Indian bowlers look for improved outing against Australia in second T20I
Thiruvananthapuram: The young Indian bowling unit will have to push behind the timid show in the series opener and find its flow against a forceful Australian batting line-up in the second T20 here on Sunday. India had won the first game at Visakhapatnam by two wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series, but their bowlers, except pacer Mukesh Kumar, looked incapable of stemming the run-flow. The pitch and conditions at the Greenfield International Stadium will not be massively different, and that makes it imperative for the Indian bowlers to fire collectively.

Pentagon's AI initiatives accelerate hard decisions on lethal autonomous weapons

It tracks soldiers' fitness, predicts when Air Force planes need maintenance and helps keep tabs on rivals in space. Now, the Pentagon is intent on fielding multiple thousands of relatively inexpensive, expendable AI-enabled autonomous vehicles by 2026 to keep pace with China. The ambitious initiative — dubbed Replicator — seeks to «galvanize progress in the too-slow shift of U.S. military innovation to leverage platforms that are small, smart, cheap, and many,» Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks said in August.
