Speaking in Davos on Wednesday, JPMorgan CEO and also a well-known bitcoin critic Jamie Dimon made a suggestion that Satoshi Nakamoto might lift the limit on the number of bitcoins, which as we know is 21 million BTC. How would you comment on such a statement? Referring to the limited supply of Bitcoin, which is to mirror the properties of gold, Dimon said he doubted the finality of the 21 million Bitcoin supply maximum, saying: "I think there's a good chance, when we get to that 20 million bitcoins...Satashi [sic] is going to come on there, laugh hysterically, go quiet, and all Bitcoins [are] going to be erased. How the hell [do] you know it’s going to stop at 21?"
Bitcoin is fully decentralized and it is fundamentally created so that only 21 million Bitcoins will ever be created. I don't know if this is possible and on the other hand if the person or group named Sotoshi is still alive. And do they have the ability to edit Bitcoin since it is built to be decentralized. And all Bitcoin users know that the supply of Bitcoin is limited, so if the limit is increased, it is a big question whether people will have such confidence in Bitcoin. Basically, we don't need Satoshi but need community consensus if we want to change the bitcoin supply limit. But you're right, if this happens then people will no longer trust bitcoin because if they can change it once they can do it many times. So I think that even if it was proposed by Satoshi, not too many people would agree because it would reduce the credibility of bitcoin. Personally, I would not support the idea of increasing the supply of bitcoin, the scarcity of bitcoin is the beauty that makes it completely different from the rest of the assets. If we break that, we are destroying bitcoin. |

One of the first way to reduce poverty is to create a job for yourself or to engage yourself into something that will generate money for you. Bitcoin doesn't make people to be rich or give people money without investing in it. You need to get money of your own , then Bitcoin will assist to increase your money if it is invested as a longterm investment. If you depend on Bitcoin without having any financial income for yourself you may not get what you want from bitcoin. Generate income , then you invest in bitcoin then you will gain more money from bitcoin, only if you can be able to hodl.
To put it frankly, bitcoin is an investment and we need money to invest, and whether it is profitable or not depends on each person's ability . Bitcoin is not a company or organization that creates jobs for us or prints money to give to us for free . We need to have the right view about bitcoin, don't be too delusional and dream that bitcoin is a god that will help us escape poverty or become rich without even trying . Bitcoin is just money and to have money we need to work, it is not a panacea that can help eliminate hunger and reduce poverty, bring peace to the world ... |

Hello everyone, I'm new to cryptocurrency and I was able to earn 8,000$ in btc, and I keep all the money on binance, but I heard that binance blocks accounts. Please advise me of a reliable crypto wallet to store this money, who can recommend a really good wallet, I can transfer you 200$. Please write to my telegram @leaneek
If you found this forum, it means you can also search for information about bitcoin storage wallets on google easily without having to spend 200 USD. So you're more of a suspect than a newbie trying to find help here. I hope my and everyone else's suspicions about you are wrong but if you came here to scam, I think you have failed. Bulls season is approaching and many topics aimed at luring newbies into scam projects and luring newbies into scam traps are springing up like mushrooms. I urge newbies to be as vigilant as possible and not greedy to avoid falling prey to scammers. |

I think OP didn't mean it like that , he just wanted to say that using bitcoin as a means of payment is not appropriate and it is more suitable to use as an investment .
Even that idea from the op is very wrong, BTC is p2p electronic cash that is censorship resistant and permissionless, it was created to be used as a payment method and using it that way means you are promoting its original use case. Due to growth BTC now has many use cases and i understand that too many people want to make returns from storing it for a long time, but that should not take away the reason why it was created, which is for it to be a currency that's controlled by nobody. I think right or wrong depends on each person. I also don't see anything wrong with the OP not wanting to use bitcoin as a payment method these days. Although bitcoin was originally created to be a peer-to-peer currency, with current developments such as high transaction fees, long transaction confirmation times...Do you think bitcoin is suitable to become a popular payment method? Furthermore, many people are trying to criticize the OP for not supporting the use of bitcoin as a payment method but i want to know. How many people here have used bitcoin as currency or just talked about it but have never done it just once, including you? |

Mourinho needed more time to get Roma back on track but unfortunately it appears Roma didn't have such patience and luxury of time and they wanted almost instant results, he has been with the team since the beginning of the season so they considered it enough time to have done much better, I still trust his skills because he's experienced when it comes to European football, all that he need would have been more time and resources to build the kind of team he would have been able to work with.
De Rossi isn't as experienced as Roma and I hope considering that the management of Roma wouldn't be expecting so much from him in such a short period of time before the end of the season because he may not be able to achieve much as he may say he's got no much time before the end of the season.
Well the sack of Jose has jeopardized lots of achievements they could have probably achieved in this season. Jose has a versatile of experience in European competitions and him being out is more like Roma getting kicked out early in the competition.The mew coach yes might be good but I don’t think he has the experience of knockout stages in Europe, well I don’t think he’ll be able to do well with them. José Mourinho needed time and players but the board weren’t interested in that and got him out. Well its De Rossi on the wheels, another great player turn coach; let’s hope he won’t tow the part of Frank Lampard, Rooney and Gerrard and he’ll probably get something good from this Roma side just like Xabi Alonso is doing at Bayer Leverkusen currently. I doubt it though but we never can tell till it starts manifesting Well, I definitely thought that they would give him a chance till the end of the season. Because for a coach to succeed, he needs a lot of time. Some coaches even need three/four years actually have good achievements with their team. But the authority of Roma definitely seems to not like the idea. Probably they have thought about the third year of Jose being with Roma. But whatever it is, at the moment it seems like a bad decision. It can definitely be turned into a good decision if they actually start performing well. But I highly doubt that they will. |

You are right Messi's amazing performance in Qatar World Cup Argentina team course every player including Scaloni has done great to become champion in 2022. There is no official information yet on whether Messi will play in the 2026 World Cup, but it is expected that Messi can play in the 2026 World Cup. And if the 2026 World Cup participates, it will definitely be very positive for the Argentina team. Because Messi is current and performing well even though he is getting older day by day but the performance of his game is that he is playing well everywhere. So it is expected that if Messi is physically fit then he will play in 2026 World Cup and if he is not physically fit then he will not play.
Possibility for Lionel Messi will play in World Cup 2026 depend on his condition first injury or not but he has on the top level performance although playing with less competitive league such as MLS. No doubt with Lionel Messi contribution for Argentina winning FIFA World Cup 2022 trophy in Qatar but I think don't blame with Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni. Still not any update progress with internal conflict between Lionel Messi and Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni and waiting about his position defend or not. Actually playing with Inter Miami in MLS League not get huge pressure and not participants in many competition such as European teams, seems Lionel Messi will be ready for World Cup 2026 if his physical fit and not get injury. Even if Lionel Messi is actually healthy for the next World Cup, Messi might be able to keep his health condition for the next world Cup however I really wonder if he truly be able to play any significant role for Argentina's next World Cup. Yes, we could say he has a really very successful career in his football life, that's why we could find him very motivated for next WC. Thus he is still motivated so without any doubt he could be able to play a major role if he remains healthy. Now this is the main thing, if he is motivated, then comes the question of him being healthy. You know he is a player who always plays carefully. So I think he will be able to stay healthy. But I still think he is going to be more like a mentor for the Argentina squad in the next World Cup instead of being someone like a teammate. |

Maybe Arsenal is experiencing conditions similar to last season. Even this season I think it's worse. Because last season we saw Arsenal still ranked at the top in the middle of the season. And dropped to 2nd place at the end of the season. Arteta seems to have to rebuild the squad. More thorough preparations must be made for next season. But this season there is something different, namely Arsenal will fight in the last 16 of the UCL. So Arsenal's goals may be much bigger this season. But with the current conditions, it is natural that doubts are starting to creep in among all Arsenal fans.
against Crystal Palace shouldn't be a big deal. But maybe Arsenal will find it difficult to score many goals. Arsenal will probably win but with a narrow score.
Everything seems to be like a big deal to Arsenal right now because both at the FA Cup and the Premier league, they have not really performed up to par. The last four previous matches were not pleasing at all for the club as they failed to win their matches against Liverpool, which was a draw in the Premier leaague, they also failed to win against West Ham with a 0 - 2 lost to West Ham in the Premier league, another failure to win against Fulham with a 2 over 1 in the Premier league, with the fourth failure against Liverpool again in the FA Cup to 0 - 2. What hope do you have over them winning Crystal Palace this time around? Besides in their last fixturings they have not impressively won over Crystal Palace too. They have been draws and lost to Crystal Palace in between their last 5 fixtures. Now Arsenal have dropped down to the 4th position in the table standing with 40 points and 5 point difference between the table leads who are the Liverpool. I'm not happy with this result at all as the late crippling misperformance of the Arsenal. Could it be that the squad is weak and can't perform up to the ranks. Actualy Arsenal has not been performing well in recent times. You know they have not been able to get a single win in the last three matches, another thing is they have only one win in the last five matches. That is definitely not ideal for Arsenal. But the thing is they will be playing against Crystal Palace in the next match. And I think arsenal should be able to win the match easily. Because you know Crystal Palace has not been able to perform consistently in this season. Even though Crystal Palace has been able to win the last match, they have only one win in the last five and the last match is the only win that they got in that time period. So I believe arsenal should have this. They should get three points from this match. |

for now, i don't think casimero has the chance to fight inoue, considering in the next 6 months or a year. there will be other boxers in line before him. but i do agree, there are so many boxing fans waiting for this match. just think of the thread here before dedicating for these 2. we had a long discussion but didn't come to reality. as they are claiming before that inoue was quite scared of casimero's strength inside the ring. well, we haven't seen them yet inside the ring. so that is yet to be seen.
There are a lot of fans waiting for someone to knock Inoue out. But even if we want to see that happen someday, if he's on his prime and he don't want to accept offers outside his home country then we just better accept the fact that he's always at advantage. For fighters like Casimero, it doesn't matter if he's gonna have the fight inside or outside the host country. What matters to him is that he should fight him soon. Well, he's been mentioned by the Inoue's camp that he's likely to get boxed at the end of this year. But it's still a long time and we'll see the development of it. I think Inoue is about in his prime at this stage, in his 30's and we all know that is the age wherein boxer are really performing at a high level and so it's really hard to see how someone can beat Inoue even John Riel Casimero, who is about to hit his sunset at he is in the mid 30's if I'm not mistaken. And perhaps this is the reason why he keep on calling Inoue because he knows that in the next couple of years, he will be in the decline. Unfortunately, he has nothing to offer to Inoue, he doesn't have the belt, all his wins in 122 lbs are not that convincing. While Nery has been campaigning here for years and in the top of the division and correct me if I'm wrong, he is the mandatory challenger for one of Inoue's belt and that's why they said that they are going to fight him first after winning all the belts at super bantam. I understand why people are actually wanting to see Inoue get knocked out by someone. I have not seen him lose a single fight. then I went to Google to see if he had actually ever lost. But he actually never lost in his career if I'm not wrong. I actually saw his last 5 fights. I saw him being very impressive. Actually I was a little ignorant because I had not seen him fight previously before his last five fights. But now I am going to see most of his fights. Maybe educate myself as well. But I can say that from the fights that I have seen him do, he is certainly very impressive. And it is easy to be hated when you have not lost any fight. I think that's the stage he is at right now in his career. |

The only mistake when you invest in Bitcoin is, you don't want to sell or spend it.  Let's accumulate Bitcoin, you work very hard when you were young and you try to invest as much as you can. When you 20's you have 1 BTC, when you 30's you have 10 BTC, when you 40's you have 100 BTC, when you 50's you have 1K BTC, when you 60's you have 10K BTC and then you dead without enjoying your own hardwork. It's the life that you want? I think OP didn't mean it like that , he just wanted to say that using bitcoin as a means of payment is not appropriate and it is more suitable to use as an investment . But there are a lot of people who have the wrong mindset you're talking about. Many people become so addicted and worship bitcoin that they just accumulate and hold as much as possible. They don't intend to spend it for life, and they want to keep it for the next 30 to 50 years . But I want to ask if they can live until then ? LOL. Bitcoin is just money , a tool to serve our lives, it is not a religion or god but for us to serve and worship it more than necessary . |

I don't see much difference between bitcoin, gold and land. I think they all have different pros and cons. In comparing the three, I sometimes find it better to buy gold, sometimes invest in Bitcoin instead of gold. Again, it seems that as urbanization is happening, let's buy some land. So many times I can't understand myself, which one is good for the future. Basically a good profit can be made from it only if the right decision is taken while investing. However I am invested in Bitcoin, planning to invest more in the future.
In essence, each investment has its own advantages and disadvantages. Like Bitcoin, Gold and land certainly have different characteristics. Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency with a high risk of price fluctuations, it will be very risky if you can't manage it well. Gold as a precious stone that has a high selling price and the price always rises, but gold fluctuations are very slow, you will get a long enough profit and can be used as a safe haven asset. Land included in the property can also be land and buildings and has a selling price that continues to rise. Trying to invest in all these assets is an option for investors, but if you want to own them all, then there is nothing wrong. It was a good choice for the future, owning Bitcoin assets that would experience tremendous gains when the bulls arrived and backed with valuable assets like gold and land that provided huge profits in the future. Yes , all three are good assets and all have their pros and cons. If someone is rich enough, it is best to own all three to diversify assets, and diversification is a good thing to do when investing. But if we are not rich and don't have a lot of money then I think bitcoin should be the choice. Bitcoin may not be the safest option out of these three, but it is certainly the one that can yield the best returns. I will choose bitcoin to increase capital first , then I will think about diversifying into the remaining 2 asset classes. |

We've all been there, that moment of realization when you remember selling your precious Bitcoins years ago and wonder if you missed the boat. Well, take a deep breath, because im here to remind you that in the world of crypto, time is always on our side! The answer to the question has been asked in the title. Yes, I have regret selling my Bitcoin. I entered the market in the last bull run and bought Bitcoin at the 50K to 60K range and then I didn't cash out my profit when it touched the ATH. I have waited and then the bear market begins! I didn't sell it at that moment because I wanted to hold it for as long as I could. I didn't know that Bitcoin might fall back to a price range like 15K anytime soon. But that happened. Bitcoin touched the 15K range and I still tried to hold my Bitcoin tight. However, due to some personal reasons, I had to sell my Bitcoin at the 18-20K range while I was 70% down. I had some financial problems which was the reason I sold my holdings. But I am glad that I have acquired a good portion of Bitcoin at the 27K range and now we are in the 42K range. Cutting losses or selling bitcoin earlier than expected is something no one wants, but I think if we sell bitcoin to solve a more important job, there is nothing to regret. You should think more positively that if you don't have that bitcoin, where will you get the money to solve that emergency situation? So I think you should look on the bright side and not regret cutting your bitcoin losses. For me, I have never regretted anything in this market from selling bitcoin early, participating in scam projects...all are valuable experiences and lessons. Thanks to those lessons, I become more and more mature and earn more money in the market. |

Zimbabwe Women vs Ireland Women
The first ODI match of Ireland Women tour to Zimbabwe Women competition is playing on crease which is Ireland Women against Zimbabwe women sqaud. Zimbabwe women squad has started this match first batting inning by inviting of Ireland Women sqaud. If we see score dashboard of Zimbabwe women squad then their batting inning performance is not ongoing to be fantastic after playing almost 19 overs on crease Zimbabwe sqaud collected only 62 scores with lost of three batters. If their batting inning performance continues like this until last over they would not able to collect good scores and they will likely reach around 150 scores. Kelis Ndhlovu batter and Ashley Ndiraya batter both these are batting on crease and tried their good batting skills for accumulate good scores for sqaud victory.
The match is still on hold. Because there is a rain delay going on right now. Zimbability women have scored 170. I think they should have scored a lot more. Because in a 44 over match, it is going to be really hard for them to actually defend the target successfully. But again the opponent is Ireland women. So they might actually be able to defend the total. Anyway, right now there is a rain delay going on. So it is still not sure if the match will actually be played or not. We might have a no result. But I hope that we do get a result. But at the same time, if at least 20 overs are not played, it is going to be pretty disappointing. We do not want to see a match being played for only 10/15 overs for the chase. |

Australian batsmen are not batting well either. Australian batsmen are also facing a lot of trouble to score runs as the pitch is bowling friendly. Australia lost two wickets in 15 overs and managed to collect 43 runs. Australia team is still behind West Indies by 143 runs.
2 wickets gone in quick succession, looks like the pitch favors bowlers. Marnus Labuschagne was out for only 10 runs before Smith got out for 12 runs and both wickets were taken by Shamar Joseph. WI has got the initial breakthrough and two good batters are back in the pavilion now they need to continue their attack. Australia still trailing by 136 runs and it does seem that the Australian batting is struggling to get those runs. The betting odds favour Australia and they still have batters left to get those runs. The pitch is not batting friendly, it was understood in the first innings of West Indies. At the end of the first day, Australia lost 2 wickets and collected 59 runs. The Australian team is still 129 runs behind the West Indies. Opener Usman Khawja is batting very responsibly. Usman Khawaja remains unbeaten with 30 runs. Also Cameroon Green is batting very carefully. He is unbeaten with 6 runs from 22 balls. If these two batsmen can do well in the early next day, I would say Australia can collect around 300. And if Australia start losing wickets at the beginning of the day, then maybe Australia will lose all wickets within 200-230. It will be very difficult to score 300 runs on this pitch. |

If Liverpool want to win the title, they must win consistently. Liverpool is now only 2 points ahead of Manchester City. Losing a point in a match would also see Liverpool lose top spot in the table. This is why every match now is very important for Liverpool.
Changes in position from first to fifth can still occur because the difference in points is very small. Liverpool is under pressure from Manchester City with a difference of two points, a defeat suffered by Liverpool in the next match makes it lose first position if Manchester City manages to win the match in the same week. This season's EPL competition is more competitive than last season, Tottenham, who is in fifth place, has the same points as Arsenal, who is in fourth place. Arsenal must win the match in Week 21 to stay away from Tottenham and catch up with the points collected by Aston Villa. Manchester City which is starting to find its best playing form, is trying to reach the top of the standings from Liverpool. The difference of two points with Liverpool makes the competition at the top of the standings even more exciting. I agree with you. Every team from first to fourth place in the table has a chance to top the points table. Liverpool at the top of the table have collected 45 points from 20 games, and fourth placed Arsenal are now 5 points behind Liverpool. It's not a big gap. Premier League teams are very strong. So it will not be possible for Liverpool and Manchester City to win every match consistently. It is normal that they will lose points in some matches. So Arsenal and Aston Villa have the potential to top the table. But for this, their overall performance needs to be strengthened. But I think Liverpool and Manchester City will stay in the title fight this season until the end of the season. |

So true, de bruyne has magic to make city played very well even in only a half of game. We have seen that how big his contribution even when he was playing from the bench. Manchester city is just getting better and better. There are so many people are aware about this too.
Manchester city is always cooking it. I can expect city to be as good as last season once haaland and stones will be there. We are only waiting the recovery of haaland which is not time consuming like de bruyne.
Pep has been also telling us if haaland is likely to comback again next month. The hype for manchester city will be much bigger if haaland will rejoin in the club again. The chance to win the UCL in a row becomes even bigger too.
Liverpool needs to lost some points to make city to go up again. It's cuased by manchester city will never able to surpass liverpool if klopp's squad keeps get good result in EPL. The club needs to miss some matches.
Yes, De Bruyne is like the most important part of Manchester City because he has almost the same intelligence as Haaland and even though De Bruyne is only a midfielder, his talent for finishing is always precise and on the one hand De Bruyne is one of the players who has strong chemistry with Haaland So the last few matches without the presence of these two players made Manchester City look bad. After De Bruyne returned everything got better and we are just waiting for the happy news after Haaland arrives and we will look again at the competition for first place and I am sure that the return of Haaland and De Bruyne can get rid of Liverpool and can even have a big chance again to get the title in the champions league . Let's be Frank, KDB look like Haaland missing rib at Man City  I won't be surprised if Haaland bag an hat trick in the game both of them will play after his return since he is such an hungry player for goals and needs more for a player of his calibre. Haaland is a fantastic player. He has a lot of scoring ability. Last season we saw great performances from the Haaland-De Bruyne duo. The consistent good performances of these two players led Manchester City to dominate the Champions League and Premier League last season to win the title. However, due to the injury of these two players this season, City's performance is a bit slow. With De Bruyne back from injury, Haaland now faces injury. Again, we don't know when we will see the performance of the Haaland-De Bruyne pair. After De Bruyne returned everything got better and we are just waiting for the happy news after Haaland arrives and we will look again at the competition for first place and I am sure that the return of Haaland and De Bruyne can get rid of Liverpool and can even have a big chance again to get the title in the champions league .
Liverpool will be having the hit now and of they can continue to be consistent and avoid losing or drawing matches then it's all good for them though this won't be easy but if they really want to win the league title, this is want they need because as it seems City are no longer sleeping or struggling while Arsenal has already lost the race to me If Liverpool want to win the title, they must win consistently. Liverpool is now only 2 points ahead of Manchester City. Losing a point in a match would also see Liverpool lose top spot in the table. This is why every match now is very important for Liverpool. |

Australia vs West Indies, 1st Test
West indies has been playing the inning but But they have only one player left to bat and the score is still 187. Australia is the father of cricket, Australia prefromance of batting and bowling both side are well . Australia two bowler took 8 wickets Hazlewood he took 4 wickets by giving 44 run in 15 overs and P Cummins he took also 4 wickets by giving 41 run in 17 overs . West Indies batsmen could not stay at the crease for long against Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins. West Indies' innings stopped at just 188 runs. McKenzie scored a maximum of 50 runs. Hazlewood and Cummins took 4 wickets each. I had higher expectations from the West Indies batsmen. I did not think that they will not be able to collect even 200 runs. Australian batsmen are not batting well either. Australian batsmen are also facing a lot of trouble to score runs as the pitch is bowling friendly. Australia lost two wickets in 15 overs and managed to collect 43 runs. Australia team is still behind West Indies by 143 runs. |

The performance of Girona players was not good from the start of this match. Everyone expected Girona to win. Because Almeria is the last team in the points table. And Girona is very strong this season. I wouldn't say Girona lost because of Aleix Garcia's red card. Girona's performance was poor from the start of the match. Garcia received a red card in the 80th minute. Even before 80 minutes we did not see a good performance from Girona players. Girona's performance in this match was very slow. We don't know why there is such a sudden decline in their performance. Have Girona's players lost confidence? That's what I think. Because this team performed well against Elche and Atletico Madrid. Suddenly their performance dropped against a weak team like Almeria.
It's crazy to see Girona humiliated by Almeria which currently at the bottom position in La Liga, but in terms head to head, Almeria is better than Girona. At least Girona didn't lose in this match, if they lose this match, it could be one of biggest upset in this year. I hope Girona can comeback in their good perform, I want to see a new champion in La Liga lol. I will be very happy if Girona can make a comeback. Because if Girona can't make a comeback, then this season we will only see the dominance of Real Madrid. Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are far behind in the title race. Now if the Girona team goes down, Real Madrid will easily win the title and La Liga will become completely one-sided. However, Girona's attack and defense are very strong. Let's see if Girona can make a comeback. I would say Girona's players need to work harder now. Then maybe they can play consistently well again. They have shown that Girona have the ability to perform well. |

Sri Lanka are playing like crap at the moment. They are self-destructing since they already lost 3 wickets for 20 runs which is embarassing considering the fact that their opponent is Zimbabwe.
Looks like the underdog could end up winning the second T-20 as long as they continue putting pressure on the Lankans in this manner.
Although Sri Lanka were under a lot of pressure early on but Angela Mathews and Asalanka are trying to increase the score for Sri Lanka. However, Sri Lanka is trying to play a bit more aggressively after 10 overs. So far 78 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 13 overs without the fall of any more wickets. But with Angela Mathews facing the number of balls in a defensive mood, it's time for her to play an aggressive innings. Angela Mathews remains unbeaten on 20 off 32 balls while Asalanka remains unbeaten on 35 off 27 balls. Sri Lanka are playing very well and have scored 145 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 17 overs. This time P nissanka and K perera did not perform well with the bat and were dismissed for zero runs. Now C Asalanka and Mathews are playing batting. Asalanka are playing well he made 69 run in just 38 balls they complete hafl century If Asalanka continues to perform like this, I hope he can give a target of 170 run plus which will be a very tough target for Zimbabwe. Asalanka and Mathews showcased their skills in the match. Asalanka scored 69 runs off 39 balls, while Mathews unbeaten with 66 runs off 51 balls. Angelo Mathews played a crucial innings, lifting Sri Lanka to a solid total. Mathews has been a key player in the last matches and continued to carry the team's burden today. Without the impressive performances from Asalanka and Mathews, Sri Lanka might have struggled to reach even 100 runs. Their comeback innings has set up Sri Lanka well with a total of 173/6, which should be sufficient to confirm the series tonight. Sri Lanka team has given a big target of 174 runs today. Despite the poor performance of the top order players, they managed to collect 173 runs. Asalanka played an excellent innings of 69 runs off 39 balls. Mathews also collected 66 runs off 51 balls. Due to the responsible batting of these two batsmen, Sri Lanka has been able to provide a big target. Sri Lanka lost 4 of their batsmen to collect only 27 runs. Sri Lanka collected 118 runs from Mathews-Asalanka pair. It is very unlikely that Zimbabwe will win this big target. But the pitch is batting friendly. If the batsmen bat responsibly and stay at the crease, the match will be competitive. |

Utah Jazz defeated Indiana at home and continues its superb performance. Match score 132-105
Indiana could only show resistance in the last period.
With this win, Utah rose to 9th place. The next victim will be Golden State in two days.
In the other match I was following, Los Angeles Lakers defeated Oklahoma on their home field. With a score of 112-105. The magnificent trio contributed well to the team in terms of scoring. (Lebron, Anthony, D'Angelo)
The match was competitive. The first half ended with a score of 50-50. The breaking point of the match was the 3rd period. When the Los Angeles Lakers opened the gap in the 3rd period, Oklahoma could not close the gap in the last period and the defeat was inevitable.
Utah Jazz has been performing really well in recent times. They have shown great performance. And if we talk about the last match, I have to say that they have shown a great performance. And they have been able to win this match pretty easily. Indiana Pacers have also shown a below per performance in this match. They had to do better. At least one player had to perform really well in this match for Indiana Pacers. But that was not the case. None of them had an explosive performance which could save them. And let's be honest, Indiana Pacers were pretty disheartened by the time they had reached the 4th quarter. They were already so much behind in terms of points, that it was almost impossible for them to recover. And the third quarter made the difference a lot more before going to the 4th quarter. |

In the match between Almería and Girona, neither team could score any goals. But Girona team player A. García got 1 red cards in 80 minutes. However, both teams played very well. I thought Girona team would win the match but Girona team won the match. Couldn't score a goal. Girona team is in 1st position on the points table while Almería team is in 20th position. Girona team's players had a bad performance in the match for which Girona team didn't succeed in scoring any goals.
Everyone thought Girona will won the match, but after the red card i gave up on Girona. The both teams play well, in fact, Almeria played so well against Girona that I can't even recall that they are currently in 20th place in the table. Girona was given a difficult time and failed to score any goals, but Almeria played so well that they had a chance to win the game if they hadn't missed their first half opportunities. I believe Almeria may escape the relegation zone if they play like that in their coming games. The performance of Girona players was not good from the start of this match. Everyone expected Girona to win. Because Almeria is the last team in the points table. And Girona is very strong this season. I wouldn't say Girona lost because of Aleix Garcia's red card. Girona's performance was poor from the start of the match. Garcia received a red card in the 80th minute. Even before 80 minutes we did not see a good performance from Girona players. Girona's performance in this match was very slow. We don't know why there is such a sudden decline in their performance. Have Girona's players lost confidence? That's what I think. Because this team performed well against Elche and Atletico Madrid. Suddenly their performance dropped against a weak team like Almeria. |
