The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced on Saturday the Playing XI for the first T20I match against Zimbabwe scheduled to be played tomorrow at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo. The three-match series will be played from December 1 (Sunday) to December 5 (Thursday). Led by Salman Ali Agha, the playing XI features young and strong players including Saim Ayub, Omair Bin Yousuf, Usman Khan, Tayyab Tahir, Muhammad Irfan Khan and Jahandad Khan. The bowling side features Muhammad Abbas Afridi, Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed and Sufyan Moqim. Earlier, skipper Agha said that the team’s first priority is to win the series. “We won the one-day series, now our target is to win the T20I series,” he stressed. “We have to give young players maximum opportunity in this series,” said the captain while speaking during a press conference in Bulawayo today. Agha said that there will be new faces in the T20I series, adding that the team will maintain its momentum in the shortest format of the game. “We will try to play aggressively.” The captain said that the T20I squad has good bowlers. He added that he wants the youngsters to play and enjoy the game, stressing that the young players have performed well in the domestic cricket and they should be given a chance. Talking about the opponents, Agha said Zimbabwe is a good team with match winners, but the team will try to control them. “The Zimbabwean team has proven to be tough on home ground,” he added. On Thursday, the Men in Green inflicted a 99 runs defeat on Zimbabwe in the third One Day International to win the series by 2-1. Kamran Ghulam’s maiden century, followed by a combined bowling effort, steered Pakistan to a resounding victory over Zimbabwe in the ODI series decider.

Inzaghi, a former striker renowned for his goal-scoring exploits with AC Milan and the Italy national team, was seen as a shrewd appointment when he took over the reins at Benevento in 2019. His brother, Simone Inzaghi, has enjoyed success as the head coach of Lazio, leading the Roman club to multiple top-four finishes in Serie A. However, Filippo's tenure at Benevento has been marred by inconsistency and underperformance.
ROCKVILLE, Md. – My sister told me not to gloat. But Democrats are eating a giant helping of crow since voters delivered a stunning victory to Donald Trump after spending months – years, really – claiming he was a racist, a wannabe dictator, Adolf Hitler and a threat to democracy. Somehow this racist dictator was able to assemble a new coalition of black, Hispanic, middle-class and working-class voters. Maybe it’s because nobody wants to live in the kind of country that the Biden-Harris administration and its leftist bedfellows were creating. Voters rejected the lax border measures championed by Joe Biden and the incompetent man supposedly in charge of homeland security, Alejandro Mayorkas. Turns out even people in blue America don’t like it when their groceries cost more and they feel less safe. I must admit I had misgivings about Trump and his election denial after January 6th, but Nancy Pelosi’s hijacking of the House’s special investigating committee shifted my perspective. There was no world in which Trump could have come out of that committee without being scarred. So why did she have to overreach? It didn’t seem fair. And the ensuing lawfare waged against him only strengthened my support for him, and my feeling that there was nothing the opposition wouldn’t do to get him. The negativity spread to the mainstream media, where coverage of Trump was wildly slanted. Even the owner of The Washington Post warned that the media was losing the trust of its audience. Seniors get their news from cable and young people get it from podcasts and social media. Trump’s freewheeling three-hour interview with Joe Rogan helped him capture that vote. Kamala Harris evaded the Rogan invitation. She was a terrible candidate, and the conga line of celebrities her campaign relied on couldn’t obscure that fact. Some of the same Democrats who tried to tell us Biden wasn’t in decline then tried to tell us Harris was an exciting, transformative force. Please. Trump, hardened and informed by his first cabinet selections, has moved with warp speed to assemble his cabinet. Some of his most controversial picks may be intended to scare some deep state bureaucrats into resigning. Matt Gaetz did not make it even to a committee hearing. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard will need to pass Senate scrutiny, but compared with the clown show Biden assembled, they look mainstream. Trump is pressing for recess appointments. A bad idea. The Senate has the role of advise and consent. It can weed out some of the more troublesome picks, and Trump will be better for it. Republicans will have the Senate majority. No qualified candidate will be denied. The federal government is like a house filled with mould that needs a good cleaning. Trump will take care of it. When Covid came, the government was sent home, where many employees remain. He could order everyone to come back to the office full time, and 20% of the workforce would refuse and be gone. Will anyone notice? I doubt it. Trump promises a return to common sense and has been given the tools to accomplish it with an electoral mandate and all three branches of government on his side. He cannot squander it. He must not get bogged down in petty disputes and perceived slights. Our cities need to be safe again, our border secure and our country energy independent. Our elections need to be fair and incorruptible from foreign influence. The United States of America is the strongest and best country in the world. We demean ourselves when we are not at our full potential. Biden and Harris have left a huge mess. Trump is the right choice to fix it. There are things he can do right away to make a difference: close the border, eliminate regulations, end the war on fossil fuels and cancel EV mandates. No matter how maddening Trump can be, the country needs him. The wind is truly at his back. The election was decided not just by MAGA rallygoers but also by millions of voters who’d simply had enough. He should move forward without rancour or grievance, fuelled by the joy of the Trump Shuffle, his robot-like dance that has broken out at UFC fights and across the NFL. I’m going to have the younger members of the family teach it to Maureen on Thanksgiving. As I ease into my twilight years, I want to thank Trump for letting me sleep safely and soundly again.

And Maharashtra assembly polls were no different. What differentiates Maharashtra from other states won by the BJP is the specific strategy the party adopted to turn the tide in its favour in a state where it suffered a setback just four months back. The BJP contested 149 assembly seats and won 132 out of it clocking a strike rate of 89%, making Maharashtra the biggest ever win by the party. The BJP took this battle down to 12,000 swing polling booths out of around one lakh booths in Maharashtra, which helped it wrestle assembly seats in areas where opposition was perceived to be stronger. Team Formation Immediately after the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP appointed union ministers Bhupendra Yadav and Ashwini Vaishnaw as election incharge of Maharashtra. Together the two leaders delivered crucial Madhya Pradesh for the party in 2023. Apart from the two, the BJP has two in-house agencies, Varahe Analytics and Jarvis Consulting which handle the campaign strategy and data intelligence for the party. The Election within Election In September, union home minister Amit Shah met BJP leaders in Maharashtra. At the meeting, Shah is believed to have instructed the leaders to forget that it is an assembly election and focus on polling booths in their respective areas. Jarvis Consulting was asked to figure out the swing seats which the BJP has lost or won over the past few elections with a change in voter pattern.

These included seats of senior party leaders like Devendra Fadnavis and Ashish Shelar. The focus was to win another 70 assembly seats to take the party's tally beyond 125. After an intense exercise, 80 assembly seats were identified where the BJP won or lost the election with 3-4% vote swings. The maximum number of seats out of the identified 80 seats were 31 in the Vidarbha region. Once the seats were identified, the next assignment was to identify swing booths in each of the 80 assembly seats. The party has three broader categorisations of polling booths. The A category booths where the party wins in terms of votes, the B-category booths where it won or lost due to voters changing their minds and the third C-category where it never wins. The area of focus was narrowed down to the B- category booths. After the data mining 12,000 booths were identified as B-category booths which will decide whether the BJP will win or lose the Maharashtra battle. The total booths in Maharashtra assembly elections were 1,00,186 but BJP invested heavily on these 12,000 booths. "This was happening for the first time where we were working on an election within an election where the focus was on only 12% of the polling booths in the entire state," said a BJP leader involved in the campaign. Resource Mobilisation Once the target was set, the resource mobilisation started three months before the elections in September. ET learnt that Bhupendra Yadav, Vaishnaw and Shivprakash, the national joint general secretary of the BJP, ensured that whatever the team requires be made available to them. Varahe was asked to develop special content for these 80 assembly seats focusing on regional and local issues to engage with the voters. Five call centres each with around 200 callers came up at Nagpur , Nasik, Pune , Mumbai and Thane. The 1,000 callers were given 10 to 12 booths each and were asked to keep a one-to-one conversation with the booth level workers at least twice a week on one booth.

Former union minister Bhagwat Karad was asked to handle the gaps at the booth level in terms of team and coordination. The daily tracking started with a target of having a proper team one month before the polling. Focus on Women This was the first election where BJP called women party leaders from other states in large numbers and deputed at least one woman leader in all the 80 assembly seats. Apart from that, the party appointed Mahila Vistaraks in each assembly constituency and provided them a scooty to cover all the listed booths in their assembly. Tiffin meetings with women workers and women leaders from other states were organised on a regular basis. It was ensured that women leaders from other parties in the Mahayuti should be present in the meetings and taken on board. The leaders were also given targets to meet at least 50 women beneficiaries of the Ladki Bahin scheme. As per sources, the exercise started one and half months before the polling and as polling came closer, the pravasi women leaders had developed a rapport with the ground workers as well as voters. Efforts among OBCs One week before Diwali, Bhupendra Yadav is learnt to have called a meeting of OBC leaders and influencers of different castes at the residence of Devendra Fadnavis in Mumbai, discussing and resolving their issues with the government as well as the party. Sources tell ET that throughout the campaign, Yadav was personally managing the OBC community across Maharashtra with a focus on the 80 seats. He travelled in all the zones and attended zonal meetings targeted at the OBC community. In Marathwada, the ground feedback from a few seats was that if Pankaja Munde campaigns on the seats, the party can turn a section of voters. ET learnt that Yadav provided a special helicopter to Munde for four days and she was asked to go wherever she wanted in the area. The helicopter made 16 to 17 landings in a day and the finance department raised the budget issue. But Yadav backed Munde strongly. Madhya Pradesh chief minister Mohan Yadav and Chhattisgarh deputy CM Arun Sao also campaigned in the areas with high concentration of OBC votes. Tribal Turnout With 24 ST reserved assembly seats in the state, tribal voter support was a crucial factor for BJP's success in the election. During the Lok Sabha polls, the party's performance was poor in tribal areas. To bring the tribal to the party fold, the party deployed Nishant Khare, an old RSS ideologue working among tribals in MP with a clear goal of improving the party's performance on ST reserved seats as well as 25 other assembly seats where tribal voters are around 25%. Khare has worked for the party in Madhya Pradesh and other states during Covid and assembly as well as Lok Sabha elections. Sources tell ET that Khare built a team of PESA volunteers who were willing to work for the party during elections. Around 500 volunteers came up to work for the party and they were trained to work in their respective areas. Last four days before the election, 40-50 volunteers were provided bikes with petrol to visit all the tribal areas and prepare the voters for the voting day. On the voting day, they were tasked with five votes each apart from their family members on their booths. The bikers brought the tribal from areas with no roads to the polling stations and this helped increase the voting percentage. Out of 24 ST reserved assembly seats the NDA won 21 seats with BJP winning 10, Shiv Sena winning six and NCP winning five seats. Out of 25 other seats where tribal population was 25% or more, the NDA won all the 25 seats. With the three-month exercise, the BJP was able to increase votes by almost 5% in these constituencies. Out of the 69 assembly seats which the party was sure of winning, it won 64 seats. Out of the 80 seats comprising 12,000 swing booths, the BJP won 68 seats taking the total tally to 132, the highest for the party in the state. While campaign strategists for Shiv Sena and the NCP were quite vocal about the success of their parties, several leaders as well as agencies working for the BJP were reluctant to come on the record in the story. "For other agencies, the party is their client, and they treat it as an assignment. In our case, we are the extended arm of the party, and it is our primary duty to execute what we are tasked with," Diggaj Mogra of Jarvis Consulting, told ET. Bhupendra Yadav is back in Delhi executing his ministerial work. The BJP election machinery quietly left the state and has started working on forthcoming elections.
