181  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How old would you be by 2140? on: March 21, 2024, 02:25:59 PM
Every single one of us on this forum right now are millionaires. The amount of Bitcoins we own right now is worth millions by 2140. The truth is that none of us would be able to spend the money on goods and services since 2140 is outside our life expectancy.
Even if we can live till 2140, but my question is can we keep our bitcoins till then? People are planning to sell bitcoin when bitcoin reaches $100k or $1 million in the future to escape from miserable life and enjoy life. And holding bitcoin for 4 years or 10 years is an extremely difficult challenge and not too many people can do it, so never think about holding bitcoin for 50 years or 100 years. That sounds funny.

Also, there is no guarantee that bitcoin can exist or still be used until then, look at the development of technology and I believe that in the future something better than bitcoin will be created go out.

I think Juventus will still get a ticket to the Champions League next season. If Juventus continues to play badly like this I think they will be in fourth place and Bologna will overtake Juventus in third place. Of course Roma still have a chance but with 7 games remaining I don't think there will be any more changes in the top 4. I'm not saying AS Roma doesn't have a chance. But I'm sure Bologna or Juventus will try to maintain their position. They will go all out to maintain their ranking from Roma or Atalanta.
Bologna will face Roma and Juventus. And Roma will also play Juventus. I think that will be the ranking for the end of the season.
Juventus in the last few matches has been very bad, if they don't improve immediately, it's not impossible that they will leave the UCl league zone. Bologna and As Roma pose a real threat to Juventus if they don't improve immediately, especially since in the remaining matches Juventus will still face strong teams. Because Roma, after the change of coach, continued to achieve positive results, even losing only once against Inter Milan, De Rossi's presence made As Roma come back to life.

Juventus will visit Lazio's headquarters. Both teams are in bad condition after achieving bad results in the last few matches. This is an important match for Juventus to steal three points so this victory makes them even more confident. If Juventus loses then its position will be threatened by Bologna, because in the same week Bologna will face a bottom team of course the chance of getting three points is very big.

There are only a few match days remaining and I don’t imagine them getting out of the top 4 which will go to the UEFA Champions League. The current 5th team in Serie A is AS Roma. There is an 8 point gap between AS Roma and Juventus. There are 9 matchdays remaining, But Juventus’ recent result has been bad. Out of the last 5 matches, they have only won 1 and have drawn their latest 2 matches.

But the point gap is too much, to be honest. I believe they will still finish 3rd above Bologna. Both of their next two matches are against hard opponents, but if they manage to sustain them, the rest of the season should be easy.

After the T-20 series loss Bangladesh's skipper said that Sri lanka never recovered from the so called "time out" incident. He was referring to the Shakib-Mattews controversy followed by Srilankan's celebration of "Timeout" after winning the T-20 series.

And today Mushi Babu did a cameo during the ceremony, which was funny for the neutrals but not for the Bangalesh's skipper, if we go by his previous statement. I love it anyway lol because it's damn funny.

Well if I remember correctly, Sri Lanka also did something after winning the t20 series. They pointed at their wrists while celebrating. And I think it is actually true that Sri Lanka really never recovered from that psychological hit. Sri Lanka is also taking Bangladesh as the number one rival in my opinion.

This also reminds me that it was Shanto who actually told Shakib Al Hassan to make the "time out" decision. If I am being totally honest, Shanto is actually a good Captain. But his performance needs to improve.

I really like this. Because now we do not have anything called India versus Pakistan rivalry. So it is good to see a new rivalry going on in the Asian cricket scene.

Weekend match between Mancity and Arsenal is going to be a very tough match as the both team battle it out to become EPL champions, however, Liverpool is also among the three teams pushing it hard to win the league as well.The season is coming  to an end as it is left with just 10 games before the season ends.If Liverpool wins their matck,and Arsenal and Mancity gets a draw,then Liverpool will go up top again,and maybe this time, Liverpool will no longer come down because they have played almost all the teams that would have given them headache.So all Liverpool fans and players will be praying for a draw between Arsenal and City.

This match is very important. And I will say if Arsenal can win this match then Arsenal will be Premier League champions this year. I say this because Arsenal's performance is very stable right now. A few days ago, the Arsenal team defeated the Liverpool team, one of the rivals for the title this season, 3-1. Now, if Arsenal can beat Manchester City, then Arsenal will advance a lot in the race to win the title.

Arsenal have won their last two head-to-head matches against Manchester City and Manchester City have won their previous three matches. Arsenal beat City 1-0 in their home match this season. Now wait to see if Manchester City can avenge their earlier defeat at home.

Today is the final of PSL season 9. Multan Sultan and Islamabad United will be competing for the trophy. Multan Sultan is the favourite to win the PSL, they have been outperforming every other team in this PSL. Islamabad United's top order will be crucial, as they are not performing up to their potential. In the Eliminator 2 of the PSL, it was their middle order, who saved them. Hopefully, Colin Munro will be fit for the big day. 

Today Afghanistan and Ireland will face each other in the series decider. AFG barely won the last match thanks to Rashid's heroics. Ireland looked like a different team in the T20I series and the victory will not be easy for AFG in this match. 

I guess both these matches will start at the same time, so which one will you prefer to watch  Tongue

Today is the main T20 match at Sharjah and most of the time  Afghanistan has matches in the stadium of Sharjah and also today is the match of Ireland vs Afghanistan. I think Afghanistan has a better team than Ireland but at the same time, I also remembered the first match of this T20I series so after seeing this I cannot say anything confident about this.

But still, I think that today's Afghanistan team will win, as Naveen Ul Haq, Muhammad Nabi, and in batting Gurbaz are the best options and without adding them to this list is not fair. These are the players who make them a good team that can beat Ireland. Now, you wonder why I did not add Rashid Khan because I gave the list of good players, not the best of the bests  Wink.

It is a decent target given by Multan Sultan. Islamabad has started well. Munro is smashing the ball from the start. The start in the first over for them has been well. I think if they can keep wickets in hand it is not going to be a big problem for them to win. Remember that Multan Sultans were not able to keep wickets in hand towards the end. That's why I think they didn't get as many as they should have. And unless it was for the last cricket partnership, they would have not been able to give the decent total that we are talking about. Also, Islamabad had given away 10 extras.

Islamabad has already scored 19 from the first eight balls. It looks like they are trying to take advantage of the power play.
186  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency impact on Economy on: March 18, 2024, 01:58:29 PM
I do not understand your explanation of how Bitcoin impacts unemployment, and I equally don’t think that Bitcoin impacts unemployment in the way you make it seem. What Bitcoin has done is bringing about the idea of cryptocurrency, which we now have many cryptocurrencies. And if not the jobs like being a blockchain developer, and a few things, Bitcoin doesn’t directly impact unemployment. Or maybe you want to elaborate on what you meant?
Let me give you a small example of how Bitcoin solves the problem of unemployment. You must know about the poverty of people living in African countries. The per capita income of people there is very low and the GDP in those countries is very small and most of the people there work day and night and earn maybe two dollars to one dollar. If you earn two dollars or one dollar a day, it is very little, but those who earn two dollars to one dollar are considered as the highest income in Nigeria. You will see that there are many people in Nigeria who are involved with Bitcoin and who are investing regularly. They are investing in Bitcoin as well as they are working on various signature campaigns in this forum which is a great example of how Bitcoin is eliminating people's unemployment. But they would not be so satisfied with their Bitcoin investment if they did not get the profit from the investment as per their demand.

Now I understand why the percentage of forum members from Nigeria is so high. But is it true to say that investing in bitcoin can solve the problem of poverty alleviation? Because investing is risky, not everyone will win and profit when investing in bitcoin. Investing in bitcoin is like investing in stocks, gold... and whether it can be profitable or not depends on each person's knowledge. In addition, the campaign signature is a form of advertising and they can also pay us with USDT and bitcoin which only serves as a payment method. How can it be said that bitcoin is helping to reduce unemployment? To be more precise, the bitcointalk forum is providing jobs to people, not bitcoin.
187  Economy / Economics / Re: Everything is over priced but people keep spending on: March 18, 2024, 01:44:33 PM
The cost of things has gone up so much so that it's glaring. Imagine paying 5-12$ for an average meal you could get before for 3$. The jump cost is extremely high. Cooking a meal at home can cost you the same amount you would spend on eating in a restaurant. Funny enough people still afford all these things without complaining. My anger is that we make money to spend it all into our normal life expenses. It's difficult now to save or invest unless you part of the rich people in society. An average man has to just eat, pay bills, and survive.

I think you fell victim to your beliefs.
A stable-coin does not protect you from inflation or recession. That power only bitcoin holds.
Stable-coins are a proven cheat, their fuel is fear, those elaborate algorithms  are worthless, held up by faith.

But I want to know, are you using stablecoin(fiat) for your daily needs? Do you have a bank account, cash, fiat currency? If you are still using them and cannot give them up yet, don't try to badmouth them, although they have many disadvantages, they are not completely useless.

Don't blame fiat, the government or anyone when your life gets difficult. Try asking the question, why do your friends, the people around you, many people still have a rich life while you are having difficulties? Whose fault is it? People who only complain, blame others and never admit their mistakes are mostly failures.

It's been a long time since I've seen anyone, or seen articles circulating about the death of bitcoin. Honestly, I would love to see more viral articles about bitcoin dying. Because every time those articles appear, I know I have an opportunity to buy more bitcoin cheaply. But I'm pretty sure we won't find any such articles during this bull season and no one will be interested in it because everyone is busy making profits from bitcoin. But in a bear market, I think we'll see more bitcoin dead posts and that's a sign it's time to buy more bitcoin  Grin Grin.
189  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can we avoid crypto taxes with other users assistance? on: March 17, 2024, 01:08:27 PM
I don't understand with people who advising to seek an accountant, you're risking yourself if you do that because you will tell anything to your accountant, then this accountant can attack you whenever they want. And... what about you fall to the trap of a tax officer that pretends to be a public accountant?

That being said, if you want to hide something, make sure you can hide it from anyone else.

In pur country, theres what we call tax avoidance which is legal. In the Philippines, tax avoidance and accountants can be a big help with that. They know the ins and outs of the tax system and can guide you on how to legally minimize your tax bill. Just remember that tax avoidance is about using the rules to your advantage, while tax evasion is a big no-no and can get you in serious trouble. So if you want to keep more of your hard-earned money in your pocket, it's worth consulting with a trusted accountant who can steer you in the right direction Smiley

The problem is how to find a trustworthy accountant? And where do you rely to ensure 100% that that accountant will not betray you or try to harm you when they know you intend to evade taxes?

I don't know whether trying to avoid taxes in your country is common and considered the right action. But I know it's against the law because the government won't like this, so once we intend to do things that may be illegal, it's best not to let a second person know. Because there is no guarantee that they will keep your secret. Not to mention whether bitcoin is legal in your country or not, because if it is illegal then your crime is even worse.

If I trade 10x vs. 15x will the 10x make more profit than the 15x if I TP @5% or should it be the same amount of profit either 10x or 15x if I set the TP @5% ? For some reason if seems like Im getting less profit per trade when I just upped my margin from 10x to 15x. And I should ask if it is less profit using 15x, why is that? Thanks

PS Not seeing a tool to upload a file/ screenshot here. But can do if someone could tell me where the button is?


I won't tell you which one will bring better profits but I will tell you one thing that you will soon lose money and even go bankrupt if you continue trading with leverage. It seems like you are newbies and don't even have any knowledge about trading yet you trade with high leverage hoping to make money quickly. With this alone, I'm pretty sure you'll lose money and exit the market before making a profit. Stay away from trading when you are just a newbie and do not have any knowledge about this market.
191  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you invest in BTC or MicroStrategy MSTR? on: March 17, 2024, 12:57:38 PM
The answer depends on your goals. If your main goal is to make money and the concept of Bitcoin isn't significant to you, then MSTR is the better choice. However, if you value having full control over your life and funds, then Bitcoin is the preferred option.

Right. Choosing between investing in BTC or MSTR depends on your style and tolerance for risk. MSTR's been riding high, thanks to their BTC stash and leverage but that comes with extra risk. BTC's more of a wild ride with its ups and downs but its decentralized vibe gives some peace of mind. MSTR's got the benefit of MicroStrategy's leadership but BTC's been around longer and has its own reputation. In the end, it's a trade-off between control and potential rewards versus trust and stability. It's like choosing between surfing a wave or cruising on a steady boat


I don't agree with you two. I don't want to lie, my main goal when investing in bitcoin is profit, profit is what I care about and prioritize the most. But I wouldn't invest in MSTR because there's no guarantee their stock will yield higher returns than bitcoin. Have you ever thought about what would happen to our investment if their business suffered and their company went bankrupt? Meanwhile, even if bitcoin is dumped, it will still recover and grow at a higher level. I will ignore the issue of privacy and decentralization, I will still choose bitcoin because it offers better returns and less risk.
192  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: March 17, 2024, 06:49:24 AM
Seems Manchester City still favorable than Real Madrid depend the result match last season with The Citizen defeated Madrid aggregate over 5-1 after holding draw on the first leg match and second leg Manchester City success won 4-0. But I don't think its fair with more favorable Manchester City in this quarter final match, Real Madrid have quit well performance in domestic league and success qualify to quarter final with very impressive result match from group stage until 16 round.
This time I think Real  Madrid more favorable than Manchester City have focus in domestic league too with their current standings not secure yet for the top position, difference with Real Madrid confidence on the top position in domestic league will be easily for focus in champion league quarter final match.

Manchester city is also stronger compared to the real madrid. I have to choose a cluib that will be my best bet and it must be manchester city. The club is still performing very well till this time and it never encounter a problem that has occurred. Manchester city is also winning against madrid with very good score last seasons.
So, city will repeat the same result against madrid soon. There's no players that needs to be worried as manchester city is still owning wallker or stones. I do believe these players can also prevent real madrid even to score in the upcoming matches.
Vini ain't nothing when he faces kyle walker and there's no something that needs to feel worry about. Im sure manchester city will able to beat real madrid soon. it's only matter of time until city will go to the smi final.

The current standing in the domestic league is not even reflecting how capable real madrid to baet manchester city. how can you give same rate of la liga to the EPL? EPL is far competitive compared to the la liga even city was also owning the EPL trophies too.
Madrid will not able to do that if it's playing on EPL. manchestercity is far stronger compared to the rael madrid


I think right now Manchester City is a stronger squad compared to Real Madrid. And I absolutely agree about Manchester City being more ready. Manchester City has been facing hard opponents throughout the whole season. And how many hard opponents do Real Madrid face? Barcelona?
And at this point, I don't think Atletico Madrid is on the same level as Real Madrid. Some people will say that Girona will also cause problems. But I think if I remember correctly Girona was never able to give Real Madrid big competition head to head.

So Real Madrid is definitely not going to be as prepared to face Manchester City as Manchester City will be to face Real Madrid.
193  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is not a quick rich and get poorer investment. on: March 16, 2024, 12:41:49 PM
It is very wrong for someone to think or have a mindset that bitcoin can make one to become rich. Bitcoin don't make people to be rich because it doesn't give free money just like that. You can only earn from Bitcoin as investment just like 2very other investment.  I don't know why people always see bitcoin as what can give them lots of money that can make one to be rich just by investing.  You can only get rich by having something that generate steady flow of income.
The get-rich-quick mindset by investing in bitcoin is actually not completely wrong if you compare bitcoin with investing in gold. You can calculate the ROI of bitcoin in the last year with the ROI of gold, but of course bitcoin will not provide wealth overnight.

Imagine how much profit you will get from a $50k gold investment in early January 2023 compared to a $50k bitcoin investment, clearly bitcoin is more superior and has provided a lot of returns in just a year compared to gold. The time frame used is not overnight, a few days or a week, but of course longer, such as several months to years.

What you said is absolutely correct and we need to admit that bitcoin is a way to get rich quickly, and that is also our purpose in choosing bitcoin and not gold or any other investment . Is there anyone who invests in bitcoin without expecting that bitcoin will rise to $100k or $200k and even $1 million in the upcoming bull season? If that isn't a get rich quick mindset then what is it? While returns from gold and real estate are very low and we all refuse to invest in them.
194  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin becoming Legal tender on: March 16, 2024, 12:36:31 PM
I think there would be changes like some a store in your local store accept Bitcoin as one of their payment method when buying on their store and also you won't need to hide about owning BTC. I am sure you know that some people are being secretive when they bought bitcoin because it is banned in their country so if it becomes a legal tender then that won't be a problem anymore. The final decision will depends on the government if they made BTC a legal tender or not.
From what you said, I have a question for everyone. Would we openly declare ourselves bitcoin investors if the government accepted and legalized it? Can we use bitcoin in public without fear of someone knowing we own bitcoin? Because people say they need bitcoin because bitcoin is decentralized and protects their privacy, but if we use them in public, it will no longer be private. Not to mention many people are using bitcoin to avoid taxes, will we voluntarily pay taxes to use bitcoin legally?

The Napoli and Inter Milan match is the only match that we can say as a bigmatch this week, so far Intermilan is still able to maintain its consistency in the league while Napoli who are also unbeaten in 5 league matches will certainly make the match more interesting, currently Napoli is struggling to enter the European competition zone so it demands them not to lose the remaining matches including against Intermilan,  Intermilan, who have been safe in the league, certainly no longer have the motivation to win every remaining game they currently have for avoid the risk of possible player injuries.
My Pediction, Napoli will win 1-0 over Intermilan in the match later.
I cannot agree with you. In the Napoli vs Inter Milan match, I consider Inter Milan as favourites. Napoli are unbeaten in the last 5 matches, but Napoli have won only 2 of these 5 matches. Their overall performance is still erratic. It will not be possible to beat a strong opponent like Inter Milan with such erratic performances.

This is Inter Milan's home match. Inter Milan will definitely want to win at home. Inter Milan players will not disappoint the fans. Inter Milan have also won their last two matches against Napoli. Inter Milan's defense is very strong. Inter Milan conceded only 13 goals in 28 matches this season. Napoli players will not be able to break such a strong defense.
I fear that Inter is in a waning phase at the moment, I think so because during the match against Atletico Madrid all the players seemed very tired, despite Inter remains the strongest in Serie A I think that the next match against Napoli is not completely obvious its victory, Napoli is not in good shape and Inter is in a bit of a waning phase and I think we will see a very balanced match. As an Inter fan I hope they can win this big match and continue their unbroken run towards winning Scudetto number 20

I wouldn't say there is absolutely no chance of Inter Milan losing. Inter Milan is a strong team. Although the team has been eliminated from the Champions League, I would not say that there has been much deterioration in the performance of the players. The match against Napoli is not an important match for Inter Milan. Winning the Serie A title is not difficult for Inter Milan. And I agree with you that the Inter Milan players looked a bit tired in the match against Atlético Madrid. Inter Milan will easily win this season's Serie A title even if they don't win the match against Napoli. I will refrain from betting on this match. As the match is not important for Inter Milan. So Milan players may not give full effort to win.

197  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: March 15, 2024, 11:43:04 PM
In the context of Kylian Mbappé deciding to leave Parc des Princes at the end of this season, PSG is urgently looking for a replacement, and Rashford could be chosen. PSG tried to recruit Rashford in 2022 but could not convince the English player despite offering him a salary of £400,000/week. Rashford's performance this season has been extremely poor. And this could be PSG's chance to get him. If PSG is willing to pay such a large amount of money to bring Marcus Rashford to Ligue 1 to play football. This is not a small number at the present time and forces Man United to consider. In case they do not qualify for the Champions League next season, Man United may have to consider selling Marcus Rashford to reinvest. Rashford should find a new land. This place is probably not suitable for him anymore. Ten Hag is excited with Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund. This season, Man United will be almost empty-handed. If Rashford continues to stay at a club that is in decline, his results will not be much different.
Rashford would be a terrible idea for them, he wouldn't even be remotely the same thing and would hurt them a lot. They need two things, first of all someone much better than Rashford, that part is surely the most important part because the yare trying to win the UCL, they already win the league as many times as they want, the league doesn't mean anything to them, in fact it is not even a news anymore that they win it, it is more of a news if they lose it so it is UCL that they care about.

Secondly, if we are talking about a situation that sees a change, getting older makes no sense, they should find someone who is at most 25 years old, and someone who is amazing, that way they can keep that player for longer period of time without changing.

I understand that you are talking about getting someone young. But at this moment you know young players who actually have good talent are very hard to find. even if you find someone like that it is going to be very expensive for you to bring him into the squad. sometimes you have to think if those players are worth the money or not.

Rashford is one of the players who are overrated in my opinion. He is definitely not a bad player. But he is definitely overrated by his fans. And he could never show his full potential that was expected from him.
198  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: March 15, 2024, 05:34:04 PM
Yeah, it's still possible. Let's see the point.

Only 1 point as the difference.
So, it's very possible to take over each other. It will depend on how their performance in the next matches that will be also  still challenging.
Girona and Barcelona have very closely total points and goal differences. Their positions in La Liga will be decided by very mild difference when the season completes, I really believe so.
Yeah, the result of one match can really influence their position. They must not be careless in every match. Even though they can still be in the top 4, it would be great for them to still be runners up, right? Therefore, this is quite tricky for both of them in every match. Actually, in this next match, Girona will have an advantage because Barcelona will face Atletico Madrid. Girona should be able to win against Getafe. Meanwhile, Barcelona is still quite risky, because ATM are indeed strong. So, it will still be difficult to predict.

But even so, as a Madridista, I'm actually quite happy in this case because Madrid can run free in La Liga even though there are still some obstacles that Madrid still has but in the end it doesn't worry me because other clubs in La Liga including Barcelona are having a bad season at the moment.
Exactly, As long as Real Madrid can play well and win most of the remaining matches, it will be quite profitable for them. Currently, they just need to focus more on the UCL match which will definitely be much tougher. But that doesn't mean ignoring La Liga.
Real Madrid is still consistent enough to compete in La Liga so there is no doubt for me that Madrid will experience bad things as long as they still have complete players in all lines, Madrid have won most of their matches in La Liga and have only experienced 1 defeat so in for the remainder of this season, I'm sure Madrid will still be able to do it and they are also used to the busy schedule they have every season. Madrid can focus on the UCL and also La Liga, while in La Liga itself Madrid has widened the points gap so Madrid is still sitting calmly at the top by continuing compete in UCL.

At the moment, Madrid is not very interested in La Liga matches. The team is going to face Manchester City in the Champions League. And I think the Real Madrid team will start preparing for the match against City from now.

Winning the La Liga title is not difficult for Madrid. Real Madrid is not ahead by a big margin. However, Madrid's two main opponents, Barcelona and Girona, have had erratic performances. That's why it won't be difficult for Real Madrid to win the La Liga title. So Ancelotti will now prepare his squad to face Manchester City.

Bangladesh team played well in the first match due to which they won against Sri Lanka. However, in the second ODI match, Sri Lanka team batted very well due to which they succeeded in meeting the target of 286 runs, at this moment Sri Lanka team does not need much more runs to win. But in today's match, if the Bangladesh team can improve their bowling performance a little from the beginning, then maybe Sri Lanka could have put the team under pressure and it is possible for Bangladesh to win. But the Bangladesh team could not do a very good bowling performance in the beginning due to which the two batsmen of the Sri Lanka team formed a great partnership and scored a good score. However, the Bangladesh team put in a good bowling performance towards the end which put Sri Lanka under pressure and lost seven of their wickets. However, it was interesting to see the Sri Lankan team lose their seven wickets and win by three wickets at the moment.
Bangladesh team batted better today than the way they batted in the first match but the Bangladesh bowlers did not bowl well in today's match. You might say the opposite, the Bangladesh team bowlers were bowling very well at the beginning as a result of which they took Sri Lanka's first three wickets for 22 runs. But since then the bowlers of the Bangladesh team could not dominate the Sri Lankan batsmen like that. In today's match, all the bowlers of the Bangladesh team gave away too many runs per over, as a result of which they were defeated by Sri Lanka by three wickets in the second ODI match. Bangladesh's bowling line-up needs to improve a lot for the third ODI match.
Bangladesh batting is on improved but still they needed some more aggressive approach because on this pitch they were short of the 30 to 35 runs which make difference, and they lost this match in reply Sri Lankan were also not good because their batsmen also lost their wickets but a big fourth wicket partnership was enough for them to have win in this game and bring themselves to the level after losing their first game by big margin.

Pathum Nissanka century inning was enough to bring his team in winning position but still their all top batsmen fail to give their best which is surely problem for them because their batting is not able to perform consistently they need some improvement which is important for the win against top teams.

We have seen some improvement in the overall performance of Bangladeshi batsmen. But as usual opener Liton's performance was poor today. But Soumyo, Shanto and Hridoy batted very well today. But today, although the top order played well, the performance of experienced middle order batsmen Mahmudullah, Mushfiq and Miraz was poor. Even then the Bangladesh team managed to deliver a big target.

Bangladesh would have been able to win today's match if the Bangladeshi bowlers had performed their duties properly. But the performance of Bangladeshi bowlers was poor. Honestly I missed Sakib in today's match. If Sakib was with the squad, maybe Bangladesh would not have lost this match.

Lankans are bowling first so they have a good chance to put pressure.

Saying this because they are using the same stadium for the first 3 matches. In the first match, dew did play a part so it's fair to give a bit of an advantage to Lankans but of course, they have to exploit the conditions as well, similar to Bangbros.
That is true today's starting of Bangladesh wasn't good. Because Liton Das scored a golden duck today and went to the pavilion with zero runs. However, after Liton Das today, Nazmul Hossain was calm and Soumya Sarkar kept the pressure on Sri Lanka. Then again the wicket of Nazmul Hossain Shanto Soumya Sarkar and Mahmudullah Riyad has put Bangladesh under pressure.
Although the current run rate of Bangladesh was above six until the fall of the third wicket, but currently the run rate has reached 4.6 in the last 5 overs and only 23 runs have been scored. However, with Touhid Hriday and Mushfiqur Rahim currently on strike, Sri Lanka must take these two wickets to put Bangladesh under complete pressure, otherwise Sri Lanka will be under pressure.
Bangladesh's opening against Sri Lanka was not good, if the team loses wickets in the beginning, the team is already under a lot of pressure, so responsible batting of the openers is very important. However, Bangladesh won the first one-day match due to the responsible batting of Mushfiqur Rahman Mahmudullah Riyad, the eligible batsman of the first one-day match in Bangladesh. In the second one-day match, Mahmudullah Riyad and Mushfiqur Rahim did not bat that well, due to which the team will be under a lot of pressure. Bangladesh's current score is 189 runs 5 wickets in 35 overs. Looking at the game of Bangladesh, it seems that if Tawheed Hriday and Mehdi Hasan Miraj can bat responsibly, then maybe Bangladesh can give a target of 270 runs to Sri Lanka. If Sri Lanka can be given a target of 270 runs then it will be much easier for Bangladesh to win the match if Bangladesh bowlers can bowl well.

I am fed up to see the erratic performance of Bangladeshi batsmen. There is no batsman in the team who can consistently perform well in every match. on which the team may depend. Every batsman in the squad is performing erratically.
Mushfiq and Mahmudullah's batting was very good in the previous match. Today's batsman Mahmudullah could not collect any runs. Mushfiq collected 25 runs. At the same time, Miraz returned to the dressing room with only 12 runs. As usual Liton Das's performance was poor today. Liton could not add any runs to the scoreboard.

Bangladesh collected 201 runs after losing 6 wickets in 39 overs. Towhid Hridoy and Tanzim Shakib are now batting at the crease. Even if Hridoy is out, Bangladesh's innings will end very quickly. And Bangladesh can collect more than 250 if Hridoy stays at the crease.

Towhid Hridoy and Tanzim Sakib's responsible batting saw Bangladesh score 236 runs after 46 overs. Bangladesh team has already collected 47 runs from this pair. After Bangladesh lost the wicket of Miraz for 189 runs I thought Bangladesh's innings would probably stop around 220. But Hridoy is batting very well today. Hridoy is now unbeaten with 65 runs from 89 balls.

Bangladesh will probably be able to provide a target of 270-280. I would say if Bangladesh can score more than 280 in this match then they will win. And if the target is between 260-280, the match will definitely be competitive. The Sri Lankan team is quite strong. The batsmen are also in good form.
