आईसीसी वनडे वर्ल्ड कप को सबसे ज्यादा 5 बार जीतने वाली ऑस्ट्रेलिया की टीम का इस बार के टूर्नामेंट में बुरा हाल हो गया. भारत में खेले जा रहा विश्व कप ऑस्ट्रेलिया के लिए अब तक बेहद खराब रहा है. शुरुआती दो मुकाबलों में टीम को दो एकतरफा हार मिली. पहले भारतीय टीम ने 6 विकेट से धोया और फिर साउथ अफ्रीका के हाथों 134 रन से शिकस्त मिली. यह विश्व कप में ना सिर्फ कंगारू टीम की सबसे बडी हार है बल्कि टूर्नामेंट के इतिहास में पहली बार टीम को लगातार चार हार का सामना करना पड़ा.

"Sextortion" Racket Using Dating Apps Busted In Odisha, 4 Minors Detained

The Odisha Police on Wednesday arrested a person and detained four minor boys for their alleged involvement in a "sextortion" racket being operated through dating apps.

The police action came on the basis of written complaints filed by two persons from Bhubaneswar and Khurda.

"We have detained four minor boys and arrested an adult male for luring and cheating people through dating apps. They also extorted money from the victims by blackmailing," said Girija Shankar Chakrabarty, ACP (Zone-II), Bhubaneswar.

The gang members used to engage in friendly chats with people and invite them to a house in Bhubaneswar, where they allegedly shot obscene videos and threatened to circulate those on social media, police said.

They would rob their victims of valuables and transfer money from their bank accounts by blackmailing them, the officer said.

Further investigation is underway.

PAK vs SL: List Of Records Broken In High-Scoring World Cup Thriller

The Pakistan vs Sri Lanka match in the Cricket World Cup 2023 turned out to be a high-scoring thriller, with the two teams putting nearly 700 runs on the board cumulatively. In different phases of the match, both seemed to have had some sort of edge, but it was Mohammad Rizwan's unbeaten knock of 131 runs that proved to be the difference maker. The wicket-keeper batter, however, was only one of the four players in the match who went on to register triple-digit scores.

Batting first, Sri Lanka put a total of 344 runs on the board, thanks to centuries from Kusal Mendis and Sadeera Samarawickrama. For Pakistan, the likes of Abdullah Shafique and Mohammad Rizwan scored centuries, as the latter remained unebaten till the end despite apparent injury issues.

As Pakistan chased down the target, record books were rewritten. Here are some of the milestones that were reached in the match:

Highest scores for Pakistan wicketkeepers in ODIs: Mohammad Rizwan's unbeaten 131 is the highest score for a Pakistani wicketkeeper in ODIs. Some of the other top scorers are:

124 - Kamran Akmal vs WI, Brisbane, 2005
116* - Kamran Akmal vs AUS, Abu Dhabi, 2009
115 - Mohammad Rizwan vs AUS, Sharjah, 2019

Highest target successfully chased in World Cups: Pakistan's successful run-chase of 345 runs is the highest in an ODI World Cup match. The previous best were:

328 by IRE vs ENG, Bengaluru, 2011
322 by BAN vs WI, Taunton, 2019
319 by BAN vs SCO, Nelson, 2015
313 by SL vs ZIM, New Plymouth, 1992

Most hundreds scored in an ODI match: No ODI has seen more than 4 centuries being scored in a single contest. But, it was the first time such a thing happened in a World Cup match. Other occasions:

4 - PAK vs AUS, Lahore, 1998
4 - IND vs AUS, Nagpur, 2013

Most wins against a team without any loss in World Cups: Pakistan now have 8 wins against Sri Lanka in World Cups, the most for a single team. Some of the other teams with similar results are:

7 - India vs Pakistan
6 - West Indies vs Zimbabwe

Quite a few matches have been high-scoring contests in the Cricket World Cup 2023. More are likely to follow.
