Bangladesh team should have given 300+ target today. The main weakness of the Bangladesh team was that 2/1 players in the squad performed well, the rest of the players performed below average. In today's match, if one more top order batsman could have batted well with Soumyo Sarker, or if Miraz had been able to bat well, then Bangladesh team could have given 320+ target very easily. The performance of every Bangladeshi player is very erratic. This is why Bangladesh's overall performance is poor despite having a lot of talented players in the squad.

While I agree with you that in 50 over format, anything above 300 runs is a good target. That does not mean that 291 runs were not defendable by the Bangladesh team. The lack of experienced and effective bowlers has been an issue with the side, and it will continue to haunt them. New Zealand were always a good batting side, and they proved today once again that they can chase runs. Two more games left in this series and I am not expecting much from the Bangladesh side.

Bangladesh needed to have an experienced pace bowler in the squad on such a pitch. Shariful or Hasan are talented but not experienced enough. If Taskin was in the squad, maybe we would have seen the bowling of Bangladesh a little better. The target was not big. And so New Zealand's batsmen batted in a pressure free manner. A win with a target of 291 runs is certainly possible if the team's bowling attack is strong. Bangladesh's bowling attack is not strong. So it is much more difficult to win on a pitch that offers a target of less than 300.

The problems that occurred between Mbappe and PSG at the start of the season have been resolved after the player agreed to extend his contract as proposed by PSG. Mbappe is a big player, he has to do something to boost his career. Staying with PSG is not a good decision for him, because he can still get trophies with other clubs that he has never been able to get while playing for PSG.
Every time the transfer market opens, rumors of Mbappe leaving PSG always become the main topic. He must take a stand for a better future, stay with PSG or move to another club.

I don't know what Mbappe wants by extending his contract at PSG. Is that a strategy from Mbappe so that if another club wants to sign him then they have to spend large amounts of money and make a tempting offer? Because I think what does Mbappe need from PSG? He's got everything there. Has PSG offered Mbappe a large salary so that he chooses to stay at PSG?

There is no way to say for sure if Mbappe will leave PSG. Because for the last few seasons there have been strong rumors that Mbappe will leave the team. But Mbappe has renewed his contract with PSG every time at the last minute. It would not be surprising if something similar happens this season.
However, PSG's overall condition is not good. Winning the Champions League title is much more difficult for this team. Mbappe will definitely want to win the Champions League title. This is why Real Madrid, Liverpool or Arsenal could be better choices for Mbappe. And these clubs will be able to pay Mbappe high wages.

I believe he will be more successful in the Premier League, but Real Madrid is his dream team. That's why I think the Real Madrid option is one step ahead. Real Madrid will want to have him in the team. Although there probably isn't a team in the world that wouldn't want to have him on their team. Mbappe is one of the top 3 names among currently active football players. I don't know if PSG will be able to surprise, but I expect him to leave PSG at the end of the year.

Any team in La Liga and Premier League would want to have a player as talented as Mbappe in their squad. Because he can score a lot of goals. But why Mbappe is still not leaving PSG is a mystery. PSG paid Mbappe huge wages, but Premier League teams are also capable of paying higher wages. However, Premier League and La Liga are very competitive compared to Ligue 1. Ligue 1 teams are relatively weak. And it's easy for Mbappe to score as well. So Mbappe doesn't want to risk going to a competitive league? Because in competitive leagues the risk of injury is high and performance is likely to deteriorate.

Soumya Sarkar may gift a victory to Bangladesh today. But the interesting thing is that he hardly got any support from the other batsmen. Apart from his 169, the next top score was 45 from the no.6 batsman Mushfiqur Rahim. And it's not like the New Zealand bowlers were wayward. They bowled with tight line and length, especially Adam Milne, Jacob Duffy and William O’Rourke. Adithya Ashok, on his ODI debut did a decent job as well. Still, a Bangladesh win is not confirmed yet. The pitch looks good for batting.

Despite Soumyo Sarker's massive collection of 169, Bangladesh failed to give away the 300+ target. I do not see any improvement in Bangladesh's batting order. Soumyo played well today. But Bangladesh's top order is weak as usual. Anamul Haque 2, Shanto and Liton returned to the dressing room with 6 runs each. If these 3 experienced top order batsmen could bat well, Bangladesh could have given a target of more than 350 in today's match. I don't think 291 is enough to beat New Zealand.

Bangladesh teams top orders are always failing to collect good start, it’s their common weakness for the long time. Yeah, only 2 batsman taken good runs Soumyo Sarkar 169 (151) & Musfiqur Rahim 45 (57), it was surprised to BAN team Soumyo got century after 5 years it’s a brilliant come back. Without top orders batsmans runs they will never reach 300 runs, so it’s not a fighting scored to New Zealand, they will win because they have strong batting line up.

The fourth match of the T20 series is West Indies vs England. In today's fourth match, England lost the toss and batted first, losing 3 wickets and collecting 267 runs, ending the first innings. England batsmen played very well in today's match. England team's opening batsman Philip Salt's amazing century. Philip Salt's 119 off 57 balls is a huge improvement for the England team. The batting of England team batsmen in today's match is really commendable. Now if the bowlers can show some good performance in the second innings. Then England will win this match against West Indies. Now we are waiting to see how aggressive the England bowlers can bowl in the second innings

After losing the first two matches, the England team made a wonderful comeback. They won the third match by batting at a huge target of 223 runs. And England set a huge target of 268 in the fourth match. Batting at a target of 268 to win is an almost impossible task for any team. However, West Indies' run rate was very good. The match would have been more competitive if not for the quick loss of wickets.

England's opener Phil Salt scored a century in both matches. He scored 109 runs in 56 balls in the third match and 119 runs in 57 balls in the fourth match. Livingstone scored 53 off 21 balls, Buttler scored 55 off 29 balls and Will Jack scored 24 runs off 9 balls.

I don't think any Girona players want to leaves their team on the top standings, they will stay however until the end of this season and want celebrate their achievement success manage with top position place.

Girona is playing great this season. No one expected such a performance from this team. Also their squad is not very strong. However, the bond between the players is very strong and Girona continues to perform well thanks to the coach's excellent match tactics. In every match we see good performance from Girona players. Girona's defense is strong, and they are also capable of scoring a lot of goals. Girona has a great chance to win the title this season if the team does not lose the truck. Team coaches and players are also hard working. They will continue to make maximum efforts to occupy the top spot in the table.

The team they compete against is Real Madrid. Therefore, it is not right to say that the championship probability is high. Still, they're doing their best. They are a wonderfully coordinated team. They are interlocked with each other. It is very difficult to beat Girona and Real Madrid has done it so far. I don't know how long they will play at such a high level in the rest of the league, but their performance this year deserves great appreciation.

Real Madrid and Girona have each lost one match this season. Girona drew 2 matches and Madrid drew 3 matches. This is why Real Madrid are now 2 points behind.
We thought Girona's performance would deteriorate day by day and they would slip away from the top spot in the table. But Girona's performance is getting stronger day by day. Girona is dominating and winning every match. We were all surprised by the performance of Girona players against Barcelona. Girona have a great chance of winning the title if key players in Girona's squad do not succumb to nasty injuries.

Liverpool are disappointed with 1 point but they must analyze themselves that what made them missing three points after creating many opportunities in the match. Onana made some good saves and mistakes too but Liverpool's players are responsible for this draw.

Liverpool played very well in this match. And I would say they deserved the three points. But Liverpool were unlucky not to score a single goal. When a team has all 10 players playing the role of defender, it is much more difficult to win against them or score goals. Manchester United's only goal against Liverpool was to draw the match. They make no attempt to attack. Only Liverpool resisted their attacks. Although Manchester United managed to meet their goals, their performance was below average.

The reason why Liverpool couldn't have access to Manchester united easily in their home is because Manchester united coach did his home work to impact some tactics into their goalkeeper Onana which is their major challenge in this season but Onana prove to people by saving many goals not to allow Liverpool to score a single goal through out the match. I believe Liverpool will never forget what happened in this match, because they where coming with the mindset of defeating Manchester united since many teams are taking victory from them, but not knowing that things has changed positively with Manchester united. Despite their performance was below average, but the most important thing in that match they share points in the home of Liverpool.

I agree with you. Ten Hag did their homework well in this match. He probably observed every attack of the Liverpool players in the past matches very well. This is the reason why Liverpool players are not able to score any goal despite attacking a lot. In this match Liverpool players made a total of 34 shots. 8 shots were on target. From this it can be well deduced that Liverpool played attacking throughout the match and made a lot of efforts to score goals. But even then they could not break the defense of Manchester United. If Manchester United's defense remains strong in the coming matches, and the performance of Manchester United's attacking players improves somewhat, then Manchester United's performance will return to stability.

Atletico Madrid - Inter
Though pick. It can go either way. I see Atletico one step ahead but Inter is also pretty good this season, I won't be surprised if they pass this round.

This match is very hard to predict but since lautaro is on fire and i would prefer to take intermilan rather thana tletico madrid. Intermilan is just getting better and it was runner up last season.
The gameplay of intermilan has been evolving since some stars were coming to the intermilan.

This is going to be the toughest match of the round of 16. Inter Milan are in great form. The team is doing well in both Serie A and Champions League. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid are very strong this season. They have a lot of talented players in their attack. Martinez remains in great form. On the other hand Atlético Madrid have great players like Griezmann, Depay, Morata and Correa in the attack. As the players of both the teams are in good rhythm. So it will be very difficult to predict which team will win this match. Both teams have equal chances of winning.

Pakistan team has been suffering in the bowling department since the injury of Naseem Shah. Haris Rauf lost his form, although Shaheen Afridi got some wickets in the World Cup he still doesn't make much difference with the new ball. Pakistan's fielding has been deteriorating as well. They dropped multiple catches, and let the Australians have multiple runs for free as well.

Naseem Shah was better that Afridi as per my understanding. The reason being Shah is a cunning bowler who tries to take wickets and not focus on speed. Afridi is angood bowler but he is concentrated only on speed, have you ever seen him trying something new, as chaning the pace, trying a full toss or even a Yorker.

After his injury he is not doing.anything out of the box. When it comes to Rauf he is a good bowler with excellent speed, what he lacks is the ability to play long format games. He is a bowler who is better suited for the T20 format. Looking at the present situation of the Pakistani team it would be wise to find bowlers who are good in different formats.

There may be debate about who is better among Naseem Shah and Shaheen Afridi but there is no debate about the fact that Pakistan's bowling needs to be better. Looking at their bowling side, Aamer Jamal is the only bowler who can do some harm to the batsman. Shaheen needs to get his form back, which I believe he will because the form is temporary, and class is permanent. But I agree with you that they need to find different bowlers for different formats for them to perform.

Finally Girona slipped from the top number 1 position. And Real Madrid occupied the first position of the points table. But so far Real Madrid is only 1 point ahead of Girona. Meanwhile, Girona has a match against Deportivo Alaves tomorrow. In this match, Girona is much stronger than their opponents, so Girona can win this match by a good goal margin, so they can move past Real Madrid to the 1st position again. But if Girona unfortunately lose a match they will be more points behind Real Madrid which is why I don't think they will be able to overtake Real Madrid later on.

Girona beat Barcelona last week and surprised everyone. I think it's a great achievement to beat Brcelona 4-2 away. They got a good result from a very tough test. On the other hand, Alaves are one of the weakest teams in the league. Also, they have had very inconsistent results in recent weeks. I expect Girona to get a comfortable win tonight. Real Madrid won this week and moved to the top of the league. But I think Girona are very close to taking it back.

Lol, why do you say Girona slipped even though in reality, Girona will just play this week's match in a few hours. Unless, if Girona has played a match in this Week 17 and then Girona loses, then you could say Girona slipped. Anyway, the match in Week 17 also in fact that Girona will play at home and of course, Girona will still have a chance to win by beating Alaves in today match.

After all, previously Girona played away against Barcelona but in reality, Girona managed to win with a very good score of 2-4. Therefore, of course Girona at this moment has above average quality and yes, with good quality like that then ya, I personally cannot underestimate Girona this season because in fact Girona is better than Barcelana at this moment too.

Girona has played 1 match less than Real Madrid so we cannot say they “slipped”. They are just not on the top of the table currently but I think they will be by the end of the weekend. Girona's upcoming match is against a comparatively weaker team which I don't see them losing. Girona has surprised me this season with their performance. Even if Girona drops points against Alaves, I think the deciding match on who will win the league will be between the match between them and Real Madrid. Girona has been consistent and I believe they will be consistent till the end of the season. I am looking forward to that Real Madrid vs Girona match.

New Zealand Women vs Pakistan Women

New Zealand Women's team and Pakistan Women's team meet today in the last ODI match of the series. The New Zealand team has already won the series by winning the first two matches. In both the matches, we have seen the excellent performance of New Zealand batsmen. However, the New Zealand women's team could not provide a big target in today's match. Today the New Zealand team has given a target of only 253 runs.
Since the target is not big, Pakistan has a chance to win today's match. But the performance of Pakistan's batsmen is very erratic. Pakistan lost their two wickets for 37 runs. At the end of 14 overs, Pakistan women's team collected 53 runs.

Spain became the country that qualified the most teams to the knockout phase. Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad they all won the group. Only Sevilla failed to qualify. While for Germany and Italy only 3 each then England 2. Of course with the condition of Niki the chances of Spanish clubs winning the UCL this season are quite large, but there are many strong teams in this knockout phase. I'm waiting for the knockout phase draw, hopefully there will be a game with a League team or a final too early.

I don’t wish for the final to come too early as it happened last season when the match between Real Madrid and Manchester City was played at the semifinals matchup. It was very obvious that any team that won between those two in the semifinals will be the champions league winners and that was what happened after Manchester City eliminated Real Madrid from the semifinal. I can’t say for now which league teams will make it to the final just yet. The elimination stage draws will decide more on which team would make it far in this competition before getting to the final stage of the competition.

Even though Spain has the most teams that have qualified for the Champions League knockout phase but ya, this factor still won't guarantee that the Spanish team will get the trophy. After all, of that four teams, the only one who really has a chance to go further is Real Madrid because yes, the other three teams don't have as good a chance as Real Madrid to go further at this moment.

After all, even though Germany and England only have a few teams in this knockout phase, but in reality teams like Manchester City, Arsenal, Bayern Munich also have good quality and ya, at least there is still Inter there too. Therefore, even though Spain has more teams in this knockout phase but still, not all Spanish teams have a good chance.

Yes, although Spain has more clubs in the playoffs, it will be very tough for a club from Spain to win the UCL. Real Madrid has the best chance of winning the UCL from the clubs from Spain. I think the clubs with chances of winning the UCL are Manchester City, Arsenal, Real Madrid & Bayern Munich. I don't see any other team winning UCL.

However, anything can happen in football at any team. Inter might surprise everyone like last season and actually win the whole thing this time. PSG are also struggling a little bit. Manchester City are also struggling recently. If they fail to come back to their old forms before the playoffs begin and if they are matched up against a strong team, they might be eliminated as well.

I think that it's a true danger for Argentina to have this situation in which they have a bad relationship between Scaloni and Messi and it seems these two can't keep working together anymore. Currently, Argantina is in a good situation and even if they play in the 2026 World Cup with this team, still, Argantina can have a good chance to win the title for another time. But if they lose Scaloni before this tournament, I think can't expect to see the same performance from this team and no one knows about the future of Argentina in the 2026 World Cup anymore with their possible new coach.

@Leviathan.007 I believe that they’ll sort it out for the sake of Argentina because they’re professionals and they know that they need to be united if they’re to succeed in the near future. Furthermore in case this doesn’t get sorted then I feel that they should back Scaloni and allow him to build a new Argentina side that’s no longer dependent on Messi.

There is no doubt about this all but sometime we have issues like these when teams reach at their peak and then things like these bring them down which are really matter of shame, but personal egos create this all and no one want to let down himself which is another problem, but currently we are having things in early stages if these both parties sit and settle their issues then surely we can expect positive move for the Argentinean soccer otherwise consequences can be worst in coming days with their current situation is important as they are having good success and things can go more good in the future.

Lionel Scaloni is one of the best man on duty, and he can bring more achievements for the country with his strategy and mentality which is good, but Lionel Messi is the legendary player so currently he needs to understand this all and end his issues for the country.

I absolutely do not understand this thing between players and coaches. After all, they are professionals. So they should also behave with professionalism and not do these kinds of things which can actually jeopardize the situation of the team. I also hope that they will sort these things out for the sake of the team. I just do not want to see another repeat of the winner of the World Cup getting knocked out very early. Probably I am thinking about the extreme. But we have seen that happen for quite a few times, and it is definitely not impossible.

Lens struggled to get a win in the first 5 weeks, but they managed to pick themselves up and they haven't lost in the league for 11 weeks, a statistic that reminds me of last season again.Lens will continue on their way in the Europa League even if they are eliminated from the Champions League group.The opponents they will face here are easier and more competitive teams for them, so they can focus a little more on the league. Lens, who are currently 5th in the league, will at least want to finish in the top 3 of the league.The next week they will go to Nice, one of the form teams of the league, and this will be a very important match for them.The next week they will play PSG, so the better these 2 weeks go for them, the better their chances of finishing the league in a better place.

Qualifying for the Champions League came with too much pressure for Lens. They was amongst my best side last season. They had one impressive form which helped them qualify for the Champions League.
Watched em seize three points against Sevilla and even if they failed to qualify for the knockouts stage in the Champions League, making it to the Europa League is another big achievement.
Glad to see how they've now won back to back games at home. That should gladden the home fans for that great game.

I've been a big fan of Gennaro Gattuso, since he didn't nget a good coaching career with Napoli and Valencia. With Marseille, i would love to.see him qualify the lads for the Champions League next season.

They have already been knocked out from the Champions League. And now they are going to play in the Europa League competition. I absolutely agree that it was a great pressure for them to lay in the Champions League. Because it does not matter which team is playing in the Champions League. Because that team, whichever it is, is going to be under a tremendous amount of pressure because everyone expects them to perform well in the Champions League. But now they are not in the Champions League anymore and even in the Europa League, there are a lot of really good teams performing. So I think they should actually concentrate on Ligue 1.

Even after the new chairman they got into Barcelona but couldn't solve their financial issues and this is still not in a good financial situation because of the wrong decisions they made in the past now Barcelona is losing power because they can't hire players Xavi needs and some players in Barcelona like Lewandowski are getting old while Barcelona can't buy players to take their place in the team and this is scary for them. I think they also need to try buying players they have in the team for Laon to have a more stable situation in the next months.

Unless Barcelona right now somehow gets a huge amount of money from somewhere or somehow gets a rich owner, the problems of Barcelona are not going to go away. They have created the problem for themselves and they will have to suffer right now. I honestly do not think that they have actually seen this problem coming. Of course, they did not think that Lionel Messi was going to leave and Barcelona is going to be in such a problem right now. But it has already happened. There is no way to reverse the time. So Barcelona will have to work with what they have.

I definitely agree that the steps that Barcelona has taken are really good. Probably there have been some questionable things done. But it can still work out in favor of them.

This week is really wonderful for Leipzig. Because they won their game against Hoffenheim first. Dortmund lost two points against Augsburg in the meantime which helped Leipzig get away from them more in the standings. Probably Bayern Munich will beat Stuttgart home today as well which will make Leipzig capture the third place.

But I believe we will see a great competition for top 4 positions among Leipzig, Stuttgart and Dortmund until the end of the season. Maybe Dortmund are 5 points behind Stuttgart right now but I think they will stay in this competition anyway. If they can't finish in top 4 then probably Terzic might get sacked. Sad

The results were quite complicated for several teams at the top of the Bundesliga and Leipzig's victory was really sweet, especially since it was a home win for them. Dortmund disappointed his fans again and also the bettors definitely lost money betting on him. I don't know what is happening with Dortmund because lately they have become increasingly unclear and have only managed to secure 1 win in the last month and with this result it is quite clear they are not the same title contenders as the previous season. The draw against Augsburg was regrettable and they cannot continue like this in the future.

Bayern Munich played a pretty strong match against Stuttgart and Thomas Tuchel certainly doesn't want to be crushed again after suffering a heavy defeat against Frankfurt last week. Maybe that could happen for Edin Terzic considering that so far Dortmund has never been out of the top 4 competition and if that happens then Dortmund will look for a new coach next season.

Things are going well in Leipzig. They did not leave the race for the top and continued to widen the point gap with Dortmund. It's been a good week for them. Now they will wait for Bayern Munich to lose points. Even though I think Bayern Munich will beat Stuttgart at home, some results are uncertain.

Dortmund will not leave the race, but they will look for the points they lost in the coming weeks. Leipzig must widen this point gap as much as it can and move away from Dortmund. I wonder how long Stuttgart can last in this fight. As the league progresses, the matches will become more competitive.

Velvet78, Looking at Dortmund, I actually wonder if they will give the other teams good competition to be in the top four positions, to be honest. Because right now it does not seem like Dortmund is currently at any stage to give any competition for the top four. The point difference is definitely a little too much. Of course, this is recoverable. But the way Dortmund is performing, which is definitely very inconsistent, I do not think Dortmund will actually give them any competition at least at this moment. So yes I think Leipzig is going to be a good contender for the top four sports in Bundesliga.

It seems the bad financial situation is just putting Barcelona under more pressure because Claudio Echeverriinthe Argentinian player who has the same playing style as Messi and people think this young talent can shine for his team like Messi but Barcelona cannot hire him because of the financial issues they have in the team. In fact, Claudio Echeverri, the player of the Atlético River Plate is even interested in joining Barcelona but he should wait to see if Barcelona can have a better financial situation in the future or not.

It's nothing new when Barcelona have a player in mind but they struggle to really bring him in. Their problem has always been the same in recent seasons, which is related to their finances which are still not stable until now. They even have to think about finding ways to bring in players, one of which is by recruiting players who are without a club so they can bring them in for free.
Regarding the young players they are after, there are actually many young players who want to join Barcelona and those young players have great potential to become shining players in the future. But again they can't do it at will, because there are many considerations that they have to think carefully, especially if it has to do with finances. Keep in mind, that many teams have gone bankrupt because of their increasingly difficult financial problems.

Barcelona just did not make good financial decisions in the past, and that is just coming back to haunt them right now. Of course, they are not going to be able to do well now financially. Because they did not make good financial decisions in the past. They were probably the only club who was giving so much money as a salary to their players. And now they are just praying for their mistake. Honestly giving that type of money to a bunch of really old players (except for Lionel Messi) was definitely a bad decision for them. now I think they are just simply paying the price. The only thing that seems not okay is that the current coach is paying the price for the trouble that was made by some other coach.
