Top news of the day
India and South Africa will play a crucial Group 1 match in the Super 8 round of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 on Sunday. The match will be held at the prestigious Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Both teams are unbeaten so far in the tournament and are in excellent form. Consequently, this match is considered crucial in the race for the semi-finals.
The first match of the Super 8 stage, scheduled to be played between the Pakistan national cricket team and the New Zealand national cricket team at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, was canceled due to persistent rain. This raised concerns among fans about the weather for the India-South Africa match.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the remaining stretch of the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut Namo Bharat Corridor and the Meerut Metro on Sunday. With this, the entire 82.15-kilometer-long high-speed corridor will be opened to the public. Until now, only 55 kilometers of this route was operational. On Friday, successful trial runs were completed between Begumpul and Sarai Kale Khan and Begumpul and Meerut South.
Saving time has become a paramount necessity in life. The Namo Bharat Corridor will cover the 82-kilometer distance in just 55 minutes, whereas the same journey by private car can take 2.5 to 3.5 hours on normal days. During peak hours, this time can reach 4-5 hours. This project will prove to be a major relief for daily commuters.
