The 36th match of Indian Premier League will start today, the team of Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bangalore will participate in this game today.
Again it's look like another defeat for one of strongest squad ever team because they have several match winner players like Virat, Faf, green, Kartik, Maxwell and Siraj but still luck were not favouring thier side and that's why they unable to get important victory in several IPL seasons may be some bad evil has strong grip on them which create trouble for them. Anyway if we closely observe the scorecard thier opponent KKR scored a 200+ target through contribution of thier several player while during chase they have already quality bowler so I will favour KKR as RCB lose his six wickets and still need alot so their chases are miner until any mericle happened and lower middle order done phenomenal.

Royal Challengers Bangalore just can't seem to break their bad luck streak. Once again, they lost to Kolkata Knight Riders by just 1 run. It's really disheartening. They came so close to their second victory of this season but fell short. Royal Challengers Bangalore put up a good fight and deserved to win though.
It's the same story every year for Royal Challengers Bangalore, they collapse when it matters most.
Despite that, it was entertaining to watch. I enjoyed it.

Soon Pakistan Women vs West Indies Women's 2nd ODI will start In the first ODI we saw the batting disaster of Pakistan Women's batsmen Pakistan Women's team was bowled out for just 156 runs against West Indies Women's team. Of course in today's match, Pakistan women's team will have to bat responsibly. If they want to win the second ODI match against West Indies. Pakistan women's team will have to perform well in both batting and bowling otherwise they will not be able to win the match against West Indies women's team. West Indies women's team is performing very well in batting and bowling. From the beginning, the Pakistanis were bowled aggressively, due to which the Pakistan Women's team lost the first ODI very badly against the West Indies Women's team. Let's see if the Pakistan women's team wins against the West Indies in the second one-day match?

This match is crucial one for Pakistan Women who are looking to bounce back from disappointing loss in first ODI. They need to address their batting issues and put up solid score to challenge strong West Indies Women team. West Indies team on other hand will be looking to build on their momentum and secure series win. Their batting and bowling have been impressive so far and they will be confident of another win. However Pakistan Women have potential to surprise and if they play to their strengths. And according to the current situation Pakistan has lost 4 wickets and they made 133 runs and have played 30 overs. If they will play till and so I think they can go above 250+ runs. And if they will bowl well so they can win this match to tie the series.
First of all, this is a great success for the West Indies team.  Pakistan batsmen set a target of 223 in 50 overs and that was a very good target.  But West Indies batsmen scored 225 runs in 50 overs and won the match.  Pakistan's batsmen worked hard and struggled.  But the run was not stopped by their bowler.  If they had stopped, they could have won the match.  But luck did not support them and they lost the match.  My congratulations to the West Indies team for the win and may they continue to play like this and win matches.  And Pakistan batsmen should emphasize their performance so that they can perform well in the next matches.  Pakistan has played two matches and Pakistan team will lose both of them.
West Indies team won an exciting match with a last ball thriller. It's the kind of close match that women's cricket deserves, and those who watched it were lucky. Congratulations to the West Indies ladies on their thrilling victory, also confirming a 2-0 win in the 3-match ODI series. The team showed good effort and should continue in the same spirit. Unfortunately, it was hard luck for the Pakistani girls. Fatima Sana made a remarkable effort in the last over, but it wasn't enough to get the victory side for his side. They came so close, yet fell short.

Pak vs New Zealand Second T20I
That was an amazing win by Pakistan. We can see they didn't give a chance to New Zealand team  to go above 100 runs. And with aggressive bowling of Pakistan especially the two players Amir and Shaheen they bowled really well and just due to this Pakistan won this Match. Shaheen shah Afridi Collected 3 wickets and also awarded by the player of the match award which I think he deserved. Muhammad Amir was also good he collected 2 wickets. And we know that he is the best bowler for Pakistan. And I really appreciate the decision of PCB for getting in Muhammad Amir Pakistan cricket team. Smiley
We can't overlook the outstanding bowling performances by Mohammad Amir and Shaheen Shah Afridi. Together, they took five wickets to dismiss New Zealand for just 90 runs. Pakistan secured a convincing victory over New Zealand in response. It was clear there was no competition from NZ against Pakistan's experienced bowling and batting lineup. I admire the confidence shown by the Pakistan Cricket Team, as well as Amir's thrilling comeback. Testing their squad depth at the international level and introducing Mohammad Amir will be beneficial ahead of the crucial T20 World Cup.

Arsenal didn't get a disappointed result this time around at least, after two losses I was scared that they would get another one, and looking at how things are going it doesn't feel like it was a disappointing one here. I do hope that they do better eventually, it just doesn't feel like we are talking about a situation that would be weird.

The reality is that we are talking about a deal where things are not that easy to handle, we should consider how they could make it work, and that's why I understand that it may not feel alright at all times. The sad thing is that we should consider the move by Arsenal as "good", just because they won, they should of course win, they are so much better, but they give fear to their fans that they may lose at any time.
After this win, Arsenal reclaimed the top spot in the Premier League table. They owe some thanks to their opponents; Wolves seemed to lack a solid game plan and didn't mount much of a serious attack. Arsenal still need to win their remaining games to keep the pressure on the other contenders. They can't afford to give up at this stage, as things are tough to manage. If they falter now, it will be another disappointment, and they'll be written off once more!
However, it's worth noting that Man City have a game in hand, so Arsenal's lead is temporary until City play and potentially reclaim the top position.

Cagliari - Juventus currently stand at 2-1. This result would put the Cagliari team in a very comfortable position in terms of salvation, 4 points against Inter and Juventus would be worth their weight in gold. For Juventus, the black period continues without obtaining great scores, and to think that in January the Bianconeri were first in the standings! What a disappointment for their supporters
Unfortunately, the result of this match ended in a draw. Luckily, Alberto Dossena made a fatal mistake which ultimately resulted in Juventus getting 1 goal point. With this mistake, Cagliari did not win. This will be a nightmare for Alberto Dossena because he will definitely get a lot of pressure from his teammates and maybe also the coach who is very disappointed with Alberto Dossena.
The match between Cagliari vs Juventus was a forgettable match for both teams. Both teams made enough mistakes but I see more of Juventus' mistakes in this match as they simultaneously conceded two penalties in the space of just five minutes. If they hadn't made these two mistakes at the same time, they would have been way ahead of the opposition. They made two mistakes in the space of five minutes and because of these two mistakes they conceded two goals in a row. Juventus made a number of mistakes but Cagliari made a big mistake towards the end of the match, if not for the own goal Cagliari would surely have got full points against them on the day. But the result was not bad as both teams made mistakes and the points were shared by both teams.
This Juventus team isn't showing any seriousness. They lack passion, fight, and style, and it's partly the fault of the management and Allegri. Constantly changing the lineup game after game isn't helping either. They're nowhere near the greatness of the old teams. It's disappointing to see.
Bad luck for Cagliari, dropping two valuable points. It seems like Juventus are content with even a draw, as if it's a victory. Hopefully, there will be a complete turnaround next season. This season has been nothing but negative for the team.

Seems Cristiano Ronaldo will absent against Al Faiha few hours later after receiving red card on last match against Al Hilal, its not good situation for Al Nassr because Cristiano Ronaldo is top scorer teams. Al Faiha had inconsistency performance in last several matches although last week won over Al Akhdoud but I don't think Al Nassr want to make many points left from Al Hilal and try to stop awhile the rival teams celebrate their domestic league winner.
At his old age, it's better if Cristiano Ronaldo plays less matches for Al Nassr when this season is no longer important for them. He needs to reserve his foot and fitness for Euro 2024 with Portugal and prepare for a next season with Al Nassr.

It's smarter to avoid playing many matches in rest of season that are no longer important because Al Nassr will not be able to win Saudi Professional League when Al Hilal already create very big point difference. The red card and suspended matches look to be good opportunities for Ronaldo to have some precious rest days. If playing unimportant matches causes severe injuries, it should be avoided as much as possible.
Cristiano Ronaldo was not rested for this game against Al Feiha as he was suspended for the game while having red card in his last game and also having fine as well due to his behaviour now we are in 28th round of this season with just 6 games remaining and mostly players are trying to give their best contribution for his club as things will be good for them during off season and having good practice as well because after the end of this season we will be having Euro 2024 in Germany which also need good performance for having better results.

In Saudi League, now we have Al Hilal as champions and Al Nassr as second spotted team, but they have chance for winning Kings Cup while we have some problems for the Al Hilal due to injuries as they also lost their winning streak while they lost against Al Ain in the UAE.
I thought they were going to lose again, but luckily, they managed to win even without their star player Cristiano Ronaldo. Even with their main man missing, Al Nassr couldn't be stopped, showing they're still strong. Al-Nassr scored three goals in just 10 minutes against Al-Fayha, and they could have scored even more. Sadio Mané had a great performance, although he missed a penalty shot that could have given him a hat-trick. Still, Mané did an outstanding job!
Their destination seems pretty clear, but they're pushing themselves as much as possible to get some good results before the season ends. Their results this season haven't been as promising, but that's how it goes sometimes. Hopefully, they will learn from their mistakes and come back even stronger.

So that's the problem, until now we can't confirm who will be Liverpool's coach for next season, and the question is still whether the new coach can bring Liverpool to play well quickly or not. Because like it or not, the adaptation process will occur, especially with the length of time they have worked with Jurgen Klopp. When there is a change, they definitely have to adjust from the start, especially if the coach has a different type of game to Jurgen Klopp.

Regarding Mohamad Salah, he can still stay at Liverpool but that is also not certain because the chance of him leaving is also there, especially if their new coach doesn't want Salah. It's not because he's bad, but usually the coach has the type of player he likes to be able to implement the strategy he will play. We have to see until the end of the season and we also have to see who will be the coach who will replace Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.
Changing coaches can usually give poor results for the team because they have to adapt first. Jurgen Klopp's departure will definitely make Liverpool not the same because the coaches' styles in handling teams are different. The new coach has to make adjustments and it is not easy to take a quick approach, this is a challenge that management may need to think about because if they get a coach who is different from Jurgen Klopp it will affect the team.

Maybe we have to wait to see how the change of coach goes and whether Mohammad Salah will stay or leave. Because Liverpool is trying to finish the season with the target of winning the league because in the European league they have dropped out of the title race after losing to representatives of Italy.
What will be a challenge for the new coach to replace Klopp will be adjusting the game. It will be very difficult for the new coach to match Klopp's performance. we will not talk about achievements, because that will take time. but building a team as strong as Liverpool today will not be easy for the new coach. unless they get experienced ones.
especially if Liverpool and Klopp target to catch Man City and take the title. a bigger challenge for Liverpool's new coach in the future to maintain his team's performance.
No one can replace Jurgen Klopp, but same time everyone is replaceable even Pep. We'll find out next season. Surely, there will be a big name capable of stepping into that role and grabbing everyone's attention. Some may bring the team together like Klopp did, making them feel like a family. That person might never reach the same heights as Klopp, or perhaps that person will surpass him. Hopefully, Liverpool will choose the right person to maintain the team's performance.

After the aggressive batting got out early, the Punjab Kings team came under the wicket pressure. The Punjab Kings team players who performed so well in the middle of the game at the last moment came under the control of the winning Punjab Kings team from then on. Harpreet Brar scored 21 runs from 20 balls when the Punjab Kings team was in control and only a few wickets away. Here the Punjab Kings team fell short and lost by nine runs in the last minute, and if Ravada had run a little faster in the last minute, there was certainly no chance of getting out. With Ravada out, the Punjab Kings team lost, and currently the Mumbai Indians team is placed at the 7th position in the points table.

Punjab Kings team lost to Mumbai Indians which was sad because they were very close to winning. Team had hard time after their aggressive batting players got out early which made it tough for them. Even though they played well in middle of match they could not win in end but they tried really well. Ashutosh Sharma did good job but it was not enough to win. It is too bad that small mistake like Ravada running slowly made them lose game. Hopefully Punjab Kings can learn from this loss and do better in their next matches.
Mumbai Indians clinched a thriller against Punjab Kings. Punjab seems to have a pattern of losing in the final over. Neither their top order performed better, nor Punjab have had a stronger position. The aggressive batting from their key players not only hurt Punjab's chances but also kept them at the bottom of the table. While the big names of Punjab failed to deliver, Shashank and Ashutosh demonstrated fearless play in this format yet again.

I think it has been seen already on the move towards making such recovery since we have almost arrived at $64,000 with the way of appearance with the market currently, we can woke up tomorrow to see that it has actually turned something we never expect coming if it happens that the market rises, since we have already experienced more of these pumping before halving, more should still be expected coming after the halving to launch us more further to where we are aiming at.
We're about 20 hours away from the Bitcoin Halving event. It's been quite a wait for this moment. Bitcoin is just following its usual course, nothing surprising there. This correction could actually be good for the market, giving us another opportunity to buy at a lower price. Looks like we might have to wait a bit longer for Bitcoin to surpass its previous highs. For instance we're used to "buy the rumor, sell the news" which is the perfect strategy, especially with the upcoming halving.

Liverpool managed to beat Atalanta away from home but unfortunately couldn't get through the round as they lost 3-0 in the first leg.Although they scored an early penalty against Atalanta, they couldn't find enough goals to get through the round.They were in control of the match but I think we can say that they didn't put much effort to get through the round.
Liverpool's elimination from the Europa League is quite shocking. Their performance was disappointing, but it's fair to say they brought it upon themselves. Losing 3-0 at home without scoring a single goal sets the stage for failure. Atalanta outperformed them in both legs, particularly in the first one. Congratulations to Atalanta for their victory.

Marseille, on the other hand, ended their bad run with a win over Benfica.Marseille, who lost 2-1 to Benfica in the first match, won 1-0 in the second match and the match went into extra time.When the score did not change in extra time, they managed to eliminate their opponent on penalties.
When Marseille plays like they did, success is inevitable. Luck also was on their side as Marseille defeated Benfica 4-2 on penalties! It's great to see Auba and Marseille succeed. Congratulations to Marseille on their win!

Pakistan vs New Zealand

Huh! Finally today is starting T20I series between Pakistan and New Zealand. They will play 5 matches series in our country Pakistan. They will Play first three matches in Rawalpindi and rest of two matches in Lahore. So today is the first match. And this is really difficult to predict who will win this match. New Zealand is a strong team but we should keep in mind that Pakistan is in home ground. And one more thing which is important is that Pakistan recently finished the PSL and they selected some top players from PSL performance so I hope Pakistan will do well in this series. So let's see.

Today New Zealand team will perform well in this match, because New Zealand team perform very well in T20 matches. But Pakistan team is one of the best team, these two teams have vast experience players in their squad. Their performance is so good that today's match can be won only on the basis of experience and skill. New Zealand team has more attacking batsmen in T20 game, but I will support New Zealand team in today's match. Because the New Zealand team has many great and best players in the batting line and bowling line.

Today's match promises to be exciting! In T20 cricket, the game can swing in any team's favor, but Pakistan holds the edge in this series. The match takes place in Rawalpindi as Pakistan hosts New Zealand in the first T20 international match of the series.
New Zealand's T20 squad comprises their top domestic performers but having future stars. However, the absence of their main players is noticeable in this match. Yet, this is not Pakistan's concern. Last year, Pakistan defeated New Zealand in New Zealand even when their senior players were in the squad. Let's wait and see which team will face the brunt of the competition.

Match was really exciting. I was not expecting such kind of performance from Srilanka Women team but they played really well. First of all I appreciate the performance of South African Women team. They played very well and in Women squad crossing 300 runs is not a easy thing but they tried well. Especially Laura Wolvaardt, she played brilliantly and she was just near to double century but Unfortunately she got out at 184 runs.
After just took a look on Srilanka Women team performance that was superb. Means it was looking like only both Captains are playing this match. Chamari Athapaththu remained not out by making 195 runs she deserved the player of the match award. Congratulations to Srilanka team. Now the series is tied.
After watching the second match everyone was expecting that again South Africa will win the third match. But like you said that was Captains Match(hahaha!) means from both teams Captains played well. By the way that was a good target which South Africa Women team given to the SriLankan women team. And Laura Wolvaardt was good from South Africa team she made 184 runs. But when I looked at the stats of Sri Lankan team I admired Chamari Athapaththu she also played really well. She didn't get out until they win. She made 195 runs. That was an amazing Match. I also congratulate the SriLankan women team for their win.
Athapaththu's unbeaten 195* led Sri Lanka to a historic victory, marking the highest successful run chase in women's cricket. It's not just any win; it's truly remarkable!
Both captains put on a fantastic performance. But, Chamari Athapaththu deserves all the applause for her sensational knock. Her brutal innings left South Africa shell-shocked. It was a privilege to witness her powerful strokes as she breezed her way to an epic world record win. Congratulations to the lady Lion!

Finally, Al Ain successfully stopped Al Hilal's record of 34 wins in all competitions after winning with a score of 4-2 in the first leg of the AFC Champion League semifinals. After many teams difficult for defeating Al Hilal still has any AFC Champion League teams giving the first defeat for Al Hilal and their 34 winning record stopped. But Al Hilal opportunity with treble winner in this season not close yet because still has second leg match and need to win above three goals if want qualify to final round of AFC Champion League.

In domestic league match, Al Hilal will face Al Ahli and seems make rotation for second AFC Champion League match, has 12 points remaining from Al Nassr seems secure with top position awhile for Al Hilal in domestic league and want to focus awhile win second leg match in AFC Champion League.
Every record is meant to be broken; nothing lasts forever. It's pretty certain that their unbeaten streak will end sooner or later. Al-Hilal's impressive 43-game unbeaten streak has finally been broken, along with their 34-game winning streak, which was the longest in football history. To be fair, Al-Hilal is facing tough competition today. They used to dominate others, but now they're experiencing the same treatment.
There's still the second leg to come, and hopefully, Al-Hilal will bounce back and win the game. Football is indeed an unpredictable sport!

This season, Haaland is not that good at scoring goals, so I was not surprised by his performance against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League. Real Madrid's defense was so solid that they were able to make Haaland not score a goal in both Real Madrid's home and Manchester City's home. Even in the Premier League this season, Haaland is struggling to score many goals for Manchester City like he did for them last season in all competitions.
In fact, it is not appropriate to say that Haaland is not good at scoring goals this season in any competition, because it also really depends on Haaland himself supplying the ball from the middle and also from the edge. It will always be difficult for a striker to score more goals if there are no players who pass the ball better to him in every match so it is not appropriate to say that Haaland is not good at scoring goals because it requires good cooperation within each team.
Haaland is indeed a goal scoring specialist, but if his movements are limited by the opponent, he still won't be able to do more. During the match against Madrid, Haaland actually never scored a single goal if I'm not mistaken. And in my opinion, Haaland still depends on the ball supply from his teammates, so if it's not strange when he doesn't get a pass, his role is not visible at all for more than 90 minutes. There were several opportunities, but because they did not result in goals, they were considered insignificant in the end. Manchester City doesn't need to feel embarrassed about this defeat because they controlled the game from the start, but once again the essence of a match is the final result. No matter how good you are at controlling the ball, keep attacking, but if you lose, you still lose, meaning the opponent you are facing has a warrior mentality. Ancelotti realized that his defense line in the 1st leg was very weak, so in the 2nd leg he implemented a defensive system using only counter attacks and letting Man City control the ball completely, it was all part of Ancelotti tactics.
Haaland didn't score, and there might be a reason for that. He didn't perform too well against Real Madrid in both matches. Even with a lot of possession, Man City couldn't win against Real Madrid. Madrid's strong mentality, dedication, and teamwork helped them secure the win in this must winning match. They showed their strength tonight and got revenge for last year's defeat. While ball possession has helped many teams win games, Madrid's solid defense was the key this time. Man City didn't capitalize on their chances as effectively as they usually do. Despite City being considered the stronger team, Madrid outperformed them. Finally, Real Madrid managed to beat City at their home ground.

Some lucky punters might have made a killing when RR's winning chances were less than 1%, truly bonker and considering the outcome, I won't hesitate to say that one of the best 100 I've witnessed in recent times as far as T-20 is concerned.

---------------------------
Surprisingly DC bossing the game atm, well these guys need 2 points badly.
 

Seems like GT will help DC today in getting two points and reviving there IPL journey once again. Five top order batsmen are gone and score is just 47 in 8.3 overs. GT are likely to give a target of around 120 and if that happen then chances of DC making a come back in IPL will go bright. Sai Sudharsan is the only one to make it to double figures so far, he is top scorer with 12 runs. DC have got a chance and they must not miss it at any cost.    

Looking at the batting performance of Gujarat Titans today, it seems that their batting performance is worst. It is really sad for GT that they have lost important wickets at the moment. Gujarat Titans might give away two points in today's match, looking at their batting performance, it looks like Delhi Capitals will steal the win from them today. Currently they have lost 6 important wickets but comparatively they have not scored much runs their score is only 65 runs in 11 overs which is very low. Currently they have only four wickets in hand, surely they will be under more pressure later and in today's match I think even 120 runs will be very difficult for Gujarat to collect. Having already lost one more wicket and having just three wickets in hand, their poor batting performance looks like they will not be able to meet the 100-run target in today's match.
Delhi Capitals chose to bowl first, and it seems like a smart decision now. Gujarat Titans have already lost eight wickets, which isn't an ideal start for them. Delhi Capitals are showing dominance with their bowling, and Rishabh Pant is doing his usual good work behind the wickets. At this point, it looks like even reaching 100 runs will be a challenge for Gujarat.
* however Rashid Khan is scoring some quick runs, and that's the bright side.

I was about to have a look at the betting odds on the next most important match scheduled for this round of Serie A, namely the derby Milan - Inter and I was quite surprised to see all the odds quite substantial. I'm not sure Inter can be proclaimed champion of Italy in this match even though for the bookmakers they are the favourite, I think the scudetto will be awarded much later

Inter Milan has truly earned their dominance. They're destined to be champions; it's just a matter of time. While the Scudetto race is already decided, AC Milan still has control over the Europa League. Now, let's see if AC Milan is going to bottle it.

What this??


Barcelona vs PSG

I don't believe that Barcelona has really finished in this round I thought Barcelona could win the match again in the second leg but it turns out that Barcelona actually suffered a crushing defeat to PSG with a score of 4:1 for PSG's victory, thus increasing PSG's total aggregate to 6 aggregates while Barcelona became 4 aggregate, I didn't expect Barcelona to lose at home even though many people favored them to be able to qualify for the semifinals with a bigger advantage to get rid of PSG easily but I think this happened because Barcelona lost balance when Barcelona lost 1 defender, thus weakening Barcelona's defense and this is a golden opportunity for PSG to make a surprising epic comeback. Congratulations to PSG for successfully qualifying for the semifinals and will face previous opponents Dortmund in the Champions League group stages.

I have high hopes for PSG to reach the final this season, if you look at previous performance PSG seems to be superior to Dortmund in the two meetings this season. PSG can beat Dortmund at home and get a draw in the away game so PSG can do the same thing as before to reach the final, but sometimes PSG also loses its performance when it enters increasingly difficult rounds because Dortmund is also not an easy opponent for PSG.
I think most people expected Barcelona to win the second leg. It's disappointing that Barcelona got knocked out of the Champions League. They focused on defending, but it didn't work out for them. I thought Barcelona had a good chance, but PSG defeated them at their home ground. Araujo's absence made a big difference; Barcelona's defense looked vulnerable without him. Their defense is like a leaky sieve, allowing goals too easily.

It was foolish of me to believe Barcelona could advance. There's no point dwelling on it or blaming the referee. Now, their focus shifts to La Liga, but only if Real Madrid lose their games.

Cole Palmer has been making a great efforts on Chelsea matches for a while now, there is no match he doesn't perform well, however all thanks to him on there last match against Everton because he score the first goal and was not up to 6 minutes he score the second goal and before the last minute he has already scored up to 4 goals, so actually the role he played on Chelsea is a remarkable one and his good performance has touched their coach that doesn't allow him to be on the bench.

Without Cole Palmer, Chelsea would had been fighting relegation battle with the teams in the bottom of the table, cole palmer is the reason Chelsea are almost close to breaking into the top part of the table and be in the European competition discussion. But Cole Palmer did something I did not like in yesterday game. He was already on three goals and having the match winning ball to take home, why did he still have to take the penalty that other players could have use to boost their confidence. Chelsea did not need that last goal to win the game and in spite of the penalty being missed, the game was already won and the Everton players did not have any more strength left in them to win the game. The penalty would had been given to another player that is struggling to lift his confidence, Jackson should have played it.
Absolutely, we can't deny his undeniable talent and contribution to step up his club. He's definitely a rising star in football. However, it might be premature to label him as the best just yet; let's wait and see how he performs next season. We've seen many hyped-up players struggle with consistency in the past, so I just hope he can maintain his form.
As for Palmer's decision to take the penalty, it's his role as the designated penalty taker. Even though he was already on a hat-trick, it's his responsibility to take any penalty, regardless of his goal tally. Converting penalties isn't an easy task, but Palmer makes it look effortless, so he deserves our respect.

Not sure that Barcelona will actually catch up with Madrid, it seems they will focus more on the UCL which maybe there is still hope of qualifying for the next round by eliminating PSG, Madrid will become Laliga champions this season and I am sure of that if Madrid ends up being eliminated in the UCL because Manchester City beat them in the second leg, of course they will seriously focus on Laliga and will not let Barcelona catch up or overtake them at the top of the standings by getting a series of wins.

A difference of 8 points is of course something that is actually not difficult for Barcelona, but so far Madrid have not made a single mistake in each match and are actually on the winning path to keep their position safe and also maintain the point difference with Barcelona, if the second match takes place later. and Madrid wins the match against Barcelona of course that will determine who will win the title this season, it is certain that Madrid is more worthy of being champions of Laliga this season where last season Barcelona got it and this season Madrid took over from Barcelona in Laliga.
Currently Barcelona will focus and all out perform for tonight match against PSG, but if get good result and success qualifying to semifinal round in Champion League will get more motivate beating Real Madrid in this weekend. Get busy schedule match for both teams Madrid and Barcelona have important match not only in La Liga but also in Champion League, but Barcelona get more early for playing in champion league and has more enough time take recovery for el clasico match. For the first meet, Barcelona losses in their home match and they should revenge their loss on second meet at this week and must try to win if want get opportunity with La Liga tittle.

Real Madrid on the top position not secure yet behind has 8 points remaining from Barcelona, its difference opportunity if Barcelona taking three points on El Clasico match will be difference for Real Madrid to win La Liga tittle behind six matches left.
Xavi's plan is really paying off, his team is focused and showing good results. They seem more serious now, and I have faith in this team. Barcelona is currently playing without much pressure, so their chances of success and qualifying for the Champions League semifinals seem more realistic than the French side's. If the Spanish side wins today's match, it will surely boost their confidence ahead of the El Clasico clash. Meanwhile, Real Madrid hasn't secured their position in La Liga yet, so anything can happen. The El Clásico match next week will change the equation.
I strongly believe that any Spanish team should aim to win the UEFA Champions League this season and regain dominance over Europe.

Impact player rule plays a big part here but

Short boundaries and flat pitches are equally responsible for this chaos. In White ball cricket or particularly T-20I/Franchise cricket i don't mind, bat dominating the ball or In a long tournament like IPL, 2-3 such matches are okay but this sort of humiliation should not become a norm at any cost and equation should be 60-40 in favor of batters. 
Agreed. It's more like 80-20 in favor of batsmen currently in the IPL which is seriously crazy if you think about it. I fear that it will only get worse for bowlers in the IPL as time progresses.
Chinnaswamy has been a graveyard for bowlers for ages but this time, a couple of other venues are also going in the same direction, which isn't a pleasant sight and at times, a bit surprising to me.

For Visakhapatnam, Wankhede (Traditionally, Which is good for bowlers) I'd like to believe that it's a one-off case and things should get easier for bowlers because the pitch will wear off and get old as the tournament progresses.



While high-scoring matches can be entertaining, this time around such things turn into this chaos. How about bowlers just improve on these pitches? Nowadays, pitches are becoming too flat. It's not ideal as there's no balance between batting and bowling, which makes the game less interesting. So, several changes could be introduced. I'd prefer to have a minimum boundary length enforced, but that might be unrealistic since stadiums worldwide vary in size. However, RR has the best bowling economy in the IPL this season so far.
