Looking at the point table I feel there is zero competition against MI in this first season of WPL. RCB as usual is again at the bottom. The name itself is jinxed in my opinion as both men's & women's teams of RCB have never been on the top. DC looks good and they might be the only team to challenge MI. Only 18 more days left for this season to end and one thing is clear Harmanpreeth Singh has proven that she is one the best captain in women's cricket.
Mumbai Indians team is strong that if one player fails the other takes role and performs. This season of Premier League to be won by Mumbai Indians. Delhi Capitals expected to give good fight, but the team failed to perform scoring just 105 runs. More 4 matches remaining for every team makes the points table remain unchanged even if teams manage to make continuous wins.

People stay poor out of mismanagement as well as spending without any calculation. Based on what's been earned we need to plan our spending. With poor people they spend beyond their ability and stays poor. To reach the next levels of life it is the person who needs to take necessary measures as well as educate on managing the funds in a better way.

Al-Taawoun Vs Al Hilal, currently the score is 0-3 Al Hilal leads very well. Statistically, Hilal was really incredible, they didn't give Taawoun to get a good opportunity and create any goals, and now this match will also to end in the next 5 minutes. Al Taawoun was beaten very bad tonight they are unlucky, Al Hilal success to steal points from them this is very nice game.
The battle for the fourth position continues between Al Taawoun and Al Hilal. With the win against Al Taawoun, Al Hilal have secured the fourth position. The difference in points is low, but the two teams have got two match difference. More matches are to be played, so the points table could change anyway. The win is big, as Al Hilal had 4 goals and Al Taawoun wasn't able to make a single goal. As the league is getting to go for a long, consistent performance from every team is a must.

Papua New Guinea wasted the good start they got and may end up at somewhere around 240. They are at 227/6 with two and half overs to go. Anyway this match is not very crucial for them. No matter how many matches they win from now onwards, they will remain at the bottom of points table in ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. On the other hand, this is a must win match for United Arab Emirates. Already they are trailing Nepal by 3 points and a win today will narrow that gap to 1 point. And then they need to win both the matches against Nepal.
UAE need 247 runs to win and it wont be very easy. Only top 3 batsmen Kiplin Doriga, Hiri Hiri and Sese Bau scored runs rest of batting failed to stand in front of UAE bowling. Sese Bau was not out on 81 runs, he should have scored century as he faced 106 balls. Good come back in the game from UAE after 112 runs partnership between Hiri Hiri and Sese Bau. PNG were once looking to score 270 - 280 but they settled for 246. Still PNG have a chance to win another ODI againest UAE.

Well, the sad news is UAE was not able to win this match. Papua New Guinea set a target of 247 for the UAE. The target was not too big. But the problem Is that UAE was not able to even get close to that target. Almost all the players from Papua New Guinea played fairly well. They had a good overall performance in both batting and bowling. The UAE had posit performance. Only one player named Aryan had a personal achievement of half century. Other than that there is nothing well to be said about the performance of UAE.
With the loss UAE is at the brim of losing the ODI status. The competence is at the peak, because Nepal wants to move above the position of Namibia to qualify. UAE needs to win atleast 3 matches in the four matches remaining to move a position above the USA. This means UAE needs to win more matches than Nepal. This is going to be tough.

Uff 167.2 overs !!
There are surely lots of tired legs in the Indian camp atm and they have to face tricky 10 overs. 9th wicket partnership between Lyon and Todd Murphy is going to hurt us badly, never a good sight when pure tailenders put up 70 odd runs partnerships as it breaks your confidence.
LOL... when we talk about tailenders scoring runs in Border–Gavaskar Trophy, the ones that come to my mind are Ravichandran Ashwin and Mohammed Shami. Never expected the Australian tail to put up such a tough fight. The 70 run partnership between Todd Murphy and Nathan Lyon destroyed the morale of the Indian team. And in the end it was Ashwin who got both these wickets. India needs another 245 runs to avoid follow on. So far the two openers looked comfortable out there, but we never know. One or two quick wickets can put them in trouble. 
Tail wagging is a nightmare for any team so agree haha
Well if the pitch stays the same then we can expect India to cross at least 300 runs at the end of day 3 (without losing many wickets) as guys like Gill, Rohit and Iyer won't take a conservative approach and will surely play attacking cricket. India also needs a couple of daddy hundred from their top 5 batsmen. If not then they are doomed.

It will be very difficult for India to score 500 runs in the first innings. I don't think the pitch is entirely conducive to batting. But if India manages to play well in the first session of the next day and not lose wickets, they will collect a big score. It is difficult to stay at the crease in the first session. To collect big, the top-order players must bat responsibly. But India's top-order players are not in good form. My guess is Australia will win this match.
The early wickets will decide the winning of the match. I expected fall of wickets yesterday, but India managed to stand wicket. Based on the performance I believe India will play better in the first session. The team have got good batting line-up and if one of the player fails, upcoming player needs to understand the situation and play accordingly. This could make the team move forward against the attacking bowling from Australia. For India Ashwin was dominant in bowling with 91/6. For Australia Lyon is predicted to be the dominant bowler as the pitch is favouring spinners.

Pakistan Super League (PSL) was played today with the number three and number four teams in the points table.  Currently, Multan Sultan is at number three in the points table and Peshawar Zalmi is at number 4 in the points table. Every match of Pakistan Super League is a high scoring match.  The kind of game we see in the Indian Premier League.  Fakhar Zaman's century yesterday and Rilee Rossouw century for Multan Sultan today is really giving cricket lovers a lot of joy. Peshawar Zalmi batted first and managed to score 242 runs after batting 20 overs. After going into bat with a target of 243 runs, Multan Sultan got an easy win in Russo's batting frenzy. Congratulations to Multan Sultans for gifting us such a beautiful match.
A visual treat for all the viewers - great performance by both the teams.
Zalmi did perform well and so did Multan.
interesting match especially Roussow did and amazing work.
Agreed, it is a visual treat. But I don't know how things were happening. If I'm not wrong, the ground have been shortened. If not it isn't an easy thing to score 242 runs and the same being chased by the opponent with 5 balls remaining. All these are able players, watching the score of Peshawar Zalmi I concluded it a win and moved. Now it is a big surprise, in someway it gives an odd feeling whether T20 cricket is losing its real value through these leagues where entertaining the audience and money making is prime focus.

Speaking of media rights, there are some rumors that ICC sold England's (4 years) and Australia's (8 years) media rights for about $400-$500M, which is very low.  

They are not disclosing the details hence the rumors are floating around. If it's true then Indian broadcasters won't be happy with this development for sure and ofc BCCI too.

Don't forget when ICC sold Indian media rights, news of a $3.1 Billion deal was out in the media within hours.

One thing we have to realize is the Australian and English people are very good at keeping secrets. But that's not the case when it comes to India.
Indian people generally cannot or do not choose to keep a secret a "secret" for a long period of time. Even if they do, someone from the inside is going to leak the news.
And that's not the case in England or Australia. Forgive me if it feels like I am generalizing a lot of things. But this is my assumption.
Everywhere there'll be insiders who provide information to the media. When it comes to India the competence is high to reveal a news as the agencies were found more and for the trp rating the media could go to any extent and take news.

In Australia and England the news providers have got certain limitations, beyond that they cannot take things forward. This is the reason why the news relative to BCCI or India easily gets leaked against the other leading cricketing nations.
1108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: March 10, 2023, 11:10:25 PM

I'm not sure, whether ICC is behind the tournament or not. The tournament is quite interesting to watch as it remind of watching old matches. Though the match isn't familiar, India have good set of players and to few players are down with their fitness, in particular Raina is simply different. Afridi and Shoaib sitting outside and enjoying the match, and this match particularly interests the 90's kids.

Asian Lions have scored 165/6 in 20 overs. The Indian Maharajas are going to bat. This is actually going to be a competitive match in my opinion. But Indian Maharajas should be able to win this. I can see, they have a good batting lineup. This is basically a fantasy team type competition for the '90s kid.

Indian Maharajas are batting now and they have got 37 from 5 overs after the loss of one wicket. Gautam Gambhir is playing really well. I believe the Indian Maharaja's actually have this under control.
Gambhir took the team partnering with Murali Vijay, once these two wickets fell the team had lost consecutive wickets. Finally Asia Lions have won the match by 9 runs. Misbah is awarded Man of the match for his 73 runs. Sohail Tanvir took three important wickets of Uthappa, Yusuf Pathan and Irfan Pathan.

I was not aware of the history between Bangladesh and England in T20 but they chased down the total really well. Looking at the team, majority of their top order players were fairly new to me and once Bangladesh reached 100 in the 11th over i was convinced that they would chase the total and hence placed a bet on them as they had Shakib Al Hasan still to come out to bat and they had a couple of other players before him.

Did you know that this was the only 2nd T20 International Match between Bangladesh and England? The first match Between Bangladesh and England was the 20th Match of the T20 World Cup 2021. In that only T20 International match, Bangladesh Scored only 124 Runs by losing nine wickets and England won the match with eight wickets in Hand. They had six more overs in hand as well.

It's been 19 years since T20 International Cricket started. England And New Zealand Played the First T20 International on 5 August 2004. In 19 years, Bangladesh never faced England only once and it was in the T20 World cup. This is the first T20 International series between Bangladesh and England. Bangladesh playing in their backyard. They will try to win the series against the champions. Good luck.
That's a nice information. Just one match played between the two teams is really interesting. Being on the home ground Bangladesh could take advantage over the performance and win the series. Beating the Champions is not an easy thing, Bangladesh have done it. In the other two matches England will make a comeback. Bangladesh have good players, but the team used to collapse unexpected. Today everyone did their roles well and it gave them a big win. This winning have made the series more interesting.

Anyone betting on todays Indian Wells matches? Its difficult to make a pick, I have only
two today Wawrinka to beat Vukic @ 1.45 and coming up soon Murray to beat Etcheverry @ 1.32.

Wawrinka just beat Vukic.
I have a multi with two early games on it as well. Wouldn't even mention it here if you did not brought the question since games already started. I prefer to put them in advance os somebody can use my tips.

I have Struff ML @1.7 and Kokkinakis 2:0 @1.7, both players in great form and I expected easy wins from them. Looking good at the moment even though Struff lost first set 6:1, have no idea what happened there Smiley

Struff with a nice comeback and a win with some good odds on him. Both players serve good but Struff pulled it through. Kokkinakis won the first set and looks like he will win easy the second one. So nice two easy wins it Kokkinakis dosent do something stupid.
Struff after losing the first set very badly 1-6 had made a comeback. Kokkinakis have won the match in direct sets. Now the match between Andy Murray and Etcheverry is going on. It looks like the first set will move to tie breaker as both have levelled the score 5-5. Nowadays Andy Murray wasn't able to perform as the past. He is one among the expected player to progress and reach the next rounds of Indian Wells tournament.

In the Sri Lanka vs New Zealand test match the first innings of Sri Lanka have got over at 355 runs. Sri Lanka have lost 4 wickets in today's session. Tim Southee had five wicket haul. New Zealand have begun its innings with Latham and Conway. The match being played in New Zealand ease out the scoring. This test match is important for Sri Lanka to progress for the ICC test championship.

Islamabad United vs Lahore Qalandars The match between these two teams I thought that Lahore Qalandars batting first may not be able to score more than 190 runs. But Lahore Qalandars scored 210 runs in 20 overs. Lahore Qalandars team batsman Fakhar Zaman batted brilliantly. 115 runs from 57 balls.  Lahore Qalandars have done very well in terms of bowling, because of which Lahore Qalandars have won so easily.
Based on the score in the first 10 overs, the score could've reached 250+ runs. In between Islamabad United took few wickets and that stopped the scoring. If not the target would have gone even higher. Fakhar Zaman had an awesome innings. Following him everyone who came to the crease made good runs. Islamabad United is predicted to make a chase, this time they failed as wickets continued to fall from the very beginning.
1113  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: March 09, 2023, 03:03:01 PM
South Africa is at the lead position scoring 320 runs in the first innings. West Indies wasn't able to perform good. Already they've lost 6 wickets scoring 128 runs. Jason Holder and Da Silva on the crease could add little more runs. Anyhow this match too gonna be a win for South Africa as the first test match.
What is happening with the South Africa vs West Indies Test match. In between the PSL and WPL matches had a glance over the test match and got surprised with the recovery. Jason Holder is playing good and for the 9th wicket they've made a partnership of 57 runs in 80 balls. Gudakesh Motie is giving good support with the bat. West Indies have reached 250 runs and trial by 70 runs. Jason Holder have performed well and he's at 80* runs. He needs to score his century.

This had happened with me in the past and it had brought big win as well as big loss. As my gambling activities were much through the mobile phone easily mistakes happen. We need to be very careful and most of the time these mistakes happen while we play caisno games. With sports betting we get multiple reminders to check the odds and the bet value.

Theoretical education gives you an understanding through someone's experience. To be an entrepreneur it is a must to enjoy and experience from the scratch. Education can help you at some position, but the experience or the passionate towards something and working for achieving it will make you the best. Education is just a tool that can help at times.

There are people who are highly educated and successful and there are people who are uneducated and rules the world with their innovation. It is all about the time and the product innovated and the real-time need of people that makes you reach high.

If we were able to keep hold of the faucets claimed in the past, now that could've turned to be big value. What we see at present is completely different, and taking the same in mind it is good to accumulate as much possible, because we don't know whether we'll get an opportunity to buy at these prices in the future.

Myself too sold bitcoin on need as I wasn't able to manage through other funds. What happened the price increased and if I calculate the difference it is big. So, try to arrange the necessity through some other means and go for selling of bitcoin at the last.
1117  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think there will ever be a technology that can replace Bitcoin? on: March 08, 2023, 11:47:08 PM
Technology can't be stopped, it goes on and on. Just think of the monetary system, From the bar tender method we've reached the level of using cryptocurrency. This is something out of technology, even with the card transaction people were much confused and people weren't using it much. Now things have gone even high in technology and people are much used to the wallet transactions. So, with time the change happens and people gets used to it.

In terms of replacement I don't think anything could do it. Just because bitcoin existed fiat hadn't got away from usage. Same as that just because something is innovated bitcoin won't get away from its usage and purpose of innovation.

Bitcoin has a good chance in the future, the trend of investing in bitcoin which has been popular since 2011 has made many people new millionaires, even I have seen a wallet that has stored bitcoins since 2010 and sold around 100 btc from 2016 to 2022, the owner of the wallet it says that at that time he was selling a car and buying about 2500 btc from 2010 to 2013.
That's while among cryptocurrencies Bitcoin is best among all, so irrespective of it's falling it still have values, some people who purchased Bitcoin during 2009 and 2010 when Bitcoin was fully launch, and during that the price of Bitcoin was not much compare like now, they have made it now, that's while we continue to advice people that no time someone invest in Bitcoin is wrong time, it's just depends on the time Factor we want to keep our coin before harvesting, some for Bitcoin investment theirs every tendency the more the year are running the more Bitcoin is getting appreciating
Agreed and patience to hold is more important to profit from bitcoin. Not everyone have the patience. Apart from that people have some wrong understanding about cryptocurrencies which too a reason that people stay away from bitcoin. Over time this will change. When the investing captial won't hurt you even if the market turns downward and you're in a situation to cash out then you're good to invest. If you feel the down market might affect your lifestyle or other financial pressure then the market isn't for you.

Maybe something added to the back part of the bill could make people look about bitcoin. Having a board stating bitcoin acceptance is a must. Apart from that, there is need of more awareness so that your business will get transaction in the form of bitcoin. The initiative taken through your director is good, but the execution needs to be done in the right way. Even small mistakes would cause you big loss. So, handle it well with the right wallet usage.

It looks like bitcoin is getting to be more common in your locality. This is an advantage against other locations that doesn't have much of people using bitcoin. Maybe you don't get good business at the beginning, with time things will change and you need the patience to experience good business.

Bangladesh cricket team managed to give some consolation to the fans of Bangladesh cricket team by defeating England in the third match of the ODI series. However, it is a shame for the Bangladesh cricket team that the Bangladesh cricket team could not win the series on their own soil. Bangladesh played very well against England in today's match. If the Bangladesh cricket team could have done well in the previous two matches, they would have definitely won the series
Bangladesh comeback in the third ODI is really commendable but one thing is that Bangladesh had many chances to win the match in the first ODI except for the second one. But the top-order batsmen failed completely on the day and depended on Nazmul Hasan Shanto and late Taskin Ahmed and Taijul Islam as Bangladesh managed to collect 209 runs in 47.2 overs on the day. England had a target of 210 runs but they had to bowl more than 48 overs to meet this target and the wicket went for 7 on the day. Like yesterday's match, if Bangladesh's total was above 240 runs, then the first match would have been won by Bangladesh. Although England won the ODI series between Bangladesh and England by 2-1, many congratulations and best wishes to the England cricket team.
Yes, Bangladesh missed its opportunity in the first ODI. Shakib Al Hasan have performed good in the second and the third match. If he had played well in the first match this could've been a winning series for Bangladesh. As in the previous post, the experience always matters and Shakib Al Hasan did it in the right way in this match. Teams always have the players to take position and perform when someone wasn't able to do the right thing. Maybe this isn't possible everytime, but the try could give good results and make the career good.
