Keshav Maharaj leads South Africa to a one-wicket win over Pakistan at the Cricket World Cup

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 16:10:34 GMT

CHENNAI, India (AP) — Keshav Maharaj led South Africa to a one-wicket win over Pakistan on Friday at the Cricket World Cup.Maharaj helped the South Africans reach 271-9 and hand Pakistan its fourth straight loss in the tournament.Maharaj defied Pakistan’s pace late in the match before he pulled left-arm spinner Mohammad Nawaz to backward square leg for the winning boundary, lifting South Africa to the top of the standings with 10 points from five victories.Pakistan had earlier made 270 on the back of half centuries from Saud Shakeel (52) and captain Babar Azam (50) before getting bowled out in 47.2 overs.Left-arm wrist spinner Tabraiz Shamsi, one of the three changes South Africa made to its lineup, took 4-60 and never allowed Pakistan to run away as he grabbed the wickets of both Babar and Shakeel.Aiden Markram, who top-scored with 91, looked to have marshaled South Africa’s fifth win in the tournament but his dismissal in the 41st over brought Pakistan back in the game.Concu...

Jeff Walz, No. 17 Louisville enter season with roster revamped with 6 transfers instead of freshmen

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 16:10:34 GMT

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Louisville having another highly-rated recruiting class appears normal at first glance for Jeff Walz.The twist is that just one of the seven newcomers is a freshman, and the longtime Cardinals coach points out that his unusual deep dive into the transfer portal was more about need than a philosophical shift. With many top high school prospects already committed last fall, Walz worked the portal hard this spring with several veteran regulars on the cusp of leaving — only to have to fill a huge vacancy with the surprise departure of All-American guard Hailey Van Lith to defending national champion and top-ranked LSU.Since transfers helped Louisville reach its fourth Final Four in 2022 and the Elite Eight last season, it was the logical choice to restock his roster. It has yielded seasoned talent.“Instead of going after a kid that you think in two years should be ready to play, you just might say, ‘No, I’ll just wait for the portal and get a kid who has college e...

Donald Trump’s testimony is set Nov. 6 in civil fraud trial as judge says daughter also must testify

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 16:10:34 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump is set to testify Nov. 6 in the civil business fraud case against him, following testimony from his three eldest children, state lawyers said Friday. It was already expected that the ex-president and sons Donald Jr. and Eric would testify. The timing became clear Friday, when the judge ruled that daughter Ivanka Trump also must take the stand.The schedule sets up a blockbuster stretch for the trial of New York Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit. She alleges that the former president, now the Republican front-runner for 2024, overstated his wealth for years on financial statements that were given to banks, insurers and others to help secure loans and deals. Trump denies any wrongdoing and has called the trial a politically motivated sham. James is a Democrat. Donald Trump and the two sons are defendants in the case, but the state is initially calling them to the stand before the defense begins its case. The defense can then call them...
