I think not only Shaheen Afridi but the whole of the Pakistan team did a good show in yesterday's match. Here is how  Smiley

First of all, Babar Azam and Saim Ayub made a partnership but Saim Ayub was out early then Babar Azam started to make a partnership with Usman Khan and for sure Babar Azam said to him that stand with me we can make good runs because Usman Khan was taking singles or doubles and trying to hit balls and also giving chances to Babar Azam.

The first three balls of the over were played by Usman Khan and later Babar Azam played the last three balls of the over which helped to Pakistan very much because Babar Azam was hitting very good runs, but when Usman Khan was out then Babar Azam started to do the same with Fakhar Zaman. In short, it were small partnerships and Baber standing at one end, which help Pakistan made a good total.

Saim Ayub has been given too many chances in T20I and he is yet to score a fifty despite the fact he came as an opener. In his fifteen T20I innings, he has scored 219 runs with an average of 14.60. It's time for Pakistan team to let him play domestic cricket and try some new opener who can score runs for the team. T20 World Cup is coming up and if Pakistan can't beat New Zealand second-tier team then what they will go against full strength teams.

Everyone thought that Royal Challengers Bengaluru will not be able to chase this 200 runs target set by Gujarat Titans, but RCB proved everyone wrong and i am sure a lot of people would have lost the bet today.

It's hard to believe that Royal Challengers Bengaluru chased this total in only 16 overs with only one wicket down. Virat Kohli and Will Jacks turned the tables for their team while Will Jacks was also the player of the series as he scored 100 in only 41 balls. It was a treat to watch this inning and those in the stadium thoroughly enjoyed these moments.


Seeing the performance of RCB in this IPL everyone was sure that that RCB can't chase target of 200 runs but 166 runs partnership between Kohli and Will Jacks has done the job for RCB.
RCB have four more matches to go and if they win all of there remaining matches even then it will be difficult for them to qualify for the next round. Still they should try to win rest of there matches to finish high on points table not as the last team on the points table.

In the case of my country, most of the people who gamble here are young people and usually the games they play are slots. This is quite reasonable because gambling here is prohibited, so older people cannot access offline casinos and they are also not very technologically savvy, which limits them from accessing online casinos from their devices. However, it is different from young people, where they understand technology so it is very easy for them to play slots from their smartphones and make deposits/withdrawals.

With advent of cryptocurrency, online gambling is now possible where it's banned by the government. In my country (Pakistan), gambling is prohibited by the government but people still do it in hidden. As far as age is concerned mostly it's the young one who do it and not many elderly people are seen doing gambling. As gambling is illegal and there are punishments for people who do gambling, mostly people stay away from gambling to avoid legal actions against them.

Seems like there is no luck for the Pakistan women's team and they lost another match and many loss another series on their home ground. Pakistan managed to score only 121 runs in their 20 overs and this was always going to be less and not competitive score. The top order batsmen did manage to score some runs with Muneeba Ali scoring a 54 runs but the middle and lower order players failed completely and were unable to score any runs.

West Indies Women chased this target with 10 balls to spare and they still had seven wickets in hand. This was a one sided match completely controlled by the West Indies team. The captain of the West Indies team Hayley Matthews made 58 runs and was the player of the match. West Indies squad must be very happy about winning both the ODI series and at 2-0 in the five match T20 series.

This is disappointing tour series for Pakistan women, first they lost ODI series 3-0 and now they have lost initial 2 T20 matches. All this is happening on there home ground. Pakistan team were near to victory in 2nd ODI and 1st T20 but luck favours WI women on both occasions. Now it looks very difficult to save the series and best Pakistan can do is to avoid whitewash in T20 series.

in 45th match of Indian Premier league Gujarat Titans batting performance is outstanding they scored a huge total for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Gujarat Titans batting well especially Sai Sudharsan who scored a amazing 84 runs inning from just 49 balls, unfortunately missed a well deserved century by 16 runs short but reached the team total to 200 runs. Royal Challengers Bengaluru Bowlers didn't perform well and its a difficult for him to chase down the 201 target.

Faf du Plessis is looking aggressive today and Sai Kishore did well to remove him in his first over. Now all eyes are on Virat Kohli, if he can do something then RCB have a chance to win this game. Faf du Plessis scored 24 runs on 12 balls that include three sixes and a boundary. RCB have nothing to lose from this match, they are already on last position on point table and even if they lose today's game there position won't change  on points table.   
87  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: April 28, 2024, 12:19:04 PM
RCB seem to have the upper hand at the moment since I don't think 200 is a competitive score on this pitch, but I could be wrong since the commentators did mention that it is a competitive score.

Sudershan has turned out to be one of the most consistent IPL batsmen period. He deserves many opportunities in the international team if you ask me.

Sudershan has so far played only 3 ODIs for India and his current IPL performance will surely take him to India T20I squad. Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis have started the innings for RCB and after 3 overs they both managed to score 37 runs. To win the game, RCB need both openers to score runs so that rest of batting don't have much pressure on them. Faf du Plessis so far has smashed three sixes and one boundary in first three overs.

Anything that has to do with addiction will come with a penalty of losses because it will always happened at the detriments of the user involved, am not seing any personal benefit involved in gambling addiction for any reason, I don't even know if aside losses, there are still other major disadvantages of being a gambling addicts, which causes some side effects on the gambler involved, and I don't think there is any benefit attached as well to any addicted gambler, things are better done well with gambling if the gambler involved is not addicted.

Addiction is a bad thing, no matter it's gambling or any other area. If a gambler knows what his limits are then he won't be a loser. Those who got themselves addicted to gambling loses everything as number one rule of gambling is don't chase your loses. There are not many success stories associated with people who got addicted to gambling. So if you are going to gamble then make sure you do it for fun only and never get addicted of it.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru bowled very well in the early stages and it looked like Gujarat Titans could score 170 as the maximum. But the responsible batting of Shahrukh Khan and Sai Sudharsan gave Royal Challengers Bengaluru a target of 201 runs by Gujarat Titans. Royal Challengers Bengaluru batsmen have to bat responsibly. If RCB batsmen can bat responsibly, then they can easily cross the target of 200 runs. Now let's see how responsible RCB batsmen can bat.

What a knock by Sai Sudharsan, 84 runs on just 49 balls. He was unlucky to miss century but he has done his job for Gujrat team. RCB need 201 runs to win this game. RCB bowlers were not able to pick lots of wicket, only three of Gujrat batsmen got out. Cameron Green was the most expensive RCB bowler as he gave away 42 runs in his 3 overs. 200 is a target that can be chased on flat tracks of IPL and RCB have batsmen like Virat and Faf du Plessis who have the capability to play big innings.

Pakistan cricket is in dire straits right now. We didn't get a good performance from Pakistan in the last ODI World Cup. I have seen several matches of PSL, the performance of Pakistani players in this PSL was also very erratic. And now the Pakistan team is not able to win the series even with the second row squad of New Zealand. If this performance continues, the Pakistan team will not be able to do well in the next T20 World Cup. Pakistan team will be eliminated in the first round.

I checked the weather report of Lahore. There is a chance of rain today. So today's match is likely to be abandoned like the first match. If the match is abandoned, New Zealand will win the series 2-1.

NZ must be comfortable with rain but Pakistan can't afford a rain today they need the match to be played. The first T20I was reduced to 5 overs before being called off due to rain, weather is partly cloudy in Lahore today and chances are we can have the match as scheduled. PCB management need to focus on lessons learned from this series, players must be selected based on there performance in domestic cricket not on few success in PSL.

DC doing a fantastic job in batting at the moment. After 18 overs they have a score of 234 runs and it seems like they will end up scoring 240 runs today. Jake Fraser-McGurk set the foundation of aggressive batting and that approach is adopted by rest of the batting that followed. IPL will be very much open for DC if they win today's game which is very much likely to happen. 
92  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: April 27, 2024, 10:58:04 AM
Wake up baby, another massacre is in progress right now  Grin Grin

2nd 15 ball 50 for Jake Fraser-McGurk lol. I mean wtf is happening in this season, powerplay is not finished and DC already got 90 runs on the board. I guess a new record is in the making.


Jake Fraser-McGurk 84 runs inning on 27 balls is over and after 10 overs DC score is 128 for the loss of two wickets. Interesting thing is if DC wins today then they will be among top 4 teams on point table. DC should keep this in mind that job is not done yet, they need to score above 230 runs to win the game. Scoring rate has gone down since the depart of Jake Fraser-McGurk and if DC keep moving down then they might not able to score 200.

We saw another defeat of Pakistan women's team. Defeat does not leave Pakistan women's team behind. In the ODI series between Pakistan Women's team and West Indies Women's team, we saw West Indies Women's team winning the series by 3-0. The same losing streak continues for Pakistan Women's T20I series as they lost to West Indies Women's in the first T20I match. The first T20 match between West Indies and Pakistan Women's team was very exciting as Pakistan lost the match by just one run. Hosts Pakistan Women's team may not have been lucky as they eventually lost the match by just one run despite a hard fought effort. Pakistan women's team should learn from the failure of this match and play well in the second match so that they can come back in the series again.

This is 5 match series and Pakistan-W still have chance to make a come back in remaining matches. The first T20I was a close contest and although Pakistan lost the game they proved that they are as good as West Indies team. This game will boost moral of Pakistan for the remaining matches as they badly need a win in this WI tour. Pakistan needed 2 runs on last ball to win the match and Connell got the wicket of Najiha Alvi on very last ball to grab a win for her side.

Pakistan are unable to win their home matches against New Zealand's second-tier squad. I would say it is a shame for Pakistan. Pakistan won the second match due to excellent performance by the bowlers. But Pakistan lost the next two matches. We don't see any better performance from Pakistani batsmen on batting friendly pitch. Also Pakistani bowlers bowling seems to be getting worse day by day. If this continues, the Pakistan team will be defeated in today's match as well.

I thought Pakistan would dominate the series. And in the second match, Pakistan got a very easy win. But even then we have seen the performance of Pakistani players deteriorate. If they lose today's match too, Pakistan will lose the series by 3-1.

No doubt it's not a good sign for Pakistan cricket that they are showing such poor performance against NZ second-tie team. It should be an easy win for Pakistan in this series rather then a struggle to win matches. Pakistan still have the chance to save the honour by winning today's last T20I and level the series. T20 world cup is ahead and with such performance Pakistan won't have many chances of making it to next rounds.

NZ batsmen have done a good job and now there bowlers are doing good job. Pakistan in deep trouble as they have lost three key wickets in power play and score is 48. NZ are very much in control of the match at the moment and Pakistan need someone to bat exceptionally well to get team out of this troubled situation. Shadab Khan and Fakhar Zaman are batting at the moment and all eyes on this pair to perform something for the country.

From the start of the match, I was thinking about why Shadab Khan was not doing the bowling in today’s match, he did only fielding in this innings, maybe he could have got a chance to be bat in this innings and this is what happened  Wink

I think instead of Usama Mir, he has to play. By the way, Usama Mir is the most poorest player ever, I don’t know how he made his place into the World Cup 2023 but I think that was his first and the last World Cup because till now his performance is not like that he comes in the squad of the World Cup 2024 which would be played into 20 overs format.

It's a strange strategy by Pakistan to go with two all-rounders, i.e. Shadab Khan and Imad Wasim. Both are spinners and not very effective bowlers. Shadab was not given bowl because Imad Wasim was bowling. Abbas Afridi was good with the bowl as he picked 3 wickets while rest of bowlers struggle to get wickets and gave away too many runs. Pakistan have to win last match to level the series.
96  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: April 26, 2024, 05:15:40 AM
179 was not a very big target. New Zealand won only because of their bowlers. Jacob Duffy was expensive early on, but then William O’Rourke and Ben Sears managed to turn things around for the Kiwis. Michael Bracewell also did his part. He was economical, and then picked up the wicket of Shadab Khan. Pakistan management maybe concerned. This is a home series for them, and New Zealand is not exactly the strongest team in T20 format. At the moment, Kiwis are leading the series by 2-1. 
   

This is alarmingly for Pakistan cricket as they have lost back to back games against a side who is without its main players. NZ can't lose the series now, they can either win or draw the series. Pakistan had terrible record at home under captaincy of Babar Azam and now it's not an ideal time for Pakistan to once again look for another captain in T20 format.

Just one behind for play and New Zealand squad is very close to complete their batting Inning. Their batting Inning performance is ongoing very impressive and Tim Robinson batting skills was amazing and we all are know their squad members are not internationally cricket player and most of squad members participated in different competitions. Tim Robinson achieved mid century off 36 deliveries and other batter was also connected with his batting partnership Tom Blundell collected 28 deliveries. Total defeating target was collected by New Zealand squad is 178 scores with lost of 7 wickets. Abbas Afridi bowler performance was incredible out other bowler of Pakistan squad, this bowler picked up 3 good batter wickets Tim Robinson, Josh Clarkson and Michael Bracewell. Let's see what happen in Pakistan squad batting Inning, their squad member will achieve this target and get a victory.

NZ batsmen have done a good job and now there bowlers are doing good job. Pakistan in deep trouble as they have lost three key wickets in power play and score is 48. NZ are very much in control of the match at the moment and Pakistan need someone to bat exceptionally well to get team out of this troubled situation. Shadab Khan and Fakhar Zaman are batting at the moment and all eyes on this pair to perform something for the country.

In the 4th match of the T20 series between New Zealand and Pakistan, the Pakistan team is bowling by opting to bowl first. The bowling of Pakistan team bowlers is not very favorable. The bowlers of the Pakistan team bowled 7.4 overs so far, except for one wicket of the New Zealand team, the bowlers of the Pakistan team could not take any wicket. Now, if the bowlers of the Pakistan team continue to bowl badly, then the Pakistan team will have to face a much bigger target given by the New Zealand team. In my opinion, Pakistan bowlers should strengthen their bowling at this moment. Now let's see what the bowlers of Pakistan team can do in the end.

10 overs play completed and NZ score is 93 for the loss of just one wicket. You are right if Pakistani bowlers continue to bowl like that then they might have to chase a target of 200 runs. Tim Robinson and Tom Blundell gave NZ an excellent start of 56 runs. Pakistan need wickets and that too quickly otherwise game might slip away from there hands. Mark Chapman the danger man still to come and he has the capability to play an aggressive innings.

Sure.. it could tell us to accumulate more and not to sell, and surely it is better to attempt to be ahead of these kinds of points so that you are not feeling desperate during times in which the BTC price is bouncing within ranges that are historically low.

We cannot completely know what to do, even though we can attempt to try to use history to our advantage, and hope that we are not choosing wrong in terms of how much we are investing or if we choose to change our level of aggressiveness based on any of the moving average indicators, including the 200-WMA.  

That's the main thing I want to know that what to do in the period when spot price goes below 200-WMA. It's good time to accumulate Bitcoins rather to sell. If you see past price of Bitcoins then in the long run spot price always recovers no matter how much down it goes. So based on past price of Bitcoin we must not get worry even if price of Bitcoin is going below 200-WMA.
June 2022 to October 2023, I think that's the same duration when price of Bitcoin goes below 20k and just imagine if somebody has bought BTC at that price then how much profit he is having right now.

That seems to be the correct conclusion, so long as bitcoin continues to perform.. and surely we have a lot of craziness in recent times with what seems to be ongoing attacks on the ability of normal folks to use bitcoin for transacting, and including the ongoing flow of money into the bitcoin spot ETFs.    It is hard to say how much bitcoin's reputation and investment case can get damaged when so much money seems to be getting put into crappy aspects that are questionable whether anyone is making money in such process of keeping the onchain fees so persistently high, so it is costing those inscription/ordinal generating folks a lot of money to keep using the bitocoin blockchain in such way that increased just a couple of days ago at the time of the halvening with the introduction of Runes... .. so many folks are still watching how long the fees are going to stay so high and will there still be opportunities for the blockchain to be used for relatively normal transactions.. as I had many times been mentioning to members that they need to be careful in terms of their generating smaller UTXOs that might come unusable during times like this.. and so then there is either a need to wait until the fees come back down (and surely they should), or maybe figuring out other ways to transact with bitcoin, which might be acceptable, yet less preferable if many of us are forced into having to use solutions that overly rely upon 3rd parties in the custody or transacting of our coins..

As far as ETF thing is concerned, its not something new. Whenever there is something new people rush after that. Remember 2017 ICOs? There was huge money going into ICO and after that we have IEOs then come NFTs and so on. Right now its ETF era and it's normal that people will rush after that. Let's just wait and see how long it lasts.
There are many folks around who are investing in ETFs but I am one of few who is least interested in this ETF stuff. I believe that simple Bitcoin investment is better then going for ETFs.

Pakistan tried but their luck was not really on their side otherwise they could have won the match much earlier. Hayley Matthews and Shemaine Campbelle could have had a chance after losing two wickets but Stafanie Taylor didn't give the chance. She scored 73 runs off 90 balls in batting. The calculation was very simple if Pakistan team could have returned Stefanie Taylor then they would have won the match long ago. But late on, when they picked up the wicket of Stefanie Taylor, there was a lot of frustration in the team. But when the last ball of the equation was 3 runs off 1 ball, I assumed that Pakistan would win the match, but luck stood a big hindrance in the way. The last ball went in front of the wicket keeper for 4 runs.

3 runs were required on the very last ball of the game and Pakistan women should have won that match but the last ball went for four runs. Now Pakistan team has lost the series with one game to go. Stafanie Taylor was player of the match for her 73 runs knock. Karishma Ramharack got three wickets but her real contribution was the one ball she played which went for four runs. It was because of Karishma Ramharack only four that West Indies won the match and the series.
