The iconic India-Pakistan ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 Group A clash tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon at the Dubai International Stadium is set to be the stadium’s 100th T20I. The DIS, also known as the Ring of Fire, has in the last decade and a half emerged as one of the most popular cricketing venues in the world.


The first T20I to be hosted at the venue was a men’s match between Pakistan and Australia in May 2009. Since then the venue has been host to some of the most thrilling games including the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 final and the ACC Men’s Asia Cup final in 2022. A number of bilateral men’s and women’s series have also been staged at the venue. At present, the venue has played host to 92 men’s and seven women’s T20Is.
The India-Pakistan – 8th women’s and 100th T20I – match to be played at the DIS will begin at 2:00pm local time on Sunday with a big crowd set to witness one of the most sought-after games on the international stage.
Emirates Cricket Board Vice-Chairman Khalid Al Zarooni: “Hosting 100 T20Is at the Dubai International Stadium is a remarkable achievement indeed and I want to take this opportunity to wholeheartedly congratulate the Dubai international Stadium ground staff, venue team and staff members who have worked tirelessly over the years to turn the venue into one of the most popular cricketing venues in the world.
“The facilities at the venue are truly world-class and the venue has gained the confidence of the International Cricket Council, Member Boards and players with the successful delivery of a number of top-rated events. The venue has always stepped up when required and has hence gained global recognition for being one of the very best cricketing venues in the world.
“The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 is off to a thrilling start. The India-Pakistan match tomorrow will be watched by thousands at the stadium and millions via the tournament broadcast around the globe. The game is one of the most watched sporting encounters in the world and we are really excited to host the two teams tomorrow. The fact that the game is the 100th at the DIS adds icing to the cake.”

Salman Khan’s ‘Nepotism’ Joke Steals the Show at Nephew Ayaan’s Song Launch in Dubai

Published

on

Salman Khan has never been one to hold back, and at a recent event in Dubai, he added his signature dose of humour to the oft-debated topic of nepotism in Bollywood. The superstar, fondly known as Sallubhai, was in town to launch his nephew Ayaan Agnihotri’s debut song, “Universal Laws”, and in true Salman style, he had the audience in splits with his witty remark.

As Dubai’s DJ Bliss – who hosted the event – praised the Khan family for their unwavering support for Ayaan, Salman quipped, “That’s what nepotism is!” His playful jab left everyone in the room in splits.

And as the crowd cheered, Salman officially launched the song, marking Ayaan’s much-anticipated entry into the music world.

A Star-Studded Affair

The event turned into a Bollywood reunion, with stars like Arbaaz Khan, Sohail Khan, Neha Dhupia, Angad Bedi, and other celebrities coming together to celebrate Ayaan’s big moment.

During his speech, Salman highlighted that Ayaan, the son of Atul Agnihotri and Alvira Khan Agnihotri (Salman’s sister), hails from a family of seasoned film producers. He also mentioned that Ayaan’s cousin, Alizeh Agnihotri, who recently made her Bollywood debut, shares the same film-driven lineage.

Ayaan and Salman’s Previous Collaboration

This isn’t the first time the uncle-nephew duo has joined forces. Salman and Ayaan previously worked together on the track, “You Are Mine”, where the young artist showcased his rap skills alongside the Bollywood megastar. The song, composed by Vishal Mishra, became a talking point among fans.

Salman & Sanjay Dutt Spotted in Saudi Arabia

Meanwhile, Salman is keeping busy with multiple projects. A recent video circulating on social media showed him and actor Sanjay Dutt filming on the streets of Saudi Arabia. The clip, shared by an X user, captured the two actors casually chatting with crew members.

The buzz is that Salman and Sanjay are working on a cameo appearance in the Bollywood remake of the 2021 Argentine film Seven Dogs. While details remain under wraps, fans are excited to see the duo share screen space again.

From family celebrations in Dubai to shooting in Saudi Arabia, Salman Khan is proving yet again that his star power knows no boundaries.
