2017 IPL: Ben Stokes suffers more final-over misery as Rising Pune Supergiant suffer defeat to Delhi Daredevils



Delhi Daredevils 205/4 (20/20 ov); Rising Pune Supergiant 108 (16.1/20 ov)

Delhi Daredevils won by 97 runs

England all-rounder Ben Stokes suffered more final-over punishment during Rising Pune Supergiant’s 97-run defeat to Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League.

Stokes, 25, conceded 23 from his final six balls to bring back memories of his World Twenty20 heartache when Carlos Brathwaite smacked four consecutive sixes to fire West Indies to glory in India just over a year ago.

Stokes had conceded only 18 runs from his first three overs before South Africa all-rounder Chris Morris cut loose, leaving him with figures of 0-41 in Pune.

After Corey Anderson collected a single from the opening ball, Morris hit a four either side of a two before ending the innings with back-to-back sixes to lift Delhi to 205 for four.

Stokes’s England limited-overs teammate Sam Billings struck four fours in a 17-ball 24 opening the innings for Delhi, for whom Sanju Samson blasted 102 off 63 deliveries.

Stokes did not fare much better with the bat as he was caught behind off Pat Cummins for just two in Pune’s unsuccessful run chase.

The result means Delhi move up to third in the table with their first victory of the campaign and Pune are second bottom after two losses and one win.

Top tips

Create and maintain a strong bond between yourself and your child, through sensitivity, responsiveness, touch, talk and play. “The bond you have with your kids is the blueprint for the relationships they will have later on in life,” says Dr Sarah Rasmi, a psychologist.
Set a good example. Practise what you preach, so if you want to raise kind children, they need to see you being kind and hear you explaining to them what kindness is. So, “narrate your behaviour”.
Praise the positive rather than focusing on the negative. Catch them when they’re being good and acknowledge it.
Show empathy towards your child’s needs as well as your own. Take care of yourself so that you can be calm, loving and respectful, rather than angry and frustrated.
Be open to communication, goal-setting and problem-solving, says Dr Thoraiya Kanafani. “It is important to recognise that there is a fine line between positive parenting and becoming parents who overanalyse their children and provide more emotional context than what is in the child’s emotional development to understand.”
 

What is a Ponzi scheme?

A fraudulent investment operation where the scammer provides fake reports and generates returns for old investors through money paid by new investors, rather than through ligitimate business activities.

Cultural fiesta

What: The Al Burda Festival
When: November 14 (from 10am)
Where: Warehouse421,  Abu Dhabi
The Al Burda Festival is a celebration of Islamic art and culture, featuring talks, performances and exhibitions. Organised by the Ministry of Culture and Knowledge Development, this one-day event opens with a session on the future of Islamic art. With this in mind, it is followed by a number of workshops and “masterclass” sessions in everything from calligraphy and typography to geometry and the origins of Islamic design. There will also be discussions on subjects including ‘Who is the Audience for Islamic Art?’ and ‘New Markets for Islamic Design.’ A live performance from Kuwaiti guitarist Yousif Yaseen should be one of the highlights of the day.
