Lucknow Super Giants clinched a significant victory against Mumbai Indians in the India Premier League (IPL), propelled by Marcus Stoinis' stellar performance both with bat and ball.

Stoinis' impressive contribution of 62 runs and a crucial wicket guided Lucknow to successfully chase down Mumbai's target of 145 runs, securing the win with four wickets and four balls to spare.

The win propelled Lucknow to the third position in the table, while Mumbai continued to struggle, maintaining their ninth position. KL Rahul, captain of Lucknow, managed to score 28 runs before being dismissed.

Mumbai's skipper Hardik Pandya, who had recently been named as India's deputy captain for the upcoming T20 World Cup, fell for a duck, contributing to his team's seventh loss in ten matches.

On a celebratory note, Rohit Sharma, marking his 37th birthday, along with Jasprit Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav, found themselves among the four Mumbai players selected for the T20 World Cup squad.

Mumbai's innings saw them posting a total of 144-7, with Nehal Wadhera leading the charge with a score of 46 runs, supported by an unbeaten 35 off 18 balls from Tim David.

Lucknow's left-arm quick Mohsin Khan played a pivotal role, claiming two crucial wickets, including the dismissal of Rohit Sharma.

Reflecting on the match, Mumbai's skipper Hardik Pandya said, "Sometimes you will be down, sometimes you will be up, just that you got to give it your all. Looks difficult but a lot of things that you can learn from this game."

Stoinis showcased his prowess not only with the ball but also with the bat, registering his second fifty of the season before being dismissed by Mohammad Nabi.

Despite facing some setbacks towards the end, Nicholas Pooran's composed innings ensured Lucknow emerged victorious in the final over.

K Anis Ahmed’s 'Carnivore' serves up satire, class war and moral rot

From the blood-soaked backstreets of Dhaka to the polished kitchens of Manhattan’s elite, K Anis Ahmed’s new novel Carnivore is as imaginative as it is provocative. A satirical thriller steeped in class tension, culinary obsession and primal survival, Carnivore follows Kash, a Bangladeshi immigrant-turned-chef who launches a high-end restaurant serving exotic meats – only to become embroiled in a sinister world of appetite and ambition.

But this is no simple tale of knives and recipes. Ahmed – a seasoned journalist, publisher, and president of PEN Bangladesh – brings a sharp eye to the grotesqueries of power and privilege. In this exclusive interview with Eastern Eye, he speaks about his passion for food, the moral murkiness of his characters, and why even the most ordinary people can spiral into extraordinary darkness.

Mahima Sharma brings bold new energy to cricket’s old guard

As the world prepares for the second edition of the World Championship of Legends (WCL), one of its most exciting franchises, the Meteora England Champions, is being led by a compelling force. Mahima Sharma is not just making her mark in cricket – she is quietly redefining leadership in a male-dominated industry.

In an industry long regarded as a boys’ club, Sharma brings a refreshingly unapologetic approach. She is strategic, deeply rooted in her love for the game, and proudly feminine. “Cricket has always felt like home to me,” she says. “I come from a culture where cricket is an emotion, and stepping into this role carries a great deal of responsibility. Growing up, I saw very few women leaders in cricket. To now find myself in this position 15 years later feels like coming full circle.”
