Afghanistan's batsmen have given a very disappointing performance as they started batting in the first Test match against Ireland. Afghanistan batsmen should have batted more responsibly. Afghanistan's batsmen have had a bad performance against Sri Lanka in the Test match, so Ireland's opponents have batted very badly. The way they are batting, it looks like Afghanistan will be all out before they can even score 200 runs. Ibrahim Zadran scored the highest runs for Afghanistan. Afghanistan's current score is 121 for 7 in 40 overs.

Afghanistan only managed to score 155 runs before getting all out. Their performance against Ireland mirrors their struggles in the recent Test match against Sri Lanka. It's clear that Afghanistan still lacks the readiness and maturity needed for Test cricket. While they perform well in white-ball cricket, they struggle with the red ball format. To improve as a Test cricket team, they need players with the temperament suited for this format. On the other hand, Ireland's batters have responded well and seem poised to take the lead against Afghanistan. I wouldn't be surprising if Ireland ends up winning this one-off Test match.

Yes, at the Manchester City match
against Luton Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland seemed to have a good understanding and connection on the pitch and they brought a special connection that worked well together.
Erling Haaland scored five goals in the 3rd, 18th, 40th, 55th and 58th minutes, one goal, and this was the first time in Malakukam in the EPL and one goal was contributed by Mateo Kovacic in the 72nd minute. And this cool result means that defending FA Cup champions Manchester City have successfully advanced to the quarter-finals, and the opportunity to defend their title is wide open. Grin
To be honest, I was surprised when I saw that Haaland and De Bruyne were in the starting lineup for this match, there were thoughts that Guardiola would give the leaders a little rest for the cup match. The interaction between Haaland and De Bruyne was very impressive, KDB made an assists, and Haaland scores first 4 goals , it was cool. And of course it is worth noting the form in which Haaland is, 5 goals in one match is very impressive. It’s clear that Luton is not a team with the best defense, but someone recently complained that City haven’t scored enough in recent matches, is 6 goals per match enough?  Grin
Luton played aggressively, which allowed Man City to score 6 goals. Haaland's performance was outstanding in this game! Both Haaland and De Bruyne showed their top form. It's great to see them performing so well at this crucial point in the season. No complaints here. This performance couldn't have come at a better time, especially before the Derby match. Man City will surely take this as a confidence boost for their upcoming Derby game on Sunday.

Yes I also think the Rangpur Riders team lost to the Comilla Victorians because their bowling was not consistent. Even though their batting got better their bowlers couldn't stop the other team batters which caused them to lose. It's important for a team to do well in both batting and bowling to win. I hope the Rangpur Riders team can improve their bowling and come back stronger in the next games.

It was a battle between the top two teams in the Bangladesh Premier League, and in the end Comilla Victorians emerged victorious. The partnership between Litton Das and Towhid Hridoy was so crucial. It added 143 runs on board after Sunil Narine got out for a duck in the very first ball of the innings. Rangpur had premium bowlers such as Shakib Al Hasan, James Neesham, Fazalhaq Farooqi and Mohammad Nabi. But these two scored at a rate of almost 10 runs per over and in the end Victorians won with 1.3 overs to spare.

Litton Das and Towhid Hridoy's brilliant partnership secured Comilla Victorians a spot in the BPL 2025 final. Both players are known for their performances in big matches in Bangladesh, and they demonstrated their best form while Rangpur bowlers struggled to contain them. Despite Jimmy Neesham's career-best unbeaten 97, Rangpur's efforts fell short once again. It was a high-quality qualifier match that surely delighted the fans. This marks Comilla's fifth appearance in the final. Rangpur still has another chance and will face Fortune Barishal in Qualifier 2 tomorrow.

It's strange to see that Real Madrid have failed to win twice this season against Vallecano, while Girona have beaten Vallecano twice this season. Grin

I think Real Madrid must learn from Girona to be able to beat Vallencano and in fact it is no longer a public secret that Vallecano will not be able to win against this team. However, if Real Madrid were wiser in securing victory, the point difference from Girona would certainly be much greater than now.

Girona's victory with 3 goals without reply against Vallecano also had the impact of returning to second place in the standings and shifting Barcelona. I think Girona is still not finished competing for second place in the standings and they will continue to try to fight other strong competitors such as Barcelona and Atletico to get this place. But if Real Madrid stops winning the La Liga title, it will be too late this season because Real Madrid doesn't want to lose points like before.
La Liga title are only for the competitive teams, none of these teams will easily give up despite the challenges they're facing in the league. Girona was serious in the beginning of the season and they eventually climb the #1 position and couldn't maintain that position for long, thereby giving up for second spot, perhaps they're hitting harder than before to reclaimed their spots. They're still striving to gain access to streak winnings. Real Madrid have some opponent they're finding really hard to win this season and there are also some of these opposition that doesn't portray a single threat.
Girona had a comfortable win against Rayo Vallecano. I hope they step up because La Liga needs fresh teams to pose a challenge. However at this moment the battle for second place between Girona and Barcelona is intense. Girona briefly took the top spot but couldn't hold onto it, and they are still finding their level. La Liga is still wide open, point gap is not as big. Even if they don't win the title, they can keep Real Madrid on their toes until the end.

India secured the five-match Test series with a 3-1 lead, with one match left to play. Dhruv Jurel has emerged as a standout player for India, and Shubman mature innings also deserve praise. Players like Jurel, Ashwin, Gill, Kuldeep, Yashasvi, Rohit, and Jadeja have all contributed significantly. It's heartening to see young talent shining on the field, showcasing a true team effort. Test cricket becomes even more exciting when India emerges victorious. Congratulations to India for a remarkable series win, especially considering the absence of many senior players. Rohit deserves special recognition for his leadership.

I was seeing the line up of Al Shabab and man, what a good team they have, with the last reinforcement they make a very good squad for this league.

Names like Carrasco, Rakitic, Saiss and Habib Diallo makes them a good team and a hard one to beat. But they are out of range for this season top positions.
Really.. thera re some very good players in the team, just when i read Rakitic or Yannick Carrasco, wow. But Al-Nassr won it, even if it was close, a 3:2 is enough for 3 points. Talisca scored 2 goals today and he got the win and they are now 4 points behind Al-Hilal in the league, but I dont think they can catch them this season, they had the chance but they lost the game. Cristiano Ronaldo also scored a goal today, never mind it was a penalty. Good entertaining game with 5 goals and a red card.
With a composition of players like this, Al-Shabab will be a strong team next season or at least be able to compete for the SPL title, and they just need a better goalkeeper to make their squad even more perfect.

The match against Al Nassr was quite entertaining and Al-Shabab gave their best in this match, but luck was not on their side. Overall Al-Shabab played well and even appeared dominant in this match but was less effective in completing the opportunities that existed. For al Nassr, this victory is important in order to maintain hopes of being able to compete with al Hilal in first place.
Ronaldo scored a penalty to put Al-Nassr ahead 1-0. Despite two quick counterattacks by Al-Shabab, Talisca scored twice to secure the win. A late goal from Talisca sealed the victory against a strong Al Shabab. Although Al-Shabab were almost came close to victory, yet so far. They'll likely gain more confidence and strength in the upcoming matches.
Al-Nassr secured an important away win, but they need more clean sheets as they chase the league leaders and aim to compete with Al Hilal for the top spot.

Manchester United had been winning for 4 weeks but yesterday they lost against Fulham, breaking their good run.Manchester United are really missing something and it could be because of Erik ten Hag.Sometimes the football that some managers want with the big teams doesn't match and Manchester United have a good squad in my opinion.I would be hesitant to put up with Erik ten Hag for another season because I don't think we've seen any extra performance from him.They didn't play very well against Fulham but they could have taken points from this game.89. Maguire scored the equalizer in the 89th minute but they conceded again 2-3 minutes later and lost the game.
That goal by Harry Maguire wasn't enough to save the day. Man United's performance has been up and down this season! They faced a tough match against Fulham, who put up a strong defense, and Man United struggled to find the net. I have to say, the attitude of some Man United players during games is disappointing. Fulham deserved the win; they completely outplayed United. Man United have dropped 17 points at home this season, including losses to teams like Bournemouth, Fulham, Brighton, and Crystal Palace. Honestly, this manager and his tactics aren't good enough. Eric ten Hag seems to be the main issue with the team. Despite the injuries, Man United still have a talented squad. They might need a change in leadership next season if things don't improve.

Juventus has got an opportunity today to add three points to their current points to helping get a boost even if they still will not be able to displace inter Milan from the top of the table because the point difference is just too much that they can close the gap just by wining one or two matches, Frosinone according to the H2H has always not been able to get three points from Juventus so Juventus has got experience of always winning them when ever they get to meet.

The game is still ongoing, this is second half with the score at 2:2, it seems like Juventus will likely to share the point at home. It would be very disappointing for Juventus to lose or draw this game; despite only playing in Seria A, they are still having trouble winning games in order to keep up their title race with Inter Milan. The game is still ongoing, let's see how it ends and whether Juventus will wins three points.
Juve secured the win in the end and earned all 3 points. Thanks to a last-minute goal from Danielle Rugani. However, this Juventus team seems to lack quality in midfield. It's disappointing that they only managed to win at stoppage time, especially when playing at home. This victory puts a lot of pressure on Inter, who play later. Regardless of how Juve won, the result carries significant weight in the title race.

Barcelona won with a strong play and left no room for surprises. Even though their claim to the championship ended a long time ago, they show that they will not give up second place. When Xavi leaves, he wants to at least finish 2nd in the league. It was also interesting that Barca scored 4 goals today and Lewandowski didn't score. Fermin Lopez was finally able to score another goal. Lamine Yamal didn't take time today.
the 4-0 victory over getafe successfully put barcelona in second place in the current la liga standings and this is really good.  raphinha managed to make 1 goal and 1 assist, he performed extraordinary, i am optimistic about what barcelona will achieve this season, even though they are not able to overtake madrid because the point difference is quite large, but i see barcelona is still a strong team.

while atletico madrid were held to a draw by almeria, atletico madrid failed to maintain the game they had mastered since the start of the match, this made atletico have to settle for remaining in 4th position.
Or was Raphinha just on fire? He showed his potential scoring and assisting. These games keep me optimistic about Barça's season. Given the points disparity, overcoming Madrid may seem impossible, but give the club credit for its fight. Against Almeria, Atletico squandered a chance. Its frustrating when they dominate but lose.

Lets not neglect future obstacles. Barcelona-Bilbao is a vital match. The Barcelona we love may be returning if they win again. Even if consistency has been a problem this season, matches like the one versus Getafe give fans hope. Thoughts? Is Barcelona's momentum sustainable?
Keep up the good work, Raphinha! He could do well, but only if he stays injury-free. The team had a great performance. Barca needs to play like this against Napoli too.
It was a solid performance overall! Getafe has always been a tough opponent for Barca, so defeating them is satisfying. Barcelona is improving at a crucial time in the season, which is great for the team. Let's hope they maintain this spirit and keep pushing until the end. Although they did well in this match, they'll face tougher opponents ahead. However, these results are boosting confidence and optimism for the upcoming fixtures.

India took control in the second innings. Indian spinner bowlers are bowling brilliantly. Ravichandran Ashwin took three wickets in the second innings of England's top order batsmen. Kuldeep Yadav destroyed the middle order batsmen. Kuldeep Yadav has taken four wickets so far. England took 139 runs for 8 wickets. Zak Crawley scored 66 in the second innings.12 more overs will be played today, it is becoming very difficult for England to survive two wickets at this moment. I think England can't take a lead of more than 220-230 runs.
England batted well in the first innings but could not bat well in the second innings. England scored 353 runs in the first innings but were all out for just 145 runs in the second innings. In the second innings the spinner bowlers of India performed brilliantly and all the wickets were taken by the spinner bowlers. India scored 40 runs without losing a wicket at the end of the third day in the second innings. We will see the result of this test match tomorrow. India need 152 runs to win which they can easily win.
From 110/3 to 145/10, it's disappointing to see England's performance. Once again, England's batsmen disappointed. They missed a great chance after their strong first innings. India's lower order performed well, and then their spinners took control. England needs to quickly dismiss India's batsmen. but it feels like England let a good opportunity slip away. India is clearly the stronger team in India. This series might end up 4-1 in India's favor.

I don't understand why you think it's an interesting match. On one side, there was the undefeated leading team of the league, and on the other side, there was a team at the bottom of the league. The match was as everyone expected and Leverkusen won the match. It was a bit surprising that Mainz 05 scored, yes, maybe that could be interesting Cheesy
In fact, Mainz 05 found more positions than expected from them. Maybe they weren't very effective, but the fact that they scored a goal is a really good thing.
I wonder if Leverkusen can continue undefeated for the rest of the year Smiley

Yeah it wasn't technically an interesting game as Mainz were the much weaker side. However they still resisted well against Leverkusen as they lost only by one goal. If it weren't for that red card after Leverkusen's second goal then maybe Mainz might have scored the equalizer once again. But we will never find it out.  Grin

It is a great work by Leverkusen and now Bayern Munich are under pressure. It is really hard to say something like Bayern Munich will win against Leipzig for me honestly. Because after seeing them getting shocking results consecutively I just want to watch how they will play instead of placing a bet on them.
Looking at their past matchups, Bayer Leverkusen has a better record against Mainz. As expected Leverkusen won their home game against Mainz, though with just a one-goal difference. There wasn't any dramatic end from Mainz, and Leverkusen secured all 3 points. This keeps them undefeated in all competitions this season, which putting more pressure on Bayern Munich. It's surprising to see Bayern Munich 11 points behind another team in the league but this is the fact. They'll have to handle the pressure and work hard to catch up.

England team had a fall of wickets in the beginning, due to which England team so far scored 302 runs for 7 wickets. A Test game is essentially a wicket-keeping performance for a long period of time, in which seven wickets fell on the first day. The current batsmen should not be relied upon. If these two batsmen can perform for a long time as strong batsmen, Root and Robinson can definitely give India team a big night's target. Indian team is very strong in Test matches as proved in past matches, in which case England team must perform for a long time keeping the wicket under control.

I wouldn't say England is on top just yet. We need to wait and see the final total and how India responds. yeah a decent day for England, but they need to keep it up over the next few days. It's definitely an improvement from the last test. Joe Root is playing his natural game, scoring fluently and at a decent rate. His partner Robinson is also playing his natural game, which is important for setting a big target. It's hard to say what a decent total is. We can't be certain until both sides have batted.
313  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 23, 2024, 08:27:29 AM
Bairstow looked good as he ever did until he once again went for a sweep shot, and got out . Root is looking in touch too, he's refraining from risky shots and it's serving him well, as he just completes his fifty.

Akash Deep has taken 3 wickets, but I'm not that impressed if I'm being honest, will reserve my judgement until he plays few more matches.

The Indian bowlers dominated the first session of Day 1, but it seems like the England batters are fighting back in the second session and aiming to finish the day on a high note. We can expect a typical Joe Root knock to continue, with hopes of converting it into at least a century.

Akash Deep, making his debut, is already leaving a strong impression and deserves praise for his performance.

Australia gave the New Zealand team a small target of 175 runs. The started well and were having a run rate of more than 13 before the end of 10 overs. From the 10th over the started to lose wickets in quick succession which resulted in the collapse of thie batting. I doubt they will be able to win today as the target can be easily chased by the Kiwis. If they win then they will win the series as they have already won the first match.
Lockie Ferguson put up an excellent performance with figures of 4/12. This restricted the Aussie side to 174 runs, showing great bowling from the Kiwis. It was a solid fight back from the Kiwi bowlers after a strong start from the Aussie opening batters. Otherwise, Australia could have set a much higher score. Now, New Zealand needs 175 to win and level the series 1-1. After their top-notch bowling and fielding, it's now up to the Kiwi batters to chase down the total.

Quetta Gladiators did a great job limiting Islamabad United to just 138 runs in their 20 overs. Shadab Khan didn't make any big plays tonight. The Gladiators' bowlers were outstanding, so now it's up to their batters to chase down this total. Quetta seems to have a well-rounded squad this year, with strong bowling and batting units. btw! it looks like an easy chase for Quetta against Islamabad.

I am yet to forgive Arsenal Fc and Arterta for losing my bet yesterday. Arsenal disappointed a lot of people including myself in that match, they were in great form and anyone could easily predict them to win even with 10 men. Unfortunately, it boils down to the fact that football isn't mathematics and there's no definite formula to calculate the correctness of a team winning a match.

Arsenal better prepares well to beat the Porto team by a wider margin when they play at home, or this might mean more troubles for them.
Arsenal disappointed everyone yesterday with there inability to score, I believe so many gamblers lost there betting on that match because they did not believe that Arsenal will be this inconsistent, however it was actually unlike Arsenal because the Arsenal we use to know on the premier League was totally different from there performance yesterday because is a team that knows how to utilize a scoring opportunities but I was surprised to see how they were struggling to score when they have all the opportunities they needed to score.

Funny enough FC Porto did not even give them much of a serious pressure because Arsenal dominated the match right from the beginning of the match till the end of the match, actually seeing how Arsenal was playing especially on the first half of the match you will think that they will score more than 4 goals on that match because there possession can never be compare with FC Porto, although Arterta pattern or formation was not really helping because that was actually one of the reasons why Arsenal was performing that way which lead to there losing.
Arsenal couldn't manage a single shot on target in this match. It's disappointing, but not entirely surprising. Their lack of experience in the Champions League was evident, as they seemed hesitant to play their usual style. Arsenal struggles against top-tier opponents were on display.
It was a tough night, but losing 1-0 away isn't the end. Knockout stage games are always challenging. Some worry this might be where the season starts to unravel, but hopefully not. Arsenal fans are hopeful for a better outcome at the Emirates. It'll be a different game there. However, there's a concern that Porto might try to slow down the match and disrupt Arsenal's rhythm, aiming for a 0-0 or 1-1 draw. Porto knew what was required last night and will make it tough in the return fixture!

Today we have a saudi league game, but in the champiosn league of asia  Grin between Al Nassr and Al fayha we can expect an easy win for the Cristiano Ronaldo team, which is way better but in the first game we see they only can make a 1 goal diference between them.
Al-Nassr was ultimately able to win with a score of 2-0. And it's very unique or this is a pretty good coincidence. Because in the last two matches, Otavinho and Cristiano Ronaldo both scored 1 goal each in the last two matches. And this was a fairly easy win for Al-Nassr.

But I didn't see Talisca in action today. I hope he is fine because I really like the player. He contributed a lot to Al-Nassr's attack line and quite often helped Cristiano Ronaldo.

Al-Nassr advances to the AFC Champions League quarterfinals. Otavio scored the first goal, and Cristiano Ronaldo scored the second goal in the 86th minute. As always, he delivers when it matters most. Cristiano Ronaldo's late goal sealed the victory. He's simply the greatest goal scorer of all time, with 876 goals and still counting. Cristiano and Otavio sends Al-Nassr into the round of 8, while Talisca was absent. Talisca has been a key contributor to Al-Nassr's attack, but it's reassuring to see the team win without his presence. Hopefully, he'll return soon to continue his contributions.

Thomas Tuchel's departure at the end of the season has been confirmed by Bayern Munich and with this we also know the candidate for the next coach for Bayern Munich. Xabi Alonso was immediately linked with this news and as a successful coach with Leverkusen so far he is at the top of the list of those who will replace Thomas Tuchel. We know how Bayern Munich performs and they have the strength to convince their new coach later.

It is not difficult for Bayern Munich to get a coach as genius as Xabi Alonso, but they have to go through the competition to sign him first with Liverpool. It is no longer a secret that Xabi Alonso will leave Leverkusen at the end of the season because offers have come in from elite European clubs. Well, this will be a fierce competition for Bayern Munich with Liverpool to be able to convince Xabi Alonso and whoever gets him will emerge as a very strong team with such a beautiful game.

Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1760238929289040337
Finally, some positive news from Bayern Munich. It was expected that this would happen, we just didn't know when he would leave. Honestly, they haven't lived up to expectations given the talent they have. This team is not performing well this season, so it's clear that they can't keep him.
Now, it's going to be a long process again to bring in a new coach and staff. Right now, Thomas Tuchel and Xabi Alonso are quite different, except for their height. Will Xabi Alonso be the new coach for Bayern Munich next season? Does this mean he won't be coming to Liverpool? Of-course, this will be an interesting competition between Bayern Munich and Liverpool.

A mix of bad bowling and fielding placement but I cannot take it away from Tim David. It is what he's brought into the team for, along with Maxwell. The amount of power and technique to hit the balls out of the park with ease is commendable. His batting in the 2nd last over made it comfortable for them in the final over but it did get very close. The last 7 balls that David faced went for 4,6,6,1,6,2,4(winning runs).

New Zealand can't believe that Mitchel Marsh and Tim David will change the momentum of the game. Rachin Ravindra blow able team to score past 200. The finish was not too good and I think it should be 230 or more because so many wickets was in the hand. 215 was also not bad score but the way Australia manage to chase is remarkable.

Before Mitchell Marshall comes to crease, chasing this big target was looking so difficult but after quick start from great man make it easier. Game was once again in the hand of NZ when 8 balls 28 runs was required but David back to back sixes make possible it. Tim southee was only looking for Yorker and one mistake (full toss) gives opportunity to David to go for six. enjoyed a good game.
The target of 215 was set very well by the New Zealand batsmen.  And that too in an innings of 20 overs.  Their batsmen made this target with hard work and struggle.  But the Australia batsmen gave water to their given target and achieved their given target and got the win.  It was a big success for them.

The New Zealand batsmen had worked hard and struggle.  But the Australia batsmen achieved their target by working harder and struggling and won the match.My congratulations to the Australian team for the win and may they continue to play like this and win matches.Australia batsmen put on a brilliant display and held their heads high by achieve the big target.
What a great game from both teams! This match showed just how thrilling cricket can be when two strong teams face off. The outcome was uncertain until the very last ball. Australia's batsmen pulled off an impressive finish, reaching the big target and leaving their mark. New Zealand, however, let a few opportunities slip with a couple of dropped catches and too many wides. They can't afford such mistakes against a quality team like Australia. It's hard to win when you concede 38 runs in the last 2 overs. Hopefully, New Zealand will bounce back stronger in the next match.

Manchester City vs Beneft was an interesting game between the two teams and Manchester City luckily won by 0-1. The game was really exciting with Beneft attacking strongly but they couldn't keep the ball in Manchester City's net which could not equalize the match. Although the game was played at Manchester City's home ground, it was a great battle between the two teams from start to finish but Erling Haaland's goal in the 71st minute gave Manchester City the win and managed to collect the points. However, since Manchester City organized the match brilliantly, they occupy the second position in the points table and they have 56 points. At the moment, they would have 56 points and Liverpool's 57 points at the top of the points table. Of course, the competition between Manchester City and Liverpool will continue.
Brentford can be a competitive team when facing a strong team like Manchester City, that's why you can see Manchester City dominating the match but not being easy to score goals and like the match against Chelsea this time City was very lucky to finally be able to break the deadlock and score the only goal, a goal that gave them three points which shifted Arsenal's position temporarily.
Manchester City didn't look that great in the last two matches because they only managed to score two goals in total, but their coach factor can always bring this team back up in the next match.

Brentford made it tough for Manchester City both in the first and second half of the match. I was surprised to see that Manchester City found it difficult to enter their home because Brentford played a very defensive match. And seriously, that is what I didn't expect from Manchester City before the start of the match. I was thinking that with the current performance of Manchester City, they were going to find it easy to beat Brentford with many goals, but it later turned out to be the opposite. Although Brentford also had many chances to score, unfortunately they failed to do so, which I don't really know why in that match given that they were doing well and they didn't get weak through out the match till the 90 minutes of the match.

Despite Brentford's defensive approach, they made a crucial mistake and City capitalized on it to score. The only reason City won was because a defender slipped. Brentford put up a good fight, but unfortunately, City's goal-scoring machine proved again. +3 points are important, but City needs to start scoring more goals again. Although the wins were disappointing, perhaps Pep has a strategy in mind. There are crucial and challenging games ahead that City can't afford to lose. Based on their recent performances against Chelsea and Brentford, Pep seems to be focusing on keeping the team relaxed and fit for these important matches.
