Very crucial third ODI between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh to start in a few hours from now. Bangladesh has already won the series, but winning this match is a necessity for Sri Lanka as they are without any points so far in the ODI Super League. There is no need for alarm yet, as they have plenty of matches remaining. But is will be good for Sri Lanka to get at least one win from this series, as their next matches in the league are against very strong teams (India and England).
Sri Lanka is playing well in the last ODI match. They won the toss and choose to bat first. After 23 overs, they able to collect 131 runs by losing only 2 wicket. I think Sri Lanka will collect more than 280 runs today. And 280 runs is enough to beat Bangladesh if Sri Lankan bowlers can perform well. End of 45 overs, Srilanka has scored 247 runs losing 5 wickets. I expect the score to be close to 300 by the end of the innings. If 300 is touched, then Sri Lanka will make a comfortable winning. There will be home ground advantage for Bangladesh, but during the second innings the pitch scenario used to change. This advantage needs to be used by the Sri Lankan bowlers. Sri Lanka has collected as I expected. They have collected 286 runs. And I said this collection will be enough to defeat Bangladesh. At the end of 27 overs, Bangladesh scored only 103 runs. Bangladesh lost 4 wickets. At the moment I do not see any possibility of Bangladesh winning this match. This was a giveaway match. It seems Bangladeshi players were least interested in playing the last match of the series. They were all out at 189, I never expected them to lose in such a manner. They were not even able to reach 200, zero effort displayed in the last match. I think it too, that Bangladeshi players have given less importance to this match. However, such a batting disaster in Bangladesh is nothing new. Still, I thought Bangladesh would score at least 200 runs. However, Bangladesh won the series 2-1, which is a big achievement for them. |

Koeman has worked hard and I think the results from his first season is acceptable. Fans want to win as many titles as possible but in the last summer, I did not believe that Barcelona will be able to win any title in this season.
They won Coppa del Rey and want to win La Liga. They should be realistic with what they have and how they began this season.
When Koeman took charge of Barcelona, at the start of the season, Barcelona was a team that was completely upset. There was no coordination between the players. Koeman has stabilized the team enough. Aguero has joined Barcelona this season. As a result, one more experienced player has grown in Barcelona's forward lineup. If Koeman is able to make Barcelona's defense a little stronger, Barcelona will be unstoppable next season. I agree. Acceptable. I'm still personally not super convinced about Koeman but I believe that we all need to exercise patience with a manager and allow him to have his strategy in place. Look at Pep look at Klopp and learn the lessons of successful clubs at England. Barca have been in need of a rehaul since a long time now so we might as well do it with the Dutch national hero. If we have patience and believe in Koeman, I think he will be able to organize the Barcelona team more beautifully. But Koeman should look at the small mistakes of the team. Barcelona have lost many matches against weaker teams due to their own mistakes. In addition to organizing the team properly, the players also need to correct such small mistakes. |

A few days back, there was a statement from the ECB which made it clear that they will not make any adjustments to their schedule, in order to accomodate the IPL. Now this is going to create a lot of issues for the BCCI. What they are going to do now? Are they going to ask the ICC to postpone the T20 World Cup? I don't think that the ICC guys will be very excited with this. Because the World Cup was already postponed once, in order to accomodate IPL 2020. Also, should a franchise league be given a higher priority, when compared to a global event?
I do not think ICC would.postpone the Worldcup. This is an international event and one board cannot change the schedule. IPL has to be postponed further, the franchise will suffer but nothing can be done. You may have forgotten about last year's T20 World Cup. The BCCI indirectly tried their best not to host the T20 World Cup just to hold the IPL. And in the end, the T20 World Cup was not held because of covid 19. But at the same time the IPL was held and players from almost all countries of the world participated in the IPL. |

Manchester City have a great defense lineup. They have world-class midfields like De Breuyne. Moreover, they have experienced players like Aguero, Jesus, Sterling and Riyad Mehrez in their squad. Most importantly, Pep Guuardiola is in charge of Manchester City. There are very few experienced coaches like Guardiola. I think Manchester City will win the Champions League title.
Man City have better motivation and confidence when compared to Chelsea, becoming the EPL champion will probably make them playing all out to double their trophy this season. Guardiola is also one of the coaches who have successfully won the UCL, I think the opportunities are better at Man City. As for Chelsea, this is their last chance to get a trophy, after failing in the FA Cup. However, back to the UEL results, it is possible that the winner is not predicted win before. Almost everyone favor Manchester City to win and that makes sense because they have a good match record so far but this is final strategy can change the end result Just like in UEFA yesterday, Man United failed to get a trophy well this could happen in the CL final 0-0 and finally determined with a penalties. It is very difficult to predict who will win if in a penalties. Of course, in all statistics, Manchester City is far ahead of Chelsea. But if Chelsea wins the Champions League, there is nothing to be surprised about. We all have to admit that Chelsea is a good enough and strong team. Tuchel's match strategy is different, resulting in Chelsea performing exceptionally well against strong teams. If Manchester City want to win the title, all their players must play well from their position. Otherwise they won't be able to beat Chelsea. |

I don't think Manchester City has good defenders. They are good but not at top notch, world-class level.
Don't you have a world-class defense? They have one of the best central defenders to play in England, Ruben Dias. In addition, he was even considered one of the best players in the Premier League. They have a good defensive line. It is true that the strength of Man City is the midfield, but he has a good defense. Manchester City have a great defense lineup. They have world-class midfields like De Breuyne. Moreover, they have experienced players like Aguero, Jesus, Sterling and Riyad Mehrez in their squad. Most importantly, Pep Guuardiola is in charge of Manchester City. There are very few experienced coaches like Guardiola. I think Manchester City will win the Champions League title. |

Ronald Koeman situation with Barcelona still not looking good.
< snip >
After a year, and with a different administration, Koeman himself is not desirable to continue, but he may continue in the event that no alternative is found within the next two weeks, according to Radio Catalonia .
Koeman has worked hard and I think the results from his first season is acceptable. Fans want to win as many titles as possible but in the last summer, I did not believe that Barcelona will be able to win any title in this season. They won Coppa del Rey and want to win La Liga.

I also want him to stay for a couple of seasons. Maybe he will be able to build a new team, provided that Perez can buy a pair. good players. Real Madrid will have to change a lot.
The news about Zidane's departure I think will be a problem for Madrid. Even as a fan I didn't want him to leave. Because many media have reported that he will leave after this season is over. Real Madrid management deserve to keep it. The best thing is to sit down together and brainstorm what will make him stay in Madrid. I hope management is able to hold it, for another 1 or 2 years. As long as he is still productive for the team he should be kept. So far, rumors are rife that Zidane is leaving Real Madrid. Neither Real Madrid nor Zidane have said anything about this topic yet. If he really leaves, Real Madrid will face terrible problems now. At the moment they will not get an experienced coach like Zidane. Maybe Real Madrid needs to find an experienced coach like Zidane, if they can't, they need to make their squad more stronger. Otherwise, Real Madrid will not be able to win any title next season. |

Harry Kane has a long way to go because he is still under 30 so of course, leaving Tottenham is the right decision. Whichever team takes him away I'm just sure it's a big European team, so I'll just wait for the exact news later but if it's true Kane will go to Real Madrid, of course it's a great opportunity for Kane to get better with Madrid.
If Harry Kane goes to Real Madrid, it will be good for both Kane and Madrid. This will reduce the reliance on Benzema in the Real Madrid team. As a result, Real Madrid's performance will be further improved. On the other hand, Kane needs a good squad to express himself more and win the title. For Kane, Real Madrid would be the best choice. |

They are ranked below Bangladesh in ODI ranking and below Afganistan in T20. This was the same team that has won ODI worldcup. There are so many legendary players in Srilankan cricket and now you won't find a single player playing the IPL. Such a decline can only happen if the board is corrupt and incompetent.
They won the ODI World Cup 25 years ago.. many of the players from that squad are in their 50s and 60s now. Perhaps the squad of 1996 was the best that Sri Lanka ever produced, as it had their best players. To name a few, Muttiah Muralitharan, Chaminda Vaas, Sanath Jayasuriya, Romesh Kaluwitharana, Aravinda de Silva, Arjuna Ranatunga and Roshan Mahanama were present in that squad. These players retired after a few years and the downward spiral of Lankan cricket started almost immediately after that. Sri Lanka was a world-class team when players like Sangakara, Jaywardhane, Dilshan, and Malinga were in the Sri Lankan squad. They were able to defeat any strong team. Sri Lankan cricket is in such dire straits now that these players have retired together. The Sri Lanka Cricket Board could not find their replacement. There are no experienced players in the squad now. I think if this squad plays with Afghanistan, Sri Lanka will also lose. |

This would be intresting franchise greeting sued by players for not paying their salaries. Eventually the franchise will pay the due amount but for 10 years they were able to avoid those payments. Thanks to BCCI and incompetent members this was possible.
Looks like the BCCI had other important priorities. I am not a big fan of the BCCI. They are too greedy and never bother about the players or the sport itself. The players are just treated as money making machines, without any sort of respect. And IPL remains the cash cow of the BCCI. An estimate in one of the leading newspapers estimated that the BCCI makes $1 billion every year from the IPL. If they spent 0.1% of that amount, this issue could have been resolved and the players would not be facing bankruptcy. BCCI always thinks about its own financial matters. Last year, just to make the IPL happen, they prevented the T20 World Cup from taking place. In the midst of such a horrible covid situation in India this year, they hosted the IPL. BCCI could have donated some money to the Government of India for this covid situation. |

Amazing counter attack from Mushfiqur Rahim. Bangladesh made a total of 246, after being reduced to 184/7 at one point. Rahim added valuable runs with the lower order, with Mohammad Saifuddin giving plenty of support. The 8th wicket partnership added 48 runs and that might have saved the match for Bangladesh. But it needs to be seen whether the match can be completed, as the weather prediction is not looking good.
Bangladesh scored 247 runs, enough to win on this pitch. And it seems that Bangladesh will win easily. The Sri Lankans lost 4 valuable wickets for only 85 runs. And 23 overs are already over. Bangladesh will win this match too, but I am not satisfied with the batting of Bangladesh batsmen. There are very few batsmen to perform regularly in the Bangladesh team. You are right, Bangladesh batsmen are not regular. Players like Liton Das are not able to help the team much, yet they are being given a chance to be in the squad. Despite not performing as expected by the Bangladeshi batsmen, the Bangladeshi bowlers are bowling well enough. Sri Lanka lost 5 wickets for 89 runs. I do not see any chance for Sri Lanka to win this match. |

People are no longer affected by his influence. I thought he might be bitcoin friendly but my guess turned out to be wrong. This Dogefather was the main culprit behind the unusual crash in the Bitcoin market. There is no financial support behind this Dogecoin shit coin, the price of this coin has been increased only by creating FUD by tweeting. Both Dogefather and Dogecoin should be boycotted.

Users who invested at the dip will be now enjoying the profit.
This is the dip right now, dip has not been gone away... There is something good for those who can be patient, The market always rewards those investors who have patience. Naturally, I suggest anyone to buy at Bounce. But today's bounce is different, I think it is the perfect time for new investors to open a long position, if you aren't able to take the advantage of this dump then I'm damn sure that you have to buy at high again. usually, fools are buy high and sell at dip. |

Damn, I just saw that Napoli did not beat Verona. I was looking at their score and after they went 1-0 up, I thought that was it.
Huge blow to their further development and what a gift to Juventus, with all the problems they are facing CL qualification will help tremendously. Without it they would have to sell Ronaldo for sure.
Few mistakes and couldn't defend after a 1-0 hit in the 60th minute. Juventus have to start again well at the start of the season and CL is one of the good tickets after the failure this season, but indeed I don't want Ronaldo to leave and hear rumors that Ronaldo is already preparing to leave and his personal car has been transport to it cargo car is this a sign that Ronaldo will leave from Juventus. There was no continuity between Juventus' performances this season. Moreover, they did not perform well. They are more dependent on Ronaldo. They need to reduce this dependence and all players need to have a good play mentality from their own position. And the team needs some change within. The defense needs to be strengthened. |

Sakib Al Hasan has great interest everywhere on the world, so make him happy the way he can. Team BAN are so much dependent on Shakib Al Hasan, they could barely put any significant effort on the field. BAN suppose one of the most improved cricket team over last 4-5 yeas, but BAN only could perform well under the presence those 3-4 senior players in the team. All the time seniors are become lead performer in Bangladesh. Our concern is when will the juniors take the lead role?
In order to produce quality young players, first you need to have a good domestic structure. As of now, the domestic cricket in Bangladesh is a joke. The BCB focuses more on the Dhaka based clubs, rather than investing their money in the outer regions. A complete revamp is needed for the domestic 4-day competition (National Cricket League). One solution would be to increase the number of tours by the Bangladesh A team. But the cricket board has once again failed in this regard. Domestic matches under the BCB are not very developed. Moreover, BCB has many internal problems. Players like Imrul Kayes and Anamul Haque have consistently performed well in domestic league matches but are not being given a chance in the national team. Liton and Mithun are not successful in the national team, yet they are included in the squad for almost all of their matches. |

I kinda feel sorry for Leicester, Chelsea even gave them a chance but they missed the CL spot again in the last game. Still, a good season for them, although this has to hurt.
I watched that game and Leicester really did played well until the second goal which totally break it all down. Guess it was all or nothing after that since CL spot was on the line. Also Spurs planned out well to bring out pacy players like Bale and Moura and take a good charge on counter at the last moment and it did paid out well. Yeah feel sorry for Leicester but they have developed a lot in these years and to me it feels like another big club inthe making. Leicester played very well at the start of the season. But in the end they lost a lot of points. If we consider their last 5 matches, we can see that they have lost 11 points in the last 5 matches. Had they not performed so poorly in the last few matches, they would have been in the top four in the points table. |

Is there anyone watching the match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. It looks like a win for Bangladesh. Srilanka has already lost six wickets. Now they're in need of more 114 runs with seventeen overs left. If this turns to be a win for Bangladesh there'll be an announcement of national holiday, because a national holiday was announced earlier when Bangladesh defeated India.  We still don't know whether the remaining matches will go ahead as scheduled or not. Earlier today, three members of the Sri Lankan contingent had tested positive for COVID 19, and the Lankans were blaming the BCB for providing inadequate quarantine facilities for their bio-secure bubble. Now it is learnt that two of those who had tested positive have returned negative tests, and the remaining member was infected with COVID earlier. BCB is claiming that the earlier positive results were "false positives". I just hope that the tour is not called off. This time Asian countries were much affected by the covid-19. The series should've been rescheduled prior to today's match. Everywhere these issue with results were there. The match is getting close to the end. With more number of spread there is possible chances of the entire series to get called off. Anyhow after long gap Bangladesh is on the urge to make a win against a team in higher position than them. It's great to see match is resumed, as who tested positive tuned into negative. Both BAN and Sri Lanka fans wanted something normal to proceed with the series. Hopefully we can see tough and interesting game between this two Asian sides and the ODI series get successfully finished. Congrats Bangladesh, a very deserve victory at their 1st ODI. Mushfiqur Rahim the named as player of the Match. After a long time, Bangladesh team won a match. As far as I remember, Bangladesh did not win any of their last 9 matches. Bangladesh is always strong in their own field. No matter how strong the opposing team is, Bangladeshi players are much more confident on their own pitch. I think Bangladesh will win their next matches against Sri Lanka |

I assumed earlier for the Bayern Munich game it would probably be a casual game that seemed unlikely to score many goals, but it was a big mistake. I regret not betting on this match, at half time Bayern Munich can lead by 4-0 and that is absolutely incredible, the never-ending enthusiasm of the players on the field is certainly a big appreciation for them.
A great match we are enjoying. The first half was completely occupied by Bayern Munich's players. But so far in the second half, FC Augsburg has scored two goals, with Augsburg scoring twice in the 67th and 71st minutes. There are 15 minutes left until the end of the match. Both teams will now play attacking football and it looks like we can enjoy many more great attacks. |
