I'm not sure which team to opt for tonight. Both squad are equally good and shit at the same time  . Also if my memory serves me well then both teams have an excellent record of choking at crucial stage. Today I chose the Delhi Capital team. But after giving a target of only 160 runs, I thought I would lose today's bet. But the performance of Delhi bowlers is very good today. No Punjab batsman has been at the crease for long. Punjab lost 7 wickets for 82 runs. Punjab's collection in 16 overs is 109/7. They need 51 runs from 24 balls to win. The match is now completely under Delhi's control. |

Definitely Indian T20I selectors are having an eye on IPL and if you said is true then Samson may be Indian new T20I captain. But I think he has a long way to go as he has played only one ODI and 13 T20I. RR are now at number 2 on points table and have made it to next round.
Samson has impressed a lot of people with his captaincy skills, but so far he has failed to be consistent with his bat. For the position as the T20 captain, he will face a lot of competition, from players such as Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant. These two are more successful at international level when compared to Samson. All that said, Samson's selection policies have been controversial. The blind faith that he puts on some of the players such as Riyan Parag is very difficult to comprehend. It has meant that talented players such as Karun Nair never gets a chance to showcase their skills. I really don't know if a player can only be selected just because he has good captaincy skills. Unless he is MS Dhoni of course. But still, MS Dhoni proved his worth with his batting and wicketkeeping. So only being a good Captain is not going to be enough if he does not perform. Eventually, the spot will be taken by some other player because people are always going to need good performers. And he has a lot of competition right now. So, it will be really hard to catch the selector's eye without having a good performance to back him up. |

Nepal is one of those unfortunate countries. They never get any real support from the ICC, and so far the BCCI has also refused to help them. And due to the fact that they are entirely dependent on native players, their performance has suffered in the recent times. With the poor training facilities and cricket infrastructure that is available in Nepal, the players just can't compete against teams such as Oman and the UAE, which are made up of former first class players from test nations such as India and Sri Lanka.
Here we can say ICC is run by BCCI is not helping Nepal because it's not good by marketing purpose, so they are not giving them any financial and other help which is the worst from these sports authorities, and we already discussed many times about this. But, I am feeling Nepal will never been good country for test they need to work on T20 or ODI formats because these both are helpful for them, and they can take some good results from here with some good and quality players already in their native team, and they produce one of best spin bowler like Lamichane which play in few franchise leagues which is good for him and his country. Now, it's time for ICC to do some better planning and changes if they want some good and quality cricket from native guys in all teams. If any new team wants to play cricket at the top level it's better if they start giving importance to the t20 format because the test format is obviously a lot more skill dependent meanwhile t20 is the least skill dependent cricket format. So it will be easier to get used to the t20 format for the newer players. You know, ICC is obviously not going to do too much for the newer teams. so, they have to figure it out themselves because the bigger teams who have good power in ICC are also not going to help themselves. |

Robert Lewandowski was alone at the top of the top scorers standings by 35 goals. And I assume that he is the player who scored the most goals in this season among all European leagues. He definitely deserves the award for that. Maybe he is getting older now but it still doesn't affect his performance badly. This must be enough to show how qualified player he is really. He is one of the most important players in football history already I believe.
Robert Lewandowski keep as top scorer on Bundesliga with 35 goals in this season, I think no doubt with Robert Lewandowski reputation how scoring goals on every match with Bayern Munich. But have bad rumors with Robert Lewandowski leaving Bayern Munich in this season after not get deal contract values with Bayern, how ever he still one year left with Bayern where his contract over on 2023 but depending with Bayern Munich will give chance for him keep staying until contract over or sell to other club after Barcelona confirmed interested with Robert Lewandowski. Lewandowski's only opponent this season was Haaland. But he was sidelined for several matches due to an injury in the middle of the season. Although he was with the squad after that, his performance was poor. I don't think Lewandowski will leave Bayern Munich at the moment. He is now 33 years old. Although he is a great player, his fitness is excellent. Yet it is doubtful whether he will be able to maintain his form if he joins the new league at the moment. But I will be happy if he takes on a new challenge. Barcelona could be the right place for him. |

With the responsible batting of Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal, Sri Lanka now has 296 runs. Mathews scored 135 runs and Chandimal 51 runs. The Bangladesh team lacks experienced bowlers. Taijul and Shakib are the key bowlers today. However, the Sri Lankan players are dealing with these two bowlers very carefully. Shakib bowled 26 overs, gave only 41 runs, and got 1 wicket. Taizul took 1 wicket with 80 runs in 36 overs.
I do not understand why Bangladeshi management has put pace bowlers in the squad. Two pace bowlers bowled only 30 overs out of 108 overs. The pitch was spin-friendly, and the Bangladeshi management was concerned about the importance of the spinners in the team.

Considering how difficult it is to bat second, i am expecting Rajasthan Royals to win the match. Marcus Stoinis and Jason Holder is their main stay and if RR is able to break those partnership then it is a game for RR to win.
The match would have been competitive if the two Lucknow openers had batted responsibly. But the match was completely one-sided. The bowlers of the Rajasthan Royals are controlling the match. An experienced batsman like KL Rahul has collected only 10 runs off 19 balls. Lucknow could not return to the truck in this match due to not being able to play well in the power play. |

In today's match between Chennai and Gujarat, I chose the Gujarat team to place the bet. Although Dhoni is now the captain of Chennai, there is no continuity in the performance of the players. Gujarat could have won very easily.
In the match between Lucknow and Rajasthan, I expected the Lucknow team to win. But it does not look like Lucknow will be able to win today. Though Rajasthan set a target of only 179 runs, Lucknow's top order was not able to play well. Lucknow lost 3 wickets in 8.3 overs and collected only 53 runs.

KKR VS SRH
I think the Kolkata team is the favorite in today's match. The main reason for this is that the teams batting first at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium are getting some extra advantage and the teams batting in the second inning, they are facing a lot of trouble to scores. Even in the last match on this ground, a team like Lucknow lost all the wickets by only 82 runs. If today's Kolkata can deliver a target of 170-180, then their chances of winning are 90%. I think so.

Dortmund 0-1 Hertha Berlin
About 9 matches are being played in Bundesliga at the same time. I am enjoying the match of Dortmund vs Hertha Berlin. The match is not important for Dortmund but it is very important for Hertha. If they can get full points in this match, they will be able to get out of the relegation zone. Interestingly, Hertha Berlin is leading 1-0, and Dortmund's players have yet to make an attack. They did not make a single shot at the goal post in these 35 minutes. The match will probably be a draw or Hertha will win today.

Roma should easily beat Venice today, they need a win to secure their place in the EL and not worry about the outcome of the final CL. Because Roma still have the CL final where they will play with Feenoord, and Roma have a very good chance of winning this match, Feenoord is not the most dangerous team. Venice needs to be beaten because Atalanta and Fiorentina are on a par.
Venezia is the weakest team in the league. But Roma is in very bad form now. They could not win the last 4 matches. Performance is now quite weak. However, if they want to stay in the fifth or sixth position of the table, Roma will have to win either way in the last two matches. Winning against Venezia will not be difficult. However, if they lose points in the last two games, Roma will still fail to qualify for the conference league. |

It is not too slim actually. Because Arsenal are still one point ahead of them in the end. But it is the truth that their job is going to be more difficult now. Because Arsenal's remaining games are more difficult to win than Tottenham's. Arsenal are going to face Newcastle and Everton. And Tottenham's competitors are going to be Burnley and Norwich. Arsenal will need to have one of their best performances. Otherwise, Tottenham would benefit from it nicely.
Newcastle and Everton are strong opponents for Arsenal. Of course, Arsenal will have to win these two matches by performing well. But why do you think Tottenham's opponent is weak? Burnley may have won just 7 matches this season. But they have won 3 of the last 4 matches. I don't see any reason to think this team is weak now. However, Tottenham may easily win against Norwich |

Darwin Nunez has showed impressive performance with Benfica and during this season he has score 34 goals in all competitions and it makes Chelsea and Man Utd tempting to get him from Benfica and before that Nunez actually linked to several clubs such as Madrid or Liverpool but seems these only remain rumour because both of teams has refuse this news and now new rumours has been appears again that Chelsea and Man Utd will be the most serious clubs who want to get him
He is a young prospect and is going to be very useful for any team in the future so it is not going to be surprised if these big teams actually want him in their squad. As far as I am hearing Barcelona have agreed with Manchester United for Frenkie de Jong transfer. and Manchester United are looking to get Darwin Núñez in their team also.

Well, at least his new club will surely want him to add up quickly because they did play €51 million for him. I think that money is well worth and very well spent in my opinion. I actually agree that Manchester City fans should not go too much from him in the first season but I know that the fans are going to expect a lot.
If he gets around him good players that will fit his playing style he will be get into the playing fast in Manchester City. There also will be a big and more pressure to him as in Dortmund and the next thing is what will be happen if gets again injured. And to be honest we all expect a lot from Haaland now in Manchester or ? With a high price and high salary, of course it will make haalaand quite burdened with carrying a big responsibility on his shoulders next season, I think it's difficult to say if Haalaand will be able to show his best performance at Manchester City as he is still at Dortmund, because in my opinion the competition in the league England is very tight compared to the Bundesliga, so far Haalaand has been able to show their best performance because they only face relatively weaker teams in bundesliga, while Premier League clubs are mostly strong teams who also have almost equal squad quality. @Lafu, Yes, that is one thing that he will surely need for him to start early in Manchester city. And I really think that Manchester city has that kind of player who will be able to act as the enabler for Erling Haaland. Honestly, I think people will expect a lot of things from him but the expectation is not going to be as much as people expected from a €100 million transfer  . So, I think he can chill a little. |

Based on the transfermarkt the transfer value is 54 million not 70 million, Haaland was the 2nd best player in the Bundesliga after Lewandowski But after entering the Premier League he will find tight competition We know that at least every team has a mainstay player who is equivalent to haaland Soon we will see whether the transfer value is equivalent to his ability in the Premier League which is full of rivals. Sometime players are unable to show their best in new team and league, hopefully he can adapt with the new team and new league well. He is great in Bundesliga but it is not a guarantee that he will be the same in Premier League. City's fans should not hope too much in his first season, they should give him longer time to prove that he is a worth investment. However, a direct great performance in 1st season will be a bonus for City and fans. I think he will be able to prove himself even in the English Premier League. I understand that the competition is going to be a lot harder but I believe he is a player who can adapt pretty quickly. Well, at least his new club will surely want him to add up quickly because they did pay ~€51 million for him. I think that money is well worth and very well spent in my opinion. I actually agree that Manchester City fans should not go too much from him in the first season but I know that the fans are going to expect a lot. Based on the transfermarkt the transfer value is 54 million not 70 million. Well, on the bright side at least he was not a €100 million transfer  . |

Bielefeld are going to be in search of a miracle this week in the Bundesliga. Because they need many different things to happen not to relegate from this league. They have to win against Leipzig in the first place and this seems to be near impossible to me. Because Leipzig also need to secure the fourth place for the Champions League. It looks like Stuttgart are playing play-out games to stay or drop from here.
Bielefeld has no chance. A team that has not been able to score points throughout the year cannot earn points this week. Leipzig is a very strong team that wants to finish the league in the top 3 and will not lose points this week. Bielefeld will try their luck for the last time this week to get out of the relegation zone, but I don't think they can score points Leipzig's performance against Augsburg was outstanding. Leipzig won 4-0. They are trying their best to secure a ticket to the Champions League. Since Leipzig is only 2 points ahead of Freiburg, so Leipzig needs to win all subsequent matches. Leipzig looks set to win against Arminia. Arminia is a weak team, who is in the relegation zone. I expect at least 3 goals from Leipzig in this match. |

After leaving an incredible season behind, Ajax are the champions! They completely deserved this title first of all. PSV also did an amazing work by competing with Ajax at the same level for a very long time period. But it was until the 33rd week of the season which Ajax declared their title on. They are still on a title streak now and I wonder when a different team will change this. And for now, the potential team for it seem like PSV.
PSV continued to try until the end of the season to win the title. But they have moved away from the title after losing two head-to-head matches against Ajax. If PSV had won the home match against Ajax, there would have been a chance of winning the title. However, Ajax has maintained their dominance. Like every year, this time too they won the title. The last 4 years we have seen the same champions. |

The match between Atletico Madrid against Real Madrid was won by Atletico Madrid, the difference is 3 points for now with Real Betis, I think for this season Atletico Madrid is safe to advance to the Champions League next season, because Real Betis still has tough matches against Barcelona and Real Madrid, then if you look at Atletico's chances are much bigger
But sometimes too high expectations of Atletico don't go well which makes me still not quite sure about this. Currently, if we look at the fact that Madrid will continue to focus on giving their players a rest to be fully prepared for the Champions League final. Real Betis still have a chance even though it's difficult. I also thought that Atletico Madrid will win against Real Madrid. It was a very important match for Atletico Madrid. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for them to qualify for the Champions League. On the other hand, this is a unimportant match for Real Madrid. They are now better prepared for the Champions League final. Real Madrid did not need to win this match. |

I wonder who will win the Italian cup final tonight? I think Juventus can beat Inter to avenge their last disappointing 0-1 loss, when they played much better but never got the ball on target and Inter could only score from a penalty shoot-out. But Inter are motivated to win at least the cup tonight because they probably won't win Serie A.
This is Juventus' home match. They will try to avenge the defeat in the previous match. Although Inter Milan is strong, their performance is not very stable. A few days ago they lost against Bologna. And now Inter Milan is probably focusing more on the Serie A title. I think Juventus is the favorite for the Copa Italia title. |

What's going on with the IPL.. look at the margins for the last few matches. Yesterday also, Gujarat won with such a big margin (62 runs). Lucknow had heavyweights such as KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock, but still they failed to reach a three-digit total. Only Deepak Hooda managed to make a decent score for himself. For the Gujarat Titans, Rashid Khan was exceptional. He is back to his old form, and that is good news for his team. But at the same time, Hardik Pandya's poor form should be a concern for Gujarat.
IPL is absolutely unpredictable right now. the only thing that makes sense to me right now is that the team batting second surely gotta have some kind of disadvantage otherwise I really don't understand how these types of results are being produced. I expected a lazy to win in the last match and I was so wrong. The team which was in the top got bowled out only for 82 runs. Absolutely unexpected. |
