Something strange happened in Indian board as they somehow managed to have 55% percent of posts that receive at least 1 merit which is the highest percentage I saw so far, esepcially since their usual number is much lower and it its around 20%. It would be interesting to hear someone from that board how they managed to achieve that and is their post quality increased that much or something else caused it.
For the Indian board it all started when our only merit source Heisenberg_Hunter distributed merits in the first week of Oct after two months break and probably this is his highest numbers of merit shared if I am not wrong. This boost has given sMerits into every active members in Indian board and and the board has been a ghosted for a long and in the last few months members try to keep it active as much as we can so that we tried to encourage posts that has some contribution related to Indian crypto community.   In Jan 2023 Indian board contributed only 50 posts from that position it somehow grown to 369 in Oct. Another strange thing is Active users (atleast 1 post) : Increased from 36 to 86. |

Thanks for the encouragement, I am trying to contribute in anyway I can and feels good to know its appreciated. As mentioned we achieved 2x from the previous month stats but it should continue in the same way without the dip or else things might go wrong again. I think the best option available to us is to come up with some kind of competition within the local board to make it become the number one active board in all local boards.
Already there is Local Board Post Race which is updated by bitmover.  |

South Africa vs Australia, 2nd Semi-Final
Toss win: South Africa
Team win: South Africa
Best Batsmen: Heinrich Klaasen
Best bowler: Keshav Maharaj
The match is not going to be like yesterday's cause the condition is more likely to support bowlers so whoever bat first need to put a total of 300 then they likely to win the match. I am sure Australia team is the favorties to win but I wish the jinx of SA team could be removed today so I am gonna take that chance and go with SA.

BTW, the game is now being controlled by the New Zealand team. These two guys are batting very effectively and if they continue they might win the game against India. It would be an astounding win against a team that has not lost any game in this tournament.
No need to derail guys, please stay on topic.
Mitchel and Kane partnership brought nightmare for the whole India for a while but again thanks to the man with golden arm who dismissed Kane quickly after he dropped his catch. Now India through for the final and who they are going to meet there? SA will be much easier side to beat compared to Australia. |

Shami gets the first breakthrough for the Indian team. Devon Conway is out, caught behind by KL Rahul, an excellent catch by him. They said that the seamers won't be getting a swing look at the three seamers Indian bowlers are getting. Bumrah still struggling with the line, Shiraj was doing okaish but Shami gets the first wicket. Outstanding captaincy by Rohit Sharma, he got the right bowler at the right time. What will the Indian spinners do when they come to bowl the New Zealand batters? This game is slowly going away from the control of the New Zealand team, the next wicket would be of Rachin Ravindra. It is going to be another one-sided match. The moment India won the toss, outcome of this match was more or less certain. Among all the other teams, only Australia has the capability to defeat India at home. And most probably they will be India's opponents in the final. I am more interested in the second semi-final today, which will be played at the Eden Gardens stadium in Kolkata. It's getting really boring now. Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson are at the crease and scoring with a strike rate of around 40. Rachin has scored just 13 runs from 22 balls. And he just now got out to Mohammed Shami. Nothing over until the match over because NZ can give a tough fight and they known for such kind of attitude. Two early wickets increased the winning probability of India but don't forget the dew part which will come after 20th over then it will be difficult to control the ball by bowlers that is the phase India has to be very careful or still the target can be chased away. |

Rohit won't allow the bowlers to settle as that is what he has been doing in the last 9 matches. Shubman Gill was quite aggressive against the Netherlands in the last match and I hope he plays in the same manner today. A target of 300 or more runs will be defendable considering the form in which the Indian bowlers are bowling in this tournament.
As always, Rohit of to a flying start and took control of the powerplay overs and dominated entirely but unfortunately got out at for a slower ball but its okay cause he done the damage now players can take their time and took the match deep. Gill is now settled as well and he is due for a big ton in this world cup so today might be that day. |

India vs New Zealand, 1st Semi-Final
Toss win: India
Team win: India
Best Batsmen: Virat Kohli
Best bowler: Mohammed Shami
Lot of comparision is going on between 2019 scenario but No, India is much better than 2019 and NZ bowling unit is not strong as 2019 that is the best insight need to be considered. I am gonna watch the entire match and expecting a clean sweep from team India again. NZ always plays good as a team so India need to work hard to break that jinx against NZ and ICC events.

Even though India is exceptional and far ahead in comparing the performances and team as well but we can't take them lightly and players knew it too and 2019 incident left a permanent scar on us. Some interesting facts: 1. Richard Kettleborough is not assigned as an umpire for this match.  2. NZ only won 4 out of 20 Knockout appearances in ICC events. 3. Shreyas has become highest run scorer in WC at no.4 position surpassing Sachin. |

I am also thinking about it to increase number of points or number of prediction. I will take advice from everyone and then give final details tomorrow. Every participants should give advice regardless of rank and point. I will choose best advice.
I am thinking about adding two more prediction and slightly increase points but not final yet.
Toss win: 20
Team win: 20
Best Batsmen: 30
Best bowler: 30
Most fours: 30
Man of the Match: 30
If minimum 5 prediction correct than 50 bonus points.
This is appealing and this way we have chance to grab more points in the remaining three matches but my only suggestion will be why not increasing the points for team win to 40 or something and let the remaining to be as you suggested because the remaining three matches will not going to be easy to predict the winners and this is big knockouts so one day the entire game will change irrespective of entire tournament performance. Anyway waiting for your announcement... |

Dear @Rikafip  |

This time situation is very different. India is getting full advantage of playing at home. There is very rear chance of India not lifting this world cup. Both New Zealand and South Africa are the only sides left that haven't won any ODI world cup so far and it looks like both team have to wait for 4 more years. There is a possibility that Aussies might be able to beat India if they make it to finals.
The place where the Indian team is playing is when Australia were at their peak and beating Australia was not easy. Australia used to beat every team easily but now that position has been taken over by India and now no team seems to be able to beat India. Both New Zealand and South Africa will have to produce exceptional performances to reach the final. Both will be competing against the best teams in the world, but New Zealand and South Africa are also very capable, they have good bowlers and batsmen who can take the match any time . I think South Africa can beat Australia in the semi final in. However, whichever team plays India in the final is hard to beat from a performance standpoint, and only bad luck can currently beat India. you are right. India is good team but you can't say the semi final match will be very easy for India . New Zealand team fielding is top class whole the World and they save 20-25 runs by their good fielding and their batting side is also good and they have capacity to set a 300+ score on board and they also have capability to chase a big score like 300+ .In past World Cups , New Zealand team played excellent against India.Now, New Zealand team is free of pressure and all pressure is on the team of India because they won all matches and they have a fear of lose . In my opinion , in 15 November New Zealand will win and it will qualify for final. The 2019 semin final is completely different scenario compared to now and for the record the match dragged to second day so the playing condition changed which is the reason why India can't able to make it but no Indian's can forget that run out. But now the story is different and Indian bowling unit is more stronger than ever but we can't rule of Kiwis too so it may be a good contest but the clear favorites are India to win that match. |

I have updated all points and now everyone can check their points. If you feel any mistake, kindly mention it here.
@Gladitorcomeback You missed to add points for me in this match England vs Pakistan, 44th Match
Toss win: England
Team win: Pakistan
Best Batsmen: Ben Stokes
Best Bowler: Adil Rashid
So I will get 30 more points but still the position remains same. 
Do we have any changes in the points for semi final and final matches because I feel it weighs more compared to league matches so how about 50 points for predicting the team wins. |

India is on the 9* unbeaten winning run and the only team that did before was Australia twice 11* in 2003 and 2007.  And this is how India won their matches and when we look at the result column its pretty much safe to say that they shattered every oppositions whether its batting first or while chasing. India's batting and bowling is in top form and we can look that everyone in the top 5 is in the top 15/20 run scorers of this tournament. Indian bowling unit is the actual reason why team look more deadly than before because Indian bowling unit took 88 wickets and only team that hasn't been bowled out is AFG. |

India vs Netherlands, 45th Match
Toss Win: India
Team Win: India
Best Batsman: Virat Kohli
Best Bowler: Mohammed Shami
The final league match is about to start in 45 minutes and its biggest festival day in India so Happy Diwali to everyone, hopefully we may see some fireworks in the matches too. Kohli's favourite ground and 50th century is on the cards so if India bat first then we may likely to see the new history of ODI.

In today match paksitan has to win his last match for his pride at least but unfortunately they didn't and lose against a team who played worst cricket from start and just won thier recent to be honest as a fan it's really tough.
England batted well and they carry forwarded the confidence from their last win but Pakistan batting lineup got confused and dropping Fakhar zaman costed them this in my opinion also Babar failed terribly and he didn't contrbute much in the runs column. Anyway while I was watching commentators mentioned that there is possibilty to drop Babar from captaincy due to lack of performance and PCB already made this decision, now sure how much valid this statement is but if its true then who will be the captain? |

Many Indians often don't show much interest in exploring technology due to their mindset. Only a handful of people in India pick courses or study topics they are genuinely interested in. A lot go for fields that promise good salary with less work effort. I am confident that in the future, upcoming generations will focus more on education, leading to positive changes in India. India is the IT hub of this world right now, almost all the technology company is managed by Indians and number of engineers produced by world from India maybe around 10x of what is actually required then how can you say that Indian's don't have the knowledge? As I said cybercells need to recruit the IT professionals and it needs good salary and the problem is they have same criteria for every police training and same salary package if I am not wrong so why someone will work for 20K when they can get 1.5L in a private companies. |

India have dedicated units to report cyber crime
But what about the efficinecy of the cyber related compaints, its pretty low as far as I know and India needs to grow a lot in this sector and need to hire the actual professional who equipped with the knowledge from top universities and train them to make the system more effective. |

England vs Pakistan, 44th Match Toss win: England Team win: Pakistan Best Batsmen: Ben Stokes Best Bowler: Adil Rashid If Pakistan bat first
If Pakistan score - Restrict England to
300 - 13 runs
350 - 63 runs
400 - 112 runs
450 - 162 runs
500 - 211 runs
If Pakistan field first
If England score - Win inside
20 - 1.3 overs
50 - 2 overs
100 - 2.5 overs
150 - 3.4 overs
200 - 4.3 overs
300 - 6.1 overs So Pakistan has to bat first atleast to have a chance and score as much as they can then try to crush England but I don't think it will happen. |

Toss win: Australia
Team win: Australia
Best Batsmen: Travis Head

As per the reports Australia might rest their key players in this match especially maxwell so anyone who picks him keep that in mind also there is possibility to rest hazlewood. On the other hand Sakib is ruled out of the tournament.
