There is nothing wrong in Pakistan women batting today. They gave a decent target of 149 runs and the main reason for this decent target was 81 runs partnership between Bismah and Maroof. Pakistan bowling was not good enough to defend 149 runs, the bowlers keep giving runs and were not able to pick wickets. If you see India batting card then all 5 batsmen scored runs.
I think Pakistan bowlers needed to bowl better. Because 149 runs in 20 overs is not a very high target. Because of that, if the Indian batsmen could pick up wickets early, the Pakistan team could have secured the victory in the match. But Pakistan bowlers failed to do that. |

It will be a shocked to see Elche defeat Real Madrid, if it happens it is a sign to tell Real Madrid can't win laliga this season . Dip down in me I don't believe Elche will have advantage of Real madrid to win. Elche is at the bottom of the standings with last position, I have doubt to see Real Madrid lose this game. Real Madrid needs to fixed up their performance back , so as to continue the competition with an impressive result. LOL, isn't losing and winning normal for any team? I don't think it's impossible to expect Elche to beat Real Madrid, but it's definitely hard to imagine because Elche is the last team in the standings at the moment. So try to be calm because Real Madrid will very easily get 3 points in this match even if they are not in their best form recently. I'm just sure that Elche will lose by a high score because Real Madrid will definitely try to get high goals stats instead of just winning. 3 to 4 goals can be expected, and this is a good opportunity to get a bet. I also think Real Madrid to use this game to improve their stats,Elche is clearly the worst team of La Liga this season and most likely a surprise result won't happen to Real this time.If it does it means that Real chances to get the title for this season will be shuttered for good and their only focus will be on the Champions League this time. I think that Real has not quit from their fight for the title though and in this game we can expect a lot of goals,Elche defense is vulnerable and they have conceded many goals so at least over 3.5 goals would be an ideal bet in this game. I think Real Madrid deserve to win the La Liga title so far. Because Real Madrid's style of play is different from any other team. They are able to bring back the performance of the team at any moment during the game. |

Barcelona have a number of options in vital positions in the team like in the attacking wings, in the absence of Usman Dembele, Raphinha is available as a replacement for Dembele which gives some level of relief to Xavi as he will not worry much about finding a replacement for Dembele. Manchester United on the other hand are lucky that Casemiro will be available for the first leg meeting against Barcelona and with Eriksen's absence, Sabitzer will fill in and give United some balance in the midfield.
Even though both teams will be minus several players who are absent due to injury, it seems that this is not a problem for the two coaches and they have anticipated this well. The first leg match will take place in a week, of course both barcelona and manchester united must keep their players fit for the match later and I hope that in this week's match in their respective regular leagues, no players will be injured again for both teams. both teams have the same problem. and the match between the two in the first leg can be very difficult to predict. Barca also lost several players, as well as United who were already struggling against Leeds because several players in their main squad were absent. although both trainers could say everything was fine. but I'm sure, now they are fighting to make the right strategy and composition of players. True, both Erik ten hag and Xavi will definitely prepare the best strategy for the first leg match later, but again Barcelona will get the opportunity to host first and the support flowing from the Blaugranes will pump up the enthusiasm of the Barcelona players. I think Xavi has to anticipate Marcus Rashford's movements because in several Manchester United matches he is very consistent in scoring goals in every regular league match and does not rule out the possibility that he will score again against Barcelona later. This is Barcelona's home match. And considering only the home match I consider Barcelona as favourites. In fact I find my Barcelona and Manchester United squads equally strong. However, Barcelona is stronger in home matches. Barcelona are hard to beat at the Camp Nou. However, the recent performances of both the teams are quite good. The players of both the teams are confident now. We should be ready to see any results. Barcelona team is currently performing one of the best. The coach of the team is Xavi, who has brought the team to this stage with one of the talents. Manchester United is a strong team though. However, Barcelona's current performances certainly qualify them to beat Manchester United. |

The odds on Chelsea's win is 2.2 against West Ham... Although Chelsea are not in great form at the moment, they have not lost their last games... I think you can take a chance and bet on their win today because West Ham are not very good either, although they played 1-1 away against Newcastle in their last match... I'm in favour of Chelsea today...
No, no, no. I'm confident enough West Ham will win in this match because Chelsea is still struggling with their new players. Just check the Chelsea's starting line up, the strikers are: Havertz, Mudryk and Ziyech, all of them are bad strikers. The last match against Fulham, both Havertz and Mudryk were not able to score any goal even though they're get a lot chances from Enzo Fernandez and Mason Mount. West Ham have better performance than Chelsea even though West Ham position is almost in degradation zone. I agree with you that Chelsea have problems with the team, but still Fulham are now deservedly above them in the standings... And West Ham are on the verge of relegation zone... I wouldn't be surprised if this game is a draw, but I think Chelsea have a better chance of winning than West Ham... Despite the huge motivation of the home side... We'll soon find out which of us is right...  I also agree with you. Although Chelsea are in no form, they still have the ability to beat West Ham. But on the other hand, West Ham have some players who can make things happen. The match will be quite good in that respect. |

Looking at the statistics for their matches in the last 5 matches, it actually still looks the same, but indeed in this case we cannot rule out the big name PSG.
On the other hand, what might be a problem for PSG is Monaco with its good record. coupled with their condition that they are still missing several players, it will obviously be very influential for them in the match.
Facing Marseille they should be able to set an example in this match because if indeed they are still disorganized when Mbappe and Messi are not present in the match then they really need other options in order to make a breakthrough.
The match against Monaco will be indicative, we will see what PSG are capable of without Mbappe and Messi. Monaco are showing good results and they will definitely fight for a place in the Champions League, especially since they have already managed to take points from PSG in the fourth round. PSG are still a very strong team even with losses, but I think that Galtier is starting to lose confidence, let's see how he will act in this situation. Firstly Monaco is in very good form right now. And they can play well against any big team. Secondly, I don't think the PSG team is strong without Mbappe and Messi. PSG is a mediocre team without these two players. I think Monaco will win today's match. The match is not important for PSG. If Monaco's attack can play a bit better, they will win. Perhaps PSG will decide to play a defensive strategy in this match as well. Mbappe and Messi are injured. PSG team is going to face some great problems in the upcoming matches. I think the team's attack will be unbalanced. In fact, the coach of the PSG team is repeatedly failing to find out the exact problem of the team. |

I don't think PSG's loss against Marseille in the Coupe de France was unexpected. I indicated it before the match started as well. Marseille really had an opportunity ahead to eliminate the toughest rival in the tournament and they took it. I really appreciated Marseille's solid effort in that match and I believe it was a well-deserved win. Neymar - Messi duo couldn't play exactly in the way they wanted. If this duo were more productive then maybe the result would have been different.
Now we see there is a Monaco v PSG match in the league this time. The winning odds are nearly the same - 2.68 to 2.64. I even see Monaco being favourite by a slight margin on some websites. The odds made me a little surprised though so I'll go on with both teams to score instead.
Yes, it's quite strange to see such odds of PSG against the 4th team of France. Even with injuries to Mbappe and Messi, PSG should be the clear favorite. It may be assumed that PSG will put up a reserve squad for this game in general, as it will save energy before the game with Bayern. It is quite logical since nothing threatens the position of PSG in the championship. The coach of PSG team has some great mistakes. Because I think there are some great players in the team but he is failing to organize the eleven with them. If this team was under a different coach, we might have seen something great. |

Among the several matches today, two of them quite caught my attention. West Ham vs Chelsea and Arsenal vs Brentford are the matches I mean. Chelsea and Arsenal need win after losing points to Everton and Fulham in the previous matches. So it will definitely be very interesting to see whether the two teams are able to maximize this match for 3 points or maybe they will still drop points from their opponents.
Brentford is in very good form when they travel to the Emirates Stadium, while West Ham with draw will host Chelsea at their home ground. I think Arsenal are unlikely to drop points in this match, but West Ham is not very convincing.
Brentford team play good football. They have been able to secure victory in most of the matches. The team players are taking great responsibility and taking the team forward. Brentford will have a great match with Arsenal. |

The probability that Arsenal loses tomorrow's game against Brentford is quite minimal. If they lose yet another game, it will be clear that they are not prepared to hold the title of Premier League Champions for this year. They are aware of what would be at risk for them if they lost against Brentford. They won't be as fortunate this time around as they were last week to see Manchester City lose their match as they did to Everton. They will get to see how Manchester City will overpower them to lift the PL title again if they lose other of their matches by mistake.
Arsenal will not lose to the Brentford team, Arsenal will provide resistance and it is likely that they will take advantage of the opportunity in this match to score lots of goals in order to get additional points that can make them even further away from the second position from the top of the standings so that Arsenal will remain safe in first place until the end of this league. Arsenal will play to win in order to keep their title hope going because any result apart from 3 points for Arsenal will bring a big problem for the team because they will no longer have the motivation as seen since the beginning of the season. They have the advantage because they are playing at home and they need to utilize the opportunity to be ahead of the City with more points and get their fans the hope of believing in them again after losing last week against the Everton team in the league and against Manchester City in the cup game. This game will determine the chances of Arsenal winning the league with ease or struggle. Arsenal's match today will be easy. Because Arsenal is a much more experienced team than the opposition. Besides, the team is currently performing quite well. The result of the game could be 2-0. |

I mean, Brazil is the only team in the world that has qualified to every single World Cup in history. Also, they have won it five times, the current record. Plus, they are at number one in the FIFA ranking today. Yeah, I think they'll manage  There is no dearth of talent in Brazil. Even for the 2022 Qatar edition, they were the bookmaker's favorites by a long distance. But then, one mistake during the knockout phases can result in the team failing to qualify for the next round. And this time it was Croatia, which surprised Brazil during the quarter-finals stage. BTW, Argentina has only failed to qualify just once. That was in 1970, when Peru and Bolivia finished ahead of them in CONMEBOL qualifiers Group 1. Peru, Brazil and Uruguay qualified during that year from CONMEBOL. Brazil is a strong team in football and they won the trophy multiple times, in this world cup they got unlucky during penalty shootout and we know all know penalty shootout is total about luck and Croatia got lucky with their strikes . Argentina and Brazil both are the strongest teams of all times. Brazil is a very strong team. But luck did not help them in the 2022 World Cup. Still the team's players played the wrong game due to which they did not do well in the World Cup. But the 2026 World Cup Brazil team will prove themselves in a big way how strong they are. |

Messi's current interview suggests he may not play in the next World Cup. In fact, this year's World Cup was organized historically. And witnessing this historic event, Messi's Argentina made history and secured the World Cup. Lionel Messi is now complete in all aspects.
Lionel Messi is very satisfied with his achievements so far in football, he has won almost all competitions either in the league or in international competition with Argentina. So even if he retires later everyone will always remember the historical moment about him. But the 2022 world cup is the pinnacle of his career and with that I think he is done. Right now we are in 2023 and the 2026 world cup starts in 4 years, which is far away, and Lionel Messi is 35 years old. He indeed got reach many achievements with many teams while playing for Argentina and the clubs he was paying there but playing at age of 39-38 in the world cup is not something many players can reach even the most professional players can't perform like the early years and mostly these players prefer to retire before everyone sees them playing for poor performance level compared to other times and I guess Lionel Messi is one these players. You are absolutely correct, Messi have achieved everything that is achievable in football, and so is Ronaldo as well, I personally can not find any reason why they should still be in the field of play by the age of 39 upwards, it is better to retire so as to give the younger players the breathing space to prove themselves, like I said in my previous comment, they can not play forever, even if they want to, so it is better for them to give themselves rest while the younger seize the opportunity to show what they are capable of. I doubt if Messi and Ronaldo will be able to participate in the next world cup. Even we call see the effect of age in their performance, expecially that of Ronaldo. In the very next four years their performance will be very terrible. They have done enough and achieved enough, the best thing is to retire. These are the common comments that are made after the World Cup 2022 and I know this got a point because at 40 years old, there is indeed a lot of change from the player's body that would highly affect its performance and worse, the play of the whole team as this sport requires a team play and not just by one player who will carry them towards the win. But we shouldn't also forget that these are mere speculations and will remain as speculations as of now because only Messi and CR7 can answer those questions for us if we will see them in the next WC or not. Ronaldo is 37 right now and in 2026 he'll be 40+ so his participation is a question as his performance and fitness will be different than now. They participate or not they have already given too much to football world . The way they played , there achievements they are remarkable and whatever world says they both are the goats of football world. I understand your point but considering the fact that both Ronaldo and Messi haven't released a statement yet, then there is still a chance that they will play in the next WC. Right? All of these are mere speculations and we're just trying to weigh the chances if they will or they won't. Just like Ronaldo, we all thought that UEFA will be his last dance but right now, that's almost impossible as he's now with Al Nassr. In fact, I feel very sad that we might not see living legends like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo at the 2026 World Cup. No one can really stop age. Everyone loses to age one day. |

I think if Lionel Messi had gone to another club instead of PSG, his football career would have gone much further by now. Because I think Lionel Messi could never show his best in PSG. Lionel Messi leaving PSG and joining other clubs is really the demand of time. |

There are only four days left for the Champions League to restart. One of the first games is going to be Milan - Tottenham.
Milan are favoured for the win but the odd gap is quite slight at the same time. Besides Milan are having really bad days lately. There is a huge level of drop especially in their defensive performance. We see them losing so many points and conceding many more goals than the normal level. This can be a big problem for them before the Tottenham game. Tottenham seem like they are getting the advantage to their side slowly. Because unlike Milan, they are in a better condition. Tottenham are already favoured to advance to next round of course.
I think they have a pretty good chance to win in San Siro also.
The Milan team needs a lot of progress. Some of Milan's problems are being noticed from all sides of the team. I think some players in the team need to be changed. Besides, the game strategy needs to be changed, one of the responsibilities of which can be played by the coach of the team. |

Although I feel the match may not be fair as players like sadio Mane is back from injuries after a long break and now PSG players are going into injury as the would be without top players like Leonel Messi and kylian Mbappe.
The game may not be as exciting as we expect, PSG will be just another regular team for Bayern without Messi, Mbappe and Neymar. PSG has always had a better attack and relied on it more, but if they will play without their first choice attackers, I doubt that they will be able to do much against Bayern in the first leg. I believe Messi will somehow be able to play, even if not the whole game but I fear that he will not be able to do much since he will be managing his injury and will be without assistance from any other young player, the kind of assistance that Mbappe provided. I think the PSG team is pretty stagnant without Messi-Neymar Mbappe. At least one of the three stars needs to be on the team. Then the team will be somewhat stronger. PSG team is already in disarray and if three attacking players are not playing then the situation of the team will be very bad. |

The meetings between Liverpool and Madrid always don't go well. They met in the last 2 times in the Champions League final but the results were very disappointing for Liverpool. Their condition when compared to the last few seasons is clearly worse than before so it is indeed a little complicated for the club.
I still feel that Madrid will qualify for this phase no matter what and it could be a bad ending for Klopp at Liverpool if indeed this season they have to fail in all competitions.
If the condition of the Liverpool team itself does not experience significant changes or improvements before the round of 16 matches in the Champions League begins, it seems that there is no better hope for Liverpool than to just accept the reality that will happen and Real Madrid clearly have greater potential to qualify for the next round. Because with Liverpool's current condition, the Liverpool team has more potential to return home and won't last long in the Champions League this season. If in rough language, maybe I would say what can we expect from Liverpool's appearance now? They are very different from the team we knew last season, and it even seems like this is a different team even though most of them still have the same players even with the same coach. Jurgen Klopp will definitely be the first to be blamed for a Liverpool performance like this. The matches in the Champions League will be tough, especially with the opponents they will face as big as Real Madrid. If Liverpool and Real Madrid meet, Real Madrid will have more chances to win. Because some of Liverpool's matches have disappointed fans. Real Madrid on the other hand disappointed but they bounced back brilliantly. But the match will be strong. |

After Kylian Mbappe who had to be absent due to injury in the match against Bayern Munich in the first leg of the UCL playoffs, now it's Lionel Messi's turn to be doubtful for that match due to a hamstring injury against Marseille in the Coupe de France yesterday. It seems that this is bad news for all PSG supporters and of course the PSG squad will not appear at full strength against Bayern Munich in the first leg later. Galtier must be very dizzy watching his players get injured one by one and there seems to be no doubt that Bayern Munich's victory in the first leg is in sight.
If this condition is true, then indeed this will be even more difficult and even their chances have been confirmed to be closed in my opinion for this season's Champions League. Even though there are still some good players there, the absence of Messi and Mbappe will clearly be a real scourge and indeed this will definitely make it more difficult for them. Don't know what Nasser Al-Khelaifi will do if this season they fail again in the last 16 phase mbappe's absence from the XI against Bayern Munich will be very bad for the PSG team. Because hopefully that match will be full of great competition. As a result, PSG will need Mbappe to achieve good things. But in my mind Mbappe's absence will have some adverse effect on the team. |

HT: Mallorca 1-0 Real Madrid
Mallorca won 1-0 over Real Madrid in the first round, Dani Rodriguez managed to send a cross that hit the head of Real Madrid defender, So that the first goal was created for the Mallorca. Surprisingly Mallorca was actually able to take advantage of opportunities in the first half and scored one goal. Ancelotti's men must immediately equalize in the second half, if they do not want to experience disappointing results at home to Mallorca, moreover Real Madrid need points in the match this time to stay in competition with Barcelona in first place in the standings.
So far, Real Madrid has not been able to create opportunities, even though Real Madrid has dominated possession and the game is still quite dominant. Without the presence of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, Real Madrid still had quite a hard time keeping up with the midfield and there weren't many measurable passes that their attackers could take advantage of.
Mallorca trailed Real Madrid 1-0 at the end of the first half. Real Madrid will want to make a strong comeback in the second half. But I think Mallorca will play defensively in the second half. |

Today Mallorca vs Real Madrid match is going to start after some time. I hope to enjoy a very interesting match between these two teams. But it is getting difficult to predict which team will win this match. Because of these two teams. Even if one of the teams is normal, how they will play in today's match can't be said before the game. However, in this match, I hope that maybe the chance of a draw is very small, but maybe we will see a hard fought game. Real Madrid is a very strong team. We all know.
Mallorca, which lost against Cadiz before may not be better today to get points because the opponent is Real Madrid, this is the most difficult match for the home team. Also Mallorca in the last two matches against Real Madrid lost very bad, so Im sure that Mallorca will not be able to get points in this match, although there are several important Real Madrid players are absent but Ancelotti can definitely to manage it. this will be a difficult game for Mallorca. even though Madrid was without Benzema up front. Rodrygo and Vinicius are very dangerous up front for Madrid. I just hope that Malorca will not be beaten by Madrid too much in this fight. even though playing at home, at least there is a bigger chance for Madrid to win. and this would be a good point to catch up on points. Real Madrid trailed 1-0 at the end of the first half. I was really disappointed with Real Madrid's performance in the first half. But hopefully they will come back in the second half. |

Erik Ten Hag by now is one step ahead towards creating a strong wall of defense against Barcelona in order not to allow a chance of penetration from their forward players, just like Dembele and Lewandowski who are very dangerous when allowed to break into a defensive line. Their matchup with each other came at a very early time but watching the game now when the two teams are in top form makes it more intriguing to watch.
Dembele will not be playing against MU during the continuation of europa league for the match between MU against Barcelona. Raphinha will be replacing dembele and i believe raphinha is far garbage compared with dembele. MU's defenders will able to protect rapinha easily while the problem is now Lewandowski. I think mu needs to learn from the play style that has used by bayern against Barcelona. intermilan was also showing good play about how to prevent Barcelona. Dembele will not be a threat for MU caused by be will absent from the game against MU. Im so happy to see that one of main player from Barcelona won't play. You forgot something. Barcelona still has Gavi, Pedri and De Jong. Xavi, knows very well that he will not always rely solely on Dembele let alone Raphina. let's see, how Xavi has learned from his failure in the Champions League. plus, his defeat against Madrid in the first meeting of La Liga. At least currently, Barcelona are a bit more settled in terms of games after the second half of the season rolled back. Barcelona appear quite consistent with a stable performance. even in his 19 matches in the Domestic League, Barcelona only conceded seven goals. the bonds of the players are starting to show positive signals, especially their midfield players who are starting to show maturity. and how it was when Barcelona toppled Real Madrid in the supercopa de espana final. it is clear that Barcelona is starting to find its rhythm, especially De Jong's role as a pivot. So, the fight will be very difficult for United. plus, Eriksen's absence will have a big impact in the match later. IMO, in the end this fight depends on how the two coaches apply their strategies and prepare their respective teams. Barcelona's team has become truly extraordinary these days. Xavi has worked hard to build the team . All the young midfielders in the Barcelona team who are doing great. One of them is Pedri, Gavi. I see the future of these two players very good. |

What someone learnt in the youthful age cannot be forgotten easily in the old age. In as much as Messi is still playing football he can always and he will always score wonderful goals.
Psg may likely seem that they are better than Bayern Munich for now but there is a spirit that comes with champions league and when that spirit comes the game will move to another level of vibration.
Yes, that's what we often see in competitions with a higher level. teams that don't look so good in the League can also do very well in the Champions League. they have an extraordinary motivation to perform better. but in the case of PSG and Munich, I think it's different. these two are a strong team. whatever the current conditions, I believe both of them will still show their best playing quality. Munich lost a goalkeeper and PSG lost a striker. the fight will still be fine I think, and will still be fun. Hopefully the two clubs that will compete will be able to give their best performance, because I can honestly say I'm worried that one of these two clubs will have unexpected problems. Paris Saint Germain and Bayern Munich are unmistakably strong clubs in the Champions League, they are even predicted to be the favorite of the other favorites in the last 16. I believe the motivation of these two clubs is very big, moreover they really want to win in order to advance to the next round in the Champions League this season. We will witness a very hot match. No one really knows when the PSG team will perform well in the Champions League. PSG's performance in the Champions League is lacking and other smaller teams are ahead of them in terms of performance. Personally so far I think PSG is the best club for Ligue 1. |

Hakimi and Messi scored legendary goals today, these were no ordinary goals. Messi's goal has become like automation now and he can still score at this age. PSG looks better against Bayern Munich for now no matter what anyone says, because they have a great talent pool. One of the players is in form in any match and by scoring an extra goal completely differentiates the result like the goals scored today. He has a lot of positive things in the champions league.
Messi has become a savior for PSG from getting draw again. I meant messi's goal was making the club can save three points from toulouse. There was another problem was coming for PSG. It seems like that mbappe has been forcing PSG to buy bernardo silva from manchester city. Messi will be gone soon and it seems like that mbappe was giving PSG a suggestion for a player to replace messi in PSG. We will not see messi again in the french league. Not only Messi is a savior to his club, but also to his country. Leo has scored a number of superb goals for both club and country this season. As things stand, Lionel Messi's contract expires at the end of the season, so we won't see him again in the French league. I think he shouldn't renew because of the way he was treated. Despite the absence of Mbappe-Neymar. Messi has been able to perform brilliantly. PSG was able to get a remarkable victory through Messi's goal. Lionel Messi is a living legend. I think he will record like this till the end of his career. |
