That announcement released my tension. Thank you so much. Now you people will have to bear my critical analysis on the matches and some inside stories live from the stadium on this thread  , which will help you make more accurate bets on ipl matches  Not only you many have welcomed this move of making this thread a discussion one, previously only participants were allowed to comment here. IPL is bigger event then T20 WC and there must be some dedicated thread to such big cricket event. I am with Chennai super kings because of there skipper i.e. MS Dohni |

Don't use the excuse of scariness for the bad performance of the Australians bowling. They are provided with the highest level of security in Paksitan. They have been given the same security protocol which is given to the prime minister of Pakistan.
The question now is when should Pakistan declare the innings? 500 or even more ? We need enough time to bowl them out in the next three days.
Pakistan truly are now in command of this test as they have declared there first innings on 474. Star performer from Pakistan are Imam and Azahr who scored 157 and 185 runs. Azhar was unlucky to miss his double century. Second day play is delayed due to bad light something Australia really needed badly. |

Will it be possible if you could elaborate on which coins have dissapointed you so far from your investments? Given the track nature of altcoins in the market, if you closely monitor the prices or if you HODL it for long-term, then the results would most likely be the same as the prices of some majority of the altcoins depend on the price of BTC as well.
Personally, if you plan on HODLing long-term, then investing into BTC is the way to go. Similarly, there are people who compare BTCs as to investing into blue-chip stocks as its price may be high but the returns are somehow guaranteed in long-term investment.
The main reason why I prefer BTC over other alts is that price of alts are mostly dependent on BTC price fluctuations. Till date no alts has reached its peak or ATH while BTC is down and out (there may be few exceptions but its the trend). If somebody wanna go for diversify portfolio then he should built portfolio in such a way that 70 to 80% of his investment must be in BTC and rest should go in alts (top 20 alts at CMC). Whether you invest in BTC or alt, key factor to success is patience aka HODLing. There is no way you can get rich overnight. |

Both the teams are unpredictable. Pakistan has been an unpredictable team ever since they started playing test cricket. Australia on the other hand become one in the recent times. Pace bowling department is especially strong for these two teams, and it is the middle order batting where they are weak. For Australia, Steve Smith is not in very good form now and Pakistan depends a lot on Babar Azam. As you mentioned, Australia is touring Pakistan after so many years and it will be a prestige battle for both the teams.
Well first test is finally underway and so far things are going good for Pakistan at the end of first session. Of course we cant predict match outcome after first session. Pakistan is totally an unpredictable team, they have never won a match in WC and everyone was saying they will loss to India in T20 WC 2021 but they won by 10 wickets. In same WC semi final, they lost the match to Australia after dominating the hole game. |

Top order failed and they fail to chase the total, i thought it was a decent target even though Bangladesh were smart enough to play Rashid Khan carefully and then attack the rest of the bowlers and they were successful in that aspect. Afghanistan needs to strengthen their batting order as some of players lacks consistency. If their Top order performs then they have tail end players who can throw the bat.
Rashid khan has very decent bowling figures in this T20I 4-0-15-1, Bangladesh were smart enough to target Qais Ahmad, Nabi and Mujeeb Ur Rahman. 155 was not a huge target and I thought that Afghanistan will put up a good show in reply but they failed. Afghanistan first four wickets were down on just 20 runs and after that wickets keep falling. |

First ODI of Women WC is underway at Mount Maunganui b/w New Zealand Women and West Indies Women. WI has given target of 259, Hayley Matthews was the top scorer with 118 runs. In reply, NZ Women need 62 runs in 54 balls with 4 wickets in hands. Right now NZ are in comfortable position as Sophie Devine and Sophie Devine are batting on 102 and 23 runs. WI need to break this partnership if they wanna win this game.

Finally after 24 years, Test match between Pakistan and Australia is finally in progress at Rawalpindi. Pakistan decided to bat first and so far its a smooth sailing for them, 105 for the loss of one wicket at the end of first session. Pakistan feeling good after having an opening stand of 105 runs before Abduaalh shafique getting out for 44 runs. Pakistan need to score 350+ runs as there main bowlers are not available.

The new record should be set after Arsenal succeed in defeating Wattford, Leicester city, and Liverpool. The first two might seem achievable but for Liverpool it won't be as easy as it seems. although chances of replacing of Chelsea in the third position might look a bit realistic we might be seeing new records but it might end in the third position
Arsenal right now are in good form but they are still at no 6 because they have poor start of 2021/22 season, lost all there 3 opening matches. Arsenal have already lost to Liverpool 4-0 on 20 Nov 2022 and lost twice to Man City 5-0 and 2-1. Arsenal need to play exceptionally well in coming matches if they really wanna finish among top 5. |

They are currently rank no 1 test team so it obvious that they won't say, yeah we might lose the series or we have virtually no chance of winning. Every player or coaching staff from any country would say the same thing (including things like yeah "it would be tough tour") if reporter asking them such ques during interviews or any press conference.
I would say Australia defiantly have more chances of winning the series but not whitewashing like they did with England in there home ground. Pakistan key set back in non availability of Faheem Ashraf and Hasan Ali, this may have impact on test series result. For first test Pakistan is planning for 5 men attack, 3 fast and 2 spinners. Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem and Wasim Jr as fast bowlers while Nauman Ali and Sajid Khan as the spinners. |

This is really good with ICC increasing the Women's World Cup prize money. Slowly more importance is being given to the women's cricket. At times the women's cricket seems to be underrated. Proper funding is the only way through which it is possible to make good teams and players. Women's World Cup is scheduled for tomorrow and runs for a month. Any prediction on the winner, and I believe it is Australia to grab.
That's the first step in promoting women cricket and I would say the prize money is good enough. $1.32 million for winner where boards like BCCI are not willing to spend penny for women leagues is a welcome move from ICC. From winner prediction point of view, NZ are in good form too as they have recently beaten India 4-1 in ODI series. Only Australia, England and NZ have good women teams rest of Boards don't pay much attention on women cricket. |

They are left with 7 test match ( 3 series). If they want to qualify for the finals without depending on any other team's result then they need minimum 6 wins.
Home - 2 tests against Sri Lanka
Away - 2 against Pakistan and 3 against England
Let's say they successfully beat SL easily at home but they still need to win 4 games against Pak and Eng, which i think would be very tough and really need a miracle because Pakis are no dummy imo. Already said about England, they are dead in WTC and hit the rock bottom. Their trajectory can only go up from here so i believe they will perform okay from now on, at least at home.
This means that New Zealand they can only lose one match out of 7 scheduled tests. Its difficult from here but not impossible as they have 5 matches against SL and England. I go with @Sithara007 thats too early to predict that who will qualify for the final as Aus and SL have played only one series so far. If Australia manage to beat Pakistan in upcoming test series then surely they have chance to reach final of WTC 2022. |

Bangladesh - Afghanistan
Bangladesh will play the first match of the T20 series today after a 2-1 win in the ODI series against Afghanistan. Even if Bangladesh wins the ODI series, I will keep Afghanistan ahead in T20 format. Afghan players are very experienced for this format. They perform in various franchise leagues almost all year round, so they are more experienced than Bangladeshi players. The match will be played in Mirpur, and we know that the pitch in Mirpur is more supportive of the spinners. Afghanistan has some world-class spinners in the team.
Out of 7 T20Is played between Afghanistan and Bangladesh, 4 are Won by Afghanistan while Bangladesh only manage to win 2 T20Is. This shows how strong Afghanistan is in T20 format. Though Afghanistan lost the ODI series but they proved to be equally good as Bangladesh. I do agree that there players like Muhammad Nabi and Rashid play T20 leagues throughout the year and thats why Afghanistan have edge in T20 format. |

Definitely, Arsenal will surely win their upcoming matches to get to 3rd position in the premier league table because their performance is very good this days in this tournament. Arsenal players are really playing a professional game that will make them to over take Chelsea in 3rd position and move close to Liverpool and Manchester city,if their coach can still introduce more strategies into the team that they can use to achieve victory in all their matches. Liverpool team draw their last match with Chelsea that is causing a great fail into the minds of Liverpool fans because of the poor performance between them and Chelsea.
Arsenal still has chance to make it to top three since it has won 14 out of 24 matches played. Man City and Liverpool have secured top two slots while for slot 3 the competition is very much on b/w Chelsea, Man United, West Ham and Arsenal. I would say Arsenal has better chances of finishing at number 3 because of there recent winning form and number of matches played. |

If the opener does not start the innings well, it becomes difficult to win the match. And I want to blame their two openers for New Zealand's defeat. Tom Latham scored 1 run in two innings. Will Young collected 3 runs in two innings. If the two of them could have started well and collected around 30-40 runs, New Zealand could have fought for the win. But the South African bowlers have played great. Rabada's bowling was outstanding.
Not only openers of New Zealand Tom Latham and Will Young collapsed but the whole batting line up collapsed against SA bowling lineup. Its Conway and Colin de Grandhomme who saved NZ from humiliation in first and second innings. New Zealand have to wait for next series to break there losing series streak against SA. |

No, I think India was already in the form. They have recently won against Scotland, Afghanistan in the T20 world cup. Then they won matches against West Indies and now they are winning against Srilanka. India is capable of beating these weak teams. They only fail to perform or struggle when they play with big teams like Pakistan and Australia etc.
India team recently lost to South Africa in Test 2-1 and whitewashed in ODI series. Now we cant say that winning against WI and SL at home is a sign that they have regained form and Rohit Sharma is a good captain. WI and SL are both weak teams and can easily be beaten by any test playing team. These days good teams are Australia, Pakistan, New Zealand, England and South Africa. Both India and Rohit need to perform good against them to prove that they are strong too. |

Pakistan certainly needs to find a substitute for him as soon as possible. Probably we might see some reserve players in action. Mohammad Abbas could be a valid option.
News not good for Pakistan from fast bowling perspective. Hasan Ali and Faheem Ashraf are already not available due to injuries in PSL. Now Naseem Shah (a travelling reserve) is replacing Haris Rauf. Pakistan will mostly rely on Shaheen Afridi in fast bowling department. These injuries will further lessen Pakistan chances in Test. |

Let's just deviate from Pakistan India seris which is not going to happen in a decade. There is breaking news for PCB and cricket fans in Pakistan as Australia arrive in Pakistan for first tour in 24 years. Aussie captain after touch down in Pakistan saying 'I feel incredibly safe,'.Tour will start with 3 match test series and first test is scheduled on 4th March 2022. Both teams are in good form. I rate Australia favorite for test format while Pakistan in T20 series as both have performed well in these formats. |
