Pakistan has been able to win the second match pretty easily. The first match was not played. The third match is going to be played tonight. I hope to see another great performance from Pakistan.
Many of us were very excited to see Mohammad Amir in the Pakistan team as he joined the national team after a long time and played against New Zealand.We all may have observed that the first T20I between New Zealand and Pakistan was abandoned due to rain but in the second T20I, New Zealand team batsmen could not stand up to Pakistan's bowlers.Mohammad Amir gave an impeccable bowling performance in that second T20I but suddenly he was dropped in the third T20I. The reason why he was dropped for the third T20 match against New Zealand is still unknown to us. The match in which Md Amir was dropped was Pakistan's seven-wicket loss to New Zealand which was not at all expected by the Pakistan team.

If there could be Asif Ali then we are likely to see the Pakistan as winner because at the last, there is only one player who can change the game, who can change the match but that player is not in the squad.

Asif Ali is one of the best finishers ever who can do finish a match against any team and he tries every thing to see his team as the winner every time, he can hit 4 sixes in an over for finish in the good way. I think so PCB should have to focus on it because he is such a wonderful player and Pakistan is also in need of a good finisher.

https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/asif-ali-494230



Also this has been in discussion in previous years also and can be further read here Asif Ali is what Pakistan needs, says ex-captain

Fakhar Zaman played very well and he was the only one who made a high score in this match from the Pakistan team. Fakhar Zaman could have played for much more time and maybe hit the century but the problem was that from one side he was hitting and from the other side, the wickets were falling.

To be comfortable with other partners was some different because Shadab, Usman Khan, and Abbas Afridi were not able to stay with him that is why, the balls were wasted and the score was less but still he played very amazing in those 45 balls that he used in yesterday’s match against New Zealand in Gaddafi Stadium where the ground was full with people.

LOL.. I noticed it. What I am saying is that it is even difficult to imagine (the scenario where Royal Challengers Bengaluru lifting the trophy at Indian Premier League. They were the runners up three times, if I am not wrong. But I think they will never become the champions as long as Virat Kohli is there. He is the ultimate panauti, both for his franchise and also for the Indian national team. Their women's team have already lifted the WPL trophy. But even after one and half decades the men's team simply can't become the champions even once.

I also do not know what needs to be changed in Royal Challengers Bengaluru team so that they may perform better in the next IPL season, Maybe the problem is at the management end, at the player's end or something is wrong with the team selection. We do not have the exact idea of the problem as the players playing in Royal Challengers Bengaluru, play best cricket when not play IPL, that is in the International matches etc, So defiantly it is not that Royal Challengers Bengaluru have selected poor performing cricketers. Not all all.

Also Imad Wasim did comeback in a good way but I think his performance didn’t come back. Bababr Azam belive on him that he would be do the bowling as he have done in the PSL final or Semi final match but now he was playing in a very normal mood and I don’t have any surprises with him in this match.

When Babar Azam out early in yesterday’s match then the crowd reaction was such hard to believe on it because many people took the poster of Babar Azam and just came to see him but unfortunately they were unluckily and when he was out then the silence in 40,000 people was something to see.

But it seems that we have seen this one in India in 2023 World Cup when Virat Kohli was out with Pat Cummins then the crowd silence was hit differently, and also when the Pakistan team lost the match then the silence also seemed like Ahmedabad silence of crowd when in the last ball Pat Cummins took the double.

Pakistan vs New Zealand 4th T20I

4th T20I between Pakistan and Newzealand will be played today at Lahore. Series is levelled after New Zealand beat Pakistan comprehensively in 3rd T20I. Pakistan really need to work hard to save this series after shocking defeat in 3rd T20I. The side winning today's game will save the series for itself. Before this series everyone was predicting that it will be an easy win for Pakistan but now it looks like it will be an interesting contest between both teams.

Pakistan won the toss and chose to bowl first which could be a nice decision according to me and the conditions.  Just because today’s surface is nice for batsmen and spinners as you can see in the pitch report where Pakistani famous commentator Urooj Mumtaz said that today the ball would nicely come to the bat which would be the advantage for the batsmen.

However, I think that pitch doesn’t have too much impact on the game because it is simple that the team who performed well would win the match. This is a simple math. After a few moments, we are likely to see Muhammad Amir, Abbas Afridi, bowling.

Anyways everyone will miss Rizwan in this match as he won't be playing in this series.

Rizwan to miss remainder of New Zealand T20Is with hamstring injury

Muhammad Amir and Imad Wasim would be play together today after such a long time. In the place of Abrar Ahmed, we could see Imad Wasim, and it is the first match of Imad Wasim after his retirement so of course, everybody is excited to see him but I think that maybe there could be a problem that you know sometimes, he failed to play and in this match and in a remaing one match, if he would fail then for sure he would not get a chance to play further.

But maybe he could play with Ireland after this series but also there is one more problem that against Ireland any player can play good and hence it won't put a impact on the selectors. Now, he had to play good in these two matches to proof himself.

The problem here is, how can we trust you?

Let's say we send you 1BTC, and you buy the miners and start with the farm, at any moment you could just disappear and avoid any kind of contact again, there is no way that we could recover our investment. The only way to make this fair and secure for the investors is with collateral, we send you 1 BTC for the miners, then you send 1 BTC to the collateral, if you decide to walk away with the money then we could recover it from the collateral.

There is no way to trust him unless you are also living in Kazakhstan and physically visit him and have the terms and conditions legally established. Sitting in other countries and sending the money for the mining equipment to a newbie on bitcointalk makes no sense at all.
By the way, if he had 1 BTC for the collateral, he would not be looking for investors in this project  Smiley


Hello! Kazakhstan.

I was just going through the legal status of bitcoin and bitcoin minning status in Kazakhstan and found this on google.

Bitcoin mining was booming in Kazakhstan. Then it was gone.

Any thoughts on this  Huh

Hayley Matthews was hit a century at yesterday's match and the more than half runs in yesterday’s match were made by Hayley Matthews but she also used the half ball to make this. She made 141 runs and used around 150 balls, so she was playing with the same strike rate with 100 strike rate.

However in ODI, there's not a game of Strike rate but in T20, Strike Rate is too much important and they must have to be prepared for T20 because as you all know, after the break of some days, there would be a T20 series between these both teams.

Hayley Matthews' 141 completes ODI series sweep for West Indies




Yesterday was the match between Pakistan women and West Indies women which was also lost by Pakistan women as usual and once again we saw poor match performance from them.

Pakistan was not able to play in a good way and this had to be a loss of back to back three losses in ODI matches. We haven't have seen any good batting from Pakistan women cricket team and if they are playing like this then they can be a loser too in the T20 series because as you know West Indies player make at least 25 scores on average, each one of them and making partnership but in Pakistan team, there is no discipline. They just have to hit the sixes which cause of their lose.
87  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price is going to touch all time highs on: April 22, 2024, 08:02:37 PM
Bitcoin price has already touched 69000 thousand dollars, which is the highest price of 2021. So how reasonable do you think it is that the price of bitcoin will touch 70k dollar again if it takes another step forward?
Bitcoin is just a few hundred dollars ($800) before it reaches $70k. I can give it a few days before it reaches $70k but I cannot tell whether it will be possible before then or if we are to wait much further for it. What I am sure is that $70k is a minor price that bitcoin must have crossed for this year. I am looking forward to a higher price of $150k that bitcoin will cross before the end of this year.

Unlike the previous bitcoin halving, when the price of bitcoin was far far away from its all-time high, this time bitcoin has already reached its all-time high before the halving.

You may call this a demand from the ETF or whatever, but one thing is that we are sure to see the surge in bitcoin prices making new All time highs and the top of the bull market will be very bullish and beyond imagination.


The higher the price of Bitcoin rises, the more new records will be created, after which the price of Bitcoin will certainly reach higher receptions. 
73k dollar
 74k dollar
 75k dollar
76k dollar....
 80k dollar...
 90k dollar....
100k dollar
 From here I can see new records being set as progress continues, and six figure prices being touched.


Many people thought that bitcoin should have reached 100,000$ in the last bull season but due to the pandemic the markets were slow and investors hesitated to invest in risky assets. This time we can easily see bitcoin above 250,000$ and beyond.
88  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Women's Cricket Prediction & Discussion - T20 & ODI on: April 22, 2024, 06:24:34 PM
I hope the Pakistan women's team is going to perform better and be able to win in the next match. It is probably not going to mean much. In the last match, they were able to perform pretty decently. It was bad luck and also some bad performance along with that which made them lose the last match. I hope they will be able to win the next match and at least salvage something.

Tomorrow is the third and the last match between West Indies women and Pakistan women. After this, the T20 series will come to an end which we are likely to see at Karachi.
The city with the name of Karachi is hosting back to back 8 matches in this and till now 6 matches remain to be hosted but after today’s match, there are only 5 matches left which are T20Is. I don’t think so that Pakistan women will win  any match in this series but let’s wait for the match because sometimes a lower performer team can perform better than the stronger team. 
Tomorrow's match is in the row, I think the West Indies women's team could win it and then they would like to whitewash the ODI series.
89  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Indian Premier League #IPL Cricket on: April 22, 2024, 01:51:58 AM
Royal Challengers Bangalore just can't seem to break their bad luck streak. Once again, they lost to Kolkata Knight Riders by just 1 run. It's really disheartening. They came so close to their second victory of this season but fell short. Royal Challengers Bangalore put up a good fight and deserved to win though.
It's the same story every year for Royal Challengers Bangalore, they collapse when it matters most.
Despite that, it was entertaining to watch. I enjoyed it.

Yesterday was a match in IPL that Royal Challengers Bangalore lost but we have seen that at yesterday’s match, there was no justice with Virat Kohli and Royal Challengers Bengaluru.




You can clearly see that it is no ball but the umpire didn’t give it even though he also takes the review but still, the umpire didn't take a side of justice. I don’t know why BCCI didn’t take any action on it. It seems like not a big cricket event. Such mistakes usually happen only in domestic cricket and not in big events like IPL. I do not say that Royal Challengers Bangalore lost because of this event, but still, it is a lot talked about on social media and by the RCB fans.
90  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Women's Cricket Prediction & Discussion - T20 & ODI on: April 22, 2024, 01:35:05 AM
Really dude I also feel that West Indies women sqaud is more powerful squad as compare to Pakistan Women squad according to first clash performance. West Indies women displayed such a beautiful performance in first match with huge difference of scores. Now again in second fight total of three, West indies women sqaud against highly possibility to get a victory in this match because fewer scores remain for achieve with lots of batter wickets and deliveries. At this moment, both Aaliyah Alleyne and Chinelle Henry are playing in crease as a batter and both these batters need 18 scores off 23 deliveries. This victory is so easy and simple for West indies women sqaud and by this victory, West Indies Women squad lead this competition with two victories. Shemaine Campbelle and Stafanie Taylor both displayed very impressive performance and build strong batting partnership with each other and achieve much scores of Pakistan women squad defeating target.

Today’s match was such a bad day for the Pakistan women's team and mainly for Nida Dar because once again she got a chance to play as captain but she could not do good captaincy that is why when Bishma Maroof came then she did captaincy once again.

Nida Dar cannot become captain again in any other series because if her team could have won these two matches then maybe there is a chance for her to become captain. She was playing well but I think her playing 11 is not as well as it should be or she deserves. Only Sidra Ameen and Bishma Maroof did some good batting where they scored 50 and 65 runs respectively. Both of them could not match the inning from Stafanie Taylor who made 73 runs while chasing the target for the West Indies team.

It's no surprise that eSports betting are getting popular now, especially for online games which now have a million dollar winning prize. I do place bets in eSports leagues for more than a year now and there's really a lot of professional gamers in different game leagues. Though there's only few games are known such as Dota 2, CS:GO, Valorant but I've seen there are some other eSports like Mortal Kombat, Rocket League, etc. that was also available but was not that popular to gamblers.

I do not participate much in the esports betting as I have more interest in other real sports and not in this eSports but I remember that esports betting was most popular during the pandemic when we had no other sports. At that time, many people came to know about esports betting and from that time, we see a big volume in them.

One more thing is that you sometimes find good odds in eSports and they are worth taking the risk. Unlike other sports where bookies knows who is the clear favortie, here the betting sites sometimes aren't sure about them and therefore one can find some really good odds.

Yeah Aamir come back very strongly. His performance in the PSL was not good but he still lucky to get an opportunity in international match and he proved that he has still potential to play for his team. Now he need some consistency to show good performance in the remaining matches to book his seat for T20 world up.

Shadab Khan also did very good bowling as you can see he took 2 wickets and in the first wicket there was the hand of Naseem Shah behind Shadab Khan which I will explain to you.

When Shadab Khan released the ball then the batsmen hit on the down leg side where Naseem Shah was present and the ball height was too low even if Naseem hit the dive still he could not pick up the catch but he was a genius and he presented in his location and lies down on that location which cause of direct ball to his hands and then Shadab Khan picked his first wicket.
93  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: April 21, 2024, 09:22:22 AM
Yes you are right that was very exciting match and Pakistan won this match easily. And all the credit goes to the Pakistani bowlers who bowled really well.

Abrar Ahmed played very amazingly at yesterday’s match. We can relate to this after seeing Abrar Ahmed's performances. He picked two wickets in the same over. He did the 6th over in which he didn’t pick any wicket but in the second over that done by him which was the 8th over overall in the match and in the first ball of that over he picked the wicket.
Then after dot a ball he picked once more wicket at the same over. In that over, he gave out to MS Chapman and JDS Neesham, these wickets were such a huge loss for the New Zealand team and they were starting to hate Abrar Ahmed for sure.

Pak vs New Zealand Second T20I

My prediction for second T20I went true, New Zealand team was not able to play there full 20 overs rather they were all out in 18.1 overs. Pakistan need 91 runs to win this T20I. This is not full strength New Zealand squad because there main players prefer to play IPL over this series. Pakistan should also have given chance to there new players in this series but they are playing with there main players. Pakistan are so far favourite to win this game.
In today's 2nd game of series New Zealand made only 90 runs for all out. Excellent bowling by Pakistan bowlers the dominant on new Zealand batsman Shaheen Afridi takes 3 wickets while its 1st T20 match for Muhammad Amir after back from retirement after 4 years. Pakistan easily chased down the target 92/3 brilliant batting by Muhammad Rizwan with 45 runs single handedly won the match the main benefit for team Pakistan on their home is that New Zealand playing with his B team. Their main players are playing ipl further pakistan won this match by 7 wickets in Pindi.

Does this mean that all the matches in the series will be one-sided as the New Zealand main players aren't available because of the IPL  Huh On the other hand, Pakistan is playing with its full strength as they do not participate in the IPL.

I do not think this is a wise approach by the New Zealand to send the B team for this important tour. Also, we know that during the IPL, no other international matches take place so why this series is scheduled in this time ? It could have been delayed so that the New Zealand could come with its A team and we could watch competitive matches.

With this performance by the NZ, we can only say that Pakistan will sweep the series 4-0. The first match was abandoned due to rain otherwise it can be 5-0 too.
Here I believe both boards done mistakes but still I will blame PCB more for this all because they have never been well organized and having anything which give them some solid favor if we have New Zealand B team then surely they also needed to allow their youngsters for this series, but they are going with full strength which is not helping them in any way.
First match was abandoned due to rain and second match we have New Zealand bundled out for 90 runs and Pakistan won by 7 wickets which is good here if anyone can explain just waste of sources and time as well if they bring two Pakistani teams and have match surely this could be more interesting than this match which is having no entertainment or anything interested for the fans who were waiting for long time to have some good cricket.

Not only PCB is at fault in this case but also it creates a risk for their team and reputation. Let's suppose if the New Zealand B team is able to win a match or two, it will create a further bad impression on the Pakistan team that they lost to a B category team despite being playing with the full force.

Also, if they whitewash the series, still no one will give credit to them because everyone knows the weakness of the opponents and New Zealand board can always make any excuse in press conferences, print and electronic media that they lost because they did not have their main players free for this series. This makes the Pakistan victory meaningless.

The 36th match of Indian Premier League will start today, the team of Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bangalore will participate in this game today. In today's game there is a huge difference between the two teams Kolkata Knight Riders team is occupying the third position in the points table, and Royal Challengers Bangalore team is in the 10th position in the points table which is at the bottom of the points table. But in today's game I will definitely support Kolkata Knight Riders team and the chances of winning are very high.
post link
In Royal Challenger Bangalore vs Kolkata Knight Riders match today, the difference between the two teams is definitely more because of the points, but Royal Challenger Bengal is quite a good team but they are not able to prove their worth in this IPL because they are at the bottom of the points table. Only for king virat kohli i support royal challenger bangalore but the team is not giving good performance this season the way they are playing lost every match so far but let's see how they will perform in today's match against kolkata knight riders. The team of Kolkata Knight Riders has been performing very well, so in today's match, Kolkata Knight Riders will definitely want to win against Royal Challenger, on the other hand, maybe Bangalore will want to get their first win in Royal Challenger. Now let's see which team can win the match by performing well on the field.

There is no match between these two teams and therefore i also expect that Kolkata Knight Riders will win this match with a big margin. Though Royal Challengers Bengaluru may be out of the tournament (they have won only one match in their seven matches played) , this match is utmost import for the Kolkata Knight Riders to get the two points and level with Sunrisers Hyderabad who already have 10 points.

After this win (if they win), Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders will be equal with two points but since the NRR for KKR is better at the moment, the Kolkata Knight Riders can move up the position no. 2 on the points table.

I hope KKR and Shreyas Iyer (their captain) take this match seriously, not only win the match but win it by big margin so that they further strengthen their run rate.

97  Economy / Gambling / Re: Why not create a Gambling platform on Market narrative? on: April 20, 2024, 07:47:10 PM
Then, why not create a platform for predicting the performance of any cryptocurrency or a platform for predicting future trends in the market or both?

What are your thoughts on this?

There are two things to note here. First, predicting the performance of the cryptocurrency is same like predicting it whether will pump or dump or the price of that cryptocurrency. This is already handled in a much better way in the future trading market where we take long or short position on any cryptocurrecny. Also, there are platforms like freebitcoin where we can bet on the monthly price of bitcoin and Ethereum.

Secondly, if you say to predict the future trends whether the next hype will be of defi coin, meme coins, gaming coins or AI coins etc, then there is no definite answer to it and most of the time one or more categories are in trend so it is difficult to select a winner for such bets.

I’m in Canada but I want to play on stake us crypto casino. Paying anyone who opens an account for me $25.

My question is that why would you want to use the US platform to gamble ? Does Stake does not allow you to make account in Canada ?
What is the advantage of the US account for which you are even willing to pay ?

I think you need to move your thread to Services. There will be people accepting this offer actually as long as they are willing to risk and $25 is just too small.

It's just not recommended to submit your data for someone else account though, because we just don't know what OP did in the past that Stake is not allowing him. Hem must be banned already. You will also be affected if he does something crazy again in your name.

Even if he is willing to give more money, it iis not recommended to create account for someone else when you will be doing the KYC with your documents. If that account is misused, all the legal actions will be taken against the person who have done the KYC against that account. It is not worth taking the risk.
99  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: No gambling today due to bitcoin high transaction fee. on: April 20, 2024, 03:52:00 PM
This high fee is probably due to the 4th halving that was completed. I haven't seen this type of transaction fee this hight.

If you look at https://mempool.emzy.de/, the current transaction fee is  over $50 but in the past few hours it was over $100... So if you are a gambler who doesn't gamble that much like your range is only $10 to $100, it's impossible you will choose to gamble today with that very high fees.

This is only for gamblers who use bitcoin as the payment method, how is going today? Who among us here can still afford to gamble?

Some people already have Bitcoin on their gambling accounts and therefore they do not need to transfer the Bitcoin to the sites and thus this high fee is irrelevant for them and they can continue gambling with Bitcoin. However, if they withdraw today, they will have to pay a high withdrawal fee, so they can postpone withdrawal for a few days.

Also, I would like to know how many percentages of gamblers, gamble with Bitcoin and what percentage uses the altcoin for gambling. Maybe I will start a poll for that in a separate thread but as per the discussion here on different threads, I believe that most people gamble using altcoins as they are cheap in transactions and also have fast tx speed.
100  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mempool Observer Topic on: April 20, 2024, 06:13:38 AM

To be honest, i never seen such high fees at mempool before, over a 1000Sats/vbyte  Huh
At first thought that after the halving some miners may be shut down, resulting in the backlog of the transaction but later i found out it was because of Runes, this fee spike.



Miners must be enjoying this while the rest of us are just waiting for the dust to settle.  Sad
