Sunrisers Hyderabad team is going to face Mumbai Indians in today's only match. It is very difficult for me to make predictions about this match. Because even though these two teams failed to win in the first match, still these two teams performed great in the first match.

Sunrisers Hyderabad faced the Kolkata team in the first match. The performance of Hyderabad's bowlers was poor. So Kolkata set a huge target of 209 runs. However, due to heinrich Klaseen's excellent batting, Hyderabad team lost the match by just 4 runs. Hyderabad's bowlers will definitely need to do well if they want to win against Mumbai.

Mumbai Indians lost their previous match against Gujarat due to poor batting. Gujarat were given a target of just 169 runs. But Mumbai batsmen batting was very slow. This is why the team was defeated. However, both teams need to win today's match. And both have strong squads. I personally consider Sunrisers Hyderabad as favourites. Let's see if Hyderabad manage to win today.

I agree with you. We can never consider gambling as a job. If we consider gambling and job or business to be the same, then I am a fool. Gambling should never be considered equal to job or business.

if someone thinks that gambling is their job or business, then they are a careless person, because after all gambling cannot be used as a job or business that can make money. gambling has the possibility, that if someone wants to dive into it and earn, then they need to follow a game that is based on strategy, and only a handful of gamblers can be successful from it. so instead of risking your money on gambling, instead look for something more certain where you can earn money.

You are right, Gambling should never be considered as a means of earning money. In gambling you can lose money and win a lot of money. I have seen many people who have lost all their money by gambling. Many rich people have lost everything. Again I have seen many people who have made money by gambling and won huge amounts of money.

I would say first to get control over yourself and then gamble. It is impossible to make money from gambling if you do not have control over yourself. And indeed one cannot be greedy. If you are greedy your chances of losing money will increase.
We must be careful. And gambling cannot be considered only as a means of earning money.

This is Bangladesh women team scoreboard. Before the start of the series, I was sure that the Bangladesh team will not be able to win even a single match of the series. The series will be completely one-sided. And in every match we see bad performance of Bangladeshi players. Especially Bangladesh Women's batsmen batting is very weak. And this is what we have seen over the last few years. We do not see any improvement in this team.

Captain Nigar Sultana scored the maximum 16 runs for the team. The last two batsmen of the squad Sultana and Marufa collected 10 and 15 runs respectively. Also the bowling of the Australian bowlers was not controlled. They gave 20 extra runs. The top order and middle order were a complete failure. It is difficult for the team to accept such a humiliating defeat even in a home match.

Anyone can be addicted on any game that he loves playing a lot, not only slot machine. We have a lot of gamblers not there that don't like slot games, but they are still addicted. The reason is because they think that gambling is to make profit or a get rich quick scheme. This will make them use big amount of money to gamble without thinking twice. They will forget that the chances of losing is higher than making profit.  Bringing addiction problem to themselves, because they will always be chasing their losses till they become frustrated, and they will live to regret their actions. This is why one should be a gambler that gambles only for fun.
This kind of thinking is actually difficult to eliminate because we find it difficult to stop the gambling activities that we do considering our thinking is too naive in interpreting gambling .

We should be aware that gambling is not a job but we are always determined to treat gambling like a job and make this a livelihood on the pretext that gambling is one of the tools to get quick profits but in the end this is precisely what traps us which makes us focus on that thought which results in us always thinking that gambling is the only way to get rice.This should be avoided but there are still many people who are sometimes naive and always make the same mistakes that make us addicted and unable to manage the money in the gambling that we do .

I agree with you. We can never consider gambling as a job. If we consider gambling and job or business to be the same, then I am a fool. Gambling should never be considered equal to job or business.

Gambling should be considered as a game. We can either lose money or make money on it. None of us can guarantee that we will always make money gambling. If we don't work, or I have no other means of earning money, how will I cover my daily household expenses when we lose money gambling? So we must have a source of income. Otherwise we have to be under mental pressure if we lose money in gambling.
So we all should be aware. If we treat gambling like a job, it won't take long for us to be broke.

it seems to me that all "secrets" have already been revealed. At the beginning of the journey in gambling, you have to realize that gambling is more about joy and entertainment, and when you lose, you agree that it's just a game, fun, a little adrenaline, a good time with friends. And winning is a pleasant possible bonus, but not mandatory. Enjoy playing.
Even people that claim they gamble for fun if they should remove the potential win there will you still gamble I bet you that a lot of people will quite gambling and they are the same people claiming its its for fun. Its all lie we want the money and if it is not because of the money I don't see the reason why we are going to gamble. So it's a clear truth. And if lose you decide whether you lose or not. But am sure those who lose or win will want to continue. Just accept it we gamble because we want more money to our self. Or if you don't belive let's write to casinos to stop potential win and let's see the numbers of people that will remain. And i love gambling not because of anything but because of the money. Let's be true to our self.

The thought that people gamble mostly for fun is false. But I think sometimes it's true.

People usually gamble to win money. And invest a lot of money in it. Sometimes they gain, sometimes they lose money. But I have some friends who don't gamble regularly. Many times when friends hang out they play various card games. And sometimes gamble with it. And they do it for fun. They do not bet very large amounts of money.

But if someone gambles in a casino or gambles on various betting sites, and says it's just for fun, then I'd say he's completely lying. Because everyone's main goal when betting in a casino or betting site is to make money. No one wants to lose their money on a prank.

Arsenal have a bad record when it comes to dealing with Bayern Munich so far, as you said, although this season is different because Arsenal have performed better than Bayern Munich in the league, but still the mentality possessed by Bayern Munich in the Champions League has not changed until now, in the round of 16 match then we can make a benchmark how the mentality possessed by Bayern Munich continues to strengthen as they continue Underestimated, so far Bayern Munich and Arsenal have met as many as 12 meetings, Bayern Munich appeared mighty by winning 7 times, 2 draws and 3 losses against Arsenal.
That's why I think this season it's no different from the previous season and it will be difficult for Arsenal to beat Bayern Munich even though Munich are missing some main players, because Bayern Munich has a good reserve squad, but I think it's different with Arsenal, because if you look so far, Arsenal reserve players don't have a strong mentality and are as good as their main players and that's why Arteta often fielded their players main thing in the league even when facing small teams.
I do agree that Bayern is a team that played at this level quite frequently and they look a lot better, I believe that could be the most important part. I get that it may not feel like a great situation at times, but I feel like it will happen one way or another. In the end, we will see how it goes and how we can react to it, we just need to give it some time.

I agree with you. Bayern Munich is a very experienced team for the Champions League platform. They have an experienced squad and all the players in the squad are very talented. And experience is very important in these important matches. This is why many consider Bayern Munich as the favorite in this match. However, Bayern Munich's performance is somewhat erratic.

Maybe it's not that easy to figure out how to make Arsenal be around here all the time, but for the time being Bayern seems like a better chance. I will definitely bet on Bayern to win, but would I be shocked if I see Arsenal somehow get the win? I would not, I think that's also possible, not the highest chance, I still think Bayern will win, but it is not like a huge huge gap.

I don't see any chance of underestimating Arsenal team even though they are less experienced. Arsenal are in great form in the Premier League. Arsenal players are performing well in the Champions League. The important thing is that the bonding between the Arsenal players is strong and the players are very confident. This is why Bayern Munich is going to be a big challenge to beat Arsenal. And I would say both teams have equal chances to win this match.

The 7th match of Indian Premier League has started between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings. Gujarat Titans won the toss and elected to bowl. Chennai Super Kings lost the toss and went into bat to collect 206 runs after losing 6 wickets in the scheduled 20 overs. All batsmen of Chennai Super Kings have performed very well. Shivam Dube, Rachin Ravindra, Ruturaj Gaikwad all batted very well. 207 runs is a big target in T20 format. Chennai Super Kings bowlers can win if they do well. I think Chennai Super Kings will win today. Let's see which team can win in the end.
At this time, I thought that for sure Chennai Super Kings would win this match easily because as they gave a huge target which is such a high amount of runs for a T20 match that is 206 runs and this target would help them to win.

Today’s crowd at the match is not a lot and also in videos or pictures we cannot understand the difference between seats and the crowd because Chennai stadium seats are yellow and the crowd also wears yellow shirts and the jersey of Chennai Super Kings is yellow that’s why it’s become too much challenging to understand but the crowd was not too much maybe because of the working day today.

The target of 207 runs is big enough. Even then, a target of 207 runs was not impossible to win on this pitch. Because Gujarat's batting order is strong. They have several experienced batsmen. And almost every batsman in the squad is capable of hard hitting.

However, Chennai's bowlers are bowling controlled from the beginning of the innings. Chennai's captain on paper is Raturaj Gaikwad, but looking at Chennai's overall performance, I think Chennai's captain is still Dhoni. The Chennai captain is using the right bowler at the right time. And that's why Gujarat's batsmen are under pressure.

In 15 overs, Gujarat collected only 114 runs, losing 5 wickets. Gujarat must collect 93 runs in 30 balls. This is not possible for Gujarat now. Chennai team is going to get an easy win today.

Cometh the hour, Cometh the man! The experience of Dinesh Kartick was invaluable for RCB while the situation looked dire. A quick 28 of 10 while the impact sub also playing his part in scoring quick 17 of 8. RCB get on the board of points table on their 2nd attempt. Teams are looking fairly even and well matched in the IPL this season. I guess that's what happens when we have the luxury to splurge cash into buying good players for the franchise.
Yes you are right having experienced players like Dinesh Kartick can make huge difference in crucial moments of match. His quick innings definitely helped RCB get their first win of season. However I do not think that splurging cash on players is only factor that determines competitiveness of teams in IPL. It also comes down to team strategy coaching and player chemistry. It will be interesting to see how rest of season unfolds and if other teams can also step up and perform well.

To be honest, I was very annoyed by Royal Challengers Bangalore's batting in this match. Bengaluru team won this match only because of the batting of Kohli, Dinesh Karthik and Mahipal Lomror.


Source: Espncricinfo

The target of the match was not big. But the performance of Punjab's bowlers and fielders was really good in this match. On the other hand, the performance of Bengaluru's batsmen was poor. Du Plessis 3 runs off 7 balls. Cameroon Green and Maxwell both collected 3 runs off 5 balls. Although Rajat collected 18 runs, he batted at only 100 strike rate.
Virat Kohli played an excellent innings of 77 runs off 49 balls. And in the last minute, Dinesh Karthik's 28 runs off just 10 balls and Mahipal Lomror's 8 for 17 runs helped Bengaluru to win the match. Didn't think Bengaluru would play this badly with such a strong batting order.

DEAL DONE: Koke has extended his contract at Atletico Madrid until 2025. 💪

This guy has been so loyal to Atletico Madrid which is really hard to see nowadays.
At current times every player goes to another club if he finds a good deal.
You know, he has been with Atletico Madrid since he was a little kid. He played in the Atletico Madrid B team when he was in his youth. And after he got promoted to the Atletico Madrid squad, he never looked back. And he stayed at Atletico Madrid no matter what the situation was. I think he is going to retire as a “one-club player"

Punjab Kings vs Royal Challengers Bangalore

The sixth match of the 2024 Indian Premier League is underway.In this match, Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore have entered the field to face each other. In today's match, Royal Challengers Bangalore won the toss first and elected to field first, allowing Punjab Kings to bat first. I would not say that Punjab Kings batsmen batted very well today they batted fairly well today.When Punjab Kings' opening batsman Jonny Bairstow got out for 17, Punjab Kings were under a bit of pressure. Punjab Kings skipper Shikhar Dhawan has scored the team's individual highest run for Punjab Kings today, he was dismissed for 45 runs off 37 balls. In today's match Punjab Kings team total is 176 runs maybe it is nothing for Royal Challengers Bangalore team as their batting line up is very strong.



The Punjab Kings team managed to provide the target of 177 runs today. Is it enough to win against a team like Bengaluru? I thought Punjab would provide a bigger target today. Because Bengaluru's batting order is very strong. A high score is absolutely necessary to win against this team.

Sikhar Dhawan scored the maximum 45 runs for Punjab. However, Sikhar Dhawan's strike rate was only 121. Besides, every batsman can bat a bit better, but no batsman can score big.
Mohammad Siraj and Yash Dayal bowled very well today. Siraj picked up two wickets with 26 runs in 4 overs. And Yash Dayal picked up a wicket with 23 runs in 4 overs.

Royal Challengers Bangalore squad includes T20 specialist batsmen like Kohli, Du Plessis, Rajat Patidar, Maxwell, Cameron Green and Dinesh Karthik. I don't think scoring 177 is a tough task for Bengaluru.

some news in this boring break for the national teams.

Mbappe will not announce anything regarding his future as long as there is a possibility that Real Madrid and PSG could meet during the cup.
Juventus is interested in Mason Greenwood, who is currently on loan. the price should be low as the player only has one year left on his contract with Manchester.
Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid, let's wait till the deal is been finally triggered. There are shocking news in football, we just have keep listening ears on ground because what's coming would seem surprising to our eyes and most of us will find it hard to believe. For me, I'm already open up and will accept the legit news which will be flowing in anytime soon. Besides I can't be easily deceived or following rumors, just patiently wait for the top football journalist, Fabrizio Romano to make posts on his page, that's probably where I get my information and stay updated with football trends.

I personally don't believe any rumors about Mbappe. I won't believe that Mbappe will join Real Madrid until I get the official news. Because in the last few seasons we talked a lot about Mbappe and Madrid. Finally we haven't seen Mbappe in a Madrid jersey. So I will definitely wait to see the news for sure. But we are seeing a lot of news this season regarding Mbappe's transfer. Florentino Perez is likely to be keen on Mbappe this season.



Real Madrid told they ‘don’t need Kylian Mbappe’ as move for PSG forward slammed for being ‘just for the ego of Florentino Perez

Quote
American actor Viggo Mortensen has claimed Real Madrid "don't need Kylian Mbappe", with the transfer only serving president Florentino Perez's "ego."

I don't agree with that. Madrid definitely need a talented player like Mbappe. There is no regular scorer in Madrid's squad. Real Madrid have to rely on midfielder Bellingham to score. Mbappe has the ability to score a lot. And Mbappe's addition to the squad would certainly be beneficial for Real Madrid.

I feel making Hardik as a captain has created rift within the MI and when there is lack of unity there is potential for downfall. It would have been a different thing had it was Rohit who himself decided that Hardik should be a captain and asked fans to support him.
MI should have done in the manner that CSK followed, but still they backstabbed Rohit and without informing him, they removed him from the captaincy position. Not only Rohit, but many players were unhappy from this. Pandya also treated very rudely to Rohit by making him field at multiple positions. Pandya was bought because he was a great finisher, but still he wasn’t able to finish the match. Hence, it’s a well deserved loss for Hardik.

Mumbai Indians' defeat was completely unexpected. And I would say Mumbai lost this match because of their overconfidence. The batsmen were very confident. So the team failed to win even by batting at such a small target.

The match went out of Mumbai's hands at 13-17 overs due to Mumbai's poor batting. In these 5 overs, Mumbai collected only 26 runs with the loss of two wickets. The target was low, so naturally the Mumbai batsmen batted cautiously. But the lower order batsmen could not perform their duties properly.



I will blame Hardik Pandya for the defeat. Pandya is an experienced batsman. He certainly managed to adapt to the match situation very well. Even then he could not bat responsibly. Pandya returned to the dressing room after collecting 11 runs off 4 balls.

It seems that Carlo Ancelotti has prepared for this. Therefore Carlo Ancelotti did not recruit in the winter market last before and chose to recruit at the end of this season when the summer market opened, even though if Real Madrid recruited players in the transfer market in January before. Real Madrid could face match the Champions League has calmed down a bit because its strength has increased, so Real Madrid's performance can be more optimal, but I think Carlo Ancelotti doesn't recruit players because he believes in the players he has and remains strong even though he doesn't add to the squad he needs.

It would be a good thing if Real Madrid started thinking about the players they would buy to improve their performance next season, recruiting Alexander Arnold is a good choice, he is a defender with extraordinary talent, he can create assists to help attackers create goals if he is at the club Big like Real Madrid is a big advantage for him because he might taste the Champions League trophy with Real Madrid.

Liverpool is actually also a big club but after Jurgen Kloop left this season we don't know Liverpool's performance next season so Alexander Arnold's future is still a question mark, but at least he can try to join another big club in the European league so that his development increases and doesn't continue to be there in the comfort zone.
It's a player's decision if he wants to stay in a club or leave, also it depends on his contract signed with the team as well as the teams decision to either keep him or let him go. In PSG, Mbappe is one key man that they don't want to give off yet. Even though his contract is set to expire by summer, they still know he's advantageous and would want to keep him. For Mbappe, his stay in the team beyond and after the expiration of the contract seems to be dependent on his intentions as well as the teams performance in the long run.

 Good thing for him that Madrid may not really be interested in him yet until summer so he's got to be a bit patient till then, then maybe, he'd be willing to join the Spanish side. Even though Liverpool were questing for him as well, i didn't think they were set to afford that amount for him during the January transfer window. Let's just anticipate summer break whilst watching his movement decision unfold. Real Madrid has even been performing at their best without a stable striker in the team, then we think of how much more they'd perform if they eventually get a striker for themselves. Left for me, they're doing just fine without a striker. They've in the team a lot of youngsters that are doing excellent in their general balling ability.

 But still they just have to have for themselves a striker that'd be majored on that role of goal scoring and they won't have to be using a false forward in their games. Well before now, Mbappe was a prospect but Ancelloti has said for now he won't be making any change to his squad and he's comfortable with them. I believe they have what it takes to get the species of forward they want in the team and the team's commitment and bond would really boost their results. The same applies to Alphonso Davies. The both young players would be a good addition to the Spanish giants but we just have to wait on the coach. Since he's said summer will be his time for transfers, then let's anticipate these moves and watch how well and better it improves the team's effectiveness.

The pressure on the players due to the tight schedule is increasing. Players are getting injured more frequently and as a result some players even have to play out of position.
For example, Camavinga had to play at left back for a few matches, and then Tchouameni also had to play Centre Back for a while. So adding players in their left back and right back is a must right now for Real Madrid. Their team is doing good without that but I think Real Madrid will be more consistent with the addition of Alphonso Davies and Trent Alexander Arnold.

Toni Kroos and Luka Modric are also getting old and I doubt whether they will even renew their contract. So they should start thinking about their future which they already did. Trent Alexander Arnold and Alphonso Davies are still quite young which makes them good choices for Real Madrid. Addition of Mbappe also will be very good for the team.

Joshua Kimminch is also confirmed to be leaving his team Bayern Munich after the end of this season. If he joins Real Madrid it will be very good for them. He can cover both Right back position and Centre Defensive Midfielder position if the team needs. Dynamic players like these are very appreciated these days.

Rajasthan Royals  vs  Lucknow Super Giants

The match between Lucknow Super Giants vs Rajasthan Royals is going to be held shortly. The match will be held at Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Only one T20 match has been played at this ground before, so it is difficult to predict how the pitch will behave in today's match. But looking at the pitch, I think the batsmen will have a lot of advantage in this match.

Rajasthan Royals won the toss and elected to bat. Both teams have very strong squads. Especially the batting order of both teams is strong. So chances of seeing high scores in today's match are high. However, I consider Lucknow as favorites in today's match. Looks like Kl Rahul's team will win today.



Rajasthan managed to collect 54 runs in 6 overs of power play. It is quite a good collection no doubt. But they lost two crucial wickets of Jaiswal and Buttler. Jaiswal returned to the dressing room with 24 runs off 12 balls and Buttler 11 off 9 balls. Captain Samson and Riyan parag are now at the crease.

I would say the batting order of both the teams is quite strong. But the bowling lineup of both the teams is somewhat weak. Because of this I think the bowlers of the team who can bowl under control will win. The pitch is helping the batsmen. It is not a bowling friendly pitch. So it is possible to score high on this pitch. If Rajasthan set a target of less than 180 then Lucknow will win this match very easily.

Those top order batters are already in the dugout and we shouldn't forget in the first inning Sri Lankan went from 258/5 to 280/all out.

Still, there is a chance that they could reach the 300 mark but it mostly depends on Skipper Dhanajaya and Kamidu because so far, only these 2 scored a ton in this match. No complaints on the pitch from my side.
102 from Dhananjaya de Silva and 102 from Kamindu Mendis has kept Sri Lanka ahead of Bangladesh in this match. Apart from these two batsmen there is complete batting failure from both sides. The 202 runs partnership and 92 runs lead in first innings has turned the table towards Sri Lanka and it's very much likely that Sri Lanka might won this test.
Sylhet pitch was much better when NZ played here the last test and now it's behaving like Mirpur Mine Field.
De Silva and Mendis' partnership of 202 runs in the first innings allowed the Sri Lankan team to collect 280 runs. Apart from Dhananjata De Silva and Mendis, none of the batsmen in the squad performed well. On the other hand, we have seen the usual poor performance from the Bangladeshi batsmen. At the end of the first innings, the Bangladesh team was trailing by 92 runs. It's by a huge margin on this pitch.

I would say the outcome of the match will depend on today's first session performance. If Sri Lanka can collect up to 200 runs, and give a target of 280-290 runs, then I would say there is no chance for Bangladesh to win. Bangladesh squad now lacks a batsman who can bat responsibly and play big innings.

I won't be surprised if Sri Lanka lose all wickets between 160-170 if the Bangladeshi bowlers do well in the first session. It is difficult to stay at the crease in the first session on this pitch.
Bangladesh team has not won even one of the last 10 Test matches against Sri Lanka. And I will say that the Bangladesh team is definitely going to be defeated in this match as well. And it is impossible to do well in the Test format with a weak and erratic batting order.

Earlier in the day Sri Lanka lost the wicket of Fernando. But like the first innings, the duo of De Silva and Mendis are batting brilliantly in the second innings as well. This pair has already collected 70 runs. Sri Lanka collected 196 runs after losing 6 wickets. Dhananjaya De Silva remained unbeaten on 63 runs and Mendis on 35 runs. Sri Lanka team has managed to take a lead of 288 runs. I do not see the possibility of Bangladesh winning this match.



There is no possibility that Bangladesh will win this test match. And I would say Bangladesh will lose this match by a big margin.
Dhananjaya De Silva scored a century in the second innings as well as in the first innings. De Silva and Mendis have been batting brilliantly today. Sri Lanka collected 293 runs. De Silva remains unbeaten on 107 off 172 balls and Mendis remains unbeaten on 80. The Sri Lankan team is leading by a big margin of 385.

Bangladesh's batting order is weak. Experienced batsmen like Shakib, Mushfiqur and Mahmudullah are not with the squad. And almost every batsman's performance is erratic. It is not possible for Bangladesh to win by batting at 400+ targets in such a situation.

The scudetto important to proof best achievement for some manager and to secure their position for the next season, Inter Milan one step closer become the champion of Serie A this season after gap 14 points from Milan and take winning few matches later automatically will be the winner. Had bad trend with Inter Milan after eliminating by Atletico Madrid in champion league then hold draw by Napoli in domestic league match and success stopping the winning trend of Inter Milan more than 10 matches in a row.
But its not problem if can recovery to winning trend upcoming match against Empoli, Simeone Inzaghi want to make as soon possible Serie A over and Inter Milan winning Scudetto with many points left from AC Milan or Juventus has chance to finish on 2nd place.
The draw against Napoli is quite natural, especially since Inter Milan is in a slightly slumped mentality after being eliminated from UCL, but I think no one doubts Inter Milan to win the Scudetto this season, they are already very far ahead in points from their rivals and also in terms of the quality of the Inter Milan team. This season is very strong so it is not difficult for them to recover, losing a few more matches in the continuation of Serie A matches this season I think will not have a significant impact on them because it is very likely that Inter Milan will ensure the Scudetto this season.

First, Inter Milan lost confidence. The Inter Milan team has been unexpectedly eliminated from the Champions League competition. Inter Milan was one of the favorites for the Champions League title. But Inter Milan could not win against Atletico Madrid.

The match against Napoli was not important for Inter Milan. Inter Milan will have no problem winning the Serie A title. AC Milan are 14 points ahead of second-placed AC Milan in the table. So even if they perform poorly in a few matches now, Inter Milan will remain at the top of the table.


Source: Google

Inter Milan's performance against Napoli was not weak. However, the Inter Milan team could not win the match. They were able to make some good attacks. However, the performance of Napoli's defenders was good in this match. This is why Inter Milan can't score more than one goal. A total of 19 shots were made by Inter Milan players. And 6 of those shots were on target.

After a poor performance in the first two matches, the New Zealand team managed to defeat the England women's team in the third match. The New Zealand women's team lost the first three matches due to their poor batting. And in today's match, New Zealand batsmen performed well enough, that's why New Zealand women team won. New Zealand women's team won today's match by just 3 runs.

New Zealand collected 155 runs losing only 3 wickets. Amelia Kerr was unbeaten on 44 off 35 balls. Sophie Devine scored 60 runs off 37 balls. Bernadine's innings of 34 off 27 balls was also necessary.

On the other hand, no other batsman can play well except Maia Bouchier and Beaumount of England squad. Bouchier collected 71 runs and Beaumount collected 37 runs.

In the last 2 overs, England needed only 11 runs to win. But it was not collected by England women's batsmen. England collected only 7 runs in the last two overs.

Those top order batters are already in the dugout and we shouldn't forget in the first inning Sri Lankan went from 258/5 to 280/all out.

Still, there is a chance that they could reach the 300 mark but it mostly depends on Skipper Dhanajaya and Kamidu because so far, only these 2 scored a ton in this match. No complaints on the pitch from my side.
102 from Dhananjaya de Silva and 102 from Kamindu Mendis has kept Sri Lanka ahead of Bangladesh in this match. Apart from these two batsmen there is complete batting failure from both sides. The 202 runs partnership and 92 runs lead in first innings has turned the table towards Sri Lanka and it's very much likely that Sri Lanka might won this test.
Sylhet pitch was much better when NZ played here the last test and now it's behaving like Mirpur Mine Field.

De Silva and Mendis' partnership of 202 runs in the first innings allowed the Sri Lankan team to collect 280 runs. Apart from Dhananjata De Silva and Mendis, none of the batsmen in the squad performed well. On the other hand, we have seen the usual poor performance from the Bangladeshi batsmen. At the end of the first innings, the Bangladesh team was trailing by 92 runs. It's by a huge margin on this pitch.

I would say the outcome of the match will depend on today's first session performance. If Sri Lanka can collect up to 200 runs, and give a target of 280-290 runs, then I would say there is no chance for Bangladesh to win. Bangladesh squad now lacks a batsman who can bat responsibly and play big innings.

I won't be surprised if Sri Lanka lose all wickets between 160-170 if the Bangladeshi bowlers do well in the first session. It is difficult to stay at the crease in the first session on this pitch.

In last five matches, Barcelona have best performances amongst clubs in top four of La Liga. This good form recently helps Barcelona to jump to the second position and take it over from Girona.

In the last few matches we have seen good performances from Barcelona players. Especially I would say the young players of Barcelona were able to perform very well. And that's why we've seen good performances from Barcelona in both La Liga and the Champions League. But despite regaining second place in the table, Barcelona have no chance of going to the top of the table.


Personally I don't think it's possible for Girona to finish second in the table. And if Girona can't improve their performance, it's challenging for the team to qualify for the Champions League.
In the last few matches we have seen the performance of Girona very erratic and unstable. This team failed to play consistently well. The team's performance in both defense and attack has been erratic. And that's why I think Girona's performance is very unlikely to stabilize again this season.
I agree with you. Girona surprisingly managed to maintain their good form even after the first half of season but last month, their performances dropped a lot. Hence they dropped many points and it together with good form from Barcelona, costs them a second position. With Girona, it's not strange if they will fail to reclaim their best performances in last matches of La Liga. They will nearly not able to get a second position back and a more realistic target and task of Girona, is secure their third and even fourth position when La Liga ends.

Since the defeat against Real Madrid, we have seen the erratic performance of Girona players. Perhaps after the defeat against Madrid, Girona's chances of winning the title were over, and because of this, Girona's players lost confidence. Other than that I can't find any other reason. In case of any changes in Girona's squad, the match strategy remains the same. However, Girona's overall performance is poor. If the players are confident, maybe we will see a good performance from Girona again.

Kolkata team collected 200+ runs for the first time in this year's IPL with Andre Russel's stormy innings. It seems incredible to me that Calcutta has such a large collection today. Because at the end of 15 overs, Kolkata's collection was only 123 runs with the loss of 6 wickets. I thought Kolkata would give a target of 160-170 maybe today.

Apart from Phil Salt, the four batsmen in Kolkata's top order batted very badly. Salt collected 54 runs from 40 balls. Rashdeep Singh played an excellent innings of 35 off 17 balls. And Russell's innings was impressive. Russel was unbeaten by collecting 65 runs from just 25 balls. Russel hit 7 over boundaries. In the end, the Kolkata team managed to provide a target of 209 runs.
