In the end Dortmund had to give up third place in the Bundesliga standings for VfB, their performance was very far from last season. I really didn't think that they would have to lose to VfB before, and on the other hand Tuchel squad must be fully alert if they don't want to lose their dominance this season.
They have changed, Stutgart is very different to last season. Maybe if you're a Stuttgart fan you should thank Sebastian Hoeneß. He made a very massive change. After saving Stuttgart from relegation, he made an excellent player transfer. Not many stars but in keeping with coach Sebastian Hoeneß's style. They didn't spend much money, but they made a surprise until this week. In fact, they were able to beat Dortmund. That is proof they deserve to be in the top 5 of the ranking. Maybe they will return to the glory days of a few years ago when I was in school.  Grin
Yes indeed, Stuttgart in the past also at least had a good record in the Bundesliga but ya, if to get the trophy this seasons it still seems difficult for Stuttgart. But, if Stuttgart only targeting to be able to finish in the top four, then Stuttgart seems to have a good chance too this season. But indeed, although Stuttgart managed to beat Dortmund in their last match, but in reality they still have a close points gap. Therefore, although Stuttgart at this moment is in third place and Dortmund is only in fifth place, but it seems that Stuttgart position is also still not completely safe.

Stuttgart is a very strong team this season. After two defeats against Hoffenheim and Heidenheim, the Stuttgart team got back on track with an impressive win against Dortmund. I don't think Stuttgart will be champions. But the performance of this team is very good. Stuttgart has several weaknesses in defence. If Stuttgart's coach can strengthen the team's defence, then maybe the team will fight for the title. But it is less likely. Because Leverkusen and Bayern Munich are in great rhythm. Stuttgart will not be able to compete with these two teams.

Australia, India, New Zealand and South Africa qualified for the semi-finals. And these four teams are in great form right now. Apart from New Zealand, the performance of the other three teams is very consistent. Indian team played well and won every match. And if they continue like this, India will not lose a single match in this World Cup and will become champions. I consider India as the most favorite to win the world championship.
No brother pakistan team performance wasn't that kind of poor in the beginning of this world cup. In the beginning they constantly on to match after that they loss 4 match in a row. After that they were trying to come back. But in the previous match it's true that they are bowling performance wasn't that good. Not only just there bowling performance they are batting performance was also pore against England that's why I think their loss the match. Anyway, Pakistan's loss is good for England.  Otherwise, their ranking would have remained at the bottom, now at least they are number seven in the points table.

Pakistan started the World Cup against the Netherlands and Sri Lanka. These two teams are the weakest in this World Cup. Even then, Pakistan did not get an easy win against these two teams. Both the matches were very competitive.

After that, Pakistan lost all four matches in a row. If the performance of the bowlers had been better then maybe we would have seen 2 more wins from Pakistan. But the performance of Pakistani bowlers is quite weak in this World Cup. And finally, the team finished the World Cup journey from fifth place in the points table.

Quote from: coinlocket$
How many goals City will score against Chelsea?
My prediction is 4-0.

If Guardiola will win these 2 following games he will already have 1/2 title in his pocket.
Manchester city have what it takes to get many goals from this match, because Chelsea don't have the squads that can stop them not to perform very well to embrace victory. Manchester city are good in using home advantage to play any strong teams to ensure they make their fans feel comfortable through out the match which they will definitely apply those strategies to defeat Chelsea 4-1 to take over the first position from Tottenham Hotspur in the premier league table. Despite Chelsea is not too strong to withstand Manchester city  in this match, I believe Chelsea will definitely find their way to achieve a goal from Manchester city but Manchester city will be the one to achieve victory at the end of the match to alert other teams that they can still make it happen again in this season.

I think Manchester City will win by a big margin is very unlikely. However, I don't think the Chelsea team is strong. The performance of this team is very erratic. However, in the last match, Chelsea won a fantastic 4-1 against Tottenham. They played very well. And after a big win in this match, I think Chelsea players will be more confident and play well against Manchester City. Also managed to perform very well against Arsenal in the home match. And that's why I'd say it won't be easy for Manchester City to win against Chelsea right now. Also, even if Manchester City wins this match, it will not win by a big margin.

In today match paksitan has to win his last match for his pride at least but unfortunately they didn't and lose against a team who played worst cricket from start and just won thier recent to be honest as a fan it's really tough.
England batted well and they carry forwarded the confidence from their last win but Pakistan batting lineup got confused and dropping Fakhar zaman costed them this in my opinion also Babar failed terribly and he didn't contrbute much in the runs column. Anyway while I was watching commentators mentioned that there is possibilty to drop Babar from captaincy due to lack of performance and PCB already made this decision, now sure how much valid this statement is but if its true then who will be the captain?
When Pakistan could not stop England in terms of runs, maybe their morale strength was lost. However, it is not possible to make impossible gaps according to their needs. But if Pakistan could have won the match as the last match then maybe we could say at positively. But in the end that didn't happen either. A target of 339 runs should have given the Pakistan team a more professional match. Because they won the last match brilliantly. Anyway, let's talk about the last four now. New Zealand will face India again. However, the performance of the Indian team this time is different from any other session. No team in the last three has the ability to beat them. But there is a matter of luck so we have to wait for the results on the field of play.
I think now we should discuss only the semi-final matches. Pakistan had a poor performance in the last match due to which they were defeated by England by a big margin. When we were dreaming of Pakistan going to the semi-finals, we should have thought earlier that no matter how much we tried to fix the equation, Pakistan would have to win against England first. Where Pakistan failed to win against England, we failed to match all the equations.  

The matches between the four teams that have qualified for the semi-finals have already been decided, with India taking on New Zealand and Australia taking on South Africa. It is sure to be a tough battle between these four teams but India will definitely be ahead against New Zealand and Australia will be ahead against South Africa.

Pakistan's performance has been poor since the start of this World Cup. The bowlers did not do well, as well as the performance of the batsmen was quite erratic. None of the batsmen in the squad could consistently perform well. This is why the Pakistan team failed to qualify for the semi-finals.

Australia, India, New Zealand and South Africa qualified for the semi-finals. And these four teams are in great form right now. Apart from New Zealand, the performance of the other three teams is very consistent. Indian team played well and won every match. And if they continue like this, India will not lose a single match in this World Cup and will become champions. I consider India as the most favorite to win the world championship.

Tottenham have been the most consistent team this season. No one expected Tottenham to concede their first defeat of the season against Chelsea. But we have to admit that the Chelsea players have performed well in this match. And if Chelsea's players can continue with such performances, they can quickly move into the top 6 of the table. But Chelsea's main problem is that their performances are very erratic. This team suddenly performed well. They are not able to continue good performance consistently. Chelsea will play against Manchester City and Newcastle in their next two matches. I am eagerly waiting to see how Chelsea will perform in these two matches.
Tottenham suffered their first defeat at home against Chelsea, I think maybe because Tottenham found it difficult to organize a strategy because they were forced to play with 9 players because 2 of their players received red cards after that Chelsea bombarded Tottenham by breaking into their goal defense with 4 goals.

Chelsea's next match will host Manchester City. This will be quite an interesting match and maybe Chelsea will put up more resistance because Chelsea will have the advantage of playing at home, but you have to remember that Manchester City is not an easy opponent for Chelsea.

You are right. After receiving two red cards, the performance of Tottenham's players deteriorated drastically. However, there is no way to say that Tottenham played very well in the first half. After scoring the first goal of the match in just 6 minutes, the players of Tottenham could not do much better in the first half. Tattenham's tactical weakness was in this match. Also, it was very difficult to perform well with 9 players.

A win against Manchester City is very difficult for Chesley. Although Chelsea's performances have been erratic and weak, the team has had impressive performances against Arsenal and Tottenham this season. So I would say Chelsea has the potential to do well against Manchester City. Chelsea players are very confident now, especially after beating Tottenham by such a big margin.

Mind you that Chelsea are in tenth position and they have only 15 points from 11 games which is a poor return for a club like Chelsea, they have also won only 4 games in ths EPL this season. Spurs would never have lost that game, but they went two men down and had to play for over 40 minutes with just 9 players, they also had a couple of injuries to important players. I don't think Chelsea are resurgent, neither are they improving, and if their fans think they are flying right now, they'd be brought back to earth when they face City this Sunday.
However, Chelsea's victory at Spurs' home last week was undeniable luck and for any consistent team when faced with the situation of losing 2 players due to red cards, it would certainly be difficult to maintain their existing performance. Chelsea are still one of the worst teams this season and even though they managed to break into the top 10 of the standings, that won't be enough if they experience difficulties again in the next few matches. Pochettino must maintain the results obtained so far in order to be an additional value worth fighting for in the next match and if not it will be another lackluster result from Chelsea.
You could say that Chelsea success was just luck, I also see it that way and don't think that this victory will have an impact on their next match against Manchester City. Even though they will be playing at home, many doubt that Pochettino squad will be able to create a surprise by beating City. If luck will be on their side again that's a different story, but on paper I think Pep Guardiola squad deserves to be at the top.
Ups and downs in performance are a very natural thing, and Chelsea experienced difficult times when Pochettino took over as coach with more defeats. Chelsea have lost 18 points from 11 matches, and have a 12 point gap with City at the top of the standings. I assume they are just chasing tickets to the Europa League it seems, because that's the most realistic for now.
Chelsea got a very important win in this match against the team that is leading the table. I didn't expect that Tottenham is going to have the first loss against Chelsea. The score was exactly the opposite of what I expected. I thought Tottenham would win without any issues. They also started well. Was able to break the deadlock at 6th minute of the match. But after that, they lost composure. And they had to pay for it. It doesn't matter how good a team is. It is almost impossible for any team to win under such circumstances. That's what happened here with Tottenham.

Tottenham have been the most consistent team this season. No one expected Tottenham to concede their first defeat of the season against Chelsea. But we have to admit that the Chelsea players have performed well in this match. And if Chelsea's players can continue with such performances, they can quickly move into the top 6 of the table.

Checking the current situation of Galatasaray and Manchester United that's to say Galatasaray got a good chance to be the second team of this group going to the next stage because Manchester United is not in a good situation at all and they are not in a good form have beat a team like Galatasaray.
There are no better hopes for Manchester United in their current condition in the Champions League, because Galatasaray will continue to exert their abilities to get second place in the group standings to ensure they qualify for the next round. Moreover, Galatasaray is also quite aware that Manchester United's condition is not in good condition so Galatasaray will continue to take advantage of this in the next match because Galatasaray has the same number of points as Copenhagen in the current group standings.

Manchester United still have a chance to qualify for the knockout rounds if they win against Galatasaray. Kenna Copenhagen and Galatasaray got 4 points and Manchester United got 3 points. So the Manchester United team can go to the next round if they win the next two matches. But the problem is that Manchester United will play their last match against Bayern Munich. And now it is difficult for United to beat a strong team like Munich. This is why Galatasaray is now considered the favourite for second place in the table.

I think Bangladesh team will not need to take any more pressure with Champions Trophy game, because I think New Zealand team will win very easily today. I was a bit worried about the New Zealand team as they were losing continuously in the last four matches. Anyway my apprehension was cleared soon after the bowling innings of the New Zealand team.
If you are familiar with Bangladesh Cricket, you should not be this much confident. You never know if Bangladesh is going to be all out for 50 runs against australia if they batting first. You never know if Australia going to score 400 and Bangladesh may score less than hundred losing all wickets. If something like this happen in the next match, Sri Lanka is going to play the champions trophy and Bangladesh will have to watch it. As a Bangladeshi, I am pretty much worried about next match. Australian hero of the previous match is not going to play against Bangladesh. Still, I am not that much confident as like you  Embarrassed
Bangladesh is ahead in the current equation of playing Champions Trophy. I am talking about how Bangladesh is ahead in this equation.  If Bangladesh bats first and Bangladesh must bat for a minimum of 23 overs in the second innings, regardless of how many they collect.  If Australia wins in 23.1 overs, still Bangladesh will qualify for the Champions Trophy by being slightly ahead in terms of net run rate. On the other hand, if Bangladesh bats in the second innings and if Australia scores 400 runs in the first innings and if Bangladesh can score 190 runs, then Bangladesh will qualify for the Champions Trophy. Now the only hope will be that Bangladesh is not defeated by a huge margin against Australia. If the margin of victory is too big, the dream of playing the champion trophy of Bangladesh will end.
Bangladesh will never lose by a big margin against Australia. Bangladesh will perform very well in the game of Bangladesh vs Australia tomorrow and will remain in the Champions Trophy. I am a citizen of Bangladesh and always wish victory for Bangladesh. I hope Bangladesh come close to winning if not winning against Australia tomorrow. And if can perform well in both bowling and batting, then I will definitely beat Australia and win the match. I always pray for Bangladesh that Bangladesh can perform well.
Bangladesh vs Australia match is more important for Bangladesh. The equation that Bangladesh needs to match to play the championship. If Australia wins the toss and bats first. If Australia can score 360 runs, Bangladesh must bat later and score at least 200 runs. If Bangladesh bats first, they will be all out within 200 runs. Then Australia will have to play till 24 overs. I definitely want tomorrow's match if Bangladesh can't win at least I know they can score at least 250 runs. As a Bangladeshi cricket fan, I would like Bangladesh to win the match tomorrow. Best wishes for Bangladesh team. Let them batting and bowling very well in tomorrow's match.  Bangladesh can finally play the championship. This is the demand of crores of cricket fans in Bangladesh.

This match is not important for Australia. Because the Australian team is already securing the ticket to the semi-finals by gaining 12 points in 8 matches. But the match is very important for Bangladesh to qualify for Champions League. Although the Bangladesh team is not strong, this team often wins against big teams and this team shows surprise. This team has the capability against big teams. Because they have some talented players in their squad. However, probably Bangladesh's best player Shakib will be absent in this match due to injury. Without an important all-rounder like Shakib, it is difficult to predict how the Bangladesh team will play.

That's right, OP. BTC is not a risky asset and just fluctuates whether it is slow or fast. We will be educated and have a basic understanding of how it works if we pay attention.

Well, if we look at the strong growth in Bitcoin prices, currently there may be many investors, institutions who have the argument that the traditional currency is ready to face disruption. At least BTC is seen as a psychological support level but I strongly believe this is because Bitcoin is much more stable than altcoins and there are many other trading influences on the price.

These are all important points because the market is not always predictable.

Based on what factors do you say that bitcoin is not a risky asset? If you compare bitcoin with altcoins then bitcoin is much safer but if you compare it with gold and traditional assets then it is a risky asset. Bitcoin's growth is incredible but that doesn't mean it is a risk-free asset.

For bitcoin to become a safe haven, many factors are needed and I agree with what @retreat has mentioned, popularity, government acceptance, regulations...Bitcoin does not yet meet those criteria to be called a safe haven.
I am also interested in learning your reason for saying that Bitcoin is a risky asset. If you buy gold today or stock, you will not sell the next day, you will probably hold for years or until you see considerable profits. Can you do the same for Bitcoin and not make profit? People tend to use double standard for Bitcoin, they want quick profits from Bitcoin but when it come to other asset or investment instruments, they are patient.

I have checked the historic data of Bitcoin, within every five years, Bitcoin always give huge profits irrespective of the entry price. This is not what I consider as risky because the only risk is when sold at the wrong time. Those who bought at the peak of 2021 might still be in loss in terms of dollars but the Bitcoin quantity is still intact and hopefully before 2026, price might surpass their entry price and give them good profits. Even this is not guaranteed but the chances are high. I don't really see Bitcoin as too risky.


As I said, assets that bring high returns do not mean they are safe, do you remember the saying "the higher the return, the higher the risk"? The risk here we need to consider is the level of acceptance and popularity of bitcoin, not just talking about profits. We always say that bitcoin is very popular but how many stores have you seen accepting it, how many people know about bitcoin and are ready to accept it? As far as I know, less than 10% of the world's population invests in bitcoin, whereas if we talk about gold, you will see how much people like it.

You just have to look at the market capitalization of both and you will clearly see the difference: one asset is thousands of years old and is accepted worldwide anywhere and has a capitalization of almost 12k billion dollars. Meanwhile, bitcoin is only 500 billion USD and not many governments have legalized it. In your opinion, which is safer?

I am not sure about this. From what I heard, Mohammed Salah turned down a contract with Al Hilal a few months back? From what I heard, he was offered more than what Ronaldo is getting now, and still he was not interested. Now what happened all of a sudden? Is this news confirmed? Anyway they need him badly now. Neymar has been ruled out of this season after a lot of theatrics. Aleksandar Mitrović and Malcom are performing well, but they need someone like Salah to boost the attack.

I think there is no way around finding a replacement player for Salah because it is not about the if, but about then when in regards to a Salah transfer. He will leave the club at some point, but there are rumors that a club from Saudi Arabia offered him a contract with an empty field, so to say he was supposed to tell them how much he wants. Who knows whether that is the truth, but I believe that Salah could be a high interest target for them because he is also Muslim and I think he could become an iconic figure for the league because of the high level of mutual identification. So either way Liverpool has to be prepared for some significant change.

Honestly, the way he is getting big offers from Saudi clubs, I am not going to be surprised at all if he actually decides to accept one. And that can definitely happen. After all, they are professional footballers and they will be playing for money. It will not hurt a player like Mohammed Salah to choose money at this stage of his career. Liverpool has to find a substitution for him and they will have to do it quickly. The relationship between Liverpool and Mohammad Salah has been really good, but every good thing must come to an end in this world. And it will. The question is will be ready for that?

Today in Pune, England and Netherlands are facing each other. England won the toss and decided to bat. Last season's world champion England has shown the most disappointing performance in this tournament. After playing seven matches, they won only one against Bangladesh. Despite going to Sitka from the semi-finals, there is a fear of playing in the upcoming Champions Trophy. Meanwhile, the Netherlands are in the middle of a difficult equation in the run to the semi-finals with four points from seven matches. In that case Netherlands will have to win two matches depending on the loss of Pakistan, Afghanistan, New Zealand matches. The first innings batting average at this venue for today's match is 319 runs. Fast bowlers will have more advantage in this match. The fast bowlers have taken 77 wickets in the last six matches at this venue. So far England have taken 69 runs for a wicket and David Malan has already completed his half-century.
Even today we are not getting good performance from England batsmen. Netherlands bowlers are not experienced enough. However, the performance of England's batsmen is poor. While Malan and Stokes can play some big innings, we haven't seen responsible innings from any other batsman in the squad. England collected 229 runs losing 6 wickets in 42 overs. England's collection is now less than 5.5 per over. If Stokes can bat well in the death overs then the England team can give a target of more than 300. But looking at the batting of Stokes and Woakes at the crease now, I don't think England will be able to collect more than 300.

4 overs of power play are also over. At the end of 44 overs, the England team managed to collect 246 runs. And they didn't lose any more wickets. Woakes-Stokes duo has already scored 50+ runs. Stokes scored 58 runs off 63 balls and Wokes scored 31 runs off 33 balls unbeaten. It cannot be said for sure whether these two batsmen of England can collect 50+ runs in the last 5 overs. Stokes has the ability to collect more than 50 in the last 5 overs. But Stokes's batting is very slow today. It cannot be said that England will win the match yet. The match is likely to be competitive. Although the performances of the Netherlands batsmen have been erratic, they have several talented batsmen in their squad.

I'm so thrilled with your response, and in fact, you are one of a few who say the truth as it is, not one of many who are painting Bitcoin what it is not. I love to be sincere and try as much as possible never to mislead people, Bitcoin is a risk-on asset, not a risk-off asset, this is obvious with the way it behaves and I simply don't know how those who are claiming it to be a safe-haven asset can't see this.

Maybe they are turning blind eyes, but how truly can an innovation of fewer than 2 decades suddenly become a safe haven, something many still fail to accept and governments treading carefully in dealing with? Bitcoin is good and I appreciate the innovation a lot, but it would take centuries before it can assume the role of what many think of it, that's if it would attain it at all. If you compare Bitcoin with other risk-on markets, you would understand this better as they behave the same. I wonder why some people can't see this as proof of fact.

I am also a bitcoin investor and I really like it more than any other asset because of the returns it offers and its superior amenities. Bitcoin is truly a great innovation created for us. But we also need to remember one thing, we come here to seek profit, to seek what can bring good things to our lives. We are not here to worship or flatter anyone and then take unnecessary risks if something goes wrong. I prefer to live realistically to avoid trouble in life rather than live in illusion and possibly hurt myself at any time.

I also don't understand why people like to exaggerate bitcoin more than necessary, while that doesn't make bitcoin any better. Indeed, Bitcoin is really good but it is too early to confirm anything about it.

Can Afghanistan win against the Australian team today? Knowing Australia I think it is hard for them. Considering the overall performance today, it seems Australia has a upper edge against Afghanistan. They were able to restrict Afghans from going beyond 300 runs. For me that is a positive sign.
If Afganistan wants to win against Australia, they would have to get wickets before the first power play ends. The first 10 overs are critical as it helps the bowling side eliminate the top batters. The situation is similar as of Afghanistan are able to get a few wickets it would become a problem for the Australian batting.
Australia's chances of victory are slowly diminishing. They lost 4 important batsmen for just 49 runs. Azmatullah took two wickets in two balls. I didn't expect to see Australia batting badly in the power play. Maxwell and Labuschagne are batting now. If these two batsmen can survive at the crease, Australia still has a chance to win. But it is much more difficult. The average run of the teams in the second innings on this pitch of Wankhede Stadium is only 196 runs. This is why it is difficult for Australia to win by batting at a target of 292 runs. Moreover, Afghanistan's bowlers are bowling well today.
The Australian team is now in trouble. I never imagined that Australia's  top order would  collapse like this. In the last 5  matches we have seen great performances from Australian players. Especially  the batsmen  played very well. But today they can't stay at the crease against the Afghanistan bowlers. At the end of 12 overs, Australia collected only 61 runs, losing 4 wickets. If Maxwell and Labuschagne can't play big innings then Australia has no chance of winning. Australia has a slim chance of winning if these two batsmen score a century. But the match is now completely under the control of the Afghanistan bowlers.

Australia lost their fifth wicket. Labuschagne was run out at such a crucial moment. I didn't imagine they would play so stupid like that. Australia's batsmen should have batted more carefully. As they lost four wickets very quickly. The way Australia are batting now, it will be difficult for Australia to score 100 runs if Maxwell is out. Australia now collect 72/5. There is no chance of winning the match. Losing this match will make it more difficult for Australia to qualify for the semi-finals. They will play against Bangladesh in the last match. Although Bangladesh is not strong, it is not possible to make predictions about the performance of this team.

But it is much more difficult. The average run of the teams in the second innings on this pitch of Wankhede Stadium is only 196 runs. This is why it is difficult for Australia to win by batting at a target of 292 runs. Moreover, Afghanistan's bowlers are bowling well today.

That's right, OP. BTC is not a risky asset and just fluctuates whether it is slow or fast. We will be educated and have a basic understanding of how it works if we pay attention.

Well, if we look at the strong growth in Bitcoin prices, currently there may be many investors, institutions who have the argument that the traditional currency is ready to face disruption. At least BTC is seen as a psychological support level but I strongly believe this is because Bitcoin is much more stable than altcoins and there are many other trading influences on the price.

These are all important points because the market is not always predictable.

Based on what factors do you say that bitcoin is not a risky asset? If you compare bitcoin with altcoins then bitcoin is much safer but if you compare it with gold and traditional assets then it is a risky asset. Bitcoin's growth is incredible but that doesn't mean it is a risk-free asset.

For bitcoin to become a safe haven, many factors are needed and I agree with what @retreat has mentioned, popularity, government acceptance, regulations...Bitcoin does not yet meet those criteria to be called a safe haven.

At this time Bangladesh's Current Run Rate is really good they are at 7.0.  They have lost one wicket. And trying really to win this match and I hope that they will win the match.
Bangladesh played really well and I think that kind of performance the fans want form Bangladesh from start of this ICC competition but unfortunately Bangladesh performance were not up to the mark and that why they really disappoint this supporter. Anyway they done a good job tonight so we should appreciate them because everyone taught that sirilanka has strong balance team which has ability to got victory but Bangladesh captain and shanto phenomenal performance help Bangladesh to come out of this difficult situation later tale under batter played little bit aggressive innings and thus they won the important match.

Shakib and Shanto batted with a lot of confidence in today's match. The performance of these two batsmen really impressed me today. Both the batsmen batted very responsibly after losing the two openers in quick succession. And they were able to build a huge partnership of 169 runs. And because of this huge partnership, the Bangladesh team won. However, the performance of Bangladesh's middle-order players was poor. Bangladesh would not have lost 7 wickets if the middle-order players of Bangladesh could bat with more responsibility.
Taskin did not get a wicket today but he bowled brilliantly. On the other hand, Tanzid Shakib got 3 wickets but he gave 80 runs in 10 overs. The performance of the bowlers was quite controlled by Bangladesh today.

A blistering start by India went down the drain after Rohit's wicket. Indians were at 62 runs at just 5.5 overs when they lost Rohit and 90-ish when the power play ended but since then Gill-Rohit-Iyer added only 31 runs in the last 10 overs, some shitty anchor innings are going on from the Birthday boy Koach and Iyer.  

Yeah, Rabada and Maharaj did bowl some finest overs but both batters looking defensive, especially Iyer which is completely opposite of his own gameplay.

-----
Edit
They took their time but now back in business.

Indian players are batting well after winning the toss and deciding to bat. India collected 219 runs in 35 overs. The team scored 6.25 runs per over. Rohit Sharma is out after collecting 40 runs off 24 balls. Kohli remains unbeaten with 67 runs and Iyer 70 runs. And the way India are batting now, they will score at least 150 runs in the last 15 overs. Even collecting more than 150 is not surprising. Because Indian batsmen have this ability. Today India looks set to deliver more than 370 targets. But with the South African batsmen in great form, the match will be very competitive.

The victory that Man United got against Fulham meant a lot to them. Not only does it maintain their chances in the Premier League, but this victory can increase their morale and self-confidence. Indeed, it was not their best performance but still, it is good progress and a good way to leave the negative trend behind. They still have a lot of work to do if they want to get back into the title race because if they continue to play like this, it will likely be difficult for them to break into the top 4.
Bruno Fernandes has provided a temporary respite for Ten Hag, but this hard-fought victory doesn't change the bigger picture. While Ten Hag may still believe that his players are fully behind him, it's clear that their performance has been lackluster, with just a few fortunate wins to show. Competing for titles this season seems like an impossible task for Manchester United; a more realistic goal would be to maintain their current ranking and secure a spot in the Europa League for the next season.

Although Manchester United won this match, we have to say that their performance is still poor. And quite weak. They are not playing well. Manchester United were very lucky to win thanks to Bruno's last-minute goal. However, Fulham's overall gameplay was better than Manchester United's.
If we consider the last few matches of Manchester United, then it is well understood that the performance of Manchester United is quite weak. They failed to score against Manchester City and Newcastle. Manchester United conceded 6 goals in these two matches. Narrow 1-0 wins over Copenhagen and Fulham. I'm still very upset with Ten Hag's match strategy.
