How do you handle a team like Bangladesh finishing their first innings with just 163 runs in 43 overs? Seven overs were shortened due to rain but I don't think just 163 in 43 overs is a good score against a team like Afghanistan. Many people are optimistic about the current team of Bangladesh in the upcoming World Cup. But if Bangladesh becomes such a failure in batting in such a preparatory match before the World Cup, then the trust that people have built in this team will be broken.
The batsmen of Bangladesh could not stand in front of the whirlwind of Rashid Khan and Mujibur Rahman. In a short time, Afghanistan will go into bat to chase the target of 164 runs given by Bangladesh. Afghanistan will win this match by a big margin.
Bangladesh have faced Afghanistan in an ODI match after almost a long time. But today, Bangladesh came after seeing a very bad performance on the first day. Bangladesh lost 4 wickets before completing 104 runs, this kind of game is not enough for an ODI match, but such a bad performance in their own home ground is never expected from Bangladesh. Especially Tawhid Hridoy collected 51 runs which is the highest run score by Bangladesh players. In a unique match, Nazmul Hasan Shanto and many others performed very well, but all of them had to leave the field in a short run while facing Afghanistan. Meanwhile, Afghanistan is showing a very good performance as the first opening batsman fell 1 wicket for 55 runs. If the bowling performance of Bangladesh can improve a little bit, Afghanistan will definitely be able to arrest the victory.
Afghanistan bowlers put up a great performance and restricted Bangladesh just only 169 runs. Hridoy was the only shining star for Bangladesh, as no batters were able to make any impact with their bats. Bad news is rain interrupted the match and DLS target for Afghanistan set at 164 runs. Before the rain performing, Afghan batters on fire with their bats. It looks like an easy win for Afghanistan. I feel disappointed with the Bangladeshi bowlers, as they failed to make any significant role in this match. Bangladesh's performance in the first ODI turn out extremely poor.
The score was not big and the same time rain shows danger signal for the Bangladesh team both of the sides doesn't favor Bangladesh team even though Bangladesh is more stronger team in ODI cricket than Afganistan. Lost the first match in the 3-match ODI series Afghanistan team won by 17 runs on DLS method. Bangladeshi batsmen could not show their ability to Afghanistan bowlers except Towhid Hridoy. Afghanistan's Fazalhaq Farooqi contributed the most in this match along with Rashid Khan who also fell some important wickets.

The pitch was somewhat pace bowling friendly. But even then Bangladesh had no chance of winning after being given a target of just 170 runs. Afghanistan batsmen have batted very responsibly. Since the target was very low, they just tried to stay at the crease. However, due to rain, it became easier for Afghanistan to win this match. Afghanistan will play 3 ODIs and two T20 matches in this tour. And so Bangladesh still has the possibility of winning the series.
Whatever might be the scenario it is really bad to score 169/9 against Afghanistan team. Also it is the home ground, which means the home team should be good enough to play any condition in the ground. Bangladesh team have completely failed, atleast they could've scored 200+ runs. Towhid Hridoy stood wicket and scored at the right time, if not the match would've gone even worse. Rain had favoured Afghanistan, but the Afghanistan team is really good with their performance. More two matches left, which could still be a series winning opportunity for Bangladesh. Afghanistan lacks experience, but this time they performed really well without getting into hard hitting plans.

The second T20 match have been won by England Women and they've leveled the series. This makes the third T20 match more interesting. Australia Women have won the toss and decided to bowl. The top order performed well and the same helped England Women reach good score. Danni Wyatt scored 76 runs from 46 balls which is really big and this made England Women set a target of 186/9.

Australia Women started well chasing the target. In between there was some lag and scoring got interrupted. In the last five overs the performance from Australia made everyone stunned as they were close to win. At the end Australia lost the match by 3 runs losing 8 wickets. Ellyse is good till the finish scoring 51* of 27 balls. The last T20 to be played in two days break. Lets see who gonna win the series.

Did anyone notice, In this Spirit of the game controversy no one from England's side talking about lagging 0-2 in the Ashes?  

Be it Media, Pundits or Fans, literally no discussion on how Bazball rolled over and lost the plot in the first 2 matches and too at home. In contrast, I remember how brutally Aussie media reacted when they lost 2 consecutive home series against India and I can imagine what would happen if India manage to lose 2 back to back matches on their home turf.

Having said that i'd still like to see them doubling down on an aggressive approach and in this process i am okay with both results be it 0-5 for Aussie or 3-2 for England.

Now, this is something that the England fans probably forgot to do. They really need to remind the England players that they have to perform better. England has been very dependent on a few players a little too much lately. England will have to improve their performance. And probably England has to realize that Australia currently has a better and in-form team compared to England. So it will obviously be hard for England to beat them.

Australia is leading the test series and now it is going to be really hard for England to win this series. Winning three matches in a row is obviously going to be a tough ask for England. And the way they are performing right now, I don’t think it is going to happen.

The test series this time will be won by Australia, because first two test matches were real opportunities for England. Small errors in the match and the miscalculation costed them big. The third match which is a must win for England makes them under pressure while Australia will be very cool to play the rest of the Matches. This makes England in have decline in performance, which once again favour Australia.

      Based on the scheduling the championship should've got over by now. I don't know how far it is true, but there were news that the tournament have got conducted in a private region which isn't disclosed. The event that has been scheduled for six weeks have come to an end with some fight between the participants and the organizers. Anyhow this isn't a needed one, entertainment have gone beyond the limits. Whatever standard have been set, this can't be considered as a sport in my view.
      566  Economy / Economics / Re: To Hodl or Lend: What is your take? on: July 03, 2023, 11:34:05 PM
      Lending do not guarantee profits especially if the one you trusted to lend your bitcoin suddenly became insolvent that makes him unable to pay. So the risk to lose your bitcoin becomes high instead of just hodling your bitcoin until it reaches your target price to sell. That’s the consequence of impatient people, those who only want to have quick profits and end up lose everything they have.
      This is one thing to get scared about with these platforms. If you dwell into the history of these bitcoin lending platforms, you'll see that many of them eventually reported filed bankruptcy.

      Having that impression with them will make you turn away from any of these types of services even if there's such a promising return upon payment with interest.

      Holding isn't going to give you headache at all unless you're too impatient.
      When you're prepared to take risk, then you can risk the funds. Lending through trusted services were good, but the interest were very low whereas the same on our own could give better interest, but to gain trust and do the service is a big thing.

      When you're ready to lend, better take a step to learn trading which have got the ability to give you better earning. Here also there is risk, but the risk will give you some learning.

      Holding is the best choice, but here we can't expect to enjoy profit or an earning on the regular basis. It could take weeks, months and even years. Depending on the growth will be the profit. However the risk is zero as we have our holding.
      567  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have you, or would you ever use a Bitcoin ATM? on: July 03, 2023, 05:42:06 AM

      Bangladesh usually sees what its neighboring countries are doing and what technology they are using. India already legalized Bitcoin with a 30% tax (Which is ridiculous) on profit. Yet Bangladesh did not think about Bitcoin yet. Maybe we won't be able to see the legalization of Bitcoin in Bangladesh. But good luck to the next generation!
      Our neighboring country India where Bitcoin is legalized with 30% tax and their political and economic conditions are much better than Bangladesh. Although they legalized Bitcoin at 30% tax but the political and economic condition of our Bangladesh is so bad that it is not possible to legalize Bitcoin even at 70% tax here. If the government of Bangladesh legalizes Bitcoin, its country and banking system will be in dire straits, never legalize it.



      Since there is no acceptance of Bitcoin in Bangladesh especially by the government, there is no system to install Bitcoin ATMs in the country. However, I searched on Google and saw that there is no Bitcoin ATM here.
      India have got 30% tax on gains. Along with it there is a 4% cess and on trading there is 1% tds. Thats a huge money, apart the bitcoin ATMs charge a hefty fee of 15-20% which makes buy/sell using bitcoin ATM very expensive compared to what's been charged on exchanges. I haven't used Bitcoin ATMs, maybe installing bitcoin ATM is profitable.

      These are extreme level of madness. Here it have moved to the level of kidnapping his own grandson. With majority of the gamblers similar is the situation, but it stands within the family by promises. They could've promised to their closer ones not to gamble, but out of addiction they won't be able to control themselves. This causes problems within the family.

      The old person doesn't have any choice, here the common gamblers have got more choices to arrange money to spend. If not, even the common gamblers into these kind of activities isn't a big surprise.

      What surprises me to some extent is great performance by the US players on grass. Eubanks wins Mallorca (on grass), Tommy Paul reaches Eastbourne final (on grass), Madison Keys wins the Eastbourne WTA title (guess the surface  Grin ) Is it some kind of a new trend and Wimbledon will be won by a US player this year?  Grin
      Wimbledon Title winner from USA is no surprise, because a big list of players are into the tournament. For now we can expect Isner, Fritz, Shelton, Tiafoe, Korda reach the next round. Anyhow everything is a prediction and we'll know the reality only when the match is being played. Apart it is the tournament for which majority where training for a long. So, the hard competence can move the matches in any direction.

      Final day of the second test have begun. The winning probability of England have narrowed. Lucky Stokes, fingers raised and he went for the review on the lbw from Starc. More 233 runs required to win the match, and England shouldn't lose wickets. Looks like an easy win match for Australia, however the wickets of Duckett and Stokes will decide the result. Lets wait for the next few hours for the outcome.

      Nothing can be said about fate of this match unless Stokes is there on the crease. Australia are favorite at the moment but cant rule out England chances of winning this game until Stokes get out. Bairstow can also bat. The top four wickets fell for just 45 runs and that's the prime reason why England are in trouble at the moment. Still 75 mor overs to go and it will be difficult for England to draw this game, best is to go after the run chase rather then blocking the balls.
      Jonny Bairstow run out , Jonny Bairstow was run out after scoring a personal 10 runs. England team depended a lot on this pair (Ben Stokes + Jonny Bairstow) but Jonny Bairstow was run out and England team was in great danger.
      Stuart Board has just come on the pitch and if he can provide good partnership with Ben Stokes then England team can get some good positives. With only the first session of the fifth day nearing its end, England will have to go through two more sessions apart from this session. If England can bat in a defensive mood then there is a possibility of a draw or a win. On the other hand, if the Australian team can take two more wickets including the wicket of Ben Stokes in this session, Australia will surely win.
      Unwanted wicket. He should've been careful. If he had contributed good runs the match could've gone more close by now. England could've gained confidence to reach the target. Now the match will be won by Australia at the border by small run difference. Stokes is trying hard, but we can't expect things to be on the better side for longer time period. England's tail order isn't strong as that of the Australian team.

      CWC Qualifier 2023 - UAE vs Nepal

      Nepal have won the toss and decided to bowl.
      The match looks slow scoring as the runrate is around 4rpo.
      The team could reach the score of 200 - 210 runs as Nepal have reached 150/4 in 39 overs.
      Mustafa and Hameed on the crease could score good runs if they were able to score a half century.
      Sandeep Lamichhane have bowled 8 overs allowing just 19 runs.
      If Nepal restrict the target within 220 runs, they can chase the target without much of pressure.

      There needs to be specific age in which things were taught. They need to ask to us by their own which gets well printed in their minds. This could happen when bitcoin is showed in any of the cartoons. We need to give the kid's required space and the success relies on it.

      It is too early to say that he will indeed retire from his national team for good and will not play anymore in the upcoming world cup tournament, and will just give his focus in his current team which is the Inter-Miami while spending some more time with his family in the US.

      I mean, it is not really the first time where Messi said that he will retire and if I recall it correctly, he said the same thing after the disappointment loss against Chile in the Copa America in 2016.
      We shouldn't be judgemental on his retirement. During the year 2016 he announced the retirement after the loss against Chile as he missed a penalty. From the incident itself we can understand the reason for which he had announced the retirement. More 7 years played and he'll be more mature enough and won't easily end up in a simple manner. He is well and good at the moment, more three years is really a big question and the answer can be known only as by that time and we shouldn't be judgemental now itself.

      The first session wickets will be the deciding factor in today's play. If England were able to take few quick wickets the pressure can move on to Australia. If this doesn't take place, then England will be in struggle. For now both the teams are in similar position, with Australia having little upper hands on the match. Both the batsmen on the crease were the best and have supported Australia win more matches. Everyday there'll be some changes in the pitch and England made a big mistake in the previous match by declaring earlier in the first innings. This time no spin bowling will make them feel bad at the end of the match.
      After Aussies were bowl out for 279 there were chances that England might chase this target but they had a terrible start of 2nd innings. With 4 wickets gone down, England are once again set to lose the match. Aussie pacers Starc and Cummins have done a good job by picking 2 wickets each. There are still 24 more over to be bowled today and we might have a conclusion of this match today.

      English batsmen's performance has become very boring to watch. England also batted badly in the second innings of the first Test match. And England's top order failed today too. England lost 4 important wickets for just 45 runs. The team is batting with a huge target of 371 runs. England still needs 292 runs. Ben Stokes and Ben Duckett are now batting. Both are very experienced batsmen. If this pair does not play well, England is going to lose badly in this match as well.
      Both were doing their best at the moment. Duckett have reached his half century and continuing. On the other side Stokes is scoring well. The opening looked boring, now it looks like the team have come back to the form. England batsman have understood defensive play will lead to loss of wickets. Better is to play as if like playing ODI. Duckett have scored 50* of 66 and Stokes 28* of 57 balls.

      -snip

      I'm going today with the seeded player as I would say Joca97 is too! he's not a bad
      price @ 1.68 on Rollbit but Eubanks is close at 2.2

      I will put something on Eubanks, IMO, they have similar chances to win, and Eubanks pays much better
      @1.67 seems to be a bit low for Mannarino win, he is not a grass player, and I would not be surprised to see him losing this match

      maybe Eubanks to win set, on similar odds is even better bet, but I would probably go with his win

      Cerundolo reached final, although not being favorized by bookies, thinking to put him to win as well, but Paul seems as better pick, not sure

      Well im going with Mannarino again to win the whole thing. He has experience like i said behind him and Eubanks just reached his first ever atp final. Plus currently odd dropped on Mannarino from 1.70 to 1.55 and this means that a lot of people are betting on him. Eubanks needs to hold his good serve if he loses it once he will lose the set for sure. Maybe over games should come in this match.
      Eubanks leads the match 1-0 as the first set is won 6-1. The odds of Mannarino have increased @3.50, who have been thinking of betting on Mannarino and missed it can choose to bet now. Eubanks seems dominant from the very first point of the match.

      I think Poms are pulling back nicely, they might have a real shot if they wrap Aussie's tail cheaply and they are 1 batter short i suppose because Lyon is injured and won't be able to bat.
      Nathan Lyon came out to bat and it is a matter of time that England fold their innings but the target right now is 355 runs plus the runs they will be able to add in the last wicket and Australia will be bowling the bouncers just like the England bowlers and it is not an easy target to get in the final innings. With the attacking game if the openers give them a good start then it will be interesting.
      In the first innings England scored 325 runs. The team had good start, and the bottom order failed to score. Maybe if they've added little more runs the total could've reached around 380 runs. The last five wickets contributed just 65 runs. Australia have set a target of 370 runs, and we can expect this match to be more fighting. Solid performance from few players with centuries would make the target reachable.

      I usually set 10% of my monthly salary for gambling and I split it for four weeks which mean I only gamble 2.5% every week. I don't set any time before I gamble, I will gamble when I'm free until my bankroll empty. But if I'm lucky and I win some money, I will use that money for gambling in the next month. If I won a big amount money, I would withdraw it immediately after I met the minimum wagering requirement.
      Setting a limit and getting fixed to it is really good. Myself have the limit, but the urge to win the lost amount keeps me active throughout the month. During the first week I use the payment for gambling and I loss it. Further I used to wait for the second week's payment and wager to recover the loss and stop.

      Things won't be in favour of us and ends in loss. This is the gambling pattern of mine, and at times I've also won and cashed out bitcoin to have fun. I don't have the habit of holding it for the next month's gambling need.
