LAHORE: The 8th Infotech Golf Championship will be contested today (Saturday) over 18 holes stroke play format here at the Royal Palm Golf and Country Club Course. Over 100 aspiring golf champions will line up at all the 18 tees in groups of four to charge off, once they hear the sound of a shot gun at exactly 10:30am. The appearance of Abbas Ali Khan, Sardar Murad, Mohsen Zafar, Amir Mehmood, Azfar Hassan and Faisal Ali Malik in the contest make it formidable and will somewhat dampen the optimism being felt by other hopefuls. The list of special invitees includes names like Atif Bajwa, Asad IA Khan, Irfan Raja, Taimoor Shabbir, Saleem Ghauri and Hashim Butt. The host of the championship Naseer Akhter hopes the participants will enjoy their golf and play well. | | See Also in Sports News

Dhaka: The first taste of the big stage can either galvanise a team to play fearlessly or trigger stage fright. For South Africa Women, making its first semifinal appearance at the ICC Women's World Twenty20, it was, sadly, the latter.
In spin-friendly conditions, Anya Shrubsole took 2 for 12 in an incisive opening burst of swing bowling for England, before South Africa fell into a hole of its own making with some lackadaisical running resulting in five run-outs. That reduced England's chase ... Full Story | |
