It is more than a decade that India has not been participating in football  , I'm just noticing that Pakistan have not been participating too . This ban will do them no good at all, it will take them a long time to get used to football because for sometime they have not been competing with other teams.

Oh, I did not know that Fifa Ban Indian football too. They also banned our country, not for security reasons but because they believe that our offices were controlled by third-party. Later on in 2022, this ban was lifted and we had a sign of relief.
More details:- FIFA lifts suspension of Pakistan Football Federation

By the way, when we see the progress of our neighboring countries like Saudia Arab, Qatar, Japan, Korea, Iran, etc, we see that both Pakistan and India are left behind in this race of become a strong football nation.

Enjoyed a very beautiful game in today's 51st Match of Big Bash League. Today's game was played at The Gabba, Brisbane. And Brisbane Heat vs Melbourne Stars participated in this game. Brisbane Heat batted first and gave a target of 188 runs. Later on the field to bat.  Named Melbourne Stars. They managed to score 184 runs in 20 overs. Melbourne Stars lost this match by 4 runs. I think it's really sad.

For the U-19 tournaments, ICC is sticking with 16 as the number of participants for almost 2 decades. Other sports (such as football and field hockey) have moved ahead and increased the number of participants and the ICC has done just the opposite (they reduced the number of participants in ODI world cup from 16 to 10). At least for the U-19 tournaments, they need to increase the number of participants to 24. A number of good teams failed to qualify this time (including Namibia, Nepal and Thailand). And also, teams such as United Arab Emirates made a mockery of this tournament, by fielding squads entirely comprised of Indian citizens.

BTW, the ICC has proposed a 6-team tournament for the 2028 Olympics. I am surprised. They should have went for a 3-team or 4-team competition. Anyway they want cricket to be played only by the pig-4. So why include more teams? All the other team sports (including football and field hockey) are having either 12 or 16 participants, and the ICC has suggested to limit the number of participants to a minuscule level. If that is the case, then why even apply for Olympic participation? Also, they don't want any qualifier tournament. ICC wants the 6 teams to be decided on the basis of their rankings. What a load of crap?

U-19 Zimbabwe Women's team have managed to score 86 runs which is quite low to defend and win the match. Zimbabwe team is popular than the Indonesian team. Indonesian team too didn't win easily, they've lost 7 wickets to reach the target with 12 balls left. As mentioned the match winning for Indonesia Women's U-19 team is a big thing, because it was Indonesia Women's team into an international tournament. Through the match atleast they'll have more experience, learn and prepare themselves for the upcoming matches.

The existence of more leagues give way for the emerging players as well as give chance for the able players who doesn't get chance to prove their ability to the world. By the time it is to be noted, that the importance of international matches and the core have been missed. Test matches and ODI matches haven't got disturbed out of these leagues. Recently India wasn't able to perform good in the T20 World Cup and the reason behind them was the players involvement into T20 leagues and opponent teams have well understood about the players of India through these regular tournaments.

I'm still wondering how will they deal with the visas, especially when they are hosting it in three countries. The United States of America and Canada have very strict visa policies, especially the USA.
Imagine, when you apply for Canadian Visa to visit the match and then your favorite team is on the edge where it's doubtful whether it wins the next match or not but imagine it wins and then you have to apply for American Visa and so on. I remember Trump said that visas would still remain for the USA but they would proceed it quickly for applicants but I don't think it will be that easy.

Visa-free entries in Canada and the USA will cause a massive wave of emigrants and it will be a chaos. Maybe they'll create Schengen-like system for a while but a lot of people from non-EAA countries will miss the opportunity to watch the match from stadium.

It seems that the Arab businessmen and those involved in the Saudi Arabian League understand how to make a profit after having to spend a lot of money to bring Ronaldo in their league, it is possible that later they will also hold matches like this to continue to earn a lot of money, I more often than not miss matches like this do not like it because the game will be very calm and the tempo is moderate or even slow.

Wrong. Expecting tail-enders to score 12 runs from 4 balls is completely silly especially against some Indian bowlers who were in great form. New Zealand avoided an embarassing defeat thanks to Bracewell and Santner.

Am not expecting them to win against India in the 2nd match though they might win in the 3rd match.

Batting on point? Lol. If it wasn't for Bracewell and Santner, they would have gotten defeated by 100+ runs. Their batting and bowling departments need serious improvements if they want to defeat India.

India Women's team is making themselves strong with their performance. In Women's cricket something close to 150 runs is good and India defended it at 120 runs. India Women cricket is getting better over time. More cricketing action happening all around and this time Women's team too getting importance. Women's teams need to have continued series will make them better over time.

There are doubts that New Zealand can beat India in tomorrow's match as well.  Although New Zealand lost the first match by just 12 runs they could have won the match as they had four balls to spare but unfortunately they lost all the wickets and if they had one wicket they could have taken 12 runs from four balls. India played three matches against Sri Lanka before playing New Zealand and they beat Sri Lanka in three matches.  But will India be able to beat New Zealand again in tomorrow's match?

There is a lot of hype about this match and even though it is friendly match between the two teams but i heard that the tickets are very expensive for this match. Is it so ?
The score is 3-2 in the favor of PSG at the moment and its really a treat to watch such a match filled with all stars. Also, this match is entertaining and i am enjoying it on my TV 

It's true that Shubman Gill and Michael Bracewell both performance was great. However, in terms of strike rate, Michael Bracewell is ahead of Shubman Gill in this match. Although they are two two-order batsmen, one top-order and one last-order, Michael Bracewell's performance was outstanding.
But even if Michael Bracewell is ahead in terms of strike rate, I will put Shubman Gill ahead if you compare them, because if you look at his performance, he has shown a very efficient performance to stay in the field. To see he playe almost 25 overs from 50over in this match and his strike and double century is also suite this .

Win or not the way I view both players still won't change. This is one match most of us have been waiting to see after the world cup. Some think Ronaldo is gonna his revenge through this match but with the way things are going right now I don't think that's going to be possible.
Two goats playing against each other that's enough to give you some extraordinary euphoria feeling.

Current score is now 2 - 2

If a gambler loses more than he can afford to lose, there will be a negative effect. But it can be under control if the gambler has forethought. In other words, if he loses as much as he will bet, how can he recover the loss that should be thought before betting. Since loss is a common aspect of gambling, everyone should know how to control it. But as a simple control strategy i need to bet when I have enough money and I can take break if needed.

Gill played soo cool. he score 208 alone. If Virat Kohli had played well, they would have scored around 400 runs. You expected 300 runs from India but they scored 349 runs.  Their performance was very good towards the end of the game.  They have always proved that India is the king of cricket, and I think India will win today's match.  New Zealand finished the game in 39 overs and they need 119 runs in 11 overs although it is possible to collect this run in 11 overs but I feel confused for New Zealand.

The main problem is that cricket is now not considered as a game but as an excellent medium of business. Various countries are now doing this. They are giving more importance to the foreign players rather than their own players, something that seems good for a short period of time  but harmful in the long run. Especially home cricketers will be discouraged. At some point, people will lose interest drastically in international cricket. As a result, cricket can also be under a big threat.

India has lost first four wicket in 37 over with a runs of 234, it's not a good day for king 👑 Kohli unfortunately he didn't score some decent runs, but no woory he will. Now Shubman Gill play a phenomenal inning and score a spectacular century still he is on crease with Hardik pandya, now both 9f them need a long partnership in order to build a strong target of above 300 because still more than 10 overs are remaining where that can easily get them.
