T20 World Cup 2022: Key moments from final clash between England and Pakistan

<p>Norway's third seed Casper Ruud downed ATP Finals debutant Felix Auger-Aliassime 7-6(4) 6-4 on Sunday to kick-start his round-robin campaign in the season-ending tournament.</p>

<p>Canadian Auger-Aliassime has been in sublime form at the end of the season, winning three tournaments in a row before a semi-final run at the Paris Masters, but was not at his best in the opening match in Turin.</p>

<p>Although he fired 26 winners past world number four Ruud, they were offset by 26 unforced errors as the Norwegian wrapped up the victory to get on the board in the Green Group, which also has top seed Rafa Nadal and American Taylor Fritz.</p>

<p>"I think this is some of the best level that I've played since the U.S. Open," said Ruud, who reached the final of the year's last Grand Slam in New York.</p>

<p>"The last couple of months have been a little bit of a struggle, I have to honestly say that, but you have to accept it as well. You will face difficult moments in your career, and maybe these last couple of months was one of those."</p>

<p>Auger-Aliassime had won 16 matches in a row to win titles in Florence, Antwerp and Basel last month.</p>

<p>But Ruud, a semi-finalist last year, stamped his authority in the tiebreak and did not face a single break point in the match as he beat the Canadian for the second time this year.</p>

<p>"Felix has been on a roll this fall and I knew he was going to come out strong," Ruud added.</p>

<p>"I knew if I wanted to have any chance against any of the guys in my group I would have to bring my A-game and today I was able to do so."</p>

<p>Nadal plays Fritz later on Sunday.</p>

Casper Ruud downs debutant Felix Auger-Aliassime in ATP Finals opener

<p>Aston Villa continued their fine start under Unai Emery by coming from behind to win 2-1 at Brighton &amp; Hove Albion on Sunday as two goals from striker Danny Ings helped them to get their first away victory in the Premier League for six months.</p>

<p>Villa, who beat Manchester United 3-1 last Sunday in Spanish coach Emery's first game since succeeding Steven Gerrard, climbed to 12th in the table on 18 points after 15 games. Brighton are seventh on 21 after 14 matches.</p>

<p>Brighton took the lead in the opening minute when Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister intercepted a pass from Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez to Douglas Luiz outside the area and lashed the ball into the net. The strike, after 49 seconds, was Brighton's fastest ever goal in the Premier League.</p>

<p>Ings hauled Villa back into the game with a penalty, powering the ball past Robert Sanchez from the spot in the 20th minute after Lewis Dunk had tripped John McGinn.</p>

<p>The striker then put Villa in front in the 54th minute with a deft piece of skill and finish from inside the area after Luiz took revenge on Mac Allister by mugging the Argentine outside the box and slipping the ball to Ings.</p>

<p>Brighton, who lost midfielder Adam Lallana to injury early in the match, dominated the latter stages of the game but missed a flurry of chances and had a strong penalty appeal turned down when Solly March was felled by Lucas Digne.</p>

<p>The defeat halted Brighton's impressive three-game winning streak which included a 4-1 win over Chelsea and a 3-1 victory at Arsenal in the League Cup on Wednesday.</p>

<p>Mac Allister and coach Roberto De Zerbi were both critical of the referee for not penalising Villa's time wasting and also felt they should have been awarded the penalty.</p>

<p>"In the second half there was no game. They wasted time. The referee let them waste time. We didn't play as much as we wanted to. That's the way they want to play football," Mac Allister told the BBC.</p>

<p>Italian coach De Zerbi added: "I think we speak always about fair play in the Premier League. I didn't see it today.</p>

<p>"I have one idea, one opinion but I don't want to speak about this. I say to watch again the first penalty for them and the second for March and you can understand everything."</p>

<p>T20 World Cup 2022 is an example that shows how India's star batter Suryakumar Yadav mesmerises the fans with his towering sixes and brilliant boundaries. But who would have thought his simple and plain tweets will also go viral?&nbsp;</p>

<p>India's T20 World Cup campaign ended with a heartbreak after the team lost the semi-final clash against England, a team that emerged as the trophy winner as they beat Pakistan in the final at Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday (November 13).&nbsp;</p>

<p>Despite India's knockout-stage exit, Suryakumar Yadav emerged as one of those players who proved their mettle. In the six matches he played in the tournament, Yadav scored a total of 239 runs at a strike rate of 189.68.&nbsp;</p>

'The Mirza Malik Show': Sania Mirza, Shoaib Malik to appear in a show amid divorce rumours

<p>Former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar has defended the Rohit Sharma-led side that was ousted from the knockout stage of the T20 World Cup 2022 after losing to England in the semi-final.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Team India faced flak after their performance in the semis. Former English captain Michael Vaughan called India the "worst underperforming white-ball team in history".&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tendulkar also said that he was disappointed at the humiliating loss. However, he urged the critics not to "judge" the side based on one defeat.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During the semis on Thursday, England outclassed India and defeated the Men In Blue by ten wickets at Adelaide Oval after the batting line-up failed to fire, posting a total of a modest 168/6.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, in a recent video to the news agency, the legendary batter said, "It was a tough game for us, 170 for no loss….that’s a bad defeat. Rather disappointing."&nbsp;</p>

<p>He added, "But also, let’s not judge our team only by this performance because we have been world number one T20 side as well. To get to that number one spot, it does not happen overnight. You have to play good cricket over a period of time and that is what the team has done."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"By no means I’m trying to say that these performances are okay, players also did not want to go out and fail. But every day it doesn’t happen. In sport, these ups and downs are there. It cannot be that victory is ours and losses are theirs. We have to be in it together," the Master Blaster further said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the US midterm election 2022, Herschel Walker managed to hold Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock, who is seeking a full term after winning the seat in a runoff in January 2021. The US Senate contest in Georgia is headed for a December runoff, media projections showed.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The race in Georgia is extremely crucial as it may decide the future control of Congress, which remained in the balance as several key races were yet to be decided, for example, Nevada and Arizona.&nbsp;</p>

France gears up to make solar panels mandatory to cover large car parks

<p>A top Pakistani journalist, who works for a local media outlet Dunya TV, said that Arshad Sharif's death was "premeditated" and he was tortured and brutalised for three hours before being shot.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sharif, a well-known journalist, was killed in Kenya last month. Earlier, the media reported that he was shot dead by police in a case of "mistaken identity".&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now, shocking claims have emerged over the circumstances that apparently led to the death.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On his popular TV programme "On the Front" which aired on Dunya News on Wednesday, senior journalist Kamran Shahid made the claims, backing it up with "leaked photos" of the autopsy report of Sharif.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Shahid alleged that Sharif was mercilessly tortured for almost three hours before being shot, and also his nails were chipped and ripped from his fingers. Shahid claimed that the fingers and ribs of the slain journalist were also broken.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Terming it a "premeditated assassination", Shahid also claimed that Sharif was taken out of the vehicle, and to kill him, shots were fired from close range on the back of his head.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“At eight o clock on the night of October 23, Arshad Sharif was shot while going in the car with Khurram, who took him (Arshad Sharif) by a longer way instead of the usual one on the day the anchor was martyred,” he added.&nbsp;</p>
