Afghanistan 91/0, 21 overs!
After the embarrassing loss in the first ODI, Afghanistan's batters demonstrated a strong response in the second ODI against Pakistan. The Afghan openers, Zadran and Gurbaz, played a wonderful game today. I truly enjoyed their performance, it was pure class, and they avoided any reckless shots. It's a positive sight to witness their comeback. Also, the pitch seems to be favoring the batters. The match could get even more interesting if the Afghan bowlers manage to turn things in their favor later on.

So my question is: is this market still profitable for new projects?
Few project that got launched might be doing well but the numbers of projects struggling or that have winded up as a result of the bearish market condition are numerous. I know few projects that have products under development. From the roadmap they are way beyond the time slated for launching, and whenever they are asked about launching, they kept saying they are waiting for a favourable market condition. My guess is they are waiting for the bull season before launching. The moment the bull season kicks in, the crypto space will be flooded with many projects because many developers see it as the right time to launch their projects. So true. I've also come across a lot of projects where their team says to launch and continue their roadmap when the market improves. But I've always had my suspicions about projects like that. Because the road map must still be passed and completed regardless of market conditions. Because I've seen a lot of new projects with the same reasons but after the market improved it turns out they didn't continue the projects they made at all. I prefer to look at big projects that have big investors in them. such type of projects are often considered too significant to face failure due to their substantial involvement. Choosing to invest in in big projects would be a profitable and more secure move. It's true that this community has shown a track record of supporting sustainable projects, but the real question is the level of profitability it can offer. Newcomers tend to seek investments that can yield higher returns in a shorter time frame. However, this approach might not necessarily align with the concept of sound investments. While some might engage due to their belief and attractive deal, but the idea is completely wrong. |

Congratulations to Inter Miami for being able to win the match. But at the same time, I have to say they were really lucky to be able to win the match.
Yes, Inter Miami were really lucky in today's win, and having Messi on their side felt like a stroke of good-luck. The match was fantastic, and Cincinnati put up a strong performance, but Messi's influence makes all the difference. He transformed Inter Miami from being the underdogs to a team that will be competing in their second final within two weeks, even defeating the top-ranked team in MLS. Congratulations another trophy loading. Just a random thought, I think that this Inter Miami's defense needs a boost. Adding someone like Ramos to their back-line could make them the most dominant team in America. |

Ireland vs India
Today is the 3rd match of Ireland vs India series. India won the first 2 matches. 1st match was not played fully due to rain DLS Method India won by 2 runs, India won the 2nd match by 33 runs. India's bowling and batting line is better than Ireland's. Ireland, a small team, will not easily win against a strong team like India. Today I think India will win, Ireland will be whitewashed today.
Even if they get whitewashed, it won't be a surprise to anyone. Ever since their senior players (Niall O'Brien, William Porterfield, Tim Murtagh, Boyd Rankin, Kevin O'Brien) retired, their performance have been pathetic. In the world cup qualifier tournament they couldn't even get to super-6. When they are losing matches to teams like Scotland and Netherlands, how do you expect them to win against a quality side like India? And this time, India send their second string team. Ireland still lost the first two matches and I don't have any hope for the third one. It is definitely not going to be a surprise if India does end up winning the final match of this series as well. I mean it is Ireland against India. This is what was actually expected. It is actually going to be a surprise if the match ends the other way around, it is actually going to be surprising if India loses. Yes, even with this second team that India is playing with, it is definitely going to be a little surprising to see them lose against Ireland. And definitely a win for India in the third match is expected. But I hope Ireland is not going to go down without a fight. Jasprit Bumrah has made a return for the Ireland series as a captain. His comeback as captain after over a year is a big achievement. Under his captaincy, this Indian team is now leading the three-match T20I series by 2-0. This result isn't unexpected, but it provides a major confidence boost to both Bumrah and the entire team, as they're heading for the Asia Cup and the World Cup. While we can expect Ireland to put up a fight, but no need to hype because they have their limitations and are still progressing. However, it's important for Ireland to show a strong and dominant approach. |

PSG should absolutely understand that they are not going to do anything good by keeping him in the team and definitely let him go at the end of the season. He is not even going to perform well enough if he is still in the PSG team after this season.
And if a player actually wants to leave I don’t think the club can actually do anything about that. I think Mbappé just does not want to upset a big club like PSG. And of course there is the Money factor. He is definitely getting paid, very handsome amount of money. And when the club is promising that they are going to increase the amount, it is actually hard to say no.
Mbappe is linked with club which we believed its real madrid, but the Los Blancos are yet to make any statement concerning the saga. Florentino Perez is a huge admirer of the Frenchman style of game, which indirectly means he will do anything to sign him over. Kylian Mbappe already made his decision to exits the club this summer as free agent. Which on the contrary will be a hugh loss for PSG in the transfer window. That's basically what PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi is preventing from happening, but I guessed it's late for all the negotiations. Los Blancos might be targeting to submit their offer in the closing days of the transfer window to pressure the French team into selling Mbappe. Outsmarting Perez in a transfer deal is a quite challenging job. The French club is nearing the end of the transfer window, and there's a significant risk of psg facing a major setback in this transfer saga. It's unlikely to happen that they'll retain their player and convinced him on sign an extended contract. Eventually, their fans might become upset again if Mbappe ends up leaving. |

Afghanistan bowlers have done quite a good job but there batsmen failed to perform there duty. This is first time Pakistan have won so easily against Afghanistan. Still Pakistan need to be careful in next two matches as Afghanistan is an unpredictable team and they have the tendency to fight back in upcoming matches. Pakistani batting lineup also need to play with caution, if they continue to give such performance in next matches then result might not be in there favour.
Afghan batting has been in very poor shape for quite some time. Their bowlers are very popular across the various franchise T20 leagues. But for some unknown reason, they don't even have a single quality batsman. Hashmatullah Shahidi and Rahmanullah Gurbaz have featured in a few franchise leagues, but these players are inconsistent. Ideally, given that Afghanistan is being gifted with such talented bowlers (Rashid, Noor, Mujib.etc), they should be able to perform well in ODI cricket. But everytime, their poor batting is costing them matches. A really embarrassing loss in the first ODI. After that defeat, they're putting in a lot of effort to recover. Afghan batters are really committed to improve their batting skills, while their bowling and fielding look quite promising. Fans are optimistic about that their team's performance in the upcoming second and third ODI matches against Pakistan. And success comes from hard work. |

Although Al-Nassr suffered two consecutive defeats in the Saudi Pro League. But at least they can still achieve a pretty good victory in the AFC Champion League. Well today Al-Nassr managed to win 4-2 against Shabab Al-Ahli. I hope Al-Nassr can also show a better performance in the next match in the SPL. In this match CR7 didn't score but he managed to make at least 1 assist. While Talisca scored 2 goals, S. Al Ghanam 1 goal and M. Brozovic 1 goal.  What a game!  Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr have confirmed their position in the AFC Champions League group stage. They managed to score three goals in the dying minutes to beat Al-Shabab Ali by 4-2! Though CR7 didn't get on the score sheet himself, but he created chances that helped his team score and turn the game around. I must say that Talisca is an amazing player. The most important thing is getting the results when it matters. |

Pakistan Vs Afghanistan
Today is the first match of Afghanistan vs Pakistan OD series. Pakistan won the toss and the batting decided. Pakistan were all out for 201 runs in 47.1 overs. Pakistan batted very badly today, Imam-ul-Haq scored 61 runs as the only player to score half-century in the match. A very low target of 202 runs in ODI format. Afghanistan were all out for 59 runs in 19.2 overs. A humiliating loss for Afghanistan. Haris Rauf bowled brilliantly taking 5 wickets with 18 runs in 6.2 overs, Shaheen Afridi took 2 wickets. Pakistan won by 142 runs, congratulations to Pakistan team.
Pakistan's pace attack was truly impressive. I thoroughly enjoyed their bowling performance today. They maintained good lines and didn't give any room for the batters to make their shots. Haris Rauf was outstanding, and unplayable tonight. His impressive 5-wicket haul played a crucial role to bundle Afghanistan out just only for 59 runs. His has improved so much, and Pak definitely need this kind of form from him in the upcoming Asia Cup and World Cup. |

Feels like the hardest part of the job starts now. He won the tournament and that's great, a cup that Miami never assumed they could ever win, and they are feeling amazing about it and celebrating and all that.
But they should remember that they are still at the near bottom for the league and it's starting back up again, which means that they need to keep winning so many games, when Messi arrived this team was at the bottom and Messi is a 35-36 year old player who played at his club first, then world cup, then his club again and without taking a break he went to Miami and started playing there, he will need to relax and rest a bit or he might get injured. All these risks means they may not finish the season that well.
MLS more interesting and growing popularly as we all know. Inter Miami players and fans are so curious to see where Leo Messi will heighten the club standards to. Inter Miami are not frightened by any club in MLS this season. When they have the undisputed GOAT in the team, everything concerning achievement is possible. Talking about Leo Messi at 36years old, he's fully fit and able to do the spectacular things he's popularly known for. Leo Messi is consistent player with promising duties for his new club, earning them a memorable trophy means a whole lot. Messi managed to win trophy with this team. I'm personally watching to MLS because of Inter Miami. Having the GOAT in their squad changed everything. Miami is now a team to watch, and they're good to go. For now if they win all their matches, they might not qualify for the MLS cup – it's a bit late for that. But that's not a concern at the moment. Things will fall in place gradually. There's no need to worry; they will stand up because they're a team with Messi. |

For me the only surprise of Manchester United's defeat I think is because of seeing Chelsea's condition which even though it is the worst possibility but some people still consider it reasonable with their current performance. On the other hand Newcastle losing for this week I think this must happen because their chances in this week 2 match are only a draw considering the opponent is City so they are not favored to win.
Back to Chelsea's current problems, they have to try again and this is one of the tests for Pochettino not to do the same thing because his club is now like being watched and once making a mistake, it will definitely reap criticism.
But this 3-1 for West Ham United is a lap in the face of all those who were full of optimism. And also, West Ham United was one man down for over half an hour and Chelsea could still not benefit from it. Now Chelsea has a couple of games with seemingly weaker opponents and if they screw this now and don't perform solid games, I am not sure how patient the club would be with Pochettino. But they can't change everything again after a few weeks. Optimism is not valid where Chelsea's attacking line is poor in finishing  17 shots only 4 on target it shows that their attack line still has the same problem. Whether it's a matter of adaptation or the wrong scheme we can only speculate but what is certain is that they really played very badly. Yep for now we just need to see some upcoming matches for Chelsea because then we will know better whether Chelsea can still improve their performance or it is the same as experiencing the same misfortune as before. The season has only just started, and the new players need time to adapt and work together. And maybe that's the problem! Chelsea should focus on attacking football. It's acceptable to play defensively against teams like City, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Newcastle, but not against West Ham. Chelsea lost their momentum in the match. They weren't getting the runs behind the right-back and centre-back, which made it too easy for West Ham. Anyway, see will see upcoming matches for Chelsea if there any improvement. |

Saudi teams continue to bring star players and they are getting more dangerous in time. If you have heard UEFA is thinking of starting to accept Saudi teams for the Champions League as of the 2024/2025 season as well.
If this really happens Saudi teams can suddenly start to be one of the most competitive teams of the tournament with these transfers. Of course this action will bring about financial fair-play rules for those teams at the same time. As of that date they won't be able to bring whoever they want for the Champions League. Otherwise there would be sanctions to be imposed.
But until then I can't imagine who the future transfers will be for those teams. European teams are starting to be desperate against them in race to sign players.
The Saudi Federation is in discussing with UEFA about having a Saudi team in the European Champions League. This might be challenging to happen. However, I wouldn't be surprised if UEFA is interested in this idea due to their financial interests. It's a smart move by Saudi to strengthen their league by using their resources effectively. If this deal goes through, Saudi teams might face difficulties such making of big transfers due to UEFA's financial fair-play regulations. It will be interesting to see how they perform well in high-level football without getting top-tier players. |

The Juventus team could not perform admirably in the last season. But since the team managed to secure victory in the first matches of this season with praise, we can expect the team to do better this season.
Last season Juventus was only hindered by a point deduction penalty, because if Juventus did not get a point deduction last season, Juventus would definitely be in the top four of the standings. And if this season Juventus doesn't experience similar problems again, I think Juventus is a team that their opponents still have to reckon with this season because Juventus is still a strong team in Serie A among several other teams such as Napoli and Inter. After facing a point deduction penalty last season, a solid start to the new season! Their performance in the first half was impressive. Juventus should maintain this determination to win throughout the season to reach top 4. I still believe Juve could benefit from a different coach with a fresh perspective. Allegri seems to be holding back the squad's potential. btw! The most important thing about this match is the clean sheet. Now, they need to aim for 37 more of those. |

It's true that it's too early to conclude everything, Barcelona are in trouble right now, but that doesn't mean they can't get up and turn things around. It is undeniable that Barcelona fans are very pessimistic now that they see Barcelona's performance which was very disappointing in the first 2 matches. Even though Barcelona won 2 goals over Cadiz this weekend but I think it was not a good performance from them, in fact this team's game seemed to not have many creations to score goals, Barcelona fully controlled the match but they had a lot of trouble scoring goals, fortunately Pedri broke the deadlock The last 10 minutes of the match and F.Torres added the advantage at the end of the match, I highlighted Barcelona's front line which was not very effective, I think Barcelona this season have to improve a lot more if they want to compete strictly for the La Liga and UCL titles. After seeing the two matches that Barcelona has played earlier this season, I conclude that Barcelona front line is not in the best condition. Barcelona had difficulty scoring goals despite dominating the match, they had to try hard to get a 2-0 win from Cadiz, Barcelona players were only able to break the deadlock 10 minutes before the end of the game. Again, Lewandowski has not been able to prove himself as a reliable goalscorer, in the two official matches that Barcelona has played he has not been able to score a goal. Xavi must immediately solve this problem, he needs to find a solution so that Barcelona's front line is productive again in scoring goals. Well the league is just starting and im not going to write off Lewandowski yet due to his inability to start getting goals at the early stages of the tournament, there are several top flight strikers that are having same difficulties currently but will definitely pick form along the line and even end up scoring braces or hat-tricks in several matches. Barcelona where very brilliant against Cadiz though they had a tough time in getting the goal at the 1st half of the game but they were very dominant and played like they really wanted to win the game which paid off with a 2-0 win later in the 2nd half, Lewandowski is an experienced attacker he's very good at the goal and gets it at Crucial times i believe that's why Barcelona got him, and sooner than later he'll begin to get the ball in the net. Lewandowski, despite being an experienced attacker, hasn't made an impact in these two games and seems to be struggling with opposing players. Maybe he needs some rest? He doesn't seem to be performing at his usual level. Although he assisted Ferran's goal, Lewa's form doesn't look promising enough. Perhaps giving him some rest during matches could be beneficial for the team. That's what my observation. A good ending though, but it was really a bad game. Anyway congrats on their first three points at home. |

Congratulations to UAE for their first ever win by 7 wickets and 26 balls left against New Zealand. Outstanding performance by UAE bowlers and batters chase down the 143 target in 15.4 Overs and 7 wickets in hand. The man of the match is Aayan Afzal Khan for his amazing bowling spell picking up 3 wickets by just giving 20 runs in 4 Overs. Muhammad Waseem batted well scored half century in just 29 balls and Asif khan also batted well 48 runs unbeaten and helps UAE to chase down the target in 16 overs. Now level the 3 match series by 1-1.
United Arab Emirates gave a surprise in yesterday's match. New Zealand could not perform well in batting, the bowling line also got a bit worse. UAE went down to bat with a target of 143 runs and scored 144 runs in 15.4 balls to win by 7 wickets. The three-match series is tied at 1-1. Today's match will be their final match. Today's match is also expected to be a competitive match. Because the United Arab Emirates has shown a great performance at home. The team that wins the match today will win the series. UAE defeated New Zealand for the first time in International cricket. Waseem and Asif Completely Destroyed New Zealand Bowling Line Up. UAE created history to win their first T20 against New Zealand I think it's a day to remember in UAE cricket. Muhammad Waseem batted very beautifully scoring 55 runs also Asif khan batted well and smashed all over the ground scoring 48 runs Not out in just 33 balls. Muhammad Jawad Ullah picks up also 2 wickets by just giving 16 runs in 4 Overs. Credit goes to UAE bowlers especially Aayan Afzal Khan for his well deserved man of the match award for picking 3 crucial Wickets. Once Again Congratulations to UAE for his well deserved Win I think he will have a chance to win this series. New Zealand faced their first loss against an associate team. UAE came close to victory in the first match too, anyway they succeeded yesterday. It's great to witness such competitive cricket from UAE against a test nation. Keep up the good work, and best wishes to all associate teams. If more associate teams get opportunities against bigger teams, they can become strong contenders in the near future. UAE has leveled the three match T20 series 1-1. The third and final T20I is currently ongoing; if nothing dramatic turn, NZ will win 2-1. |

I thought mbape would play perfectly against Toulouse in this very difficult game but in reality mbape's performance was not that great, I think somehow. with a 1-1 draw against Toulouse and while Toulouse is in 3rd place with 4 points, PSG is still in 8th place with 2 points which PSG coach Luis Enrique needs to improve for the next game.
Mbappe did not start the match, he came on in the second half and scored, so i don't think the discussion should be about Mbappe, but the psg team, they have not started the season well and i expected it to happen like this because of all the drama that was going on before the start of the season. The drama ended with Mbappe back into the team even though he hasn't signed the contract that psg want him to sign, when the club makes a player believe that he is bigger than the team, they will not be so successful. Luis Enrique is a very good coach, but he should have chosen another club, i don't think he will fix psg's problems, he can only do that if the club allows him to manage the team without them interfering in his decisions. It's just an unbelievable! A football club would prioritize building a team around Mbappe and leaves Messi, thinking they'll win the Champions League trophies? Despite all the controversies, we can't ignore the truth. They're in for a surprise. I hope they learn a tough lesson this season. In today's match against Toulouse, Mbappe's goal didn't secure a win for psg; it only managed a draw instead of losing points. The club has a big issue, and it's not going away anytime soon. |

Congratulations to Spain for the beautiful victory they embraced from England in the final battle, because many people predicted for the favour of England to win the trophy but their strategies failed in this last battle. It was a surprised for Spain to take the lead from first half with 1-0 till the end of the match without allowed England strikers to have their way to equalized the goal in the second half than to made their defense stronger not to allow any mistakes to occur that will lead to penalty shootout which was the hope of England players. I think, Spain really deserved this season trophy because their coach did a wonderful job in this final match that made the team to embraced FIFA women's world cup 2023.
Just as expected! England talks big, but can't back it up. Spain outclassed them completely. Those English fans who make a lot of noise are heading home without anything to show, like as usual. The English media always over hypes their teams while Spanish teams actually better side. Let's face it, England and finals don't have a great history, right? Spain was just better in every way. Their skills and physicality were miles ahead. Congrats to the Spanish women, they truly deserved it! |

I think we saw how good Newcastle United are in this match. I can say that they played a better match against Manchester City than I expected. Newcastle lost 3 points in this match and it's sad for them of course but losing by Manchester City wouldn't be a big deal because right now they are the team with the biggest title contender in the Premier League.
Etihad Stadium is turning into a fortresses. This Man City squad is on fire, picking up right where they stopped last season. Despite missing several key players, Manchester City keeps pushing forward. Pep's team is determined to defend its title. I have to admit, Newcastle did a good job by only conceding one goal against City. Not everyone gets the opportunity as they've held off the treble winners. |

It's a good thing, a new champion. I don't have a strong opinion yet to make my bet, people are believing in England, I don't disagree, but the way Spain is playing I know they are prepared as well and can win the match
The final of the women's cup is just as balanced as the men's final, and this is pretty good to the competition
Yes, I also agree! I would never have imagined that women's football games could be so exciting and competitive compared to men's games. Tomorrow's final will be an exciting game, I believe we will have a draw and after the end of regular time, England will win (of course this is my humble prediction) Let's see what the future will show us! This is first time in women's World Cup history England have made it to the final. Is it coming home? I’d love to see them to win. Let's hope the Lionesses shine, they've already outperformed the men's team! It's going to be a challenging match, though. Both teams are strong and filled with talented players, so it's expected to be a close and thrilling contest. |

Ronaldo's team lost 2-0 in this match against Al Nassr vs Al Taawoun. Al Nassr has been a strong team this season but their poor performance is really disappointing. The fact that they started losing matches like this at the beginning of the season is not a great sign for them at all. They lost two matches each and could not increase their points in the points table this season instead they are still at the bottom of the table with 0 points. But Al Nassr must prepare well otherwise they may not win the match, so all players must improve their game to win the match.
Al Nassr has a bunch of talented players, therefore watching them lose two games in a row is a bit disappointing. Anyway it's football, wins and lose are part of the game. But this won't let down them from winning the league title. Every successful campaign begins with challenges. Ronaldo's magic can't carry the team alone, and it's unrealistic to expect him to shine in every match. Let's get the positive vibe from it, because Al Nassr's back to back losses shows that the league has become more competitive, getting victory harder to achieve. |

Harry Kane gave Bayern Munich something great in his first match of his career for Bayern Munich. The first match started by winning. Harry Kane scored a goal and an assist in the first match. Harry Kane is a striker who is the all-time top scorer or second top scorer in the English Premier League. Being the top scorer in the Premier League for the majority of seasons for a team like Tottenham means scoring against many of the bigger teams, but Harry Kane has made those difficult tasks easier with his skills. Harry Kane coming from Tottenham to Bayern Munich is a good deal for Bayern Munich as both player and club will benefit from this deal. The club is dreaming of winning the league title and the Champions League title with Harry Kane in the team and Harry Kane is dreaming of the Ballon d'Or at Bayern Munich.
Impressive debut performance from Harry Kane with first match with Bayern Munich due one goal and assist last night against Werder Bremen, its not doubt have spent more than 100 million euro for signing Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur. It didn't take to long for adapting with Bundesliga and Harry Kane success give contribution and answer with public question have spent much fees transfer for sign him. I think Harry Kane has chance for becoming Bundesliga top scorer in this season and predict he can scoring above 25 goals in Bundesliga, huge expected with Harry Kane more success than Robert Lewandowski consistent scoring many goals every season with Bayern Munich. If not get injury and suspend I believe with Harry Kane has bigger chance to be Bundesliga top scorer this season. The excitement is absolutely justified! Bayern suits him well, no question no doubt. He scored a goal and assisted in his Bundesliga debut, that's fantastic. Keep those goals coming, Kane. We always knew he had a knack for scoring. Unfortunately, he spent a significant part of his career in a team with limited aspirations. These are positive signs for the future. Harry Kane scores his first goal for Bayern Munich. There's definitely more to come from him, if he clicks with his teammates. He has the potential to shine both personally and collectively! |
