Sri Lanka are bowled out for 312.
Despite a challenging start at 54/4, they have made an impressive comeback. A special thanks goes to Silva for his outstanding century, which played a crucial role in helping Sri Lanka reach the 300 plus run marks. Considering the conditions in the first innings, score 300 or more is considered a positive achievement. Pakistani bowlers, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Abrar Ahmed, each shared three wickets. As the match progresses to day 3, it is expected that the ball will spin more, which adding another dimension to the game. The match is still wide open though.

Afghanistan's performance today is going down the drain as the loss of two wickets is sad news in the power play. But today's bowling performance must be mentioned Bangladesh's bowling Taskin Ahmed, he has shown today's performance which has made a place in the minds of the audience. The game is suspended only because of rain. Afghanistan can collect 130 runs if they continue to collect runs like this. Wicket pressure engulfed Afghanistan. However, Hasan Mahmood bowled two overs and conceded only four runs. Bangladesh's performance is expected to be better as there will be a strong form in batting as well.
Afghanistan are under a lot of pressure in today's series as they lost 2 wickets at the start. Had Afghanistan held on to their wickets early on, they would have had a chance of increasing their runs. However, the match is still suspended due to rain and if the rain clears, the match will be reduced to overs under the DLS method. But in today's match Bangladesh bowling performance is great especially Taskin Ahmed already he has taken 2 wickets. But I think if Afghanistan batsman can perform well after rain then can collect good score. And if Bangladesh can provide better bowling supply, Afghanistan will come under a lot of pressure. at the moment, Afghanistan could not collect many runs. Today, if Afghanistan scores 150 runs, then there will be hope of victory. And Bangladesh, if they perform as they have won in the last match, Bangladesh's victory will be assured in today's match as well. Bangladesh's decision to bowl first after winning the toss turn out working well, as their bowlers have been in control of the game so far. Taskin Ahmed made an impact by taking 2 important wickets. However, there was a rain interruption, and now the match will be played for 17 overs (DLS) method. At the moment few balls left, it's quite challenging for the Afghan batters to reach 150 runs. I'm looking 120 runs after playing 17 overs. |

First test between Pakistan and Srilanka will start in a while at Galle. Srilanka won the toss and elected to bat first. Pakistan had a terrible test record last year while Srilanka had much better recern test record compared to Pakistan. Last time these teams meet at Galle in July 2022 and Sri Lanka won that match by 246 runs. Pakistan a desperate test series win to improve there test ranking.
Pakistan really wants to win the Test series, and their recent stats demonstrate why they're hungry to win. They must focus on improving their performance in red ball cricket because they had a terrible test record last year. Now, they are facing Sri Lanka in Galle, and we'll see if the stats remain the same or this times around new journey begins for them. |

Inter Miami owner Jorge Mas has announced that Messi will make his MLS debut on July 21. According to this statement, if there is no surprise development, under normal conditions, Messi will play his first match next week.
MLS will not be one of the best leagues in the world because Messi has transferred to MLS, but just like Ronaldo's influence in Saudi Arabia, this league will become more visible than before thanks to Messi's transfer. As a matter of fact, I read on the news that Miami match tickets, with prices ranging from $800 to $3,500, have already been sold. It is not difficult to predict that the interest in Messi will be high in America.
in my opinion messi going to this league is not going to change anything, in the past david beckam also went to this league as other good players did and nothing has changed in terms of popularity and that has a reason: they don't invest much in marketing, it is very different from the case of the saudi arabia league, the arabs knew that cristiano ronaldo is a very popular player, just look at the number of followers he has on instagram, with the signing of cristiano ronaldo Al-Nassr had a huge increase in followers in a few hours and all tv channels were talking about cristiano ronaldo going to Al-Nassr but messi has always been a very reserved player in terms of fame, so going to that league he doesn't get much attention in that league, we can see that even in this thread, that even people seeing that messi went to this league nobody is posting in this thread , few news channels talk about messi's team, so in my opinion messi will be forgotten in a short time, probably in 1 year people won't talk about him anymore, I believe he knows that and that's what he wants when he goes to play in this league I'm not completely sure, but it's still a point. He’s achieved everything. So, he doesn't really need to prove anything. Hopefully he elevates MLS. There's talk about other international players following him at some point, and joining the league because of him. He could become an inspiration for many Americans to play football. He made a decision to leave Europe so that he can have some fun and spend quality time with his family. It's possible that his main priority is to be with his family and represent his national team in the upcoming Copa tournament. Don't know others, but I'm planning to watch MLS. MLS have Lionel Messi, and I'm sure this time around it'll be quite interesting journey. |

With such team no track would favour West Indies. West Indies scored 280 runs in both innings while there 8 bowlers were not able to pick wickets or stop runs. Really pathetic performance from West Indies side in this test.
West Indies team faced a tough challenge against India. It's clear that this West Indies team would have struggled against any teams. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja were enough to bowl out West Indies team.
It was an impressive performance by the Indian side, particularly their spin duo. Ashwin bowled exceptionally well, taking 12 wickets in his 45 overs. This is also part of ICC Test championship and India will definitely start with 2 wins.
A big congratulations to Team India on this well-deserved win. Remember, a win is always worth celebrating, regardless of the circumstances. |

Bangladesh were under a lot of pressure heading into the last as the fall of wickets almost engulfed Bangladesh. As luck would have it, Towhid Hridyo Hridyo did not allow Hridyo to make it to a half-century that was struck by Shariful Islam for a boundary. If Tauhid could have taken heart from these four runs, he would have taken the place of the half-century. This was the first T20 match Bangladesh won but it was a very competitive match. However, if Roni Talukder and Nazmul Hasan Shanto could have collected some more runs, then Bangladesh would not have to face so much pressure towards the last over. Meanwhile, Afghanistan put in a very good bowling performance to clinch their win.
Batting in the first innings, Afghanistan scored a good run which made it difficult for Bangladesh to win. However, when Bangladesh started batting, they were scoring good runs in the early stages but after the fall of wickets, Bangladesh were under some pressure. Towhid Hridoy Bangladesh batsman showed good batting performance but his target of half century was not met. Bangladesh could have easily won the match if they could have scored a little better earlier. They scored good runs in the early stages but were embarrassed in the last minute. Whereas Afghanistan bowler Karim Janat bowled brilliantly and picked up three wickets which weakened the Bangladesh team. But in the last minute, Bangladesh managed to win by 2 wickets. It was really interesting that Shoriful Islam's boundary off the bat won the match after Bangladesh batsman Nasum Ahmed was dismissed at the last minute. The match was already in Afghanistan's favor during the first half of the second innings, but they didn't take the advantage of that. While, Bangladesh deserved this victory due to the exceptional performance of their middle-order. The partnership of 73 runs between Towhid Hridoy and Shamim Hossain played an important role to get the win. In the 20th over, Karim Janat nearly clinched the match with a hat-trick, but Shoriful Islam's boundary in the last over turned the tables and helped Bangladesh win first T20I in last over drama. Congratulations to Bangladesh team. |

XRP wins  This is why asked the question - 80% pump in a few hours. Will take Bitcoin days or months to see that type of gain. I am surprised it has not pumped more though I will continue to hold and when it gets to a price I am comfortable with will put a lot of the profits into Bitcoin. If you've been holding, it might be worth waiting until it reaches its peak and then selling to make a profit that makes you feel comfortable. One dollar that's what everyone wish for. I'm not sure if xrp will reach that price, but I'll definitely keep an eye on it. Personally, I missed out on the opportunity with xrp, so now I'm just interested in peoples FOMO now. |

Even though Real Madrid have already got Joselu, he was only on loan for one season from Espanyol and next year requires Real Madrid to hunt for another striker if this summer they don't get a striker. Mbappe and Osimhen are the right choices but until now there has been no clear offer for these two players.
Tchouameni and Courtois seem to have attracted interest from some of Europe's top clubs and it is unlikely that Real Madrid will ever let go of the player despite being paid such a hefty sum. We know Real Madrid is not a team with bad finances and they can still sign a player like Bellingham this summer.
Since Mbappe refused to extend his contract with PSG and since the club president Al Khalifi said it clearly that Mbappe has to renew the contract or leave the club in two weeks then I assume Mbappe will join Real Madrid by the end of the transfer window. At worst he will be sanctioned and will be in the benches the next season so he might accept to leave in the winter transfer window. Real Madrid has to find a temporary solution only concerning that spot. This is a self-created problem. PSG is currently behaving like a club who's above the players. It's a bit concerning, as they are the ones responsible for creating this situation. I'm not sure if PSG will truly benefit from selling him at the end of this transfer game. I hope for a speedy solution to this issue and wish that Real Madrid can assemble a strong team around him. |

In the first T20I match BANvsAFG, Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bowl first. Out of the eight T20Is played at this venue, teams that have chased the target have won seven times. Therefore, by choosing to bowl first after winning the toss, Bangladesh has a clear advantage at this moment and a higher chance of winning today's match.
Afghanistan are 53/4 after 8 overs of playing.

India's opening batting was excellent. Both scored centuries, Rohit Sharma was out on 103, Yashasvi Jaiswal unbeaten on 143. So far India has given a lead of 162 runs Day 2 Stumps. India still have enough wickets in hand if India leads by 250+ runs, it seems that West Indies will not be able to take the team and will lose. Because in the first innings, West Indies were all out for only 150 runs. Let's see how many runs India can lead.
LOL.. it will take a miracle from West Indies to restrict India's lead to just 250. Remember that they are leading by 162 runs with 8 wickets in hand. And in case West Indies want to restrict India's lead to 250 runs, then they need to take all the remaining wickets for just 88 runs. I would say that it is an impossible task, given the fact that India has a strong middle and lower order. Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja, Ishan Kishan, Ravichandran Ashwin and Shardul Thakur are yet to bat. My guess is that India will get to a lead of at least 500 runs. At the end of Day 2, India are 312 runs for the loss of 2 wickets. They enter Day 3 with a lead of 162 runs and still have 8 wickets in hand. The batting performance by the Indian players has been quite slow in recent times, which is disappointing. We're expecting them to score at a faster runs. Anyway, they are now nearly 200 runs ahead with 3 days remaining in the game. If they manage to add another 250 runs tomorrow, they can put West Indies under pressure and then quickly wrap up their innings within Day 4. The way Kohli is batting, he can score century tomorrow. Yashasvi Jaiswal has also been impressive throughout the innings, and he is on track to get a double century as well. |

Well this is very good news for investors that hodl XRP tokens. We are seeing profits of 70% from yesterday after the judge ordered Ripple is not a security. Profits went as high as 96% after the court decision was made.
But we must understand that the law suit is not over. It is still a big victory for Ripple against the sec and for all crypto community. I think we will see more gains for xrp this week.
It is highly possible that SEC will take this matter to an appellate court and challenge some or all of the decisions made. While it may like a win and celebrating, there are still several things need to clear. During this process, it's very possible we will see surge in activity. XRP has already experienced a significant increase of nearly 100 percent. Now, XRP has the opportunity to soar even higher and maybe surpassing the one-dollar mark. |

I also see that the NFTs hype is coming to an end. People are starting to question what's the point of them buying an NFT? Honestly I used to see NFTs as a place where the super rich spend their money.
Justin Bieber spent more than $1.3 million on NFTs last year. Currently, the value of that NFTs is around $59,000. It says all. The people who will make real profits are the ones who bought them at a low price before they became popular and sold them when the prices were high. Now NFTs become a joke to me, and it makes sense why their value is crashing. Junk items. |

I do not understand why the Indian team is playing test cricket against WI. The WI team is in such bad shape that it is worthless to even play against them. All I am able to foresee is that the ongoing series will only help India's ranking on the ICC table. I am not going to see the test match as I know India would easily win the match. BCCI should have canceled this bilateral and any in the future until the WI side is good enough to play against India.
This test series is so boring! What has happened to the West Indies cricket team? It looks like an expired team. This poor batting by West Indies is much expected from this current team which is in such bad shape. They no longer have good enough players to give a challenge to any opposition. This match doesn’t even make sense. West Indies has failed to perform against better teams. |

Bangladesh Women VS India women
In the end India Women managed to score 102 runs in 20 overs losing 9 wickets. Indian woman batting did not do well today. Bangladesh women bowled brilliantly, Rabeya Khan bowled brilliantly and took 3 wickets. 102 run off just 120 balls today which is very easy in T20 format. But it seems very difficult for Bangladesh to score 102 runs. We saw in the second match that Bangladesh managed to score 87 runs after going into bat against a target of 96 runs. Today, Bangladesh Women came down to bat in a target of 102 and scored 46 runs by taking 2 wickets in 10 overs. Bangladesh Women need 57 runs from 60 balls. If these two batsmen Sharmin Sultana and Nigar Sultana can maintain their partnership then there is definitely a possibility of victory for Bangladesh today. But Nigar Sultana is already out which is a big bad news for Bangladesh. Bangladesh must be able to meet this target of 102 runs given by India as Bangladesh's wicket fall is under control. There is enough opportunity for Bangladesh, now the victory of Bangladesh depends on the current pair of Sharmin Sultana and Swarna Akhtar. Because if some runs can be collected then there will be less pressure on the next batsmen. Batting performance quite disappointing from Indian women's. They struggled to score runs and failed to rotate the strike effectively on slow pitches, which ultimately cost them the match. This loss should serve as a wake-up call for a good team like India. Shamima Sultana played well and led Bangladesh to a consolation win in the three match T20I series. Despite this loss, Indian Women's win the T20 series. Congrats to Indian Women. |

In my humble opinion, it would be much better for Bayern Munich if Sadio Mane and Harry Kane formed an attacking link, but if there is a question of choosing between these two players, then I think Kane would be a much better option. But I still think that the management of Bayern Munich should still give a chance to prove themselves this season.
Harry Kane and Sadio Mané would form a good pair, only that we should expect arguments between them. Sadio Mané was a fantastic player at Liverpool, even at Allianz Arena, but everything changed when he was injured; he could barely engage in activities, and returning to peak form was unsolvable otherwise. The Bayern board has no intention of retaining Sadio Mane at the club; they wish to sell the Senegal international, most likely next season, because he is extremely violent and has been involved in multiple physical fights with his teammates, including injuring Leroy Sané. Last summer, Klopp expressed his desire for Sadio Mané to remain at Liverpool. However, despite the coach's wishes, Mané insisted on leaving. Now the situation has taken a turn for him as he has become a burden for Bayern Munich, who no longer want his services from next season. This change in attitude towards Mané likely started from an incident involving Sané. The club also want him to leave, because of the financial burden of his salary. It's sad to see Mane being treated in this way, anyway Senegal people must offer him wise counsel during this challenging time. |

West Ham are getting frustrated due to the delay in Declan Rice's transfer to Arsenal. Despite reaching an agreement eight days ago, the necessary documents have not been signed yet. This has left West Ham feeling impatient and wondering what could be causing this delay in completing the documents. Is there any possibilities of Arsenal walking away from the deal, somehow they might have realized they are overpaying for a player who only has one year left on his contract.
In situations like these, it would be good to stay patient and keep an eye on any updates regarding the transfer, while I am also growing frustrated everyday.

Nice achievement from Manchester United on pre season match against Leeds United 2-0, two Manchester United's goals scored by young player Noam Emeran on 67th minutes and another goals contribution from Joe Hugill on 81th minutes. Its seems excited with Mason Mount make debut with Manchester United although as pre season match and Eric Tan Hag try to give position as attacking midfielder. Based on Manchester United starting eleven on pre season match against Leeds United dominance by young player, but first half still have several senior player from Lisandro Martinez, Varane and Wan-Bissaka.
How possibilities with several young Manchester United will fill in the main squad next season? in first pre season match looks Eric Tan Hag trust with many young player and will they get chance promotion to main squad?
Mount made his debut, and let me say, he did a fantastic job introducing himself to the Manchester United team. He showcased his exceptional skills in his recovery, running into open spaces to receive passes, and providing support to both the defense and attack. The team's dominance have demonstrated, i mean young player doing it in style. Specially mention the brilliant performances from young players like Emeran and Fish. Personally, I'm optimistic and believe that Manchester United will have a successful season ahead. |

Well, Mason Mount will wear renowned number 7 shirt for Manchester United. Whenever I see this number on the team's vibrant jerseys, CR7 naturally comes to mind. This iconic number holds a special and should be delivered to a player who has a proven track record and an absolute star on the field. Yes, Mount is talented player, but has not reached the level to earn it. It would be good idea to keep the jersey number unassigned until a truly deserving comes. Anyway, I wish him a fantastic season with Manchester United!

I'm really finding it difficult to believe that Mbappe is still not interested in staying at PSG knowing how much they (PSG board of directors) are ready to splash on him in terms of salary to be paid. After making those comments during the Interview last week I just feel that things between Mbappe and the fans ain't going to be the same again. I'd let him have a taste of what Messi and Neymar Jr went through from the fans, how they boobed those players without considering how they (Messi and Neymar Jr) feel or how they are ready to play and win trophies for the PSG side. But it's clear that Mbappe don't want to play or stay at the club again. My question is, what kind of reception is Mbappe going to receive from the fans?
Mbappe is wanna trying to get more achievement. Staying in PSG mean if his career is gonna stuck at the same place. There's no choice for him than leave from the club to join in a better club like real madrid. No guarantee if PSG will able to win UCL. PSG could not even do that with messi. Based on my assessment, it would be wise for Mbappe to leave PSG and join another club. There is also another club that can offer him good salary. PSG is not the only richest club in the european football. So many EPL clubs are also putting their eyes on mbappe too. The competition to get mbappe gonna be harder than what already speculated by real madrid. We're really getting fed up with all the problems Kylian Mbappe's issues. Honestly, it seems like he could be sold for a much lower price considering he only has one year left on his contract. The club doesn't want to risk losing him for free next season, but they can't force him to stay either. I personally believe he'll end up leaving for about half of his current value. |
