Interesting part of this series is that there is Mongolia Women team that played two matches. In there game against Indonesia, Mongolia women just scored 15 runs in 10 overs while in there second game against Hong Kong they scored 22 runs in 15 overs. None of there player was able to make it to double figures in both games. Lets see whether its India or SL who take gold in this category.
Looks like inclusivity by calling teams that are terrible than school teams and we see some record breaking performance from Mongolia and there were some terrible performance from other teams as well.

India is the strongest team and Sri Lanka needs to come up with some magical performance to upset and win the gold like they did last year when their captain Chamari Athapaththu took the Indian bowlers apart and won the game for them.

Both batters reached their 100s in this match, 5 centuries by Gill this year. Iyer was struggling due to a cramp, managed to get his hundred but got out after it. The game is controlled by the Indian batters, Australian bowlers are looking helpless. In all cases, if nothing goes wrong India will give Australia a big target to chase. I do not think it will be easy for them to chase a big target considering the bowling attack India has against them. Shubhman Gill should try to play till the end of this match, if he does then he can get a double century.
Everything is lining up for India before the World Cup, there is no major injury concerns, everyone is back in form and even the second string side could win the World cup with the way things are shaping up for India, Suryakumar Yadav, Ruturaj Gaikwad or even KL Rahul might not get a spot in the playing eleven during the World Cup and Mohammed Shami might be the back up bowler if Mohammed Siraj or Jasprit Bumrah gets injured Shocked.

No matter how much Kohli and his proxies like Hardik and Rohit tried during their respective captaincies, they could never achieve what Dhoni achieved.
You cannot compare anyone to MSD, he was one of the best captains in the World who showed he can take a young team to a major event and win the first T20 World cup when even the hardcore fans had zero expectations and the best India will have in a very long time, once in a generation kind of player.

Australian series is batting practice for the batters and bowlers doing their job like they always does, Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer scored their centuries and now Suryakumar Yadav is throwing his bat at everything reaching his half century in 25 balls and still smashing the Australian bowlers in his typical fashion, 3 overs left and they already scored 372 runs  Cheesy.

 Cricket administration is making unfair demands, perhaps in order to get their bid rejected by the IOC.
ICC for the longest period was not interested in applying for a spot in the Olympics, if they submitted any proposals then they wanted to have some sort of representation, if not they will not bother sending an application to get rejected to begin with as it does not make any sense. In Asian Games, Cricket is included recently but only Women's team is participating as far as i understand.

The problem is that while doing all these "mind-games", Kohli sometimes behaves like a baboon. Cricket is like 90% skills and 10% mind-games. Jokers like Kohli want it to be 90% mind-games and 10% skills. And no matter how much "psychological advancement" they gain before the world cup, I don't think that India is going to win the trophy as long as Kohli is in the team. He is the eternal panauti for the Indian national team. India will have a better chance once he retires. And Kohli will be known as the player who has never won a major ICC tournament for India.
Spoiler alert, Virat Kohli was a team member and played in the finals of 2011 ODI World Cup final when India won the entire tournament. There is no debate about the consistency of Virat Kohli in any format, the only issue i have with him is not winning the IPL playing for Bangalore even with one of the best players they have in their side. If you really think Kohli is 90% mind games who are the players you think are better than him during his generation.

4 wickets down and NZ is now in trouble, only 31 over remaining and NZ score is just above 150. Tom Blundell is playing aggressively and made his fifty. Ban captain should do something for this player otherwise target may goes up above 250.
For a moment it looked like New Zealand will not score anything above 200 runs as they were struggling with the bat and not able to build partnership but the lower order batsman helped them reach a decent total to defend against Bangladesh. Hopefully rain will not interrupt in this match and Bangladesh will be missing the service of Shakib Al Hasan, if not it is not an impossible total for Bangladesh to chase in their home ground.

Just recently, I was tempted to check my first ever Bitcoin wallet to see what I have done in the past. I was so depressed seeing the volume of Bitcoin that have passed through my wallet without me saving a reasonable portion of it.
The majority of the old time users here will have the same feeling if you go back and check your wallet history or the amount of BTCitcoin volume you spent in gambling sites or by looking at the amount of coins you send as tips and there is no point in regrets as i made huge profits in the cryptocurrency market in each and every rally in this space.

 If Australia give a 280 plus target for india then Australia has a good chance to win this match.
It is highly unlikely they will score anything above 265 and even if Australia is able to score above 280 runs, India will chase down the total considering this is the last chance for many of the players in this Indian squad to prove their worth to get into the World Cup playing eleven especially for Suryakumar Yadav and Shreyas Iyer.

Terrible wicketkeeping by KL Rahul as he missed 4 or 5 chances behind the stumps including run out chances and he should hand over the gloves to Ishan Kishan rather than sleeping behind the stumps.

I don't know how Ash Anna gets into the picture before any WC LOL. He wasn't in the race for the 2020 t-20 WC squad but got in and here again, one unfortunate injury to Axar and Chadwin gets another shot. Not complaining, just pointing out his luck. Another story for WTC finals tho lol
The topic of Ashwin getting into the World Cup team started during the super 4 group match in the Asia cup when India was defending 213 against Sri Lanka, Axar was the only bowler who was struggling and gave away runs while everyone else bowled brilliantly and picked wickets and then the commentators and social media started talking about Ashwin in that position and how he could have bowled brilliantly instead of Axar and voila now Axar is injured and Ashwin is back in the team simply because of that match and the performance of Axar in one game and he did not perform the entire series  Cheesy.

Let's see if Leon Edwards could now dominate a fight and prove that he is worthy of that title or if Colby will take it away from him.
The fight promotion would be crazy as Colby will talk a lot of smack before the event and this will be probably the last opportunity for Colby to get a title shot.

But I like the fact that he is focusing on how much fans supported the Noche UFC event and he wants to repeat it. Mexican fans love their fighters and we saw that also in boxing when Canelo fought in his hometown against Ryder.
Overall the Mexican fans loves fighting, be it Boxing or MMA and Noche event was conducted during Mexican independence day and the viewership was record breaking and hence he mentioned he will be putting up a fight card during every Mexican day from here on every year.

Also, he said Raul Rosas Jr. gained more audience in online and television views than the other fights so he will definitely be in that event again. I like that young fighter and he definitely makes the crowd want to watch him more.
Raśl Rosas is really young, just 18 years old and he has the potential but was disappointed with the way he struggled against Christian Rodriguez in his previous fight where he was unable to do anything offensive and even struggled on the ground, he needs to improve in certain positions and earn his experience in fight game before putting him against specialist or even the top ranked fighters.

Colby never ran out of title shots but he fails every time. Now with Edwards, he might fail again. He wasn't making progress though he won against Masvidal in his last fight, it wasn't a fight that you will remember being extraordinary. This might be Colby's last title fight and if he still can't get the belt, he'll go down the rank.  Belal should have been in his shoes to fight Edwards.
There is no doubt that Belal Muhammad deserved the title shot as he have unfinished business with Leon Edwards with a no contest bout and on a 9 fight winning streak. US has 3 champions now in Jon Jones, Sean O'Malley and Sean Strickland and majority thinks that Colby Covington will be the fourth US champion. If Colby Covington fails this time then this is his last opportunity to get to the title.

I do not think it will hamper the Australian side performance, as BCCI did some big changes while selecting the team for this match.
Major difference is that Australia is struggling with injuries, Travis Head already ruled out of the World Cup, Pat Cummins, Steven Smith and Mitchell Starc are coming back from injuries and Glenn Maxwell is not completely fit to play, on the other hand India is looking for the best combinations to play in the World Cup and are experimenting with Ashwin, Washington Sundar and giving more game time for Shreyas Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav.

The match is in favour of Bangladesh as New Zealand have lost 5 wickets scoring 136 runs in 33.4 overs. Home ground favour Bangladesh and can chase targets with confidence. Lets see if this is going to be a winning match for Bangladesh or ends with no result due to rain.
The rain is back again and it looks like the match will be cut short once again, really disappointed that majority of the matches now are affected by weather and the teams are not getting enough opportunity to prepare for the upcoming World Cup. If this match continues it looks like Bangladesh will come out to bat and with a small target to chase and in their home ground, it will be an easy win for them.
54  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: $28M stolen from CoinEx - are your funds safe? on: September 20, 2023, 06:17:13 PM
A crypto exchange based in Hong Kong, CoinEx, is dealing with a security breach. They've lost a significant amount of ETH and TRON from their hot wallets (4,946 ETH and 354,762 TRX so far). The company is looking into it and has promised to reimburse affected users.
I was thinking that we have not heard about a major breach for months and now we have another one, it is not that of a surprise now, to hear millions of dollars worth of stolen coins from one or the other cryptocurrency business.

The amount stolen is $70 million according to reports and that too the hackers were able to compromise their private keys, no idea how they were able to do that, but many more hacks should we witness once these companies take security seriously.

I've also heard some rumours that UFC have kind of financial difficulties, then those competitors possible merge can take a huge piece of his audience pie. Today, PFL does not look like a silly low rated promotion for rest of the mma fighter, anymore. PFL went from "wow they had a tournament with 1 million prize" to "we have Ngannou", "We might get Jake Paul in our octagon" and etc. They really start to strongly pull blanket to their side. Bellator is full of UFC former stars, PFL looks like have money. Their combo can be dangerous to UFC. No wonder Dana is nervous.
UFC is owned by Endeavor group and they are purchasing huge entertainment brands left and right and they are one that recently purchased WWE the wrestling company and i do not think they are under financial difficulties. The problem with PFL and Bellator is that they need to find talents that can stand out if they want fans to watch each and every show, UFC is doing that constantly and other promotion needs to do a better job promoting the fighters.

Transgender man knocks out biological woman in MMA fight Cheesy What do you think about this? I know there are transgenders in swimming and weight lifting (few even were participating on Olympic Games).
In Olympics they will not allow biological man to face a biological female. This should not happen in any sports let alone in fighting as it is unfair.

Did Siraj really bowl well or is it just brain fade batting from the Lankans? Not complaining but there goes our Sunday down the drain. Was expecting some competitive finale.
Siraj bowled brilliantly and then there were some outstanding catches and then some amateur batting from the Sri Lankan batters, throwing the bat even when they are 4 down, not even trying to understand the length and bounce of the ball.

I did not understand what happened, but I was expecting a competitive game of cricket.  
Sri Lanka thought it was a T20 and the entire final match lasted 21 overs  Cheesy.

 I was really confused about the result surely Shevchenko also did a great job in getting those takedowns and those heavy hits she even got 1 round for herself but I am not really an expert in analyzing the fight but for sure it was really a close one and they say that Mike Bell had a controversial judging because he gave a 10 - 8  score on the 5th round for Alexa Grasso but if he gives a 10 - 9 score the championship belt will definitely go to Valentina Shevchenko for sure Shevchenko will have another complaint about the result and she should have won the fight but for sure that sparring with guys are real for Shevchenko  because she got a pretty muscular physique right now,
The judging was shady and there should be some sort of investigation into how they scored the bout as there is no way Alexa Grasso is winning the 5th round 10 - 8 and if not for that stupid judging decision Valentina Shevchenko would have retained the title. Now the UFC needs to reschedule the fight once again as it was a really close fight and i was surprised with the striking of Alexa Grasso and overall it is one of the best fights in Women MMA.

A total of 160 ODIs match have been played on this Colombo pitch, of which 88 matches have been won by the team batting first.And if talk about the previous match between India and Bangladesh , Bangladesh batted first  and won the match .Now let's see which team wins the toss and decides
Sri Lanka has a dream start, they already lost 6 wickets for 13 runs and now the lower order batsman has more time to bat which they can take advantage of the situation  Wink. One of the best opening spells by Mohammed Siraj picking up 5 wickets and troubling everyone and Jasprit Bumrah is giving trouble in the other end and i will be surprised if they cross 100 runs from the situation they are in  Cheesy.

It's an exciting battle, we are all want to see this battle. I hope the rain will not come and Sri Lanka win this Asia Cup. Smiley
If Sri Lanka is able to win the match then it will be one of the greatest underdog story if they are able to defeat a full strength Indian team and win the Asia cup. My bet is on India to win.

Another interesting match up between South Africa and Australia is ongoing and with the series levelled, the winner of this match takes the series. The pitch is really slow and it is difficult to bat and South Africa is playing cautiously and moving at a slow pace, will see how the match goes.

Although the title says, the ban of credit cards but when you read the actual news it says that they will ban crypto usage in online gambling too.
The article you posted never mentions cryptocurrencies, instead they are referring to digital currencies, majority of the credit card companies will not allow to use your credit card in gambling sites and it is implemented sometime back. Since there are ways to overcome these restrictions, curious to see how they will enforce the ban with many apps and companies that are not under their jurisdiction, how they will enforce the rule on a global scale.
