At the World Cup, Argentina will be in Group C along with Poland, Mexico and Saudi Arabia. If we see an opponent like this then surely Argentina will go through to the next round, but when I consider winning the title I am not very sure. Because even, representatives from South America in my view Brazil is the best team because even though Brazil and Argentina are both unbeaten but Brazil still has a better winning record than Argentina during the qualifying round. With a record like that, although this is the last chance for Messi but still, Argentina is not the best in this world cup event.

Well... no one claimed that Argentina is the best team at the world cup. Without an argument, Brazil has the highest chances of winning the cup this time around. What favors Argentina is the recent form and presence of Lionel Messi. And since it is probably his last world cup, I am sure that the Argentine team would give their best attempt. Irrespective of the betting odds, this is the best squad Argentina has sent to the world cup ever since 1986. But I don't know whether that is enough to lift the trophy this time.

@hahay initially I thought that it would be England who would have a good chance of winning it, but currently I feel that it’s either Brazil or Argentina only one of them can win it. @Sithara007 about Messi we’ll have to see how he performs for PSG this season, because it’ll give us an idea as to how he’ll be performing at the World Cup and personally I see Argentina till the semis at least, but what about others anyone feeing that they’ll make it to the finals?.

It's tough but not impossible tbh. Also trend in this particular test match is kinda weird, first 2 days we saw 2 batting collapse and low score but now scoring rate is getting better, it happened for SL and same thing happening with Pak in this inning.

They already got a good start and openers are looking good too. Pakistan do have a habit of collapse tho.

They need another 274 runs and Babar Azam is yet to come to bat. So far the two openers have handled the Sri Lankan spinners well. But as you said, a batting collapse can occur at any point with Pakistan. Actually I am surprised with the resilience being shown by the Lankans. Agreed that they are playing under home conditions. But with civil war like situation prevailing over the country, it is very difficult to stay focused.  Anyway, in all probability the match will be decided by today itself. Two sessions and almost 60 overs of play are remaining.

@JSRAW I feel that Pakistan are in a very strong position now and they can’t lose, because they have scored 87 runs without the loss of any wicket, plus they have lots of time on their hand to win this game. @Sithara007 while we have seen in the past Pakistan batting lineup collapse, I sincerely doubt that they’ll collapse now because they don’t need to take any kind of risks, and only need to take singles hence it’s mission impossible for Srilanka to win this game.

Good to see two legends Baber Azam and Virat Kohli sharing some caring tweets for each other.
Both need to remember :- Every rise has a fall

When a good cricketer cannot find his form despite repeated attempts, his state of mind can naturally break down ‍and in order to move around during this time, he must be supported. He should be encouraged. Babar Azam is doing that. What a cricketer should do. I think they both have  good relationship which is really appreciable.
I have seen that post too - Babar Azam is loved and liked by everyone in Pakistan too. And they have strong bond with Indian players too. Kholi is not in form these days. Either he should try coming back to his career or sky's limit he is talened and he can find his spot somewhere else.
Baber Azam plays from Pakistan, so everyone in Pakistan likes him  Smiley Apart from the differences and political conflicts between the two countries, people from both nations like both the players and love to see their matches.

It does feel really encouraging to see two players having a positive conversation even though both countries are under a lot of political tension. The people of both countries are also quite different in terms of thought processes. I have to say these are the things that make me realize Indian players actually do not want Pakistan to not play in India. If the board was run by actual cricket players who know what to do, we would have seen a lot more bilateral series between India and Pakistan,. 

Anyway, I think I am getting too political myself  Grin. There is something inspiring about people not feeling animosity toward their opponents and also about friendly competition.
Babar Azam is a heart throb - people love him in Pakistan and he is an amazing person as well.
He has seen very tough time during his childhood now he drives amazing car. God always bless the hard workers and honest workers.

I too agree that this tweet is much better instead of all the criticism Virat has been getting from former player’s, and this shows that these two sides chose humanity over their natural rivalry. Furthermore don’t you’ll think that Virat needs to step away from the team and get back to his basics, because we need him firing for the T20 World Cup but at this current rate the team management will have to drop him, hence shouldn’t he try and revive himself before it’s too late?.

Ah I had no idea about the extra WoF spins! Never noticed it even when I was doing heavy wagering though, so I wonder if maybe I just did all my spins without noticing or I just did them outside of promo periods. Pretty sure I wagered a pretty decent amount not more than 2 months ago and didn't notice. Mind sharing a link or screenshot for this option? Tried looking around but I must be quite blind as can't see any place to exchange WoF to RP from wager...

I know you can exchange RP to WoF but that's not really an additional bonus to me, and it's hard to tell if you're making or losing more since each costs 50 RP! Winning lottery tickets to me kinda lower your edge.
There are both on the website and also on your mail type of situation. Honestly, I never really worked hard towards the WOF spins, what I care about a lot in the fun token part is to have a higher and higher interest rate for me.

If I could reach the max, then I could just gain more and more. That locked money period means that you are going to not only profit from the income of it, but you could reinvest it all, and then you could just earn even more when the price goes up. That's the important thing and I care about it a lot. Ignore anything else, you do not have to care about anything else. Sure wof spins are good too, but if you catch up to it and work hard, that's still just like a small amount.

@slaman29 whenever you’ll login Freebitco they’ll show that you have WoF spins to claim, so always keep an eye on the dashboard next time you won't miss it. Lastly while the interest part is good I yet like converting my RP into free WoF and I have won decent Satoshis, and even won a golden ticket once hence I guess different users will have different strategies for maximising their earnings from Freebitco.

For the record, I have never submitted any form of identification to Roobet aside from the tier 1 identification which doesnt involve submitting anything aside from filling information on the site. Im not sure if this is going to affect me in any way because I havent try to withdraw yet
Thats weird. The verification is for level 2, and i dont think the level 1 kyc has expiration. Maybe this is an error since you said that you only comply on the needed information for level 1. Did you check your account verification level, what does it says? Anyway I dont think it will affect your account unless it is stated as compulsory. Ask the chat support for clarification.

@aralimuss there’re two possibilities here according to their AML policy 1) this is a random check being done to ensure your details match with what you entered the first time, second possibility is that they have encountered a discrepancy or feel that something is not right either way you can fill it or you won’t be able to withdraw.  @lienfaye their AML policy clearly states that without submitting level one KYC one can’t withdraw, and that’s why I keep telling people to read about a casino kyc policy before you play there.

I fell for the UCL qualifiers trap, betting on favorites and many of them lost,,, Bodo/Glimt for example. I feel like after their performance against Roma now they are weirdly having low odds.


juts don't bet on events with teams you're not familiar with, skip CL qualifiers and definitely, definitely skip Conference League qualifiers. Premier League and Bundesliga kick off in three weeks, just hodl 😌
This is 100% true. If you are not watching the games of the teams you are betting on, there is a 90% chance you will lose. If you are wagering on the teams at the top, teams that we all know, and you have watched them like at least half a dozen times last season, and probably all friendlies even this year, then you would know how to bet on those teams and what could happen.

Don't get me wrong, we still get it wrong even when it's the teams we like to watch but that is at least a bit less riskier because we know them and it could just be a shock to us. But, when you wager on a team you have never seen before, or at least watched like maybe just one game in a whole year, then its risk not worth taking.

I believe that it’s a rookie mistake wagering on the favourites in matches that one’s not familiar with, because I too wagered in BBL randomly and lost lots of money. Furthermore I believe for the premier league wagering on City is a safe bet as I expect them to win maximum matches, and in La Liga this time I’ll pick Barcelona over Real Madrid to win and one can’t go wrong while wagering on these two teams (they may lose an match here or there, but my gut says that they’ll yet win maximum matches this season.)

The new site looks really good and feels much much smoother than the last iteration, I also saw that a bunch of new games got added which is very nice. FJ back to the top baby Wink
New website works better for me than the old one, but it's still lot slower than how Sportsbet or Livecasino are loading.
Sometimes I need to wait almost a minute until new page or something from search is opened.
I don't know the reason why this is happening only on Fortunejack website, even after deleting history and cookies.
Only way to prove this is to make a video, and I plan to do this in next few days.

@Hhampuz indeed this new look is slick and loads much better on mobile and after testing it’s loading well on iPad too, so job well done for the FJ team.

Seems like your internet service provider doesn't like FortuneJack Grin. Have you ever tried to access the site from a different ISP? The new UI of FortuneJack is really great. As ‘Hhampuz’ said above, I have also found it smoother than before.
No I didn't try accessing website with different ISP, and that could create other problems if IP addresses are changed.
I just tried opening Fortunejack with different Firefox browser and it really worked much faster, but it was without me doing log in.
I will have to try doing one more reset and erasing all history or switching to different browser, because Fortunejack is almost unusable for me now.
Just completed and I think that Fortunejack has issues with Brave browser Sad


@notblox1 what about trying it on Bing, or there’s a new search engine yep.com (in beta) you can try and use it and see if it solves the issue that you’re currently facing on brave browser.

the first match of the second Bundesliga of the 2022/2023 season is over.
the red devils ( Kaiserslautern) have won against Hannover 96 with 2: 1.
the stadium of kaiserslautern was sold out . almost 40K fans could see the match . the decisive goal was scored until the 92 minute !
i bet on a draw 1:1. until shortly before the end it looked very good..but then  Roll Eyes

@Soonandwaite I’m kinda disappointed as I was expecting Hannover 96 to win this fixture, but it looks like that they’ll need to put in lots of hard work if they want better results this season. Also you’re right it was very close and the match could definitely have ended in a draw, and matches like these are the reason why I avoid wagering on the opening matches as there’s lot of uncertainty regarding the team’s form.
1569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: July 16, 2022, 04:47:26 AM
Manchester United pre season matches results seems very promising that they can able to win 2 times in a row and on those matches Anthony Martial always score goals and i think this is good for the team because for next season Manchester United have no experience striker besides him especially if Ronaldo leave and Ten Hag probably will make him as main striker although they will buy new players on that position but he considering Martial will be his high priority and also Ten Hag believe Martial will return to his top performance again

@bering while the attacking side was almost perfect, the defending was really bad and I hope that Hen Tag will consider dropping Maguire and Luke Shaw and replace them with the new player’s brought. Furthermore Martial seems rejuvenated, and if he continues in this fine form then the pressure to score goals will be reduced on Ronaldo and Manchester United will be able to win more matches.
1570  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: July 15, 2022, 12:38:23 PM
There were many rumors about de Ligt leaving Juventus and moving to either Chelsea or Bayern. But so far Juventus doesn't seem to have received an offer they are satisfied with. The Chelsea deal is definitely off because they have agreed terms with Koulibaly from Napoli. Juventus considers Bayern's offer too low and isn't willing to accept it. With the club bringing in Di Maria and Pogba, and probably Zaniolo, de Ligt seems to have more reasons to stay with Juve. I am reading about his considering extending his current contract, but with a lower release clause for the first time in weeks.   

My guess is that Matthijs de Ligt will be with Juventus next season. I heard rumors that Matthijs de Ligt will join Chelsea. But Chelsea is no longer interested in de Ligt. And so Juventus will not decide to seal Matthijs de Ligt this season. They are strengthening the team. de Ligt The right player for Juventus's defense. Matthijs de Ligt also had a good performance with Juventus last season. He will remain in Juventus' jersey next season.

@Pmalek I’m sincerely hoping that he stays with Juventus this season, because then Ten Hag can bring him to Manchester United next season.


If Juventus manage to keep de Ligt at the team their defense is going to stay solid and credible. Juventus want to be hopeful about none of those teams to offer an insane amount of money to sign him for now. However I have seen some news like Bayern Munich offered 90 million euros for him already. This must be the amount Juventus want for him. Or maybe they will resist about letting him go by only his release clause. It must be around 120 million euros so I don't think Bayern Munich or Chelsea would pay that much.

@Vekvet78 I don’t think that Bayern will pay so much for him, because their main priority would be to buy a striker in case Lewandowski leaves hence in my personal opinion this rumour is false.
1571  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 15, 2022, 07:41:13 AM
When it comes to competitive leagues, it's a far cry from the Premier League. In the Premier League it is very clear that all clubs have a high level of competition, the top flight, the middle board, even in the relegation zone they are still very tight. While here for the championship competition, it may be said that there is no more, what remains is the struggle for the Champions League and European zones which are still slightly felt.
Bayern's dominance is indeed very difficult to penetrate, but even so the Bundesliga remains attractive because of the intense competition that occurs at the bottom of the standings and the race for Champions League zone tickets which still allows several teams to be contested.
but this is the Bundesliga that has been running for a decade with the same champion. and so far the Bundesliga remains a very interesting top European league.
What makes the Bundesliga interesting in my opinion is that it is true that one of the factors is the struggle for positions 3-5 which is sometimes difficult to predict because positions 1 and 2 actually belong to Bayern and Dortmund.
Apart from that there are some interesting things here, especially for their young players.
The Bundesliga always produces some pretty great young players every year so this is what makes them still one of the best leagues.

I believe that this all will change if Bayern can’t stop Lewandowski from leaving, because in his absence they’ll find it hard to defend their title this season. Furthermore I feel that this is the season where Dortmund can end Bayern’s glorious reign, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some other team stuns these two sides and win the title, hence anyone has any predictions as to which team can beat these two sides for the title?.
1572  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: July 15, 2022, 04:27:09 AM
Barcelona built a really good squad this year. If they get Lewandowski, the team will be complete. In midfield, Kessie will add a very good strength. Gavi, Pedri and De Jong are also in the midfield and it will be a nice jersey fight. On the defense they have Christensen, Araujo and Garcia, this year Pique may take less time. With Alba and Dest, they have a really good back line when you look at the team. In the forward, there are Fati, Raphinha and Torres, Dembele remains in the team, Aubameyang in striker and if Lewandowski comes that will be a though choice for Xavi. Let's not forget Memphis too. I think they can play for the championship with this squad.

Barcelona are already a complete squad and ready to compete at levels in the coming season, and they really don't need to sign Lewandowski to prove that, Xavi will already be faced with a difficult task of selecting his ideal first eleven players especially up front with a lot of players available at his disposal, with the addition of Raphinha and Dembele's contract renewal Barcelona now have 7 first team players available for the frontline of the pitch, and I don't think Xavi would be playing two center forward, so where does that leave Aubemeyang who only joined last season as well and has been somewhat impressive to be fair, players available for the flank too aren't going to be an easy choice to make, having such luxury of players might be an advantage in terms of a good rotation policy, but Barcelona finances would be an hinderance, while De Jong is said to be insisting he would rather stay at Barcelona, but a salary reduction is not an option for him.

I believe that De Jong and Memphis will be shown the exit door, plus there’re reports saying that over 11 player’s in total will also be told to leave the club, and that will become clear depending on who misses their preseason tour. Furthermore the key reason to get Lewandowski is that he guarantees goals, and that can help Barcelona win trophies hence it makes absolute sense why they’re targeting him.

I would say France has the most star players in this World Cup. But in Euro, we have not seen a better performance than France. Moreover, the performance of France in the last few matches was weak. On the other hand, Spain has a lot of talented players, but they are not experienced enough. And so to me, the squads of Brazil and Argentina seem the most stable and strong. Because there is continuity in the performances of these two teams, which I do not see in the performances of France or Spain.
Surprised that you have mentioned Argentina. I have checked their recent record, and honestly, I couldn't find any consistency. One good thing with Argentina is that whatever issues they had with team bonding seems to have got resolved. There was always an argument that Lionel Messi performs better with Barcelona (and now with Paris Saint-Germain), when compared to the Argentine national team. With Brazil, I have never heard about any such issues. Their team bonding seems to be perfect.
I still think that Argentina has a lot of problems and that those problems are getting slowly resolved. On next world cup i dont thimk they can give their 100%. They have an amazing attack but they suck at defence and i think the entire team just wont go well togheter
Some problems exist in all teams. To solve these problems the coach will need good match strategy. If the match strategy and bonding between the players is good then the result of the match will be in their favour. You think Argentina's defence is weak, but Argentina's defence is much more stable now than in the past. The Argentina team is full of talented players. However, if you want to be a world champion, you have to strengthen the bonding between the players

I believe that one should wager big on Brazil to win the World Cup, but if the odds are good then one can also wager a small bet on Argentina too because as you’ll rightly said these two teams are the favourites to win this World Cup. Also this might be Neymar’s final World Cup with Brazil hence he’ll want to win it, therefore my money is on Brazil to lift the World Cup, and lastly I’m keen to know what specific reasons you have for selecting your favourite team.

Manchester United 4-0 Liverpool
[...]

Even though this was a friendly game between the Premier League giants, Liverpool will not hold the psychological edge when they meet in the premier league on 22nd August because under ten Hag they seem to effective going forward, the opposite of what was happening when Rangnick was their temporary manager. There is a balance of experience and fearless youth in this Manchester United squad.

Liverpool ended up finishing the game using van Dijk, Salah, Konate, Fabinho, Thiago, Robertson, Keita and all the main players but they lost 0-4.

I think Sadio Mane will be missed by Liverpool, he was a huge presence in the dressing room and on the pitch for them and their performances will suffer this season because even with the acquisitions they have made this season they will be unable to replace such as iconic figure immediately. Liverpool will be a weaker team without Mane whereas Manchester United already so bad last season cannot get any worse and the only direction for them is up.

I'm not sure it's particularly illustrative of anything, the score was 4-0 to United here, but apparently Liverpool used more than 30 different players over the course of the match, so I can't imagine there will have been much flow to their play. And Liverpool also apparently hit the post three times.

I'm not sure that we can say much about it, as you say it may conceivably give United a psychological edge when they play for real... but I don't think this would be enough to overcome the fact that Liverpool are the far superior team of the two, and when it comes to a real match you'd still expect Liverpool to win.

@Cnut237 what @JollyGood is trying to saying is that Manchester United won’t be scared of facing them in the premier league, because last season even before the match began it felt like Manchester United had already given up, because the morale was completely gone. Lastly while we attacked well defensively we’re yet weak, hence we need signings and we immediately need a new CM cause because I don’t want to see McFred play much during the season.
1575  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 14, 2022, 03:53:08 AM
Koulibaly has arrived in London to complete his medical before flying to Los Angeles in the coming hours to be unveiled and join the squad. Raheem Sterling has spent one season with the team.

One down, two more defenders to go, probably Kimpembe or Koulibaly and then Ake. Let's not sign all three as that'll not give playings time to Levi Colwill and he's one of the younglings I'll love Tuchel to give a chance to. Look how giving Trevoh Chalobah, James etc some opportunity to prove themselves played out, Colwill should also be given same opportunity or we'll reject just as we have in the past since we're known for letting our young talents leave the club or go on loans.

Let's get it done with the defense quickly so some attention can be given to the attack. Yes we have secured sterling but is that enough to compete with Liverpool and Manchurian city for the title, not yet. We need a striker or better alternative to our current attacking force assuming we'll be using Havertz as a false 9 next season.

@CryptopreneurBrainboss I believe that now Tuchel will focus on getting a striker, and slowly and steadily Tuchel is building the exact team he wants and this will make premier league more exciting to watch next season. Lastly I don’t think that they can afford Neymar, and now I’m not sure if any good striker is available in the transfer market so whom do you think that they can target now?.

Probably yes, but he knows he will have the immediate task of winning UCL AND there is also the thing about Mbappe supposedly having a say n the club direction. This isn't clear to me what it is or if a coach like Zidane could tolerate powershare.

Having Zidane in the ranks of a team and being the France coach at the same time, this will attract more attention, it is well known the impeccable work he did when he was the technical director of Real Madrid, he did not see any failure, I also remember even when CR7 began to have some problems with the Treasury of Spain and only Zidane managed to keep him for his team. Zidane not only represents being a good coach, I think he can transmit much more to him if he focuses as a player, sometimes when they played some short shots, when they trained, Zidane also got in to play and I miss seeing that mastery and class for his feints, really For me he is a very complete technician.

Well, maybe he thought one Ronaldo was enough, but to handle 5 of them (of course Messi being the only real contender but you've got big egos and big delegations all at PSG too) maybe was too much for him.

Anyway. Am I being dumb for thinking to take PSG outright winners for both UCL and Ligue 1? I already have Barcelona but I can't help that.

I'm thinking also Monaco over 20x to win Ligue 1. I have a feeling!

@slaman29 had Zidane turned up at PSG then he would have inherited a rich talented squad, and by selling few player’s he could have easily stitched a very strong squad as per his needs, and only then would have I said that PSG are the favourites to win the champions league this season. However now I expect Manchester City to finally win the champions league this year, and I also doubt that PSG will lose the league title again hence in my opinion it’ll be PSG who’ll be winning the Ligue 1 title.

India needs experienced players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma on a platform like the World Cup. Virat Kohli is now going through the worst time of his career. He has been consistently performing poorly, and the BCCI is still keeping them in the squad. Because BCCI now wants Kohli to perform in the World Cup. But in the next two series, if Virat Kohli fails consistently and cannot perform well. Then I don't think BCCI will keep Virat Kohli in the World Cup squad.
I disagree with your suggestion. Virat has proved to be a panauti (bad omen) for India in ICC tournaments, without exception. And his bad luck starts with the toss itself. I have reasons to believe that if India wants to win any of the ICC trophies, then Kohli needs to be kicked out of the playing XI. And his monkey like behavior on the field is irritating for people like me. He is now in his mid 30s and should know how to behave in front of the crowd. First of all, India needs someone young as the captain, and oldies such as Kohli needs to be kicked out.

Personally, I don't like Kohli's behavior either. However, these behaviors often have an effect on the opposing batsmen. However, despite his bad behavior, he is a great player. After 2019 till now we have not seen any good performance from Kohli. However, do not forget that the team needs experienced players on platforms like the World Cup. It is difficult to perform well in the World Cup depending on the young players. And I'm not the one with you that India needs a young captain in the World Cup. Choosing a captain without experience will have a devastating effect on the Indian team.

@Sithara007 each player is different and I remember that there was a time when other team player’s were sledging Indian’s, but Kohli took the fight to them however lately he’s lost his way and as harsh as it may sound maybe axing him may not be a bad idea. Also I do understand that the player who’ll replace him will be under tremendous pressure, but if Kohli can’t score big anytime soon then he should step aside and let another player step up and perform for the team.

First when I check scorecard I was in shock what the hell is going here because Australia completely destroy by a debutant bowler and no one able to resist even they play good against Pakistani spinners but still this is big achievement from them and now today I was reading if you believe in magic then surely something happen like this because star batsman and former captain Chandimal is famous for this trick, and he has done again for his team.

Nathan Lyon was surely big disappointment for visitors even he was hero in first test match and having man of the match so this only happen in cricket in one match you are hero and in second you are going to be play as vilan.

This was not expected from Australia. I remember the case when players like Steve Waugh and Adam Gilchrist was in the Australia squad. They used to completely dominate matches being held in the sub-continent. Spinners had a tough time bowling against them. But now the situation has completely reversed. Hardly anyone in the Australian squad is capable of playing against spin. Even batsmen with a lot of experience, such as David Warner and Steven Smith failed against inexperienced spinners during the second innings.

@Visnu.Reang Srilanka deserves this victory as their player’s showed that with sheer determination one can defeat the mighty Australia, and secondly I feel that the recent events that have been taking place might have given them the extra motivation that they needed for this victory. Lastly I believe that Australian player’s will learn from this experience, and perform better against the spinners because it’s clear that they underestimated the spinners and paid the price for it.

I think we need to find ways to make cricket popular and obviously, that is not possible if the ICC itself does not want that in the first place. Obviously, ICC is not controlled by ex-cricketers and most of the leading personnel of ICC are businessmen. So, it is obvious that they will be looking for revenue rather than thinking about popularizing the game. And I know we cannot do anything. We just have to accept it but cricket is not going to survive for a long period of time if this keeps on happening.

I don't think that cricket will die out all of a sudden. It will remain very popular in the sub-continent for a variety of reasons. First of all, the sub-continent population is physically not suitable for sports such as football and basketball. And then, they prefer a sport where physical activity is minimal. Cricket is ideal in this situation. But the risk is with other regions. Cricket is going down in popularity almost everywhere else. In South Africa and West Indies, it is no longer one of the popular sports. The same can happen in Aus-NZ and England as well.

I don’t understand how do you make a sport like cricket more popular than it already is, and the proof is in the insane bids for IPL advertising rights. Furthermore not all countries like cricket and that’s fine in my personal opinion, and lastly it’s no wonder that ICC is more focused on the big 3 matches as they know their citizens love cricket and it also helps them earn substantial revenues.

England vs India

The first ODI match between England and India will be played today. I am so excited to enjoy this match. Because in the Test format we have seen the extraordinary performance of England. But they played badly in the T20, as important players like Bairstow and Stokes were not present in the squad. But players like Root, Bairstow and Stokes will perform in ODI format. And so it will be more difficult for India to win the ODI match now. But I am worried enough that, will Kohli get a chance to be in the squad for this match?
IND chose to bowl first in the first ODI between England and India. Kohli drops this match! It has been a year since Root, Stokes, and Bairstow last played in an ODI. It has been a long time since England had a better batting line-up than they have today. Bumrah and Shami have a good pace bowling attack, so we're excited to see them in this ODI series. They strike early, resulting in the loss of four quick wickets for Eng. It's a struggle situation for Eng..

@onecall123 Bumrah has ripped apart the England batting lineup, and now it’s up to Buttler to play a heroic innings otherwise England will suffer an humiliating defeat. Furthermore Kohli misses out due to an injury and I feel that’s it’s a blessing in disguise for him as he’s going through a lean patch, but I’m also hoping that he’s back for the second ODI.
