Losing De Bruyne indeed have an impact for Manchester City performance in Premier league and it proven Haaland performance looks decline when Manchester City playing without De Bruyne but in this competition i am sure Manchester City will be qualified with champion group status
Yes, to be able to win the title you need talented player and Haaland cannot face thats alone without player who strengthen the defense line, and so far Kevin De Bruyne has done his best for Manchester City if Pep Guardiola doesn't immediately make a mature strategy It is not impossible thats Manchester City will have difficulty facing the Premier League and also the Champions League.
therefore Pep Guardiola only hope at the moments is for Haaland to be able to scored goals for Manchester City, but this all requires strongs team collaboration to be able to achieve victory in every matches.
I don't think Manchester City has a lost a lot,sure their recent results suggest that they are not doing well but any team can happen to have a bad moment and that is exactly what Manchester City is experiencing right now.The good thing for them was this International break which will help them recover both in Premier League and in Champions League where they should have no problems at all passing the group stage.
For the long term though I agree they need someone to replace De Bryne if he will continue injured and even when he recovers his performance would need time to match his performance before he got injured.

Manchester City have lost two matches in the Premier League. However, the team continued to dominate the Champions League. They have won easily in both the Champions League matches. But we have to accept that Manchester City's performance has deteriorated somewhat. Their midfield is somewhat weak except for De Bruyne. De Bruyne is one of Manchester City's most important players. So it is not possible to fill De Bruyne's vacancy for coach Guardiola. However, Guardiola is a very experienced coach. Manchester City is still consistently doing well because of his excellent match strategy. Also because the understanding between City players is very good. This is why City's performance is still somewhat stable without De Bruyne.

Actually I'm not sure about "destroying". Chimaev is indeed my favorite fighter for this fight but actually I don't see the mentality of a champion in him. I can say that Chimaev is an immature fighter. His last match against Burns showed when Chimaev didn't listen to his coach's advice. And if this was still the same Chimaev then the outcome of the fight would have been different. It's just that I still place my bet on Chimaev.

You will never know for sure what is going on with Chimaev's mind, and we will never know what may happen in the future for sure even though his mind is immature and he likely doesn't have a focused mind on becoming a champion for his strength alone has proven us that he may 1 day become champion for sure and for me, I always believe that Khamzat Chimaev even though he is not champion material or many is against him for sure that 1 day he can likely achieve that,

I will actually say that Khamzat is currently a better fighter compared to Kamaru Usman. I will actually agree with @owengtam09 that Kamaru Usman is well past his prime days. So I don't think Usman is going to be the winner of this fight. But I will also not say that the fight is going to be one-sided. In my opinion, the fight is actually going to be close. But in no way I see Usman coming out as the winner from this fight. If I recall correctly he lost his last two fights. so that is definitely not something which will increase the confidence going up against Khamzat.

Manchester City may be interested in Toni Kross. He is a great midfielder. However, Manchester City's midfield is already much stronger now. So I don't think it would be very profitable to add Kross, who is almost 34 years old, to the team. Talented midfielders like De Bruyne, Silva and Phillips are already in the City squad. If City want to plan long term then they should add a young talented midfielder to the squad. The addition of Toni Kroos to the squad may have strengthened City's performance. But I doubt if he can give service to the team for more than 2/3 years.
The new interests me and since Toni Kroos is a player that has worked with Pep Guardiola with Bayern Munich, moving to Manchester City have a good possibility of happening.
Being 34 means nothing. Toni Kroos, still has that ability to break down defense with his passes. That is something he can bring into Pep Guardiola's side. Besides, they've lost Gundogan and since left, no player has met his standards.

Pep Guardiola already brought in a yougin from Manchester City Academy he ( Lewis ,) is already doing well. Did had a good game against Arsenal but no matured enough in midfied.
I instead believe that Guardiola will be interested in young players that has long future to spend in the club. I also do not think that Guardiola will allow players like Gundigon and Mahrez to leave the club and in the end bring player as old as Toni Kross to play with him. His experience with Toni in Bayern is old enough to be forgotten and dwell on new people and new challenges.
In the other hand, Toni wanted to end his career in Madrid but was persuaded by Madrid management to help the club to play one more season. I am surprised Toni wants to continue playing. It is good and passionate although

I also think Guardiola will plan for the long term. He is an experienced coach. He will not waste money. Manchester City will have to spend a lot of money to add Toni Kroos to the squad. And at the same time it is not sure whether Toni Kross will be able to adapt himself to the Premier League. The Premier League game and the La Liga game are completely different. And so I would say Guardiola should add young talented players to the squad instead of investing money on Toni Kross. As a result, if the young player adapts himself to the team, he will be able to support City for a long time. Adding Toni Kroos to the squad at a high price for only 2 seasons would not be the right decision. However, Manchester City can add Toni Kroos to the squad if the transfer fee is low or a free transfer.

Yeah, it's really bad with a basketball player didn't reach his full potential because of nagging injuries, like Zion in the last 2-3 years wherein he will start the season very healthy and suddenly goes out. Or even Lonzo Ball, we really don't know if he can comeback as himself, although there are players like Klay and KD who make a great comeback after torn meniscus.

So let's just hope that Wemby, with his trainer and strength coach can do wonders with him and prevent him from experiencing a injuries. So it's important as well that his support system is there for him as they have a huge investment on this kid and hope that one day it could reward them by winning championship again for the franchise.

Wemby is currently an asset for the Spurs, but they had a rough last season, so they're eager to come back strong. Injuries are unfortunately a part of the game, and you need some luck to avoid them. Wemby is a big guy, and it seems like big men, when they get injured, tend to have a tougher time coming back quickly. Sometimes, they even need an entire season to heal, just like Davis, or Chet, who missed the entire season when he got injured during a preseason game, if I recall correctly.

Let's cross our fingers that Wemby stays injury-free because injuries can really dampen the excitement and fan expectations. Even though the NBA remains entertaining, it's a different kind of entertainment when all the teams with superstars are healthy and competing throughout the season.

Yes, who will also forget recently, the number 2 draft pick from last season, Chet Holmgren who had a freak accident in last year's pre-season game? We thought that it was just a common injury but it turns out that he had missed the entire season playing at the pre-season.

And so hopefully Wemby will not be the victim of pre-season injury and hold his number 1 draft pick throughout the season and then win the rookie of the year award. Initially we've seen that he had a big impact already to the Spurs. But the real test will be if ever they will make it to the playoffs with him as a rookie leading the Spurs.

Injuries can cause problems for any player in any sport. If a player can stay out of injury, he can actually achieve a lot of things and even a lot of impossible things that he might not have if he got injured. I also really hope that he will be able to stay away from injuries. There have been a lot of players who could have performed far better compared to what they ended up doing just because of injuries. I know I might be a little biased because he is showing good performance right now, but I still think that he will be able to perform really well and achieve great things he can stay away from injuries and continue performing like this.

Manchester city is trying so hard with all their current performance at the UCL and Premier league, discussion hey have caught people's attention so much that they are gradually becoming the favourite for most people both in the UCL and premier league but then until after the knock out stage then I could possibly say for sure if they do have a chance at the UCL again this season or not.
It's true that it's been rea  history to find a team getting the UCL title back to back, but it doesn't mean it's not possible, it's very possible and Manchester city may really want to do such but then this UCL is very competitive at this time with the likes of Arsenal who won them in the premier league if they should meet again at the UCL they are to encounter another difficult moment, there are so much to fave this season of which if they can get through, they could possibly make history with the UCL. Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Arsenal and other bigger teams have to exit before Manchester city can be sure again with the UCL.
If City could win the Champions League again this season it would be a great achievement and I'm sure Guardiola would really like to achieve this goal. But it’s not so easy to do, I see how strong Real is now, I think that if the lot allows this to happen, then Real can meet City in the final and it would be a great final. As for Bayern, Arsenal, Barcelona and other teams, they all have weaknesses that I think will not allow them to reach the final, although the example of Inter in the last final shows that sometimes a luck can allow not the strongest team to reach the final (but Inter were good).
City will become the second team to win back to back UCL trophy after real madrid which was winning UCL three times in a row. it's likely manchester city really needed to have some key players like rodri and de bruyne to win UCL again.
Manchester city can't do that without them all caused by they were the brain of manchester city gameplay. losing them all was giving disastrous performance for manchester city at this moment.
City needs to have its key players back again before it will able to win UCL. City will not able to win UCL again withhout them all.
I learnt about city being interested in signing Kroos. I don't know if it was a joke or there's some truth to it, but it is evidently clear that Kevin D bruye is the powerhouse midfielder that inspires his team to win and Haaland to score more.
His passes is almost as clinical as that of Kroos and if there were a midfielder of such class in the city team now, I would be in support that they can defend their ucl title ad even win it just like real Madrid did.

Manchester City may be interested in Toni Kross. He is a great midfielder. However, Manchester City's midfield is already much stronger now. So I don't think it would be very profitable to add Kross, who is almost 34 years old, to the team. Talented midfielders like De Bruyne, Silva and Phillips are already in the City squad.

Afghanistan will lose today and lose badly. I watched Afghanistan's performance against Bangladesh. The top order played very well. I saw two wickets of Afghanistan till 110 runs. But in the end they gave Bangladesh a target of only 157 runs. And Bangladesh won the match easily. In today's match too, Afghanistan lost their first wicket by 114 runs. And for 123 runs, the team lost three of their top-order batsmen. Rahmanullah Gurbaz was run out like a fool. He was able to collect 80 runs from 57 balls. If Gurbaz stayed at the crease, Afghanistan had the potential for a big score. Now Afghanistan's batsmen are under pressure. Now their batting will be slower.
They are a new team who are playing a 50 over ICC tournament for the first time. As a T20 team they are very competitive whereas as an ODI team they are very new. They have nothing to lose if they don't win today. The amount of experience they are gaining from playing against the top teams in the 50 over match will help them.

Today they started well but have now lost their momentum. They are cointinuosly losing wickets, they have now lost 4 wickets and have 153 runs on the scoreboard. I believe they would be able to cross the 200 runs barrier. That would be far better than what Pakistan has scored yesterday.

Afghanistan team is strong enough. There are several world class players in the squad. Those who have the ability to play big innings. But their main problem is that there is no consistency in the performance of the players. They are also not able to bat responsibly. After scoring 110+ runs in the first wicket pair, the team suddenly lost several wickets. The way they started the innings today, I thought they would give a target of 300+.
Afghanistan collected 207 runs in 39 overs. They lost 6 wickets. Rashid Khan and Ikram are batting now. It seems that the team will be able to deliver a target of 260-280. It was not enough to win against England.

England  vs  Afghanistan

England will play against Afghanistan in today's only match. England are trying to qualify for the semi-finals, so the match is very important for them. England are far behind after losing their first match against New Zealand. But they got a nice win against Bangladesh. England won against Bangladesh by dominating. The situation in Afghanistan is now very weak. Afghanistan are now bottom of the points table after defeats against Bangladesh and India.
I don't think any miracle will happen and Afghanistan will win this match. England's players are back in form. And Afghanistan cannot win against such a strong and experienced team. England team will win today's match with a big margin.
This will be the important match for the team Afghanistan who was in the bottom of the table.Because the England in the fifth places,this game win will help them to move above the Pakistan and South Africa.If the England had won the Afghanistan with more run difference.The England was the strong team like the New Zealand and the winner of the last World Cup.The senior players in the England should take responsibly to score the 350+ runs against the Afghanistan.The bowling of the Afghanistan was good enough,they had good spinners like the team South Africa.So we can’t easy judge the tomorrow game.
England must win this match and there should be no ifs or buts. They lost their match against New Zealand, therefore if they lose today's match too, it will make things a bit difficult for them.
The odds suggest that Afghanistan has no chance in this match. Also, their recent performance suggests the same.


I also thought England would win very easily. Because we have not seen better performance than Afghanistan in the last two matches. But today, Afghanistan is off to a great start. In 17 overs, the team lost only one wicket and collected 115 runs. I don't think Afghanistan's opening pair will get off to such a good start. Rahmanullah Gurbaz is batting very aggressively. He scored 75 runs off 53 balls. Ibrahim Zadran collected 28 runs from 45 balls in the session. If Zadran's strike rate was good, Afghanistan could have collected 130+ in these 17 overs.
Afghanistan are batting well. They have several excellent spin bowlers in their squad. If the target is 300+, it will be difficult for England to win this match. The match will not be one-sided.

Afghanistan will lose today and lose badly. I watched Afghanistan's performance against Bangladesh. The top order played very well. I saw two wickets of Afghanistan till 110 runs. But in the end they gave Bangladesh a target of only 157 runs. And Bangladesh won the match easily. In today's match too, Afghanistan lost their first wicket by 114 runs. And for 123 runs, the team lost three of their top-order batsmen. Rahmanullah Gurbaz was run out like a fool. He was able to collect 80 runs from 57 balls.

Right now I want your important advice on how to convince them.

Stop comparing bitcoin with gold to see which one is better for you to invest in. My question is, your father worked hard to earn money to support your family and you plan to take a small portion of that money to invest in bitcoin? That means it's money spent on daily needs, is it correct that you use money for daily needs to invest in bitcoin? Why don't you make money yourself to invest in bitcoin? Instead you have to take other people's money and convince others to invest in bitcoin. You are a student, I think you have the ability to earn money to take care of yourself rather than depending on your family and now you want to use their money for your own purposes. If you haven't made money yet, don't try to teach someone how to make money.
689  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are We Need Satoshi? on: October 15, 2023, 02:50:24 AM


we don't need Satoshi,

We still need him if he really wants to return to the bitcoin community and continue to grow it. He is the one who created bitcoin, we should respect him, and never say we don't need him. Without him, there would be no bitcoin and we wouldn't be here today. But if he decides he doesn't want to come back or show up anymore, we can continue to exist and thrive without his help. Because he created bitcoin for everyone, not for any individual.
Even if we need Satoshi, the majority of people in the crypto space won't exactly accept anyone who comes out and claims to be Satoshi until he can sign a message with his bitcoin wallet to let everyone know that he is the actual Satoshi.

The person will be doing so in this manner since we have had news of people impersonating to be real Satoshi. 

Back to the question, I don't think Satoshi's existence or whereabouts are important to the crypto community. They desire that he maintain his anonymity.

Frankly, it's clear that bitcoin could have run smoothly for the past 14 years without Satoshi's help, so it's understandable that most people would never care about or need Satoshi's presence. But as I said, we all need to be grateful to him because without him, there would be no bitcoin for us to use. So if he wants to come back to bitcoin then everyone will always welcome him.

As for who is real and who is fake, it is beyond the scope of this topic so we do not need to discuss it. If the real Satoshi appears, he will always have a way to prove he is real.

So I'm asking if it will be good to show any of your family person your seed phrase or should we keep having the secret of your seed phrase personal.



For me, I live and work for my family, not just for myself, so I always trust them and don't hide anything from them. I share important things with my mother and wife and I believe they will preserve it better than me. I think family is more important than money and bitcoins, if I lose them, I will never get them back. But money or bitcoins, they are just assets that we can easily earn back at any time as long as we work hard, it cannot be compared with the sacred love between husband and wife, mother and child.

How many bitcoins do you have that you can't trust your loved ones with?

Now that many people are aware of the upcoming halving and may likely not enter the market the wrong time, whose ignorance will push the price up.


According to a survey, less than 5% of the world's population invests in bitcoin, which means that not too many people know about the upcoming halving that will send bitcoin higher. Only those who have been participating in the market know about this important event, so we should not worry too much that everything is saturated or becomes too predictable. The number of bitcoin investors is nothing compared to other markets, we are still very small.

I believe that as long as the market increases suddenly, there will always be a large number of new investors rushing into the market for speculation purposes and most of them will Fomo buy at high prices while old investors will take profits.

Even though Barcelona is unbeaten so far, that also doesn't mean Barcelona has a guarantee of the La Liga title this season. Because after all, the evidence is that even though Barcelona has not been defeated so far, but why, why Barcelona not at the top in the standings. Because usually, when a team manages to go undefeated, then of course that team is at the top of the standings, but for Barcelona at this moment, Barcelona current position is even below Girona. Therefore, at least there is no definite guarantee for Barcelona to win the La Liga title this season, because the league is still long, of course Real Madrid also has a big chance of maintaining its top position throughout this season.
There's absolutely nothing to worry about when it comes to Barcelona because the team is a top one and associates with fierce energy. Barcelona in good shape despite poor standings below Girona, we know the specified teams that would actually reached significant positions on La Liga table this season and Girona might not be among, starting the league with spectacular energy, it doesn't guarantee they will end up in the top four. Girona lacks consistency to continue their brilliant performance, directly means they have slim probability to survive.
Girona may have started magnificently, but how they will play in the rest is a matter of curiosity. To be honest, my guess right now is that there will be a rivalry between Atletico, Real Madrid and Barça. I believe that the championship will belong to one of these three teams. It's almost guaranteed to be a difficult season.

It's amazing how Girona have been performing this season. No one would have imagined that this team would be at the top of the La Liga table. Out of 9 matches they won 7 matches and lost only one match they are playing very well. But I doubt whether the team can maintain such consistency. I watched Girona's performance against Real Madrid. They don't play well and it's very difficult for teams like Girona to maintain consistency. Only Madrid and Barcelona have been able to play consistently well in La Liga. However, Girona have a good chance of finishing in the top four of the table.

Firstly, children are not aware of spending money. They don't know how to earn money. And how hard it is to make money. All the hobbies of a child from a wealthy family are fulfilled by his parents. And so this child does not understand what lack is. I saw on the news about a kid from India. Who spent around 20 lakh rupees on his father's credit card while playing an online game. And it finds out its bile after several days. And so if children are aware of gambling then such accidents can happen. So we should always be careful. No child should be given more money than necessary. Also one should never gamble in front of children.
We should start to worry when we would see such cases "kid in India spent fathers money" daily. Right this is just 1 case per month or even more rare. And how this case is connected with gambling addiction? Not always online game is a game on a gambling page. This might be just a MMORPG where kids make in-game purchases, by spending parents money on accessories, clothes, pets or boost.

I mean with this incident, kids don't realize how much money they are spending. Spending 20 lakh rupees on just one game is not normal. No adult  would do that. At the same time, when this kid gambles, even if he loses, it won't be a big deal to him. Because he does not know the pain of earning money. He is also unaware of the value of money. He will continue to gamble and lose everything. When you or I gamble we always have a limitation. We never spend money beyond a certain amount. But no kid would do that. This is what I wanted to understand. And so I think gambling matters should be kept hidden from children.

Well it's true that usually children who are still at the age of 7 - 10 years are very happy when playing games, it's quite easy for them to understand and of course they will get pleasure there. As in general and we also may already know that minors have a very high curiosity about whatever they see, if they only see you gambling I think it won't have much effect because they won't understand what you are doing, unless you force the child to follow your gambling and teach it then it is very possible that the things that are feared will happen, even though they have a high enough curiosity but if there is nothing to encourage them then they will not enter the gambling.
You know why else there will be no much effect? Because we adults, gamble if not for fun, then for money. Children at 7-10 or any kid that is not a teenager during puberty does not care about money. At that age their money problems are solved by adults. I doubt that there are any kid at 10yo that thinks that he should throw in 10-20 bucks into a slot machine to make a hundred to buy sweets. Or even if such kids have money from BD presents or Xmas, they dont know how to spend it. That is why "kids that see adults gambling will become addicted gamblers" wont work.

Australia currently 50/3 needing 262 runs from 241 balls. They need a run rate of 6.55 per over, it’s definitely achievable but isn’t going to be easy.
South Africa set them a sizeable target with their innings of 311/7. This is going to be an exciting watch, I urge you to tune in if you can.
It is now 4 wickets that have been lost due to good bowling by the South African bowlers. I do not think they would be able to come back with the current run rate, which is below 5. They are trying to chase a target which according to me is scary to chase on that pitch. This game between these two teams is slowly sliding towards the South African side. Not only bowling, South Africans have been above average on fielding and stopping those boundaries, but they seem to become a much better team as this World Cup progresses.
Australia need a good partnership if they want to win. They are facing an excellent bowling attack, which is only looking to find wickets. The Australian side as per my understanding is trying to play a 20-over match. They might have forgotten that this is a 50-over match Grin. After Maxwell Australia wont be able to chase the target South Africa game them.

Australia will be defeated by at least 170 runs today. It's a shame for a big team like Australia. The team also lost against India by a big margin. India reached the target of victory by losing only 4 wickets in the target of 200 runs given by Australia. Today South Africa set a target of 312 runs descent. But the team faced a batting disaster at the beginning of the innings. They lost 6 batsmen of the top order to collect only 70 runs. Apart from Labuschagne, there is no experienced batsman anymore. No wonder Australia lost all wickets before 100. Australia completely failed to deal with South Africa's bowling attack.

City have the strongest squad in the Premier League. But we haven't seen a good performance from City in the last few matches. As Manchester City are looking to win the title, they need to play better. Manchester City's performance against Arsenal was very disappointing. They did not make any attempt to attack in this match. We do not know why City suddenly played such a strategy. However, the performance of both Brighton and City teams is a bit slow now. They are not playing well. Both teams have lost points in the last two matches. So both will aim to score points in this match. Brighton have been scoring a lot of goals this season. That's why I don't think City will win this match easily.
Yeah, but I consider the last two loses by Manchester CIty were just a bad luck. I believe Manchester City is still the strongest team in Premier League, they might lose few match but they will definitely win the league. As we can see the points of top 6 teams aren't really far, so they will not struggle and it's normal the other teams could overtake them in early season.

Manchester City is the strongest team in the Premier League. But I can't say for sure that they will win the league. Because Manchester City are not only playing for the Premier League title. Their main target is Champions League. And they will fight for the Champions League title. Maintaining consistency in both the Premier League and Champions League is very difficult. However, City managed to win two titles in the last season. But this season it is more difficult because Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool are in good form this season. So it cannot be said for sure that Manchester City will be champions of Premier League.

I would say Afghanistan batted very well. I can't call a target of 273 runs a bad target on this pitch. The average first innings runs on this pitch of Delhi is 230 runs. So the collection of 272 runs for Afghanistan is going to be called a good collection. The average run of the second innings of this pitch is only 207 runs. But it cannot be said that Afghanistan will win. The opponent India is very strong. Even if the pitch is decent enough to target, it is very difficult to win against India. If Afghanistan could provide a target of more than 300 then I would say they have a slim chance of winning. But it will be much more difficult to beat India with a target of 273 runs.
Afghan bowlers now have a job to do, they have to defend a target of 272 against strong Indian batting. To win this game Afghan bowlers need to get early wickets because if players like Sharma and KL got settled then it will be difficult rather impossible to contain them.

Meanwhile India has just started the run chase and after 4 overs they are 23 for no loss. Indian top order batting lineup got derailed in last game that's why they are extra careful today.

Afghanistan team is going to accept a shameful defeat today as in the first match. This group is not weak. They have some very talented and world class players. Even then they are not doing well. We saw poor batting by Afghanistan against Bangladesh. Today we are seeing poor bowling from Afghanistan against India. India collected 96 runs in 11 overs without losing any wicket. Afghanistan has no chance of scoring in this match. Rohit Sharma scored 78 runs off just 45 balls. Ishan Kishan is batting with responsibility. He collected 12 runs off 22 balls. I wouldn't be at all surprised if India win without losing a wicket today.

After the last 2 matches must lose, Manchester City will host Brighton in the upcoming match. Brighton also has the status of not an easy opponent to beat, they play well even though the last 2 matches they also struggled and had to lose and draw. Manchester City must not underestimate them in this match, if they do then Brighton has the potential to give them 3 defeats in a row. The absence of KDB affects their attack line, yes now they are a little difficult in building attacks and providing passes that spoil their attackers.
Man City have lost three of their last five games, although they did very well against Leipzig in the UCL... But still they are having bad results now... Brighton are not playing very well either and even got seriously humiliated by Villa... But I still think City will win at home... Last match with City Brighton played at home in a draw... I think they will lose this away game...

City have the strongest squad in the Premier League. But we haven't seen a good performance from City in the last few matches. As Manchester City are looking to win the title, they need to play better. Manchester City's performance against Arsenal was very disappointing. They did not make any attempt to attack in this match. We do not know why City suddenly played such a strategy. However, the performance of both Brighton and City teams is a bit slow now. They are not playing well. Both teams have lost points in the last two matches. So both will aim to score points in this match. Brighton have been scoring a lot of goals this season. That's why I don't think City will win this match easily.

Indian bowling has been outstanding on a batting surface. I was watching Kuldeep bowling his last over and I was surprised to see him turning the ball. Sir Jadeja has not been able to dent the batting of the Afghanistan team. He was very successful against Australia where he took 3 wickets. Considering the experience of the Afghanistan team in a 50-over match, they are playing very well.
Azmatullah Omarzai batting brilliant and departs for Scoring 62(69) against India after a brilliant partnership more then 100 runs with Hashmatullah Shahidi. Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi is back in the pavilion after a remarkable 80 runs in 88 balls. Hashmatullah batting put Afghanistan in a good position after three early wickets. Jasprit Bumrah wraps up a fantastic spell, collecting four wickets 4/39 in 10 Overs and Kuldeep Yadav delivers a brilliant spin masterclass in Delhi with a big wicket of Afghanistan's  captain Nabi in his last over 1/40.

I would say Afghanistan batted very well. I can't call a target of 273 runs a bad target on this pitch. The average first innings runs on this pitch of Delhi is 230 runs. So the collection of 272 runs for Afghanistan is going to be called a good collection. The average run of the second innings of this pitch is only 207 runs. But it cannot be said that Afghanistan will win. The opponent India is very strong. Even if the pitch is decent enough to target, it is very difficult to win against India. If Afghanistan could provide a target of more than 300 then I would say they have a slim chance of winning. But it will be much more difficult to beat India with a target of 273 runs.
