Mohammed Shami had an eventful start to the Champions Trophy 2025 final against New Zealand at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday. In the seventh over, Shami dropped a crucial caught-and-bowled chance off Rachin Ravindra, giving the in-form Kiwi batter a lifeline. The missed opportunity left skipper Rohit Sharma visibly frustrated, as India hoped to break New Zealand’s strong start. Bowling to Rachin, Shami sent down a full delivery at the stumps, which was driven powerfully straight back at him. The veteran pacer attempted a reverse-cup catch over his left shoulder, but the ball ricocheted off his little finger, slipping away for a single. Shami immediately looked in discomfort, prompting the physio to rush onto the field and tape his fingers.

markets Target CEO Diversity inclusion reports rights Diversity pullback: Tech giants lead US companies in pulling back on initiatives

equity and inclusion initiatives that much of corporate America endorsed following the protests that accompanied the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd, a Black man, in 2020. The changes have come in response to a campaign by conservative activists to target workplace programs in the courts and social media, and more recently, President Donald Trump's executive orders aimed at upending DEI policies in both the federal government and private sector. DEI policies typically are intended to root out systemic barriers to the advancement of historically marginalized groups in certain fields or roles. Critics argue that some education, government and business programs are discriminatory because they single out participants based on factors such as race, gender and sexual orientation. They have targeted corporate sponsorships, employee-led affinity groups, programs aimed at steering contracts to minority or women-owned businesses, and goals that some companies established for increasing minority representation in leadership ranks.

In the final match, New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner won the toss and opted to bat first, facing an unchanged Indian lineup.
