H o roScoPe ArieS (March 21 - April 20): Natives of Aries are often confident and energetic people, who should consider setting up arrangements for larger family gatherings like reunions. Natives of this sign are often driving forces in the professional and political areas. TAUrUS (April 21 - May 21): The obstacles you face at the moment may be daunting but you have what it takes to overcome them. Don't try to avoid what fate sends your way over the next few days - it is designed to strengthen you, not destroy you. GeMiNi (May 22 - June 21): There may be times when you would like nothing better than to cut yourself off from the world at large but that simply isn't possible. Make the best job of what you are expected to do and try to steal a few hours for yourself later on. cANcer (June 22 - July 23): Some things are important and some things are not and if you don't yet know the difference then it's time you found out. This should be a productive time for you but you need to learn how to say "no" when people ask you for favours. Leo (July 24 - Aug. 23): If you are not yet getting the rewards and the respect you deserve don't worry, in a matter of days your name will be on everybody's lips. The sun in Aries makes you both creative and adventurous, so do something out of the ordinary. VirGo (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23): You may be tempted to go on a journey today but the planets warn it could lead you in some unforeseen directions, so make sure you take a map and don't promise to be at a certain place at a specific time - because you won't make it. LiBrA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23): At some stage over the next few days you will see or hear something that makes you view the world in a new light. A change of perspective will lead to new ways of thinking, ways that answer all the questions you have been asking. ScorPio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22): Find out why a partner or loved one is behaving so erratically, then do what you can to assist them.

SAGiTTAriUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21): Yours is a sign of boundless selfconfidence and that's good because you will need it over the next few days. If you are not happy in your current environment don't be afraid to pack a bag and take off for a few days. cAPricorN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20): You seem to lack purpose at the moment but that will change if you look for ways to express yourself. Whatever challenges come your way, and there will be plenty, see them as opportunities to be embraced rather than as threats to be avoided. AQUAriUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19): Stay calm and keep setbacks in perspective. If you can learn to take yourself a bit less seriously over the coming week then your problems, such as they are, will fade into insignificance. Rest assured your successes will always outnumber your failures. PiSceS (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20): It does not matter if other people approve of what you are doing, it matters only that it means something to you. The very last thing you should be doing now is asking friends and family for their opinions - it's your views that count. On Friday, Ali Abbas Zafar announced on Twitter that Priyanka Chopra is not going to be a part of his forthcoming film, Bharat, that also stars Salman Khan. He tweeted, "Yes Priyanka Chopra is no more part of @Bharat_TheFilm & and the reason is very very special , she told us in the Nick of time about her decision and we are very happy for her ... Team Bharat wishes @priyankachopra loads of love & happiness for life." Yes Priyanka Chopra is no more part of and the reason is very very special , she told us in the Nick of time about her decision and we are very happy for her ... Team Bharat wishes happiness for life ?????? Rumours now suggest that either Katrina Kaif or Jacqueline Fernandez is likely to replace Priyanka in the film. They both have worked with Salman in big ticket projects in the past. Now, a source has been quoted by DNA saying that Katrina has agreed to join the project. The source said, "Producers Atul and Alvira Agnihotri share a warm relationship with Katrina Kaif and when this whole mishap happened, they just called her and sorted out her dates. She will play the lead opposite Salman Khan now." However, Priyanka is still a part of Shonali Bose's The Sky Is Pink. Priyanka will play a mother in the movie which also stars Farhan Akhtar and Zaira Wasim. Roy Kapur Films shared a short video on their Instagram page of the crew getting together and ideating about the film. Priyanka joined the film earlier this month. i would be a fool to make a biopic on myself : Akshay Has Katrina Kaif already replaced Priyanka Bollywood is witnessing a rising trend of adapting real-life stories for biopics but Akshay Kumar says he would never make a movie on himself. Recently, Rajkumar Hirani's Sanju, a biopic on Sanjay Dutt, did great business at the box office but was criticised for whitewashing the actor's image. "I would never ever make a biopic on myself and I will never write a book on myself," Akshay said in an interview. "There are so many amazing stories in history, like Tapan Das (his character in Gold), Arunachalam Muruganantham on whose life Padman was based, who have steered India in a positive direction. I would be a fool to make a biopic on myself. I would never even think of it, it will be a shallow thing to do for myself. I want to make biopic on real heroes and not reel heroes," he added. Hindi cinema has been churning out biopics one after the other, with a string of films such as Super 30, Manto, Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, a film on Olympic champion Abhinav Bindra and Prime Minister Narendra Modi already lined-up for theatrical release. Asked if the industry is going overboard with biopics, Akshay said, "It is a known (fact) in our industry that if something works, almost everyone does the same thing and this is not just about biopic or sports biopic or something else. If a few films fail, everyone will run after something else."Besides Gold, the actor also has 2.0, Housefull 4 and Kesari in his kitty.
SPORTS MONDAy, JULy 30, 2018 9 Bangladesh's players celebrate their 2-1 series win against West Indies on Saturday. Photo: AP Bangladesh still need to improve says Mashrafe Sports Desk: Bangladesh cannot lose sight of their need to improve consistently after the ODI series win over West Indies, their captain Mashrafe Mortaza has warned. The 18- run win in Basseterre on Saturday came after Tamim Iqbal, Mahmudullah and Mashrafe combined to put up a big score, before Rubel Hossain and Mehidy Hasan Miraz took key wickets to stall the home side's progress, leaving Rovman Powell, despite his big-hitting, too much to do in the last 10 overs. "If you consider the last three or four months, we really needed to win this series," Mashrafe said. "It is a good sign ahead of the Asia Cup. But we have a lot to improve. A series win isn't everything. We have missed out on a lot of areas. Rubel did exactly what the team needed, which is a sign of our improvement but we need them consistently. We need to improve in our batting too. "I think we were still short by 20-25 runs. We should have taken an early wicket because they have a top-heavy line-up. Getting rid of [Evin] Lewis early meant that Gayle had a bigger challenge. He was going well but Rubel's breakthrough eased it for the rest of the bowlers. Getting regular India awaits Kohli magic in England Tests Sports Desk: Virat Kohli has plundered Test runs in virtually every corner of the cricket world but England is a scoring desert for India's superstar captain ahead of a tricky five-match series, reports BSS. He returned from his first England series in 2014 with just 134 runs from five Tests, unable to counter swing bowlers. India, with Mahendra Singh Dhoni as captain, lost the series 3-1. The 29-year-old Kohli is now back in England as reigning International Cricket Council player of the year and the world's leading batsman with an average of over 53 in 66 Tests. He has hit 301 runs in six limited-overs matches on the tour. India won the Twenty20 series and lost the one-day internationals, but Kohli knows that his Test performance - starting in Edgbaston on Wednesday Former India skipper Mohammad Azharuddin said Kohli is a completely different batsman from the last tour and an exemplary leader of the top-ranked Test side in the world. "At that time, it was his first tour… now he has got so many runs behind him and I think will perform wonderfully well," Azharuddin told AFP. "He has led India in so many Test matches so I don't think he will have any pressure now as far as leadership is concerned." Kohli struggled against seam bowlers in 2014 with England paceman James Anderson dismissing the right-handed batsman four times in the series. wickets worked in our favour." Mashrafe said the players had needed a couple of days to get the three-run loss in the second ODI out of their systems, and the desire within the team to bounce back was what helped them in the third game. "There's always an aftershock [following such a close defeat]. We regrouped in the two days in between," Mashrafe said. "We had optional training, so only those who needed to train went out. "We said to each other that we needed to use this last opportunity to win the series. I think this win will be a turning point for our mental strength." Tamim Iqbal, who was adjudged player of the match for his second hundred in the ODI series and player of the series for being the highest scorer with 287 runs, said coming back after a disastrous Test series made the ODI series win more pleasing. Bangladesh broke many unenviable records with their batting performances in the two Tests. "It is a very pleasing win," he said. "I think we won an ODI series [for the first time] after 2016 although we won matches during this period. It was very important that we did well in the ODI series after the way the Test matches Sports Desk: Bowlers Kagiso Rabada and Tabraiz Shamsi starred in South Africa's convincing five-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in the first one-day international in Dambulla on Sunday, reports BSS. Rabada and Shamsi claimed four wickets each to help bowl out Sri Lanka for 193, a total the visitors passed in just 31 overs to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. South Africa's chase depended on an 86- run third-wicket stand between Quinton de Kock and skipper Faf du Plessis, who both hit 47. Off spinner Akila Dananjaya struck at crucial moments to get three wickets but Jean-Paul Duminy ensured a swift chase with his 32-ball unbeaten 53. But it was a superb opening pace spell from Rabada and Shamsi's career-best figures of 4-33 with his left-arm wrist spin that led South Africa to their first victory on tour after being swept aside in a two-Test series. Sri Lanka's innings lasted just 34.3 overs but batsman Kusal Perera hit a gritty 81 to lift the hosts from a precarious 36-5 following their decision to bat first. Kusal, whose 72-ball stay included seven fours and a six, put on a crucial 92-run sixthwicket stand with Thisara Perera, who made 49 to give the team total some respect. Kusal and Thisara counter-attacked to hit went. "We came back strongly in the first ODI and although we should have won the second game too, nobody gave up hope. I think it was the most pleasing aspect. The best feeling is when you score runs and your team wins. I think my hard work paid off. I was patient in all three matches." After Tamim fell for 103, Bangladesh needed to press on in the last 11.5 overs. Mashrafe promoted himself to No 6, adding 53 runs for the fifth wicket with Mahmudullah. Bangladesh reaching a 300-plus total was only possible through his 25-ball 36, and Mahmudullah's unbeaten 49-ball 67. Mashrafe said coach Steve Rhodes wanted to start the big hitting from the 35th over, which is why Mashrafe moved himself up- the order. "Coach wanted to change the trigger after 35 overs. So I told him that I should go," Mashrafe said. "It would be harder for a batsman to start hitting as there's a value to his wicket. I thought I should take the risk. Coached backed me. "I always feel at ease seeing [Mahmudullah] Riyad at the wicket. We have had small partnerships in the past. He has always done well in the crisis moments. I think Tamim, Shakib, Mushfiqur and Riyad were outstanding in this series." South Africa beat Sri Lanka in 1st ODI the South African bowlers to all parts of the ground as Sri Lanka reached 100 in the 16th over. The left-handed batting duo cashed in on the inexperience of rookie pacemen Willem Mulder and Andile Phehlukwayo as they plundered runs. But the introduction of spin in the 18th over put Sri Lanka in trouble again. Shamsi broke the dangerous partnership by getting Thisara caught behind. Kusal kept up the good work to get his fourth ODI fifty and got support from Akila Dananjaya with a 38-run partnership. He finally fell to Shamsi after attempting a reverse sweep to get caught at point and the innings folded soon after. South Africa had a wobbly start to their chase after opener Hashim Amla and Aiden Markram fell to the guile of Dananjaya, who opened the attack for the hosts. The left-right batting combination of de Kock and du Plessis blunted Sri Lanka's spin threat with their measured approach. However de Kock and du Plessis were denied their fifties after Dananjaya and leftarm spinner Lakshan Sandakan got the batsmen out respectively. Duminy, who hit six fours and two sixes, kept calm to complete his 26th ODI half-century and the veteran left-hand batsman hit the winning runs. Kagiso Rabada celebrates a wicket in South Africa's comfortable ODI win over Sri Lanka.

The Russian team's chief coach Stanislav Cherchesov was bestowed with the Alexander Nevsky Order, while the Order of Honor was awarded to goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev and central defender Sergey Ignashevich. Honorary certificates were also given to other players and coaches. This summer Russia hosted its first-ever FIFA World Cup, which kicked off in Moscow with a remarkable opening show at Luzhniki Stadium on the evening of June 14 and ended with a spectacular final match, played also at the Luzhniki Stadium, where France confidently defeated Croatia 4-2 to win the much-coveted World Cup Trophy. The national football team of hosts Russia managed to make it to the quarterfinals stage of this world championship, where Croatia edged them out in a 4-3 penalty shootout win on July 7 at the Fisht Arena in Sochi. Earlier President praised the performance of the team and urged the players to "keep the fighting spirit" for the upcoming football events. Baker breaks 100m backstroke world record Sports Desk: Kathleen Baker set a world record of 58.00sec Saturday to win the 100m backstroke at the US swimming championships, reports BSS. Baker, silver medalist in the event at the 2016 Rio Olympics, improved on the world record of 58.10 set by Canadian Kylie Masse at the World Championships in Budapest on July 25 of last year. Baker, who tied for first with Regan Smith in the 200m backstroke this week, clocked a blistering 27.90sec over the first 50m and held on for the victory. She notched the first world record of the championships, the selection meeting for next month's Pan Pacific Championships in Tokyo. Silva scores twice as Man City rallies to beat Bayern Sports Desk: Pepe Guardiola finished Manchester City's US tour with a deserved 3- 2 victory over former club Bayern Munich, but his evening was soured with an injury to new signing Riyad Mahrez, reports BSS. Two goals from substitute Bernardo Silva helped Manchester City come from 2-0 down to end a run of two defeats in this International Champions Cup campaign with youngster Lukas Nmecha scoring in between. Mahrez, however, went down twice with what looked like an ankle problem. He was eventually forced off after just 27 minutes and looked in discomfort. With the traditional English season opener - the Community Shield - taking place next Sunday at Wembley against Chelsea, coach Guardiola will assess the Algerian's fitness as the start of the Premier League campaign looms into view. Meanwhile Guardiola's squad flew back to Manchester at the end of the Saturday match. City's opening games against Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool had both ended in narrow defeats, but with Guardiola opting for familiarity - eight players in the starting lineup here had begun all three games of this US tour - it was another young side full of running. "We analyzed our mistakes in the previous games and did it better against Bayern Munich," said Guardiola. "We were able to play good and overcome the situation when we were 2-0 down." Bayern's main men Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery looked dangerous on the ball, yet with Mahrez afforded plenty of space in midfield the English champions dominated the early stages and really should have opened the scoring. Mahrez, who had already spent a few minutes getting treatment after being challenged, sent German-born City striker Nmecha through only for his shot be saved Rubel reprimanded for breaching ICC Code of Conduct Sports Desk: Pacer Rubel Hossain has received an official reprimand for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the deciding ODI against the West Indies on Saturday, which the visitors won by 18 runs in St Kitts to take the series by 2-1, said an ICC media release yesterday, reports BSS. Rubel was found to have breached Article 2.1.4 of the ICC Code of Conduct for players and player Support Personnel, which relates to "Using language or a gesture that is obscene, offensive or insulting during an international match". In addition to the reprimand, one demerit point has been added to the fast bowler's disciplinary record. Rubel now has two demerit points after he had received one demerit point for showing dissent during the second T20I against Afghanistan in Dehradun in last month. As such, he now has two demerit points against his name. The incident happened in the 28th over of the Windies' run-chase when Rubel used an inappropriate word, which was picked up by the stump mic, after Shimron Hetmyer edged him for a boundary. After the end of the match, Rubel admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Chris Broad of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees and, as such, there was no need for a formal hearing. The charge was leveled by on-field umpires S. Ravi, and Joel Wilson, third umpire Richard Illingworth Nigel Duguid Marais Erasmus and fourth umpire Nick Cook. Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player's match fee, and one or two demerit points. by Sven Ulreich. It wasn't long before Nmecha had the opportunity to make amends as another classy through ball from Mahrez set him free, but this time he was denied by the post. That was to prove a costly couple of misses because on 14 minutes, Bayern were ahead. The lively Rafinha found space on the right and his cross was headed in by Meritan Shabani. It was a good team goal and on 23 minutes, Ribery and Robben combined for number two. The French midfielder's lofted through ball found the Dutchman in the area and his two touches - one to control and one to expertly lift the ball past Claudio Bravo - were top class. And all of a sudden, a difficult evening for Guardiola darkened on 27 minutes when Mahrez was forced to leave the field with an injured ankle. "We will see, maybe it is not a problem," said Guardiola. The Algerian limped off to be replaced by Portuguese midfielder Silva, who scored the goal his team's display had deserved on the stroke of half-time. The former Monaco star ran unchallenged 25 yards out and produced an excellent low, curling finish leaving Ulreich with no chance. The Bayern keeper was being kept busy and on 51 minutes, he was picking the ball out of the back of the net once more after Silva fed Foden and when his curling shot was parried, Nmecha was on hand to steer home from close. No-one could begrudge this young City side a share of the spoils, but the game was turned on its head with 20 minutes remaining. A first City appearance for 17- year-old Spanish attacking midfielder Adrian Bernabe quickly resulted in a third goal for Guardiola's side. The former Barcelona youngster teed up Silva who wriggled clear in the area before drilling low past Ulreich for the winner. Two goals from substitute Bernardo Silva (R) helped Manchester City come from 2-0 down to end a run of two defeats in their International Champions Cup campaign with a 3-2 win over Bayern Munich. Photo: AP Say I'm your No.1: goalkeeper Buffon faces fight at PSG Sports Desk: Italy legend Gianluigi Buffon has a fight on his hands for the Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper's shirt as coach Thomas Tuchel revealed he had not yet decided who was his number one, reports BSS. Buffon has made his first move abroad at the age of 40 but faces stiff competition at the French club, which shares his ambition of a first Champions League title. Tuchel has an embarrassment of goalkeeping riches including Alphonse Areola, a member of France's World Cup-winning squad, German international Kevin Trapp, Sebastien Cibois and Remy Descamps. "He's (Buffon) not afraid to fight for his place, Kevin and Alphonse are not afraid to fight for their place," Tuchel said in Singapore, ahead of Monday's friendly with Atletico Madrid. "This is the kind of competition that I would love to have in every other position." The German added: "This is a situation we need to handle relaxed but clearly. When everybody is there and everybody has shown up and everybody is healthy at the top level, then it's time to decide." Buffon has not had the easiest of starts with PSG, shipping four goals in his first two friendly appearances against Bayern Munich and Arsenal. Buffon, who clocked up 656 appearances in 17 years at Juventus, insisted he never expected simply to be handed a starting spot. "In 24 years of my career, nobody has ever told me that I had the number one shirt by right. It's come through hard training and being selected based on merit," he said. "So I'll continue to do that and also work towards developing the other goalkeepers in the squad." The 2006 World Cup-winner also denied that the chance of winning an elusive Champions League title was the main motivation behind his move to PSG on a one-year deal. "This decision was made so I could continue… to play at the top level," he said. "I've always been excited by the thought of a challenge abroad, a challenge as ambitious and important as this one at Paris. "I think after 40 years in Italy, a change will be good for me from a personal point of view as well as a professional one."
