I also think that Barcelona should make it to the semi-finals, but PSG is not such an easy team and anything can happen, if Mbappe has a good day, then PSG can win, of course, today’s match will be very difficult for PSG, Barcelona lost at home only to strong teams, such as Real or Girona, but PSG is also a strong team, and Enrique has nothing to lose, they needs to attack, because they only need a victory.
Barcelona has taken one step to the semifinals but Barcelona's position to really be sure of qualifying is still in doubt. Don't see PSG as a team that will always fail in the Champions League competition.
Barcelona needs a draw while PSG needs a win. Imagine how many goals PSG would need if they lost the first leg 2-3. The victory that PSG wants is not an easy task, which Enrique realizes, even though he has managed Barcelona as head coach.

It could also be that in this 2nd leg match, PSG made history at home to Barcelona when they beat them with a score of 1-4 in 2021 even though at that time Barcelona was very bad under Ronald Koeman.
Barcelona will likely stay unbeaten at home in the second leg. Hopefully, they'll take the lead in the first half, but PSG might close the gap with a Kylian Mbappe stunner. There will be plenty of goals, but Barcelona will win the second leg that's all. Mbappe struggled against Barcelona's defense, and they'll aim to contain him again tonight. Enrique has coached Barcelona before, but that won't change anything today. However, there are a lot of uncertainties ahead for sure.

Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore are going up against each other today in the 30th match of the Indian Premier League. Today RCB won the toss but they decided to field first which resulted in SRH getting the opportunity to bat. Sunrisers Hyderabad got off to a great start right from the start with their two opening batsmen Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma both in striking form. Looking at the batting of the Hyderabad batsmen today, it seems that the record of most runs they made against the Mumbai Indians is about to be repeated. So far Sunrisers Hyderabad have amassed 76 for no wickets in six overs with Travis Head already completing his fifty off just 21 balls. Sunrisers Hyderabad currently average 13.85 runs per over. Their average of runs per over suggests that they might be going to deliver another devastating innings to Royal Challengers Bangalore at their home ground today.
Reece Topley ends the 108-run opening partnership! Abhishek Sharma is out for 34 off 22 balls. But Travis Head is still going strong, ever after scoring a fifty off just 20 balls. If he keeps going, he could cause some serious trouble for Bangalore. Things look like other teams' batters really want to score a lot against RCB's bowlers. So, it won't be surprising if Hyderabad puts up another impressive innings today.

We can say with more certainty that Leverkusen will win the Bundesliga. Leverkusen played well in last night's match against Bremen, and they are the unbeaten champions so far this season, sitting at the top of the points table with 79 points. There is no other team that can compete with Leverkusen in the Bundesliga this season, with the likes of Bayern Munich also losing to them. While Bayan Munich has been the hottest in other seasons and won the championship in excitement but this season they are second in the points table with 63 points and they have now left the competition with Leverkusen. There is no other team in form to compete with Leverkusen this season so we can say for sure that the team in the best position this season is Leverkusen and they are attacking enough to win the title and we can guarantee that they will be champions.
Leverkusen has been on a tear this season. There's no denying it. They've straight-up dominated, that Bremen win was just the latest example. They've built a lead that even Bayern's gonna struggle to overcome. It's AMAZING to see a team break the mold in the Bundesliga, to see someone else up there for a change

But… can they keep it up? Do they have the gas in the tank to finish unbeaten? Look at their schedule, it ain't pretty. This is football, upsets happen. Plus, you gotta think about the Europa League semis taking their focus. They've got to juggle those priorities, and that could make or break them

I'm rooting for the upset, man. I want to see them pull it off. Imagine the story: Bundesliga champs AND Europa League winners? That'd be legendary

Bayern Leverkusen started the season in a very good note and even remained unbeaten till this very day but there's one thing that's been constant about their achievement this season and that's the part that many were questioning the sustainability of their impressive performance. At the start of the season, people were not fully convinced that the impressive start to the season of Bayer Leverkusen will get this point and I also read so many reports from different people who said that their run of good form isn't gonna last but to the surprise of many, they still managed to remain at the top and unbeaten till they were confirmed as the league winners.
Now, people are concerned if they will continue with this impressive performance next season. The club's biggest problem at the moment if you ask me is trying to keep most of the top performers in the team beyond the current season because I think many top European clubs will want to sign them from the club but if they can manage and keep most of the players at the club, I strongly believe that they'll be able to retain their impressive form

Bayern Leverkusen clinched their first-ever league title with an impressive unbeaten streak of 43 games. What an accomplishment for the team and their coach! We're all thrilled for Xabi's success, especially considering it's their debut season. It's a true underdog story, and we love it. Now, the challenge is to hold on to their top players and maintain their momentum for the next season. Let's hope they can continue their undefeated run in their upcoming matches. Leverkusen and the team did an amazing job, now anything looks like possible for them, including winning the DFB Pokal and UEL.

Amazing performance from crystal palace and that's unbelievable defensive strategy from palace. The club knew if anfield was not a scary place anymore. I strongly believe this is a snowball effect from the lose against atalanta. Finally, liverpool was almost out from the title race. Liverpool needs only to bottled 1 more match and this gonna be a disaster for the club.
Klopp was so frustrated with it and yeah liverpool's chance to win EPL is just getting even smaller than before. Im so happy with this result. Im still waiting for arsenal to bottled the next game. The competition is getting tougher for any teams since the pressure is so high.

I also had a feeling that Klopp wasn't taking the Atalanta defeat seriously, and Crystal Palace seemed to be effectively using the Italians' tactics. Still watching Liverpool lose to Crystal Palace at Anfield Stadium is kinda shocking to me. Crystal Palace has given Liverpool a tough lesson in their Premier League title race, resembling Arsenal's struggles last season. Arsenal needs to win today's match to stay on top, but it'll be more complicated if Aston Villa wins today. And, Arsenal's upcoming matches against Chelsea, Man United, and Tottenham make it seem challenging. It looks like Man City might clinch the trophy. They've set a high standard to win the Premier League title, and they're determined to claim it.

Real Madrid and Barcelona both collected 3 points in Week 31 of La Liga and their victory was the same with a narrow score of just 1 goal from their opponents. It seems that the performance of these two big La Liga teams is really lacking and they should be able to win with a difference of more than 2 goals. But things can't be as we want and even though the opponents are weak teams, they don't want to suffer a heavy defeat from these two big teams.

However, I was quite entertained by the spectacular goal scored by Tchouameni with a powerful kick from outside the penalty box and Joao Felix also provided the only goal for Barcelona's victory. Now the two of them have a difference of 7 points in the standings and Real Madrid's position is not necessarily safe until now. What is clear is that next week's El Clasico party will be one of the main keys for Real Madrid to win the La Liga title or Barcelona will start to catch up to Real Madrid by reducing the existing points.
I don't think that the performance of these two teams is less than optimal this week, but they don't have much greater motivation in the La Liga match because Real Madrid and Barcelona are both focused on the Champions League match so in my opinion they are just doing their best to can still win the La Liga match this week.
Whatever the score, the important thing is that they get a win, I think that is enough for Barcelona and Real Madrid to maintain their position in the current standings.

The difference in points between Real Madrid and Barcelona is 8 points and now Real Madrid is quite comfortable at the top of the standings and in my opinion whatever the results of next week's El Clasico match will not have a big impact on Real Madrid, they are still at the top of the standings and remain strong favorites to win La Liga this season.
Real Madrid are currently eight points ahead of their LaLiga rivals Barcelona, putting them in a comfortable lead in the league. With such a lead, they should focus on the Champions League, where they have a tough challenge ahead against Man City at the Etihad.
The 2023/24 LaLiga champions seem to be on the horizon for Real Madrid. It would be unlikely for them to lose the league to Barcelona at this stage. However, the league title hasn't been decided yet, and they face FC Barcelona in the upcoming El Clasico match next Sunday. As a football fan, I'm eager to see Barcelona win next week's match and close the gap. Let's hope the title race goes down to the wire, as Barca shouldn't give up the title without a fight.

Kolkata fell to a loss after losing Sunil Narine for just 22 runs. Angkrish Raghuvanshi lost another wicket for 42 runs and fell under a little more pressure. Although Phil Salt is still there. Phil Salt remains unbeaten on 52 runs. If Phil Salt maintains his consistency then victory of Kolkata Knight Riders is inevitable. Phil Salt is slowly moving towards three figures. KKR need 57 runs in 54 balls. Eight wickets still in hand. Although it looks like Kolkata Knight Riders will win today, it cannot be said, "Who's in luck?". Cricket is a game of luck. Anything can happen here at any time. All the best for Kolkata Knight Riders.
Kolkata Knight Riders secured a comfortable win against Lucknow. Despite losing 2 wickets early on, Kolkata didn't seem troubled but got their win convincingly. Phil Salt's unbeaten 89 played a key role as Kolkata Knight Riders chased down their target of 162 in just 15.4 overs. It was a disappointing night for Lucknow! While Lucknow's new appearance brought a fresh and exciting vibe, unfortunately it didn't translate into a victory for them.

You're really suggesting that Bitcoin's drop is related to the possibility of a new war or World War III? For me, it seems like just a coincidence, and I don't think it's directly related. Bitcoin's drop was caused by events unrelated to its protocol. When Bitcoin goes down, other markets tend to follow. Considering Bitcoin's huge market cap, this drop is relatively small. It might be worth looking into some lower market cap options.

By the way, if you liked Bitcoin at $73K, you'll probably love it at $62K. However, holding isn't always the best answer. It's important to learn to trade and take profits when you can.

Things are now getting very clear as PBKS are wrapping up there innings. After 18 overs PBKS have lost 7 wickets and score is just 123 runs. They might give target of 140 or some good hitting in last two overs can take them to 150 max. Jitesh Sharma is the star batsmen of PBKS after scoring 29 runs and next to him is Liam Livingstone with 21 runs. Good bowling from RR today, all bowlers did a good job in picking wickets.
Rajasthan royals done it they finally won an important match after a tough fight because they way they lose few of thier important wickets especially at last stage was really blow our mind because things were looking like out of thier hands despite they have very low target compared to all previous matches but I think bowler were truely in colour and delivering thier best also they were already under pressure because of thier previous defeats and it's kind of hard for them to regain his form and consistency back but later some mind blowing performance from hetmyer really get the game back for them right before last ball and thus they get this momentum back. Currently they are dominating points table by holding top of the table with a highest points till now hope things will be good for them in next stages
Rajasthan Royals handed Punjab Kings another close loss, but their overconfidence was evident as they thought the win would be easy. This led to the loss of some crucial wickets early on, making the match tighter. However, Rajasthan managed to finish things off nicely. Hopefully, they learn from this experience and avoid repeating it in the future.
Rajasthan Royals boast great players and strong leadership. Sanju seemed clear about leading the side, and they are considered one of the toughest teams in this year's IPL.

Like the first game of the league, it's a game with a lot of goals. Girona scored early and Atletico responded with three goals. Griezmann and Morata are playing excellently. I was expecting a game like this, Girona's fall continues and Atletico has set its sights on third place. After this game, the points difference is down to four. Girona, who keep losing away games, might even lose third place at the end of the league. Fortunately the first 4 places play Champions League. Nothing much will change for them.

An early goal from Girona that they couldn't secure for more than 30 minutes before they started getting goals and losing points.
As you said, this game is more important for Atletico Madrid than Girona since they are followed closely by Athletic Bilbao and with these three points they got 4 points closer to Girona and 4 points away from Bilbao for the moment.
Girona last victory in away games were in January this year..
That's the interesting thing about football, not who scores first is entitled to win the game, it was an early celebration for Girona, confident on how they will certainly win the match but Atletico decided to change everything towards favoring themselves. Just 4 points away from Atletico, Girona needs to keep up winning streaks to remain in their position, Madrid are no longer taking it easy and I see their upcoming games as being an easy win except that of Athletic club who are behind them but considering Madrid level of play, it should be a good win for them. Girona might actually drop to 4th on the table but nothing below that position.
Atletico Madrid made a strong comeback after being a goal down and registered a win against Girona. Though Girona initially opened the door for the game's goals, but ended up losing it. They had high hopes for this season but unfortunately fell short. This match has clarified the real title contenders and the teams vying for the top four spots. Atletico Madrid narrowed the gap with Girona in a tight battle, with only 4 points separating them from the top 3. The worst-case scenario for Girona would be missing out on qualifying for the Champions League altogether, at the same time confident that they will hold top 4 position at least.

Newcastle United destroyed Tottenham. Spurs are stunned. When Spurs play well, they play really well, but when they lose, they fall apart. That's how they've been in previous defeats to Fulham, Brighton and Chelsea, conceding too many goals and falling apart. Such defeats are unbecoming for a team in fourth place.
They'll go into the Arsenal game in a bad mood, luckily there's a week's break in between. In this time they need to recover and forget this defeat.
Newcastle United is becoming more violent and Tottenham lost guard and they were unable to defend against Newcastle, Tottenham was beaten flat. Watching the game i could not stop laughing. This is one of the worst seasons for Tottenham and they started well but they could no longer keep up.  Isak scored two goals and A. Gordon given two assit and scoring one goal. And if you look at Tottenham there is no way Chelsea would have lose to a club like Tottenham especially when they are this weak. And before first half they have already scored two goals didn’t expect four goals from Newcastle. And they are now at 6 position.

Wow, what a surprise! Newcastle United put on an absolutely outstanding performance. I didn't see that coming from Newcastle United today.
Tottenham started the season strong and were feeling on top, but couldn't maintain it. I remember when Spurs won a few games and thought it would be their season. If they manage to finish 6th, it will be a much bigger achievement for Eddie than last season's 4th place, especially considering the number and duration of injured players.

They dominated Saudi Professional League and in direct matches with strongest competitors, they won big and very convincing. Saudi Professional League will become boring and less attractive if Al Nassr and Al Ittihad won't be able to challenge Al Hilal next seasons. They have load of things to do in a next player transfer to rotate their players and improve their squads, to compete against Al Hilal next season.
Yes, Al Hilal's performance this season is really very strong and unbeatable. I also didn't expect Al Hilal to be able to play so perfectly in all competitions and it looks like Al Hilal has the opportunity to get several trophies this season, of which 2 trophies already belong to Al Hilal, namely the Saudi Pro League and Super Cup and we just have to wait for the matches in the AFC Champions League and the Arabian King's Cup. Al Hilal has reached the semifinals and it seems that with Al Hilal's strong performance so far he also has a big chance of getting these 2 titles and Al Hilal will get the treble winner which is an extraordinary achievement for Al Hilal this season.

I think there will be a difference again next season clubs like Al Nassr and Al Ittihad will not remain silent they will correct their mistakes that they made this season and learn from the mistakes, they have spent a lot of money to buy players but I think the tactics they use is not very effective, they must immediately improve not only the composition of players but also the strategy they use. Al Nassr already has a good attack line but their back line is very bad and that is a task that the coach must fix to improve Al Nassr's performance next season.

Al Hilal's dominance this season is truly remarkable. They secured a commanding 4-1 victory over Al-Ittihad to claim the Super Cup title. With already two trophies under their belt, they're now eyeing the AFC Champions League and the Arabian King's Cup. While a treble is impressive, they have their sights set on a quadruple this season.
Their dominance shows no signs of waning, establishing themselves as a formidable force in their league. Al-Nassr has been trailing behind Al-Hilal since the start of the season. Al-Hilal is experiencing a golden period, with no other club able to put up a fight against them. They're making history and are set to continue their dominance into the next season. I hope that in the upcoming season, clubs like Al Nassr and Al Ittihad can bounce back without facing the same challenges that plagued them this season.

MI made a mockery of RCB, but what many people seem to forget here is the fact that they got both their wins recently on their home turf which is why I want to see if they can continue their winning streak on other turfs.

On the other hand, RCB. Am out of words. It's truly tough being a RCB fan and I pity their fanbase honestly speaking.
Congratulations to MI on their second win! Hopefully, they're back on track and keep it up.

MI chased down a score of 200 in just 15.3 overs. RCB's bowling is so weak that even a score of 250+ can't be defended. RCB seems to be struggling this season, just like they always do. It's a perpetual issue for them, and it's tough to be a supporter. Just don't know how the team and fans are taking all this situation and all those criticism.

There is no doubt that many gamblers lost money on Liverpool's win. But I restrained myself from betting on the match. Because I thought Liverpool are now more busy to win the Premier League title. Their main target is to secure the Premier League title. So I wasn't sure if Liverpool would give their full effort in the Europa League match.

Klopp probably thought they could win against Atalanta with the second row of players. This was Liverpool's biggest mistake. Atalanta team should not be underestimated by Liverpool. However, we saw a very poor performance from Liverpool's defenders. Liverpool would not have been beaten badly if the defenders had done well.
This was unexpected, even for Klopp. He made some mistakes by not fielding their strongest 11, underestimating Atlanta. The starting lineup didn't seem confident about winning, unfortunately their changes didn't work out, which leading to disaster at home. But is there any excuse of their weak defense and attack? Of-course not. It was errors from Liverpool's side and poor defending. Every time Atlanta attacked, they looked like they would score. It was an off night for Liverpool, and their performance is a concern for the Premier League. Well played, Atlanta.

Playing a draw at home is not always considered bad if Arsenal can provide a better game in the second leg (away match). Of course, Bayern Munich will likely be the favorite at home, but Arsenal is a good team who will most likely also win the second leg.

Manchester City and Arsenal both ended the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals with a draw. They have good form to hope for a ticket to the semifinals, but Real Madrid and Bayern Munich also have the same chance in the second leg. This match will be very interesting of course, that's because all four teams still have a chance.
From this match it was clear that Arsenal dominated the game and they also managed to score the first score. Actually, if we look at Arsenal's performance then victory is in sight. Luckily, Bayern Munich got a penalty kick so they managed to make the result end in a draw. If Bayern Munich didn't managed to take advantage of this opportunity, Arsenal emerged as the winners. I am sure that in the second leg Arsenal will use their full strength to snatch victory from Bayern Munich.
I doubt that Arsenal can win this round, indeed both teams still have the same chance, but in the next match Arsenal will face Munich away, of course this will make Arsenal feel pressured and I'm not sure that even if Arsenal uses all their strength, Munich will also do the same thing, let alone competing at home will make Munich more confident to win.
We have seen Munich lost at home several times this season due to their poor form, and that is why Arsenal might be luck to win them at home for this reason. Apart from that, I don't think that it would have been possible for Arsenal to think of winning Bayern Munich in Germany.

Arsenal should see this match as a big challenge for them to use and advance to the semifinals and make record again, because it has been a very long time since Arsenal have qualified to the semifinals. It is a big challenge for them to meet up with maintaining their first position in EPL, and also going to win Bayern in Germany.
Luck may not be on their side at Allianz Arena. Bayern are likely to knock Arsenal out of the Champions League at their home ground. While Bayern has lost at home several times this season, there's nothing particularly special about this Bayern team this season. Despite these circumstances, if Arsenal can still control the game and create more chances than Bayern, they may have a chance.

Arsenal has qualified for the semifinals and is also maintaining their first position in the EPL. It's an impressive achievement so far, and they must handle the pressure smoothly at this stage. Things won't be easy, and there's no room for mistakes. They're so close to success and must seize the opportunity to win.
177  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 11, 2024, 02:44:30 PM
Chelsea are aiming for osimhen according to the Anglo-Saxon press.

The player will certainly leave Napoli and Italy this summer, declared several times by the Napoli's president.

The price will not be less than 100 million, and according to the president's words the player should already have an agreement with an English team.
These reports about Osimhen are getting my attention. Guy seems unhappy at Napoli, and it's easy to see why after a rough season. It's time to start over. I think he'll do great in the Premier League. That much strength and that fast pace... it's his kind of game. Also, getting the Premier League title? Huge reasons to brag. Even though PSG might be a candidate, I have a feeling that England is calling his name. It will be interesting to see if any more Premier League teams join. This could cost a lot!

He had problems at Napoli some time ago, that's what made him uncomfortable at Napoli and whether he likes it or not it also affects his performance in my opinion. If he goes to the Premier League, then he will be under much greater pressure, because in the Premier League the competition is very tight, so he has to show all the abilities he has.
The adaptation process will definitely be one of the determining factors whether he will be successful or have difficulty, because it is not uncommon for me to see players who need a long time to find their best form of play when they are on a new team.
I hope that if he really goes to the Premier League he will be able to adapt quickly, because if he is a little late in adapting then the pressure he will get will be even greater because the people involved there will question why he can't adapt quickly. and if his mentality is not good then it is dangerous for him.
Osimhen is likely to move to the Premier League this summer, despite interest from French clubs. A lot of peoples believe that Chelsea is one of the clubs interested. Personally, I think Osimhen is built for the Premier League. He's a world-class striker, and there's no doubt about his qualities and fitness. While there may be a lot of talks, what's important is that he's not afraid to take risks. He's a risk-taker, but yes, the Premier League can be rough. Osimhen seems quite permanent and different from others. He's a little aggressive, not stubborn, but he plays rough and hard, which allows him to take risks and do unexpected things.

PSG vs Barcelona was a really good match between the two teams as the attacks from both sides were adequate from start to finish. The best performance in the match was Barcelona's team, moreover, Barcelona's attack was mostly successful as they put the ball in the opposition's net three times. However, in Barcelona's game with PSG, they closed most of the time and PSG could not successfully equalize the game. PSG had more total shots than Barcelona but Barca's goalkeeper did well and every player did well to stay in the Champions League. And with this one goal lead in the first leg, Barcelona have a bit of a win and will definitely be more aggressive in the next leg. And since the next match PSG will play in the field of Barcelona, they may be in more disappointment and Barcelona will definitely win in the field of Barcelona and they can enter the semi-finals.
Coach Xavi Hernandez's reasonable changes were vital to Barca's 3-2 win against PSG on the away field. Barca has an excellent opportunity to enter the semi-finals with the advantage of winning the first leg and the second leg being played at Camp Nou . Despite having home field advantage, PSG should have entered the game poorly, playing deadlocked against a Barca team that everyone knew was in decline. Kylian Mbappe is the most expected name in the PSG squad in the confrontation with Barca. But the truth is, Mbappe didn't even have a single shot on goal towards goalkeeper Ter Stegen. Therefore, coach Luis Enrique and his team will have to try very hard in the second leg at Camp Nou if they want to turn the tide.
Barcelona fans are thrilled with what their players and coach Xavi Hernandez achieved. Despite injuries and absences, Barcelona secured a crucial victory. Mbappe was there, but his presence was not effective at all. He made some good dribbles but faced a tough day against Barcelona's defenders. We're eagerly awaiting the second leg; the match is far from over yet. The game at Camp Nou will be challenging, but football is full of surprises.

A lot is being talked about nowadays regarding Sanju Samson. Some people claim that he can be the next captain of the Indian national team. However, I am not very impressed with his captaincy tactics so far in the Indian Premier League. Yesterday's match was something that Rajasthan Royals could have won. When Vijay Shankar got out, Gujarat Titans were struggling at 111/4 after 14 overs. They needed another 86 runs to win from 6 overs, with most of the top and middle order back in pavilion. Still they won, because of Samson's stupid bowling changes.
Sanju Samson's overconfidence ended up costing them the win. It's no hard thinking his decision in a match-winning situation led to their defeat. Actually have no idea why their most economical bowler only bowled 2 overs when he should have bowled at least 1 more over. This defeat marked RR's first loss in IPL 2024 against GT. However, credit must be given to GT for their special performance. They held their nerve and won a thrilling last-ball match against RR. Rashid Khan deserves recognition for his impressive bowling figures and crucial batting performance.

Sri Lankan women are in fine form. They won the T20I series by a margin of 2-1, and that too after losing the first match. However, South Africa has set a formidable target for the first ODI. Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits added 94 runs for the first wicket, and then Anneke Bosch joined Brits. Oshadi Ranasinghe and Kavisha Dilhari bowled decently, but received not much support from their team-mates. Now we need to see how the Lankan women will chase down this huge total. Required run rate is close to 5.5 now. 
Sri Lankan Women International ODI cricket team played 1st match of the series against  South African Women International ODI cricket team. But match ended with no result. South African Women International ODI cricket team played very well and set a target of 271 runs with fall of 6 wickets. Brits played century for her country and she made excellent  116 runs in just 128 balls .Wolvaardt also played good inning and made 41 runs in just 57 balls . Bosch made 39 runs in 42 balls and Luus made  22 runs in 30 balls.Sri Lankan score was 23 with no fall of wicket.
The first ODI match was called off because of persistent rain. It's really disappointing news, especially after witnessing such a brilliant century by Taz. It seems like rain has always been a problem for South African teams. However, some middle-order batters didn't seem focused, and that needs to be addressed. The rain had the final say in the first ODI, however, the South African women can take comfort in the fact that they were still able to gain valuable batting practice.
