It’s time for the final. It’s the match between the mighty Australia vs the sharp Indians. It will be fun to watch the match. The match is being played in the largest cricket stadium in the world. It will be the battle between the two deserving teams. If you ask me for prediction, then I think India will lift the world cup this time. Home ground advantage and almost all the players are in form. Moreover Rohit Sharma hasn’t lost any single final against any yellow jersey team  Grin . So definitely India is going to life the cup.
I have a feeling that this time Australia will take the Cup back home. The way these guys started and the way they are playing now it is quite possible they can choke the Indian team. India on the other hand would be under a lot of pressure this time as they will be playing on their home ground and in front of a big ground in the largest stadium in the world. Then the PM of India will be present to watch the match if they are unable to take the pressure they will lose. If they play in the same manner they have played throughout the tournament then they will win the Cup.
The key element is to enjoy the game as they have been doing since the first match. The strategy would be the same I guess not coming under any pressure from the opposite bowling side as seen in every game by the Indian openers. Toss would again play a crucial role in the finals and if the match is played on a red-soil pitch then it will help the spinners.
Today Narendra Modi Stadium will be filled to the brim with India fans. Not only the fans of India will be there but there will be big celebrities of India who will inspire India. With such a big pressure, India is going to face the five-time champions Australia today. It will be a different challenge for Australia here as they have performed well every time they have faced each other in the finalAnd they have been champions five times. In this case, India has faced each other in the finals several times but only twice they have been able to become champions and the other few times they have not been able to become champions despite having a chance. In this case, there is a discussion about whether the same thing can happen to Australia with India.

Australia team is favorite considering the final match. Because Australia has more experience of playing finals and becoming champions. But this season's scenario is completely different. Team India has been in great form since the first match and has been consistently performing well.
India played against Pakistan in this World Cup at Narendra Modi Stadium. In the match we saw excellent bowling from India. Pakistan managed to collect only 191 runs. Jadeja and Kuldeep's bowling was excellent. India reached the target of victory in 30.3 overs. So it goes without saying that India have a perfectly good idea of the pitch. Indian team will take all necessary measures to win.

Kevin De Bruyne is out of the squad due to injury. This is why Manchester City have become more dependent on Haaland's performance. But  since Haaland is consistently performing well, we are seeing excellent performances from Manchester City  in every match. On the other hand, Real Madrid team is dependent  on their midfielders. I have no doubt that the two forward  players Vini and Rodrygo are very talented. But they also miss plenty of easy opportunities. It is not possible for Real Madrid to maintain consistency depending on the performance of these two teams. Real Madrid depend on the performance of Kross and Bellingham.
Every club must have key platers that the tean depends on and when those players are not present in any of their matches, it will be noticed because the tram performance will drop. Gundogan and De Bruyne contributed a lot to Manchester City success last season and since Manchester City is lacking these two players, it will affect their performance in reaching the finals.

Real Madrid still have hope that Vini will be back to his top form after some time, we could see this in their previous match in their domestic league where these two players Vini and Rodrigo scored tow goals each. Bellingham is doing great and I don't think that he will not be able to bring out his best performance as he has already shown the world that he is having a wonderful time in Real Madrid with the way he performs his dying minutes magic goals. Kross is doing well only if he has injury that it will be a problem for Real Madrid. From the look of things, I think that Real Madrid has a better chance of winning the league than Manchester City.

The absence of Gundogan and De Bruyne from the squad has caused Manchester City to struggle at the start of the season. We saw Manchester City's unstable performance in several matches. But Guardiola  has managed to fix these weaknesses. Despite missing two key players like Gundogan and De Bruyne, Manchester City  have been consistently  improving and I would say City are no longer dependent on Gundogan and De Bruyne.
With Vini and Rodrygo back in form and scoring consistently, Real Madrid will no doubt be unstoppable. We don't get consistent performances from these two players. Vini scored 4 goals in 10 matches and Rodrygo scored only 3 goals in 13 matches. These two players should try to do better.

If you look at strength, PSG is indeed much stronger, but this season PSG is often inconsistent and so is Monaco, this is the same team that is inconsistent in my opinion, so anything can happen.
While the smaller odds for PSG are indeed feasible because the winning percentage is greater for them because it all looks at the team's strength.

For the whole of this season, even though PSG is inconsistent, I don't see any strong competition from other teams to stop PSG from winning Ligue 1 because other teams are also inconsistent, so no one can take advantage of PSG's underperformance to leave them on the standings.
I do not think that PSG is as inconsistent in the league as people think they are. They didn't had a great start and that part is true but then they ended up being so much better, and won plenty of enough games to be at the very top once again. When a team is at the very top, it is possible that they could end up losing games or getting a draw, nobody at the top just goes unbeaten forever, but it also means that they probably have a higher chance to win their games than anyone else as well.

This is why it's smart to bet on their win, they will probably beat Monaco and keep on being the leader of the league, is there a chance for them to fail? Of course there is, but I can't just bet on the off chance that PSG may end up losing points, it's much better to bet on them to win every game, even when rarely you are wrong, it still means that the wins would cover the difference and you should be profiting from them enough to cover the losses here and there.
I also do not understand what they mean when they say Paris Saint Germaine are inconsistent since the start of the season because I don't think they are. Like you rightly said, PSG had a poor start to the season with shocking results on games that they were expected to win but that immediately the club manager Luis Enrique found the best playing pattern for the club they started winning matches and have been the best side in the French Ligue 1 since then.
With what we've seen from the PSG team, I don't think there's anything that's gonna stop them from winning the league title at the end of the season because when yo talk of quality of players, they have the best in the league

Right now PSG is just dominating and there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that they are going to stay on top of the table for a long period of time. I actually don't think that they will drop from the first position honestly. But I think we should not underestimate the other teams in the Ligue 1 competition. Nice is showing good performance, Monaco is also on their tail. So the competition is not already over. But PSG is certainly the best team in the league and right now they are performing like one as well.

I won't say already that no team in the Ligue One is gonna be able to stop them. But it is going to be a hard job for the other teams for sure.

This year's Champions League has become quite competitive. Bayern Munich  and Manchester City have  very strong squads. And they  are consistently playing well. In addition,  Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Real  Sociedad Atlético  Madrid and Inter Milan  have performed very well. The four La Liga teams Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico  Madrid and Sociedad have played well and will  surely qualify for the knockout rounds. City, Munich and  Madrid are considered to be the  favorites for this year's title. However  the road to qualifying for the Champions League final will not be easy for them.
But a lot of things can happen until these games for the knockout round finally begin. For teams like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich it is incredibly important that the key players stay healthy. It would really change a lot for one of those teams if for example Harry Kane gets injured or Bellingham gets injured. I think Manchester City, due to having so many midfielders with offensive potential, would be most able to have a plan in case Haaland is injured. For Bayern Munich it would be tough and for Real Madrid Bellingham is also irreplaceable.
You are right, Manchester City is dependent on Haaland, Munich is dependent on Kane's performance and Madrid is now dependent on Bellingham's performance. And if these players suffer injuries in the knockout round, it will become much more difficult for the teams to qualify for the quarter finals. Because almost every team in the knockout round will be strong. So it will be much more difficult to win without a full strength squad. However, if clubs are not too unlucky their key players will not suffer injuries. Because Kane, Bellingham and Haaland are all fit enough.
Although Bayan Munich does not have injury problems, Manchester City has injury problems because of this, Manchester City is now very dependent on Haaland. But I wouldn't say that Real Madrid only depends on Jude Bellingham, although this midfielder regularly scores goals for Real Madrid, but along with him, there are several other star players in attacking positions who play important roles for Real Madrid. Kevin De Bruyne is one of Manchester City's key players but has been sidelined since the start of the season due to injury, meaning that the onus has fallen on Haaland in his absence. Haaland's performance seems to be slightly weaker than last season, the only reason being Kevin De Bruyne's injury. Kevin De Bruyne is great at assisting other players in the team to score goals which is why everyone else in the team gets goals. With Kevin De Bruyne back from injury, Manchester City will be a stronger team and Haaland will be more attacking.

Kevin De Bruyne is out of the squad due to injury. This is why Manchester City have become more dependent on Haaland's performance. But  since Haaland is consistently performing well, we are seeing excellent performances from Manchester City  in every match. On the other hand, Real Madrid team is dependent  on their midfielders. I have no doubt that the two forward  players Vini and Rodrygo are very talented. But they also miss plenty of easy opportunities. It is not possible for Real Madrid to maintain consistency depending on the performance of these two teams. Real Madrid depend on the performance of Kross and Bellingham.

The Bundesliga title will be harder to win. Winning against Bayern in 34 games is so much harder than winning a group against Qarabag, BK Häcken and Molde and then face harder opponents in a two-leg matchup. It may not be easier by a lot, but winning the Bundesliga is harder.
What is the chance that Sevilla wins the La Liga title? And what is the chance that the win the Europa League?
I think this is an example that shows quite well why these knockout competitions allow for more variance.
I know it is difficult to win the Bundesliga title. For more than  10 years, we have seen only Bayern  Munich dominate the Bundesliga. Bayern Munich won the title every season. However, last season and this season, Bayern Munich's power has decreased a bit. If Dortmund had won their  last match in the previous season, Dortmund would have been champions. And Leverkusen's performance this season  has surprised everyone. This is why I think maybe Bayern Munich's  dominance is starting to wane. Of course it  will be difficult for  Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga title, but if they do consistently well, I think it is possible  this season. Because Leverkusen's squad cannot be left behind in any part from Bayern Munich.
But this rather confirms my point. The problem is that Bayern Munich won the title in a season when they were weak and their dominance decreased. But if they win the title in bad seasons, what is the chance that someone else wins the title when Bayern Much has an average or good season? That shows how problematic a league can be when Bayern Munich can't even be contested in times of declining results.
But Leverkusen is really making some unexpected and impressive progress as a team. They finished the last season on rank 6 with no single win in the last 5 games. I think nobody would see this coming. If they can surprise the Bundesliga, it is not absurd to think they can do the same in the Europa League.

Bayern Munich's performance from the previous season was in decline. This is why it was easy for  Dortmund to get to the top of the table. Even then, the Dortmund team could not win the title in the end. But  you said that Bayern Munich is in great form this season, so it is not possible  for any other team to win the Bundesliga title. I can't quite agree. Bayern Munich is very strong and playing well it's true. However, the Leverkusen team  players are also playing very well. Both  attack and defense are very strong for Leverkusen. The  team managed to score 34 goals in 11 matches. Leverkusen's players scored an average  of more than three  goals per match. And  if Leverkusen can continue such a streak, it will certainly threaten the title for Bayern Munich. However, Bayern Munich are still considered the favorites for the Bundesliga title.

Of course, Barcelona and Real Madrid are the two most dominant teams in winning the title in La Liga. However, Atletico Madrid can occasionally break this dominance as they did in the 2020-2021 season. The good news about them is that Diego Simeone has extended his contract until 30 June 2027, which is of course good for the team and its mentality.

Diego Simeone has won 8 titles with Atletico Madrid since he arrived at the end of December 2011. He has had many seasons at Atletico Madrid and has won 2 La Liga titles so far. About this season, Atletico Madrid looks strong to fight for the title but I wouldn't believe that they can win it if Barcelona and Real Madrid play more consistently. So far Atletico Madrid has a chance, but it depends on how Diego Simeone and his team perform.
La Liga dominance teams only Real Madrid and Barcelona but Atletico Madrid ever won in season 2020/21, although last two season La Liga dominance by Real Madrid and Barcelona who take turns winning with Madrid season 2021/22 then Barcelona on last season. Good appreciated by Atletico Madrid management give extended contract from their manager Diego Simione will extend until June 2027 after his contributing winning two La Liga tittle.

Actually its good long term planning by Atletico Madrid management with long term contract for Diego Simione, since first time arrived on 2011 he will be more longer manager for one team more than 12 years if can stay until his contract expiry, Simione will be the same achievement with Sir Alex Ferguson who become Manchester United manager more than 12 years.

Atletico Madrid is definitely performing really well in this season. At least far better compared to what they were doing previously in other seasons. It also seems like they might actually give the top clubs a good competition for the title. I am still not sure if they are going to be able to perform like this throughout the whole season or not. But the start has definitely been a lot better. I actually expect them to continue performing well like this. And if they can actually continue performing like this, they will definitely be able to at least get ahead of Barcelona. Because I think Barcelona is not performing up to the mark.

Their match against Chelsea was far from normal. They were down to 9 men with 2 red cards in the Chelsea match, but they cannot have an excuse in the Wolves match because they conceded 2 goals in 90+ minutes and lost. If they had lasted a little longer, they would have gotten the 3 points, but to their great surprise, they gifted the 3 points to Wolves. They were doing well but lost 6 points in the last 2 matches.
Chelsea game have passed, the two fouls was actually a red card and these injuries will affect the performance of the team. There's nothing like lasting a little happen, the outstanding late performance displayed by Wolves was a great shock, the Wolves that everyone knew was less threatening but they came out and score two late goals that pushed them to be the winner against Tottenham Hotspur which I must blame on the other hand, they were leading the game since the early minutes of first half, then what are the remaining few minutes left, they couldn't hold on to the Wanderers and conceded goals that made them lose significant points.

The scenario of the match completely changed due to the fact that two players of Tottenham received red cards. Tottenham weakened and this opportunity was well exploited by the Chelsea players. Moreover, Chelsea players were very confident from the start of the match. And in the second half they went unchallenged. They attack a lot. With 9 players, it was almost impossible for Tottenham to counter Chelsea's attack.
However, Tottenham now face a major problem. Despite winning consistently since the start of the season, they have lost badly in their last two matches. Their attack is weakened. I don't know how Tottenham coach will protect the team from this problem. Tottenham may lose more points in the upcoming matches.

Bayern Leverkusen is currently a formidable and very promising team to win either trophies and I think that's their target this season, they play like they really want to end the season with a trophy because when we compare their performance in both leagues, they are doing really good topping at not leagues.
Imagine if Leverkusen can become a trilogy (win Bundesliga, Europa and DFB Pokal) this really a huge achievement for them since they haven't get any trophy since 1992. Do you think which is the easiest league from the three league I mentioned before? I choose Europa league because seeing Bayern Munich to lose looks impossible lol.
Leverkusen have been in great form this season. They hold  the top spot in the Bundesliga. They are 2 points ahead of Bayern Munich. And the team is consistently performing well in every match. On the other hand, he is playing very well in the Europe League  matches. It's hard to say which title will be easier for Leverkusen to win. Because there are strong teams  like Liverpool and Atalanta  in Europa League. So winning the Europa League title is not an easy task. I would say if Leverkusen only focuses on the Bundesliga then maybe the team can dominate the Bundesliga this season. Because their team is very strong this season.

Rohit Sharma on fire 🔥
Shubman Gill on fire 🔥
Virat Kohli on fire 🔥
Shreyas Iyer on fire 🔥
Kl Rahul on fire 🔥
SKY on fire 🔥
Shami on fire 🔥

If so many players of a team perform like a burning fire, then this year's World Cup trophy can definitely be expected for that team.

Forgot Kuldeep and Jadeja? These two were responsible for India's win when the last time they played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad (vs Pakistan). The pace trio of Mohammed Shami-Mohammed Siraj-Jasprit Bumrah is on fire, but let's not forget the fact that the Ahmedabad pitch is more favorable for the spinners. Now for Australia, they don't have a world class spinner. Zampa has been inconsistent so far, and apart from him they have some part-timers such as Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne and Glenn Maxwell. 

I would say Kuldeep Yadav and Jadeja will play the most important role if India wants to win the final match. Because Narendra Modi Stadium's pitch is spin friendly. Spinners have a chance to do well. And Kudeep and Jadeja are very talented. If these two bowlers perform well, it will not be an easy task to score high on this pitch against the Australian team. Every batsman in India is in very good rhythm. So I am not worried at all about India's batting. Now India will have to think of exploiting the full advantage of this bowling friendly pitch and putting the Australian batsmen under pressure. I believe we will see Indian dominance in the final match.
931  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ICC WORLD CUP 2023 DISCUSSION THREAD! on: November 17, 2023, 02:30:03 PM
The South African bowlers made the match competitive despite giving away a  target of just 213 runs. However, Australian  batsmen batted very  well in the first 10 overs. He scored 74 runs in the first 10 overs. Travis Head's innings of 62 off 48 balls kept Australia in control of the match. However, the match became competitive due to  the poor performance  of the middle order. I expected  a more responsible performance from the Australian batsmen. With such a performance, Australia will not be able to do well against India in the final match. To do well in the final, Australia's batsmen need to do better. India is a very strong team. If the batsmen perform so erratically against India, the attempt will be by a big margin to the Australian team.
South Africa can’t qualify for the final due to their batting and fielding. They couldn’t take very easy catches so they should have loss as a punishment for not playing well and they had, but on the other hand, it is a very sad moment for South Africa because they did very hard work for the World Cup but they can’t make it real,
and South Africa don’t have any good thing because they lost in 2015 World Cup and the captain of that time was Ab de Villars who cried and this time it was Temba Bavumba cried in the stadium because of Semi final loss and not making his team to clear the semi final hurdle.

It is very sad for South Africa. They performed very well in this world cup. In almost every match of the World Cup, we have seen better batting from the South African batsmen. South Africa used to score high especially in the first innings. But South Africa's top order collapsed very quickly against Australia. Apart from Miller, no other player in the squad batted well. If the top order batted a little better, South Africa could easily have set a target of more than 280. Along with batsman, the bowlers also gave a lot of runs in the first 10 overs. The performance of the bowlers was not controlled in the beginning. As a result, it was easy for Australia to control the match.

Bayern Munich will find it really difficult to win  UEFA Champions league this season because of some reasons,they have a squad that can win anything,but they still need time to play well with a top nine that is consistent in goalscoring.Kane has been an answer to that problem ever since he moved to Spain,and I knew what ever thing that made him start to find the back of the net,it would be his habbit to score goals.I so much have faith in Kane but despite all of these,I still dont see them as people who can win the champions league.There are few teams which I tip to be stronger than Bayern,and those teams are City, Arsenal,and Dortmund.I know it might sound some how that I chose Dortmund over Bayern,Yes,Dortmund to me look stronger in the champions league than Bayern.
That's because Dortmund has currently managed to top a group containing strong clubs in the Champions League. Dortmund appeared consistently to be able to move to the next round. but Munich is currently also very tough. although it's too soon to say they can get the Champions League trophy. but they have a chance.
it all also depends on the situation of their next opponents in the last 16. there will bring together more strong teams. We can see what happened last season when several strong teams ended up being eliminated early in the round of 16. we won't know the result, but Munich and other strong teams have the same chance of winning the trophy. it all depends on their efforts and preparation.
Their are lots of clubs that are performing well in Champions league right now, it is still early to tell which club will end up winning the champions league.  One thing I can see in the Champions League this season is that most of the big clubs are really doing well  which is making the league to be very interesting.  It is so impressive seeing Dortmund doing well in Champions league but it will be very nice if they can still maintain their good enery in the competition. The competition will be tough because it will be a fight between teams like Bayern Munich,  Manchester City and Real Madrid.

This year's Champions League has become quite competitive. Bayern Munich  and Manchester City have  very strong squads. And they  are consistently playing well. In addition,  Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Real  Sociedad Atlético  Madrid and Inter Milan  have performed very well. The four La Liga teams Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico  Madrid and Sociedad have played well and will  surely qualify for the knockout rounds. City, Munich and  Madrid are considered to be the  favorites for this year's title. However  the road to qualifying for the Champions League final will not be easy for them.

Yes, that's what I'm worried about and sometimes even a new coach will have difficulty providing direction in a team whose quality is very even. We know that Napoli's squad is filled with good players, especially Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia, so if Mazzarri cannot provide his strategy to these two attacking players then he is definitely a failed coach. Sometimes it is not an easy problem to solve being at a club with an even squad depth and if the desired results are not comparable then he will be under more pressure. Responsibilities as a coach at a club with the status of defending champion will certainly become more mentally distracting. However, it looks like we will first see his journey in leading Napoli and if the results continue to be positive then he can get full attention and support from the squad and fans.
There are rumors that Napoli wants Conte but may not be able to get the services of the coach and ultimately return for Mazzarri who I don't think will be too difficult with the current Napoli squad.
Mazzarri can show his quality until his contract runs out. This is a short contract I think Napoli also has other coaches in mind for next season. If it's impossible for Mazzarri to perform well, he could get a longer contract, not just to finish this season.

Napoli should go for some other coach. Someone who is definitely going to be better and someone who has proved himself in the past. I understand that they are always looking for Italian coaches most of the time. But I don’t think that is going to work very well. at least right now when there is a shortage of good coaches.

I do not think that extending the cult contract is going to help them too much. In my opinion, the coach is not going to be able to bring in incredible results. So it will be better if they look for other coaches.

Saudi Arabia, PIF and Saudi Professional League chose a right player to initiate their ambitious plan. He came to their league and unofficially convinced other star players in Europe to join Saudi Professional League. Just two seasons ago, it's hard to believe players like Benzema, Neymar, Brozovic, Mane, Laporte and more players who are not old yet, agree to move to Saudi Professional League.

Quote
The Champions league accepting Saudibis not that bad but they are not part of Europe so why the invitation. Ronaldo has been a good goal scorer this season both in scoring and assisting his team mates. He has scored more goals than most hyped young players uprising.
Invitation to the Champions League so they can make more money from Saudi with this they will also lose more players to Saudi.
This invitation and the participation of Al Nassr in Champions League, if actually happen, will be a big booster not only for Saudi Professional League but also for other leagues in Asia continent. The first is the hardest and if Saudi Professional League succeeds with it, other leagues can achieve same thing in future.

Cristiano Ronaldo just scored another goal for his national team and it's his 128th goal for Portugal, it is an all time record at international level.

Sometimes I feel like people are actually trying to end the career of Cristiano Ronaldo. That man is scoring one after another in the national team and also in his club, but no one is actually showing him any respect. But as soon as Lionel Messi starts scoring for any team, they start praising him a lot. It’s like Lionel Messi has become the favourite child of everyone and Cristiano Ronaldo is literally the middle child.

Anyway, if Al Nassr can actually take part in the Champions League, it is going to be really interesting to see how they perform. And I hope Cristiano Ronaldo will still be playing then.

There's no better candidate for the Manchester United job, asides Erik Ten Hag, I can only see Pep Guardiola as tue manager with capacity to coach Manchester United. But Pep Guardiola?  Grin
These are just little fantasies up in my head. To sum things up, Erik Ten Hag would do a better and perfect job for Manchester United with the right players!
After Alex Ferguson decided to retire as a coach in 2013, Manchester United tried to start a new era by looking for a new coach who could continue the success that Ferguson had achieved. However, until now it seems that there has not been a single coach who has been able to improve the quality of Manchester United like Ferguson did. Manchester United has replaced several coaches in the hope of being able to compete again in the Premier League. The last coach who was expected to make big changes to the Manchester United squad in fact failed to carry out his duties, Ten Hag was unable to make Manchester United a team capable of competing in the Premier League and Champions League.

Manchester United often inconsistent performance has made management start thinking about the next step in finding a successor to Ten Hag. Regarding Guardiola, it doesn't seem like he will destroy the beautiful atmosphere that has been built with Manchester City, he has become the most successful coach there and succeeded in giving Manchester City their first UCL trophy. There is not the slightest chance for Manchester United to bring in Guardiola, because so far he has been part of Manchester City success.


Well, I think we all know very well that Pep Guardiola has made a good system in the Manchester City squad. So he is not going to go away from the club before experiencing the success that he envisioned. And there is going to be a lot of talk all around the media if Pep Guardiola does decide to be the coach of Manchester United. Of course, I don't think that is happening any time soon, even if it does happen. And I will say that Ten Hag is doing absolutely trash job as the coach,  Manchester United didn’t like him from the start. And of course, still don’t like him now.

If a new coach has not yet been introduced at a club the assistant coaches or coaches from the U team usually take over. Following the dismissal of Urs Fischer at Union Berlin, the coach of the U19 team Marco Grote was initially introduced as the new head coach. That would not be worth reporting yet.
But now, for the first time, a woman has been appointed as a co-coach from a Bundesliga team. Marie-Louise Eta. She was co-coaching the U19 team.
So if no new coach is introduced before the next matchday, she will be the first woman in the Bundesliga on a regular matchday sitting on the coaching bench.

Okay, I am already thinking that the performance is going to be bad. I do not want to disrespect women coaches, but wherever there was a woman involved in a job that should have been done by a man, there had been many consequences. And even if I do not think about other consequences, I have to say the performance is not going to be as good as expected. The only way the performance is going to be as good as expected is if the woman coach does not let her emotions decide the decisions that she’s going to take. As we all know women are mostly erratic in terms of decision making.

Proteas had one strength in this WC, batting first and outbat their opponent and putting them out of the game convincingly but here comes the knockout and they are back to their usual stuff of choking.

Dream run and tons of potential but looks like their journey ends tonight and seems to be a one sided victory for Australia, only a miracle or some ridiculous bowling spell could save the SA.
Tabraiz Shamsi and kesev Maharaj struggling hard to save South Africa. But in the end, no one can say whether South Africa will be able to save the last. But everyone expects South Africa to win the semi-final and become the champion with India. But why fate dealt so cruelly with South Africa no one can say.
Australia won by 3 wickets against South Africa 215/7 in 2nd semi final, Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins won the match for Australia at last. Now It's an India vs Australia-Final of world cup. South Africa lose yet another semi-final. Travis Head played a excellent knock for Australia 62 off 48 balls. There was fight from both South  Africa and Australia sides, match turning point when tabriz Shamsi took the big wicket of Maxwell but the runs on the board are very short 213 for South Africa to defend.

The South African bowlers made the match competitive despite giving away a  target of just 213 runs. However, Australian  batsmen batted very  well in the first 10 overs. He scored 74 runs in the first 10 overs. Travis Head's innings of 62 off 48 balls kept Australia in control of the match. However, the match became competitive due to  the poor performance  of the middle order. I expected  a more responsible performance from the Australian batsmen. With such a performance, Australia will not be able to do well against India in the final match. To do well in the final, Australia's batsmen need to do better. India is a very strong team. If the batsmen perform so erratically against India, the attempt will be by a big margin to the Australian team.

Freiburg, a team that has had no trouble scoring goals in recent weeks, lost 3-1 away to Leipzig.Freiburg has an increasing goal scoring record when we look at their recent matches.They have scored in almost all of their last 12 matches and in this match they scored against their opponent, but one goal was not enough to win. Leipzig did not make any mistakes at home and won the match with 3 goals and added 3 points to their score and increased their points to 23.Although the point difference between Bayern Munich and Leverkusen is not much, it is at a level to close, so any points lost in these weeks could push them out of the championship race.
Freiburg's attacking line was amazing recently and they scored goals easily as you just said, but the problem with this team is about the defensive power and that's why they could not get a better place in the Bundesliga table. I think this team was recently playing against a team with weak defensive power and now the next team will be Darmstadt.

Freiburg's defensive system is a little bad, they conceded more goals compared to the productivity of the goals they created, so it is a little difficult for them to maintain their performance so far, but they are currently in 8th place, which means they still quite safe in their position. at least Freiburg must improve their defensive system so as not to concede so many goals.
Freiburg's Odds are quite convincing, but also a little doubtful, but if you look at it, it seems like Freiburg has the advantage of playing as the home team, so this can still be considered, like their last meeting, Freiburg could beat Darmstadt if they played at home, on the other hand Darmstadt could beat Freiburg when they played. home but these last 2 meetings are quite a long time ago so maybe now they are a little different and maybe many will favorite Freiburg in this match.

We haven't seen better performances from Freiburg in the last few matches. Out of 5 matches they have won only 1 match and lost 3 matches. However, Freiburg lost against strong opponents like Bayern Munich, Leverkusen and Leipzig. Each team is now on top of the points table. So I don't think they can win against Darmstadt as Freiburg have dropped points in previous matches. Darmstadt is quite a weak opponent for Freiburg. And I would say that Freiburg's players will make no mistake in this home match. By winning this match they will once again continue their winning streak. My prediction for this match is Freiburg to win 2-1 or 1-0.

South Africa have now collected 44 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 14 overs. South Africa have had a very strong start to this World Cup but the performance they put in today doesn't look like South Africa is very strong. South Africa won the toss and went into bat, losing 4 wickets under heavy pressure. The way South Africa's wickets have started to fall, it doesn't look like South Africa will be able to play the full 50 overs in this second semi-final match today. Based on South Africa's current performance I can say they won't score 200+ today. But do you think South Africa can play 50 balls under this tough pressure? And can South Africa score 200+ runs in today's match?
Today  it is the 2 semi finnal.It is the between south Africa and Australia. It is very important for both team. One team will win the match and reach the final.And will play against India. Which team is destined for today's match? Both teams are very big teams.South Africa won the toss and elected batting. South African batsmen are working hard.To win this match.South Africa batsman makes 44 run in 14 over and 4 outs. It is very bad condition for south Africa. South Africa have played 14 overs and the rain continues.now see who win the match. And who goes to the finals?
2nd Semi-Final after early falls south Africa fighting back Klaasen and Miller get South Africa to decent position 111/4 but An excellent over from travis head took 2 Crusial wickets of Klaasen and Jansen. de Kock opener of South Africa didn't perform out for 3 runs for 14 balls. South  Africa at present 119/6 in 31 overs. Their current run rate is low 3.84. Only one main bastmen is playing David Miller 48 unbeaten from 67 balls and bower Gerald Coetzee 0 (1). Now its very difficult for South Africa to posted 200 runs plus runs on board.
I don't know why Temba Bavuma has been given a place in the South Africa squad and captained. Bavuma played in 8 matches in this World Cup. And his highest score in 8 matches is 35 runs. And his total collection in 8 matches is 145 runs. And the average strike rate will probably be around 80. It would not be wrong to call Temba Bavuma the worst opener in this World Cup.

We saw Reeza Hendrick in two matches as Bavuma's replacement. Hendricks scored 85 runs in the first match and 12 runs in the second match. I think Hendricks is a better-quality player than Bavuma. Bavuma's bad start is why South Africa is in the bad shape they are today. South Africa collected 139/6 in 36 overs.

Hendricks should have been given a few more matches by the South African management. But they relied on Temba Bavuma and Bavuma has disappointed the fans in every match. We have never seen a better performance from Bavuma in an important match like the semi-final. Top order de Kock and Dussen also did not play well today. If Miller had not batted responsibly, South Africa would not have scored 150 runs today.

South Africa collected 212 runs in 50 overs. Dawid Miller was dismissed with 101 runs. This pitch doesn't collect enough to win it. At least more than 280 targets should have been provided. However, it may not be too difficult for Australia to collect 213 runs. I am looking forward to India vs Australia final.
