The Bangladesh team cannot be called weak now. They have a strong enough squad. There are many talented players in the squad of Bangladesh. However, I have no confidence in Bangladesh's performance in the Test format. Bangladeshi players have less patience. And their performance in the Test format is very erratic. On the other hand, the opponent Afghanistan's spin bowlers are very experienced. Mirpur's pitch is also spin friendly. And so we probably won't see high scores in this test match. But the team whose batsmen play well will have more chances to win. The match is unlikely to be a draw. By the third or fourth day, we will see the result of the match.
In test format Bangladesh is relatively weak side with having 9th spot in ranking above bottom side Zimbabwe, so we can't give them any positive note with this because they have no improvement in this format and losing matches against all sides just won against Ireland which was also hard fought match they need to work on many aspects if they want to have better results into test format even Afghanistan is also new but have better results and also can give tough time to Bangladesh in this format which could be interesting.

Even prediction is surely not easy with both teams are going to face each other for the only test, but surely things could be good battle between two same level sides which are looking for better future but have no enough sources for this all.

Afghanistan has only played six matches in this format, which makes them relatively new if you compare them to the Bangladesh test side. Although the Bangladesh test team is not currently at their best level, they are still relatively competitive at Mirpur against any side. This time around, there are some newcomers added to the Afghanistan squad and their star bowler Rashid Khan will be rested for the one-off test against Bangladesh.

I'm not sure if this news has been confirmed but what I know is that PSG also defended Mbappe to stay at PSG. because it will be very bad if Mbappe leaves PSG like there will be no strength anymore after several top players leave PSG.
I can't imagine PSG will be able to do well in the summer if Mbappe does leave PSG but I hope not. because PSG really needs the best players like Mbappe.
I doubt the news, Maybe he likes to leave, but as usual, he will not. Mbappe has been one of the major players in that PSG team. In important games where he does not play, we always see how PSG struggle because that his ability to make quick runs and score with just a touch will be missing in the game. With Messi now out of PSG and Neymar set to leave too, Mbappe knows there will be more responsibility for him. PSG will get new players in the transfer market, that can majorly play with him to win the champions league in PSG, he is not leaving.
If PSG decided to stop Mbappe this season then that is very big risk because if he decides to leave next season that will be on a free transfer which would cost the club a big fortune thus losing millions of Euros, the only way forward is Mbappe to give assurance to the club that he is staying with the club for a long term basis and ready to sign a new contract, however with some recent speculations of his purported move to Real Madrid is unsettling his club,  of course Real Madrid needed a striker to replace Benzema who had left the club while the club is already on the move to bid for  and sign Harry Kane, however I think Real Madrid will  give up on signing him for Mbappe.
I had a feeling that this might happen as soon as Real Madrid started selling and allowing their key players to leave the club. I do believe, Kane is somewhat overrated. However, I believe that if there is even a slim chance that Madrid can get Mbappe, they should prioritize him over Kane. I also think it would be wise for them to consider bringing Jude Bellingham. If Real Madrid get these players in the transfer market, it would be considered a great achievement for the club.

These two young Brazilians will wear the legendary jersey number starting next season and as is well known, this number has previously been worn by Cristiano Ronaldo and also Gareth Bale. It seems that Vini and Rodrygo are ready to inherit the jersey number and of course they have a big responsibility to be able to continue the glorious tradition that Real Madrid brought with that number. I think they deserve it because they have had many seasons with Real Madrid and have been able to prove their consistency through goals, assists and also helping Real Madrid to win various titles.
It's so exciting to see Ronaldo and Bale rebirth! Cannot wait.
The number 7 jersey has always been iconic, and it's been previously worn by Cristiano Ronaldo. However, this is the first time I personally feel that Vini Jr deserves to wear it.  Jersey no 7 has its uniqueness and greatness. So, good luck to Vini Jr with his new jersey! I must say though, jersey no 7 too big for any player now. I have high hopes that Vinicius Jr will be able to continue Cristiano's legacy and make his own. We'll be looking at a new historical duo next season for Madrid. It's going to be an amazing ride!

I would say that it was a good decision to make the Asia Cup being played in the ODI format. Because it is going to be good practice for the players ahead of the world cup. It is also very glad to know that they have finally come to an understanding. I am still very skeptical about this being the last time when we will see some problems being created regarding the Asia Cup. But at least we saw them coming to an understanding. There was a lot of talking going on about the Asia Cup and where it is going to be hosted. Finally, we can see a decision being made which is not too bad, to be honest.
A great news for cricket lovers! An official decision has been made regarding the upcoming Asia cup, and it's good news all around. Initially, India had rejected the hybrid model proposed by the PCB, but now they have agreed to play according to the given hybrid model. Pakistan is thrilled to be hosting 4 of the matches, and although 9 matches will shift to Sri Lanka, we can still consider this a victory for cricket as a whole. As a cricket fans, we should welcome this positive response!

It's disappointing to see India struggle in yet another major tournament. Notice the lack of Indian batters who can stretch the innings and perform under pressure. It's time to prepare a test team with greater resilience and mental toughness. Indian batters could learn from players like Steve Smith, who are experts at playing on the back foot and adjusting to different game situations. I've to say Australians came well-prepared and had a clear strategic edge over their opponents.

In the end, it's fair to say that Australia deserved the win, and they should be congratulated for beating India as simple as that.

What a disappointment for Italy's football fans! The Italian clubs were unsuccessful in winning their respective European finals this season. While Inter Milan's had their best performance but let down by their strikers' indecisive finishing. Inter really controlled the match against Manchester City, which is no easy task. Of course, City rules, but Inter put up a great fight.

In some ways, it's still plus point for Serie A that their clubs were able to make it to all three finals and narrowly losing each time. Hopefully next season Italian clubs will bring better luck.

Looks like things might not be so easy when it comes to cashing in. If the SEC and USA continue on their ruthless attitude, we could see a rapid decline in the value of the dollar and the USA becoming less relevant in the coming years. Although it may be frightening, history teaches us that when countries stifle innovation and freedoms, they tend to experience negative consequences. Yet bigger percentage of transactions happen outside the US. So while the SEC is busy destroying US innovation, the rest of the world will move forward.

It will be a big 5th day in this test match and India really needs to play good cricket in order to survive this match. A lot depends on how long Virat Kholi and Rahane can bat in the 5th day and how India can resist the Australian bowlers for 90 overs.
Whether India scores runs or not, it's crucial for Virat Kohli and Rahane to bat as long as possible. Despite the odds, I firmly believe that we shouldn't lose hope because India have the chase master Kohli. However, the first hour of the game will be critical, and it'll determine who gains the upper hand in the first season of the match.

Personally, I am hoping that India can draw the match and I am not looking for an India win when they have already lost 3 big wickets. It will be a big disappointment if they lose this final of the World Test championship.
Anything can happen on the 5th day of the match, and that's what makes it so exciting. As fans, we hope for a thrilling game that keeps us at the edge of our seats until the very end. I just hope the best team win in this battle of excellence!

This season Manchester City is very lucky as many cups have been won in this season. But Inter could have won if they had attacked with long passes and certainly had a chance to win.


They are not only a lucky team but they are a great team that destroys all opponents including Real Madrid as the strongest candidate
After all, Manchester City is more appropriate to win it they started well since the beginning of the competition I'm not saying Inter bad but clearly now City is better
My prediction is that Manchester City has a chance to win again next season I mean if they still have the same player.
What a win for Man City! Congrats on their amazing treble win! They didn't just win it, they did it in style. After this victory, Pep is cementing his place as one of the best managers in history. I mean, he's the first coach ever to win the treble with two different clubs. I'm excited to see Pep and his technical team proceed the rhythm next season. They've got such great momentum, and I have a feeling that they'll keep up their winning ways.

A hard luck for Inter Milan because they're such a strong team, but it just wasn't their time. But, It's really unfortunate that all three Italian clubs ended up losing despite qualifying for the European cup finals.

The big question is was Shubman gill really out ? Was the catch clearly taken ? It look like the 3rd umpire was color blind who could not see the ball clearly touching the grass between the two fingers.

You may call India Unlucky on this dismissal or i heard people screaming "Cheating Cheating" in the ground  Huh


Yes its a Controversial decisions in cricket like Shubman Gill dismissal can evoke strong reactions. Both Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill expressed their discontent with the decision. While my opinions is different but it's important to respect the umpires judgment and the integrity of the Cricket and its final decision. I think Assessing the catch by Cameron Green may be subjective considering different angles. Lets foster a positive environment appreciating the overall excitement and competition in cricket.
It's actually hard to deny that the catch made by Cameron Green match defining moment. There's controversy it was a poor decision to call Gill out. While we may impress our feelings,but  it's important not to be too quick to judge. Yes, that catch ended up making a huge difference in favor of Australia, and it's understandable why some people might argue that it was a turning point for them. However, we can't use Gill out as an excuse and to say that if he hadn't been called out, things might have played out differently.

The biggest match of today's Champions League will be held at Atatürk Olympic Stadium, Istanbul, Turkey. We currently know Manchester City as the strongest team in this match. Although they have performed the best this season in all the titles and they are the champions. However, it is difficult to say how well Inter Milan will perform in today's match, but Manchester City will attack enough to win. Manchester City have a chance to lift the Champions League trophy for the first time in the Champions League if they can win the match. Manchester City have never won the Champions League before, while Inter Milan have won the Champions League three times. But today's match will be played well enough by Manchester City and they will fight to win. and the probability of victory in today's match is Manchester City, where the most supporters in various gambling platforms are Manchester City to win and they are ahead in terms of votes.

It's always interesting to observe Pep's approach to a game. He's known for coming in with a solid plan A, but his struggle has been adapting to plan B when things don't go as expected. If Inter scores first, it could cause confusion for him! I can't wait to see his stress and facial expressions throughout the match. I find Pep's emotional responses just as fascinating. Yes, both teams are equally strong, but if I had to make a prediction, I'd say that Inter might score, but won't able to secure a victory.
I wish Manchester City all the best in their UCL final. I have a feeling that Haaland is going to do something special tonight.

If you're someone who believes in the long-term potential of Bitcoin and is willing to hold onto it for an extended period of time, then "Hodling" can be a viable investment strategy. However, if you are open to taking on some risk and want to earn interest on your Bitcoin on every transactions, then lending can offer opportunities to generate passive income. But, I prefer to hold my Bitcoin rather than lend it out because it gives me a sense of security and peace of mind that is necessary for healthy survival.

Based on what I can see, he is going to get a share of the revenue generated from MLS tv rights, and he is going to get some other incentives as well but it looks like the biggest one is that he is going to get some share of the team as well. So he will become part owner of the club eventually, considering no matter how bad the team is, we are talking about a big MLS club, it will always worth over half a billion dollars, don't know how much share he will get, but I doubt it would be nothing, or it won't be half of it neither.

This is why I believe that his intentions are clear and he is going to just focus on his future. It's not about how much he makes now, it's about how much he owns when it's all done, and this is a smart decision because of that.

When it comes to finding a peaceful and welcoming place, there's simply nowhere better than the American Inter Miami. This is the place where there is not far from his country, Argentina, making it all the more special. In America there is happiness and that Messi feels he can't find anywhere else. Messi on his way to Miami where he'll be receiving a cut of Apple's MLS season pass revenue as well as a share of Adidas' profits and others. However, what Messi truly desires is peace of mind. He doesn't want the stress and tension that often come with endless riches. So, his focus remains on finding a sense of calm and contentment in his new surroundings.

If they fall behind Australia in the first innings, the second innings will be very difficult for India. Because if Australia is 150 runs ahead of India at the end of the first innings then they will start with 151 runs in the second innings and if they can score 400 runs in the second innings then the target for India will be 550 runs which is very difficult to achieve against a team like Australia. 
India all-out score of 296 runs in the first innings with a deficit of 173 runs does pose a significant trial ahead. But the positive aspect to focus on is Shardul Thakur's exception batting performance where he scored a well-deserved fifty 51 runs. Australia bowlers particularly Pat Cummins displayed their skill by taking three crucial wickets. Despite the uphill battle India resilience and determination can still lead to a competitive second innings and with the unpredictable nature of cricket i think anything is possible at The Oval.
Ajinkya Rahane and Shardul Thakur are the reason why India managed to score 296. Despite their efforts Australia still holds the upper hand in this game. Aussie bowlers managed to wrap up India's innings, and taking a massive lead. Three crucial chances that were put down by Aussie fielders, which helped India reach their final total of 296. Otherwise, India would have been forced to follow on, potentially leading to an innings defeat. Although the match is not over yet, it would indeed require a miracle for India to turn the match for their favor.

Liverpool FC 2022/23 season didn't go as planned, as they failed to make top four standings. It's disappointing because they lost some games that could have guaranteed Liverpool the top four. As a fan, it's disheartening to accept the fact that we won't be hearing the iconic Champions League anthem at Anfield next season. However, there is still hope as Liverpool will undoubtedly fight hard to win the EPL title in 23/24 season. However, new recruitment is essential. The good news is that Liverpool is already working on this and has signed a new no. 10, Alexis Allister. This signing has certainly put a smile on my face as Alexis is a talented player from Argentina with immense potential. He has all the qualities to become a leading figure in the Liverpool squad and I am excited to see what he can bring to the team next season.

From my observation of the recent finals played by the Italian clubs this season,this shows that Italy might just be lucky to be in  three European league finals but might not be able to win any trophy home,because this last final might also be in the favor of the English club.
Losing three consecutive times in a row for an Italian club in European competitions would truly be a tragedy. I hold a genuine hope that Inter can break the curse and turn things around.

Quote
Manchester city is a very strong club this season and wouldn't give Inter the chance to defeat them in the final and rob them off from making history. This is what Pep will put into consideration,since he will also make a remarkable memory for himself and the club. This means that what is at stake is much greater than the pressure City will face on the field with Inter on that day.
It's no secret that Manchester City has been absolutely dominant this season, and favorite to win their tribal. They have demonstrated an incredible level of skill and determination, and it would be well-deserved win for them. Pep and his team truly deserve to complete the tribal that they have so impressively started.

Quote
On the other hand, Inter will see this match as a match which will give good reputation to Italy after they have lost out in two consecutive finals this season. Inter have their own pattern of football and strategy which I think might be good enough to stop City from winning them.
There's a chance that Inter could really surprise everyone with an unexpected win. So, Manchester City must be very careful when dealing with Lautaro Martínez, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, and Edin Džeko. These players are all highly skilled and can easily turn the game in Inter's favor if given the opportunity.

469! Damn! India has their work cut out for them. I don't see them giving Australia a lead and they will probably trail behind them by a small margin. Head was the primary reason why they reached this score.

They lost 3 wickets within 100 runs and Head pulled them back up brilliantly along with Smith....
Travis Head and Steve Smith were the standout performers for Australia, helping to reach 469 despite losing three wickets quickly. It's definitely not a bad target at all, and now the pressure is on the Indian batters because they'll take on the pace of the Australian bowlers.

.... Am pretty confident that the target would have been lower if Rohit went with Ashwin instead of Umesh.
Indian bowling line-up has been facing some criticism lately, especially since Ashwin's drop-off. Despite high expectations, their bowlers haven't been able to deliver what as expected.

It's great to see West Ham United finally clinch a major European trophy after a long wait since 1965. The match against Fiorentina was a tough one as the Italian side seemed to dominate for most of the game, but West Ham managed to capitalize on their chances and got the goals that's what matters. Hats off to both the team and manager David Moyes for their winning. Moyes was calm and focused on the Conference league, ultimately leading his team to victory. None Italian club is likely to win any trophies this season, this result surely putting Inter Milan under greater pressure. As an observer, I can feel that Italian clubs may continue struggle to win anything this season.

What's concerning is the level of corruption that exists in the US, than any third-world countries. What's even more ironic is that the SEC didn't sue FTX. Now the SEC are targeting legitimate businesses that have been trying to work with regulators in good faith for for years after years.

India bowlers started well but were not able to continue with the momentum. At the moment Australia has the upper hand. If Indian bowlers are not able to break this partnership then a score of 450+ is on the horizon. Head would try to get his double century at least and Smith would easily get his century. None of the Indian bowlers are looking good against these two batters. Shardul Thakur has been expensive out of all the other bowlers. On the second day the pitch might favour Jadeja. If India is unable to break this partnership then it would be very hard for them to chase the huge target these two batters will put on the scoreboard.
Smith and Travis Head give Australia a great lead as Australia fall by 3 wickets for 76 runs. Smith is batting slowly but Travis Head is batting fast. WTC (2021-2023) Travis Head striked the highest rate 81.91 this final.
If India does not get quick success in the bowling department on the second day, Australia will surely give a lead of 500 runs where it will be difficult for India later on. However, Ravindra Jadeja may be successful in the first session of the 2nd day.

Indian bowlers need to pick quick wickets in today's first session. If the Indian bowlers are not able to pick up quick wickets, Travis Head and Smith cannot break the pair then India is going to face big problems. At the end of the first day, the Australian team made a huge collection of 327 runs. If today's Australian batsmen can bat well then maybe they can declare an innings after collecting more than 550. If Australia is able to bat 60-70 overs today then it can undoubtedly be said that the team is heading towards a huge collection. If Australia plays so well in the first innings, the match may be a draw and the new Australia will win. India's chances of victory are slowly diminishing.
Travis Head's innings was simply incredible! I always love to see him and Steven Smith performing at their best, and it looks like they're determined to take on India's bowling line-up. This duo could prove to be a major threat if the Indian bowlers fail to make an early breakthrough on day two. It looks like against this bowling any team can score more than 500 runs without much trouble.

I wouldn't be surprised if Aussie team manages to surpass the 550-runs. This team is in great spirits and hopefully they'll continue with the same momentum throughout the rest of the match.
