New Delhi authorities on Wednesday asked India's federal information technology ministry to block the taxi-hailing apps of U.S.-based Uber and its local rival Ola in the city in a bid to enforce a ban on the companies' services. India in December ordered all unregistered web-based taxi companies to halt operations until they obtain an operating license after a driver contracted with Uber was accused of rape. The ban, however, has largely been ineffective and both Ola, backed by Japan's SoftBank Corp, and Uber have continued to operate in Delhi while their license applications are pending.

By Greg Stutchbury AUCKLAND, March 25 (Reuters) – Grant Elliott’s towering six which propelled New Zealand into their first cricket World Cup final was still generating media buzz on Wednesday.

It ended a run of six defeats in semi-finals for New Zealand, who will play either Australia or India in Sunday’s final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
