Quetta Gladiators currently need 60 runs from 44 balls to win. Khawaja Nafay and Sarfaraz Ahmed are batting. Khawaja Nafay is currently unbeaten on 31 off 16 balls and Sarfaraz Ahmed is unbeaten on 11 off 7 balls. As Quetta Gladiators have enough wickets in hand, I think Quetta Gladiators will win today's match. Quetta Gladiators performed well from the start and will easily win today's match. However, since cricket is a game, the playing position can change at any moment, so we will watch the game till the end and wait till the end to see which team will win.

QG about to win there second consecutive game of the tournament, just need 6 runs on last 9 balls. LQ gave a good fighting total of 187 runs but the top batting of QG played with responsibility and made it an easy win for the team. LQ bowlers failed to get early break through and that allowed LQ batsmen to settle down and scored runs.

Finally, third match of this competition was also finished today successfully among Multan Sultan squad against Karachi Kings squad. Karachi Kings squad lost first match from Multan Sultan with good difference of scores total 55 scores. Many batters of Karachi Kings squad was not displayed real and good batting inning performance like James Vince, Daniel Sams, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Nawaz and Saad Baig. James Vince Batter was wiped out at 5 scores, Saad Baig also not got out at 0 scores, Mohammad Nawaz also cleared out from crease after collecting 7 scores. Other batters Hasan Ali, Mir Hamza and Daniel Sams all cleared out at 0 scores which really a bad strength from Karachi Kings squad. Total defeating target was 185 scores which was made by Multan Sultan squad but Karachi Kings squad was unable to achieve this target and got a victory

My initial thinking was that Multan Sultans have not scored enough runs and it will be a bit difficult for them to secure 185 runs but we saw disappointing batting from Karachi kings. Look at figures of Shan Masood he played 31 balls to score 30 runs, Shoaib Malik was good with bat and scored 53 runs on 35 balls. The way Karachi kings have played there first match it seems like they will finish last on points table this year also.

At least on paper, Netherlands is supposed to be stronger. They are widely regarded as the strongest associate side. And they were the only associate nation to qualify for the 2023 ODI World Cup (and then went on to defeat South Africa and Bangladesh during the tournament). Also, they have most of their players participating in either county cricket or other first class competitions around the world. On the other hand, Nepal is considerably weakened by the absence of Sandeep Lamichhane. They are a very young side and none of the players have first class experience.

Namibia is also a strong associate team like Netherlands. We have seen Namibia in many ICC tournament's and todays game was supposed to be between two teams of equal level but it was Netherlands who dominated. It's mainly because of Aryan Dutt heroic bowling figures (9-034-6) that Namibia team were only able to score 123 runs and you can't avoid a defeat when you have that much total to defend.

Consistency will come with more experience. Look at the players. Yashasvi Jaiswal is just 22 years old. Shubman Gill is 24. Even Shreyas Iyer is still in his 20s. Rishabh Pant would be a good addition to the squad as well, and he is in his mid 20s. And then we have all the younger players who are still in bench, such as Sarfaraz Khan (26 years old) and Abhimanyu Easwaran (28 years). These players can only improve with time. Even the second string keepers, including Anuj Rawat, Jitesh Sharma and Dhruv Jurel are all in their early 20s. 

Yashasvi Jaiswal spot in test cricket is reserved because of his two double centuries in two consecutive test matches. I am not sure about Shubman Gill, he has already played 23 test matches and he is not very consistent in batting. He has scored 91 runs in last test which means he has secured his spot for this series at least. 
It was England second biggest defeat in terms of runs and heaviest in 90 years. England should have scored at least 250 runs in second innings to avoid such humiliation.

Rightly said, every investor (Both Bitcoin as well as other assets) needs both knowledge and patience. It's not enough to just buy Bitcoin and hope for the best, you need to understand the market and the technology behind it because if you're not fully equipped with the knowledge you need to make certain decisions, you'll be exposed to lots of dangers that is capable of negatively impacting your investment and you might end up making wrong decisions and putting your investment in jeopardy.

And you're also right that the key to success is often HODLing for the long term, rather than trying to time the market or make quick profits and it takes a great deal of patience to HODL. This is a lesson that many new Bitcoin investors learn the hard way.

Right now everyone is happy with Bitcoin price as its going up (52k$ as I am writing). But not everyday is Sunday, there can be times when Bitcoin goes bearish and it can last for months. What should be the strategy during that bearish season and what to do when Bitcoin goes bullish? These are all questions one has to address when investing in Bitcoin. One can answer these questions only if he has sound knowledge about Bitcoin.
Also one don't need to study books or go for extensive study to understand Bitcoin. There are very simple scenarios out there that tells how Bitcoin has behaved over a period of time. Based on these scenarios one can easily define his future strategy.

One scenario is JayJuanGee 6 different Hypo's that gives idea of accumulating Bitcoin for 5 to 10 years in DCA manner.

It is difficult to know what level of adoption bitcoin has, and I have my doubts that it has even reached 1% of the world's population, even though we have rich folks and rich institutions currently coming into bitcoin, including some of them entering through the newly approved Spot ETFs.  These guys are neither imuned from gambling tendencies or making mistakes of the past, including but not limited to mistakes made that led up to a lot of the 2022 cascading crashes of Terra/Luna, Celsius, Blockfi, 3AC, Voyager, FTX, Alameda Research,  Genesis (perhaps involving Grayscale) and probably some others that I am forgetting about...

Alts are launched with so many attractive features. They roam around for sometimes and then lost in the darkness forever. I had a crush on MATIC (POLYGON) last year after reading its features like side chains, low fees and more. The token is still there but wasn't able to take off despite so much marketing about its attractive features and now the team is launching new token with new features to generate more capital. The story may be different for other alts but the aim of all Alts are more or less same. There is no Alt that has survived the length of Bitcoin.

Karachi Kings won the toss and decided to field first. Karachi Kings skipper decides to field first but Karachi Kings bowler are not able to make good use of it. Multan Sultans players came to bat first and Mohammad Rizwan got out for just 11 runs. No problem. Dawid Malan and Reeza Hendricks these two foreign players are batting very well.  The way both of them are batting seems to give Multan Sultans a big target if they can extend their partnership. Reeza Hendricks scored 35 runs off 25 balls and Dawid Malan scored 34 runs off 23 balls. Both are unbeaten. Multan Sultans current score is 90 runs for one wicket in 11 overs .The state of their game looks like they might give a target of 180 runs to Karachi Kings.

We are seeing lengthy partnership in this PSL. In 3rd match, there is also a hundred runs partnership between Dawid Malan and Reeza Hendricks. Multan Sultans have only lost 2 wicket but they were not able to give a challenging target. Karachi Kings need 186 runs to win and they can get that if there batmen play responsibly. Team batting first should score over 200 runs if they want to remain in safe zone.

Although the two openers managed to collect 110 runs in 68 balls, none of the other batsmen in the team could bat well. So in the end Peshawar Zalmi lost the match by 16 runs.
Babar Azam got out after collecting 68 runs off 42 balls. After losing the wicket of Babar for 147 runs, no other batsman could play a big innings. Cadmore scored 18 runs off 18 balls. Powell was dismissed for 17 runs off 9 balls. Peshawar Zalmi could have won this match if Powell had stayed at the crease. Mohammad Amir and Abrar Ahmed bowled very controlled today. These two bowlers gave only 58 runs in 8 overs.

Zalmi run chase was impressive in the start, they lost first wicket when score was 91 runs in 8.4 overs. Saim Ayub was first Zalmi batsmen to dept after scoring 42 runs on 26 balls. Babar Azam kept fighting after the departure of Saim Ayub and played an agressive knock of 68 runs on 42 balls. Saud Shakeel is man of the match for his match winning 74 runs on 47 balls. Anything above 200 is not easy to chase but still credit to Zalmi batting for giving a good fight.

PSL 2nd Match PZ vs QG

PZ won the toss and asked QG to bat first. Quetta Gladiators took full advantage of batting first and gave a huge target to Peshawar Zalmi. From Quetta Gladiators, Jason Roay and Saud Shakeel gave tough time to Zalmi bowlers, Peshawar got first break through in 16th over when Saud Shakeel got out. Peshawar Zalmi run chase was good in the start but not good enough to win the match. Zalmi openers score 91 runs in 9 overs but once the opening stand was broken, Gladiator bowlers didnt allowed rest of Zalmi batting to settle.

It is hard to rest on my laurels, and yeah sometimes I feel that I should put some of the ideas or structure of my prior posts into my investment ideas thread, so that I don't need to repeat work that I had already done.

This is something badly required. All your previous posts must be gathered at one central place for quick reference. i have to spend time finding that 6 Hypo's post and that can be avoided if there is a central place where all posts are residing.

.........So, let's look at the historical numbers and the timeline from 2015 to present again.

1) 0) $250  (2015)                                    1X
2)  1) $500  (2015-2016)                           2X
3) 2) $1,000    (2016-2017)        2X * 2 = 4X
4)  3) $2,000  (2017)                  4X * 2 = 8X
5)  4) $4,000  (2017-2020)          8X * 2 = 16X
6)  5) $8,000   (2017-2020)        16X * 2 = 32X
7)  6) $16,000  (2017-2022)       32X * 2 = 64X
8 )  7) $32,000  (2021-2023?)      64X * 2 = 128X
9)  8 ) $64,000  (2021-?)             128X * 2 = 256X
10)  9) $128,000  (?)                    256X * 2 = 512X

This is an excellent chart for anyone who want to see how your Bitcoin value increases with time or see the Bitcoin compounding effect over a period of 10 years. We don't know what's coming ahead but this price chart is clear indication that something big will be coming in next few years. I will also bookmark this post like the 6 Hypo's post for ready reference.
With such data in hand, one must not worried about future price of Bitcoin. You just need to invest in Bitcoin (lump sum, dca or buying on dips) then all you need is patience to HODL that for at least 5 years. It's not that complicated.

After completing the ODI competition among these squads Sri Lanka against Afghanistan squad, now T20 competition has been lived between these squads and also First Match is ongoing on crease and toss already done among them and first batting Inning was also finished and Sri Lanka squad has completed this inning. At present moment, Afghanistan squad tried their hard performance in this match to defeat 160 scores target which was made by Dri Lanka squad. In 11 deliveries, Afghanistan squad needs 13 scores and Afghanistan squad have a high possibility to emerge victory in this match because they have also a 3 batter wicket behind for play. But recently, Afghanistan sqaud lost one more batter wicket and batter was Noor Ahmad. Lets see in next 9 deliveries, Afghanistan squad collected all scores or not.

Its getting very excited as I am writing this post. Afghanistan need 11 runs to win on 6 balls with only one wicket left. Ibrahim Zadran is well set batsmen on the crease and he faced last 6 balls. Here is how Ibrahim Zadran played last 6 balls, 0-0-0-0-2-4. Ibrahim Zadran was only able to score 6 runs on last 6 balls and result is Afghanistan losing the game by 4 runs.

PSL 1st Game LQ vs IU

Lahore Qalandars have given a target of 196 runs after they were invited to bat first. Islamabad united decision to bowl first might be right but there bowlers were not able to stop Qalandars from giving a big target. Win probability is towards LQ, there is 77% chance that LQ will win this game. IU openers have just started the run chase and things will get more clear after 5 overs of IU batting.

Happy to see Gill is getting some runs and contrasting approach from his 1st and 2nd innings that is really the difference brought the performance.

India is in a position that they can't lose this match from this point, so tomorrow they will come and starts scoring runs at fast pace and probably let England to survive for the 4 and half sessions which is not possible with bazball on 5th day pitch. I hope they don't mind missing Ash in batting but definitely his absence may hurt.

Gill scored a century at Visakhapatnam and going good in second innings. He need to bring consistency in his performance, if he keep playing like that then soon she will be axed from the team. Indian team got a lead of 126 runs in first innings and on stumps day 3 they are favourite for this test. In second innings, India score is 196 and they have still 8 wickets in hand. India will give target of over 400 run which won't be easy to chase.

Fakhar Zaman lost his wicket and I think he could also protect his wicket and partnership with Farhan if he played sometimes more defensively when Shaibzada Farhan did a wonderful score so he didn't need to hit a six, but at the same time, every batsman wanted to make runs and it's a natural and common thing in batsmen to in the search of 4 & 6. But if they lost their wickets so they have 0 advantages of this, but every batsman should try.

In today's match, Lahore Qalandars didn't have any spinners Rashid had an injury while Sikandar Raza is also not available so Lahore didn't have any spinner to take wickets and the important thing that the pitch is most useful for a spinner, not pacers but Lahore didn't have any spinner.

Fakhar Zaman score runs once in a while and mostly he is just a failure. There is nothing surprise if Fakhar Zaman once again depart at very initial stage of the innings. Lahore Qalandars have done a good job so far by scoring 178 runs in 19 overs. Sahibzada Farhan and Rassie van der Dussen
both scored half centuries. Rassie van der Dussen is still on the crease, scored 60 runs on 36 balls. Lahore team will defiantly score 190 runs and it will be interesting to see united run chase.

You give significance to managing funds because they play a major part in our lives. You said learning it is worthwhile. If it is so important, why it not be taught in school? What private matter would you say you are referring to? How can an individual learn effectively without given instructions? Even creatures teach their youngsters and we are better than them.

All that is important is to be taught at school. There will be fewer poor families and poor nations if all have a superior comprehension of how to deal with our funds.

Educational institutions can't teach you about financial education,  it's understanding comes with experiences and practice in real life.  You learn from your mistakes and dealings to manage your finances , like how to balance your profits and losses , how to deal with your income and spending.  
This can't be learned from any bookish knowledge,  this comes with age and experience , so it's important to let your kids manage their expenses from small age , give them a limited amount of money for their monthly spendings so that when they enter professional and practical life they should have this idea of financial management and this will save them from many losses and hardships.

Yes Chittagong Challengers players failed to meet the target of 188 runs given by Rangpur Writers team. The batsmen of Chittagong Challengers had a batting disaster from the beginning of the batting. Especially when the Chittagong Challengers lost 3 wickets for 32 runs, the Chittagong Challengers batsmen were under a lot of pressure and the Chittagong Challengers batting line became very slow. However, Rangpur Riders team players with their consistency, are at the top of the points table of Bangladesh Premier League. The fans of Rangpur Riders team are considering Rangpur Riders as the champion team of Bangladesh Premier League with full confidence.

Rangpur Riders are at number 1 position and defiantly they are favourite to win this year BPL title but keep your fingers crossed normally the unbeaten got eliminated during knock out stages. Today mach was an easy victory for Rangpur Riders. The toss went in favour of Rangpur Riders and they gave a decent target of 188 run batting first. From Chattogram Challengers side only Romario Shepherd scored 66 runs and no other batsmen gave him company that's why they fell short of chasing the target.

You've hit the nail on the head when you say that one of the most crucial elements in investing in Bitcoin is time. Your chances of getting a good return on your investment increase with the length of time you can hang onto your Bitcoin. Similar to a snowball effect, your investment will increase over time. Additionally, as you mentioned, you'll gain more knowledge on how to maximize your investment over time. The misconception that most people have when investing in Bitcoin is that it's a get-rich-quick scheme, but that's clearly not the case and that if they just start investing in Bitcoin, they'd be rich in a month or two, and this infact is the actual reason why most Bitcoin investors go into the short-term trade and they end up loosing money and giving Bitcoin a bad name, they go all in without really having the knowledge of what they are doing and then at the end incur losses for themselves. Bitcoin is more of a long-term game, and if you really wanna rip the true benefit of Bitcoin, then going long-term will definitely help you achieve that.

Bitcoin investment is combination of knowledge and patience. You need to have knowledge about how to invest in Bitcoin to get good return. We have discussed many investment strategies here i.e. DCA, LUMP SUM and buying on dips. Which every strategy you adopt (or you go with all three) the key to success is patience or HODL for long term without it you wont see good results.

So yeah.. 4-10 years or longer would be a good way to think about any bitcoin that you buy to have at least that kind of timeline, so if you are DCAing into bitcoin for 6 years straight, then your earliest BTC buys would have had reached investment timelines of 4-10 years or longer,

You already have a post where 6 different Hypo's are discussed that gives good idea of where you are if you are accumulating bitcoin for last 10 or 5 years.

Yesterday, New Zealand needed 227 runs to win against South Africa and I said then that runs will not matter to New Zealand if they build a good partnership. New Zealand started the fourth day well and their team captain secured the victory. Williamson was unbeaten on 133 runs. New Zealand batsmen did not perform well in the first innings but in the second innings they managed to play an important innings and that important innings helped them win. In Test matches, one cannot expect to win only one innings well, instead of just one innings, one should try to perform two consecutive innings, but the victory will likely come in favor of that team. Congratulations to the New Zealand team.

It was an opportunity missed by SA to level the series. SA were right on top when NZ team got out on 211 runs in first innings but then again SA batting failed to deliver and got out on 235 runs. In second innings, NZ team made no mistake in chasing the target of 266 runs. Kane Williamson and Young both had a partnership of 152 runs. Kane Williamson was man of the series because of his 403 run in 2 tests.
