it was more rational to invest in some altcoin, like SOL (any other altcoin of your choice, as long as it shows a profitability higher than BTC).

Many people on the forum do not like investing in altcoins and most are against investing in them. But honestly, we shouldn't be too stubborn and ignore the potential of some altcoins. Especially during the bull season, it becomes easier to profit from altcoins, so take advantage to increase your assets.

I personally hold most of the bitcoins I earned from the signature campaign, but I will sell them if I need money and will sell all of them during the upcoming bull season. I use money from my other job to invest in altcoins and to be honest, I'm focusing more on altcoins at this stage. I believe investing in altcoins will yield better returns than focusing solely on bitcoin, and I don't want to miss out on this once-in-four-years opportunity.

Talking about whether China or any country can control bitcoin or not, I think there will be no exact answer. The answer "yes" is just everyone's speculation, none of us know the true strength of the Chinese government, how can they arbitrarily give such an answer? Also, if you consider that they can control bitcoin, that means they can also destroy it but why haven't they done that so far and can only issue a ban?

No country is strong enough to control, stop or destroy bitcoin. That will only happen if all governments join hands, but this scenario is even more unlikely. That's why governments that don't like bitcoin can only issue a ban and can't do anything else.

 

No, as we discussed here, China absolutely could take over Bitcoin if they wanted to, as could any country with their resources. I agree that they probably don't want to, but that doesn't mean that it's impossible, or that Bitcoin is some sort of magical force that can withstand any conceivable attack.






That's your opinion and I respect it but I still won't change my opinion and won't be convinced unless you have proof of China's power that can actually take over bitcoin. Do you work in a Chinese government agency or any other government agency? Because like I said, if they can do that then they can destroy it too, but why is it all just a ban now and they can't do anything else with bitcoin?

I don't belittle or underestimate any government but thinking that they can do whatever they want is not necessarily true. There will still be barriers, things that they will never take over or destroy, which is why bans, blocks, warnings...are created.

Arsenal is going to play against Manchester United in the next match. I think this should not be a problem for Arsenal. What do you guys think?

Of course, there is a chance that Manchester United is surprisingly going to perform well in the next match and somehow steal one from Arsenal. But Arsenal should not let that happen. Because if that happens, Arsenal will actually lose the chance of winning the English Premier League title in my opinion. Because Manchester City already has an advantage over them. Manchester City has played one match less compared to them. Manchester United is not performing well. So I think we can expect Arsenal to win this match. But Arsenal should definitely not underestimate Manchester United. Someone who has nothing to lose is generally not scared at all. I think we can say that about Manchester United.

as @abhiseshakana said, in other words, Barcelona seemed to have no enthusiasm anymore after finishing the UCL match with a defeat because it seemed like they had no hope in La Liga and UCL.
so it is very likely that Barcelona thought that they would appear as is rather than having to chase runners up which is a bit difficult when they have to compete with Girona who have more perfect players.
I still believe in what I said if Barcelona is still able to maintain the runner up position, sometimes I also worry if Barcelona will really give up the runner up position to give it to Girona.

regarding Girona future in the next season, actually it all depends on how Girona management manages its players and if Girona keeps reliable players and only sells unproductive players, it is possible that Girona performance will remain fine, but if Girona thinks about money and choosing to sell several quality players, it looks like Girona will lose their performance like this season.

Barcelona is on the third position right now and things are looking to get more and more harder for Barcelona as the days goes on.  The problem that was created by the ex-Barachan president Bartameu is still proving to be really hard for Barcelona to actually overcome. he was spending money by saying one thing that at that time Barcelona was earning more money than any other club in the world.

So he was spending money that the Barcelona club didn’t even have the hope that they would make that money back. But we all know what happened after that. Barcelona is still recovering from the situation that was created. And the recovery is going to take time. Thankfully Xavi is going to stay in Barcelona. And that is good for Barcelona because I do not think any other coach which Barcelona could have gotten would have been able to bring in better results or was actually going to be patient. Barcelona will still look to finish in the second position in this season. But now it is looking a lot harder. And Barcelona is definitely not going to achieve that if they keep making mistakes like they have been making in the defense recently.

In general, after being eliminated from the Champions League, Bayern Munich will experience frustration and it will be very difficult to focus on the remaining Bundesliga matches. Moreover, they are aware that they have not won a single title this season so that will further erode their mentality.

From the start, Stuttgart has been a fierce competitor for Bayern Munich and next time they will definitely try to finish in second place in the standings and make Bayern Munich even more devastated. There is not much that Bayern Munich can do and Wolfsburg will definitely use Bayern Munich's guilt to their advantage later. Tuchel no longer has hope and, moreover, several months ago he stated that he had resigned at the end of the season as coach of Bayern Munich.
Munich have been officially eliminated from the Champions League this season and their hopes of winning the trophy are of course no longer there, now Munich will only focus on the Bundesliga this season to secure their position as runners up at the end of the season, Bayern Munich remaining two games this season are only against Wolfsburg and also Hoffenheim which is relatively easier for them to beat,  Although Bayern Munich may fail to finish runners-up at the end of the season, but still at this time their position and chances to play in the Champions League have been very safe and will not be usurped by other teams in the Bundesliga.

The competition for the runner up position is between Stuttgart and also Bayern Munich, but after the defeat to Madrid before, of course it is difficult to say if Bayern Munich mentality and performance have improved again at this time, I think Bayern Munich current condition is so bad that maybe they will lose points even if they face weak teams like Hoffenheim or Wolfsburg later and make Stuttgart will be more free to be able to take second place from Munich and keep it until the season ends.

I hope that Bayern Munich will be able to hold onto the second position that they are in right now. Because they have already lost the Champions League competition. I know they played well in the Champions League. But at the end of the day, they have not been able to even get to the final. And I don’t think they are going to be any happier when they see that Dortmund, which is actually a pretty inferior team compared to them, has actually gone to the final of the Champions League competition.

I know they are going to go through a managerial change after this season is done. I also know that they have been approaching different coaches. But I was a little bit surprised and also concerned to say that they have actually approached Ten Hag. But I think they are not going to go ahead with that decision. They should bring in someone better. And I hope they will be able to perform better in the next season.

The way Bitcoin bounces is unique. It proves this isnt a fad but a financial revolution. Bitcoin persists despite doubts, government control, and market chaos. That resiliency is decentralization's power. Bitcoin is owned by anyone, therefore no single point of failure. The system is powerful because its administered by and for the people.

The real genius is security and limited supply. Bitcoin's advanced cryptography makes it nearly unhackable. Trust grows from safe transactions. Since there will only be a limited supply of Bitcoin, governments cant create more and manipulate its value. This gadget is built to last, and more people utilizing it will increase its value. Its thrilling to be discussing a potential international currency's early days!

You are truly a writing genius, reading what you describe about bitcoin makes me feel like bitcoin is perfect like god, without any drawbacks and bitcoin was created to heal this world, LOL.

If you think bitcoin cannot be manipulated, can you explain to me why it has such high volatility, can go up and down 10%-20% with just one news about inflation, or a fake news spread in the market? With an asset capitalization of only 2 trillion USD, smaller than the market capitalization of an American technology company, and this is a free market. How can the market avoid being manipulated?
You're right, the government probably won't have time to manipulate bitcoin, bitcoin is being manipulated by market makers, whales, sharks, not the government.
67  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is that one reason that motivates you to invest in bitcoin even at ATH ? on: May 10, 2024, 12:58:54 PM
If you look closely you will see that Bitcoin price was close to $74k this year where you mentioned that Bitcoin price will touch $69k in 2024. The price of Bitcoin dumped the market after touching the milestone of $74k, which was the highest price touch in the history of Bitcoin. Bitcoin has never touched this milestone before so many fear that if they buy during the peak price they may suffer later I would say to them that Bitcoin may have hit the peak price before. And from that time to the present but the market has changed a lot positively, there is no doubt that the market can go from the present condition to a better condition in the future. So those who have an investment plan can invest if they want and wait and invest and hope the results will satisfy you.

Those who were unlucky enough to buy bitcoin at $74k recently don't need to worry too much as the real bull season is yet to come and bitcoin is still likely to reach the $100k mark in the near future. But that doesn't mean we should invest in bitcoin recklessly or blindly, buying bitcoin at ATH or at too high a price is really not a wise idea. We should limit Fomo and buy when the market is rising, and instead we should wait for bitcoin to adjust to a better price before buying.

In investing, a good asset is not enough to bring us the best profits, we need the right time to buy and sell. If we buy bitcoin at 74k$, the profit will be no better than those who buy bitcoin today when its price is 60k$.
It's crucial to approach Bitcoin investing with caution and strategy. While the market may still have potential for growth, buying at all-time highs can be risky. Timing is key, and waiting for more favorable price levels can be a wise move. Investing thoughtfully and avoiding FOMO can lead to better long-term outcomes.

As I said before, a good asset only helps us minimize risk but cannot guarantee us profits. The necessary and sufficient condition to ensure profits for us is that we need to have the right time to buy and sell, and with a good asset.

What I see is people just shouting and emphasizing that bitcoin is a good, potential asset...and they naively think that just buying it will automatically yield profits and make them rich. But they don't know that bitcoin is just a financial market, and there will be winners and losers. People who buy at too high a price or at an ATH price only become liquidity for others, not helping them make a profit. It's true that they could have held and waited if they bought at ATH, but when they broke even, many others had made many times their profits. So buying when the price is at ATH or buying because of Fomo is not a smart investment strategy.

Could China (or similar) take control of Bitcoin?

But OP, I want to ask you why China wants to control bitcoin and what is their purpose? Have you ever thought about the scenario if China or any country controls bitcoin but the rest of the world bans bitcoin to avoid manipulation from China, would controlling bitcoin be beneficial?


Several posts here have made the point about whether China would want to do this, but that wasn't my question. My question was whether they could, and the answer to that question is yes.

Quote
Remember that bitcoin's value comes from its decentralized nature and if someone can control it then it means it is no longer decentralized so no one needs it anymore. The idea of controlling the bitcoin network makes no sense, so I never thought this would happen.

China or some other country or entity with similar resources could absolutely take over Bitcoin if they wanted to. Decentralization makes a network resistant to a take-over, but no network is takeover-proof.

69  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Accumulating Bitcoin or trading Bitcoin which is more wise to do. on: May 10, 2024, 12:28:52 PM
Let me make it very clear for you mate. If you gave enough time and can commit to give it to market, then trading is appropriate for this. On the other hand, if you don’t have some time, then it’s better to accumulate the Bitcoins rather than trading. Now you need to understand that trading requires some time given to the market in order to make the profit. Hence if no time, then accumulation is the best option.
Even if you spend all your time in the market and start trading, there is no guarantee that you will make a profit from trading. Trading is not simple and it is not for the masses either. The fact that you spend a lot of time on it only ensures that you will have better knowledge but cannot guarantee that you will definitely make a profit. Knowledge is not too difficult to acquire, but applying it and making a profit depends on your talent and effort.
For me, being able to win in trading requires not only experience and knowledge, sometimes it also requires one's talent and that is why there are not too many successful traders on the market.
Of course, to become a successful trader you must have skills and talents that support you in order to make a profit, trading activity is not an easy thing and even if you have been doing it for years and have sufficient experience and knowledge about trading. However, if you were not born with talent or ability in the field of trading, you will not be able to achieve satisfactory profits. Indeed, experience and knowledge can help you become a better trader, but this is not certain or there is no guarantee that you will get consistent profits.
Trading is the same as entering a university that does not match the talents or skills that we actually have before, and yes, you will graduate from that university and also have sufficient knowledge and time. However, it is not certain that you will be successful in the university major you are studying because this is not a talent or skill that you were born with. And instead you become successful because of the talents and skills you were born with.

I am not against it or saying that trading is bad because each person has different abilities and talents. And I agree with the OP that, between choosing to trade or accumulate bitcoin, which is the better path to help us succeed and become rich, I would choose to hold. Let's look at reality and what has been happening, we have many millionaires and billionaires investing in bitcoin but most of them are long-term holders. Very few people can become rich through trading, and we regularly hear about billions of dollars being liquidated every time bitcoin is volatile. That shows that trading is not easy.

Oh come ooooon! I hope that United goes to relegation at this point, they have seen a whole year of Real Madrid preferring to not even play with any strikers, leave the striker position wide open, and still not prefer Joselu over no players? I mean Joselu is so bad that I wouldn't get him to any team that is trying to go for European competitions in any of the five big leagues.

At this point, I think that the best thing he could do would be just going to some Saudi team or MLS team, or find some terrible European league and be striker of a good team there, because he has no place at a club like United. Plus they already have Hojlund, why the hell would they need a striker like him? Obviously there is definitely something wrong going on within the team for sure.

Actually, A big problem with Manchester United is that they are concentrating too much on PR and not concentrating enough on the actual performance of the club. If you are unable to perform well in the field, you are going to become irrelevant eventually. Maybe they think that any kind of popularity is good popularity. I also believe that they are thinking negative popularity is also good. But they have forgotten that if a kid wants to buy a Manchester United shirt, he's not going to do that out of love for Manchester United. He's going to do that because of his love for Cristiano Ronaldo.  There is a chance that ishowspeed is going to boost the sales of Manchester United and also bring in some young fans. But that is not going to be great in the long term.

Actually imagine if Manchester United actually gets relegated, what’s going to happen?
71  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CZ Sentenced, Your Bitcoin in their Custody on: May 09, 2024, 08:27:35 AM

https://twitter.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1785384669812273570?t=ZGZzfngY_UpyDCLbq4hWTA&s=19


What next after four months,

On Tuesday, the Binance CEO CZ was sentenced to four months imprisonment all on the charges of allowing for the participation of illegal money laundry from his exchange Binance, the US government gile a lawsuit against him and charged him, same way they habe been clamping down of other privacy means in which bitcoiner can use to achieve thier goals, i don't wa t to mention the keyword bit we all know about the recent ban thst took effect since January 1st of this year 2024.

With all these happening, I suggest we should be reminded as bitcoiners on what we are made for and should not loose focus on how we can achieve our target with the use of bitcoin for our financial economy in all modules of it's applications Privacy should be our heritage with bitcoin, using centralized exchanges is the weakest means to have it, because the governments will be after you when you're under a centralized exchange, they have all your details with them.

Every bitcoiners should understand why they need to have in custody their own digital financial asset and not with third parties like exchange ss, they can be attacked, hacked and if any of these happens, our asset with them are gone, we should learn to avoid the use of exchange, hold our bitcoin on cold storages and remember that not your keys not your coins still ever remains verdict in bitcoin network.


Surprised he was only jailed for four months, people who have dealt with the same crime for less than the amount involved in this case get years and years, and this is after they have paid their fines too, which I believe ChangPeng did before in hopes of not facing jail time.

In that regard, you're right this goes to show that just keeping your money in exchange wallets are a massive death sentence, we're only able to survive by the skin of our teeth this time because Binance is secured financially and would not lose to bank runs and stuff like these. If it was a different exchange, (as evident with FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried who is jailed for 25 years) we would've been fucked sideways lol.

Anywho, hope this becomes a wakeup call for the newbies and people who are like me once upon a time, die-hard fans of Binance and internet protector of CZ to maybe check and transfer all their assets in their cold wallets.

It's true that we shouldn't store our assets on centralized exchanges but I don't see any connection between CZ going to jail and storing assets. In addition, comparing FTX with Binance or CZ with SAM is also quite lame, why did FTX collapse, then SAM went to jail and CZ went to jail but binance still dominates the cryptocurrency market? This is really a lame and somewhat unfair comparison for Binance as they always try to do their best and customers are always satisfied with them, while FTX was previously a scammer with a plan.

I'm not defending anyone or encouraging anyone to store their bitcoins on centralized exchanges but we should evaluate things fairly and clearly. By the way, are you sure you're not using binance or any centralized exchange?

73  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will blockchain survive the crackdown on mixers and anonymization? on: May 09, 2024, 05:33:32 AM
This could effectively kill the entire ability of people to transact in a way that cannot be traced.

But yet the only reason to use blockchain in the first place is to create these kinds of transactions. So why use it?


I believe Bitcoin is not actually created to make transactions with complete anonymity nor either traceable by the government, it's just to eliminate the middle man and still Bitcoin is capable of doing that. Governments are targetting the mixers because they believe these services were used to mix the coins from scams and hacks and laundered it to their customers by taking good money as commission.
Agree with you, what the government is doing is cracking down on anonymous services because they think it makes it difficult for them to track criminals and manage their citizens. The government has no intention of attacking bitcoin or blockchain as the OP is mentioning. If they really want to ban bitcoin and hinder the development of cryptocurrency, why did they accept bitcoin ETFs and introduce a series of regulations for the cryptocurrency market? What they want is to control the market, to control us, they have no intention of stopping the development of blockchain technology or the cryptocurrency industry.

Your own understanding of football  is crazy to be honest. You can still bring in Xabi Alonso and he will face same challenges faced by Manchester United. Don't forget Erik Ten Hag plays from behind and has almost all his players absent from major games this season.

Until Manchester United bring in new set of players,  they will always be backwards.  Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho,  Ole Gunner and Ralf Ragnick all said the same thing and it's still affecting Erik Ten Hag. Most of you all don't read you just decide to follow the crowd blindly to make spammy bloody post. There's nothing moving well with Manchester United,  its not about the coach you also have to look at the equipments and facilities they have if they're also good enough.

What's the difference from last season and this season?
Most of you don't ask yourself that question,  they have to deal with too many injuries this season and it affected the defenders and also how they linked up with the midfielders.

You just making unnecessary assumptions and when you bring in the next manager Y'all would still open your big mouths and cry. Tackling these issues from.the root is the key.  Let the new assigned directors do the job they was brought in to do.
I don’t think Man United are having issues with the coach because you can see when ETH came in last season, the victories he was able to get for the club and the squad he used. This season has been a major setback for him and the club at large and i wouldn’t blame him any bit. ⁠Injury has been the major setback for this team this season and if that’s not fixed, I think even the mew coach coming in to an extent will still struggle.

Another point to consider is the ownership of the club because to an extent I think that’s another major challenge the club is facing at this point. ⁠These issues are ones that should be addressed from the main source and mot just changing managers because that might not be able to hold anyweight. When the new manager comes, he still meets an injured squad and will you still expect success with a lame squad.

 The club’s ownership to needs to be changed because I think to an extent they tend to be placing some players above others and this affects the manager’s philosophy. So if a new coach is aquired what are the chances that he’ll also be able succeed under such circumstances.

I do not understand how any people with a right mind can actually still defend Ten Hag. If someone cannot see that he is not bringing in good results with or without having all the players available, he is also not bringing in good results against weaker opponents, I think they are just too blind to see. I have to say the coping mechanisms of some of the Manchester United fans are incredible. They are still defending the coach. And I know deep inside their heart they actually know that the coach is the problem. somehow they are still trying to say that they did not have all the players available against Crystal Palace and that's why they lost by a score of 4-0. Like, how can someone make that make sense? It is incredibly dumb. if you think this coach is one of the best, he was only able to make Manchester United finish in the third position once. Other than that he did nothing else. So that’s the best Manchester United is capable of?

Or I guess they are just happy that Manchester United acted like they are signing ishowspeed. If they actually signed him instead of the fidget spinner Antony, he actually would have scored more than once this season.
77  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 07, 2024, 05:43:33 PM
Manchester United had a weird lineup for the match against Crystal Palace. Bruno Fernandes was missing in the middle and the defensive duo was Casemiro and Evans, which sounds like a joke to me. I don't think that Crystal Palace was that strong, Manchester United was simply too weak and unorganized in defense and the middle. In the fist goal, the Crystal Palace player managed to outplay 3 United players and nobody stopped from shooting right before the penalty line. Manchester United definitely doesn't deserve to get a spot in the ranking, which will allow them to play in the Conference League.

This makes their hopes of entering the Eurozone likely to fail. If you look at the players who are sent down, this is indeed very different. In fact, I just saw Casemiro play as a full back. Of the 11 players, it seems Casemiro has the worst grade. Casemiro played slowly enough that he couldn't keep up with Michael Olise's pace. In fact, he was often in the wrong position, and it became the worst point of Man United's game.

Not only Casemiro, I also saw the roles of Erickson, Hojlound and Garnacho could not perform optimally. But I understand Ten Hag seems to have a headache with a lot of injuries. It seems that Ten Hag is not too bothered by this result because he will leave soon.

Well, I think he is actually not bothered about the result since he has actually come to the club as a coach. Because if he was actually bothered about the result, he wouldn’t have kicked out Cristiano Ronaldo, who was literally carrying the team.

Anyway, that’s a long time ago. Maybe people will say that I should move on. But I cannot help but think that things could have been very different if Cristiano Ronaldo was still playing for Manchester United. Just answer me this who did the ring in to replace Cristiano Ronaldo? And was he an improvement compared to Cristiano Ronaldo as they said?

Well, he is leaving soon. And before leaving he has done everything he could to make sure that the team will probably not recover from where he is going to leave it. And To Manchester United, good luck selling your fidget spinner that you brought in for 95 million.

After Barcelona's defeat to Girona, they lost the second place that guarantees participation in the Spanish Super Cup, and this is a problem for Barcelona because it will give the club additional finances, which Barcelona has problems with. That is, Xavi must take care to regain his lost position, because after the recent negotiations and the decision to remain in the team, the negativity that Xavi faces again arises.
I don't think Xavi can be completely blamed for the defeat against Girona yesterday because Barcelona played very optimally. Moreover, even though he has decided to stay at Barcelona, it doesn't mean he can make Barcelona continue to perform well. Barcelona may need time and changes for next season because it is important for In order for them to win the title in Laliga next season, Barcelona must be able to get several new players to be able to overhaul the current main squad so that they can perform better next season, of course there will be quite tight competition in Laliga and UCL next season.

There is a one point difference with Girona and I think Barcelona still has a chance to take over second place as runners up if Girona fails in the few remaining matches available, Barcelona for now must be able to finish the remaining matches at the end of the season with a win in order to take over second place. When Girona makes a mistake and suffers defeat, Xavi must be able to evaluate yesterday's defeat against Girona and improve everything so that Barcelona can perform better in the remaining final matches at the end of this season which will soon be over.

Barcelona has been making a lot of mistakes on the defensive side of things. And that's why I believe Barcelona actually had conceded the last 2 goals that they did. Otherwise, I think Barcelona would definitely have gone away with at least one point from this match. It is actually sad to see that Barcelona has been making so many mistakes in the defense in recent times. The club already has a lot of things to think about and the same goes for Xavi. and now if Barcelona players make these kinds of mistakes, it definitely makes things hard for Barcelona.

I also don't think Xavi can be blamed for the loss of Barcelona against Girona. Because at the end of the day, he is not the one playing on the field. He is just making the plans. The players are the ones executing the plans. Making those mistakes in defense is absolutely unacceptable. And the players know that very well in my opinion.

Not being able to finish in the 2nd position is definitely going to be another step back for the Barcelona team this season. I hope Xavi has some idea about how to get out of this situation even though he is probably not going to get a good amount of money.

Ten Hag is a potential candidate to replacing Tuchel at Bayern Munich, very high trust souce said so.
It looks we may go with a swap of coaches between Mancehstery United and Bayer, interesting.
Tuchel has certainly done better this season than Manchester United manager Ten Hag. Under Tuchel, Bayern Munich reached the semi-finals of the Champions League this season where they managed a tough match against Real Madrid in the first leg. Tuchel's season would have been complete if they could have won the league title but they tried but couldn't compete with Leverkusen in the end but despite performing poorly in the league tournament they are doing well in this season's Champions League. The team under Ten Hag have performed very poorly this season so it would not be surprising if Manchester United make a tough decision against this manager. 

Tuchel can still prove himself for Bayern Munich as he still has a chance in the Champions League.

There is no reason for them to actually get Ten Hag at all. It is going to be a big downgrade. if they actually get Ten Hag, the performance from them is actually going to go down as well. We all are watching what Manchester United is going through right now. There is no way any other top-level team is actually going to contact Ten Hag. I think Bayern Munich definitely needs to improve the coach that they have.

But they will be making a very big mistake if they actually approach Ten Hag. José Mourinho could be a great option if we think that Ten Hag was the one that they actually approached first. Actually, anyone looks to be a great option compared to Ten Hag.

Bangladesh team has won three consecutive matches with Zimbabwe team, defeating Zimbabwe team in three matches and the margin of victory in three matches is wide. Clive Madamde collected 11 runs from 16 balls, a huge deficit for the Zimbabwean team. Bangladesh team also lost more wickets today, if Tawheed Hriday and Zakir Ali did not perform well in today's match then Bangladesh team would have lost today. Tawheed Hriday and Zakir Ali played the biggest role in batting behind today's victory.

Bangladesh team is always lucky against Zimbabwe. Bangladesh team won the first three matches of the series. However, I was not satisfied with the performance of Bangladesh players in today's match. I expected better batting from Bangladesh.

The two openers are not in good form. Both batting was very slow. With such a slow start in the T20 format, it is difficult to collect big. The strike rate of the two openers was less than 100. Bangladesh team managed to collect 160+ in this match only because of Hridoy and Jaker Ali's innings. Towhid Hridoy scored 57 runs off 38 balls and jaker Ali scored 44 runs off 34 balls.

Like the last two matches, Taskin and Saifuddin bowled well today. Taskin picked up just one wicket. But he gave only 21 runs in 4 overs. Saifuddin, on the other hand, while giving away a lot of runs, managed to pick up three crucial wickets.
