In Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka 3rd T20 match Sri Lanka team came to bat and scored 174 runs for 7 wickets in 20 overs. Sri Lanka team batsman Kusal Mendis scored 86 runs off 55 balls. Kamindu Mendis was out for 12 runs off 12 balls. Kamindu Mendis batting today.  Did not perform well. W Hasaranga was out for 15 runs off 13 balls. Bangladesh team now came out to bat. 84 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 14.1 overs. Bangladesh team is under a lot of pressure with the loss of 7 wickets.
It was really a disappointing performance from Bangladesh. I will not gonna say anything bad about the bowling performance of Bangladesh but their batting line up fully destroyed by Sri Lankan bowlers N. Thushara and the W. Hasaranga they both did great performance at their bowling they took 7 wickets and most the wickets are really important today. I was thought that today Bangladesh will be the winner and they will win  this t20 series. But no one in top order batsmen did at least a performance. Most of them made duck.

Another competitive T20 match between India and Bangladesh. The three match T20 series was at 1-1 and with this win, Sri Lanka has won the series in Bangladesh.
Sri Lanka batting first made an average score of 174 in 20 overs. The required run rate was less than 9 for Bangladesh but Bangladesh's starting and middle order were completely destroyed by the Sri Lankan bowlers. The Bengali batting was a bit held longer by the lower order but they were short of 28 runs when they were all out and also out of overs.
Sri Lanka and Bangladesh seems to be on similar level at the moment and upcoming ODI series too are going to be interesting ones.

UP Warriorz and DC women's premier league was a close call. That was one of the most thrilling t20 match ending.
Delhi was comfortably chasing the target till 17th over. One wicket on the 18th over and they were a bit pressured. Than 2 more wickets in 19th over and still they needed 10 runs from last over with 3 wickets remaining. A six and 2 in the first two balls. That means DC now needed 1 runs to draw and 2 to win in 4 balls and had three wicket remaining.
But something unimaginable happened. They lost three wickets in the next 3 balls losing to UP warriorz by 1 run. This also keeps the chances of UP warriorz getting to play off alive.

In short, Liverpool is a candidate for the team that will go to the final round as predicted, getting stronger if they see how they beat Sparta.
Then AS Roma got better in De Rossi's hands. Roberto De Zerbi is increasingly fading because previously he was rumored to be the next Pep Guardiola.
As for Bayern Leverkusen, I kept quiet because they succeeded in stopping the wishes of some people who wanted Xabi Alonso's unbeaten record to be stopped by Qarabag FX.
Among the three England teams that succeeded to this round only Liverpool succeeded in winning yesterday match, and all the teams played away match, they still have hope of second leg which is going to be home game but Brighton allowed AS Roma to beat them 4-0, I only have hope for Liverpool and west ham. AS Roma have really impressed me since the coming of De Rossi, I don't expect any in second leg but winning again because Brighton are facing low performance which I will assume Brighton are out. Qarabag really show how good they are and how consistent they can be, Bayer Leverkusen were lucky yesterday if not Qarabag will end their unbeaten record in all competitions, they managed to end in draw, but still hope is not lose, second leg will determine who will escape the Round.

Liverpool is the top team at the moment in Premier League so they are supposed to be the favorite for the Europa Trophy but there's also the Bundesliga Nummer Eins, Leverkusen who might be the only one competitive team for Liverpool. I don't see any other options and hope the two are not drawn to play before the finals.
Even though Leverkusen saved the humiliating defeat against Qarabag in the first leg with an equalizer on the injury, they still are a capable team. Playing on an entirely new field could sometimes be overwhelming and they'll cover of the lack of advantage on their home game.

Layer 2 specially in Ethereum are going to be worth the watch for some years to come. Ethereum provides a good platform, documentation and ease of use to work on L2 networks even though Ethereum L1 is nearly unusable. The options of L2 are ever increasing and new projects are trying various ways to increase tps while decreasing transaction fees. The recent duncan upgrade in Ethereum has played a vital role in securing the future of L2  on ethereum.
Though I would not suggest L2 for long term. It's an alternative option till people don't find a good L1 alternative. And with the current market trend, it's not hard to predict that L2 could be obsolete within next 10 years as newer L1 or a different technology that what we are using replaces it.

Well, 5 down at the end of the day would've been great but lost 3 extra wickets, The 217 lead is healthy but India could've finished the game by out batting England completely.

The last 3 wickets of Jurel, Jaddu and Ashwin look bad here. Jurel should get the benefit of the doubt but Jaddu and Ashwin's dismissal looks bad and it felt like Ashwin forgot how to bat, not a good outing with the bat on his 100th test match.
Ashwin 0, Ravichandran Ashwin was dismissed for zero runs on the way to 500 runs in India's first innings, which is the only record of zero runs. However, the performance of the Indian batsmen in this innings is commendable.
However, Jaspreet Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav have been able to make a partnership of 45 runs so far. If India declares an innings of 500 runs then it is very likely that India will win by dropping an innings.


India is killing it. Though the performance of the lower batting order had not been as good as the top ones but the real batsmen had done their job for India. India is in lead of 255 runs in the end of 2nd day. A century from Rohit Sharma and Shubham Gill and a fifty for Yashasvi Jaiswal, Devdutt Padikkal and Sarfaraz Khan.
India would be trying to get quick runs on the morning session tomorrow either being all out or declaring at 300+ lead. And letting England bat trying to get some wickets in the day. It would be extremely difficult for England to win it or drag it to draw. This could even be the shortest test of the tournament if England performs similar to their first innings.

Manchester City still needs Haaland if they really want to make it far in this league and shouldn’t just depend on Foden alone since he can also be utilized in the front to score more goals for the team.

Of course Manchester City still needs Haaland on the club because since he joined Manchester City it has been from one success to another, so the way I'm even looking at it Pep Guardiola will like to extend his contract when it elapse because right now Manchester City cannot afford to lose Haaland because he is one of there key striker and also very good in scoring, so a player with that scoring ability is mostly valued on every team, Foden is also a very talented player that has been helping Manchester City a lot and his scoring record this season is very impressive so they need to gather all their strength to there upcoming matches because is gonna be very tough.

If they lose Haaland I don't think it will impact them that badly now that they have not been really consistent lately.They can still have a better score rate as anyone can be a striker based on the type of game play Pep Guardiola has.They need to be more precise and not waste many opportunities in front of goal as they seem to not be as precise as they used to,so this is their real problem and not a missing Haaland for the remaining part of the season.

Haaland indeed is a gem of premier league. Missing Halland would be a huge blow to Manchester City. Even though they have a good team without Halland, they won't be able to sustain the current position on the league without Halland. It's not that they are going to relegate but Halland is a goal machine and stats speaks it for him.
Earling Haaland is the highest goal scorer in the premier league till date in this season as well in the last season. For current season Haaland's goal are 29% of the total goals for the team. On comparison, the highest goal scorer of Liverpool Salah has 23% and highest goal scorer of Arsenal Saka has 19%. That makes Manchester City most dependent on a single player among the top 3.

So when actual ww3 happening ?
The war looking dumb the ukraune vs russia war it's same like east side of USA will fight against west the California.
Or Mexico go to war with USA or Canada will go war with USA or france try to invade italy or switzerland.
It's so dumb just until people fall into this it ain't gona stop.

A world war as multiple countries (in europe) directly fighting on both sides of conflict seems more likely than ever now. The circumstances for it are building on.
The only thing preventing the war was the general population not willing to go on a political war that doesn't directly involve them.
But that doesn't stop countries from using their army and there are division, diplomatic breakdown, propaganda and information warfare at highest level that has divided people differentiated by political border more than ever.
If a world war 3 is to start, it would start from Europe and as Europe goes to economic depression, the chances are relatively higher.

Gujarat Giants Vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Women

Gujarat Giants vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Women facing in the 13th match of Womens Premier League. Gujarat Giants won the toss and decided to bat first. Gujarat have not won a single match so far, they have performed very poorly in the last four matches.  But today Royal Challengers batted brilliantly against Bengaluru women's team. Gujarat Giants took 199 runs for 5 wickets in the stipulated over. Mooney & Wolvaardt put on 140 runs off 78 balls in the opening partnership. Laura Wolvaardt scored 76 off 45 balls, while Mooney played an unbeaten innings of 85 off 51 balls. Chasing the target of 200 runs will be very difficult for Royal Challengers Bangalore. If Gujarat bowls well then they can get their first win in this tournament.

Gujrat women did win their first game against RCB women. They scored an impressive 199, the highest total runs by any team till date in this season of women premier league. But they are already too behind on the league and this win and all of win in the rest 3 matches still won't take them to the play off. They just made it more competitive for rest of the teams for the play off position. UP warriorz do still have chances to qualify from play off. Still the chances of Delhi Capital directly going to final and RCB and MI playing the play off are high.

City and Real Madrid are through to the QF, it was pretty routine for Pep's men, but it was far from comfortable for Real Madrid and they just narrowly progressed to the next round, i reckon that they would improve, and they have to because the games are going to get tougher from now on. The four teams that have progressed thus far would wish to avoid each other in the next round, because they are the biggest teams left in the competition and a tie between any of them would be a cracker with no clear favorites.

I think I have seen one of the worst Real Madrid team ever.A team playing without motivation,without passion and a big lack of ideas in front of the goal.They narrowly passed but I think they needed to be killed by destiny tonight if that post of Leipzig in the 90 minute would have gone in,that would have been great to watch and follow.I am sure that they won't go far with this type of super boring game play that they showed tonight at home against Leipzig,again I have never seen such a weak Real Madrid and beside Bellingham they have absolutely nowhere to rely on for creating attacks,Modric is old,Kroos is getting there,so I see a big need for renovation for this Real Madrid team.

I predicted an easy win for Real Madrid against the Red Bull team in the 2nd leg in Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid are the top team in La Liga while Leipzig is struggling in Bundesliga but the game between them were completely different from what I expected. It's not a 1-1 draw because of a lucky or counter offensive goal, Leipzig was playing better than Real Madrid in most of it. Real Madrid did win the knockout due to lead in Red Bull Arena. They were thought to favourite team for the Champions league title but now they seem to be defeatable.
On another knockout Manchester City defeated the Copenhagen as expected.

Hello,
Can Ethereum reach $4,891 by the end of this month? Please answer only YES and NO if possible.

Thank you.

I guess, it would within March.
Ethereum had been making gains and sustaining it. Bitcoin tested the resistance around it's all time high creating a new one by a small margin and correcting at the time.
With the trend sustaining, we can easily see Ethereum making another all time high this month considering we have large number of days still left for the month end.
Ethereum is more popular at the current moment due to its duncan update, the effect would be visible in the network making it easier for people to transact in Ethereum.

Today there are further two 2nd leg matches of knockout stage of UEFA Champions League. And both easily predictable.

Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig 1:0
Manchester City vs Copenhagen 3:1


Real Madrid already in a lead would play against RB Leipzig in Santiago Bernabeu. It's easy to predict that Real Madrid would comfortably make it to the next round. Red Bull team is good but not a match for Real Madrid.

Manchester City is too playing on Etihad Stadium against Copenhagen, Copenhagen is not a match to Manchester City anyway.
312  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: March 06, 2024, 12:05:07 AM
Both of the 2nd leg matches of UEFA Champions league knockout matches ended as predicted. Bayren Munich was predicted to be dominant after they were down 1-0 against Lazio. Lazio too was a good team but they couldn't hold on to Munich's constant attack that they didn't even got chance to attack on Munichs post. Losing 3-1 on aggregate.
PSG vs Real Sociedad too was as it should be. PSG were already on 0-2 advantage and Sociedad don't have the same type of performance as last season, yet they fought well against PSG scoring a consolation goal at last.

This is a casino related issue. I feel like some people are lucky. Or maybe this isn't about luck. If you read on this forum and on the internet you will see that there are people who complain about the same casino that you have been playing for years about, being unable to login, unable to withdraw, and other casino issues, and calling these casinos scams. For some of these people, they didn't default on the terms and conditions looking at their screenshot evidence(I know that it is just a few cases). How does it make you feel knowing you've had a smooth experience while others have encountered such challenges?

I too never had issues with gambling website. They do make you do the KYC if you haven't prior if they found something suspicious. Most of the requested KYC are for people that are withdrawing huge amount of money and those withdrawing without much gambling. And if they do the KYC, there's not much issue.
We all know people are using casinos to mix their coins and this might get casino problems from the authorities. There are some casinos that might be creating issues just to confiscate the funds but large establish casino are in no way benefiting from scamming user's 4 digit sum as they might be making multiple times that everyday.
So, most of the times it's the users at fault. Not abiding by the terms they agreed on or trying shady casinos while there are  a lot of good ones.

Court sentences mother, son to 7 years imprisonment and what did they do? Court sentences mother, son to 7 years imprisonment

The mother and the son after gambling away 5.6 million naira, that is about $8,000. When the reality dawned on them, they gave false information in petition, accusing someone of fraudulently transferring the fund from their Opay account to the sport betting account without their authorization.

Could this be a case of making someone pay for what they didn't eat or a case of double standard.

Bet as you can sustain and not allow your emotions have a better part of you.



After losing a huge sum on gambling, It gets hard to swallow the reality. I feels like it's a dream and hope the reality changes or I could somehow undo this but what's done is done and there's no undo button on real life. We should accept the reality and learn from our mistakes and move on.
The case with the mother and son, I haven't followed it but they could be blaming the person that introduced them to the gambling. The person might have introduced them gambling as a way of making money like many people that advertise gambling website online does. Anyway the person that gambles with their are solely responsible for it.

Historical trend?
We have seen everytime Bitcoin breaks the last all time high, it don't only break the last record but rises much further to create another record. Bitcoin last time breaking the ATH around 30K rose to a high nearing 69K, thats more than double of the last ATH.
Similarly as now Bitcoin has beaten the last ATH of 69k, we could expect it to reach 135K. It's not a full proof analysis but we can easily predict Bitcoin to be at least 95k or something as 100k could be a large psychological barrier. Stii, it's wiser to keep on taking your profit.

Canada Vs United Arab Emirates

ICC CWC League 2, Canada vs UAE ODI match is live at Dubai International Stadium today. UAE team won the toss and they decided to bowl first. Meanwhile Canada Almost done their batting but only 2 bowls left from 50 overs and delay occured due to rainy weather. Well Canada have made estimate 241 runs already which is good runs to win the match if they could bowl well. Their top order batsman made some low runs and 4 wickets gone at 88 runs. After that, Harsh Thaker opt to bat and have made his legendary century, 111 runs from 113 and not out. Many players gone but Harsh Thaker is still on the field. Now waiting for UAE to start batting which is still depends on weather

Well.. this is turning out to be a very exciting match. United Arab Emirates needs another 55 runs to win against Canada, and the required run rate is well under 9 per over. And more importantly, they have 6 wickets in hand, with Rahul Chopra and Basil Hameed at the crease. At this point, I would say that the advantage is with the UAE. Canada surprised everyone by winning the first two matches in this series, but I am afraid that they are going to taste defeat today. Dillon Heyliger has 3 overs remaining. Let's see what he can do.

The unfortunate loosing streak of UAE continues as it loses by a small margin in slightly reduced gameplay. Canada nearly struggled batting first. A century from Harsh Thaker made them a good score of 241. UAE continued a good chase but were not able to get to the reduced target of 237 in 46th over.  They started better but their mid and low level batsmen couldn't score at a faster pace. The result means UAE would remain on the bottom of the league 2 table for some time now. They have one more game to be played with scotland and even though they win, they'll don't have a better run rate than Nepal.
318  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: March 05, 2024, 01:31:30 PM

The final match between these two teams, Netherlands vs Nepal, will be held today. Both these teams have hardworking players so I find it very difficult to make predictions about these two teams. Because these two teams faced each other in the second match and the fifth match, the wins of these two teams were equal. Which team do you think will win today's final match?
Netherlands outstanding performance and win the final by 4 wickets against Nepal. The Player of the Match is Michael Levitt from Netherlands for his amazing All round batting and bowling performance scored 54 runs in just 29 balls and also picked 2 important wickets for the Netherlands and restricted Nepal to under 185 runs. The Netherlands chased down the target and won the final match easily.
The final match of the tri-series in Nepal created excitement towards the end. Batting first, Nepal scored 184 runs, with a small partnership of top-order batsmen giving the Netherlands a defensible run target. Chasing a target of 185, Max O'Dowd & Michael Levitt got off to a great start as they put on 83 for the first wicket. Netherlands' run rate slowed down in the middle which required 40 runs from the last three overs. Sybrand Engelbrecht collect 21 runs in the 18th over turned the game. In the end, the Netherlands won by four wickets with three balls in hand.

Had been an interesting final in the Triangular T20 series between Namibia, Nepal and Netherlands. It was an odd choice of Nepal selecting to bat first when most of the result had favored a team batting second. Nepal created a defendable total of 184, they would have created more if they were not loosing wickets in quick intervals.
Netherlands started the chase with good first wicket partnership and even though their wickets fell now and than, most of the time they were better in run rate than required. They looks like the better team among the three and well deserve the trophy.

UP Warriorz vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Women

Today there was a match between UP Warriorz and Royal Challengers Bangalore Women. Match was held in M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, India. And Royal Challengers Bangalore Women won by 23 runs. UP Warriorz won the toss and opted to Bowl first. Bangalore Women bat excellently from start without losing more wickets. 198 runs total run and Smriti Mandhana made 80 runs from 50 bowls and miss the figure of century. But at least player of the match, might make her happy at the end. UP Warriorz made 175 runs only. Alyssa Healy did her best but rest of players out Earlier maybe for pressure of more runs.

With record breaking 50 from Smriti Mandhana and a car window shattering one from Ellyse Perry, RCB Women made a score large enough for UP Warriorz to chase. UP though played well creating their second highest score for the entire tournament with the help of fifty from Alyssa Healy, they were not good enough to get to the target in 20 overs.
This indeed could be the turning point for the Warriorz where they are out of the race for the finals. With now just 3 matches left for them, 2 are against the tough MI and DC. It seems now it's a game between MI, DC and RCB.
