenian rider Pogačar bagged the Tour de France for the fourth time. Pogacar has won the iconic Yellow Jersey. Wout van Aert claimed victory in Stage 21, crossing the finish line first in a dramatic conclusion to the race. However, due to heavy rainfall and safety concerns on the cobbled Montmartre route, organizers neutralized the race timing with about 50 kilometers remaining. As a result, while van Aert's stage win stands, the overall general classification standings were locked in before the final laps—a decision that confirmed Tadej Pogačar as the winner of his fourth Tour de France title.

London E‑Prix Round 15: E‑Pad Deep Dive
This analysis video breaks down the tactical heart of Round 15 at the London E‑Prix using E‑Pad timing data. It offers a look into the strategy zone-from energy deployment and PIT BOOST timing to how key drivers like Nick Cassidy or Mitch Evans handled the pressure in their Jaguar machines. Expect a few glitches: timing overlays that glitch mid-scene, ambient crowd chatter, and split-second jumps in the data feed. That rawness adds to the authenticity, making it feel like sitting trackside with the engineer team, poring over the real-time board.

Jasprit Bumrah next in line to retire from Tests? Here's what Kaif said
Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif has sparked speculation over Jasprit Bumrah's future in Test cricket, suggesting that the pace spearhead could be the next senior player to step away from the longest format following Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravichandran Ashwin. 'Won't be surprised if Bumrah decides to retire soon' Speaking in a video on his verified X handle, Kaif expressed concern over Bumrah's physical condition, particularly after his underwhelming performance on Day 3 of the fourth Test against England, where he managed only one wicket in 28 overs. 'Looking at how things are, I won't be surprised if Bumrah decides to retire from Test cricket soon. Virat, Rohit, and Ashwin have already moved on, and Bumrah might follow,' Kaif remarked. 'I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but he just doesn't look comfortable out there. The passion is clearly there, but his body seems to be giving up.' Kaif added that Bumrah appeared to be 'losing the battle with his body,' highlighting a notable drop in pace and overall effectiveness. He noted that during the Old Trafford Test, Bumrah was mostly operating in the 130-135 kmph range, rarely breaching the 140 kmph mark, a far cry from his usual sharpness. Bumrah denying captaincy for workload management Earlier this year, Bumrah had declined India's Test captaincy offer post-Rohit's retirement, citing concerns about workload management. "I didn't think it would be fair to the team to have a captain for just a few Tests. Continuity is important, and I've always prioritised the team's needs,' Bumrah had explained. The 31-year-old, currently ranked No. 1 in the ICC Test bowling rankings, has struggled with injuries in recent months. He was unable to bowl during the second innings of the final Border-Gavaskar Test in Sydney due to a back problem and subsequently missed the 2025 Champions Trophy and the early phase of the IPL. On the ongoing England tour, Bumrah has carefully managed his workload, playing only three of the four Tests so far. While he impressed at Headingley with a five-wicket haul and followed it up with another strong showing at Lord's, his diminished pace and rhythm during the Manchester Test have raised fresh doubts about his long-term fitness. Kaif pointed to these worrying signs, saying, 'Bumrah is a proud cricketer. If he feels he's no longer able to deliver at his best for India, he may step away on his own terms. He's the kind of player who wants to contribute meaningfully, not just participate.' India now faces the reality that their pace ace may no longer be a regular presence in red-ball cricket, with Kaif hinting that fans may soon have to adjust to a Test side without one of its most impactful fast bowlers.
