Pakistan cricket fans braced for a potential loss against India in their upcoming T20 World Cup match, while South Africa secured a dominant victory over New Zealand, and protests against the Iranian government took place in Munich. Meanwhile, Spain faced another storm, Oriana, following the damage caused by Nils. These events unfolded on February 14, 2026.
In the cricket world, South Africa's captain, Aiden Markram, led his team to a seven-wicket victory over New Zealand, securing their third consecutive win in Group D of the Twenty20 World Cup, according to Al Jazeera. New Zealand suffered their first loss in the campaign after posting 175-7. In contrast, Pakistani cricket fans were preparing for their team's match against India, a contest they have struggled in since 2021, according to Al Jazeera.
Simultaneously, in Munich, Germany, hundreds of thousands of people gathered to protest against the Iranian government, coinciding with a conference on global security attended by world leaders, Euronews reported. The protest, which saw approximately 200,000 demonstrators, was organized in response to a call from Iran's exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi for increased international pressure on Tehran.
At the Munich Security Conference, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez delivered a speech questioning the rearmament strategies of world powers, advocating for investment in values instead of nuclear arsenals, according to Euronews. Sánchez argued that nuclear rearmament would not protect anyone from Vladimir Putin.
Adding to the challenges, Spain was hit by another storm, Oriana, bringing torrential rain and strong winds, Euronews reported. This followed the damage caused by the previous storm, Nils. A maximum red alert was issued in the eastern province of Castellón due to "hurricane-force" winds.
