Kolkata team collected 200+ runs for the first time in this year's IPL with Andre Russel's stormy innings. It seems incredible to me that Calcutta has such a large collection today. Because at the end of 15 overs, Kolkata's collection was only 123 runs with the loss of 6 wickets. I thought Kolkata would give a target of 160-170 maybe today.  Source: EspncricinfoApart from Phil Salt, the four batsmen in Kolkata's top order batted very badly. Salt collected 54 runs from 40 balls. Rashdeep Singh played an excellent innings of 35 off 17 balls. And Russell's innings was impressive. Russel was unbeaten by collecting 65 runs from just 25 balls. Russel hit 7 over boundaries. In the end, the Kolkata team managed to provide a target of 209 runs. |

Delhi Kings vs Punjab Kings today two teams will face each other surely both teams will want to start the journey of IPL with a win with their best performances. But I will put Delhi Kings ahead of Punjab Kings because this team has great players like David Warner no doubt David Warner is expected to perform very well if David Warner can perform well his team will definitely want to start the match with a win. But it is very difficult to say in advance that every team in IPL will perform brilliantly, let's see which team will win in the end.  I considered Punjab as favorites against Delhi today. There is no doubt that the Delhi squad is strong. Several experienced batsmen are in their squad. But the batsmen are not in good form. Warner and Shai Hope were not in good form. Then today Warner scored 29 runs and Shai Hope scored 33 runs. But their strike rate was not good. At the end of 16 overs, the Delhi team managed to collect only 128 runs, avoiding 6 wickets. Punjab's squad seems quite stable to me. They have quite a few good bowlers in their squad. Arshdeep, Rabada and Rahul Chahar are good enough bowlers. Also Sam Curran, Harpeet and Harshal Patel are good enough bowlers. Punjab also has experienced batsmen like Sikhar Dhwan, Curran, Livingstone and Bairstwo in the squad. |

 Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals will meet today in the second match of IPL. It is not possible to predict which team will win. Because this is the first match of both teams. Both clubs have strong squads. But we still don't know how the players are in form. This is why betting on this match is very risky. I will decide whether to bet on this match by looking at the final squads of both teams. Punjab Kings: Prabhsimran Simran Singh, Shikhar Dhawan (c), Atharva Taide, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Sikandar Raza, Sam Curran, Harshal Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar Delhi Kings: David Warner, Prithvi Shaw, Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant (c), Tristan Stubbs, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar, Anrich Nortje, Khaleel Ahmed Source: Cricket.oneThis can be a possible squad for both teams. But I don't know if it is completely believable. However, both teams have plenty of talented and T20 specialist players in their squads. So there is no doubt that the match will be competitive. |

I'm sure they have and they will.
Currently Barcelona's position is runner up, 2 points higher than its competitor, Girona. For the next 2 meetings, I am sure that Barcelona will still be in the runner up position. But next, they will face their main competitor, namely Real Madrid. This definitely won't be easy and the chance of winning is not that big. So, Barcelona must optimize all opportunities to compete with other clubs to get full points.
Girona will be in their best form now in order not to finish the game in a position worse than the one they are on now. They have really missed big time in the league this season and that cannot be corrected now again but can be controlled. Barcelona will finish in the position they are now if they remain consistent and win all of their remaining matches including the one with Real Madrid. Only when if they loss to Real Madrid will affect their position is when Girona don’t miss in any of their remaining matches too. If they do, Barcelona still stands a good chance to finish in their second position after Real Madrid’s victory as the La Liga champions.  Source: 365scoresPersonally I don't think it's possible for Girona to finish second in the table. And if Girona can't improve their performance, it's challenging for the team to qualify for the Champions League. In the last few matches we have seen the performance of Girona very erratic and unstable. This team failed to play consistently well. The team's performance in both defense and attack has been erratic. And that's why I think Girona's performance is very unlikely to stabilize again this season. The performance of Barcelona team players is now stable. In the last matches we have seen good performances from Barcelona players. And Barcelona team is not interested in losing the second place in the table. Barcelona players are also in good form now. Barcelona can hold the second place in the table. |

In first clash of IPL, CSK are very much in control at the moment. Just 24 runs required in 20 balls and it looks quite an easy job because CSK have 6 wickets in hands. MS Dhoni is no more captain of CSK and a young player Ruturaj Gaikwad has been given the captaincy of CSK. Ruturaj Gaikwad is just 27 years old and has played 19 T20Is for India so far. If he can prove his skills here then Indian team have an option for long term captaincy in T20.
First match and first defeat, royal challengers Bangalore start his IPL journey with first defeat which will be disappointed moments for thier fan because every year thier fan expect from them to win atleast a single trophy because each season they bought quite big names in order to get some significant results but every time thier player disappoint them and Carry on at this season too, start of RCB batting were phenomenal and they properly utilize power play but some of thier played very irresponsible and for that reason they unable to make a solid defendable target more ever they completely focus on thier batting so some haw they have big gap in thier bowling lineup, CSK while batting done magnificent and took a complete grip on match and easily finished the target before last ball and won the match You should have a good bowling attacks in League cricket especially in India ground because we have seen that 200 + scores are chased many times. CSK always have a very good squad and their bowling and batting both fit than others team. If we compare both teams then Banguluru batting was so strong but the way CSK control the run rate was show the class of M. Dhoni. In IPL less than 200 target is not looking strong target to defend. CSK will be more happy with first win against a very strong team which will more strong players hopes. It was a comfortable chase by CSK. The game was about which teams score at a faster pace with more sixes. The bowlers had less say on both the innings. Ravindra Jadeja delivered the most economic overs for CSK at 5.25 runs per over. While RCB on desperation of wickets used multiple bowlers. On a T20 batting 2nd is mostly a benefit. The pitch and weather doesn't change rapidly in short time and when you have wickets in hand, you know the target than it's easier to win. But the toss was won by RCB and it was their own call to bat first. Anyway, the opening game ended with the home team winning that would have made fans happy.  My guess was that the target would be less than 150. Because at the beginning of the innings, Royal Challengers Bangalore team lost 5 wickets only to collect 78 runs in Mustafizur Rahman's great bowling. Mustafiz picked up four important wickets in his first two overs for perhaps just 6 runs. Because of Mustafiz's excellent bowling, Bangalore's top order players could not bat well. Mustafiz took the wickets of Virat Kohli, Du Plessis, Cameron Green and Rajat Patidar. Anuj Rawat and Dinesh Karthik put together a partnership of 95 runs. And it was because of this partnership that the Bengaluru team managed to set a target of 174 runs. Anuj Rawat scored 48 runs off 25 balls and Dinesh Kartik scored 38 runs off 26 balls. Rachin Ravindra batted very aggressively. Ravindra collected 37 runs in just 15 balls. Almost every batsman in Chennai batted well. That is why Chennai did not face any problem to win the match. |

The first Test match of the Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka series has just started. Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and took the fielding decision.
Only two Test matches were held on this pitch in Sylhet. And in two matches, the team that batted first won. Bangladesh were also defeated on this pitch against teams like Zimbabwe. Even then, I don't know why the Bangladesh captain decided to field first.
Bangladesh lost the first T20 series. But we got good performance from Bangladeshi players in ODI series. Bangladesh team is weak as usual in test format. Let's see how Bangladeshi bowlers perform today against Sri Lanka.
The Sri Lankan team faced a bad batting disaster. Now it seems Shanto's fielding decision was completely correct. Bangladeshi bowlers are bowling well.  Source : EspncricinfoSri Lanka lost 5 of their batsmen to collect only 57 runs. Sri Lanka played very well in the ODI series. So I thought I would see a good performance from Sri Lanka in the Test format. But the Sri Lankan team lost Nishan Maduska's wicket for just 3 runs. After that Karunaratne and Mendis performed a bit better but could not extend the innings. Khaled Ahmed took all three wickets of the top order. Angelo Mathews is run out. And Chandimal's wicket was taken by Shariful. Bangladeshi bowlers are in excellent rhythm now. My guess is that Sri Lanka's innings will end within 150 runs. 250+ must be collected on this pitch if the Sri Lankan team wants to make the match competitive. If Sri Lanka collects like 150-180 then Bangladesh will dominate this match. |

 Source= EspncricinfoLike the first match, England women's team won today's match against New Zealand women's team. England women's team got a pretty easy win. However, they cannot provide big targets. However, since the New Zealand batsmen's performance was weak and erratic, England did not face any problem in winning the match. The England team set a target of 161 runs in the first match. England won the match by 27 runs. England has given a target of 150 runs in today's match. New Zealand women's team today collected 134 runs for the loss of 8 wickets. We haven't seen a good performance from the New Zealand women's team in the last two series. I was sure that the New Zealand women's team would not win the series against England. Still, I thought the series would be competitive. But if New Zealand's batsmen bat so badly, New Zealand women's team will be defeated in all the matches of the series. |

I think the local broadcaster already has all the rights, after all even FAN CODE bought their home game for the Indian market.
It's just that the Bangladeshi broadcaster (Main provider of feed) keeps failing to strike a deal with Australian broadcasters like FOXTEL or SEVEN Network and even for the English market (SKY, etc). This could happen due to incompetency, foreign broadcasters don't want to pay much, or maybe Bangladeshi providers are asking for too much money.
Yeah, I agree with you. There must be something wrong with the main provider of feed. Or this issue would not have persisted in the men’s side of cricket at the very least. A few years back when Australia and New Zealand came to Bangladesh, they had not been able to sign a deal with Australian media or New Zealand’s media channels. The possible reasons for this could be many, but they need to solve it as soon as possible. Because this might hold the Bangladesh team back in the future from getting to play with teams like Australia and New Zealand in the future. Playing this bilateral series are too important for a growing team like Bangladesh. |

The sad affair of Women's cricket continues. Not sure if anyone is aware of that but this Bangladesh W vs Australia W didn't attract any broadcasters.
It's not the first time Ban vs Aus series messed up due to no broadcasters and I don't know who's at fault here BCB providers or the Aussie broadcasters, but they ended up streaming the match on YouTube and possibly a full series. For Indian viewers, it's on FAN CODE because they had full media rights for Bong's home season.
I give partial blame to BCB. We have seen even in men’s cricket BCB were not able to attract any foreign broadcasters previously. Only the local broadcasters go to BCB because local people watch the game. That is why a part of the blame falls on BCB’s side which handles these broadcasting stuff. But I think the rest of the thing has to do with popularity. Not many people, especially in Bangladesh, watch Women’s cricket. So it is not surprising to me that they could not even find a local broadcaster to show these games on Television. These will take time, especially in a country like Bangladesh. |

I am very surprised to see the batting of Australia women team players. They are not able to bat well against weak opponents like Bangladesh women team. Mirpur's pitch is bowling friendly as we know it. Spin bowlers will naturally have an advantage on this pitch. Australia's batsmen should have performed cautiously from the start of the innings. If the top order batsmen batted responsibly, the Australian team could easily have scored big.  source: EspncricinfoIn 26 overs, the Australian batsmen managed to collect only 79 runs after losing 5 wickets. Captain Alyssa Healy scored 24 and Beth Mooney scored 25 runs. Gardner remains unbeaten with 15 runs. Bangladeshi bowler Sultana took two wickets, Marufa, Fahima and Nahida took one wicket each. |

I am interested in tomorrow's match between Bangladesh Women's Team vs Australia Women's Team. This is the first match of the 3-match ODI series.
Well you can get advance results for me Australia will won the series (lol) joking, I think it will depend on current day performance of team if Bangladesh able to tackle pressure situation well and Handel pressure situation than they can easily won the matches against any top side, it's not compulsory that only strong side will win we have seen alot of matches where weaker team shocked top side by defeating time at important matches. So Bangladesh should just focus on his hardwork and build unique bowling tactics to put Australian in big big trouble I am sure that unless a miracle happens, Australia will win this series easily. Bangladesh women's team is unlikely to win even a single match against a strong team like Australia women's team. Because I am aware of the performance of these two teams. You probably haven't seen the speech of Sultana, one of the most talented players of the Bangladesh team. Sultana said she considers Australian players as her idols. From this it is understood that Australian players are much ahead compared to Bangladeshi players. Bangladesh team is weak in women's cricket. Still the performance of almost all sports is erratic. Even then, Bangladesh will try to do well with the advantage of home ground. But the Australian women's team is very experienced. The squad has a lot of talented players who are capable of consistently performing well. |

Munich is also considered a team that is good at turning things around. as they showed in the round of 16, they were behind in the first leg and reversed it in the second leg.
This situation could happen to Arsenal. and as you said, if Arteta wants to be safe, they have to be ahead by more than 1 goal. It will be quite difficult if Munich is in top form.
There is still preparation time, anything can happen, but I hope both teams are at their best when the game starts.
Being 1 or 2 goals behind is not a difficult thing to overcome and I don't see too much of what Bayern did in the round of 16 when they managed to win over Lazio in the second leg, I think it was appropriate. Bayern has much stronger strength and mentality than Arsenal, so overall Bayern is slightly favored in this quarter-final regardless of what happens to the Bayern team in the domestic league. There will of course be fierce competition because Arsenal is not a weak team, but we also have to make realistic predictions to place bets and for me Bayern will be able to win over Arsenal. Lazio were comparatively weaker opponents. And Lazio won the first leg match against Munich which was an unexpected result. Lazio was not a strong team. So it is predicted that Bayern Munich will make a comeback even after the defeat of the first leg. And as expected, Bayern Munich won the second leg with a stunning 3-0 victory, and qualified for the quarter-finals. But Arsenal cannot be compared with Lazio. Arsenal is a very experienced team compared to Lazio. If Bayern Munich lose the first leg against Arsenal, they have very little chance of qualifying for the semi-finals. Arsenal's attacking players are in great form. Arsenal's defense is also strong now. Although Bayern Munich is a strong team, breaking down Arsenal's defense will be very difficult for the Munich players now. |

I am interested in tomorrow's match between Bangladesh Women's Team vs Australia Women's Team. This is the first match of the 3-match ODI series. Bangladesh team is very weak compared to Australia women team. And there is no possibility that Bangladesh will win this match. It is a very easy task for Australia to beat the Bangladesh team. However, the Bangladesh women's team is gradually improving. Playing against a big team like Australia will give the Bangladesh women's team an opportunity to become more experienced. Sultana: We see Australia's players as idols, so playing with them is huge Bangladesh women's team has several talented players in its squad. But the players are not experienced enough. So no player can consistently perform well. Bangladeshi players must be confident if they want to do well against Australia. And must be strategic. The match will be held in Mirpur. Mirpur pitch is completely spin friendly. Bangladesh team management must take this aspect into consideration when making their squad. |

But I think there are still competitive teams like Bologna who have to defend fourth position from As Roma. And As Roma is competing with Atalanta and Napoli who are trying to shift As Roma from fifth position.  There is no doubt that Inter Milan will win the Serie A title. No other team is vying for the top spot in the table. However, several teams are fighting for the fourth and fifth place in the table. Bologna are now fourth in the table with 54 points from 29 matches. Roma is 3 points behind Bologna. On the other hand, if Atalanta wins their next match, they will be only 1 point behind Roma. But I don't think Napoli have any chance of finishing fourth or fifth in the table. Napoli's performance is very erratic. The Napoli team will not be able to occupy the fifth place in the table Frossinone and Sassuolo are also trying to get out of the relegation zone because they don't have a big difference in points compared to the teams above them in the safe zone.
 Which three teams will be in the relegation zone is still uncertain. Because from Lecce in the 13th place in the table, Frosinone in the relegation zone is only 4 points apart. So even though Lecce is currently 13th in the table, the team has a high chance of going into the relegation zone unless they are able to perform consistently well. The teams at the bottom of the points table now need to play well and bring consistency in performance if they want to avoid the relegation zone. |

When we heard about Tuchel leaving Bayern Munich some people were happy to see these events because Tuchel didn't have good relationships with some players in Bayern Munich and especially with Joshua Kimmich. Joshua Kimmich is not a bad player but he doesn't have a good relationship with Tuchel and since Tuchel is going to stay in Bayern Munich, Joshua Kimmich prefers to leave the team. It seems nothing is clear about the next season for Tuchel and Bayern Munich so if he stays there, Joshua Kimmich will leave. Some teams like Arsenal and Liverpool are also linked to this player and they are ready to send offers for Joshua Kimmich. However, there were some other offers from PSG and Chelsea for this 29-year-old player but he rejected these offers.  If Tuchel's team fails completely this season, it will be inevitable that the management will replace him. Joshua Kimmich's performance has significantly declined since coach Thomas Tuchel took charge. Joshua Kimmich's future has recently been questioned. He only has 1 year left on his contract with Bayern Munich. Recently, the two sides have yet to agree on an extension agreement. The reason is that Kimmich wants to become one of the players with the highest salary on the team. But Bayern Munich disagreed because he had lost form since the beginning of the season. Kimmich is currently receiving a lot of attention in Europe. Man City and Barcelona are said to be possible destinations he is aiming for. I fully support him coming to Man City. This place is a united group. Coach Pep Guardiola has worked with him before, so it will be easy for them to connect with each other. Man City will give him the opportunity to win prestigious titles, and of course, his salary will be as he wishes. Bayern Munich will not win the Bundesliga title this season. After a long time, Bayern Munich lost their dominance in the Bundesliga. Munich have no chance of winning the title this season. With Tuchel, Munich's performance is now erratic. So if Bayern Munich can't win the Champions League title this season, Bayern Munich team will definitely fire Tuchel. Winning the Champions League title will likely save Tuchel's job. Tuchel does not have a good relationship with most of the Bayern Munich players. Kimmich is one of them. Arsenal and Liverpool among the 'five clubs interested in signing Joshua Kimmich', with Bayern Munich open to let Germany international leave in the summer if they fail to agree to a contract extensionKimmich is not interested in extending his contract with Bayern Munich. So Bayern Munich management decided to sell Kimmich. Arsenal and Liverpool are now interested in adding Kimmich to the squad. Kimmich is quite a talented player. Several other clubs seem to be interested in adding a talent like Kimmich to the squad. |

It's a shame that Monaco failed to secure a win at home after only drawing 2-2 against Lorient. Both teams played quite hard and the statistics also show that the two teams played quite evenly. But there was one unique thing in this match where both teams opened the scoring with an own goal from their players and a sight like this is very rare in a football match.
On the other hand, Monaco could have won because they scored the second goal in the 60th minute through Fofana but unfortunately they failed to maintain that narrow lead after Lorient didn't give up until the final minute. Bakayoko saved Lorient from defeat after scoring a goal in the 90+4 minute and forcing Monaco to only share one point. This match was also marked by a red card received by one of the players from each team. This result made Monaco fail to reach second place in the standings after Brest also only drew 1-1 against Lille.
AS Monaco shouldn't just have a draw with Lorient, they're just a team that's currently struggling to get away from the relegation zone but could cause a surprise at AS Monaco home match. What amazed me even more about Lorient was that they scored their second goal after one of their players received a red card. There's no more competition and racing for the Ligue 1 title for AS Monaco, but they should be able to maximize their chances of second place.  Source: GoogleI also expected to see Monaco win this match. And the performance of Monaco's players was good in this match. Even then Monaco failed to get 3 points. Lorient team is quite weak in comparison I would say Lorient was very lucky in this match so they managed to get 1 point. Lorient's midfielder Bakayoko scored in the last minute of the match. Bakayoko equalized the match by scoring in 90+5 minutes. Monaco's overall gameplay was very good. Monaco could have won this match if they had been a bit more tactical. A lot of attacks were made by Monaco's players. A total of 22 shots were taken by Monaco players in this match. 8 of them were on target. Lorient naturally kept their defense tight in this match and tried to score on the counter attack. |

Moreover, Barcelona's performance this season has been less stable compared to Atletico, but now everything has changed and the additional 3 points have put Barcelona in second place in the standings. I think Atletico must know that all teams are the same and must try to win and not just focus too much on their local rivals like Real Madrid. The additional 3 points are important to maintain stability and also create a safe position in top competition.  I thought Atletico Madrid could make things difficult for Barcelona, but I was wrong. In fact I think like you, because they concede the ball too easily and it looks weak like in your picture. It seems Madrid have to learn a lot from Barcelona so they can make Atletico like a docile cat. It seems that Jao Felix became Barcelona's differentiating actor, with his anger he worked hard to make Simeone feel guilty about letting go. Barcelona's play really impressed me; Athletico Madrid also had excellent chances, but their finishing were bad. I first assumed that Athletico Madrid would make the match difficult for Barcelona, but I was quite disappointed by their performance, especially their defensemen. I think Barcelona's playing has really improved. Many fans blamed Xavi for not having a coaching strategy, but he is one of my top three favourite coaches this season because it is not easy to manage a team that does not have funds, and he is doing his best because he is currently second in the La Liga table and he still managed the team to the Champions League quarterfinals, which I'm hoping to see Barcelona in the Champions League final. I thought Athletico Madrid would be difficult for Barcelona to win against in the league, but Barcelona surprised me with an easy win against Athletico Madrid at home. Barcelona's performance has improved lately, and it has helped them get some good results. Barcelona is now in second place in the La Liga table. That defeat by Barcelona have a negative impact on Atletico Madrid, because they need to fight back their way to the top four, so that they can be in the Champions League next season, otherwise they will have to go for Europa cup. I agree with you. Atletico Madrid players will lose confidence after this defeat. Because this season we have seen that Atlético Madrid is very strong in home matches. Atlético Madrid players were able to dominate every home match. Atletico Madrid failed to dominate the only match against Barcelona and the team lost 3-0 in the match. Atletico's players are performing very badly in this match. And if Atlético's players lose confidence, it will be very difficult for Atlético Madrid to win the upcoming matches as well. Barcelona was able to show that they are superior over Atletico, no matter where the match is played. This was why it was very easy for them to win the match with 3 goals on a clean sheet. Only if Bilbao and Girona drop points, that is when there can be hope for Atletico to finish on top four.
Atlético Madrid is now fifth in the points table. Moving to fourth place in the table is not an easy task for them. However, if Atletico Madrid can win the next few matches, then Atletico Madrid will probably be in the top four of the table. Atletico Madrid need full points against Girona and Athletic Club in the upcoming matches. Then Atletico Madrid can come in the top four of the table. |

We all know that Tottenham at the start of the season played very well so they were at the top of the standings for some time, sometimes it's like that when a team plays well at the start of the season towards the end of the season they usually play badly and lack consistency which is the case with Tottenham now and also Arsenal last season where they were at the top of the standings for a long time but towards the end of the season they played less well so Manchester City became EPL champions last season.
Tottenham played very well in the early matches of the season with an unbeaten streak, but gradually, with the force depth not strong enough to maintain their form, they fell behind. Tottenham started the season very well. They were able to maintain the winning streak for a long time. The players of Tottenham had a very organized performance. We were very surprised to see such a consistent performance from Tottenham. But Tattenham gradually declined. And Tottenham's performance at the moment is very erratic. In particular I would say that any of us Tottenham players are not getting good performances due to poor defence. Had the defense been stronger, Tottenham would probably have been able to continue their winning streak. Tottenham's decline is partly due to Kean's departure, and the overreliance on James Maddison in his playing style makes it very easy for Tottenham to be caught. Now, only Arsenal has enough strength to threaten Mancity's championship, with Tottenham maintaining a top 4 position which has been a success for them this season.
After harry kane left tottenham we thought that tottenham's performance this season will drop badly. Because Tottenham's main scorer was Kane. But without Kane, Tottenham have had a very good start to the season. The bonding between the players in the squad was strong. So Tottenham's performance was quite stable. Hopefully we will see stronger performances from Tottenham next season. But they definitely need to tighten up the defense. |

Afghanistan vs Ireland, 3rd T20I is going on. And is about to lose the match. They need Ireland need 63 runs in 23 balls where they are standing at 93-8 position. Today Afghanistan played well and made good amount of runs which is 155 runs where Ibrahim Zadran made 72 runs from 51balls. Total runs wasn't that much higher to make but today Ireland facing touble cause they lost so many wickets in earlier. Gareth Delany, Curtis Campher, Harry Tector made some runs but don't think they could win today
Afghanistan team brilliant performance in thus game batting first scored 155/7. Ireland failed to chase the target even with Curtis Campher 28-run and Harey Tector innings but the Ireland team All Out in just 98 scores in the 18th over of the game. Ibrahim Zadran was the top scorer of the match by playing an aggressive innings of 72 runs unbeaten and won the series. The target was not big. But the performance of Ireland's batsmen is very erratic. With the help of Ibarahim Zadran's innings of 72 runs from 51 balls, Afghanistan team collected 155 runs. I would not say that Ireland's bowlers bowled badly. The performance of the bowlers was quite good. Interestingly, each of Ireland's bowlers took one wicket.  I was very disappointed with the performance of Ireland's batsmen. - Andy Balbirnie - 09
- Paul Stirling (c) - 4
- Lorcan Tucker - 0
- Harry Tector - 16
Each of these batsmen is quite experienced and talented. But none played well. They have the ability to play big innings. But their main problem is that no batsman's performance is regular. I would say the players need to be more confident. Otherwise, consistent good performance is not possible. |

PSG must be looking for a new talent to recruit, and that talent must be able to play in a variety of positions as central attacker and winger, as Mbappe did. This will not be an easy task, but I am confident that many people are aware that the reason PSG is looking for a new talent is to replace Mbappe. I've heard several possibilities about a replacement for Mbappé, in the past there was a lot of talk about Vini Júnior, and this will almost certainly happen even though Carlo Ancelotti considered Vini non-negotiable at the time. Other names that have already been studied by PSG to replace Mbappé are: Rafael Leão, from Milan, Rashford, from Manchester United, and João Félix, from Atlético de Madrid, who is on loan at Chelsea. Currently I would bet on Luis Díaz, from Liverpool, as a potential candidate and I'm sure that PSG has already included him in their list of possible signings. I also have other names, less likely, but at this moment I prefer to wait for the market to "move" to guess more about it. I don’t think either Luis Diaz or Vinicius Junior would be joining PSG at this moment. Fabrizio Romano had said that PSG had already decided which players to sign after the departure of Kylian Mbappe when announcing the confirmation of Mbappe’s leave. Vinicius Junior and Luis Diaz are too important for their own club and are totally nonnegotiable if you ask me. Vinicius Junior and Luis Diaz are already very comfortable with their own club and leaving now would be a silly mistake. I also can’t think of any good replacement for Mbappe. Maybe they will try to find a new Mbappe and nurture him to become the next Mbappe. But it will take time. Players like Mbappe are very hard to replace. ◉ One important, top player in the attacking position to replace Mbappé — could be new winger or new striker.
◉ One top midfielder as Bernardo Silva was in summer list and Bruno Guimarães was also targeted in January.
◉ One top talented centre back for present and future, Leny Yoro super appreciated as well as Matthijs de Ligt. Source: Fabrizio RomanoSince Fabrizio has already said that PSG have decided which 3 players to sign, I think the best we can do is wait and find out a few months later when the transfer window opens. |
