Awesome performance Bangladesh team. They are usually not a very strong team in T20 cricket who can score 200 runs. However, they have collected 202 runs in just 17 overs, which is not common picutre in Bangladesh cricket.
Litton Das, Rony Talukdar and Shakib have been able to score big total by their determined batting. Bangladesh has already own the series and may be Ireland White Was in the next match if the game does not stop due to rain.

Litton and Rony just slayed the Irish bowlers. What I want to see is whether they can perform at this level, while playing against bowlers such as Pat Cummins, Anrich Nortje and Mark Wood. Litton Das in particular has been in terrific form. He has maintained a T20I strike rate of >140, and an average of greater than 30. In ODI format, he averaged more than 50 in 2022. In case of Rony, he was included in the team after a long gap, after a splendid season for the Rangpur Riders in this year's Bangladesh Premier League.
Bangladesh is going to be a tough competition in t20 format from now onwards,  they have been phenomenal throughout the Series and gave a hard time to Ireland.
Bangladesh batsmen and spinners are shinning in every series and leagues .

When some people ask questions about gambling, such as "Can someone can make a living through gambling? I don't like to engage in such conversations because those who doubt that gambling can change someone's life are usually those who have gambled and failed multiple times or those who don't really know gambling strategies.

Recently, a Uganda pastor who won 100million shillings decided to shut down his ministry. This left me with several questions in my head, such as ' Do religious leaders gamble? Is it right for religious leaders to gamble? Knowing fully well that most of them preach against gambling in their religious places. What is the ethical and moral implications of gambling, particularly in the context of religious practices and beliefs?

News source:
https://www.reubenabati.com.ng/news/pastor-shuts-down-church-after-winning-n100m-sports-bet

I do not know if there is any religion which would condone gambling but as far as I know, they all are against gambling one way or another. Gambling is also punished more or less severely, depending on the person's religion. So any religious leader who gambles or condones gambling is probably not a real religious leader but rather a cultist or, more likely, a scam artist.

Obviously there needs to be more investigations into such people but in countries which are poor and corrupt, there is little to no chance of such an investigation being launched against them. Hence, they continue scamming until they scam the wrong people and then the people take justice into their own hands...
Gambling is not liked in majority of countries and regions and it is also considered illegal in many countries  so if a religious leader is gambling that means he is not observing and acting upon his own teachings .
Gambling can cause low self-esteem, stress, anxiety and depression if gambling becomes a problem. Gambling can become an addiction, just like drugs or alcohol, if you use it compulsively or feel out of control. Gambling can affect the part of our brain that releases dopamine.

Pakistan V Afghanistan
Again Afghanistan won the toss and elect to bowl first and allow Pakistan to build target for them. I think Afghanistan love to chase target rather than defending target and due to that reason they select bowl first in entire t20 series matches. Now it's a tough exam for Pakistani young talent because they already lose his previous two matches and losing this match will cut Thier position from nation squad for upcoming series with newZealand.
Currently Pakistan has lose Thier top order batters by just scoring 76 in 9th over which is not a bad runs, but now the main necessary thing for Pakistan is to keep wicket in hand which will give them extra confident to hit power shit in last overs.

Finally Pakistan performed good and gave a target of 182 runs on loss of 7 wickets,  young boy saim ayub played a good innings of 49 runs and Iftikhar Ahmed contributed his part .
Now Afghanistan has to bat good to win this one and to whitewash Pakistan in this innings.

Coming into the third T20 match against Afghanistan, Pakistan might have realized that they had played badly in the previous two matches. Because they managed to get a good score against Afghanistan today. As a team, Pakistan managed to score 182 runs at the end of 20 overs. The reason why I say team performance is because no one significantly scored big like that. But all together 182 runs can be called a fighting score for T20 cricket. 

However, even though Pakistan has collected 182 runs, Afghanistan is batting economically in the target of 183 runs.  So far, Afghanistan's total is 34-0 (4.1). If wickets fail to fall quickly, there is a possibility that Pakistan will lose this match as well
Pakistan to save themselves from losing this match has to take wickets quickly and don't let them build any partnership  because Afghanistan has really talented and experienced batsman who can chase this target easily .

The next world cup will be having a record 104 matches, compared to 64 during Qatar 2022. BTW, FIFA is expecting a revenue of $11 billion from the tournament, which will be an all time record if realized.
11 billion dollars  Shocked
That's a lot of money, this makes me wanna ask how fifa actually makes their money,?
Is it just by selling tickets to those who would want to attend the stadium and view the match live, or are there other ways through which the make their money aside advertisement?

Cus I am of the opinion that if it's just by selling tickets and from advertisers, making 11 billions dollars would be pretty impossible in my point of view, except the tickets are sold at an exorbitant high price which only rich men and women can afford.

I have wondered how they will spend this money since this time, in comparison to another world cup, they will certainly earn much more money because there are more teams participating and more matches in the world cup. I believe FIFA should raise the price for teams, spend some money on food for those countries who need it, as well as build stadiums and schools for those countries.
Fifa is definitely the biggest organisation and football is the most played sport in the world, next world cup is going to be more interesting interms of new teams and new matches.  I hope fifa includes teams from Asia as we have less Asian teams in last world cup .

If we take a look on the previous match so the Pakistan was not strong as much as they should. But may be this match will be in the favor of Pakistan. Performance of Pakistan in the last match disappointed us. But we hope that in this match the Pakistan will bounce back and will show its good performance. By the way we can't predict at this time. The match and the performance will decide. Let see.
In the first T20 match, Pakistan's Imad Wasim (18 runs of 32 balls) and Shadab Khan (12 runs of 18 balls) scored only 30 runs in a total of 50 balls. I am very surprised that if there is no change in Pakistan's batting line-up, today may be the same result against Afghanistan. However, according to a media report, there will be considerable changes in Pakistan's squad for today's match and some of Pakistan's top order batsmen will be included in the squad.
Hopefully today shadab will let iftikhar Ahmed and shan Masood play as last match was bit of a lesson for Pakistani team that you cannot introduce 4 players in a match and apparently all of them failed to score any runs as pressure build by Afghanistani  ballers were enough for them.
Haris is a good aggressive player hopefully he plays today.

Namibia vs USA

Today is the match between these two teams. Which will start in 2hours. If we take a look on both teams last five matches. So we will see that the Namibia is little weak in its performance. Namibia lost 4 matches out of 5 matches. On the other hand if we see the USA performance so USA won 3 matches out of 5 matches.
In November 2022 these two teams play the last match and in this match Namibia won the match by 6 wickets. Now after 4 months we will see many changing and also performance.
ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off 2023 is just 1 hour away from the start of the first match. In the first match will be Namibia vs United States. A total of 6 teams are participating in the Play-off. Namibia, United States, United Arab Emirates, Papua New Guinea and Jersey. The World Cup Qualifier Play-off 2023 will continue from today to 5 April. The matches will be held at the Namibian venue. Although Namibia's performance is poor, they will try to recover in this session.
It is very difficult to make predictions about these matches. All the teams here are weak and their performances are erratic. But the team has several talented players in every team. Namibia won the toss and took the fielding decision in today's match. USA collected 89 runs in 22 overs. They lost four wickets. If the USA manages to collect 200 runs then they will be able to control the match. Giving up a target of less than 200 will make it difficult for the USA to win this match.

The USA managed to collect 165 runs after losing 7 wickets in 39 overs. It's not a bad collection. Gajanand Singh has managed to collect maximum of 53 runs. Aaron Jones also scored 36 and Jessy Singh remained unbeaten on 26 off 51 balls. If they stay at the crease, it will not be difficult for the USA to give a target of more than 200 runs. But since they lost 7 wickets I don't think USA's innings will be too long if Jessy Singh returns to the dressing room.
USA managed to collect good runs and give a decent run chase to Namibia,  they have given 239 runs in 50 overs .
Now Namibia has already lost 2 wickets on 9 runs which is a bad start by Namibia.
If Ali Khan keep on taking wickets like this USA is going to win this Qualifier.

Bangladesh vs Ireland

Visiting Ireland will play the first of three T20 matches against Bangladesh tomorrow. Three T20 matches will be held at Chittagong Zahoor Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium. The host Bangladesh played two T20 matches against England a few days ago at this stadium in Sagarika. Where Bangladesh has won both the matches.
However, the Ireland captain said that they are looking at Bangladesh normally. They have some world class batsmen who are capable of scoring big against Bangladesh. And if there was no rain in the second ODI match, they could have met the target set by Bangladesh.

As Ireland is confident in the T20 against Bangladesh, Ireland's T20 series against Bangladesh is expected to be a competitive series.

I will bet for Bangladesh in this T20I match. Because there have been a few games before, Bangladesh has won almost all the matches. I believe Bangladesh is in very good form now Bangladesh will take it easy with any team meanwhile they have changed Yasir Ali due to which better batsmen have participated which is a plus point for Bangladesh. Of course I'll bet for Bangladesh as Ireland are coming to a different home ground and hope they don't win. Because Bangladesh will definitely be strong in the field of Bangladesh.

Bangladesh has been showing some brilliant performances recently with England and now wiry Ireland they have won ODI series .
Now t20 matches are starting and Bangladesh has higher chances of winning this too . Their balling and batting is outstanding currently.

USA has already lost 5 wickets on 99 runs in 24 overs ,Namibia is balling pretty good they are restricting lots of runs. With this pace  USA can score maximum of 200 or less runs if they maintained partnership and wickets.

Right now, situation is not favorable for the Afghanistan and most chances if big-4 have any tough decision then it's going to be implemented very quickly regarding ban them because most chances Taliban are not going to accept anything regarding women's sports because even they are trying to cut ties in education which is completely nonsense, but currently they are not listening which is not good for their team and its future.

If we have ban on Afghanistan team which is most likely going to happen then surely many players are going to lose their bright future in this game and most likely they will try to have joined Gulf region teams which are already accepting players from subcontinent, so this could be beneficial for them in terms of having good quality players.

First of all, there is no unity within the pig-4 regarding the Taliban issue. BCCI is a strong supporter of the ACB, because the current Indian government is a big backer of Taliban. On the other hand, ECB, CA and CNZ are strongly against Taliban after the latter committed human rights abuses and banned education for women (a stance that is approved by the respective governments in these countries). As per ICC rules, Afghanistan needs to be suspended, because they don't have a women's team. But then, if you leave the decision with the BCCI, then they may get a reprieve.
There is great potential in Afghanistan as far as cricket is concerned and its sad to see them getting kicked out just because of Taliban. 
The reality is in government of Taliban it is impossible to set up a women team as they are already cutting off women in all grounds and sects of society like education and job . So thinking of women cricket team is totally a fiction.  But that doesn't mean men cricket team should be punished because of that as they don't have any control over Taliban.

South Africa cricket team has scored 131 runs after completing 11 overs.  South Africa cricket team scored a fairly good score.  The match win or loss depends on South Africa's bowling performance.  The second innings has already started.  Although West Indies lost two wickets at the beginning of the game, West Indies' batting performance is very good.  West Indies cricket team score till now, 66 runs for 2 in 4.1 overs. If West Indies can play like this in the whole match then West Indies will have a chance to win against South Africa.  Now let's see what happens at the end of the game
In today's match both of the teams bat excellently ,in 11 overs South Africa gave a huge target of 131 runs but West Indies bat more efficiently and chass target in required overs and won the match by 3 wickets (3 balls remaining).
West Indies captain played a brilliant innings and declared player of the match for his batting .

Zimbabwe performed well at their venue. Zimbabwe was the favorite to me throughout the tournament. But after losing their first match, I was a bit hesitant. But they performed well in the next two matches. Especially the last match of the series was really appreciable for them. Every player had a good partnership Wessly Madhevere collected 49, Craig Ervine 44, Gary Ballance 64 and Sean Williams 43 all are relatively big scores and they got an easy win.
The first two matches were really competitive and Netherlands was chasing those matches where they won the first match and they came close to victory in the second match and Zimbabwe somehow managed to win that match and the third match was one sided as Netherlands were not able to put a competitive score on board and Zimbabwe chased them without much struggle.
Zimbabwe proved themselves in last two ODIs they played really good and specially in last one their batsman performed exceptionally good.
In second ODI they won by just 1 run which is total luck for them but today they nailed it thoroughly.

If countries join hands and form a league then it might give competence to the IPL. Maybe something like Asian league can be formed, and can be hosted in every participating country. This could increase the viewer base as well as popularise franchise cricket same as that we see football being played on the Western nations.

As of now Sri Lanka Premier League have got 7 teams. Bangladesh Premier League have got 7 teams. Afghanistan Premier League have got 5 teams and Everest Premier League have got 8 teams. Among this same player will be playing different leagues for different teams. Only in such occasion there arises problem.
This is a good suggestion. So we have 5 countries - Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Either they can have 2 teams each from these countries, or add one team and then can have additional teams from UAE, Oman and Saudi Arabia. The tournament can be either held in Super League format (group based), or a shorter Super Cup format (knockout only). That said, teams from different countries are involved and therefore deciding on the revenue sharing and hosting rights may be a bit tricky.
Adding six or seven countries are not going to happen realistically because we will have many problems foremost this will be needed very long period and right now we have not been spacing for the event which is having more than 45 days even IPL is now having too many teams and longest event which bringing problems for the players here just having few countries like Afghanistan, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka will be also good because Bangladesh most chances will be not joined this event as they are already doing good for their BPL even this is not bringing enough revenue but still they will not join anything which involved Pakistan like India.

Having teams from Oman, UAE and Saudi Arab is also not ideal situation for them because most these countries not have native players so in case of they will have few matches in these countries will be also good but having more teams will never been ideal.

PCB cannot afford to increase the duration of the tournament as players have also domestic and international commitments and they cannot spend all the time in these tournaments. Also if there is a conflict in date in the PSL and IPL, many international players will prefer to play in IPL as compared to PSL and for sure PCB won't want this to happen.

One suggestion is to increase the number of teams in PSL but schedule more than one match in a day at different venues. This may achieve the purpose of increasing the teams in PSL yet the duration of the tournament will remain the same.
As the players are contracted in different leagues, the organizing committee will have to keep in mind and have to make the match schedule. If the number of matches is increased then have to conduct multiple matches on the same day. But fixing the extra days of the contract will be a big inconvenience for them. If the matches can be extended by a few days according to the schedule of IPL, that may not be big problem. If the tournament can be completed a few days before the start of IPL, it can definitely be considered as a reliable decision.
Psl 8 have been s hige success interms of revenue and viewership and Pakistan cricket board can add new teams in upcoming league to grow .
Pakistan is a cricket loving country and people are diehard  fans of cricket   they would love to watch more games and as far as financial basis is concerned Pakistan can settle that as people of Pakistan are pretty good in terms of finances.
Not only Pakistanis but all over the world love and prioritize cricket now, I think not only the audience in PSL but every team that participated in this league has gained some new experience. In all these matches one can uncover the variation in one's skills. And it is very easy to mark experienced players from these matches. And from all these matches the audience can enjoy an extra pleasure
This psl has proved that New talented boys can lift the game for their team and make them win . Pakistan has alot of talent in cricket and psl Is the best platform to explore and polish this talent to prepare them for international cricket.
Babar Azam is the product of Islamabad United who's now winning and making records for his country and making everyone proud.

1st match of the T20 series between Afghanistan and Pakistan is going to start tomorrow.  Afghanistan cricket team will be in the field as the favorite team.  Afghanistan play very well in T20 and they have a lot of reputation.  I have decided to bet for Afghanistan in tomorrow's match.  Hope Afghanistan is going to present something good to the cricket world in tomorrow's match.  On the other hand, it would be wrong to underestimate the Pakistan team.  Pakistan team also has many good players.  But again many players of Pakistan have changed.  Now when tomorrow's match starts, it will be understood which team can do well.  Hopefully tomorrow's match will be an exciting one
Looking forward to tomorrow match that is going to be exciting one as both teams Pakistan and Afghanistan is doing great in T20 format .
Afghanistan is my personal favourite as their game Is fearless and aggressive and that's is best for t20 format of cricket.
Pakistan team had lots of new faces in this series and they ate going to show themselves in this .

What a game we had between Zimbabwe and the Netherlands. In the end, Zimbabwe won by 1 run. Netherlands needed 4 runs off the last ball that was bowled by Tendai Chatara, but Fred Klaassen could only get 2 runs. Ryan Klein desperately tried for the third run and got out. Now the series is tied 1-1 and the final match will be played on Saturday at Harare. So far the Dutch performed better than expected. They won the first match by 3 wickets and went down in the second match by a whisker. Encouraging signs for them.

A dramatic win by Zimbabwe. This ODI reminds me of PSL final played few days back and in both matches 4 runs were required on very last ball and in both games only 2 runs were scored. Netherlands needed 19 runs in the last over and last batting pair was on the crease. Fred Klaassen was only able to score 2 runs on last ball. Good fielding in deep extra cover as ball was racing for 4 runs. Series is  now level and the third ODI will decide who will be the winner. Zimbabwe need to perform well, there performance is very disappointing.

Zimbabwe, despite getting funding of $12 million per year from the ICC has shown no improvement in the performance. On the other hand, the Dutch are performing exceptionally despite the fact that they receive only $300,000 per year from the ICC. With a little more funding for their development program, the Netherlands would be able to get competitive against the top sides. Two days later, there is an ICC meeting to decide on the fund allocation for the next cycle. It needs to be seen whether the allocation for teams like Netherlands get increased or not.
Netherlands is showing great improvement in last matches  they have given a tough time to Zimbabwe in recent series.
Zimbabwe on other hand has done good they have come in international cricket after many years and from that aspect their performance is good.

Ireland tour of Bangladesh 3rd ODI match started today.Ireland won the toss and came to bat.Ireland is in a very bad condition in batting.They scored 84 runs in 23.1 overs.But Ireland are now very worried after losing 8 wickets.Bangladesh team is amazing today.  The performance has started. It seems that all the batsmen of Ireland will be all out today. Ireland has only 2 wickets left. Bangladesh team will win this match very easily. Those who bet in support of Bangladesh team will win the bet today.
Ireland chose to bat first but that didn't turn in favour of them they have already lost all wickets on 101 runs ,5 by hasan mahmud 3 by taskin .
So by seeing the target its already clear this ODI will be in Bangladesh Court because of easy chase .

India has performed quite well in the Test series. But in the ODI series, I had more expectations from the Indian players. They can't live up to expectations. Every Indian player's performance is erratic now. Indian players were in great form against New Zealand in the last ODI series. But their performance against Australia was completely erratic.

India's aim in the upcoming ODI World Cup is to win the title. Because India's performance in the last T20 World Cup was very poor. But with such erratic performance in ODI matches, nothing better can be expected from them in the World Cup. Very soon the Indian management needs to find its best XI. Otherwise, India will perform badly in ODI World Cup like T20 World Cup.
Only Virat Kohli performed good and Hardik Pandya tried to score good runs rest of the team literally wasted balls . Rohit Sharma could have performed sensibly , there were great expectations from Suryakumar Yadav but he got out on a duck and he's the first Indian player who got out on ducks in 3 consecutive matches .

A slight correction is needed in the Article.

On paper, BCCI does receive some percentage of the share but in reality, BCCI voluntarily gives up its share of revenue and never takes its share from the ACC fund.

LOL.. Is this true? Very difficult to believe that BCCI has become so generous towards the other boards. In case of Afghanistan, despite becoming a full member in 2017, they always received lower amount of funding compared to the other full members (during Asia Cups of 2018 and 2022). BTW, after Australia pulled out of the series against Afghanistan, the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) organized a bilateral tour with Pakistan (to start by last week of March). It is still tricky how to deal with the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, w.r.t sports.
Yup, it's true. heard this in a couple of podcasts from one reputed sports journalist, he happens to be very resourceful when following BCCI's money trail on everything like IPL, media rights deals etc.

Also, a few officials and Cricketers also said this on record a couple of times. IMO it's not generosity but they just don't care as it's not a big money and in return they earn some brownie points. 

@JSRAW yet I find it hard to believe that BCCI actually gives up this money, because from what I studied about them is that they actually try to earn as much money as possible. @Sithara007 while Pakistan would be the obvious favourites in these series, yet I feel that Afghanistan can stun them and defeat them as they have improved a lot hence wagering small bets on Afghanistan victory does makes sense to me what do you think?
There is going to be tough matches in upcoming series between Pakistan and Afghanistan as both of them are good teams . Specially Afghanistan they play so fearlessly and aggressively and make their game so interesting for their fans .
Pakistan on other hand is experimenting a totally new team under captaincy of shadab Khan , young boys of psl have been given a chance to prove themselves and make their way in Pakistani team in Asia Cup and world cup.

India need 27 runs from just 13 balls to win. India is under a lot of pressure right now. They have already lost 9 wickets. But it looks like India will not be able to win today's match. I bet for India in today's match but I never imagined that India would do so badly. It is very sad that they could not win today in India's own ground. However, don't give up hope yet, let's see what India can do. However, the target of 270 runs given by Australia was not much. But India themselves made the match very difficult.
Australia won the match by 21 runs. After giving Australia a target of 270 I expected India to win. But they failed. Not to say that the team's top-order players performed poorly. But no batsman could play a big inning. Virat Kohli scored the highest 54 runs for the team. India could have won this match if any batsman batted with some responsibility and stayed at the crease. India could have won if Suryakumar Yadav and Jadeja batted a bit better. Despite winning the Test series, India lost the ODI series.
While India's top order did not perform badly one of the batsmen managed to play a big innings with Virat Kohli top scoring with 54 runs. You believe that any of the Indian batsmen could have won the match if they had batted more responsibly and stayed at the crease and you identify Suriyakumar Yadav and Jadeja as potential players who could have made the difference. Despite winning the Test series India seem to have lost the ODI series against Australia. It is always disappointing to come close to victory but not quite make it but it is important to remember that there are many factors that affect the outcome of a cricket match and that each team has its strengths and weaknesses.

A target of 270 runs cannot be called a big target. Rohit Sharma returned to the dressing room with 30 runs off 17 balls. There was no need for such hard-hitting at the beginning of the innings. Had he batted responsibly, India would have been able to win. India lost their first wicket by 65 runs. There was a big enough partnership. They lost the second wicket for 77 runs and lost the third wicket for 146 runs. And soon after that the Indian batsmen lost the truck. And the Australian bowlers took control of the match. India would have been in control of the match if the top-order players batted with some patience.
A good match by Australians they totally nailed interms of balling and fielding they didn't miss a catch , before indias innings everyone was expecting India to win but some carelessness on part of Indian players lead them to this defeat.
