The Netherlands played two matches against Sri Lanka. They were badly defeated in both the matches. In both the matches Sri Lanka set a low target but the Netherlands could not win. The Netherlands scored 192 runs against Sri Lanka in the previous match and today they scored only 105 runs. I don't think this team can play well in the World Cup. They will lose every match.
Netherlands is the best team that is available to get a slot in the final 10, think about a scenario when other associate teams gets a slot, it will be a one sided affairs and there is no way they are going to upset any major teams and the thing that is going to happen is that the teams facing Netherlands in the World Cup would view it as a practice match to boost up their averages Cheesy.

Netherlands are finalists of this CWC and they deserve to play the world cup. Netherlands is not playing the WC for the very first time as they played 1996 ODI world cup also. All teams need to be careful while playing against Netherlands as they have beaten WI while have given tough time to SL.  Netherlands bowling is good but they need to pay attention to there batting.
Netherlands doesn't have consistency in performance. At times the batting order performs well and bowling line-up too gives the best. The best thing happened with the match against West Indies. Look at the match against Sri Lanka, the bowling order performed well and the batting order completely collapsed. I don't think Netherlands would be making big change in the World Cup Matches.
After observing Netherlands perform we can can assume that they normally play good against any weak team. Many of us start dreaming about their team after few good matches but in reality, it is unlikely that it will happen. Because they can't perform as expected with the experienced team. Netherlands (edited) inconsistency will not allow them to go far in a World Cup where every team is more stronger. I think this team should regain their consistency back as soon as possible.

In this match New Zealand Women have won the toss and decided to bowl. Sri Lanka Women have started the innings scoring 21/3 in 5 overs. Rain have delayed the game. This is a series winning match for New Zealand Women team as they've already won the first T20 match. Both the teams have faced in 10 T20 matches and every match have been won by New Zealand Women team. Sri Lanka have good players and slowly they're getting importance. Over time we can expect the team to improve whereas New Zealand Women team is one among the best and the goodness is that the Women team were given equal importance same as the mens team by the New Zealand Cricket Board.
Now the Srilankan women team has made 71 runs in 14 overs and lost 4 wickets. They are nearly same as the previous match. They made 72 runs in 14 overs in the last match. But in the last match they lost 6 wickets at this stage. But today they lost only 4 wickets. But still New Zealand women team is looking strong. I hope they will win again.
New Zealand women's team is undoubtedly a strong team in T20 cricket who also holds a good position in the international women's cricket rankings. It is natural that a team ranked 8th would have a higher chance of losing to a team ranked in the third position. However, if the Sri Lanka women's top order could have done well in today's match, then there would have been an increase in the number of runs. Vishmi Gunaratne, Athapaththu and Kavisha Dilhari none of them could reach double figures. As a result the team has been restricted to only 118. The target given by them was not a big obstacle for the New Zealand team, so New Zealand women team win there very easily.

Gradually investors are increasing their investment amount. Along with new investors, institutional investors are also joining and they are also starting to trust Bitcoin. As a result, Bitcoin started to move upwards slowly. Moreover, there is also a possibility of SEC allowing ETF trading in recent times. As the time for the upcoming Bitcoin halving approaches, it will gradually lead to a Bitcoin Bull Run.
Those who are able to take advantage of this opportune time to grow their portfolios will be the ones who will benefit the most from the Bitcoin bull run. Moreover, with the strength that Bitcoin has accumulated from long bear markets, there is no doubt that it will be stronger in future bull markets than in the past.

That would be a great record to have, but FIFA is so concentrated on making money and extracting as many resources from the world cup that it would not surprise me if at some point they had the fantastic idea, notice my sarcasm, to play the world cup every two years instead of doing so every four years, in which case the record of Ronaldo will be easily crushed, now this may seem unrealistic now but it would not surprise me if they actually tried to do this in a few decades.

World Cup every two years? Impossible!!!

As ambitious for money as FIFA is, this would be a totally inappropriate suggestion for a competition of the magnitude that the world cup has.

In order to hold this event, there must be large investments by the host countries, a lot of mobility and changes in the schedule, there is no way to do this every two years.

Fifa has already increased the number of teams in the competition and this is what they can do best.

Another solution would be to make the tournament a regular competition and more spread out between the years, but that would take the "brightness" out of the tournament and become a "normal" competition.

The less Fifa messes with the world cup, the better!

You didn't even notice his sarcasm Cheesy he just said it mate.

A World Cup in every two years really do sounds ambitious and I don't think that it will be granted if ever the FIFA council will try to make it. Countries around the world will lose their desires to host for this kind of event as it will be not rare anymore and people won't be that interested anymore as they know that they can always see the next World Cup in the next two years, instead of four years where they will indeed prepare for it and will not lose the chance to see the event.
World cup in every two years would be interesting and the competition will loss it's value and zeal of players to be part of the competition. FIFA wouldn't even try to put it into consideration because it will be stressful for them too. So much funds will be involved within a short period of time that might become a burden on the host country. I guess FIFA might have thought of this due to their love for money but they must have considered it boring. For a player to appear in three consecutive world cup competition that means that the player started playing very young but if it is every two years,I might say that the same country might win it back to back.
In football, not only the World Cup is held but several tournaments are held every year and after two years usually the Copa America and Euro tournaments are held, in which case it is a good decision to hold a major tournament like the World Cup every four years. When the World Cup tournament is held after four years, this World Cup is of great interest to the people of all countries. If this kind of tournament is organized every two years, it will be very difficult for FIFA to collect such a huge amount of funds and FIFA will not get the popularity that it gets if it is held every four years. If the World Cup could be held after two years then FIFA should have decided long ago. Since many tournaments are held every year, the World Cup should be held every four years.
When the world cup football is held all over the world, the whole world focuses only on the world cup football. Due to which, apart from football lovers, many people express their interest to watch the World Cup. Football world Cup is organized every four years, it creates a festive atmosphere for the entire world. If this world cup is brought in 2 years instead of 4 years then it will definitely lose its popularity and people's interest. Moreover, few other tournaments are held after two years, there is a possibility of losses in those tournaments as well. So overall I think hosting World Cup football every 4 years is more relevant.

Very worst performance have come from Bangladesh. The team was in good position with better confidence winning its recent series against Ireland, gave tough fight in the series against England, won against india. Likewise the team was at its best. All of the sudden Afghanistan have made the Bangladesh team really low with the batting and bowling. Both the openers of Afghanistan scoring century shows how good this team have practised. A big learning for Bangladesh before the World Cup and the Asia Cup.

Bangladesh can not expect such a bad performance from them. Because the past matches were hard fought and won the reputation but Afghanistan pushed Bangladesh to utter destruction. Neither of them could perform well in terms of bowling and batting, which is why Bangladesh's result stands today. Although Bangladesh started this ODI section with such poor performance I think Bangladesh will lose in the third match. Here Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zardan of Afghanistan have taken the Afghanistan team to the top of the victory with a fiery performance.

Even the previous loss isn't that bad. For that itself the captain ended his cricketing career and he have taken back the decision just because the Prime Minister have requested. Now he might have thought we shouldn't have taken back the decision. As said the top players did the best, and what a partnership from the two. They have played as if like they've played more number of matches.
Bangladesh team needs Tamim Iqbal at the moment as well as in the upcoming Asia Cup and World Cup. Tamim Iqbal is a reliable batsman for the Bangladesh team and currently he is captaining the Bangladesh team. No one expected his sudden retirement. The senior officials of the cricket board tried their best to withdraw from his retirement announcement but he did not accept their request. Finally he changed his status at the request of the Prime Minister of Bangladesh. But the way the Bangladesh team lost yesterday's match due to his absence, it is not difficult to understand how important Tamim Iqbal is for the Bangladesh team.

Bangladesh VS Afghanistan

Bangladesh may not win the ODI series against Afghanistan. After winning the toss, Bangladesh captain Liton Das decided to field. But the performance of Bangladeshi bowlers is very bad today. They could not take any wickets even in 35 overs. At the end of 35 overs, Afghanistan collected 242 runs. Opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz remained unbeaten with 132 runs and Ibrahim Zadran 78 runs. And if they continue to bat like this, Afghanistan will give a target of more than 370 today. It is very unlikely that the Bangladesh team will win by batting on such a big target.
There is no way Bangladesh can win against Afghanistan today, as they will take a target of 400 runs as Afghanistan's opening pair are scoring runs at a fast pace. As Afghanistan's batting at familiar venues and at home in Bangladesh, it looks like Afghanistan are on the field today to win the series. As Afghanistan's opening pair has already made a partnership of 250 runs. Rahmatullah Gurbaz (145) and Ibrahim Zadran (79) remain unbeaten. If Bangladesh cannot break this pair then it can be assumed for sure that they will score 400 runs and Bangladesh bowling department has failed.

Edited
Breakthrough by Shakib.
Rahmatullah (145 )lbw by Shakib

Afghanistan lost two wickets in a row. After Rahamanullah Gurbaz got out after scoring 145 runs, Rahmat Shah returned to the fold with just 2 runs. But Ibrahim Zadran is still at the crease with 83 runs. The team managed to collect 263 runs in 38 overs. Afghanistan will collect at least 80-100 more runs in 72 balls. And collecting more than that is not surprising. The target will be more than 350. But perhaps Afghanistan will not be able to collect 400 runs. It is much more difficult to win by batting at a target of 350 runs on such a pitch. The Bangladesh team is probably going to lose the series due to defeat in the first two matches.
Bangladesh team made a good comeback but if it was earlier then the match would have been easier for them. Afganistan first wicket fell at 256 runs and then one by one come and go. The remaining 8 wickets fell in just 78 runs. After the wickets of Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran fell, neither got expected score. If the players of Bangladesh team could have taken the first wicket earlier then the direction of this match could have changed. Anyway, Tamim is not in the Bangladesh team, so there is some weakness in batting. However, there is still no certainty about the victory of this match who is going to win today's match.
987  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as an opportunity for the unbanked. on: July 08, 2023, 12:06:07 PM
I want to categorically tell this set of people that Bitcoin is the way forward for you, bitcoin works for everyone, and the system was designed in a way that every interested person can participate.
Bitcoin allows you to be your bank and be in charge of your money with no interference from anyone. Participation is dependent on your interest, not your identity, that's to say that everyone can be involved without their identity known. Note that blockchain technology guarantees your Bitcoin security, so don't be afraid just give it a trial but with a little money I believe you won't regret it.

In case you are one of the persons that store all their money at home in a big vault, you might be reluctant to transfer all your money into bitcoin. The upside of having fiat money at home is that you can see it, touch it and even when the whole world breaks down you will probably find other people that are willing to trade with you for that money. Making now the switch to a fully crypto wallet can be a hard step for people that are so used to using cash in their daily lives. I would recommend to not move too fast and rather slowly ease into the crypto community. Why not start with building a crypto portfolio with 10-15% of your wealth and slowly build it up over time. Bitcoins are a good currency to store value online, and its also a great opportunity to make some money longterm. But I wouldn't recommend to put all our money into one single asset class, better to spread it out and diversify in multiple different assets.

Is it safe for those who have a lot of fiat money and keep it in a vault at home instead of depositing it in the bank? Of course not. But if fiat money can be converted and transferred to bitcoins then it can certainly be safe if he can store the bitcoins properly. A person using a vault at home worries about the safety of their money when they go out, but a Bitcoin investor can be completely safe from such worries. For a new investor I would agree with you that he can keep 10-15% of his wealth in Bitcoin. After that if he feels, it can bring benefits to him then he can increase his portfolio as per his wish.

I thought the Australian women's team would lose by a big margin. Because the team was losing wickets very quickly. But Ellyse Perry batted well. He was able to play an excellent innings of 51 runs in just 27 balls. However, Australia lost the match by just 3 runs. With Ellyse Perry, if one more batsman would have been able to bat responsibly, Australia might have been able to win the match. Australian women's team lost the first two matches of the series.
Even Australian men's and women's are dominating in this tour and have enough wins but in this match we have good fightback from English women's after scoring 186 runs their bowling done good job and takes few early wickets which helps them for keeping pressure on spirited Australians which fights till end and Ellyse Perry try her best to win this match but sadly not able to do this again now series is level with the score of 1 - 1, and we have final at the Lord's on 8th July which will decide who is going to win the series.
In this match England start was good which helps them for having very competitive target on board even losing wickets Danni Wyatt keep her cool and give her team chance to have very good target for to defend which helps them for win this match.

Australia tried really well but was unable to actually win. Australian women lost the match by only three runs. I honestly did not think that England women will have so much problem trying to win this match. The target was really good. The problem is Australia lost wickets at regular intervals. England has started well, but they failed to do anything once the top order got out. Australia was at least consistent. But Mooney, the opener needed to have a better strike rate.
Australia defeated that match because they haven't scored as much as they need after the first 6 overs. But towards the end they were active enough to change the outcome of the match. Australia women team scored 19 runs in 18th over, their collection was 11 in 19th over and they scored 16 runs in 20th over. They were able to score 46 runs in these last three overs. If Australia team could add some runs in the 16th over, It would not have been difficult for the Australian women's team to win that match.

Afghanistan Cricket Team vs Bangladesh Cricket Team. In today's match, Bangladesh cricket team won the toss and decided to field first. Bangladesh team's performance in today's match does not seem good. The bowlers of the Bangladesh team have not shown anything good yet. So far 31 overs have been played, but the bowlers of the Bangladesh team have yet to knock down any batsman of the Afghanistan team. The bowling line of Bangladesh team is very weak. Afghanistan cricket team's score so far, 191 runs for no wicket in 31 overs
Despite having good bowlers in the Bangladesh team, they have not been able to remove anyone from the Afghanistan team. The team currently score 242 runs by batting 35 overs. Shakib Al Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman both of them bowled 7 overs but did not get any wickets. It can be said that their chances of winning today's match are very low. As Afghanistan team did not lose any wicket. So every batsmen will try aggressive batting. So there is no doubt that there will be a big score in today's match. At the time of writing the post Bangladesh team has already taken one wicket. Rahmanullah Gurbaz returned with 145 runs,Bangladesh legendary cricketer Shakib Al Hasan picked up the wicket.

Knowledge is power, and I believe that it is true if you are knowledgeable you know how to handle most things or events, and that also includes in crypto or investment.
In order to be successful we have to learn how to manage our investment and when to trade our asset, so it is important to know more before investing and to avoid being scammed.

Appreciate your thought. It is very important to know well before making any kind of investment. If an investor cannot acquire proper knowledge then he will not be motivated to invest. Those who invest without knowledge will not find the right investment platform. Moreover, an investor must acquire sufficient knowledge to make good or bad choices. Scam projects on crypto platforms always try to pass themselves as legitimate. To know how to control yourself from all these scam projects so first of all give priority to gain knowledge.

Never be too greedy in gambling. I think if one is greedy in gambling, he will not be able to stay in gambling for long. I think we should choose gambling as fun. If one thinks that he can earn a certain amount of money by gambling every day.  He will never be able to fulfill it properly. He can lose all his money while fulfilling certain amount of money. So I think one should never get excited while gambling and take no wrong decision. There are some gamblers who gamble.
Greed will always be part of a gambler and that trait is still quite difficult to get rid of today. The fact that there are various gambling places is indeed very thick with greed and those who lose a lot of money usually will not be satisfied with the results they previously obtained. I think it is right to think that gambling is part of the fun and if they don't win at gambling they should be more willing and try it again at another opportunity. This may sound difficult but if you get used to it, it will become a good habit.
You're both right. Greed will only lead us to destruction, which will come sooner or later. We can only watch it without being able to do anything because everything will happen quickly. We only know that we don't have anything. Even the wins we have won before will also be lost. All of this can be prevented if we can feel satisfied with what we have got so that we can stop in time and enjoy the victory we have won. We can also return to gambling next time we feel we have had enough rest, and by doing that, we can enjoy gambling, and who knows, we might get lucky again the next time we gamble.
A gambler might not lose his winnings if he could carry out those things. Maybe he could have won more. But in reality, most gamblers find it difficult to be patient during that time. Because greed works in most gamblers. Those who can control their greed do not win much, but their losses are relatively small. While winning or losing in gambling depends on luck, controlled or responsible gambling must play a role in helping a gambler progress towards his or her set goals. People who want to win big from gambling by relying on a specific strategy must move away from that thought.

Sri Lanka vs West Indies
World Cup Qualifier Super Six Match Sri Lanka Vs West Indies. Sri Lanka and Netherlands have already qualified for the main stage of the World Cup. Sri Lanka are unbeaten so far in World Cup qualifiers. West Indies failed to qualify due to poor performance. Sri Lanka's bowling line and batting line are better than West Indies in today's match. Sri Lankan players have been performing well. West Indies are not performing well despite being a strong team. It is expected that both the teams will try to play well today. I think the chances of Sri Lanka winning today's match are very high.
The match between Sri Lanka and West Indies is only a regulation match as Netherlands and Sri Lanka have already qualified for the main stage of the World Cup. Before the start of this World Cup Qualifying tournament, everyone thought that maybe Sri Lanka and West Indies would make it to the main stage, but West Indies proved us all wrong. West Indies did not show their best performance due to which they did not qualify for the 2023 ODI World Cup. Not qualifying for the main stage of the World Cup is a huge failure for a team like West Indies. A team that has failed throughout the tournament but will definitely want to win the last match against Sri Lanka. Because West Indies have played four matches in Super Six where they have won only one match.
The Sri Lankan team has qualified as per the earlier predictions. According to that prediction West Indies and Zimbabwe teams were also likely to qualify but neither of them could qualify. The Zimbabwean team did well in most of the matches but they could not sustain it towards the end. Due to which they failed to qualify for the World Cup this year. On the other hand, the West Indies team once upon a time won the World Cup, but now there has been a big deterioration in their cricket. Due to the low quality of performance, now they cannot qualify for the World Cup.

England Women and Australia Women were the dominant teams in Women's Cricket. The matches played between the two will always have good fight back. First match was close and Australia won the match chasing a target of 153 runs with one ball left and four wickets in hand. Second match went closer and England made themselves scoring a good target and defend Australia within the same. However we were able to see the dominance of Australia Women team as the performance were exceptional whether it is to chase or to defend. In the final T20 match higher chance of win is with Australia Women team.

Both the matches of the series were very exciting. Australia won the first match with just 1 ball to spare. And in the second match, both teams played well. Australian women's team played very well despite batting with a huge target of 187 runs. They were defeated by just 3 runs. Ellyse Perry's performance impressed everyone. He was able to play a brilliant innings of 51 runs off just 27 balls. The third and final T20 match of the series is going to be played tomorrow. Hopefully, the last match will be very exciting.
Out of the 2 matches both team Australia and England win one match. In the second match, England managed to set a target of 186. Almost every player in their top order got runs especially Danielle Wyatt provide a good innings. Even though Australia managed to score according to their target, the team could not secure the victory as they lost to England Women's team by just 3 runs. Ellyse Perry remained unbeaten for Australia but could not bring the victory of the match.

Tamim Iqbal's retirement announcement

There is a rumor that Tamim Iqbal has confirmed to the Bangladeshi media that he will not play ODI cricket again and that the first ODI match against Afghanistan was the last match of his career. This matter is very surprising to me because before the retirement of a player, various news media broadcast news about his retirement, in this case he takes the decision to retire suddenly. It is not yet clear why he suddenly took such a decision. He was injured for a long time and lastly he won the series against Ireland so why Tamim Iqbal took such a decision before finishing the series against Afghanistan. Several action-oriented news media and journalists in Bangladesh have confirmed this fact of Tamim.
Tamim Iqbal is regarded was the best opener in the history of Bangladesh cricket. but, timely great decision from International Cricket? There's a lot of controversy, and I prefer don't like go details. However, it is undeniable that Tamim Iqbal is expected to play a crucial role for Bangladesh in both the Asia Cup and the World Cup. Due to lack of connectivity and healthy atmosphere between Captain Tamim Iqbal and head coach Hathurusingha may lead this decision. Lot of rumors are circulating about their relationship, which turn out unhealthy. Such an unhealthy situation may have influenced the decision-making process regarding Tamim's future. Tamim has chosen to retire with dignity and respect. Furthermore, if he believes that he has nothing more to offer to the team, then he certainly has the right to make this decision.
Tamim Iqbal has suddenly decided to retire without playing the upcoming Asia Cup and World Cup tournaments due to such problems with Hathurusingha. Tamim Iqbal should not have taken such a decision in anger at this moment. He could have been patient and ended the series against Afghanistan for the time being, but he took the decision after the first match. As you said Tamim Iqbal is the best opener of Bangladesh and so far Tamim Iqbal has the highest number of centuries for Bangladesh. The announcement of his retirement at this moment is undoubtedly a matter of great sadness for crores of Bangladeshi fans. His decision may have bad effect for Bangladesh in Asia Cup and World Cup.
The retirement of a senior player during a series certainly indicates something wrong. Perhaps Tamim Iqbal is taking such a decision because he is worried with someone else, the cricket world does not expect such an announcement from him during this time. So far i know he is a popular cricketer in Bangladesh team. There is a suspicion among almost everyone that maybe his time with Chandika Hathurusingha is not going well but that is completely unknown to the common people and the cricket world. His sudden retirement decision in the light of the upcoming Asia Cup and World Cup is definitely indicate a bad time for Bangladesh cricket.

Oman vs West Indies
~~snip~~
The West Indies defeated Oman in the seventh match of the ICC World Cup Qualifiers by seven wickets and with 62 balls remaining. Oman poor performance saw them set a low aim of 221 runs in 50 overs but this amount turned out to be insufficient. With noteworthy performances from B. King who struck a spectacular century of 100 runs off 104 balls and S. Hope who contributed a commendable 63 runs off 65 balls the West Indies demonstrated their superiority throughout the match. The West Indies dominating victory demonstrated their skill in both bowling and batting demonstrating their capacity to play at the highest level of cricket.
West Indies pulled off a great win when they not needed because they already failed to qualify to the world cup. Although there was confidence in this team at the beginning of this session, after a few match results it was easy to guess that this team will not be able to qualify for the World Cup. In today's match, this team was able to score 222 runs by losing only 3 wickets playing against the target of 221 set by Oman team. If they could have shown such a performance in some other matches like today, they could have easily qualified for the World Cup.
996  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does lottery rewards expire? on: July 05, 2023, 06:12:14 PM
Yes, you read that accurately.

If I buy several lottery tickets and then leave my account dormant for a long time, say at least 6 months, and my ticket wins the jackpot during that time.
Will anything happen to my prize money? Will the casino refund my money because I never claimed any of the rewards?

It's just a thought I've had for a while and decided to ask here in the community.


It depends on the casino or the company who owns the lottery's terms, the lottery is very popular here in our country and you only have one year to claim your prize one year after the draw, on online casinos you should ask the support or check the TOS, and I believe there is no refund of the ticket because in the first place you are at fault here for not claiming your ticket right away.
It's extreme laziness if you failed to check your ticket when you will only spend a few minutes to do so, it's your ticket to your dream so why fail to check it?

The time limit for such lotteries may vary in different casinos. But the lottery winner must have this awareness. Because every casino will consider it to expire after a certain period of time. As a result, if the lottery winner does not claim it within the stipulated time, there will be no chance to get it. It is held for several months after receiving the general lottery at the national level which may 180 days or 90 days. However, this may not be same with online lotteries. After purchasing the lottery, one should definitely keep that in mind also need to provide active mail for communication which is essential.

How do you handle a team like Bangladesh finishing their first innings with just 163 runs in 43 overs? Seven overs were shortened due to rain but I don't think just 163 in 43 overs is a good score against a team like Afghanistan. Many people are optimistic about the current team of Bangladesh in the upcoming World Cup. But if Bangladesh becomes such a failure in batting in such a preparatory match before the World Cup, then the trust that people have built in this team will be broken.
The batsmen of Bangladesh could not stand in front of the whirlwind of Rashid Khan and Mujibur Rahman. In a short time, Afghanistan will go into bat to chase the target of 164 runs given by Bangladesh. Afghanistan will win this match by a big margin.

Bangladesh have faced Afghanistan in an ODI match after almost a long time. But today, Bangladesh came after seeing a very bad performance on the first day. Bangladesh lost 4 wickets before completing 104 runs, this kind of game is not enough for an ODI match, but such a bad performance in their own home ground is never expected from Bangladesh. Especially Tawhid Hridoy collected 51 runs which is the highest run score by Bangladesh players. In a unique match, Nazmul Hasan Shanto and many others performed very well, but all of them had to leave the field in a short run while facing Afghanistan. Meanwhile, Afghanistan is showing a very good performance as the first opening batsman fell 1 wicket for 55 runs. If the bowling performance of Bangladesh can improve a little bit, Afghanistan will definitely be able to arrest the victory.

Afghanistan bowlers put up a great performance and restricted Bangladesh just only 169 runs. Hridoy was the only shining star for Bangladesh, as no batters were able to make any impact with their bats. Bad news is rain interrupted the match and DLS target for Afghanistan set at 164 runs. Before the rain performing, Afghan batters on fire with their bats. It looks like an easy win for Afghanistan. I feel disappointed with the Bangladeshi bowlers, as they failed to make any significant role in this match. Bangladesh's performance in the first ODI turn out extremely poor.
The score was not big and the same time rain shows danger signal for the Bangladesh team both of the sides doesn't favor Bangladesh team even though Bangladesh is more stronger team in ODI cricket than Afganistan. Lost the first match in the 3-match ODI series Afghanistan team won by 17 runs on DLS method. Bangladeshi batsmen could not show their ability to Afghanistan bowlers except Towhid Hridoy. Afghanistan's Fazalhaq Farooqi contributed the most in this match along with Rashid Khan who also fell some important wickets.

It's a heartbreak for Zimbabwe as they find themselves knocked out of the 2023 World Cup. Their dreams of making it to the main stage of the World Cup failed because of their two defeats. Zimbabwe played superb throughout the first half of the competition, leaving their fans hopeful and excited. However, in a must-win game, they failed, unable to get the victory over Scotland. It is such a disappointing turn of events for a team that had showcased such promise. Credit goes to Scotland for their impressive bowling display which that made all the difference.

It was a tragic result for Zimbabwe. This team has played very well in every match except the last two matches. But after Scotland set a target of 234 runs in today's match, I thought Zimbabwe would have no problem winning this match. Scotland's bowlers bowled brilliantly. As a result, the Zimbabwean players were behind from the beginning of the innings. Zimbabwe lost 4 wickets for just 37 runs. Zimbabwe lost because the top order did not play well.
It was unknown to most of the spectators that the team would lose in such a manner in pursuit of an easy goal. Losing the match did not qualify them for the World Cup. They could not participate in the last World Cup and this time they had to lose. It's really sad for Craig Ervine. I considered Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe as favorites here but Sri Lanka confirmed their place but Zimbabwe were eliminated. Ryan Burl will remember this match more who was going to take the match towards the end but it didn't take long for the team to lost of wickets after his long batting halted the journey.

My friend's story sends me a signal: no matter how much I earn right now, try to keep my job and souce of income stable. I am also a family man and have responsibilities. Anything bad can also happen to me so I have to be prepared to the unforseen problems, although I am doing fine now. Make hay while the sun shines. If you have any advice for my friend, please let me know. Thank you.
If we don't do something at the right time then our situation may be different at some point. People's needs are increasing day by day. Moreover, it is not unusual to accept any undesirable situation. It is not unusual for those who have fixed salary jobs to run into major financial problems if their income is not regular. All of us should first of all keep our income stable through our job or any profession. If the income can be kept stable then any small matter can be solved easily. Of course every person should be given more importance about their income.

People like to talk about themselves and how they struggle. Kind of normal I think they share how they suffer and survive, its how they voice out their feelings and the willing listeners and more willing to listen if they also encounter the same like the support groups. If they find ears here, it's still gonna help the person's feelings.

You can't stop anyone from badmouthing though. Even the saints will have people talking behind them. Even your siblings do that to you. You just have to get used to it. Not find it offensive anymore.


My classmates referred to me as an addicted gambler during my early gambling days, which infuriated me, but as time passed, I just let it go and discovered more meaningful things to do with my life other than settling and spending my precious time arguing about some unimportant concerns. Finding things offensive doesn't really matter; it's simply frivolous talk; at this point in my life, all I worry about is preparing and eventually attaining the objectives I have set. People will always talk, and the more we try to enforce or prohibit the badmouthing, the more it will persist; this is typical, therefore I consider it a minor concern.
There are some people who try to offend others. If someone gets angry at that moment, those people will annoy him more. But those who can understand this matter deeply never show anger. They simply want to avoid the issue. There are also some gamblers who cannot easily identify themselves as addicted gamblers. When such accusations are brought against him, he will take the matter negatively. Above all it is better to take these things easily.
