In today’s fast-paced world, technology has become an integral part of our lives. From smartphones to smart homes, we rely on technology for almost everything. One of the most significant advancements in technology is the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT refers to the network of devices that are connected to the internet and can communicate with each other. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we live, work, and interact with the world around us. In this article, we will explore the benefits and challenges of IoT and how it is transforming various industries.
The 2023 ODI World Cup Qualifiers are underway and Oman have pulled off a massive victory, defeating Ireland by five wickets on Monday. As the two teams from Group B locked horns against each other at the Bulawayo Athletic Club, Oman stunned Andrew Balbirnie’s Ireland to earn two crucial points.
The Zeeshan Maqsood-led team pulled off an incredible chase and beat Ireland by five wickets and eleven balls to spare. Kashyap Prajapati (72), Aqib Ilyas (52), and captain Masood (59) scored half-centuries to belittle the target set by Ireland.
Despite Mark Adair drawing the first blood (Jatinder Singh) in the fourth over of the Oman innings, the team comfortably chased down a tricky total. While Prajapati and Ilyas provided a solid foundation, stitching a 94-run partnership, captain Maqsood carried forward the momentum.
After the Oman skipper was dismissed, Mohammad Nadeem (46*) with Ayaan Khan (21) and Shoaib Khan (19*) finished the game.
