2 changes from my side.

I am also feeling same that Australia chances of winning is high even though they lost initial matches however all theirs opponent team was so tough. Pakistan bowling is not looking good which was main reason of their wins. Pitch is batting friendly and Australia aggressive batsmen will enjoy today.

This match is likely to be very competitive. Because despite having strong squads of both Australia and Pakistan, their performance is quite erratic and unstable. Still, Pakistan is in a much better position than Australia. Pakistan won two out of three matches. And Australia won only 1 out of 3 matches.

Australia's batting order is quite weak. No player in the team is able to maintain consistency. But the condition of Pakistani bowlers is not very good. I think this match will depend on the performance of the bowlers of both the teams. Teams whose bowlers' performance is controlled are more likely to win. In this match I consider Pakistan team as favorite.

What concerns me is the batting of Shreyas Iyer. I think he is struggling with his timing and after watching him getting caught today I feel he should be rested. I am sure the Indian team management won't agree with me.

The next concern is Hardik Injury as the Indian team need him . The reason is simple he is the best all rounder that India has after Kapil Dev. For now the news is not good as he has been sent for scans as the team physio think he has broken his ankle.

Who will be the next replacement? Either Shami or Kishan I personally think will be his replacement. What do you guys think?

^^ You can't expect to win match when you are dropping easy catches. it was so frustrating to watch them field and throwing was embarrassing, if they were quick on the field then they had at least 2 runout chances as well so they deserve to lose this match.

They dropped Young when he was on single digit and he stitched a crucial partnership with the Rachin (he was dropped too). Then Afghan went to drop 2 more simple catches. Latham and Glenn Phillips punished them for that.

Afghan batting is in poor shape and that maybe the reason why they chose to field first. Even during the match against England,

Yet to place a bet and with the two upsets, probably wait till the toss and might place a bet against the team chasing as Afghanistan has good spinners and if New Zealand is chasing then they might get into trouble like England.

I have been informed that the Transaction Hash is fake.

I doubt there will be another upset today like yesterday. I was surprised that it started raining today. This rain might change the way the pitch has reacted to spin bowling. For now the pace bowlers can utilize the moisture to their benefit.

Sri Lanka doesn't have a good bowling attack. They do have couple of good spinners but they are not effective always. I still think Australia will make a comeback from this match. But first they need a small target to chase.

Australia will look for a target that is below 200 or 250. They would like to chase that target as fast as they can. That is the only way they can improve their current net run rate.

With halving less than a year from now, the majority of us are speculating a major increase in price and possibly the start of another bull market after 4 years. Some are expecting to surpass the previous ATH of almost $70,000 and possibly reach $100,000. Although this scenario sounds great and all, I'm not quite confident that it'll happen in the upcoming year or so. The current economic condition in the world isn't too promising and, in my opinion, will set back investments in general, including bonds and the stock market. I hope I'm proven wrong, though.

However, I tend to have a more pessimistic and down-to-earth approach to this matter. Bitcoin's current price is ranging from $27,000 to $28,000 as we speak, while we will also occasionally see it as low as $25,000. With that being said, in my opinion, sometime after the halving, the scenario of Bitcoin surpassing $50,000 doesn't sound too impossible to me. Thus, if we suppose that someone purchases Bitcoin now, approximately within a year, he or she may be capable of doubling their initial investment.

I know that these are all pure assumptions, but instead of speculating massive ATH and 3x or 4x returns, which are way too common in the forum, why not expect something that is more probable to happen in the near future? And to be honest, doubling your investment is a great yield that cannot easily be found in other forms of investment.
