Rain and a wet outfield delayed the toss for the Women’s World Cup final between India and South Africa in Mumbai on Sunday. Both teams are looking for their first title in the 50-over tournament, with a full house expected at the 45,000-capacity DY Patil Stadium. Toss was delayed by 30 minutes to 3pm (2:30pm PKT) with the start revised to 3:30pm, although more drizzle threatened to push that back again.

New Zealand batting great Kane Williamson announced his retirement from Twenty20 internationals on Sunday, saying the team needed “clarity” ahead of next year’s World Cup. Williamson will depart the shortest format as his country’s second-highest run-scorer, tallying 2,575 runs from 93 matches, including 18 half-centuries, at an average of 33.4.

We seemed to be moving toward a healthier situation when I caught him “day drinking.” He admitted he had a drinking problem…

October was supposed to be the month when long-awaited crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) finally hit U.S. markets. Deadlines for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to approve or deny several spot crypto ETF applications were lined up throughout the month. But when the U.S. government shut down, the process froze — and deadlines stopped mattering.Now November could take October’s place. Several issuers are using a procedural route that doesn’t require an active SEC sign-off. It’s the same approach that allowed four crypto ETFs — two from Canary Capital, one from Bitwise and one from Grayscale — to start trading earlier…
