South Africa scored 314 runs against Bangladesh, it surprised me. Usually, without Mirpur's pitch, we don't see the Bangladesh team perform very well. In particular, the performance of the top-order batsmen was unprecedented. After a long time, the opening two batsmen played well. At the same time Shakib's performance was outstanding. Everyone on the team played well. Now if the bowlers can play well, the victory will be easy for Bangladesh.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Raphinha has a 25 mil. release clause inserted into his contract that gets triggered in case Leeds gets relegated. Considering how good he's become there, it is no surprise that a lot of clubs are tracking this situation closely.

Barcelona seems to be the most interested, but for this price Liverpool will be as well. They tracked him for a while already and even considered buying him at a much higher price, so I will not exclude them from trying again even after buying Diaz. Especially with Salah's situation not sorted out.

Thank God you give credit to batsmen rather then blaming the board and curator for making a flat pitch that will take the match to draw. Definitely your moral goes down if you opponent keep on scoring runs, West Indies have a tough day ahead. They are still 436 runs behind England total, they should try to score at least 350 in there first innings to remain in the match.

Dan Lawrence was unlucky to bowled out on 91 runs and missed his century. Same type of bad lucks were seen yesterday by Babar Azam and Shafique when they were out on 196 and 96 runs. First test b/w WI and England ended in a draw and performance of both team is very much equal in that match. We need to wait till WI innings to see who will dominate this game.

I have seen the review noe for the Dortmund game and i have to say that Dortmund has got more chances that Mainz.
And they was just unlucky for not score more goals and also have seen that Haaland is back and playing again.
Fingers crossed he get back to his very nice performance in the next games and maybe we will see a surprise for the title,

Obviously I agree with you
they are definitely superior and have a larger team, so they can do well with turnover.
The teams play a lot today, and therefore the players are tired and at the end of the season the size of your team and the athletic preparation count a lot.

Manchester United were only passing the ball around the midfield, doing nothing with it, they couldn't break the Atletico Madrid defense, the best they got going forward was corner kicks, they spent the entire game complaining about the ref decision, I knew the game was over the moment Bruno and Elegan were taken off in the second half, they were the only players causing problems for the Atletico Madrid team, Matic and Pogba were very poor, they offer nothing to the team. Tbh I wasn't surprised because I knew they wouldn't make it past round 16.

So, the only way Manchester United is winning right now is Ronaldo scoring hattricks, otherwise, they are just lost for ideas!!

Pakistan need only 175 runs to win. They lost four wickets. Although the match is completely under Pakistan's control. However, they do not seem to be able to win the match. Because now the game of the third session is going on. So the match is most likely to be a draw. Pakistan needs 175 runs in 33 overs. Now Pakistan's run rate is 2.38. If you want to win the match, Pakistan has to collect more than 5 runs in each over.

I think it’s fair to say that England women team dominated the Indian women team right from the start till the very end, and honestly I felt that team India could have performed much better. Lastly @blatchcorn you’re right England women team needed this win badly, and maybe it’ll revitalise their tournament because so far they had been underperforming in their previous matches.

Manchester United will definitely be on high spirit against ATM and they will be banking on their super star player in the person of Ronaldo to deliver as he always does in UEFA competition. The loophole for United as always will be the defense and Midfield but most especially the defense. ATM will hope capitalize on any mistakes Maguire would likely make.

Ronaldo's performance against Tottenham has seen him return to form. And if Ronaldo is able to show such a performance against Atletico Madrid, then Atletico's defenders are not able to hold Ronaldo. Another advantage for Manchester United is that Atletico Madrid's defense is weak. So in this match, I will keep my money for Manchester United's favor.

Is the information about the injured players you mentioned accurate?
Because even, I didn't get any notes or info about the injuries they suffered in the match, they seem to have only been substituted considering they will be playing against Barcelona in the next match. I think it's natural that they were substituted in a match, they should have a long rest for a better recovery, it doesn't mean they are substituted they are injured.

Galatasaray played well in first half and Besiktas played well in the second half.
I think Kerem was the man of the match last night.
Some wrong decisions may have affected the match, but I look at the result of the match. This applies to all matches, not just Galatasaray.

Anyway, now we have to focus on the Barcelona game.

Man City had some goal scoring chances yesterday, but were very unlucky to score a goal, twice the ball hits the woodwork at the end the match ended goalless draw, recall City was unable to defeat Crystal Palace in their first leg, the race for the title is becoming very competitive and hot now with Liverpool playing against Arsenal tomorrow, another tough match, Arsenal would like to prove a point having been finding it difficult to defeat Liverpool in the past matches, this is a big opportunity for them to prove a point and an encouraging result so as to consolidate their top 4 position on the table.

Surprises might come at any moment in any game but I think City will win this match with 2 goals difference. Odds are big between the two teams, those who placed a bet on Crystal Palace @11 are very courageous, imagine multiplying your money x11
Even BTTS odds are higher than only 1 team scoring (I doubt no one will score).

Galatasaray will play a home match against Besiktas today. These two teams are the two renowned teams in the Super Lig. However, the situation in Galatasaray is much worse now. And if Galatasaray is defeated in this match, we will soon see the team in the relegation zone. However, Besiktas's performance is also irregular. Their defense is not strong. Galatasaray has a chance to score. What is your prediction about this match? Which team will you bet for?

I always lean towards Manchester United
what you say about defense is true, but over the years they have earned the name of "devils" not by chance
I don't know, I always fear them, the game from the point of view of the bet is very difficult

Hoffenheim were on a different spirit when they played Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich has no much problem apart from people predicting that Dortmund will overtake them.
But Hoffenheim has a major problem which is to qualify for europa and they played based on their problem and level of participation.  They are at same point in the table, a little mistake will tell the difference. If they continue this way, it could be a goodnews to them during the end

Already have very long talk about this topic but now it is excellent time for them to have some solid decision about this because it's not hard enough for doing this all with current two formats are fit for adding cricket into Olympics T10 and T20 leagues both have very good charm and suitable way for adding which will help this game and Olympics committee to generate good value.

But sadly ICC has never been active for this and never do any solid things to encourage other members for having some good views because here we are facing some internal issues which are mostly political and personal egos which are hurting this game in next few years more badly, and we can face backlash in few countries those are struggling to have infrastructure for this game.
