But in a tournament like the T20 Worldcup, experienced players are more important, if all the young inexperienced players who have not played in major tournaments have to struggle for it.
A mix of experience and youth will be a strong team rather than fielding an fully experienced team. India does have a long list of youngsters that are performing well and even in this series against Australia there are some really promising players in the side and they should get the opportunity and strengthen their bowling unit with experience. |

I think Jones still has 'it' as a fighter. I kinda had my doubts before Gane, but after Gane he showed that he's still at the top of his game. And Gane is one of the best MMA heavy weights in the world. Nobody expected Jones to finish him that fast.
And we've already seen Jones at his worst and still managed to win. If he wins vs Aspinall then there's only one fight to make for Jones... A match up vs Ngannou.
Jon Jones always find a way to win and no one managed to prove that wrong for 15 years and for someone to be on the top of the game for this long is a testimony for his greatness. Even i had my doubts against Gane as he was moving up in weight division and Gane was really fast for a Heavyweight but he just shut everything down but a fight against Aspinall would be a big challenge considering he is really fast for his size. Sadly we wont be seeing the Ngannou fight and even if he fights him, there is no way Ngannou is going to beat Jones. |

Indian team was just outplayed. There is no excuse. The captaincy of Australian team was absolutely on the point. They set up the field really well. It was a pretty unusual field setting in the middle of from Australia. They forced Virat Kohli to take a single through the third man region. And eventually, Virat Kohli got out trying to do that. And Australia had a really good plan which they executed perfectly. And honestly, it did not matter how well India was going to bowl Australia had the capability of chasing the target. we have seen Australia winning impossible matches in this tournament. Especially against Afghanistan. And I think India was used to playing in fast pitches throughout the whole tournament, so when they eventually had to play in a slow pitch, they didn't do well.
When Australia lost the first two matches of the world cup, everyone of criticizing Pat Cummins for the failure because he was not aggressive as a captain and to win the rest of the match and then to have a great game plan to counter India in the final was marvelous. Credit should be given to the coaching staff and the captain for leading from the front through the tournament with the bat even though he did not play any fancy innings but was helping the team during crucial situations and with the ball and then executing them in the field was perfect. |

Anyway the unfortunate dismissal of Virat Kohli really change entire things for india because when he lose his wickets entire Indian team lose his confidence and Thier body language indicate that they already lose match before it actually come to end.
Australia winning the toss was crucial and the Australian fielding was really impressive and they were determined to win at any cost with the dedication they showed in the field while the Indian fielders were not that good and leaking runs, just look at the number of runs India gave in the form of extras and it was a turning track aiding the spinners and Ashwin who is one of the best spinners was not in the team. |

The match is available here in ESPN+ and there is nothing about the viewership available for the event, any useful tip as the money line is not looking good as the match looks one sided as the New Zealand bowlers are struggling and unable to pick wickets rather the batsman needs to walk back due to cramps like Gill. Unless you are watching the match live and look for live bet options there is not much of a tip here as India is dominating the match and probably win the entire tournament unless South Africa or Australia play incredible two matches. Virat Kohli is struggling from cramps and if India losses a wicket now, Shubman Gill will come back and probably score his century. |

India will be the overwhelming favorites for today's match and New Zealand can hope for a miracle only if they win the toss and everything else goes in their favor. There are reports out regarding the home team meddling with the pitches that are to be used in this match to be in their favor. They have new pitches available in this ground and yet they are using an used pitch that conducted two matches earlier in the league, both the times, the team batting first won by huge margin and India choose to bat in that same pitch, so not expecting any surprises. |

Do owners of betting companies place bet on their own platform or is there a policy specific policy that restricts them from betting. Do you think that there would be conflict of interest or that it will be unethical if owners bet on their own platforms. These are the questions that I am seeking an answer to.
If you start a casino, will you set a policy to restrict you from gambling ? As a owner you can do whatever you want as long as you are the owner as these are private business and you set the policy and rules and there is nothing unethical unless you start scamming your own business. |

South Africa once again under pressure chasing a modest total against Afghanistan. Batting first they always have the confidence and with a total in front they always stumble and have no idea why they always struggle like this. They lost their 5th wicket and they still need 61 runs to win the match. Moving forward all the team will force South Africa to chase as their chances drop drastically after the toss. If Afghanistan could pick the wicket of Rassie van der Dussen we might even see South Africa loosing the match  . |

What an incredible performance by Francis Ngannou against Tyson Fury even though he lost the fight by split decision, Francis Ngannou was able to drop him in the third round and won the round and it was a really close fight than anticipated and the stock of Francis Ngannou just gone up with this performance.  ~
I certainly hope there is a rematch because Ngannou still has a lot of room for improvement. Either Fury is really starting to decline, or he didn't take this match seriously enough, or was just scared of Ngannou's power. He didn't look his best. If he is better prepared in a rematch it will be a really explosive fight but if he takes it lightly again his vulnerabilities, which were exposed again tonight, will lead to him getting knocked out cold.
Tyson Fury might have taken him lightly and it looked like he gassed out as well, it was definitely one hell of a performance by Francis as it was expected to be a cake walk for Fury when the fight was announced. |

England team is very strong but has performed so badly in the current season that the cricket loving fans are not optimistic at all. Although the Sri Lankan team did not perform well in terms of bowling, the players of a team like the England team lost 7 wickets for 123 runs.
On papers England has one of the strongest teams as they are in this edition of the world cup with the same team that won them the world cup after decades of waiting for a major tournament win and now they are literally struggling to play together as a team. England needed to win this match against Sri Lanka to have semi final hopes, but with 7 wickets lost for just 137 runs it is an impossible task. |

The Australian team is tougher than both India and Sri Lanka in performance and they can be the worst nightmare for many teams I guess. Pakistani team isn't doing well in past few matches but if they improve their gameplay then surely they'll give a tough time to Australian team.
How do you assume Australia as a tough opponent when they started the world cup with two losses, once against India and one against South Africa, not even the die hard fans of Australia are not giving them any chance to reach the semi finals. India and New Zealand are the favorites coming into this world cup and they are proving their worth and the next match between these two teams will be the interesting match up everyone is waiting to see. |

What is with the odds, KSI is not even a boxer per se and Tommy Fury has a boxing background and he is a decent boxer and the odds are spectacularly decent and Dillon Dannis does not even know to throw hands, he is a ground fighter and Logan Paul is way better than him in the stand up. Am i missing something here what is that the odds maker are seeing  . |

No one can do anything regarding this situation just this format is also losing its passion which is surely not good deal for the ICC if these stadiums have no fans then surely this is going to be the end of this format in near future. It was a surprise that fans did not turn up but i am expecting things to change once the tournaments gets going and once the match is between competitive teams, things will change. ICC needs to work on having changes in this game with keeping just two formats which will increase fanbase and ending of ODI could be also beneficial for the all stakeholders. If they are unable to retain the fans then eventually ODI will struggle to attract fans like the Test matches, few ODI are played in the past several years as the focus shifted to T20.
Expected a good match between Bangladesh and Afghanistan, but a disappointing performance by Afghanistan after getting a good start and loosing 10 wickets for 109 runs. |

Both teams have different sets of objectives with this series. India are resting 4-5 players and would like to test the bench strength and fitness of Iyer etc. Australia on the other hand would love to give some game time as main players like Cummins, Starc, Smith etc were out of the action due to fitness.
Australia will be keen on seeing how their players will perfor after returning from injury, the only positive from Steve Smith's injury is that Marnus Labuschagne got a spot to play in South Africa and he was instrumental in winning matches and now both will be playing this tour to India and find how both of these players will fit in the world cup lineup. |

Rinku Singh and Nitish Rana are playing fairly well. Can we see another Rinku Singh masterclass(abiet it was dreadful bowling last time around). 70 needed of 24 balls, its not impossible.
Even though the total was impossible to chase as they had too much runs to get in the end Rinku Singh and Nitish Rana took the team closer to the target and gave a perfect entertainment for the viewers as i thought it would be a one sided match once the target was 228 runs and lost wickets at regular intervals but played well for the 6th wicket. |

For everyone who is placing bets, there is a rumor online that Israel Adesanya is having some sort of injury coming into this fight. Posting a screenshot taken from one of the pre fight interviews which is circulating online, he is having a swollen knuckle.  |

Royal Challengers winning the toss and deciding to bowl is the wrong decision. As said Thakur gave an unexpected performance and shocked the Royal Challengers team. His contribution from the bottom order helped Kolkata Knight Riders score 200+ runs. Looking at the match now, the decision by Royal Challengers was wrong. The innings from Shardul Thakur was the difference in this match because they were struggling at 89 for the loss of 5 wickets at one point and then they took the match away from Royal Challengers and the KK spinners were outstanding, may be RR should have included more spinners. |

This proves the level of competitiveness in PSL is no match to international cricket. It also proves that the quality of local players playing in PSL is not up to the international mark. PCB needs to rework its talent pool. Now PSL looks more like a domestic league than an International league. Unfortunately, the gamble that PCB made in this series did not quite work out as they planned and I am pretty confident they would face heavy backlash from Pakistani fans.
It is about selecting the right squad, the level of competition was good and i have watched some of the matches but PCB needs to select a good team from a large pool of players and i think they failed to do that in the series against Afghanistan or they are still tired after playing the PSL and flying directly to play Afghanistan without much rest . |

Casino is already implementing KYC which is the number requirements of CBDC since this currency is fully regulated by the law.
I wont be having an issue with undergoing KYC if the casino make them mandatory because i am not gambling from a casino which is situation in my jurisdiction nor my country and hence i do not worry about the government following all my transactions but that wont be the case with CBDC as it will be monitoring each and every transaction and the data will be with the government and it is not a fair situation. |

Thats really big reach from Netherlands, because it looked like an easy win for Zimbabwe. In the final over scenario changed completely and scoring 17 runs in the last over is really great. The third run was missed and ended as a wicket. If not the scores could've got levelled. Anyhow this is deserving win for Zimbabwe to make the third ODI even more interesting as it decides the series winner.
I thought Netherlands deserved to win as they came from behind in the first ODI and literally snatched the win from Zimbabwe by the tail end which was a refreshing tale because it is rare now a days considering top teams like India failed to win yesterday when they were on a good position to win the match majority of the time and Netherlands which is literally unknown with players i have not heard making statements like these is great for Cricket. |
