As Afghanistan's opening pair have batted brilliantly, they should have at least given a target of more than 320/330. 300 runs is not enough to win yet. If the bowlers perform well, a win of 300 runs is possible. But the problem is that Pakistan's batsmen are very experienced. Pakistan's batsmen will take advantage of such a flat pitch very well. Afghanistan's bowlers are talented enough but they are unlikely to do well against Pakistan's batsmen.
Pakistan batsmen are batting very carefully. They collected only 23 runs in 5 overs. They know very well that they will have no problem winning this match if they don't lose quick wickets. This is why they are batting slowly even though the target is big.

Some more negative news is that Real Madrid wants to make a final offer shortly before the transfer market closes because that doesn't give PSG a lot of room for negotiation. If this is true, there is still a chance that PSG will not nominate Mbappe for the game against Lens and if they do, Mbappe wouldn't dare to play his best and perhaps risk an injury. I think we won't have a final answer until the very last minute of this transfer period has passed. For PSG Mbappe is a critical player as they won't get any better obviously without him. But maybe it's better for them to finally have an answer to all of this then to be in the headlines every single day. But the tactical considerations by Real Madrid make sense. PSG would have to make a decision whether they take a big loss next year or go for the money this year and put a full stop to this story.

300 used to be a daunting target in the last decade but not in recent times, especially on the flat decks.

This scoreline might look good, considering the Afghans were up against a quality bowling lineup but IMO they wasted a good start and they had a chance to touch a 320-ish target.

So, not sure if it's a winning score and it shouldn't be too tough for Pakistan. Unless the spin trio comes to the rescue again.

Things have really changed in football and the female side particularly. Like in the past Nigeria didn't have astonishing performance in the world stage beating Australia while england had a narrow win over them. I think what has contributed this positive change that have given fans something to relish on is the soccer tourism if I may call it that because we have some players who are club mate in Europe and America just like it is in the male side unlike when it was dominated by one club side.

according to the predictions that I have analyzed even though the Bayern Munich and Augsburg matches will be competitive matches because Augsburg have beaten Munich but that was in the past and now we see the perfect line up and also there are quality players in the line up on the one hand the match will take place on The Allianz Arena, which gives Munich a bigger chance to win even while playing at home to Munich, has never been beaten but always beat Augsburg.
it is very certain and easy to see if this match Bayern Munich will win and taking advantage of this match to my advantage I bet all in on this match there is no doubt.

I don't simply know what you are talking about, Bayern Munich is different from the feat you describe here, they started well, I see nothing against their last match, it went well. Maybe you don't know what you are talking about, Bayern had 4 goals against Werder that had nothing and they played remarkably well as well. Still, I saw a tough game ahead for them when they met Augsburg. If the club could be serious is playing Bayern, it would not be an easy win for them despite the high odds for them.
Augsburg had a good play with Monchengladbach, though it ended in an equalizer but it was a very good one. All they need is to work well on their defence, it seems too porous as they might have won the match if not for that.

That's showing if galatasaray has even more solid defensive line compared with molde. I saw that from the stats if molde had been made 6 goal attempts, but only two were successfully converted into the goal. I believe galatasaray had more than 90% chance to win the second match. Molde needs a miracle to make it happen. The club had no choice other than to use the offensive strategy since the game was starting. Im feeling so confident to pick galatasaray instead of molde for the second leg.
The chance to get ez money is very big right now. We can see that as an opportunity. Just hope that molde will not be lucky enough during the second leg.

Arsenal is going good, 2 wins in first 2 games. They didn't concede a goal even though they completed the match without Tomiyasu. They are looking definitely as good as last year. However, they need to increase the variety in the attack. They should shoot more accurately. Names other than Nketiah and Saka should also score, especially midfielders should contribute to the score.
Manchester City looks very good this season as well. Arsenal need to do something to make a difference. They couldn't handle the pressure last season and made a lot of mistakes in the last weeks. I hope they have learned from those mistakes and won't repeat them this season.

Lol it's amazing that fans have started commenting about Kane beating Lewandowski  record, I mean it's not impossible but come one Kane just got into the squad and needs to adapt very well into they system and maybe score a hat-trick in like 3-4 matches and several braces to meet up Lewandowski's record of 46goals in a season, well he's proven himself in Premier league when he almost broke the Alan Shearer all time goal scoring record in England and he's a player that could get up to 30 or more goals in a season and doing same in Bayern Munich might not be a difficult task for him that's if he remains in good form.
 Musiala has been a very good player a  prospect even while in the academy and has performed well for both Club and Country so I won't be surprised if he has a very good performance this season because that's what's expected of young prospects, to get better as they grow older, Bayern Munich would be more interested in the Champions league this season and I believe that's why they've bought some champions league experienced players like Kim for example to help challenge better this season.

Pochetino should be able to do that. He was given very abundant funds, he was given freedom of transfer. He should have many chances to make the player of his dreams. With Tottenham he was always in the top 7 so there is great hope he can do better with Chelsea. But indeed, as long as he has been a coach, no major championship title can be obtained.

Afghan batting has been in very poor shape for quite some time. Their bowlers are very popular across the various franchise T20 leagues. But for some unknown reason, they don't even have a single quality batsman. Hashmatullah Shahidi and Rahmanullah Gurbaz have featured in a few franchise leagues, but these players are inconsistent. Ideally, given that Afghanistan is being gifted with such talented bowlers (Rashid, Noor, Mujib.etc), they should be able to perform well in ODI cricket. But everytime, their poor batting is costing them matches.

Juventus successful start to the season is a morale booster and paves the way for improved play. The team seems set to compete with top competitors for titles this year under Allegri experienced leadership. There are memories of point deductions, but it is unlikely that they will happen again. Juventus has displayed some outstanding performance that shows they are capable of competing against even formidable foes like Napoli. They are ready for supremacy this season because they are exclusively focused on Serie A and it appears that their previous penalties have been resolved allowing them to fully concentrate on their football aspirations.

In principle, I did not expect a strong start from Chelsea, because Pochettino is just beginning to pick up the keys to the team's mechanism. For Chelsea, the most important thing now is to score maximum points with teams that are not the favorites of the Premier League. Manchester United is now a kind of black box for me, where it is unclear how the team will show itself. Ten Hag is under pressure now, and if last season all the fans of the team were touched that the team was among the leaders, remembering the previous season, then this season everyone is already expecting at least a fight for titles on a regular basis. However, 2 rounds is too little and can still change.

the next games start in a few days, they will be third round games, looking at this third round al nassr will have a lot of pressure because in 2 games they have not won in any game, which is something very worrying knowing that their biggest rival in the last season they did not lose in the two games they played, this made Al-Lttihad 6 points ahead, and a big difference in positions because last season Al-Lttihad was strong and realized that they were already stronger than al -nassr, but this season Al-Lttihad are much stronger with the arrival of karin benzema, Al-Lttihad coach is very smart, he put all good foreign players in midfield and attack

only left native players in the defense, and even so two of the native players that are in the defense play in the national team of saudi arabia, I'm talking about Ahmed Sharahili and Ahmed Bamsaud and the goalkeeper is foreign, that way Al-Lttihad managed to do with that the squad was very strong and at the same time respecting the local rules about the number of native players that must be present on the field, while in the case of the other teams the foreign players are very few, even in ronaldo's team only their attack and that there are all foreigners

but in the midfield there is only one foreign player and in defense the same thing, that makes them have a very weak squad, there is no way to compete with Al-Lttihad, so I see Al-Lttihad being champions this season again, I don't know what the coach and management of ronaldo's team think, but it seems to me that they are more concerned with publicity than with performance and the team becoming champions of the league

Why should be Sane leave Bayern Munich ? The latest news i readed and know was that Leroy Sane rejected an offer from Barcelona 2 Days ago.
And i guess after the first game in this season and how he has played nobody want that he will be leave Munich now.
I also dont know how Barca would be getting this 65 million deal to be done at the moment with there debts they have.

Their yesterday match was win by luck and it doesn't happen all the time. I was skeptical on betting the match but on realising what Manchester United did in their own last match, I had to remained neutral and watch them do their things and bless lord, they made it out with another 3 point to maintain their place in the standing, I'm just wondering where they will land this season. However, I'm still impress by there points but they need more to fight that Manchester City that has picked race for another Premier League title. It doesn't make sense when on only Etihad have more collections of all the Premier League in the last few years. We need change and I anticipate to see Newcastle or Arsenal take this Premier League before any other dominant teams.

Pakistan looks pathetic. They are 170/8 after 41 overs. The decision to bat first is turning out to be such a strategic blunder. Shadab Khan is at the crease along with tail-ender Naseem Shah. Afghan spinners are just breaking the backbone of Pakistan batting. Mujeeb Ur Rahman has completed his spell and he finished with figures of 10-1-33-3, while Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan have taken 2 wickets apiece. It looks unlikely that Pakistan will be able to bat the full 50 overs and they may end up with a total of less than 200.

It is obvious that Napoli victory over Frosinone demonstrated their successful start under Rudi Garcia. Despite the relative strength of the opposition, Napoli tenacious play and strong defence are encouraging indicators. Osimhen reliable form works in their favour. Although Napoli may not have been fully tested after the first win, the real test will come when they play tougher teams like Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan and AS Roma. These games will determine the strength of the team and Garcia tactical acumen, demonstrating if they can maintain their momentum for a successful title run.

Arsenal are going to be playing the last game of the week. They are playing away against Crystal Palace. Both sides started the season with a win. But clearly Arsenal are highly favoured to win this game. It is the beginning of the season maybe but Arsenal still seem decent now. After the recent transfers they have got stronger.
However I don't think Arsenal can win by a big goal gap. Even in the home game against Nottingham they couldn't do that. They might need some more time to have a better chemistry and start getting easier wins. Arteta has a solid system working for the team so I hope we can see them in a title race once again.

despite losing the figure of the captain who led in midfield with KDB and currently kdb is suffering from an injury long enough to return with the main squad, but there is a replacement figure in his position the captain of man city at the moment he is phil foden proven by 2 appearances in epl able to play a very good role in the midfield with mateo kovavic and rodri, I'm pretty sure by looking at the current manchester city midfield even though without kdb they will perform well because the main squad with their second squad have very good skills and mentality. so it's no wonder that Man City is predicted to win the UCL again in 2023/2024.
