India are on a roll having convincingly won their first two matches against New Zealand and Pakistan.

Eyeing a semifinals berth, overwhelming favourites India will have to guard against complacency when they play Ireland in their third Group B match of the ICC Women’s World T20 here on Thursday.
India are on a roll having convincingly won their first two matches, including against arch-rivals Pakistan two days ago.
Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur declared open the tournament with her blazing hundred against New Zealand at the Providence, the same venue where India will face Ireland.
Ireland, on the other hand, have lost to both Australia and Pakistan.
India will enter the game against the Irish as overwhelming favourites but Kaur is aware that her team cannot afford to take things for granted in this mega-event.
Ireland cricket is known for its fighting abilities and taking them lightly will not be the way to go for India, with qualification to the last-four knocking on their doors.
Having eased past Pakistan a couple of days after the big win against the New Zealanders, India will nevertheless fancy their chances at the Providence.
If Kaur was the star of the opening win, the team’s most experienced campaigner, Mithali Raj, showed the way in the seven-wicket win over Pakistan.
While Jemimah Rodrigues started her T20 career with a fine half-century, the likes of Smriti Mandhana and Veda Krishnamurthy will look to score some runs against Ireland.
In bowling, off-break bowler Dyalan Hemalatha and leg-spinner Poonam Yadav shone with 10 wickets among them so far, and the seamers will look to get going in the coming games.

Teams (from):

India: Harmanpreet Kaur (capt), Smriti Mandhana, Mithali Raj, Jemimah Rodrigues, Veda Krishnamurthy, Deepti Sharma, Taniya Bhatia, Poonam Yadav, Radha Yadav, Anuja Patil, Ekta Bisht, Dayalan Hemalatha, Mansi Joshi, Pooja Vastrakar, Arundhati Reddy
Ireland: Laura Delany (capt), Kim Garth, Cecelia Joyce, Isobel Joyce, Shauna Kavanagh, Amy Kenealy, Gaby Lewis, Lara Maritz, Ciara Metcalfe, Lucy OReilly, Celeste Raack, Eimear Richardson, Clare Shillington, Rebecca Stokell, Mary Waldron.

stone age

Introduction  The evolution of the earth is supposed to took place in 4.6 billion year ago. Stone Age artifacts include tools used by modern humans and by their predecessor species in the genus  homo , and possibly by the earlier partly contemporaneous genera  Australopithecus  and paranthropus . bone tools  were used during this period as well but are rarely preserved in the  archaeological   record . The Stone Age is further subdivided by the types of    stone tools  in use.             after many dramatic changes in earth's structure and environment, it becomes supportive for life. From their first appearance to around 3000 BC humans used only stone tools for different purposes. this period is , therefore, known as the stone age, which has been divided into paleolithic (early or old stone ) age, Mesolithic(middle stone) age, and Neolithic (new stone) age.
