MLC 2025: Trent Boult stars with the bat as MI New York edge San Francisco Unicorns in Eliminator
Trent Boult hammered consecutive sixes in MI New York's win over San Francisco Unicorns in the Major League Cricket. (Sportzpics) Trent Boult delivered a match-winning performance with both bat and ball as MI New York defeated San Francisco Unicorns in a thrilling Eliminator match at Dallas in the Major League Cricket. Boult's unbeaten 22 runs off 13 balls, including two crucial sixes in the penultimate over, helped MI NY chase down SFU's target of 133 with two wickets remaining, securing their first-ever victory against the Unicorns in MLC history and advancing to face Texas Super Kings in Friday's Qualifier 2 match. The match began with MI NY captain Nicholas Pooran winning the toss and electing to bowl under the threat of rain. The decision proved effective as MI NY's bowlers, led by Nosthush Kenjige and Boult, dismantled SFU's top order, reducing them to 16 for 5 in the fifth over. Cooper Connolly attempted to stabilise the SFU innings, but Tristan Luus and Rushil Ugarkar maintained bowling pressure. After Connolly's dismissal by Luus and Hammad Azam's wicket claimed by Ugarkar, SFU found themselves at 62 for 7. Xavier Bartlett's counter-attacking innings of 44 runs off 24 balls, supported by Brody Couch, helped SFU avoid a sub-100 total. The pair added 59 runs from 32 balls before Ugarkar broke the partnership in the 17th over, with SFU ultimately posting 133 runs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 痛みのない血糖測定器が何百万人もの人生を変えています！ Wmet 詳細 Undo Rain interrupted play for an hour but did not result in any reduction of overs.

The San Francisco Unicorns face MI New York in Thursday's Major League Cricket Eliminator at Grand Prairie Stadium, Dallas. The winner advances to the Challenger match, while the loser is eliminated. The first ball is at 7:00 PM local time on July 9, amid concerns over Texas floods, though forecasts predict clear skies. The Unicorns dominated the league stage with 7 wins but enter with injuries to key players Finn Allen (foot), Haris Rauf (hamstring), and Romario Shepherd (ankle). MI New York scraped into fourth place, hoping stars like Kieron Pollard (265 runs) and Trent Boult (11 wickets) reverse their 0-3 record against SFU. India: Stream live on JioHotstar app/website; TV broadcast on Star Sports Network . North America: Watch via Willow TV. Other regions: UK (Premier Sports), Australia (Seven Network), Caribbean (ESPN). Live toss occurs at 6:30 PM local time The Unicorns are majorly backed by tech entrepreneurs from Silicon Valley. The team's management has emphasized building around explosive batters, which has paid off well till now. Under strong captaincy, they've prioritized aggressive batting, evidenced by their record 246/4 against MI New York earlier this season. Owned by the same group that owns IPL's Mumbai Indians, MI New York benefits from global cricket expertise of powerful current and veteran cricketing stars. Despite star power like Nicholas Pooran and Quinton de Kock, the team has struggled with consistency, losing 7 games this season. Their Dallas record is concerning: 0 wins in 4 matches here, including two failed 240+ chases against SFU. Grand Prairie Stadium favors batsmen, with 2025 first-innings averages soaring to 203. SFU's Xavier Bartlett, Player of the Match in their June 15 win over NY, and Tim Seifert (64 off 26 balls in prior clash) hold the keys to extending their 3-0 dominance. With SFU likely fielding replacements like Cooper Connolly, MI New York aims to capitalize on their weakened lineup.

Why Parkinson's Drug Fails Some Patients, New Technology Reveals Shocking Reason
Washington DC: Simon Fraser University Researchers are using an advanced brain imaging method called MEG to understand why Parkinson's drug levodopa doesn't work equally well for everyone. By mapping patients' brain signals before and after taking the drug, they discovered that it sometimes activates the wrong brain regions, dampening its helpful effects. This breakthrough could pave the way for personalised treatment strategies, ensuring patients receive medications that target the right areas of their brain more effectively. The new study by the Simon Fraser University (SFU) researchers, published in the journal Movement Disorders, looks at why levodopa - the main drug used in dopamine replacement therapy - is sometimes less effective in patients. The drug is typically prescribed to help reduce the movement symptoms associated with the neurodegenerative disorder. While it is effective in improving symptoms for the vast majority of patients, not everyone experiences the same level of benefit. In order to find out why this is the case, an SFU collaboration with researchers in Sweden has used magnetoencephalography (MEG) technology to determine how the drug affects signals in the brain. "Parkinson's is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease worldwide and it is the most rapidly increasing, in terms of incidence," says Alex Wiesman, assistant professor in biomedical physiology and kinesiology at SFU. "Treating this disease, both in terms of helping people with their symptoms, but also trying to find ways to reverse the effects, is becoming more and more important. If clinicians can see how levodopa activates certain parts of the brain in a patient, it can help to inform a more personalised approach to treatment," added Wiesman. The study was a collaboration with researchers at Karolinska Institute in Sweden, who used MEG to collect data from 17 patients with Parkinson's disease - a relatively small sample size. Researchers mapped participants' brain signals before and after taking the drug, in order to see how and where the drug impacted brain activity. MEG is an advanced non-invasive technology that measures the magnetic fields produced by the brain's electrical signals. It can help clinicians and researchers to study brain disorders and diseases, including brain injuries, tumours, epilepsy, autism, mental illness and more. Using this rare brain imaging technology, Wiesman and team developed a new analysis that lets them "search" the brain for off-target drug effects. "With this new way of analysing brain imaging data, we can track in real time whether or not the drug is affecting the right brain regions and helping patients to manage their symptoms," says Wiesman. "What we found was that there are sometimes 'off-target' effects of the drug. In other words, we could see the drug activating brain regions we don't want to be activating, and that's getting in the way of the helpful effects. We found that those people who showed 'off target' effects are still being helped by the drug, but not to the same extent as others," said Wiesman. Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder, meaning parts of the brain become progressively damaged over time. It affects predominately the dopamine-producing neurons in a specific area of the brain called the substantia nigra. People with Parkinson's disease may experience a range of movement-related symptoms, such as tremors, slow movement, stiffness and balance problems. Wiesman hopes that a better understanding of how levodopa affects an individual's brain signals could improve how drugs are prescribed to treat Parkinson's. This new type of brain imaging analysis is not only for studying Parkinson's disease; any medications that affect brain signaling can be studied using the method developed by Wiesman and colleagues.
