India vs South Africa, 37th Match

Toss Win: India
Team Win: India
Best Batsman: KL Rahul
Best Bowler: Shami

This is the contest between two strongest and inform teams for the top spot of the table, as of now I am watching the pitch reports unfortunately there is chance for rain now hope it won't interrupt the match today. Looking good to see the Birthday boy, Virat Kohli.

I think some senior players might be rested today. KL Rahul is now the new vice captain, so he might be played as Captain today and Rohit and Virat can be rested. This is my assumption and I might be wrong.
Different perspective but I don't think no one want to be rested now because they are now in the glorious form so all of them just wants to continue their good winning combination. Don't forget this match is also important to secure the top spot of the table so if we end up there then we might get to play with slightly weaker team at the semi final.

The man to watch out for today is Virat and today is his 35th Birthday, so let's wish all our blessings on him and hope he will match the record today. Wink

Will New Zealand Qualify for the World Cup? Or Pakistan?

Don't write AFG, they still have two game while NZ and PAK has only one game left so who knows if AFG win both games then they can surpass both of them and take a spot at top 4. Smiley

NZ playing against SL on Nov 9

PAK playing against ENG on Nov 11

So we have to wait until that to find who is going to take that 4th spot. As I said AFG also got a chance too if they can manage to pull some miracles.

Bad news for India! Hardik Pandya is out of the World Cup due to his injury.
That is terrible news Cry

He is current world's best all-rounder in ODI format and even though team India is performing really well without his presence it can be a problem in knockout games because Indian batting unit has got long tail and if they want to replace him with Ashwin who can give us the batting depth then who is it going to be, cause 3 pacers- 2 spinners formula worked well for us.

^ and Pandya has been replaced with Prasidh Krishna, he'll probably stay on bench since India has enough bowlers. Ashwin might be proper replacement in playing 11 in place of Pandya as he can also bat.
As I said above who will be left out if R.Ashwin come in. They have to compromise kuldeep Yadav or Siraj if they really need to deepen the batting, but I don't think India will take that risk.

So we have Pakistan as winner, rain saved the Pak today, bad luck for NZ and bad luck for viewers as well — this was turning our to be such an interesting match.
I expected that but Pakistan batting was so turned on today and depleted KZ bowling unit can't control the furious Fakhar and the last over before the rain interruption was the key. Unlucky day for NZ but its good for the tournament cause now the spots are still open and theoretically still 7 teams are fighting for it.

On another match, ENG is playing the most defensive and already the required rate is over 6.5 but the players can change that in few overs so all they are focusing now is keeping the wickets in hand and bring their Ashes rivals down.

New Zealand vs Pakistan, 35th Match

Toss win: New Zealand
Team win: Pakistan
Best Batsman: Daryl Mitchell
Best Bowler: Waseem Jr

NZ is still heavy on their batting even though they fell terribly last match which happened due to the wrong decision of bowling first against team like SA but the important concern for them is their camp is filled with lot of injuries and if you guys don't know then please note Matt Henry ruled out, Loki is injured, Kane Williamson injured and reports says they will be fit to play even though if they play their full potential won't be reflected. This is where Pakistan is having the edge and its do or die game for them so I hope they will win and keep their fans hope alive.



England vs Australia, 36th Match

Toss win: England
Team win: Australia
Best Batsman:  David Warner
Best Bowler: Adam Zampa

Nothing really worked for England but they got nothing to lose from now and if they want they can bring their ashes rivals along with them, so it is also can be excited if ENG took that approach and goes all guns blazing so called bazball.

Afghanistan won by 7 wickets against Netherlands. 2023 World Cup Afghanistan players are performing well and their game looks like they can play the semi finals. After winning today's match against Netherlands, Afghanistan's confidence will increase many times. If Afghanistan can win the next two matches, they will secure the semi-finals. As a weak team, Afghanistan has done very well in this World Cup. The batsmen are also performing well and the bowlers are also bowling well. Best wishes to the Afghanistan team.

It is even beyond their expectation but still two games left and I would say even if they can manage to win one out of those two big teams and based on other's results they still got the chance to make it to semi-finals. And if that happens then which incident even go to the history books of their nation for sure.

Tomorrow 2 important games and three teams are fighting for the 3rd and 4th spot.

NZ started their tournament on high level but their three back to back loss put them under this situation and in a day or two we might be able to conclude who will sit at the top 4 to play knockout games.

Netherlands vs Afghanistan, 34th Match

Toss Win: Netherlands
Team Win: Afghanistan
Best Batsman: Hashmatullah Shahidi
Best Bowler: Rashid Khan

Netherlands has really good bowling attack which can even match AFG team's bowling, but their top order hasn't been performed at all throughout this tournament while AFG showed consistency from their top order especially in the last two matches they showed the world how to bat at the 50 over format by convincing wins.

I had conversation with them about bitcoin as well as the returns but I don't think I forced them to invest on bitcoin and also I won't pressure or advise them to invest unless they express a genuine interest and seek my assistance. This way, I can preserve the integrity of my personal relationships and ensure that financial decisions are made with full awareness and consent.

Mixing relations and finance will always go wrong in my assumption so I won't put myself in such position. I believe that financial decisions, especially investments, should be made based on the individual goals, risk tolerance, and understanding.

Yes, it was good to see both these guys competing against each other. In the end Iyer did a good job, hoping he continues to do the same in the semifinals.
I would still prefer SKY over Iyer and I will tell you why, he clearly has weakness against the short ball and today SL bowlers didn't attempted it however imagine match against SA where Rabada, Jansen, Coetzee will use the short ball as go to ball against him where he will fail for sure in my opinion.

There are some unofficial reports says that Hardik will join back to the team in the final league match against Netherlands and continue from there.



Congratulations team India for such commanding victory and kudos to the lethal bowling attack from all the three pacers.

631  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ICC WORLD CUP 2023 DISCUSSION THREAD! on: November 02, 2023, 02:40:21 PM
lol, I can't believe what I'm witnessing, SL completely destroyed, they might not even make 50 today.

The Sri Lankan team is going nowhere under the power of the Indian pacers. If 7 wickets fall for just 22 runs, Sri Lanka can collect a whopping 40 runs in today's match. This could be the lowest score in World Cup history. But Sri Lanka will perform so badly today, never imagined.
Just 2 more wickets needed now and Shami is in four wickets, can he get one more? Smiley

Got to admit that this is the deadliest bowling attack of Indian pace bowlers and the inexperienced Lankans have no clue about how to approach the moving balls.

Literally India is humiliating the SL with ball and luckily SL matched the lowest ODI score now which is 35.
632  Local / India / Re: ICC World Cup 2023 - India discussion on: November 02, 2023, 11:34:03 AM



As expected no changes made by the Indian team management. They don't want to rest senior players or give opportunities to those who are warming the seats. I was expecting Ishan and Ashwin to be part of the squad.

Team India backing up Iyer too much even though it is good for the team environment, still it is kind of discouraging to the talents who are waiting for their opportunities even after having records in their few appearances.

Gill and Kohli made good partnership but two of them fell short of their centuries, I was waiting for 49th ton today which came too close but again soft dismissal. Even after two wickets, India is maintaining the good phase, and it looks like we can reach 360 or more.

250/3 at 39th over. 50 partnership between Iyer and KL Rahul.
633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ICC WORLD CUP 2023 DISCUSSION THREAD! on: November 02, 2023, 09:33:52 AM
After a while, India vs Sri Lanka is going to face at the Mumbai Cricket Stadium. India has the biggest batting lineup in the tournament. If they win just one match, India will be guaranteed a semi-final ticket. They met each other in the Asia Cup final. But Sri Lanka's performance in that match was very disappointing. Now it is a matter of seeing whether Sri Lanka can turn around against India. Earlier, two World Cup matches were played in Mumbai. Those who batted in the first innings scored 350+ runs.
Sri Lanka skipper Kusal Mendis opted to bowl first at Wankhede stadium in Mumbai. India has unchanged side in this match while Sri Lanka made 1 change Dushan Hemantha replaces Dhananjaya de Silva. Dilshan Madushanka cleaned up Rohit Sharma for just 4(2) runs. What a timber from Madushanka. When India last time faced Sri Lanka at Wankhede in the ODI World Cup, they beat Sri Lanka for 6 wickets and lifted their second World Cup title under MS Dhoni captaincy. I think India will make it special once again and win this match.
Actually it seems a good choice after winning the toss because SL bowlers started very good even after the wicket of Rohit there were atleast three dropped chances between Kohli and Gill which is where SL is proving why they are at this stage.

A partnership is now building in between Gill and Kohli hope they would take the game away from SL while the game progresses.

72/1 at the end of 12 overs.

India vs Sri Lanka, 33rd Match

Toss Win: India
Team Win: India
Best Batsman: Shubman Gill
Best Bowler: Mohammed Shami

This game will bring back the memories of 2011 for sure but its not the same strong team like they were before so there is no doubt that India will be having any issues on winning this game but I would like to see some changes like Ishan in place of Iyer so there will be combination of left and right which will be helpful in the upcoming matches. Also I feel this might be the game for Gill to get back to his golden form, so I'd go with him and let's see if he can.
635  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ICC WORLD CUP 2023 DISCUSSION THREAD! on: November 01, 2023, 07:49:31 PM
What a shocker from NZ! I was expecting a close game as they did almost chase over 380 against Australia but couldn't even get past 170 against RSA. I honestly don't rate Keshav Maharaj much as a quality spinner but I suppose New Zealanders couldn't read his spin much and gave away 4 wickets to him.

I feel the wickets fell simply due to the scoreboard pressure, and any score over 300 will bring that psychological barrier and I expected this would happen immediately when NZ won the toss and said bowl first. Honestly why they chose to bowl?

SA lost to a low score while chasing against NED and the result almost same with Pakistan too but saved by that marginal mistake from umpire so why NZ didn't try to exploit their opposition weakness!

Semifinals Qualification Scenario

The top 4 teams according to current point tables are India, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. How many wins do each of them need to confirm their semifinal spot.

  • India needs only 1 win out of their 3 matches.
  • South Africa need two wins to guarantee their spot out of three matches.
  • New Zealand need to win all the three matches to confirm their spot.
  • Australia too has to win all the three matches to confirm their spot. If they lose any game then they will have to rely on other results and NRR.

I can confirm that India will be able to secure their spot in the next game, which is against Srilanka. Which three will be the next to confirm their spot? Any guesses?

AFAIK, 12 points is enough to secure the top 4 spot and India as well as SA reached it so both teams will be fighting for top 1 and 2 positions while the remaining teams have to perform well as well rely on other's result to get qualified.

As of now NZ dropped to 4th position after the huge defeat against SA today which will make the NZ to win remaining 2 out of 2 to secure their spot or if 1 out of 2 then their qualification will be based on NRR.

Tomorrow we have India vs SL and with current form of India its impossible for SL to beat India but the fact its going to be the repeat of 2011 final since its going to happen at Wankhede. I hope India will make the right change now which is replace Iyer with Ishan and let the SKY continue at his current spot so that we still have the stability if Hardik might ruled out of the tournament at knockout stages.

New Zealand vs South Africa, 32nd Match

Toss Win: New Zealand
Team Win: New Zealand
Best Batsman: Rachin Ravindra
Best Bowler:  Marco Jansen

Really important match for NZ more than SA, after terrific start they struggled back to back loss and now sitting at 8 points so they need to win 3 out of 2 matches to get through semi-final comfortable or else their presence will depend on the run rate of other teams.

As others said if NZ won the toss and choose to defend it then It's pretty much a game in their hands.
638  Local / India / Re: Will Bitcoin reach $150K in the next Bull Run? on: November 01, 2023, 04:21:52 AM

But 150k is to bizarre to think of. Be realistic here and keep realistic goals. We need to break the previous ATH first and then find a new one. Anyways when a new ATH happens, a lot of selling pressure to defend that price will come in.

Honestly, I feel 120K to 130K can be the realistic value to achieve, and it's just based on doubling the ATH value of BTC from its previous bullish season. Here is a breakdown BTC price chart.


From the chart we can see the from 2017 to 2021 the price tripled, and previously it was way higher, so I assume even if it doubles the price can reach over 120K for sure.

Match 31: Pakistan vs Bangladesh

Toss Win: Bangladesh
Team Win: Bangladesh
Best Batsman: Rizwan
Best Bowler: Mustafizur Rahman

Pakistan seems to be the clear favorites in this match but this tournament we have witnessed more upside down results so going to take a gamble and let's see Bangladesh can replicate what they are capable of. To add more spice to the coming matches even the team has no chance to qualify for the semis will try hard due to the ICC champions trophy qualification criteria changed and the top 7 teams and Pakistan will play the ICC champions trophy.

LOL! Afghanistan continus to defeat big names in cricket! What exactly is happening in this World Cup? A team that ranked last in the 2019 World Cup suddenly started defeating teams that expected the least. Another good game by Afghanistan with a an amazing ability to chase runs. With this win Afghanistan are now place 5 th on the point table. Next, they woul be playing against the Netherlands and if they are able to defeat them, then they might have a chance in the semifinals.
Assuming they can defeat Netherlands, still they have to pull another thriller against Australia or SA to get to that 10 points. But definitely they are showing how to play an ODI game for some bigger teams and also not in any fancy way just by setting up them in conventional way. As of now, their middle order seams to be more stable after India and NZ. Kudos to their efforts and from SL point of view they put themselves under too much pressure which restrict them from playing their natural game.
