I do not agree with you about the factors and comparing Qatar with America, we know getting a visa to enter the USA is more complicated, especially for people from some countries with a bad reputation and bad relations with the USA but I think America will make an exception and some special rules for the people who come to visit this country for watching the worth cup games. That's why I don't think if there will be a problem with getting a visa.

Since the beginning of the energy crisis, I knew that we were going to see some businesses going down to their closure in Europe. But I first assumed that those companies were going to have something to do with the importation and refining of natural gas.

Nonetheless, after giving a look to the massive increase of the electricity in Europe, specially during the coldest days of last Winter. I would not be surprised if those companies had nothing to do with energy and yet could not pay their operative costs, and electricity bill.   

It is sad when people who have no say on political matters, gets affected this way.

The way Mumbai started their innings, I don't think they will lose this match. LSG collected only 35 runs in 6 overs of the powerplay, while Mumbai collected 58 runs without losing a wicket. After 10 overs, LSG collected only 68 runs. Mumbai's collection was 92 runs. But even then there was a slump in Mumbai's batting. Mumbai collected only 1 run in the 13th over. This is one of the reasons for Mumbai's defeat. Despite having plenty of experienced batsmen in the squad, Mumbai lost the match by just 5 runs. Nehal Wadhera got out after collecting only 16 runs off 20 balls. Batting like that stupidly makes it difficult to win the match.

Rohit is not doing that badly as an opener. He made an okay contribution with the bat in BGT against Australia and all of those runs came in tough pitches, not flat decks. Also don't forget that series (except the last match) was low scoring series for everyone.

Again i don't think we have a backup of Pujara yet unless management moves Gill to down the order. Changes in the squad will follow soon, just give it time, it's bound to happen in a year or so.

The 178-run target looked like a target of 200-plus runs for MI. The last two overs by LSG and the failure of SKY, according to me, were the reasons why MI lost to LSG. The last over by Mohsin Khan was outstanding. Tim David and Cameron Green were a big disappointment whereas Marcus Stoinis and Pandya were the reasons why LSG was able to get 178 runs on a tough pitch for batting.

Well, can you refute this article, because it is also based on facts? It seems not, and you are not even going to do it, it is easier for you to reject the article in its entirety and say that it is custom-made. This is a reliable sign that you are politically engaged and are in a bubble of pro-Western propaganda.

You can list "facts" as much as you like that there are some difficulties in Russia. Of course they are. Such a huge and complex economy cannot simply be turned from west to south and east at the snap of a finger without some difficulties and overlaps. But the main thing has already happened - instead of falling apart and begging the West for mercy, the Russian economy has withstood the sanctions strike and is even showing growth. Try to disprove this fact.  

Last over need 11 runs to win but Cameron Green and Tim David batting history.
19.1 faced by C. Green , no run , Why didn't he collect a single run and give a strike to Tim David?
19.2 faced by Green, 1 run.
19.3 faced by Tim David, Mumbai Indians could have won today's match if he had not taken this single run and stayed on strike.
19.4 faced by Green, No run, no words can consoled Funs of MI.
19.5 faced by Green , single, worthless single..
19.6 faced by Tim David, 2 runs and already defeated by 5 runs ...

I agree that Croatia aren't one of the teams to be underestimated at all. First of all it is true that they haven't been much successful in Euro tournaments recently. They couldn't even get past 1/8-finals twice in the most recent tournaments. However their performance in the recent two World Cups has been very impressive. First the finale and this time semi finals.

With the player pool they have it isn't impossible for them to have a good success in a Euro tournament also finally. There are really skilled Croatian players now and my expectation level from them has increased by their nice work in the latest World Cup.

They just need to break a leg finally by Euro 2024. They have the potential to play for the finale.

It's good news for the game of cricket as now we have too many countries are interested in franchise cricket specially which are economically strong because this will help them and also few other boards which will be able to send their players here in these leagues for experience and money as well but sadly here we have one issue we have no luxury like soccer as too many leagues can go through once and all have equal fanbase even this is possible but surely going to take good time.

MCA is surely doing good, and they can do much better than many countries but here I want they try to have support from few other regional countries as well which will create good interest in this region like they have Southeast Asian games franchise like this surely can help them better financially with fanbase could be also huge.

FACTS again:
1. India is the largest buyer of the oil of the terrorist country, Urals brand.

2. Yes, China has recently increased its purchases a little, but India, as it has been, has remained the most important buyer of oil from the country of the terrorist.

3. India trades with Russia (as part of the world show "de-dollarization"  ) in Indian rupees, which is not the first time the "fraternal people of Russia" squeals You can deny the reality, but done between Russia and India go in Indian rupees, between Russia and China - in Chinese yuan. Without Russia's right to exchange them for the dollars she critically needs!

4. Yes, the Indian government buys oil for a penny and sells it to its people at the market price, "I was talking about this

Agreed, the team that were able to reach 100 runs in the 11^th over unable to score another 77 runs in 56 balls is really poor batting performance. Simple, the team is much depending on few players. I haven't gone into the statistics, but in most of the Matches in which Suryakumar Yadav played well is a win for Mumbai Indians. Today even with the best batsmen on the crease and unable to win scoring 11 runs in the last over is a big disappointment for the Mumbai Indians team supporters.

It's the other way around. Trump is afraid of DeSantis.

Trump is on the offense against DeSantis because he knows that DeSantis is the type of conservative Trump aspired to be and failed at. Biden is a senile vegetable and should not have even come close to winning against an incumbent like Trump. As with most matters, Trump shot himself in the foot and Biden won (the MSM propaganda didn't help, but I digress).

If we are to take polling into account (and betting markets if that's your thing), DeSantis is the person that would beat Biden.

Totally disappointed by Mumbai indians batsmen(Cameron) in last over as this was must win for MI to qualify for Playoff. The start was so good and i was thinking that MI will easily win this match. Ishan and Rohit contributed well to give a stunning start to their team and david also. unfortunately Surya did not scored. If he faced more than 20 balls then he has ability to score fast runs and my favorite batsmen for t20 format. MI should now win next match or they will be out from playoff because RCB are looking in great foam and Runrate is better than MI. If they win their next match then both team points will be level.

They should if they want to extend their test career for a couple of more years, it's more important for Rohit. Virat is fit so he can still go on.

If money and their commitment to their franchise are a concern then they can play IPL and there is no problem at all but almost everyone rightly believes that young blood should chip in the national white ball setup. Having said that i hope BCCI takes these 2 guys into confidence and talk, unlike the Gangully-Kohli drama.

I don't understand this love for Trump at all, makes no sense to me. As we all know Trump could go out all by himself, no questions, no debate, just him, and he would still lose votes when he does that, that is exactly what happened when he was the president.

When he got elected, that was a lot of people not wanting to vote for Hillary, that was the main reason, people who would normally vote for the democrat candidate, didn't went out to vote for Hillary. After Trump got elected, people saw their mistake and a record breaking number of people voted for Biden, you think that was because Biden was good? Of course Biden is not good, of course he can't put two sentences back to back that makes sense, he sucks, but people hate Trump more than they like Biden, that's the key. How could someone not see that?

In fact, despite all the problems, I believe that in terms of security, Qatar is much better than the United States, Canada and Mexico.
But even so, I believe that this is the least of the problems that could prevent tourists from going to watch the 2026 World Cup games in person.

The main factors that could make this difficult, I still believe are:

• The money: Even believing that it will be cheaper than the Qatar Cup, this is still a privilege for few people in the world;
• The visa: Unlike Qatar, it is much more complicated to get a visa to enter the USA, which will host most of the games, not to mention that citizens of certain countries are prohibited from entering there... they cannot even apply of the process.
• The culture of the country: The United States has a bad reputation in many countries or religions, something that will certainly prevent much of the world from visiting them.

There was a zero chance of Ireland defeating Bangladesh. Bangladesh is a good team in ODI cricket. They were excellent in the second match and okay in the last match, as per my understanding. While Ireland were playing at home and had a little advantage, I felt they were somewhat overconfident in the second match due to their performance in the Test series. When they realized Bangladesh is too good in ODI, they gave a good fight in the last match.

It was clear to me that Ireland wouldn't be able to defeat Bangladesh. That is why I did not view it as I, and almost everyone, is busy watching IPL.

We have good fight in both ODI from the Ireland which is good sign for team which is new and trying to have good impact on their performance, but this is not easy because it needs more practice and good number of matches which will bring good quality and spirit of fight for them as well.

In these both ODI we have good fight, and they lost narrowly which is also good because Bangladesh is also now having good experience and can fight hard until last ball which is surely going to have good results for them in near future as well now it's all on ICC how they manage to create more opportunities for these teams to have more international matches and improve their quality level which create good entertainment for cricket fans in future.

I'd prefer if Virat and Rohit take official retirement from T-20 and ODI (After WC) and focused on Test cricket and IPL.
