New Zealand's openers Tim Seifert and Finn Allen rewrote the Twenty20 World Cup record books on Tuesday, pummelling the United Arab Emirates' bowling attack in a stunning 10-wicket victory in Chennai, Reuters reported. 

The duo chased down UAE's competitive target of 174 with more than four overs to spare, their unbeaten partnership of 175 eclipsing the record for the highest stand for any wicket at the men's T20 World Cup.

"I didn't know that. Not much of a stats guy, but we'll take it," Seifert said after picking up his second player of the match award, according to Reuters. 

Opener Sahibzada Farhan hit a solid half-century while spinner Usman Tariq grabbed three wickets as Pakistan downed the United States by 32 runs in a T20 World Cup Group A game in Colombo, Sri Lanka, Aljazeera reported. 

Twenty-nine-year-old Farhan hit five sixes and six fours in his 41-ball 73 and was aided by a brilliant 32-ball 46 by Babar Azam (four fours, one six) to guide Pakistan to a strong 190-9 total on Tuesday at the Singhalese Sports Club ground.

Their spinners then checked the inexperienced USA batting, with Tariq taking 3-27 and Shadab Khan 2-26 to restrict their opponents to 158-8 in 20 overs, according to Aljazeera. 

Manchester United fan Frank Illet has had to go back to square one following his side’s 1-1 draw at West Ham United in the Premier League on Tuesday after the internet sensation was denied a first haircut since October 2024, Reuters reported. 

Illet has vowed not to cut his hair until United win five games in a row, and his trip to the barber was tantalisingly close after the team's interim manager Michael Carrick steered the Red Devils to four victories on the trot.

Illet’s quirky gesture has gained global attention, as much an indictment of United’s patchy form over the last few years as anything else, and he is up to 1.3 million followers on Instagram, according to Reuters. 

New coach, same problem for Chelsea.

Liam Rosenior looked on course to oversee the Blues' fifth straight Premier League win since his arrival before a depleted Leeds United battled from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, Reuters reported. 

The failure to hold on to all three points means Chelsea have now dropped 17 from winning positions this season, 15 of them at home.

Yet another Premier League home defeat left Tottenham Hotspur looking over their shoulder at the relegation zone and manager Thomas Frank nearer the exit door on Tuesday as Newcastle United eased their own slump with a 2-1 victory in north London, Reuters reported. 

Last season's Europa League winners and qualifiers for this season's Champions League last-16 were booed off after Jacob Ramsey sealed a rare away win for Eddie Howe's side.

Tottenham would have found themselves only three points above the drop zone had it not been for Manchester United's Benjamin Sesko scoring a stoppage-time equaliser to deny 18th-placed West Ham United a 1-0 win, according to Reuters. 

The International Day of Women and Girls in Science (IDWGS) is being observed across the globe today.

The Day underscores the urgency of increasing participation of women and girls in science and technology to close the gender gap and spur inclusive development.

The United Nations had passed a resolution on December 22, 2015 to mark the IDWGS every year on February 11. 

The Day has been marked since 2016. The theme of the Day for this year is, 'Synergizing AI, Social Science, STEM and Finance: Building Inclusive Futures for Women and Girls'. 

Giving a message on this occasion, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres underlined, "We must ensure that every girl can imagine a future in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), and that every woman can thrive in her scientific career." 

According to UNESCO, women, however, comprise less than one third of the world's researchers.

The Election Commission (EC) is launching a nationwide voter education campaign in a bid to make the House of Representatives elections scheduled for March 5.  

The voter education drive will run from February 15 to March 1 so that the voting process would be made easier. It would also help reduce the number of invalid votes.

Every ward will have a volunteer for voter education. There are 6,743 wards in 753 local levels across the country. 

The volunteers reach every household and make aware the people on the role of voting. 

Sample ballot papers are used to educate the voters, according to Spokesperson at EC, Narayan Prasad Bhattarai. 

Even a contact person will be in place at each local level for monitoring the voter education.
