South Africa reaches Test Championship final after incredible win over Pakistan in Rabada-Jansen

The fourth day of the first South Africa-Pakistan match begins today in Centurion with a glimpse of a thrilling ending.

Those who went to watch the game at SuperSport Park today were not disappointed. Those who watched the game on television were not disappointed either. What a thrilling battle the two teams presented!

South Africa had the last laugh after that tense match. Batting for a target of 148 runs, the Proteas lost 8 wickets for 99 runs. After three years, pacer Mohammad Abbas, who was included in the Pakistan Test team, started giving Pakistan dreams of a great victory by taking 6 wickets. But Kagiso Rabada, along with Marco Janssen, took away that dream from the Pakistanis.

South Africa celebrated their 'world title' when the third ball of Abbas' 40th over was bowled out of bounds by Marco Jansen at point. The team came a step closer to winning the match they had almost lost. With this two-wicket win, South Africa became the first team to qualify for the final of the third round of the World Test Championship.

When Jansen took the last four wickets to win the match, he was unbeaten on 16 runs. Rabada's partnership of 50 runs for the ninth wicket was 31 runs off 26 balls.

South Africa started the day at 27 for 3. The team's mainstay was Aiden Markram. He had scored 22 of South Africa's 27 runs the previous day. That same Markram, along with captain Temba Bavuma, safely made it through the first hour of the day. The Proteas went into the drinks break at 62 for 3.

After the break, everything changed as soon as the game started. In the first over, Mohammad Abbas bowled Markram (37 runs off 63 balls) with a perfect length ball that went a little low. Bavuma remained steadfast even after Markram departed. The captain added 34 runs for the fifth wicket with David Bedingham.

What happened to Bavuma then? The Proteas captain wanted to drive a relatively harmless ball by Abbas across the middle of the wicket and out of bounds. But the ball flew off Bavuma's bat and into Mohammad Rizwan's gloves. The umpire gave him out after hearing a slight noise. Bavuma complied and returned to the dressing room. Back there, Bavuma must have heard the scolding of his teammates, who were sure that the Ultra Edge technology in the TV replay could not prove the connection between the ball and the bat. At the time of this incident, South Africa's score was 96/5 in 29.4 overs.

Naseem Shah bowled Kyle Verena in the next over. Pakistan, who were suddenly starting to smell victory after taking six wickets from their 99-run opponent, took two more wickets in the next over. Abbas also got debutant Corbin Bosch back in the same manner with the next ball, forcing David Bedingham to take a catch behind the wicket with a slightly short ball.

South Africa went from 99/5 to 99/8 in four balls. And Abbas returned to Tests after three years and bowled his career-best. He took six wickets for the first time in his 26-Test career, surpassing the record he set against Australia in Abu Dhabi in 2018 (5/33).

It seemed that South Africa was repeating the history of repeatedly collapsing under pressure on the world stage of cricket. But Rabada and Jansen wanted to walk in the opposite direction of history. Rabada started the work of removing all the pressure by hitting a four off the fourth ball of Abbas's over. South Africa went to lunch with the team's score at 116 runs without losing any more wickets.

Then, Rabada and Jansen returned to the field and took the spoils from Pakistan within 6 overs to secure an incredible victory.

The final Test of the series will begin in Cape Town on January 3.

52 countries want ban on Israeli arms sales

52 countries and two organizations have called on the UN to ban arms sales to Israel. Türkiye submitted the letter to the United Nations. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan gave this information at the Türkiye-Africa Partnership Summit in Djibouti.

Fidan said, we have written a joint letter. I have called on all countries there to stop selling arms and ammunition to Israel. I handed over this letter to the United Nations on November 1, with 54 signatories. We must repeat at every opportunity that selling arms to Israel means participating in its genocide.

Among the signatories were Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Algeria, China, Iran and Russia; Two organizations are the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. Earlier, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on the United Nations to impose an arms embargo on Israel in October.

Meanwhile, Israeli attacks on Palestinian Gaza continue. At least 37 people were killed in Monday's attack. So far the death toll in the valley is about 43 thousand 400 people. More than 100,000 people have been injured in this attack since October last year. In addition, most of Gaza's 2.3 million residents have been displaced.

According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, 37 people were killed and 156 injured in the attack by Israeli forces in the last 24 hours. Many people are still trapped under the rubble.

Palestinian health authorities estimate that more than 10,000 people are still missing under the rubble across the Gaza Strip. Israeli forces have continued their indiscriminate attacks despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

On the other hand, the Israeli police arrested a top aide of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for allegedly leaking secret information to foreign media. Israel's opposition leaders say the leaked intelligence was bogus. And the act is part of a Palestinian plot to derail a possible deal aimed at a ceasefire and hostage release in Gaza.

According to the United Nations, the number of people aged 65 and over in Japan is very high. 10 percent of the country's population is now 80 years old.
The cost of living in Japan is constantly increasing. For this reason, more and more women are joining the workforce. Losing interest in marriage and childbearing. On the other hand, the availability of contraceptives has also led to a decline in the birth rate. As a result, there is increasing concern about Japan's future demographic, social and economic conditions. BBC.
