The upcoming match between Nepal and Namibia seems a bit confusing considering the recent results of the teams. Namibia has previously beaten Nepal but Nepal impressive win against the Netherlands who had defeated Namibia adds uncertainty to the upcoming match. And you are right Nepal strong performance against the Netherlands where they chased down the target with 9 wickets in hand indicates that they are in good form and have a chance to win. So let's see what will happen today?

Fortune Barishal 12 pts out of 11 matches with 6 wins , NRR +0.434
Khulna Tigers 10 pts out of 11 matches with 5 wins, NRR -0.400

Fortune Barisal's points and net run rate are much higher than Khulna Tigers, moreover, if Khulna Tigers' points win today's match, Fortune Barisal will have a high chance of qualifying only because of net run rate. Khulna Tigers must win today and win by such a margin that Net Run Rate  overtakes Fortune Barisal.

In today's match, Chittagong Challengers batsmen are batting great with time. Bangladesh's young budding batsman Tanjid Hasan Tamim is very close to his century. He will be able to taste the first century of his T20 career if he can score just 11 more runs. Coming into this match Chittagong Challengers stumbled at the start as they lost their first wicket for just four runs but later Tanjid Hasan Tamim and Saikat Ali formed a good partnership. We all are waiting to see Tanjid Hasan Tamim's century, maybe he will play very patiently and complete his century in today's match.

I don’t understand why no one here mentions the real candidate for US President from the Republican Party - Nikki Haley, who was previously the governor of South Carolina and the US permanent representative to the UN.

Nikki Haley shares many of the same views as her rival Trump on a number of domestic policy issues, particularly on immigration and fiscal issues, but she is completely unapologetic about the intentions of many Republicans, including Trump, to soften US policy towards Russia . She considers Ukraine's victory in the war with Russia to be a guarantee of US global and national security, and criticizes her party members who call for dialogue with the Kremlin or US neutrality in this conflict.

Support for Nikki Haley has grown in recent months both in individual states and within the Washington core of the Republican Party.
Haley is a compromise for those who do not want Donald Trump to return to the White House and she has a good chance compared to the old Joe Biden, and also if Trump is removed from the election due to many criminal cases against him.

Quetta Gladiators team performing outstanding in this Pakistan super league session 9 winning both of their match. In the match against Lahore Qalandars they win it only the amazing batting performance of Khawaja Nafay what a outstanding player scored 60 runs unbeaten in just 31 balls and win match to Quetta Gladiators by 5 wickets. Khawaja Nafay ues best talents so far doscverd in this PSL 9 and he is player of the match for match winning knock.

Bazball is interesting but it cannot be applied in every matches and pitch conditions, England won the first Test because of the way they played but they failed to replicate the same performance in winning the next two matches, even in the third Test, the way Ben Duckett played was extraordinary but the rest of the batsman were not able to take advantage of the situation and they kept loosing wickets.

Yashasvi Jaiswal played one of the most incredible second innings and showed how and when they need to attack unlike Bazball, taking on James Anderson and scoring 3 consecutive sixes was extraordinary.

I have to disappoint you very much....
China is heavily dependent on the Western world. Just a couple of dependency examples:
- Sales markets. The most profitable markets (ready to buy expensive Chinese goods) are Western markets. African countries or North Korea will not buy expensive goods en masse.
- Technologies. This has already been discussed many times. China was built and fights at the expense of Western technologies, I won’t say that the entire economy, but a significant part. But most of what China supposedly “invented itself” is illegally borrowed technology, violation of patents, copyrights, and so on.
- Education. Not without reason, after China began to strain relations, one of the first “quiet” moves of the West was what? A ban on the education of Chinese citizens in higher education institutions of high technology, and restriction of access of Chinese citizens to high-tech projects in Western countries. This started during the Trump era, you can easily find information

Yes, it can be fun. I mean, I think I'll wager a dollar closer to the elections. It'll give, what, three dollars? Still it will be fun, right?

Now look Michelle Obama is the third favourite among gamblers:



I would definitely wager a dollar on her if you ask me. I'll wait a bit and maybe the multiplier for her will be over 10.00 again and then I will place my bet. She has a good chance in my opinion.

I like your post because we are about to define an entire team that only replaces Ronaldo...

Maybe Portugal should send a request to the FIFA association asking them to allow for more players on the pitch because they will soon have to replace Ronaldo.

I mean, Portugal won the European Championship in the past. In Qatar they were too unpredictable, no consistency. They lost against Morocco in the quarterfinals though, which I think can happen to any team as Morocco was this one surprise team that was about to achieve the impossible. Since they kicked out Spain in the round of 16, I think it is not a nightmare to lose against them although Portugal should have been warned.

But I agree that they should still be counted as a top team that has all chances.

I think the game between Namibia and Netherlands was exciting and Netherlands won because I think they are stronger than Namibia. Aryan Dutt did really well by taking 6 wickets. Michael Levitt and Max O'Dowd worked together in batting and helped Netherlands to win. Teamwork and great playing were important in the cricket game. Well done to the Netherlands team for winning.

Of course, England batsmen should prove their best in the fourth test match so that they can score good runs and bowl well against India.

Afghanistan team might be having a bad time in every recent series against Sri Lanka. Not only in the second match of the T20 series but also against Sri Lanka, the Afghanistan team has performed poorly in every match. As a result, the Afghanistan team was not able to win the ODI series, the Test series or even one of the two matches of the T20 series. The Afghanistan team has already whitewashed the ODI series and even the Test series too. There is one more match left in the T20 series i.e. if the Afghanistan team fails to beat Sri Lanka in the third T20 match then Afghanistan will be whitewashed in the T20 series as well.

Afghanistan usually lost the match in the first T20 match due to their mistakes and in the end due to nervous pressure. Only 13 runs were to be collected in the last two overs where the equation was very easy but Naveen-ul-Haq could not save himself in  Pathirana's ball defensive mood and got bowled out directly and created a hundred percent chance of losing the match. Moreover, Ibrahim Zardan missed several runs as he could not hit the big hit in the last over, which is why Afghanistan suffered a four-run defeat in the first match.

The younger players are inconsistent now, but they might improve and perform way more consistently in the future. Also, Pant might return too which would be a big boost.

Nepal team is much better then Netherlands that why Nepal won that match 9 wickets. Nepal team chase down the target easily 141 runs in loss of 1 wicket in just 15.2 overs. The Player of the Match is Kushal Bhurtel from Nepal for his all round performance in bowling they picked 4 wickets by giving 20 runa in 7 overs. Kushal Bhurtel also batting well scored 28 runs from just 11 balls and win match with huge wickets.

If cricket is not played by the local players of a country then the game of cricket is not very attractive. We are seeing more of this practice in some countries in recent times. I have mentioned earlier where I felt that the ICC may have continued such an effort as countries that did not like cricket but they became enthusiastic about cricket. I am very optimistic about some of the new teams, Nepal being one of them. Who has improved a lot in cricket in a short period of time. If they participate in the World Cup, they will gain more experience and their cricket will improve.

India is looking comfortable on the day 03 of the Rajkot test. They lead by 332 runs and still they have 8 wickets left in the 2nd innings. I think the Indian team will have to decide as to when they will declare this innings. I guess they will love to give a lead of 450 runs and declare the innings somewhere after the lunch and before the tea break and this will give them a little over 4 sessions to bowl the England team out.

Yashasvi Jaiswal was looking good but he had to retired hurt at 104 runs. Since then Shubman Gill has taken the role to keep the innings smooth but today I guess the intentions on the Indian batsmen would be to play hard at the ball and make as many runs as possible using fewer balls. They may tend to play the innings as a T20 one and not a test match one. By the way, Shubman Gill was out on a duck in the first innings, so maybe that's the reason he is playing cautiously here in the 2nd innings.

Poms are sprinting and deserve a lot of credit for such positive batting and it'd be no surprise if they manage to wipe out all deficits in the next 50 overs.

Having said that, the last 5 overs showed a bit of sign that this attacking beast can be tamed. Rohit just needs to be proactive with their field settings and bowlers must follow the instruction.

Rohit took a page from Stoke's playbook and set a heavy leg side field and Siraj went with the short ball tactics and in the same over they managed to manufacture a wicket, similar to what England did. India needs more of that, even if they go for runs.

Yes you are right Nepal performance in the match against Namibia was not good. They only scored 132 runs in 42 overs which shows that they were not very good at batting. Namibia played very well and won the game by 4 wickets. Gerhard Erasmus was the best player he took five wickets for only 28 runs. Nepal should think about how they batted and try to get better for future games. They need to look at their weaknesses and make changes so that they have a better chance of winning in the next matches.

Afif batted aggressively today like in previous matches. He was unbeaten with 43 runs off 21 balls. As a result of Afif's aggressive batting, the Khulna Tigers team reached the target of victory in just 15.2 overs.

As a result of the win in this match, Khulna is now fourth in the table. But if Chattogram Challengers can win their next match then Khulna team will lose the fourth place in the table. If Khulna wants to qualify for the next round, they need to win the next two matches against Chattogram and Sylhet. If these two matches are able to win by a big margin, Khulna team will probably qualify for the next round.
