Australia Women's Team vs India Women's Team India Women's Team batting today in the fourth day's match. We saw that Australia women's team took the field against India yesterday and fulfilled the target set by India and gave India a lead of 75 runs. Today India team is going to meet that target and come out on a huge field and already they have lost an important wicket, India Women's batsman Shafali Verma got out early so today's match may be under a bit of pressure. However, they can easily fill the lead provided by Australia women's team because Australia could not give much target. And if Australia women team can perform well against India then India can put pressure on women team, but I think India women team will definitely succeed in meeting their target in today's match.

Had Australia set a target of 200, they would have won. It would have been difficult for the India women's team to score as many as 200 runs in the last innings. But the Australia women's team could not provide a big target. They have been able to provide a target of only 75 runs. None of Australia's last 5 batsmen could collect up to 10 runs. India women's team now collects 29 runs with the loss of 1 wicket. Only 46 more runs needed to win. No wonder India reached the target of victory without losing any more wickets.

Even with the contract extension for Osimhen and new manager, I still think if there's a club willing to sign him right now, he would leave without blinking, mostly when it is to a top flight club like Real Madrid or Chelsea which has been rumoured to want to sign the striker..
He is a definitive player and a striker of class who just won the African player award. There's a lot still for him to prove about his worth and value and Napoli has only seen just a fraction of the potential he has to offer, hence why he should transfer out of the club in the January windows if possible.
The January transfer window is fast approaching and there's certainly expected and unexpected deals that will be pulled throigh. Taking my eyes on the transfer is definitely my target and I would really love to see Victor Osimhen wear the blues jersey. He will fit into the system perfectly without any struggles, afterall he's one of the brilliant attacker in football and have always been his dream to play for an EPL top side. Victor Osimhen have remained one of the essential attacke for Napoli over the past season and I must compliment his efforts, he's doing a good job to enable his team frontline remained active and become a solid attacking force and main threat to oppositions.

I also agree with @Bananington. Current position of Napoli is not very good and that doesn’t ensure that he will be able to become a big player who will win big things. But with other clubs, he can achieve that. He can win more than Serie A and probably one day Champions League.

I am pretty sure some team from the English Premier League and La Liga will be willing to sign him. Real Madrid currently are lacking a forward, so it makes me think they might approach him in the January transfer. But we haven't heard any rumors regarding him leaving. There is a chance he might complete this season under Napoli, and then join another team for next season. Personally, I don't want him to join the current Manchester United or Chelsea squad because the new players who join that team, their performance just declines and they get lost.

Everton are looking to be in their best form at the moment as they had won 4 games in a row in the English Premier League without conceding a single goal. The defense of Everton are looking very strong and I think Tottenham might not be able to break down Everton and this match will ends up with a draw at the final whistle.
The both team need winning badly, Tottenham Hotspur need the win to accumulate more point to be stable while Everton need win to be stable too because they can not afford to lose any game now both home and away, Everton last five matches are incredible and I believe in them with the spirit of winning that even though they did not win, they will draw, if Everton win they will improve in there stand.

Although Tottenham won the last two home matches against  Everton by dominating, but I can't say for sure whether Tottenham can win today's match. Tottenham's defeat is also likely.
Everton have won all of their last four matches. They  have managed to  defeat teams like Nottingham Forest, Newcastle, Chelsea and Burnley. On the other hand, although the Tottenham team is strong,  their performances are now  very erratic. Everton players are very confident now. That's why I doubt whether Tottenham can get 3 points in today's match.

India managed to collect 406 runs in their first innings. So Australia must score 450+ runs in the second innings if they want to win.
After losing the first wicket for 49 runs, the Australian team lost the second wicket for 56 runs. Australia did not get a better performance than the two openers. But now Ellyese Perry and Tahlia McGrath are batting very responsibly. Perry scored 35 off 65 balls and McGrath remained unbeaten on 27 off 59 balls. After losing 2 wickets, Australia's collection is now 119 runs. Still behind India by 68 runs.
I was thinking that hardly the Indian women team will reach to 350 runs but Pooja Vastrakar and Deepti Sharma both bowlers pull the score above 400. Pooja Vastrakar Also collected 4 wickets in first innings.
And now Australian women team is playing. They have lost 3 wickets on 142 runs they have trial of 45 runs. I think Australia will give almost 150 runs lead to India and I hope that India will chase that target easily. India needs to collect more wickets if they want to win this match.

My estimate was that India's innings would stop between 300-350. But the performance of Australia's bowlers was not good. Due to responsible batting by Deepti Sharma and Pooja, India scored a huge total of 406. The Indian team was able to take a huge lead of 187 runs. If Australia can't give at least 250+ target then their chances of winning are very slim. Because Indian batsmen are very confident now. Chances are high that they will play well in the second innings as well.
Ellyse Perry was dismissed for 46 runs. Australia lost their third wicket for 140 runs. Australia team is still behind India by 31 runs.

One off test Australia women om 41/0 in 10 overs Aus-W are trail by 146 runs and 1st session going on of day 3 indian women playing excellent in 1st inning made 406 runs and lead by 187 runs to Australia women. india women most chances to win this match because they are playing on their home and lead many runs in 1st innings Aus-W need to play fasy on day 3 and save his wickets and gave target 340 plus runs to indian women to won this match the way they are playing match should have been drawn
Australia are at 63/2 and they still need another 124 runs to avoid an innings defeat. They just lost two quick wickets - that of Beth Mooney and Phoebe Litchfield. As of now, Ellyse Perry and Tahlia McGrath are at the crease against the Indian spinners. And for India, it is spin from both the ends. Deepti Sharma and Sneh Rana are up against Perry and McGrath. Outcome of the match is pretty clear as of now. Only question is whether Australian women will be able to avoid an innings defeat or not. And IMO, they will not be able to do that.

India managed to collect 406 runs in their first innings. So Australia must score 450+ runs in the second innings if they want to win.

What happened to these three bowlers, Tanzim Hasan, Soumya Sarkar and Shoriful Islam? All three might have created some of their personal records against the New Zealand batter. What went so wrong for the New Zealand team? Were they not able to assess their own home pitch? Good toss win by Bangladesh as the target give by the Kiwis shows how bad the pitch was for batting. After wasting 32 overs they were only able to get to 98 runs, proves that the match was not decided by batter but the bowlers.

My prediction was that Bangladesh will lose the series 3-0. I don't even imagine that Bangladesh team will see such a great comeback in the last match. Bangladeshi bowlers bowled well in today's match. New Zealand's innings stopped at just 98 runs. Shoriful, Sakib and Soumya took three wickets each. Although Soumyo is a part-time bowler, he also bowled very well in today's match. Sakib gave only 14 runs in 7 overs and was able to pick up 3 wickets. The match was not important for New Zealand. Yet it was unexpected that New Zealand would concede such a humiliating defeat in a home match.

The Indian team batted brilliantly in the third ODI match between India and South Africa. India set a target of 297 runs to South Africa. Batting on a target of 297 runs, South Africa initially looked like they might easily win against India. Indian team won the third one-day match with great bowling of India. Arshdeep Singh bowled great, not Arshdeep Singh and gave 30 runs and took four wickets. India team won by 78 runs Congratulations to India team.
I think India has played well in every match of this ODI series, I thought after watching the first match of the series, that India was going to whitewash South Africa in this ODI series. But unfortunately in their second match of the series, due to lack of batting side, they could not whitewash South Africa. Anyway, they put up a great performance on the batting side in this match and get the revenge of second match. Especially the batsmen of the middle order and lower order have done a great performance today, I think it is because of them that India has managed to go into this match.
3rd ODi south Africa won toss and bowls first india made 296/8 in 50 overs excellent batting by sanju samson 108 runs and tilak verma played 52 runs innings and set a target of 297 to south africa hendriks takes 3 wickets south africa make 218 for all out in 46th overs De zorzi made 81 runs but unlucky to won this match for his country brilliant bowling by arshdeep Singh takes 30/3 wickets in 9 overs Sundar and avesh khan also took 2 , 2 wickets india won this series by 2-1 in South africa

The loss of South Africa in 3rd ODI surprised me. They were looking good, Zorzi was on his way to his next century and all of a sudden wickets started falling. I was saying before that if the Indian Bowlers needed to show their magic, it would be now. And they definitely have shown their magic. Arshdeep Singh got 4 wickets and became the man of the series deservingly. If Zorzi had been able to win the match for South Africa, I think he would have been the man of the series. South Africa found a really good talent. India looks good with their new talents as well. Looking forward to their next matches.

Apart from Barcelona and Real Madrid, the other teams in La Liga are not very strong.
Did you forget about Atletico Madrid?

They are only 3 points less than Barcelona and they can equalize it if they win one extra match. Atletico Madrid has good contribution from Griezman who seems to play his best season since his transfer from Atletico Madrid to Barcelona some seasons ago. I disagree to exclude them from the title race too soon or to say they are weaker than Barcelona, I disagree too.

I don't forget about Atletico Madrid. Even a few weeks ago I considered Atletico Madrid as one of the strongest contenders for the title. But this team is not playing well consistently. Atletico Madrid have won only two of their last five matches. Atletico Madrid dropped points against Getafe, Barcelona and Athletic Club. Although this team has performed very well, their performances have always been poor against the renowned teams of La Liga. That's why I think Atletico Madrid won't be able to win the title if they stay in the top four of the table.

Quote
The Girona team is also not strong enough. However, the overall performance of the team is impressive due to the good chemistry between the players and good match strategy. However, personally I don't think this team can win the title.
They don't have good tradition like Real Madrid and Barcelona. They don't have too strong squad but they have an amazing season so far and their players are playing best season in their career. They don't have pressure to win La Liga and with less pressure than Real Madrid and Barcelona, they can make history for their club.

Girona fans never imagined that the Girona team could perform so well. They do not have a strong squad. However, Girona's players are working hard and performing well. Had this team been experienced and had a few more players in the squad, it might have been a bit easier for them to win the title. At the moment it is very difficult for Girona to win the La Liga title.

Quote from: youdacapt
Lucky lucky lucky win for 10 man Real Madrid!!
Real Madrid win away at Deportivo La Coruna with 1 goal!! Scored by Luca Vacquez from a Toni Kroos corner in what was an uninspiring performance from the galactic is
Luckily for Real Madrid, they are able to get the maximum 3 points and reduce the points deficit from the top of the league table to just 2 points as Girona also drew 1-1 away at Real Betis
The La Liga title race is on!!!
Yeah the race is still on, but my question is Girona make it to the top again? Even though the have the same point with real Madrid, we all know that Madrid is one of the strongest team in Laliga this season and they are capable of holding that position to the end, Barcelona which I believe can stop them are really in mess too their performance is so weak to the extent that they are managing to even be in top three. Conclusion can not be draw at this moment because Girona still have opportunity to make it to the top if the can work more on their performance because Laliga is the only league they are playing on like Madrid that is involved in three competition so there is still hope for them.
Not by having the same points with Real Madrid but who is toping in the la Liga league table currently, because as it stand now Real Madrid have taken back the first position from Girona because they won their match to defeated Deportivo Alaves 0-1 in their home without allowed them to score a single goal from the match despite the red card one of their player got in the second half. I know that Girona is displaying well in this season but it will be difficult for them to win this la Liga league title, because Real Madrid and Barcelona are the two teams people are expecting to drag this title but Girona will definitely return back to 4th or 5th position for Real Madrid to maintain the first position till the end of the tournament. I don't think Real Madrid can well champions league title in this season but there is a confidence in this la Liga league competition that Real Madrid will win this la Liga league title this season.
It will really be good for Laliga if Girona win the league tittle this season. sometimes I get tired of seeing the two traditional teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid winning the league almost every year. Girona has brought another level of competition to the league. Yes I know that they are not the favorite to win but this is the kind of competition we want to continually see in the Laliga.

Apart from Barcelona and Real Madrid, the other teams in La Liga are not very strong. The Girona team is also not strong enough. However, the overall performance of the team is impressive due to the good chemistry between the players and good match strategy. However, personally I don't think this team can win the title. Barcelona and Real Madrid still seem to be my favorites to win the title. I will be happy if Madrid lose their next match and Barcelona win their next match. As a result, the title fight will become more crowded. If not, the Barcelona team will be knocked out of the title fight. Because Barcelona is now 7 points behind Madrid and Girona.

Indian batting lineup is no mug, yeah sometimes collapse does come but in the test match, they bat deep down to 9th position, similar to the Men's team when they play in India.

Deepti is the lady version of Jaddu and bats at 7-8th position and Pooja Vastrakar also knows how to hang around in tough conditions, she has a healthy batting average for the number 9 batter.

you are right Indian batsmen are capable of performing very well in Test format. They are batting well against Australia's experienced bowlers in today's match as well. And I won't be at all surprised if India take a 200-plus lead in the first innings. And now the batting of the Indian women's team looks like the team can take a lead of more than 200.

India women team collected 247 runs in 67 overs. Richa and Jemimah put on a 100-run partnership. These two batsmen are batting very responsibly. The Australian captain has used 8 of his bowlers so far. Even then they are not able to take the wicket of India.

If you watch Barcelona's match last weekend and look at Napoli on, you will see Napoli are more stronger than them and their performance is good, Xavi just needs to get a new striker and play well because if they continue playing like that, I don't think they can compete with Madrid and Girona in the league, let alone the Champions League, and I don't think Barcelona can win the Champions League with there performance this season. Athletico Madrid vs Inter Milan will be a challenging game because both clubs are performing well in their respective leagues, but the outcome may be predicted based on their key players. Because Inter Milan are in good health and top their league table and they have a very competent coach with experience, he will lead them to victory over Athletico Madrid and go to the next round of the championship.
Barcelona are an unreliable team to depend on at the moment in any competition they play. Their performance has been far from convincing unlike Napoli, who had a headliner Victor Osimhen with a goal and a world class assist, he can also be the difference against Barcelona for Napoli if he remains in the club.

What do you think will be the effect of the european super league on the champions league? Will it lead to the collapse of this competition?

I would say that both Barcelona and Napoli  are in the same situation at the moment. Barcelona's  performance has  deteriorated. Napoli's performance  is not strong either. Napoli's  performance is also quite poor  and erratic. Osimhen's performance this season is not even good. Osimhen scored only one  goal in four Champions League matches. He could not make any assist. However, there is no doubt that this match will be very competitive. But I can't call any team favorite. As the performances of both the teams are poor now. So I would say 50-50 for both of them to win this match.

India Women vs Australia Women

India Women's team is performing well against Australia Women's team in the only Test match of the tour. Thanks to excellent bowling by Pooja and Sneh Rana, Australia women's team could only muster 219 runs. If the pitch was bowling friendly it might have been called a good collection, but the pitch was batting friendly.

Indian batsmen are also batting very responsibly. After losing 2 wickets, India now collects 147 runs. Safali was dismissed for 40 runs. Smriti remains unbeaten with 74 runs. India women's team is only 72 runs behind. India can take a lead of 100+ runs in the first innings.

I thought Smriti Mandhana would score a century today. But he ended his innings with 74 runs. Although he could not score a century, he batted well enough. Both the Indian openers performed well today. If India's middle order can do well like the two openers, India can easily score 350+ runs. But it is not possible to say whether India's middle order will do well. We have seen many times in the past that after a great performance by the top order, India failed to collect big due to the middle order batsmen not doing well. India collected 174 runs in 45 overs. The Indian team is still behind by 45 runs.

Kalvin Phillips is the player of Manchester City who is near to leaving the team and Guidiola is not interested in using this player in the game they have.
Since he didn't get the enough opportunity in the games he wants to leave the team and some other teams like Newcastle and Juventus want to hire this player from Manchester City but Kalvin Phillips said he will leave Manchester City and join another team if he makes sure that he can play in that team.

Players do need minutes, and when players are in a very good team but they don't get minutes, then it's natural that they want to leave that team. It seems that Kalvin Phillips feels it now and he wants to find a team that can give him enough minutes to play.
If Juventus or Newcastle want this player, then it is good news for him, because the team that wants him also has a big name like Juventus. Newcastle may have recently become troublesome, but Newcastle also has a good future after they have a new owner who does not hesitate to spend a lot of money for the progress of the team.

It seems that Juventus doesn't really have any desire to recruit him because Juventus intends to release its new striker Dusan Vlahovic to another club, Manchester United the club most wants the Bosnian striker to bring him to Old Trafford, Dusan Vlahovic is reportedly not renewing his contract with the old lady and wants to Looking for a new challenge in the Premier League, Juventus is willing to release the striker to a club that really intends to buy him at a price that suits the players and the Juventus.

In my opinion, Juventus is looking for a striker who can replace Dusan Vlahovic's role because his bluntness in several factors has made Juventus have the idea of looking for a new striker, in order to help Juventus' attacking power this season, the strikers that Juventus has this season actually don't look that striking in the field. This season, in fact, the goals in the matches played by Juventus this season came from Juventus' defenders and midfielders, the contribution on the front line is actually invisible, which is why Juventus prefers to look for strikers who can help Juventus' attacking power to improve Juventus' performance in this season...

What is happening to Kalvin Phillips is really sad. He was a good midfielder and was supposed to be the next big name in the Premier League. But it seems as if Guardiola only bought him just so that he doesn't have to play against him.

In my opinion, Newcastle would be a very good option for Kalvin Phillips.  He would get regular game times and would be able to develop. On the other hand, Juventus might not be interested in signing Phillips due to the reasons @samuraijin said.

We have seen what happened to the likes of Donny Van de Beek due to lack of game time. He was the player who got into the Ballon d'Or top 30 a few years ago, and nobody knows where he is lost.  It is very sad from a football fan’s view to see these young prospects getting lost due to a few clubs. I mean why would you sign him if you are not going to play him?

Two weeks ago Roma managed to be in the top 4 but they failed to maintain that place and had to be dropped in 8th place in the standings. This was because they achieved two less than optimal results in the previous match, such as losing to Bologna and also drawing against Fiorentina. Roma's current position is very much in decline this week because they only have a 2 point advantage over Torino and they could go down again this week.

It's not easy for Roma because their next opponent is Napoli and even though Napoli have not been consistent so far, they will also try to steal 3 points at home to Roma and at the same time put them in the top 4 by overtaking Bologna. In this match, I'm not sure Roma will win and it might be a narrow victory for Napoli.

It is my opinion that Roma will find it extremely difficult to move up in the league table given that they lost the chance to drop to fourth place. Napoli, on the other hand, is currently in fifth place with Bologna leading the team by just one point. I believe Napoli will not want to let this happen, even though I am aware of their occasional struggles, but Roma's performance is not as strong as Napoli's, and their players especially Osimhen is in excellent form right now.

But I've been wondering: Is it because Lukaku and Dybala aren't playing for Roma anymore because I haven't seen their performance like it used to be? It's been like five games since I last saw Lukaku score goals, and he's Roma's star player. Did something happen to Lukaku and Dybala because their performance isn't as good as it used to be? Roma's performance is looking pretty bad because they were in position 4 before and are now in position 8, which is extremely poor.

Roma had some hard fixtures for the previous 2 games. Fiorentina and Bologna both are relatively strong teams right now. One of them are sitting on 4th position and another is sitting on 6th position. So basically Roma has 3 fixtures in a row with 3 good teams and they might drop points in these 3 points but that doesn't mean that they are a bad team.

But Roma also needs to gather some points in these matches as well to fight for the UCL spot or UEL spot. Napoli right now is not looking very good. They had massive defeat against Frosinone in Copa Italia Yesterday. If Roma can play their cards right, they can win the game.

As for Lukaku, he just scored in the match against Fiorentina. He also got red card in that match so he couldn't play against Bologna. Dybala is injured as well. So that means their key players are absent. But that doesn't mean Roma will be weak forever.  As I have said, if they play their cards right, they can win that 3 points against Napoli.

With a target of 297 runs given by the Indian team, it became very difficult for the South African team to hope to win the match. In today's match, the bowlers of the South African team failed to use their strategy. The fans of the South African team have become very upset with the poor performance of the bowlers of the South African team. From the start of the game, it looked like South Africa's bowlers would be able to prevent India from scoring big. But the bowlers of the South African team were trapped by the great batting skills of the Indian team batsmen. Now in the second innings game, if the batsmen of the South African team can show a magical surprise in batting. Only then will there be a possibility of winning this match against India. Now let's see if the South African team players can win the hearts of the fans by playing well in today's match

The target 297 is big but the South African batters are showing their magic. Specially De Zorzi who is 81 runs not out at the moment. The South African batters are doing great currently. They have 7 wickets in hand and Tony de Zorzi looking to score another hundred. They need 144 runs from 22 Overs which is pretty achievable.

The one who needs to show their magic right now are Indian bowlers. Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan need to show the magic they showed in the first match. They seemed to be struggling right now. Washington Sundar has been very economical and not letting the Proteas scoring much runs.

If Klaasen and Zorzi who are on the pitch right now can keep it up, South Africa will be able to win the series.

Both teams had ups and downs this series but finding Zorzi has been the biggest win for South Africa. He can be the next Hashim Amla and De kock for South Africa.

It didn't surprise me that various fancies spent a lot of money in this IPL auction but what surprised me was that Kolkata Knight Riders managed to retain a great finisher like Rinku Singh for just 55 lakhs. The Indian cricketer has been in great form in the national team and domestic leagues since the last IPL, but various teams have not shown much interest in this player. While other players have been bought for Rs 24 crores and Rs 20 crores, Rinku Singh's price of only 55 lakhs will be a big question in every cricket lover's mind. When this Indian cricketer performed brilliantly in the last IPL and made many impossible matches possible for Kolkata, I thought his price would exceed crores in the next season, but his price did not exceed 55 lakhs.

It is actually outrageous the fact that Kolkata Knight Riders got Rinku Singh for 55 lakhs. So many other players got overpriced but he is only 55 lakhs. This is a true bargain.

Rinku Singh is one of the best finishers in the IPL and he is playing against South Africa today and he finished well along with Samson. He scored 38 out of 27 in a slow pitch which is a very healthy strike rate.

I think Indian players need to get more money. Bumrah was only 12 Crore while Pat Cummins was 20 crore? Starc was 24.75 crore?  Bumrah is on the same level as Cummins and Starc if not more. He deserves at least 20 crore. Other finishers/batsmen like Russow, and Head got around 8 crore. Rinktu needs to get at least 5 crore.

Currently there are not many players who appear for just one club, and I also hope that Muller can be one of those who is included in the one man club list. Bayern maintains player transition very well, the presence of senior players in the dressing room has a big influence on the motivation of young players. The short term contract proposed by management is a form of appreciation for Muller dedication, very fair for both parties. In the midst of the crazy transfer attacks carried out by leagues like the Saudi Pro League, players like Muller are definitely on their radar, because apart from quality they also want big names to improve the club image.

Even though he is no longer young, there are quite a few who still want Muller services. Previously, there was news that Man United wanted to pursue his signature, of course what United hoped for was his experience playing at the top competition level. Therefore, Bayern efforts to retain their star are very wise, Muller still has good bargaining value to contribute to the club, and Tuchel is certainly happy with Muller contract extension.

Yes, I certainly agree with you. One club man is just so rare to see these days due to these crazy offers made by some of the clubs and leagues. The players choose money over clubs and move on to play in different leagues.

I think it is very important that experienced players are in the dressing room to properly nurture the younger ones. There are some amazing young prospects in Bayern's Dressing. Jamal Musiala is one of them and he won the German player of the year in the previous year. If they are developed properly they will become a long time asset for the Bayern Munich team.

Teams like Manchester United are suffering from discipline issues in their players and I think the lack of experienced players and leaders could be one of the causes.

Thomas Muller recently completed a short-term contract extension with Bayern Munich and he will still be in Die Rotten uniform for one more season. This is clearly a form of his devotion to the team that has made its name on the football scene and his love for Bayern Munich has never disappeared after 14 years in the first team.

Thomas Muller is a product of the Bayern Munich academy and he has never joined another team since arriving at Bayern Munich. It looks like this is the last contract that Bayern Munich can offer him considering that he is already 34 years old and maybe after his contract ends he will also retire at Bayern Munich.
That's an extraordinary dedication to the club that made its name. It's very possible he will retire there, and it doesn't open up the opportunity for other clubs to come and negotiate with him. because it was rumored that Thomas Muller would not get a contract extension, MU wanted to sign him. and I think it may be more than one season if a deal is struck.
but Thomas Muller still wants to be in Munich, which proves that he appreciates and loves being part of the giant Bundesliga club.

Thomas Muller has been an asset to the Bayern Munich team and Germany's national football team. He dedicated his career in the Bayern Munich squad and as you said he is the product of their academy. He is like Marco Reus, Totti, etc. He is a Bayern Munich Legend.

I hope he retires at Bayern Munich if he decides to retire in the next few seasons. I wouldn't want to see him like Ibrahimovich or Gareth Bale or Messi who just joined MLS nor like Ronaldo who joined Saudi League. I hope to see him play only in Bayern Munich's uniform if he keeps playing football in the next few seasons.

Bangladesh team should have given 300+ target today. The main weakness of the Bangladesh team was that 2/1 players in the squad performed well, the rest of the players performed below average. In today's match, if one more top order batsman could have batted well with Soumyo Sarker, or if Miraz had been able to bat well, then Bangladesh team could have given 320+ target very easily. The performance of every Bangladeshi player is very erratic. This is why Bangladesh's overall performance is poor despite having a lot of talented players in the squad.
While I agree with you that in 50 over format, anything above 300 runs is a good target. That does not mean that 291 runs were not defendable by the Bangladesh team. The lack of experienced and effective bowlers has been an issue with the side, and it will continue to haunt them. New Zealand were always a good batting side, and they proved today once again that they can chase runs. Two more games left in this series and I am not expecting much from the Bangladesh side.

Bangladesh needed to have an experienced pace bowler in the squad on such a pitch. Shariful or Hasan are talented but not experienced enough. If Taskin was in the squad, maybe we would have seen the bowling of Bangladesh a little better. The target was not big. And so New Zealand's batsmen batted in a pressure free manner. A win with a target of 291 runs is certainly possible if the team's bowling attack is strong. Bangladesh's bowling attack is not strong. So it is much more difficult to win on a pitch that offers a target of less than 300.

The problems that occurred between Mbappe and PSG at the start of the season have been resolved after the player agreed to extend his contract as proposed by PSG. Mbappe is a big player, he has to do something to boost his career. Staying with PSG is not a good decision for him, because he can still get trophies with other clubs that he has never been able to get while playing for PSG.
Every time the transfer market opens, rumors of Mbappe leaving PSG always become the main topic. He must take a stand for a better future, stay with PSG or move to another club.
I don't know what Mbappe wants by extending his contract at PSG. Is that a strategy from Mbappe so that if another club wants to sign him then they have to spend large amounts of money and make a tempting offer? Because I think what does Mbappe need from PSG? He's got everything there. Has PSG offered Mbappe a large salary so that he chooses to stay at PSG?
There is no way to say for sure if Mbappe will leave PSG. Because for the last few seasons there have been strong rumors that Mbappe will leave the team. But Mbappe has renewed his contract with PSG every time at the last minute. It would not be surprising if something similar happens this season.
However, PSG's overall condition is not good. Winning the Champions League title is much more difficult for this team. Mbappe will definitely want to win the Champions League title. This is why Real Madrid, Liverpool or Arsenal could be better choices for Mbappe. And these clubs will be able to pay Mbappe high wages.
I believe he will be more successful in the Premier League, but Real Madrid is his dream team. That's why I think the Real Madrid option is one step ahead. Real Madrid will want to have him in the team. Although there probably isn't a team in the world that wouldn't want to have him on their team. Mbappe is one of the top 3 names among currently active football players. I don't know if PSG will be able to surprise, but I expect him to leave PSG at the end of the year.

Any team in La Liga and Premier League would want to have a player as talented as Mbappe in their squad. Because he can score a lot of goals. But why Mbappe is still not leaving PSG is a mystery. PSG paid Mbappe huge wages, but Premier League teams are also capable of paying higher wages. However, Premier League and La Liga are very competitive compared to Ligue 1. Ligue 1 teams are relatively weak. And it's easy for Mbappe to score as well. So Mbappe doesn't want to risk going to a competitive league? Because in competitive leagues the risk of injury is high and performance is likely to deteriorate.
