Banking on attention: The need for BFSI marketing to engage customers between UPI and Instagram

Banking on attention: The need for BFSI marketing to engage customers between UPI and Instagram

The financial services sector is at a pivotal juncture as India moves closer to its Digital Bharat vision, with the expectations of a generation of digital natives reshaping legacy institutions. The FINIXX Summit & Awards 2025, which has as its forward-thinking topic "Reimagining BFSI: Powering Digital Bharat Goals," put this change front and center.In order to examine the changing relationship between technology, trust, and consumer engagement in the BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) industry, a diverse group of marketing experts, digital strategists, and financial innovators convened for the summit.Experts discussed how rapidly changing consumer behavior is upending traditional marketing strategies in a fascinating panel titled "The Next-Gen BFSI Consumer: Understanding & Engaging Digital-First Audiences." They also discussed what it will take to foster trust, loyalty, and meaningful engagement in an increasingly app-first and attention-deficit world. The panel, which was presided over by Teamology Softech and Media Services Vice President of Growth and Strategy Lawrence Suchitha, included marketing directors from top BFSI institutions: VP of Digital Marketing at HDFC Bank, Aashir Allana AVP of Social Media Marketing at Tata Capital, Nikita Dilip Gupta SBI General Insurance's Head of Marketing and CSR, Rathin Lahiri Varun Mundra, Motilal Oswal Financial Services' Head of Media & Innovations Vishal Lohia, Hybrid Associate Director of Sales."The BFSI landscape has decisively moved from branch-first to app-first engagement," said Lawrence Suchitha, who opened the debate. Consumers of today need digital experiences that are quick, simple, and integrated—all while maintaining the transparency and trust that have traditionally characterized our industry. "The next-gen customer has never seen a passbook or stepped inside a branch," said Aashir Allana of HDFC Bank, emphasizing the point. They view the bank as an app rather than a physical establishment.Allana asserts that modern consumers evaluate their banking experiences by comparing them to Netflix, Amazon, and Zepto rather than other banks. "They want Zepto-level speed and Netflix-level personalization." Despite their impatience and impulsivity, they have a strong research bent. They expect the application procedure to take three minutes, but they will spend hours comparing credit cards. He pointed out that because of this behavioral mismatch, marketers must reach users "somewhere between Instagram and a UPI app."

This represents an improvement over the original estimate of +4% to +5%. A number of factors, including consistent client spending (without any significant budget cuts or slowdowns) and growing demand for its AI-powered goods and services, underpin the decision to increase the outlook. Long-term scope development with current clients, a robust business environment for new ventures, and a more advantageous competitive environment are all important growth drivers.Arthur Sadoun, Publicis Groupe's chairman and CEO, "Q3 was yet another excellent quarter, exceeding forecasts, with no slowdown in customer demand.  At Publicis, we are proving that artificial intelligence is not a pipe dream but rather a current reality that is propelling our expansion. We are demonstrating once more how our distinct AI-powered methodology may help us acquire market share and establish ourselves as a Category of One.  We achieved organic growth of +5.7%, which significantly widened the gap with our counterparts by over 700bps2. In addition to not seeing any significant reductions in marketing expenditures, we also witnessed a surge in demand for our AI-powered goods and services. This was evident in our Epsilon-powered Connected advertising initiatives, which had high single-digit growth as a result of our capacity to use AI to link influencers, commerce, and paid advertising. Due to the growing demand for customized content, our AI production platform experienced double-digit growth. Additionally, Publicis Sapient maintained its favorable results for the second consecutive quarter thanks to our capacity to create agentic networks for clients that are looking to de-silo their own businesses.We anticipate that this upward trend will continue throughout Q4. Because of this, we are comfortable raising the higher end of our prediction to +5.5% for our 2025 organic growth guidance. Additionally, we are reporting that our already industry-leading margin has improved to just over 18% throughout the course of the year. With net new billings for the first nine months of the year already surpassing our 2024 total, we are now planning for 2026 because of our unparalleled new business track record. For the seventh consecutive year, we anticipate outperforming the industry the following year. I want to express my gratitude to our teams for their exceptional work in getting us to this point and to our clients for their ongoing trust.

In the What The Hell Navya season 2 teaser, Jaya Bachchan declares that romance is out after marriage, while Navya Nanda and Shweta Bachchan reveal shocking information.

On February 1, Navya Naveli Nanda's podcast "What The Hell Navya," which stars mom Shweta Bachchan and grandma Jaya Bachchan, will return for a second season. This time, Navya's YouTube channel will have a video format in addition to their raw chats. The trio is prepared to reveal some information after the teaser was made public today. This season, there's an additional special guest.The Facebook page shared the preview and stated, "On VIDEO, three of our favorite girls are back! This time, our talks really come to life, giving you an up-close look at candid discussions, a ton of laughs, and obviously a lot of "What The Hell's"! A VODCAST for the NEW SEASON of #WhatTheHellNavya! weekly live streams on @NavyaNanda's YouTube channel starting on February 1st.Additionally, Jaya spoke candidly about romance after marriage, stating, "Romance out of the window." Once married, it will no longer be. Navya remarked, "You are sounding like the man in this room," after Shweta declared that she was aware of everything that went on in her house.According to Jaya Bachchan, "physical attraction" plays a crucial role in relationships. Furthermore, she stated that she has no issues if Navya Naveli Nanda decides to have a "child without a marriage."According to seasoned actor Jaya Bachchan, "physical attraction" is crucial to a relationship's longevity. In an interview with her granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda for her podcast, What The Hell Navya, Jaya added that "we couldn't experiment" in "our times." Jaya described the physical component as "very very important" and stated that "love, fresh air, and adjustment" are necessary for a relationship to continue. She added that Navya Naveli Nanda's having a "child without a marriage" doesn't bother her."It will seem strange coming from me, but physical attractiveness and compatibility are also very important," Jaya remarked. We were not allowed to experiment in our day, but the current generation is, and for good reason. Since a durable relationship is also a result of that. It won't survive long if there isn't a physical relationship. I feel that you cannot survive on love, fresh air, and adjustment. It's crucial, really crucial.""Sometimes it's unfortunate, but a lot of the younger generation—of course, we never could, we couldn't even consider it—but even after me, Shweta's and Navya's generations are a different story. They would feel bad about going through it, and I believe that's just wrong. It's alright, and you proceed covertly. The seasoned actor continued, "You can be nice about it if you had a physical relationship and you feel that my relationship hasn't worked out despite that."Jaya also discussed the guidance she gives the next generation. "I'm looking at it very clinically," the woman stated. Given the absence of that feeling, the romance of today...You ought to wed your closest friend, in my opinion. Having a close friend is important. You should talk to them and decide that you'd like to have a child together because you're wonderful and let's get married since that's what society says. It actually doesn't bother me if you have a child without getting married either."Jaya spoke with Navya and her daughter Shweta Bachchan about her opinions. She is the eldest child of Jaya and her actor spouse Amitabh Bachchan. Following their 1973 marriage, they had two children: actor Abhishek Bachchan (1976) and actress Shweta (1974). The next film directed by Karan Johar is Rocky aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, in which Jaya will star. Shabana Azmi, Dharmendra, Alia Bhatt, and Ranveer Singh are also featured in the movie.

Bigg Boss 17 champion Munawar Faruqui says he experienced mental breakdowns in the house and grieved every night.

Bigg Boss 17 champion Munawar Faruqui says he experienced mental breakdowns in the house and grieved every night. "This trophy has cost me a lot."

Munawar Faruqui, the winner of Bigg Boss 17, revealed in an exclusive interview that he has a lot of things to address now that the show is done and that being in the house had a toll on him.Last night, Bigg Boss 17 came to an end with the announcement of Munawar Faruqui as the winner. Along with a brand-new automobile, the stand-up comic also brought home prize money of Rs 50 lakhs. Salman Khan declared Munawar the Bigg Boss 17 winner after she defeated Abhishek Kumar. The outcome has thrilled supporters, but the festivities at Munawar's Mumbai residence, Dongri, have exceeded expectations.Munawar talked to Indiaxpress.com shortly after he was named the Bigg Boss winner. He discussed his journey, how his personal life was dragged on the show, the drama involving Ayesha Khan, and whether or not he hopes to settle down now.Munawar Faruqui, the winner of Bigg Boss 17, has reacted to allegations that the winner of this season was "fixed." The stand-up comedian was asked how he felt about people labeling him a "fixed winner" during an interview with ETimes. He stated that those who are accusing him of being the "fixed winner" ought to watch the entire season in order to learn just how much "scrutiny" he endured. He added that, before to Bigg Boss 17, he would have wished to alter people's "perceptions" of him, but that, at this point, he is aware that he "cannot change their opinion."Munawar Faruqui responded, "Yaar fixed winner ko itna sab go through karna pade toh it can't be a fixed winner (If one has to go through so much scrutiny as a supposed fixed winner, then it can't truly be a fixed winner)," when asked about the Bigg Boss 17 winner being fixed. Everything would have been placed on a plate for me if I had been the fixed winner. The entire season serves as evidence that I have put in a lot of hard work and have nothing to show for it. Those who call me a fixed winner should just wait and watch the entire season to see that it wasn't rigged, is my response to them.""Having said that, people can experience that feeling because, when you have a large following and participate in reality shows, many things are at risk and you may lose some things," he continued. You put up your best effort if you want to win. I believe that I won due of people's affection, but I am unable to influence the minds of those who call me the fixed winner. Mujhe lagta hai ki pyaar hai logon ka. Perhaps I would have wanted to alter people's perceptions before joining Bigg Boss, but I now feel like I can't affect everyone."Munawar Faruqui's victory on Bigg Boss Actor Abhishek Kumar, the first runner-up, has been trending on X (previously known as Twitter) ever since Munawar Faruqui's Bigg Boss victory. Some Bigg Boss watchers believe Abhishek deserved the trophy more than Munawar did. Reports, however, indicate that Munawar may have won the prize by a significant margin in the vote. On Bigg Boss 17, actors Mannara Chopra and Ankita Lokhande placed third and fourth, respectively. Another YouTuber in the top five was Arun Mahashetty.Munawar received the Bigg Boss 17 trophy, a brand-new, fancy car, and a substantial cash award of ₹50 lakh as part of her victory. It's interesting to note that Munawar won a reality show twice, having previously won Lock Upp season 1 in 2022. After actor-host Salman Khan announced Munawar as the winner of the Bigg Boss 17 grand finale on Sunday, Abhishek offered her a firm embrace. After the victor was declared, Abhishek was also spotted hugging Salman and placing his hands on his feet. "Excellent performance, Abhishek," Salman complimented the actor.  

Asian refiners anticipate a boost in demand for jet fuel in 2024 from travel to China and Southeast Asia.

Asian refiners anticipate a boost in demand for jet fuel in 2024 from travel to China and Southeast Asia.

Asian refiners are betting that air travel from China and Southeast Asia will continue to rebound in 2024, with supply movements being led by output from a wave of new Middle East capacity, according to dealers and analysts. In the third quarter of 2023, the number of domestic flights in China exceeded that of 2019; nevertheless, the increase in foreign traffic has been slower to occur but is still increasing.Demand levels will also be determined by a wobbly post-pandemic rebound in southeast Asia, where traffic hasn't yet returned to 2019 levels owing in part to poor flows from China. According to data from consultancy FGE, the total demand for jet fuel in Asia is expected to increase by 20% yearly in the first half, reaching 2.36 million barrels per day (bpd).Average jet fuel/kerosene margins, or "cracks," are expected to contract in Asia by 2024, with rising oil prices possibly as a result of tensions in the Middle East. Shenglan Niu of Rystad predicts cracks to average $16.70 per barrel, while Priti Choudhary of Wood Mackenzie predicts $20.60. The estimated 2023 margins for LSEG were $24.60 per barrel. Observe the following variables in 2024:China's Comeback The third quarter saw a sluggish but steady recovery in China's foreign air travel following the lifting of pandemic restrictions, thanks in part to more flights on longer-haul routes to destinations like Australia and the US. Shenglan Niu, senior oil analyst at Rystad Energy, projects that in the first half of 2024, China would account for half of the growth in jet fuel consumption in Asia year over year, or about 263,000 barrels per day. According to Jefferies analysts, China's foreign flight numbers are expected to reach at least 71% of 2019 levels for the first quarter. According to FGE experts, that percentage will probably increase from an average of 50% to as high as 85% by year's end.shaky southeast According to flight data from OAG, however, capacity for both domestic and international flights in Southeast Asia still trails behind 2019 levels, despite a 34% increase in international seat capacity in January. International tourism has been particularly sluggish to return to Thailand, Vietnam, and Singapore, while the demand for business travel has been reduced by the growing use of videoconferencing, according to FGE experts. As a result, the demand for jet fuel in Asia is expected to reach 2019 levels only in the fourth quarter. "Since the beginning of 2023, foreign tourist arrivals in Thailand have remained stable at 65-70% of 2019 levels due to a gradual resurgence of Chinese tourists," according to FGE. Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore are expected to lead the region's expansion; Singapore alone accounts for around 46,200 bpd of the region's annual first-half demand rise. ADDITIONAL SUPPLIES DEPEND ON REGRADE, MID-EST According to Wood Mackenzie's Choudhary, global jet fuel supply is predicted to roughly match the growth in demand for 500,000 barrels per day in 2024, outpacing that of diesel and gasoline. This will encourage refiners in Asia and the Middle East to shift yields towards jet fuel. Regrade spreads, or the premiums on gasoil paper swaps compared to jet fuel, reached five-year highs in November of last year, which forced sellers to give jet fuel production priority. Refineries in Bahrain, Duqm, and Al Zour are expected to increase their output, which will contribute to an incremental increase in supplies, according to Choudhary. Kpler data indicated that Al Zour can generate up to 106,000 bpd of jet fuel or kerosene at full capacity. In 2023, about 46,000 barrels per day of fuel were exported. The Duqm of Oman  

Snowfall boosts Kashmirs tourism, drawing crowds to Gulmarg and Sonamarg

Snowfall boosts Kashmirs tourism, drawing crowds to Gulmarg and Sonamarg

Snowfall in Kashmir makes visitors and tourism industry participants in Gulmarg and Sonamarg happy.Snowfall in Kashmir has lifted spirits in the travel and tourism sector, igniting happiness among travelers and locals associated with the travel industry.The lack of a big snowfall over the past few months has damaged the sector, with many would-be tourists canceling their plans and tour companies receiving little to no inquiries.The lack of snowfall has resulted in a decrease in the number of tourists visiting the valley, which is unusual given the popularity of destinations like Gulmarg. This has concerned the region's tourism stakeholders.But the snowfall at Chilla-i-Kalan's fag-end, a 40-day severe winter period when the likelihood of snowfall is highest and most often, has cheered both travelers and tourism industry participants.At the resorts of Sonamarg and Gulmarg, hundreds of visitors—including kids—have been taking advantage of the snowfall."After looking at the weather, we decided to postpone our trip, even though we had tickets for January 23. On January 25, we arrived, and we were fortunate to witness the snowfall. Sonamarg was the first place where we saw snowfall, then Gulmarg followed suit. Aninda and Deotima, a tourist couple from Kolkata, exclaimed, "We are so happy to be here," at Gulmarg.They claimed that after snowfall, Kashmir truly appears to be a paradise. After the snowfall, Maharashtra visitor Mohammad Imran claimed he went back to the Gulmarg resort."Two days ago, the earth appeared empty and there was nothing." By God's goodness, snow has fallen, and we are happy to be here. We returned from Srinagar when we heard there was snowfall in Gulmarg," he remarked.Aryan, a teenage traveler from Bangalore who traveled to Kashmir with his sister and parents, described the experience as wonderful. "It feels wonderful. He remarked, taking in the snowfall, "It looks like heaven."At Sonamarg, Ankit Makane, one of a group of fifteen tourists from Mumbai, relished playing in the snow. It actually does feel like heaven. Kashmir is incredibly gorgeous, and the locals are truly remarkable. We had a great time," he remarked.Not only have the tourists been cheered up, but the snowfall has also made the local tourism industry happy. We are grateful for the snowfall. In addition to increasing tourism, it is essential for survival, thus we are extremely glad about it, according to Parvaiz Ahmad, a local Gulmarg tourism service provider. Another stakeholder, Abdul Rashid, stated that although the recent two months' protracted dry period had impacted the earnings of private service providers, the snowfall has been a godsend. "There hasn't been much work over the last two months. Snowfall has brought in more visitors, and snow-related events have begun, according to Rashid.When there was no snowfall at well-known tourist destinations like Sonamarg and Gulmarg, visitors would flock to locations like Sinthan Top, which connects the Anantnag region with Kishtwar and is blanketed in snow for the majority of the year. Authorities have, in the meantime, cautioned visitors and residents going to Sonamarg and Gulmarg. Due to the slick conditions following snowfall, they have stated that only 4X4 vehicles and those equipped with anti-skid chains would be permitted to proceed towards Gulmarg and Sonamarg.The Meteorological Department has predicted that there will likely be light to moderate rain or snow in various areas of the Union Territory during the next two days, with the likelihood of heavy snowfall in a few higher reaches, including the districts of Kupwara, Bandipora, Baramulla, Ganderbal, Shopian, Kulgam, and Anantnag.

Karmma Calling review Enjoyably trashy, with a White Lotus flavor, is Raveena Tandons Revenge version.

Karmma Calling review: Enjoyably trashy, with a White Lotus flavor, is Raveena Tandon's Revenge version.Everyone in Alibag, that little haven of power and money just off Mumbai, is in shock when a strange young woman named Karmma parachutes in. Who is Karmma? From where does she originate? How on earth did she get to purchase the big beach property next to the wealthiest family in the world, the Kothari family?Many hornets in many nests are well and truly astir, and as the elegant, sophisticated Karmma (Namrata Sheth) begins to unpack her wares, we know that something twitchy is about to happen. She takes on resident diva Indrani Kothari (Raveena Tandon), who ruled Bollywood in the 1990s and is now the undisputed empress of her exclusive little patch, and she also catches the eye of the attractive Kothari scion Ahaan (Varun Sood).The show Revenge, adapted by Raveena Tandon, is lighthearted, trashy, and reminiscent of White Lotus. Everyone in the deeply fragrant, tightly knit community of Alibag, that little desert spring of honor and abundance just off of Mumbai, is in disbelief when a mysterious young woman walks in.

Is your insufficient sleep preventing you from losing weight?

Is your insufficient sleep preventing you from losing weight?

You don't consume enough protein. An essential vitamin for weight loss is protein. A high-protein diet has been linked to weight loss and a decreased risk of heart disease, according to numerous studies.Eating a balanced diet and exercising frequently lead to weight loss. You could still be wondering, "Why am I not losing weight?" There are a number of reasons why you might not be losing weight, including the medications you take, the way you exercise, or the way you eat. Even if you follow all the "right" procedures, you could not see any weight loss or the intended outcomes. Continue reading to find out why you may not be dropping pounds.You've probably heard the advice countless times: consume fewer calories if you're attempting to lose weight. However, some people might not be aware that eating too little can also be a factor in weight reduction. Lisa Young, Ph.D., R.D., an adjunct nutrition professor at New York University and nutritionist, confirms that lowering calories too much can actually impede weight reduction. "Restricting calories too much almost always backfires," adds Young. There's a good explanation for that: burning calories requires calories in the body. She draws attention to the similarity to trying to start a fire. To light the fireplace, you must set kindling inside of it.Food should be viewed as a delectable, well-earned pleasure, but it should also be seen as your body's kindling—it speeds up your metabolism, which helps you lose weight. According to Young, when you eat enough, the body uses the food as fuel first and then uses the fat it has been storing as fuel. However, excessive calorie restriction puts your body in "starvation mode," which causes it to begin breaking down lean muscle tissue in order to preserve its energy reserves. In the end, this may reduce metabolism and make weight loss more difficult. The National Institutes of Health state that eating too few calories raises the body's level of the stress hormone cortisol, which not only makes it more difficult to lose weight but is also harmful in a number of other ways.Everybody has varying calorie requirements depending on their activity level, gender, and goals. However, the NIH recommends that women take 2000 calories per day to maintain their weight and 1500 calories per day to shed up to one pound per week. Your body finds it more difficult to carry out the fundamental biological processes that keep you healthy and energized when your calorie intake falls too low. Here are a few indicators that you might not be eating enough to lose weight if you're not sure if you're hitting the quantity that works for you.

Uncovering the Connection Between Alcohol Use and Bowel Cancer in 2024:

Uncovering the Connection Between Alcohol Use and Bowel Cancer in 2024:

By increasing public awareness of the risk factors and symptoms of bowel cancer during Cancer Awareness Month in 2024, we can promote early identification and enhance the prognosis for people who are impacted by the illness.Bowel cancer, commonly referred to as colorectal cancer, is a kind of cancer that affects the rectum and the colon, the large intestine. It happens when aberrant cells in the colon or rectum grow out of control, creating a tumor. This tumor poses a serious risk to one's life because it has the ability to infect nearby tissues and spread to other sections of the body. Although the precise origin of bowel cancer is unknown, risk factors for the disease include age, family history, and certain lifestyle choices like smoking and a diet heavy in processed foods.We all know today that alcohol is bad for us; among the dangerous illnesses it causes is cancer, particularly colorectal cancer. When we inquired about the connection between alcohol consumption and bowel cancer, Dr. Vinay Samuel Gaikwad, Director of Surgical Oncology (The Oncology Centre), CK Birla Hospital, Gurugram, clarified that alcohol enters the intestinal tract and comes into direct contact with the mucosa lining the intestine, stomach, colon, and rectum. Alcohol decomposes into toxic compounds that can destroy your cells' DNA and expose them to mutations that can lead to cancer. Furthermore, drinking too much alcohol can lead to persistent inflammation in the digestive tract, which is another established risk factor for colon cancer.Alcohol's effects on hormones may also have a role in the development of cancer. Your odds can be increased by even modest alcohol consumption, and the risk increases with increased consumption.Although drinking alcohol increases your risk of colon cancer, not everyone who drinks will get colon cancer. But one of the most effective ways to lower your risk of developing this cancer is to take control of your health and cut back on alcohol.

England leads India by 126 runs on Day 3 of the first Test thanks to a century from Ollie Pope.

On day three of the first Test match between England and India, here on Saturday, Ollie Pope's undefeated 148 in the second innings propelled his team to 316 for six at stumps.Ollie Pope's century helped England comeback from a 190-run deficit in the first innings to build a 126-run advantage in the second. They finished with 316 for six.Despite England holding a 126-run lead with four wickets remaining and Ollie Pope reaching 148*, India's bowling coach Paras Mhambrey stated that his team was not under duress.Day 3 of the first Test began with India leading by 175 runs, with Axar Patel hoping to consolidate his position as an all-rounder and a well-positioned Ravindra Jadeja aiming for his fourth Test century. There was a great chance that England would be bowled out of the game. The host broadcaster informed Kevin Pietersen in jest at the conclusion of the day that his request for a flight on Saturday had been turned down. Thanks to a brilliant century from Ollie Pope, England not only made sure India's advantage stayed below 200, but they also built a respectable lead of 126 runs.Day 3 of the first Test began with India leading by 175 runs, with Axar Patel hoping to consolidate his position as an all-rounder and a well-positioned Ravindra Jadeja aiming for his fourth Test century. There was a great chance that England would be bowled out of the game. The host broadcaster informed Kevin Pietersen in jest at the conclusion of the day that his request for a flight on Saturday had been turned down. Thanks to a brilliant century from Ollie Pope, England not only made sure India's advantage stayed below 200, but they also built a respectable lead of 126 runs.It was hardly a perfect day for England. Even Ravichandran Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah, two of India's top players, would concede that Pope may have produced the greatest knock by an international batsman in recent memory. In Chennai in 2021, Joe Root did indeed score a double century, but the circumstances and match setup were very different.Pope amassed 17 boundaries in an innings full of sweeps and reverse sweeps, the majority of which kept him undefeated at 148 off 208 balls. Even after Ashwin destroyed England's skipper Ben Stokes at 163 for 5, India was still 27 runs short of batting again. That's when things started to change in the contest.Ben Foakes and Pope teamed together to put together a crucial 123-run partnership for the sixth wicket. Axar Patel bowled Foakes with a low delivery, but Pope ensured that the England supporters could relax at the end of the game.What does it signify for India, though? With four wickets in hand, including Pope's wicket, England lead by 126 runs. Before they bat in the fourth innings, do they worry? According to bowling instructor Parash Mhambrey, no. We don't have a specific target in mind to chase, since our main goal is to arrive tomorrow morning, take early wickets, and lower their total."By establishing a goal, we are not placing any strain on ourselves. In his news conference following the game, Mhambrey stated, "We just want to bowl in the right places to extract turn and bounce from the wicket." Mhambrey derived his confidence from the fact that the pitch's turn is simple to negate because it is not a sharp turn.

India defeated Ireland by 201 runs in Bloemfontein thanks to their dominance with the bat and the ball.

India defeated Ireland by 201 runs in Bloemfontein thanks to their dominance with the bat and the ball. Naman Tiwari's 4/53 and Saumy Pandey's 3/21 supported Musheer Khan's explosive century as India easily won.Despite the absence of a few important players, Australia won by 225 runs in Kimberley. They nearly reached 300 thanks to Harry Dixon's 89 before the bowlers helped Zimbabwe be dismissed for just 71.Scorecard Ireland chose to field after winning the toss. In Bloemfontein, India was in cruise control.Ireland's disciplined approach limited India's opportunities to score in the first overs. In the seventh over, Arshin Kulkarni produced India's first boundary with a free-flowing drive.Adarsh Singh opened his arms against John McNally in the ninth over after being cautious earlier. He hammered the medium pacer for two consecutive fours, but as he attempted to go for a third straight four, he was soon caught behind. While Musheer Khan continued to move the ball about, India was able to maintain a four-run average each over. When Kulkarni attempted to withdraw McNally and force the scoring rate, Ireland had another. But the stroke's lack of strength ultimately proved to be his undoing.After reaching the wicket, captain Uday Saharan and Musheer rebuilt the innings together. The first boundary of the pair's stand came in the 31st over as they batted patiently before raising their arms. After that, the scoring rate increased, culminating in a combative play during the last Powerplay. In the 42nd over, India scored 200 runs.Saharan left the game in the 45th over, having made a solid 75, but Musheer persisted till the very end. After reaching a well-deserved hundred, he and the belligerent Aravelly Avanish led India to 300. And even though India lost four wickets in the final 15 balls, a cameo from Sachin Dhas (21* from 9) made sure that the team reached the threshold.Musheer finished with 118 runs, nine fours and four sixes. Ireland didn't lose a wicket in the first overs, but the Indian bowlers also managed to keep them under check. When Saumy Pandey dismissed Jordan Neill in the sixth over, the Boys in Blue took the lead. Naman Tiwari made an instant impression in his fifth over after having trouble with his lines early in the innings. In the course of four balls, he removed Ryan Hunter and Phillipe le Roux from the game.In the second Powerplay, Ireland's innings collapsed. The opening ball of the eleventh over was a short ball that gave Tiwari another wicket. After exactly six balls, Pandey reached his second thanks to a deft stumping by Avanish. And when the disciplined Dhanush Gowda came back for his second spell, Murugan Abhishek's amazing aerial catch helped him get off to a great start.In the fourteenth over, Pandey claimed his third wicket as the wickets kept falling. Then in the fifteenth, Tiwari struck again, leaving Ireland eight down. Ireland managed to hold on for a little while longer thanks to a strong ninth-wicket combination between Daniel Forkin and Oliver Riley, but an overwhelming Indian victory appeared certain. In the 29th over, Ireland was dismissed by bowling. Musheer Khan's game-winning ton earned him the title of Player of the Match. India has easily won Group A with its decisive victory.
