Italy Wins Cricket, Bangladesh Votes, Diablo Returns!

Italy celebrated a historic victory at the T20 World Cup on Thursday, stunning Nepal with a 10-wicket win in Mumbai, India, according to Al Jazeera. Elsewhere, Switzerland announced a referendum this summer to decide on a proposal to cap its population at 10 million by 2050, as reported by Euronews. Meanwhile, in Brussels, the US Secretary of War was absent from a NATO meeting, prompting calls for a "more European" alliance, as detailed by Sky News. Additionally, the classic PC game Diablo II received a new expansion, "Reign of the Warlock," 25 years after its last major update, according to Ars Technica. Finally, Bangladesh is on the cusp of a potentially era-defining election, as reported by Sky News.

Italy's victory at the Wankhede Stadium was sealed by brothers Anthony and Justin Mosca, who secured the win with an unbeaten stand of 124-0 after Nepal was bowled out for 123, Al Jazeera reported. The win marked Italy's first-ever T20 World Cup match victory.

In Switzerland, the upcoming referendum on June 14th stems from a proposal by the right-wing Swiss People's Party (SVP), which holds the most seats in parliament, Euronews reported. The initiative, which garnered enough petition signatures to trigger the vote, aims to limit immigration.

At the NATO meeting, the absence of US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth was noted by allies, with one suggesting he was "missing a good party," according to Sky News. The German defence minister emphasized the need for the alliance to become "more European" to maintain its transatlantic relevance.

The new Diablo II expansion, "Reign of the Warlock," released by Blizzard, adds a new class, new end-game challenges, and new inventory-management options to the 2021 Resurrected remaster, Ars Technica reported. The remaster maintains gameplay and animations faithful to the original 2000 release.

Bangladesh is preparing for an election that many believe could be a pivotal moment for the country. The election follows a mass student uprising in 2024 that led to the ouster of the country's longest-serving prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, Sky News reported.
