This game is so weird as in England batters got destroyed on a spin track, which means the England batters were not prepared. England skipped or was not available to test their batters on the pitch like the one they were playing today. Ultimately it is now evident that these guys were so much overconfident that they lost today against a weak team. I personally do not consider Srilanka a big team that can sneak into the semifinals. Another example is how much the English team thought of themselves as the best team to play a white ball game. They forgot that this tournament is not a 20-over cricket but a 50 overs cricket.

I have been using MEXC for some time now and I was surprised when I made some purchases on it. The trading fee is way lower than other exchanges and the plus point of not having to go through KYC. What I did not like is that they also use Bitcoin Legacy address and not SegWit, wait for 3 confirmations, and do not support the Lightning Network. What I was impressed with was that they have a good volume on most pairs, no KYC policy might be the reason. I do not think they would be able to last much longer if they kept on like the way they are now. As of now, MEXC would be the first choice for everyone who was trading on Kucoin before KYC was made mandatory.

There are two possibilities for England's poor performance. The first is that their batters are out of form and the second is over-hyped as the best team to play white ball cricket. Other than that I do not think anything can prove such a poor performance by England. At the moment Srilankan's batting is not looking good they lost their first wicket within the power play. Although the target is so small that if they play slowly they would still win if they are not bothered about the net run rate. I am sure the Srilankan batter would have a tough time while batting on a pitch that tends to get slower as the game progresses.

Now we can officially come to the conclusion that England is out of this World Cup. Another big upset in the tournament, never imagined that England would be batting in this manner. They might not be able to get 160 runs on the scoreboard. 9 wickets already gone, the batting order collapsed like a house of cards. One of the worst performance by the England cricket team in white ball cricket. This win will boost Srilankan teams net run rate on the points table

6 wickets already gone it is becoming a nightmare for England. The way they have started batting it looks like they would lose today. Tail enders are now on the pitch and the last known batter Stokes is still playing. If Stokes gets out then it would be the end of England. Suddenly Srilanka looks like a strong team than England today. I doubt England batters would be able to bat till the end of 50 overs.

Excellent start by the Srilankan team, they have already wiped out half of the English side before the end of 20th over. I have never seen such a batting collapse from England. The current run rate is below 5, it might go below 4. If they lose a couple of wickets more than England might not even get 200 runs against Srilanka.

I don't think that this post should be on the Meta board. I believe you should open up a Scam accusations thread against the founders will all the relevant information. That will make everyone here aware about them. The Meta board is to discuss  about the forum and not about third party. Please move this topic to

Easily they would surpass the 300 runs mark but not 400. They still have 7 overs to play with Maxwell in they might go beyond 330 or 340. It would not be easy for the Duth batters to chase those runs. The max they can score would be 250 or 260, that would help the Australian team in increasing their net run rate. I don't think an extra point after today's win will help them to rank up.

Edit: I never expected Maxwell to hit a ton in 40 balls. They will now easily surpass 400 and now might be able to rank up due to good net run rate.

That depends on whether they can continue what they started as in the performance while playing against Pakistan. Today they should be able to win without much effort, wherein it has to be a big one if they want to work on their net run rate. They have a negative run rate whereas all other teams above them have a positive run rate. I do not think they would sneak into the finals and win the title this year. I have a feeling that either it would be the New Zealand team or the South African team that might pick up the trophy. India is a favorite but as you said correctly they lack the ability to play ICC tournament which might hinder them from winning the title.

After the Netherlands won the match against South Africa they can be a big challenge for Australia. In the match against Pakistan, the Australian opening pair were the reason for the good target and Zampa was the reason why the Pakistani batting attack collapsed. It is crucial for Australia to win today as if they lose it will hurt their rank on the point table. The Netherlands has nothing to lose as they are here only to disrupt the ranking and create an upset in the World Cup. The betting odds support Australia to be the winner, but it is still very unpredictable as to how each team perform today.

I came across a video from a Pakistan channel on YouTube and saw Wasim Akram bashing the Pakistan team reason being sloppy fielding. The Pakistan team has not gone through any fitness checks for the last two years, that is what he revealed. That may be one of the reasons why yesterday a lot of boundaries were given away by Pakistani fielders. It is not going to be easy for Pakistan to reach the semifinals but there are murmurs that Afghanistan after the win against Pakistan might be able to reach the semifinals. Two big wins will give them a lot of confidence and the way the Afghanistan team is playing is very calculated. The road ahead is not that easy for the Afghanistan team.

This is unacceptable for anyone who has some sense of morality. When the Russia, Ukraine war strted they tried to cash it by doing the same thing in the name of aid for the Ukranian people. Now, they have again come back in the same manner for Palestinian stuck in Gaza.

After the end of 10 overs South Africa has lost 2 important wickets. They have scored 51 runs and their run rate is below 5. I would say a good start for Bangladesh they were able to get 2 important wickets in the power play. It will help them to reduce the run rate and get RSA to give them a small target. We might see another upset if Bangladesh can get a couple of wickets before the end of 20th over.

Betting odds doesn't matter in cricket as a match can turn anytime. Like the one that happened yesterday where the betting odds were almost the same as for today. It all comes to how much pressure a team can take and whether they can put in the skills required to win a game. Bangladesh has been not been good in the World Cup but they have a few good players.

PCB STOP TALKING AND START WORKING!

None of us have ever imagined Pakistan getting defeated by Afghanistan. One of the commentators is praising the Afghan team as he is half Australian and half Pakistani. Where things got so wrong that Pakistan cannot win a game against a team new to this World Cup, almost everything that Afghanistan needs is being provided by the BCCI. It's another big shame for Pakistan to get defeated by an underdog like Afghanistan. It is an end for Pakistan getting into the semifinals of the World Cup as they won't be able to get out of this defeat psychologically. Another game to prove that the era of Pakistan cricket is now on the rise unless the PCB comes up with an immediate solution.

What a comeback by Pakistan and especially Afridi. They were struggling to get the opening pair out. With Gurbaz gone this match might now turn in favour of Pakistan. The current run rate of Afghanistan side is way above the asking run rate. Still, if Pakistan can get another wicket then they will be completely back in the game. Afghanistan need to get another partnership inorder to win against Pakistan. The fielding of Pakistani side is worst today, Afganistan were far much better that what Pakistan is doing now.

The legendary and one of the iconic spin bowlers took his last breath today at the age of 77. He was part of the team that got India it's first World Cup in 1983. His career spans from 1967 to 1979.

Our PM did come on X.com formerly known as Twitter, to share the loss of one of the legendary cricketers of Indian cricket.

Another legend has gone and I feel another legend would be born for Indian cricket.

283 runs by Pakistan was not many here would have expected. With the start that they got and the inning by Babar Azam, they could have gone past 300 as their net run rate would affect their ranking on the point table. I am confident that Afghanistan won't be able to chase 283 runs with the kind of bowling attack Pakistan has today. Reaching 250 runs would be great for the Afghanistan batters considering the pitch will become slow as the evening progresses. For now the pacers are bowling on this wicket, I assume we will see the spinners in action before the end of the first power play.

What happened?

The Kerala High Court issued a ruling that will safeguard individual bank account holders whose accounts got frozen due to the cybercrime investigations by the police. The high court directed the banks not to freeze the account but only to withhold the disputed amount received through UPI until the investigation is completed.

My Question

The question that came to mind after reading the article is what happens with the money that is received through the IMPS or NEFT payment system. Understandable most P2P vendors provide UPI transfers. Some of them do not and have a good reputation in the P2P marketplace. Does this ruling cover those Bank account holders who receive the money without using UPI?  I did not find anything about it in the article.

What are your thoughts?

The ruling would give a boost to those individuals who still have their accounts frozen. They can now take a sigh of relief knowing that their account has a chance to get unfrozen in some time after this positive ruling.
