 Virtually no bilateral cricket is happening in cricketing world right now but from next week this is going to change (SL vs BAN). IMO this test series might not effect points standing that much. Sri Lanka is playing spoiler role in this cycle, not in this test series tho ( Spoiler role is reserved for home test matches against Pak and Aus) -snip I really don't expect anything from Bangladesh at all in the test cricket format because they are very bad at test cricket. I can even put my trust in Afghanistan a lot more in test cricket instead of just hoping that Bangladesh wins and I become the loser. I believe Bangladesh is not good in test cricket and this has been the case since the start, believe that in comparison to Bangladesh. I do not think the Srilankan team will be playing in their right mindset considering the present economic situation in Srilanka. I believe it will affect their overall performance. I think Bangladesh has a better chance as they will have the home ground advantage and they would be mentally more stable than their counterparts. I am waiting for the test match between England & Newzealand which will be played next month. That would be a better match to watch. I believe you’re right because the Srilankan player’s will probably be distracted by the sad events taking place at home, and this will be an advantage for Bangladesh player’s but do you’ll feel that they’ll be able to capitalise on it. Furthermore I’m backing Bangladesh to win or expecting the match to end up in a draw because I feel that they’re slightly better than Srilanka due to home advantage, but it seems that many here are backing Srilanka so maybe I’m the only one underestimating Srilanka?. On papers Srilanka is a better test playing team but the situation is different at the moment and that is why I feel Bangladesh has a better chance of winning, it is possible that the end result of this series might be draw. If Bangladesh is able to draw the series then still it will be better than losing it. |

Mumbai Indians VS Chennai Super Kings
Chennai has given a target of only 97 runs, Mumbai lost 4 wickets for just 33 runs. But then Mumbai won because of a beautiful pairing of Tilak Varma and Hrithik. Tilak was unbeaten on 34 runs. Mumbai won by 103 runs in 14.5 overs. This was their third win. However, after winning this match, Mumbai's position at the bottom of the table.
Big performance from Chennai, the players should realise such a big audience is behind and watching the match. Among this 97 runs, 15 runs were from extras. So what the team have scored is 82 runs. Within this score CSK tried the best to make it a win. The last hope of CSK to playoff came to an end. What was going through Moin Ali's mind when he played that shot? Except Dhoni non of them showed the intent of batting. They were giving away their wickets to MI. This team has lost its ability to deliver simple wins. MI were on fire and only of they had played with the same intent in other matches then they would have easily entered the playoffs. |

Rajasthan Royals VS Delhi Capital
By defeating Rajasthan, Delhi still has hopes of qualifying to the next round. Although the Delhi team is a stable team, they are not playing well on a regular basis. They have won only 6 out of 12 matches. However, Delhi's performance in today's match was good. While the pitch is not batting friendly, the performances of two experienced Delhi batsmen, Mitchel Marsh and Dave Warner, have impressed everyone. If such performances continue, Delhi will reach the fourth position in the table in the next few matches.
After Rajasthan scored 160 runs, I thought Delhi was going to lose this match. Because in the last few matches we have seen that it is becoming difficult for the teams batting in the second innings to collect 100 runs. Delhi opener Srikar Bharat returned to the dressing room with zero runs. But with the help of Marsh and Warner's experienced batting, Delhi won. These two batsmen formed a partnership of 144 runs. This match would be known for the batting and bowling of Marsh. I enjoyed his batting more than his bowling and not to forget David Warner's support. 160 was a good score to chase for DC and I never thought it would be easy for DC to chase that target but these two made this win so simple. I hope DC cements its position in this season of IPL playoffs. |

$25,000 is always possible this time. But I believe if ever it will happen, that will be the first time that Bitcoin will visit again $25,000 after the start of the year 2021 which we created a new all-time-high after a long bear run during 2017-2018.
If ever that will happen, the next stop is $20,000, or just a very long wick only.
Already nearing the 25k mark and I think it will hold at that point. We are into the bear market now officially and I guess this time it might stay much longer. Not many good signals are coming out from different governments accross the globe. |

More dump on its way. For now this is bad but Bitcoin has always been like this. It will again rise up. I guess a lot of weak hands are already out. |

Did anyone watch NAS Daily's YouTube channel recently. They interviewed CZ as Most Humble Crypto Billionaire . Does anyone here thinks this video really meant with the concept of " truly believe in something"? I felt it was more of a gimmick and a way to promote Binance in the middle east as he was wearing the Binance Tshirt and also at 3:20 Binance exchange was introduced. By using these statement " Even his own mother said, he was a stupid kid and he was wasting money", they showed nothing is impossible with Binance. Another intelligent and unique marketing approach by CZ. This is what is called shadow marketing . Link to the video https://youtu.be/W0vEdn2jwyI |

Thank you I got paid too, you are a great campaign manager I think you paid out of your own pocket,
Yes something like that. I am waiting for team response and payment. If they come back and send payment then campaign will be re-run again. And my Money will recover. Otherwise My money will go as a fine. He he First, I say thank you for the 2nd week's half payment, 2nd, Although you are starting to build your reputation here, however, I don't think it was a good idea to sacrifice your pocket just to pay for the participants. I know these people (including me) will understand the situation as this is not the first time it happens in signature campaigns. But you have made a decision already and I just hope the team will communicate with you back and settle everything. One of there Community manager said me. Core team very busy. That's why they didn’t response my message. But i can't Trust them and continue campaign without get money in my hand. Coz if they didn’t able to pay timely. It could ruin my reputation. and it is enough for get negative feedback. as a unprofessional manager. He he. I will not take any risk for others In my opinion you should have waited a little bit more for the teams response. In the meantime you could have informed all the participants about the situation and asked them to wait. You could also have paid us half of the amount by the end of the week as most of us know that it is not your fault. I still respect your decision and would like to confirm that I have also received half of this week pay. Thanks once again for giving me the opportunity and I hope that the team responds asap so that you can recover the amount you have paid us. |

]Shahid Afridi is looking at a career in politics and he knows he needs to throw grey on everyone and he is doing that to get some political mileage. The other day is saw him drilling Danish Kaneria for the comments he made. I am not too inclined on what he is doing in his private life and now with his entry into politics you will hear more absurd things from him and it is better not to discuss these things here  . Right now he is just trying to be part of ruling party in Pakistan but no one has yet accepted him or given him an option to join there party. Sports and politics are two different thing and you need to be very strong if you want to be a successful politician. Afridi should focus on cricket and no need to get involved in politics. I guess he might be doing the right thing by trying become a part of the present government of Pakistan. By being part of the ruling elite he will have access to vast resources that can majorly help PCB. PCB needs money and infrastructure to bring back the old glory of Pakistan cricket someone who has been cricketer and not a follower of ex priminister can make a difference. Being a supporter of Imran Khan will not help him in creating his own identity as it will be shadowed by Imran Khan himself. |

Can you explain what this double wicket tournament is all about, i was not able to find any article regarding this. I really liked the T20 version, if not i doubt i would be watching Cricket as i considered it as a long format to have the patience to watch the matches earlier but the introduction of T20 and the advent of cryptocurrency based gambling sites helped in learning the game. I am not a fan of T10 because it is hard to predict, even T20 is hard to predict and hence i doubt i will be watching anything that is shorter than T20.
I can give you some explanation about this because I personally involved in this for many years and enjoy too much this is mostly played in streets, and sometimes we have tournaments in big grounds it's all like we have Super Sixes in Hong Kong but here just two batsmen allowed for batting throughout format like four overs or six overs and every time you lost your wicket -10 or -5 cut from your scorecard. But, you're allowed to play all your overs after this they calculate and if you are in plus then this set as target for other team and if you are in minus then still you are in match because you are also have chance for bowled out other teams in minus this was very interesting time but now recently due to some domestic issues mostly peoples forget about this format and replaced by these T5 and T10 which are still very popular. I am also hearing about it for the first time. I have played different type/format of street cricket but I have never heard about it or played it. How many players are allowed in each team considering only two players are allowed to bat. I assume each team will have a minimum of two players and they can also bowl. Then how many fielders and does it have a wicket keeper? |

Being a supporter of Chennai Super Kings tried to find possible chances of getting into the playoff after a big win against Delhi Capitals. It looks funny, but any form of changes can happen with T20 format cricket.
MI vs KKR - Any team can win
LSG vs GT - Any team can win
RR vs DC - RR needs to beat DC
CSK vs MI - CSK must beat MI
PBKS vs RCB - PBKS needs to beat RCB
KKR vs SRH - KKR needs to beat SRH
CSK vs GT - CSK must beat GT
LSG vs RR - Any team can win
DC vs PBKS - DC needs to beat PBKS
MI vs SRH - MI needs to beat SRH
LSG beat KKR - Any team can win
GT vs RCB - GT needs to beat RCB
CSK vs RR - CSK must beat RR
MI vs DC - MI needs to beat DC
SRH vs PBKS - SRH needs to beat PBKS
If the outcome of the above matches come as this, there is chance for CSK to enter playoff based on the net run rate which is another big task.
CSK and MI need to do something incredible in order for them to qualify for the playoffs. Everyone knows LSG and GT will easily qualify and for the next two positions in the playoffs 8 teams will be battling with each other. In my opinion RR should be the third team and the fourth would be either SRH or DC. I do not think CSK has nay chance in this season and the same goes for MI. |

Education is not a problem because all of em are highly educated individuals but problem is they lack empathy and decency.
I'm reading too much comment here about Shahid Afridi and i would like to remind that he's the same guy who used to beat the shit out of his girls because he found them playing cricket and imitating hindi tv serial. Now it's up to Pakis if they want such individual in the politics or not. IMO this kind of personality deserve mental asylum or jail.
Really shocked to hear this about Shahid Afridi? Did he really beat up his girls just because they watched TV? What sort of lunatic would do something like that? I liked him for his power hitting and funny behavior.. but this was something completely unexpected. We are living in the 21st century and such behavior has no place in modern human society. Being a female I am profoundly offended by this behavior. Forget about the PCB, this guy should not be allowed even to contest as the president of the local cricket club. Watched couple of interviews where in one of em he was clearly saying that girls shouldn't play cricket at all and he stopped his girls from playing cricket or any outdoor game in public (By giving them chaped -thappad) in private they can play and regarding Hindi tv serial, he apparently got angry because his girls imitating hindu traditions like people do in diwali, holi and starting saying Namaste etc. --- He also mentioned this in his Book - His girls are not allowed to play cricket or any game in public- I remember he got trolled on social media for his male chauvinistic approach. This was in the year 2019 and I was able to find that video, you can check it here. Shahid Afridi might be a good player but if he becomes a politician then he will most probably ban female cricketers in Pakistan. |

The two new teams are really strong and they are able to field a winning combination in their first tournament which is really great. I never expected a turnaround like this as i expected them to take a long time to play together as a team but surprisingly they are the best teams in the tournament with a well balanced team and they can win the tournament with the way they are playing.
It is surprising. Two new teams are on the top of the table, and the irony is that the teams that are considered as heavyweights are all outside the top-4. Look at teams such as Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders. These teams have won the championship the most number of times, and now they are languishing at the bottom of the points table. In case of Mumbai, it has been a horrendous season so far. They won two of their matches lately, but before that lost 8 matches consecutively. These two new teams have a majority of new players who are eager to prove themselves. CSK, MI and KKR are full of established players and old players too. KL Rahul has previously failed as a captain and in this season he has proven that he can handle captainship very well. Hardik Pandya has also show that he can handle captainship without jeopardizing his performance. It all about getting attention of the selectors and being ready for the next role. |

Well.. I am glad that Mumbai finally managed to win one match. Now they have two wins from 10 matches, and the good thing is that they have won all two of their last matches. Along with CSK and KKR, they don't have any chance of qualifying to the next stage. But whatever they get in the next 4 matches will be useful for planning a strategy for the 2023 IPL season. Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma made 40s, and this time batted with confidence. Tim David also scored a 44, which included 4 sixes. Bowling is still a worry for them, as Bumrah went for 48 runs without a wicket in his 4 overs.
Does not matter anymore with just one win they are not going to reach anywhere. This season was the worst in terms of performance by the MI. They invested heavily in a single player rather than investing in multiple players. That is why you need to diversify your portfolio. I am not sure whether they will retain Ishan Kishan and a few other players for the next season of IPL. Right now the fight is for the fourth position in the ranking table. PBKS players with RR today and this match might determine the fate of PBKS. |

I'm also not a big fan of T-10 in international arena but at the same time T-10 types of tournaments are ridiculously famous in Gully/local cricket. I'm sure 99% of fans grew up playing such type of 10-12-15 overs matches, i know i did.
So may be T-10 doesn't have any place right now but i do see some space for this format in future.
We even used to play T5 when we were child with some interesting rules like anyone who miss two deliveries will be out. In countries like Pakistan, India and Bangladesh kids used to play such shorter format until they grow up to club level. T10 or less is popular among Gully cricket there are rear chances it will make it to international level. Never played T5 in my childhood but I remember a few interesting rules wherein one tip one hand catch was a rule and no sixes but only fours will be counted. Those rules were created as we played street cricket and we never wanted neighbors coming out and banning our cricket match because we shattered their windows. I still miss those days. I do not think T10 will get as hype as T20 got because T10 is too short as a cricket format. A batsmen's main aim here is to just hit the boundary and there is nothing left for bowlers to prove in this format. |

It's not only in India, the whole south Asia media is getting out of control. The primary reason is that these media houses have joined political parties and when there party came into power they do such dirty tactics. Shahid Afridi who was big supporter of Imran Khan is now criticising Imran Khan to get some benefits from new government.
Not much surprised regarding Shahid Afridi's behavior. He will make up a good politician in the future, as he seems to be an expert in all the political tricks. Anyway, if Imran Khan can become the PM, then what prevents someone like Shahid Afridi or Wasim Akram from trying their luck with politics? But a better option for Shahid Afridi would be to get involved in PCB or the ICC (similar to what Sourav Ganguly has done in India). First let him gain some experience by taking up a position in the PCB. After that he will realize whether politics is suitable for him or not. Sourav Ganguly does hold a considerable amount of influence in West Bengal. That does not mean he will be joining a politically conscious state. Given the example of former cricket Navjot Sidhu, I do not think a cricketer will have long-term success in politics. There were many cricketers like Kaif, Azhar, and others before or at the time when Sidhu joined politics and who failed. So, I do not think he will joining politics. |
