ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: India vs New Zealand Sets Live Streaming World Record With 4.3 Crore Viewers

India recorded a convincing four-wicket win over New Zealand — their first over the Black Caps in an ICC tournament since 2003 — to climb to the top of ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 table on Sunday. Handing New Zealand their first defeat of the tournament, India have now won five games on the trot at the World Cup, looking strong favourites to lift the trophy for the first time since 2011. Rohit Sharma and co. chased down a target of 274 with 12 balls to spare, courtesy an emphatic 95 from Virat Kohli. In the process, the match also set a new world record for live streaming, with Disney+ Hotstar recording 4.3 crore live concurrent viewers.

Disney+ Hotstar owns the digital streaming rights for the ongoing World Cup and, according to the streamer, 4.3 crore live concurrent viewers tuned in on Sunday to watch India versus New Zealand. This marks a new world record for streaming, breaking the previous record set by the India versus Pakistan match on October 14.

Déjà woohoo! Another record-breaking performance by all of us! ??
Time for a hat-trick??#INDvNZ pic.twitter.com/IBm2V39dIl

— Disney+ Hotstar (@DisneyPlusHS) October 22, 2023

Hosts India and 2019 World Cup finalists New Zealand were the only two undefeated sides at the tournament heading into the match, with the Black Caps sitting top of the table on the basis of a higher net run rate. While New Zealand fielded an unchanged side from their win over Afghanistan, India made two changes. Suryakumar Yadav and Mohammed Shami came in for the injured Hardik Pandya and Shardul Thakur.

India won the toss and put New Zealand to bat, who set up a total of 273 with the help of Daryl Mitchell's 130 off 127 balls, with Shami taking five wickets in the process. While Kohli narrowly missed out on another century, his 95 helped India reach 274 with two overs remaining.

The India versus Pakistan match on October 14 also set a global streaming record when over 3.5 crore live concurrent viewers tuned in on Disney+ Hotstar to see the much-awaited clash. The streamer holds the streaming rights for the World Cup in India and is also offering new viewing features for the tournament in association with the ICC. Its new MaxView feature allows cricket fans to watch matches in portrait mode on their smartphones, with ICC providing a dedicated vertical feed.

Amazon Great Indian Festival: Top Deals on Kindle Devices Worth Checking Out

Amazon Great Indian Festival is back this year with incredible deals across smartphones, laptops, gaming consoles, and more. As usual, the latest edition of Amazon sale offers a bunch of good deals on the Kindle range of devices. For some of us who prefer a quiet life where you relax over the weekend and catch up on your literary backlog - Amazon's Kindle series of e-readers is the most popular brand globally, thanks to its lightweight and easy-to-use interface that's not harsh on the eyes. There are two main variants, though — the more affordable Paperwhite and the slightly outdated Oasis. The former comes with a 6.8-inch display with an adjustable warm light that should help with reading in low-light situations. Unless chunky bezels are a no-go, these should be perfect, providing up to 10 weeks of battery life on a single charge. The Kindle Paperwhite costs Rs. 11,999 for the 8GB version (14 percent discount).

Of course, unless you're a voracious reader, I imagine it'd be pretty hard to fill up all that storage, albeit if you run out, just let Amazon's cloud take care of that for you. Much of the difference lies in the appearance, with the Kindle Oasis (10th Gen) bearing an aluminium body in luxurious colourways like gold and graphite. Furthermore, its buttons are set on the right-hand-side bezel, allowing you to turn pages without having to smudge your greasy fingers on the 7-inch screen. The Kindle Oasis, Champagne Gold version, is available at a 16 percent discount during the Amazon Sale, costing Rs. 20,999. It comes with 32GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity. There's also a version that adds 4G connectivity to the mix, ideal for those who often travel, so they can use their phone data to connect to the internet and read books. This version of Kindle Oasis is listed at Rs. 24,999, down from Rs. 28,999, thanks to a 14 percent discount.

Keeping with tradition, customers can avail of additional discounts — on top of the original deal — based on their banks during the Amazon Great Indian Festival 2023. As we enter this new phase of the sale, customers owning an HDFC Bank, One Card, and Bank of Baroda debit or credit cards will receive an additional 10 percent discount on their purchases. EMI offers are also available during this festive season, for which Amazon has yet to announce an end date.

Here are the Top Deals on Kindle E-readers During Amazon's Great Indian Festival Sale

Kindle (10th Gen) with 6-inch Display	Rs. 7,999	Rs. 6,799
Kindle Paperwhite (8GB storage)	Rs. 13,999	Rs. 11,999
Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (32GB)	Rs. 17,999	Rs. 14,999
Kindle Oasis (10th Gen with 8GB storage)	Rs. 21,999	Rs. 17,999
Kindle Oasis (10th Gen with 32GB storage) + Wi-Fi	Rs. 24,999	Rs. 20,999

Instagram recently celebrated its anniversary on October 6. As the company continues to grow, the Meta-owned app has introduced new features to appeal to Generation Z. Instagram will begin testing the new features soon and may launch them within the coming months. The new creative features will include reminders for birthdays, audio notes, video notes through selfies and multiple lists for Stories.

In a Meta event in Delhi, the company unveiled new Instagram features specifically targeted towards GenZ.

However, now users can create multiple lists in Stories, such as one for their university friends, another for their office buddies, and so on. Making multiple lists will allow users to segregate the selection of people who can view any particular story.
