India's 16-year-old sensation Shafali Verma now has the highest strike-rate in Women's T20Is. The opening batter has scored 438 runs in the shortest format of the game at a strike-rate of 147.97 and has surpassed South Africa's Chloe Tryon and Australia's Alyssa Healy. The official handle of the T20 World Cup posted the stat on Twitter and captioned the post as: "Highest career strike rates in women's T20Is (min. 200 runs)--Shafali Verma - 438 runs at 147.97, Chloe Tryon - 722 runs at 138.31, Alyssa Healy - 1,875 runs at 129.66, the 16-year-old is top of the tree". India entered the semifinals of the women's T20 World Cup after Shafali Verma's 34-ball 46 followed by a superlative performance from the bowlers helped the team notch up a narrow four-run win over New Zealand in Melbourne on Thursday.

Hello and welcome to this episode of DePress Room, my name is Amal Chowdhury and today we will be talking about how over the years the climate has changed in Australia. Australia was already grappling with extreme heat and one of the worst droughts on record when devastating bushfires tore through the bone dry land. For months, the infernos have raged through Australia's southeast, leaving parts of the country choking under some of the worst air pollutions in the world.

Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar on Sunday came out of retirement for one over to face Australia's Ellyse Perry during the innings break of the Bushfire relief fundraiser match between Ponting XI and Gilchrist XI. Ellyse Perry bowled four balls to Tendulkar, and the Master Blaster managed to score a boundary on the first ball of the over. The rest of the two balls were bowled by Sutherland. When Tendulkar was batting, Australia's women's team did the fielding duties.

Here's how the over panned out:

Sachin Tendulkar Vs Ellyse Perry: Ball 1: Leg glance for FOUR. Ball 2: Square of the wicket for TWO. Ball 3: Down the leg side for ZERO. Ball 4: Square Cut for ZERO.

Sachin Tendulkar Vs Sutherland: Ball 5: Cover drive in 30-Yard Circle. Ball 6: Straight drive.

Taking to Twitter, Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar, who is currently in Australia as he will be coaching the Ponting XI in the upcoming Bushfire Bash, posted a couple of pictures of his favourite corner in the stadium

Since 2008, Indian banker-turned-environmentalist Pavan Sukhdev has been warning the world about the kind of climate catastrophe currently unfolding in countries such as Brazil and Australia.
