India Women vs Ireland Women
India Women vs ‌Ireland Women in ICC T20 Women's World Cup. India have played 3 matches and won 2 so far. Ireland have played 3 matches so far without winning even 1 match. India Women is at number 2 in the points table. Ireland women are in the 5th position of the points table. Maybe India Women will win the game today.

I am not even bothered with this match as I am confident that the Indian team will dominate this match. Ireland is a good team but they are no match against the Indian side. Give a few years they would become more confident and refined. I am pretty sure they would also start winning games if they started playing more bilateral or trilateral tournaments. ICC after this T20WC should create more such opportunities for women's cricket.
I expected the score to be something above 160 runs. During the drinks break India Women team have scored 63/1 which doesn't look to be enough in 10 overs. India Women team is in good position compared to the Ireland Women team, but when the target is low this will lower the pressure on Ireland Women team. India Women is almost into the semifinals even before the win against Ireland Women. However winning the match will keep them entering the semifinals on points than through the Net Run Rate.

Scotland vs Namibia the match is gonna start at 9:15 IST (3:45 GMT) .
According to the statistics Scotland is ahead from Namibia in every sector. Head to head Scotland have won 4 of their last 5 matches against Namibia while Namibia have won only one. And Namibia also in pressure for loosing three match continuously. Their batsmen and bowlers also failed in 2 consecutive matches against Nepal.
So it can be said that in terms of confidence, they will be behind from Scotland. There are about 6 hours left to the start the match, and still I will put Scotland ahead in terms of win provability.

Namibia team have improved much, but they lack bowling. Need to make themselves strong with bowling, only then it is possible to win matches. In the recent matches it used to score good runs, but the target is being easily reached by the opponent. If the bowling unit had performed better those matches would've been a win for Namibia. Scotland is ahead, still we can expect some good cricket.
Today the Namibia bowlers were doing well as the run rate of Scotland is found around 4.5 runs. In specific Ruben Trumpelmann and Scholtz have bowled well with the economy down to 3rpo. This is really good in ODI, and the score within 250 runs will increase the winning chance of Namibia.

I'm sure it has been generating quite the incomes for everyone, even passive incomes ones was massive, even though it might be not limited to bitcoin only, there are many altcoins that have given massive income from the airdrops and bounty alone, like aptos where it really shake the entire crypto space with their massive airdrops, so in it really does helps a lot in term of economy.
Yes, in the past people had benefited good out of bounties and airdrops. Those days aren't anymore as the airdrops and good bounties are very limited. In some potential projects the airdrops are based on lucky draw which is unfair. Anyhow it is true that altcoins too have supported in the economy of cryptocurrency users through some means whether it is through investment or through some small promotion works.
244  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can we experience $80k this year? on: February 19, 2023, 11:51:33 PM
THis year 80K I say this was impossible but I don't think wont happen in 2023 maybe we just see mini bull run or mini altseason but keep bitcoin in stash would be a great idea

Anything and everything is possible. 80k is very hard, but not impossible. If the demand keeps on increasing like this, then who know the price might reach 80k also. At first the main motive is to break the resistance and come out this bear market phase. If Bitcoins crosses 30k usd mark by the End of February, then there is high chances that the price will go up and we may see a new all time high price in November or December. Let’s hope for the best and most importantly don’t lose the hope.
Nope, the pressure to bring us to the bottom seems higher than ever now.

We might have to experience the bottom first this year before breaking another all time high price at the next halving by 2024 , i'm pretty sure we're going to get through hard times for one more time in the bitcoin winter this year , the next target always $100k though.

Are you saying we have to expect the bitcoin market to crash soon?  I do not think that we are going to have an ATH this year, it is highly unlikely.  And Bitcoin had been going through hard times every day like regulation challenges and adoption challenges.  If Bitcoin got an adoption explosion then it is possible that Bitcoin price will reach even higher heights,
Even if there is more support in terms of adoption and regulation from different countries, it seems to be hard to reach new ATH for one prime reason that is the halving. As the halving is scheduled for the upcoming year, the price will move gradually from the bottom towards new ATH. Reaching ath and from there making a bounce during the halving seems to be a rare move in my understanding.

There is no big tips and tricks. DCA is a strategy that lets you buy at the best price as the market is into fluctuation. Apart it is you to decide when to make a buy and selling. Not everyone are ready to invest when the price is at the down market. Whales invest when the market is down and most of the time small holders buy when market is set to be recovering. The right decision and the patience will bring profit out of the investment.
246  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What is the future of bitcoin without powerful nations? on: February 19, 2023, 11:36:43 PM
Bitcoin isn't developed to be used by any particular country or corporate network. The technology can be used anywhere and bitcoin is developed with the objective to remove the middle man. Here growth depends upon the common people, more the usage more will be the growth. At times mass adoption happens when positive moves taken from the large economies. It means they've got control over the market to some extent which can't be denied. But the users are key elements.

I am actually a little confused about picking a winner in this match. If we think about the current form of course Sinner is going to stay ahead in my opinion. But if we think about both of them and the head to head competition, Medvedev is the one.
Sinner is actually quite good at the moment and when he can beat Tsitsipas in the previous round it proves that he is indeed performing well and that increases his confidence because Tsitsipas was his toughest opponent before going to the final, but I predict that Medvedev will win the match in a tight match and ended up with 3 sets
Sinner haven't won against Medvedev in his previous four meetings. This gives more confidence to Medvedev while Sinner will be trying his best to make a win. Medvedev playing against the youngest Sinner will have good fightback and the match doesn't end like the semifinals that he had against Dimitrov. Right now Sinner leads the first set 3-1
Match have turned interesting with the first set being won by Sinner 7-5 and the second set won by Medvedev 6-2. Final set gonna be in favour of Medvedev, because the second sets winning momentum will continue. Sinner needs to play hard to make a comeback.

Nepal is situated in a region where we have 5 test teams, i.e., Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Srilanka and Afghanistan but still there is no presence of Nepal in ICC events. In ICC MEN'S CRICKET WORLD CUP LEAGUE 2, Nepal is at second last place but they were able to beat the top team i.e. Scotland today. This tells the story that Nepal has the potential to play good cricket.
The geographical location is right but they need to produce consistent performance to be able to included among the main teams, Afghanistan earned their position by being the top team in the associate leagues and winning major tournaments and if Nepal can replicate that kind of performance consistently then they can move up the division and compete among the top teams which might actually take a lot of time considering their rankings.
The location is right and the country can have good training sessions. Recently the performance have improved much from Nepal. Earlier it is very hard to see such kind of chase as well first batting score from Nepal. Most of the time the the score won't cross 200 runs. As an user suggested, the consistency in performance over the matches will make big changes in the Nepal cricket team.
Yes of course this is a good move from Nepal cricket team and I really appreciate the progress of this team just like you I also think that soon we can see the Nepal team in the top cricket teams(its really hard but those can achieve goal who tries best). If the government will decide to give a handsome budget to the cricket board so we can see more improvement in this team. By the way this an opinion, what will happen no one knows.
Is true that winning three matches in a row it's a good signal for Nepal cricket board. Although statistically they still have more losses than wins, but if they can perform well in the next matches like this it will help them a lot to move their cricket board forward. As they have been able to beat strong opponents like Scotland and Namibia, I think they will be also capable of beating others as well. Their batting line-up is also not as weak as before as they have made improvements in this sector. Hope the upcoming matches will be good for them. Good luck for Nepal cricket team.
Nepal cricket has made great progress. I regularly enjoyed their game scores. There has been a major change in their batting. Nepal vs Namibia In the 4th match, Nepal won again by chasing 274 runs with 2 overs remaining. They have produced some reliable batsmen and have the ability to perform in any negative condition. If Nepal can do this performance with a good team then they will be able to come to the front line like Afghanistan.
Compared to Nepal team's performance in the previous years, there is a big change. I think Nepal too have got their own T-20 league. These days players are getting improvement through these kind of leagues played within the country. If I'm not wrong the league too a reason for such performance coming from Nepal while chasing targets, because it can be seen that the players never take pressure.

Pakistan Women vs West Indies Women
The match was already started it's seems West Indies women batting performance is quite good in today's from the others two match. They took 72 run in 12 overs there required runrate is 6 and loose only one wicket. Although they are behind Pakistan Women's team in the points table, if they can manage the run rate like this today and set a good score for Pakistan, I think they can win.

We got a chance to enjoy a wonderful match. The performance of Pakistani bowlers was outstanding. Due to this, West Indies were given a target of only 117 runs. I thought Pakistan would win easily. But the Pakistani batsmen's performance was terrible. But the match was very competitive. Pakistan's collection was only 40 runs in the first 10 overs. And because of batting so slow in the first place, Pakistan women's team could not win. They needed 5 runs off the last ball to win. The match was very exciting till the last ball.
Pakistan could've won the match, because they won't get such opportunities often. West Indies bowlers did an awesome performance at the middle of the innings slowing down the score. In the last five overs Pakistan Women scored 6, 8, 5, 7, 14 runs. Last over alone 😃 good runs have come. In the previous overs they missed it and the same reflected losing the match. Anyhow good improvement from the Pakistan Women team.

What would then happened to those who invested at $12 plus?
After such trader made huge profits and how many traders made this huge profits as well. This is why altcoin investment is very risky because whenever the information is being circulated among themselves and they sold out, what would be of the project? This will be a purely an empty project whereby all token has been dump on the new investors. Although since my investment journey I have never made such profits before.
Checked with the coinmarketcap data, and the price of Gains Network at present is $9.770 which is not good for the people invested at $12 or more. These kind of activities makes altcoin investment much risky. Every project used to bump high when listed to Binance. The same had happened with this project, but somehow particular person have got information and the same had given him good profit. Not everyone gets such information,if so we too can be rich soon. Anyhow these tricks and insider information sharing ruins the reputation of the exchange and the project.

The Karachi Kings vs Lahore Qalandars is going on. In 8 overs Karachi Kings have scored 75 runs losing a wicket. Upon the present scoring pattern it looks like Karachi Kings could cross 200 runs. Mathew Wade who was batting good unlucky went to the pavilion on a run out. James Vince and Haider Ali is building the partnership slowly. Raza trying to break the partnership makes him go for full length balls and the same makes it easy for the batsmen.
Karachi Kings are batting well. They managed to score 127 runs after losing 4 wickets in 14 overs. On the pitch Imad Wasim and Ben Cutting who are capable enough to increase the score of the match. There is a possibility of crossing 200 runs. But if one or two over bowlers are able to create pressure then maybe won't be 200 runs but able to collect reliable score. If the total run is more than 170 then it will be difficult for Lahore Qalandars.
In every match karachi Kings had performed well and it looks like they're unlucky. Even in today's match Karachi Kings have scored 185 runs which is a good target. Lahore Qalandars have to reach 185 runs and with the good batting line-up it is possible. If the opening perform well, Raza will take care of the middle order. Lets see whether Karachi Kings have got luck today.

This is going to be hard to execute, because the oil dependent countries will face surely experience economic downturn. In oil dependent countries the fuel expense is cheaper than using an electric vehicle. Atleast for that reason it is possible to see petrol and diesel vehicles running on those countries. The plan to eliminate petrol and diesel vehicles will be applicable for specific countries and not for all the countries.

If such scenario exists does the F1 races too have the electric vehicles that go for the battery change in pitstop between laps. Wink

Ireland Women vs West Indies Women team playing the league match. Ireland Women have won the toss and decided to bat. Ireland Women lost its first wicket in the very first over. Further Prendergast and Lewis have developed good partnership and Ireland Women at 97 runs after 13 overs. Probably this match could go closer and I find this to be winning match for Ireland Women team, if the target is above 160 runs.
I also doubt that Ireland will be able to set a target of 160 runs.  Because they didn't even average 2 runs per ball their run rate is 1.27 so I think they can target 150 runs max. But since they have enough wickets, if they try to collect more runs without worrying about wickets now, maybe 160-165 is possible for Ireland. But West Indies can play better than Ireland so my prediction seems that West Indies are very likely to win the match.
Ireland wasn't able to make a big target. Based on the scoring that happened in the mid overs it was expected to reach 160+ runs
Fortunately nothing in favour of Ireland have taken place. As the target is low, West Indies could win the match. Ireland Women have won against Australia Women in the warmup match. This created big expectation over Ireland, but the continuous loss seems to be completely disappointing.

KennyR, it was actually very easy for West Indies women to perform well in this match. They have kept the pressure on from the start. Ireland women actually could not get enough on the board to actually give the West Indies women a good enough fight. It was not a big total for a 50 over match at all. It was actually a very small total. And as expected, West Indies women did not face too many problems getting to that total.

I honestly did not expect Ireland to win even if the target was above 160, I thought anything under 220 was going to be reachable for West Indies.

To be clear it is a 20 over match. Maybe I'm not sure whether Ireland would've won the match if the target was above 160 runs, but to reach 137 runs West Indies have got one ball left. Based on this I'm sure West Indies would've experienced more pressure if the score were above 160 runs. During the 19th over Gajnabi scored two boundaries that helped them for an easy 6 runs required in the last over. Anyhow good performance from Hayley Mathews that brought the win for West Indies Women team.

Its good to see that there are places which do provide out such service for free for those who are addicted with gambling.Dont know if these are real consults or just that pile of text which you would be reading it up.

No consultation but rather the casinos will just force you out of their circle. In online casinos, it means no email related to their service will be sent to you or possibly add the account to the restricted list. However, this will be useless as gamblers will do anything to return no matter what and there are lots of gambling sites aside from advertisements that we see on social media.

The best thing to do is not truly stop but become responsible as always even in an event of huge loss.
I don't agree, because we were unable to stay within our limits and the same keeps us on the losing position. It is business for the casinos and they just give the understanding about the risks. It is upto us whether we follow it or not. Only the gamblers mind can keep him away from gambling and when he's on the losing side it is a must to take a break.

If the gambler is able to stop, then it is a fair thing to go for it. By the time he can divert and focus on something else that could let him understand life as well as the consequences of gambling in a better way.

Mind telling us a few pointers on what you specifically talked about? Hopefully you truly know what you're talking about, because sometimes no information is better than bad information; especially in the context of bitcoin and investing in general.

 I introduced them to the concept called bitcoin, how decentralised it works, how it is different from our local currency,  I told them how bitcoin is held as a digital and electronical money, that you can store it, exchange it and use it to make payment.
You are doing a very cool thing!I am sure many people will be interested and in the future will also be part of the crypto industry and the big community.And you will be the foundation for their future.I like such enthusiastic people who themselves bring information to society and share their knowledge.Don't stop and keep doing good things.
OP is doing good work that helps with the wide spread of bitcoin. The efforts taken by him surely helps atleast a single child to explore much about bitcoin and continue to learn. With due respect while teaching we should give them the awareness too, because some sort of misunderstanding about bitcoin as a way to be rich or something like that will make them to be on the wrong direction. Let them understand the technology and slowly they'll understand the ways to earn as well as the risks that needs to be faced. Once again I appreciate the efforts of OP.

Scotland vs Nepal

Big disappointment for Scotland. 274 runs is quite good in ODI and Nepal have reached the target in 47 overs with 18 balls remaining. Nepal have won the toss and decided to bowl, Michael Leask scored 107* runs and the rest contributed in two digits making it a better score.

Nepal started to chase the target. Continued wicket fall and at some point Nepal's score was 77/5, further the bottom order performed well and won the match. It was Dipendra Singh Airee's 85* runs and Kushal Malla's 81(67 balls) that made Nepal win against Scotland.
258  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 17, 2023, 11:47:24 AM
Regularly going with 5-6 runs per over clearly shows that now Poms have no interest in a traditional way of playing test cricket, where batters used to grind all day. One can argue that under previous leadership they lost so many matches that they don't trust their defense anymore and adopted an ODI approach in test cricket. At the same time no one can deny that it's very exciting to watch and under Baz-Ben's leadership, this method turned out to be very successful. Aussies will have a tough time in the upcoming Ashes.
Isn't it better to score quickly by losing some wickets rather than scoring slowly by losing quick wickets? England has batted in the aggressive style against New Zealand in the first innings. England has whitewashed New Zealand in 2022 test series by playing in the aggressive mode. I think we are going to see the repetition of that series again. New Zealand is in under pressure now by losing the 3 wickets quickly.

you are right England's batsmen played well in the 2022 Test series and managed to win every match in the series. And in this series too, we are seeing the same kind of gameplay from the England team. The pitch is not batting-friendly. So England's batting was quite good. Since the pitch is not batting-friendly, now teams should aim to score runs by any means.

New Zealand batsmen are not able to play well. Although Devon Conway played well, no other batsmen could support him. Devon Conway remains unbeaten with 66 runs. And at the moment, New Zealand's collection is 127 runs with the loss of 5 wickets.
As long as the English team succeeds in this, these things will proceed. The idea of doing experiments is also a good one since many people around the world are no longer interested in test cricket. By playing ODIs style, they have changed this format. So far, England has done a fantastic job. They took six wickets of New Zealand because of their approach. Devon Conway remained strong until reach 77 runs as Stokes' got his wickets. New Zealand batters should perhaps change their batting approaches like England, as there is still a long way to go.
A nice test match to watch. England completed its first innings in a day scoring 325 runs, and by the second day New Zealand have ended it's innings scoring 306 runs. The match is really interesting as the result can be in favour of any of the teams. England have begun it's second innings and have scored 79 runs losing 2 wickets. Both England and New Zealand are playing in the similar way.

Alright.

After we saw bitcoin gets $25,100. Then it's starting to have some correction again and was out of $24k too quick.

Price as of typing is $23,729 and this is not surprising because we always get this at most times. Whenever bitcoin pushes for some higher price, it will be followed by a bit of correction.

And then the cycle goes on afterwards but what's important is we saw that it has broken $25k.
The price move had taken the price above $25k and fallen back below $24k. As mentioned it have crossed a price barrier and the same assure of growth above $25k at the shortest. We haven't got any incident that connects the market bounce as well as the drop. The price correction will keep the market around $23k for some time period.

When it comes to food, it is upto the end user who makes it. There are families that live the entire month with the same $35. Between different countries this changes and restaurants offering such low price meals is really impressive and when the competence is high, to stay on the top it is a must to compromise on the price. Over time the price will be increased, which is the base of business. Lets see whether the price is being increased over time.
