AP/PTI(AP06_24_2024_000010A)(AP)If South Africa’s batters are honest with themselves, it should have never come down to Jansen and Rabada having to finish the chase. Find out howBut South Africa seemed to respond well to the change in the equation on resumption of play. West Indies had recovered nicely from 5/2 thanks to an 81-run stand between Kyle Mayers and Chase for the third wicket. If South Africa hadn’t sneaked to victory, familiar criticism about the players squandering a winning position would have resurfaced.

How Nigeria’s Creatives Auction is helping African visual artists reach global creative economy
Launched January 2022, Creatives Auction is “driven by a deep commitment to empower African visual artists”, says Priscilla Asonibare, the startup’s founder and CEO, aiming to elevate their impact on the global creative economy. Despite this, many visual artists on the continent are often perceived as mere hobbyists, Asonibare said, lacking the support needed to forge sustainable careers. “Our mission is to challenge this narrative, creating pathways for future generations of visual artists to thrive and build sustainable careers in the creative industry,” she said. The inception of Creatives Auction is deeply rooted in Asonibare’s personal journey, and passion for the arts. “Our unique value proposition is our deep understanding of the African art scene and our commitment to showcasing and supporting local talent.

T20 World Cup |Cool South Africa edge out West Indies to enter semi-final
North Sound, Antigua: South Africa's golden generation of white-ball cricketers took a big step towards erasing the "eternal chokers" tag by keeping their composure to enter the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup, beating a formidable West Indies by three wickets in a thrilling rain-truncated Super 8s game. After part-time magician and full-time wrist spinner Tabraiz Shamsi (3/27), along with his slow bowling colleagues Keshav Maharaj (1/24) and skipper Aiden Markram (1/28), restricted West Indies to a manageable 135 for 8, South Africa achieved the revised target of 123 with five balls to spare. With this win, South Africa topped Group 1 followed by defending champions England as the second semifinalist from it. Tristan Stubbs (29 off 27 balls), one of the most talked-about among young T20 batters, set up the chase in company of Heinrich Klaasen (22 off 10 balls) for the South Africans. Equally praiseworthy was Kagiso Rabada's copybook cover drive off Roston Chase when South Africa required 9 off 7 balls.

Change in wind direction prompts worry about more North Korean trash balloon launches toward South
SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea is monitoring an expected change in the wind direction on Monday that could allow North Korea to send more trash-carrying balloons across their heavily armed border, in their latest bout of tit-for-tat psychological warfare. South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff spokesperson Lee Sung Joon told reporters Monday that the military is closely monitoring North Korean moves because northerly or northwesterly winds, favorable for North Korean balloon launches, were forecast on Monday. North Korea said its balloon campaign was a tit-for-tat action against South Korean activists who flew political leaflets critical of its leadership across the border. AdvertisementThe South Korean military didn’t say how it would respond if North Korea conducts a new round of balloon launches. North Korea has reacted to past South Korean loudspeaker broadcasts and civilian balloon activities by firing rounds across the border, prompting South Korea to return fire, according to South Korea.

South Africa qualify for semifinals of T20 World Cup, beat West Indies by 3 wickets
South Africa's golden generation of white-ball cricketers took a big step towards erasing the "eternal chokers" tag by keeping their composure to enter the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup, beating a formidable West Indies by three wickets in a thrilling rain-truncated Super 8s game here.

Equally praiseworthy was Kagiso Rabada's copybook cover drive off Roston Chase when South Africa required 9 off 7 balls. It was an unfair rain-rule in the 1992 ODI World Cup that saw South Africa bow out of the semi-finals against England and often the Proteas found ways to lose important games of cricket. Maharaj bowled a dream delivery for a classical left-arm spinner to get rid of of West Indies skipper Powell.

President Putin’s Visit to North Korea: Upending Asian Security
On June 20, Russian President Vladimir Putin made his first visit to North Korea in 24 years. North Korea and Russia have been edging closer over the past year, seen when Kim Jong Un made a six day visit to Russia in September. North Korea is now out from under UN sanctions and will have dual lifelines to the rest of the world. Most importantly for Asian security, Russia, China and North Korea have pierced America’s Pacific strategic containment policy designed to hem in China. South Korea and Japan were so alarmed that South Korea immediately announced it would supply arms to Ukraine.
