It has been confirmed that David De Gea will be leaving Manchester United during this summer. He has served as an excellent player for Man United over the years. To be honest, the treatment he received from the club and their handling of the contract extension offer were quite shocking. This is definitely the end of an era, as De Gea is the final player who had the opportunity to play under Sir Alex Ferguson to leave both Old Trafford. It's disheartening to see his departure happening like this. Anyway I wish him good luck and hope will be happy wherever he heading.

I think the one very big advantage of the Baz-Ball strategy of England is that much less matches are going for draw now, even this match looks like a complete thriller if England can grab some quick wickets tomorrow and settle Aus below 200 this game might be in their pockets but anything above 250 will be a nightmare to chase on this track, to be honest even 250 is hard enough.
The Baz Ball is giving results but the fact is that it is not helping England win any matches against good teams and hence they wanted to find a reason to blame the failure by creating controversies  Cheesy.  

Rain has stopped the play right now and once the weather clears and if Australia is able to add 120 to 150 runs then they could win the match easily as they already have a 142 runs lead.
Yeah, and thanks to these controversies no one is talking about their failures or brain fade batting tactics. In fact, everyone supported them due to a wild meltdown.

280-ish does look like a winning total but with the Bazball, you never know. If it clicks then it would be an easy chase, otherwise we are looking at another collapse.


England experimented the bazball playing style and achieved success. They are a first-scoring team, and their strategy is hitting boundaries, that is, fours and sixes.

However, for this time, Australia has stepped in with a sensible approach, causing England's bazball tactics to fail miserably. Australia seems to be outsmarting their opponents.

Bangladesh vs Afghanistan, 2nd ODI match Afghanistan is doing great batting performance. The way Afghanistan batted today was really great. Bangladesh are not performing very well today due to which they have managed to take only one wicket so far. Afghanistan have done a good enough batting performance today with the way their run rate has increased, they are sure to win today. Already Afghanistan batsman Rahmanullah Gurbaz who has to be praised has collected 145 runs off 125 balls today. Big collection for Afghanistan if Bangladesh can't give good bowling performance then today Afghanistan will bat well in last minute. Another great batsman Ibrahim Zadran has done an amazing batting performance to score a century with 80 runs from 97 balls. Afghanistan's total score at the moment is 259 runs in 37.2 overs with 2 wickets.
Bangladesh played very badly in the first ODI against Afghanistan which was not expected. In the second match today, Afghanistan batted first and crossed 300 runs in 46 overs.  And they still have 4 overs to play and they have only lost 5 wickets so far so they still have a chance to collect more runs.  So Bangladesh is under much more pressure today. I expected Bangladesh to win the first match but they lost very badly and since Afghanistan are going to target Hughes runs in today's match, I don't think Bangladesh will win today's match.

Afghanistan performed very well and collected 331 runs. But opening batsmen Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zardan contributed the most among the 331 runs collected. Because the rest of the wickets were given away in a short period of time, Bangladesh should have kept Afghanistan under pressure by bowling first. Afghanistan and Bangladesh will be a very competitive match as Bangladesh will have to perform well to win this match. Bangladesh batsmen have to score good runs from the opening and be careful in protecting the wickets only then Bangladesh can win.
Afghanistan set a target of 331 for 9 to Bangladesh and it was really a great performance for Afghanistan. We believe that Bangladesh is a good team and expect much better from Bangladesh.  But Bangladesh's performance sometimes disappoints us which we have seen in the first matches so in today's match also I feel a lot of confusion that Bangladesh will be able to beat the target of 331 runs and present themselves as a strong team. Bangladesh start the game and they can take one run in the first 1 over lol
Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran put up an impressive display of batting, both scoring centuries to lead Afghanistan to a commanding total against Bangladesh. Now, Bangladesh faces the challenging task of chasing down 332 runs to survive in this ODI series. It certainly won't be an easy task, let's see if the Bangladeshi batsmen can chase down this big target. After brilliant batting performance by the Afghan team, it is now the bowlers' turn to shine and win the series.
update- Bangladesh have already lost their two batsmen Liton 13(15), Shanto 1(5).

The upcoming season of serie A will be challenging, particularly for Juventus. Juventus is a very good team that can perform every season to ensure that they perform in the champions league, but throughout the previous campaign, I'm not sure what exactly happened to the team. Their performance looked somehow subpar and they also dropped a point, which forced them to play in the Europa League. However, from what I can tell, Juventus is planning something positive for themselves, and their performance is going to be strong.
Even teams like Napoli, Inter Milan, Ac Milan, and Roma, in addition to Juventus, will play well next season in an effort to win trophies or make the champions league.
The upcoming Serie A season is expected to be challenging for Juventus. While their previous campaign was disappointing, they are determined to bounce back and perform strongly. However, they will face tough competition from teams like Napoli, Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Roma, who are all vying for trophies and Champions League qualification. The league promises to be highly competitive and exciting.
Juventus finished the 2022/23 season in 7th place in Serie A, and they will play in the Europa Conference League for the upcoming season. This season 2023/24 Serie A become competitive, with a fierce battle between the top 1 to 7 teams. This level of competition has made Serie A as one of the most contested leagues after the Premier League as per my think. Looking ahead to the 2023/24 season, it's going to be an exciting damn sure. Juventus have to work hard.

England is facing a disaster right now. They have already lost five wickets and they have still not reached 100. That is really bad for England. The only thing which is probably a positive for them right now is that they have Ben Stokes still in the middle. Ben Stokes and Moeen Ali are currently in the middle. They have to stay in the middle and make a big partnership. Otherwise, England is in big trouble right now. I did say that it is going to be hard for England to survive in the first session. That's exactly what has been happening. Australia has the situation absolutely under control right now.

What an incredible start to the match!

Australia's bowling has been absolutely outstanding. England have very little chance at the moment, and now all hope lies on the partnership between Ben Stokes and Moeen Ali. If they lose one more wicket, they will only have bowlers left to come out and bat.

I can see England reaching the 100-run mark, but they have a long way to go. Otherwise, it looks like a clean sweep for Australia!

it seems that Real Madrid has decided to choose to print talented players compared to having to buy old players who are already talented but have very high prices. TBH, I don't know the history of Arda Guler, but I'm trying to find out. It seems that Arda Guler is a potential player who has such good talent that Real Madrid has the courage to take the risk to sign this young player.
in terms of Mbappe and messi i wouldn't expect anything from these two players i'm just trying to get out of the endless drama it's better to see the future of Madrid with these new younger players.
just let Mbappe be like a rumor artist in this transfer session and I'm sure if there isn't clarity about Mbappe soon, PSG will regret it.
Real Madrid may benefit in the future from this player, maybe he will not be as Messi as predicted but if in a few years he can impress then the market price will increase, so if Real Madrid wants to let him go they will benefit from the sale.
Big clubs are used to bringing young players with the potential for the future to become their players, because the transfer value is still low and if the player can develop well then it will be very profitable for the club that recruited him when he was young, can make him a major player or sell him . Hopefully the expectations pinned on him are not too high so that it will become a burden and make it difficult for him to develop because we can see that so many young players fail when they enter the senior team.
Arda Güler has completed his medical examination as a new player for Real Madrid. Although he needs to gain some weight and build up his strength, he is undoubtedly a talented player! I'm really excited to see him in action. Hopefully, he will become the next Messi for Real Madrid as most of us continuous telling. Real Madrid has been consistently signing the best young players over the past season, and they continue to do so. They are gradually building an impressive team for both the present and the future. Real Madrid, keep up the excellent work and this move will bring them lots of benefits. Madrid is definitely a big stage for any young talent, and I choose to trust in this young player.

Sri Lanka winning all four of their matches so far, while West Indies have only managed to one win out of their four matches. Sri Lanka enters today's match as clear favorites, and hopefully their winning attitude continue throughout the World Cup qualification matches. One of the key reasons behind their success for their opening batsmen, had no problems chasing the target. Choosing to bowl first, Sri Lanka has already taken seven wickets of the West Indies team. It looks like Sri Lankan bowlers determine to bundle out West Indies to a low total.

Why the heck are England screwing themselves once again when the bowled so freaking well? Losing 3 wickets for just 68 runs is really bad and it will put a ton of pressure on the other batsmen.

Am expecting them to surpass the target and provide a small lead to Australia though since they still have plenty of proper batsmen left.
Probably, they tried not to be too defensive. All of them give catches to the keeper, first slip and second slip. Australia set three slip fielders, and fast bowlers were trying to bowl outside off-stamp, and England batters fell in their trap. In a test match, you don't have to play every ball. If you see a good ball, respect it and leave it when it's outside off-stamp. Especially when there are three slips set for you. All three catches were outside edge. Don't those batters understand why they set three slip fielders?

Looks like a pretty even test at the end of day one. It's great to see Australia managing to get three wickets down. Catches win matches, while the English batters made some costly errors and lost their wickets. England have short batting line-up, so it's going to be quite an interesting test match. Personally, I don't think we'll see it going all the way to day five. Now, the first hour of play today will be crucial.

But little confused have Saudi Pro League teams want to pay highest salary for goal keeper have been 45 years old, I don't think how impressive perform from Buffon due at the end years of his football professional career although for goals keeper not required more strong phisical.

For palying football in Saudi Arabia, I think Buffon's age is just a number there, because of his physical condition, compared to players who are 5 years younger than him, buffon may have better physique conditions. While in Europe and becoming a top European player, surely Buffon has a training and fitness portion that is very different from other players in Saudi Arabia. Perhaps the difference is the weather in Arabia with Europe which can be disturbing Buffon.
Saudi needs publicity, while age is just a number. Buffon has reportedly turned down the mega offer from Saudi Arabia and is expected to announce his retirement in the coming days. Personally, I didn't think he would choose to play there for several reasons, even for such a big amount of money involved. Hopefully, we'll have the opportunity to see him return in a coaching role at some point in the future.

Today it is a do or die battle for the two teams - Scotland and Netherlands. If Scotland wins the match, they will gain a slot for the ODI World Cup (to be held in India later this year). If Netherlands win the match, it will come down to the run rate. Scotland can still qualify if they lose to Netherlands by less than 31 runs, or with less than 6 overs to spare. Personally I want Scotland to win, as they have been exceptional so far in this tournament. Players like Chris Sole and Michael Leask have performed well beyond expectations.
Looks like this match will be very competitive. Scotland have won their last two matches against West Indies and Zimbabwe. On the other hand, the Netherlands players have performed well in the last few matches. The Netherlands is playing very well in today's match. The Netherlands won the toss and decided to field. Scotland collected 80 runs in 19 overs, losing 3 wickets. Scotland will not be able to beat the Netherlands if they give a target of less than 250 on such a pitch. But I think Scotland will be able to continue their winning streak.
Scotland lost the first three wickets very quickly. They lost three wickets for just 64 runs. But with the responsible batting of Brandon McMullan and Barrington, the team is slowly moving towards big collections. At the end of 35 overs, they managed to collect 179 runs. McMullan remained unbeaten with 94 runs and Brenrington 39 runs. If these two batsmen can stay at the crease for 42-43 overs, then Scotland will at least give a target of more than 280 today. And if the target is more than 250, Scotland's chances of victory will increase.

Scotland has been able to provide a target of 278 runs. Despite losing several wickets in the beginning, the team managed to collect 277 runs. I think this is a very good collection for them. Netherlands bowler Bas de Leede bowled brilliantly today. He took 5 wickets with 52 runs in 10 overs. , however, a target of 278 runs is enough to win if Scotland's bowlers are able to bowl well. The performance of Scotland's bowlers has been good in the last two matches. So it is expected that they will perform well today as well.
Bas de Leede produced an exceptional spell over Scotland in a crucial must-win game. Despite facing the challenge of losing wickets at regular intervals, McMullen's brilliant century and Richie Berrington's fine batting guided Scotland to set a target of 278 runs. This target quite decent for them to defend and confirm a well-deserved position in the World Cup. Advance congratulations to Scotland.

Brazil has officially announced that Carlo Ancelotti, the current Real Madrid manager, is going to take charge of Brazil from June 24, 2024. Carlo Ancelotti joins Brazil after a long wait Brazil have finally managed to sign Carlo Ancelotti. Brazil have been without a regular manager for a long time and we have seen the effect in the last few friendlies. Carlo Ancelotti is still almost a year away from taking charge of Brazil. I hope that Carlo Ancelotti will be able to bring the Brazilian team back to its former state after taking charge of Brazil.
I hope so too because since the time of Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and the rest of them, Brazil national team have struggled to keep their name at the top of rankings despite enjoying a good reign during the old era. I really Ancelotti is the man to bring transformation and a change to their recent records. The fact that he is already acquainted to some of the Brazilian players makes it easier to understand and work with the team and he does not need too long time to know the players.
This is expected change from Brazilian soccer federation because after Qatar failure things were badly demanding for a change and good thing happened they accept this all and now have required person as in-charge even their first choice was Zidane but after his rejection now they have veteran Carlos Ancelotti which is also having good career and many big achievements in his career most chances now Brazilian soccer will have good chance for their future as well and things will be on target for the next world cup which is going to play in North America in 2026.

Brazil won last world cup in 2002 which is surely long time now, and they need to be had something as it's never been good to stay without trophy for long time this is first national duty for the Carlos Ancelotti which is big test for him as well with most chances he will be able to bring required changes in this wonder team.
Brazil could have hired a European manager long ago if they wanted but they had a misconception that they would not share their team's secret with anyone from outside the country to be a team manager he must be Brazilian but after a long failure they realized with the Europeans.  
In order to compete, they have to play European style and in that case they definitely need a European manager. Brazil has appointed Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti as the manager of Brazil. Brazil's dream of winning the Mission Hexa may be achieved through Carlo Ancelotti.
It's a great move by Brazil to hire a European manager. It really demonstrates their determination in Brazilian football. Carlo Ancelotti is known for his consistent success in every league he has worked in, so we hope it'll continue further. Ancelotti as a manager, Brazil has set their target on winning the World Cup in 2026, and it's thinkable. After a period of disappointment performance in World Cup stage, let's hope that Brazil can regain their winning form in the next World Cup.

Tamim Iqbal's retirement announcement

There is a rumor that Tamim Iqbal has confirmed to the Bangladeshi media that he will not play ODI cricket again and that the first ODI match against Afghanistan was the last match of his career. This matter is very surprising to me because before the retirement of a player, various news media broadcast news about his retirement, in this case he takes the decision to retire suddenly. It is not yet clear why he suddenly took such a decision. He was injured for a long time and lastly he won the series against Ireland so why Tamim Iqbal took such a decision before finishing the series against Afghanistan. Several action-oriented news media and journalists in Bangladesh have confirmed this fact of Tamim.
Tamim Iqbal is regarded was the best opener in the history of Bangladesh cricket. but, timely great decision from International Cricket? There's a lot of controversy, and I prefer don't like go details. However, it is undeniable that Tamim Iqbal is expected to play a crucial role for Bangladesh in both the Asia Cup and the World Cup. Due to lack of connectivity and healthy atmosphere between Captain Tamim Iqbal and head coach Hathurusingha may lead this decision. Lot of rumors are circulating about their relationship, which turn out unhealthy. Such an unhealthy situation may have influenced the decision-making process regarding Tamim's future. Tamim has chosen to retire with dignity and respect. Furthermore, if he believes that he has nothing more to offer to the team, then he certainly has the right to make this decision.

Maybe PSG believe in Enrique more than Galtier as they have signed a two-year contract with him. But in case of having a similar season I don't know how PSG chairman would react to that. One thing is certain that Enrique will need to take his time until applying his strategies and formation without any difficulties.

Because he will bring a much more different approach here. PSG have been playing a really fast game so far but now that is likely to change. Enrique might want to have a similar understading with PSG just as he had at Barcelona in those successful years.
We'll see if the team improves in performance owing to the loss of some key players or if they improve with the newly formed squad next season. PSG does not favor any coach unequally; all the Parisians want is a coach who can lead the club to greatness. The president of PSG, Al-Khelaifi Nasser, has yet to achieve his goal of winning the UEFA Champions League. He had the best trio previous season, but winning it was even more difficult. However, the Parisians are eager to see what the new boss in charge has to give. Luis Enrique has been entrusted with PSG's ultimate goals; let's see where they go from here.
The fact that the most famous star in the world once played for PSG is the main reason behind their lack of improvement in their game. Because the three big stars playing in the same club, the three considered themselves better than each other and there was an ego working between them which resulted in a bad relationship between the players in everything from passing the ball to other things, which is basically why PSG spent so much money. I did not get any success. At the moment psg has formed new squad for the new season where Messi and some other players have already been left out of the squad. PSG has now appointed a good quality coach in their team. Hopefully, with the right guidance of Luis Enrique, PSG will achieve success with the new team.
The clubs have to let go of certain players and replace them with players with hunger, particularly when it comes to competing in European matches. I can already witness the positive changes happening. PSG has made a wise decision by choosing Enrique, who has a legacy, experience, and strong leadership qualities. However, it is necessary for the PSG boss to keep patience and avoid making quick decisions. Lets say if Enrique fails to win the Champions League next season, it would be better to exhibit patience and give him more time to achieve success. Congratulations to the man full of football experience, and wish him good-luck.

How do you handle a team like Bangladesh finishing their first innings with just 163 runs in 43 overs? Seven overs were shortened due to rain but I don't think just 163 in 43 overs is a good score against a team like Afghanistan. Many people are optimistic about the current team of Bangladesh in the upcoming World Cup. But if Bangladesh becomes such a failure in batting in such a preparatory match before the World Cup, then the trust that people have built in this team will be broken.
The batsmen of Bangladesh could not stand in front of the whirlwind of Rashid Khan and Mujibur Rahman. In a short time, Afghanistan will go into bat to chase the target of 164 runs given by Bangladesh. Afghanistan will win this match by a big margin.

Bangladesh have faced Afghanistan in an ODI match after almost a long time. But today, Bangladesh came after seeing a very bad performance on the first day. Bangladesh lost 4 wickets before completing 104 runs, this kind of game is not enough for an ODI match, but such a bad performance in their own home ground is never expected from Bangladesh. Especially Tawhid Hridoy collected 51 runs which is the highest run score by Bangladesh players. In a unique match, Nazmul Hasan Shanto and many others performed very well, but all of them had to leave the field in a short run while facing Afghanistan. Meanwhile, Afghanistan is showing a very good performance as the first opening batsman fell 1 wicket for 55 runs. If the bowling performance of Bangladesh can improve a little bit, Afghanistan will definitely be able to arrest the victory.

Afghanistan bowlers put up a great performance and restricted Bangladesh just only 169 runs. Hridoy was the only shining star for Bangladesh, as no batters were able to make any impact with their bats. Bad news is rain interrupted the match and DLS target for Afghanistan set at 164 runs. Before the rain performing, Afghan batters on fire with their bats. It looks like an easy win for Afghanistan. I feel disappointed with the Bangladeshi bowlers, as they failed to make any significant role in this match. Bangladesh's performance in the first ODI turn out extremely poor.

I think, it looks like Arsenal cannot fully guarantee to be able to bring in Declan Rice. Because anyway, so far Declan Rice is also still at West Ham and thus, then of course so far there is no team that can bring Declan Rice and may still be constrained by a price that is too high. Also, although Arsenal have managed to bring in Kai Havertz, but I personally am still not entirely sure for Arsenal's performance next season. Especially for the competition in the top four zone and also in the title race, I personally feel Arsneal will still be difficult to be consistent in that competition.
Eventually Arsenal sign Declan Rice. Numerous reports have claimed that Arsenal managed to get their man for a record-breaking fee for a British player. The deal between Arsenal and West Ham United, has been finalized for 105 million. This addition make a big boost for Arsenal. While it would be guarantee that Rice's signing alone will transform Arsenal into an unstoppable force in the next season. I'm optimistic and hopefully that Arsenal's approach will change and don't repeat the same mistakes they made 2022/23.

Mason Mount's transfer to Manchester United is confirmed. The transfer fee involved is said to be quite big, leading to some debate. Only reason behind this transfer seems to be the trust that Manchester United has placed in their manager, Ten Hag! Mason Mount is a decent player with a good attitude, and it's turn out that Manchester United has faith in Mount's abilities. though critics have doubts if he can make on the pitch. Nevertheless, as Mount is now Red, wish him success in this new chapter in his career. Now he will have an opportunity to prove himself at Manchester United and demonstrate his true worth.

I wonder what options Paris Saint Germain will offer this time to keep Mbappe agreed to a contract extension. I can't imagine how PSG will be without Mbappe, let alone one of their stars Lionel Messi officially leaving the club this season and that will make the Paris Saint Germain team even more worried.
There will be no offer. the decision gonna be on mbappe itself. PSG is not willing to lose a lot of money by let him go with free agent. The only best way to find a buyer for mbappe that can afford to pay 1/4 billion for him.
This is the most difficult task but PSG has no choice other than try to offer him for another club that has very big amounts of money.

Im thinking that if real madrid can't even afford such price. It may be different when it came to the english premier league like newcastle which has owned by PIF.
The problem if newcastle has no interest to sign mbappe at this moment. It's likely mbappe gonna stay and PSG will suffer huge lose caused by unable to sell him during the transfer season.

Newcastle turn out a surprise team this season considering the squad they have. It's interesting to see how they're performing without big-name names. I'm hopeful that Newcastle will be able to achieve top-notch talents like Mbappe in their squad. In the EPL, every club is looking for him, but Newcastle might have an advantage in this race. I believe Newcastle would like to invest 300 million or more to confirm a player of Mbappe's. While Newcastle already have good depth players, they would benefit from adding two or more world-class players like Mbappe to their lineup. However, Mbappe himself has expressed a strong desire to play for Real Madrid. It remains to be seen whether he will reject all other possibilities and maintain his same focus on joining Madrid.

Bangladesh VS Afghanistan 1st ODI

Bangladesh toured Afghanistan to play a series of three ODIs and two T20 matches. Afghanistan will take on Bangladesh in the first match of the three-match ODI series today at 2 pm at the Zahoor Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong. This is the last bilateral series between the two teams before the ODI World Cup. Bangladesh's best XI can be seen against Afghanistan in the first match without any injury problem. Shakib Al Hasan was out of the field for quite some time due to a finger injury against Ireland. He is now injury free and will be seen in the field against Afghanistan.
Also, Taskin Ahmed will be available in this match to strengthen the team's fast bowling unit.
Bangladesh bat first, and in the beginning Bangladesh are starting the game tactically and Bangladesh are not trying to score big runs yet they are trying to continue the game by saving wickets Bangladesh have played just 4 overs and scored only 19 runs but I have one faith in Bangladesh that  They will play very well and at least target Afghanistan with 350+ runs.  But I doubt whether Afghanistan will be able to meet this target. so no matter how Bangladesh plays, I think Afghanistan will face a lot of challenges
Bangladesh team now come to bat. 30 runs in 7 overs. So far Bangladesh lost 1 wicket. I don't know whether Bangladesh can score 350 runs today. I can't trust Bangladesh team because I have seen before Bangladesh very much.  Losing very badly in easy matches. Today if Bangladesh can bat first and score good runs then there will be some hope of winning the match. Afghanistan has started performing very well in the bowling line. Bangladesh batsmen are under some pressure now. Tamim Iqbal 21 balls  Got out for 13 runs. I think Tamim Iqbal batted very poorly.
ops Weakness is showing in Bangladesh's game You are right that Bangladesh often lose easy matches too. But I don't expect Bangladesh to lose. It is hard to accept that Tamim Iqbal was out for just 13 runs. Liton Das has been playing as poorly as Tamim Iqbal as he has scored just 15 runs off 30 balls. shanto on the other hand is playing a bit better. But I am still not disappointed with Bangladesh, I still believe that Bangladesh can score above 300 runs. So let's see how much Bangladesh can score and beat Afghanistan
Against Bangladesh, Afghanistan won the toss and decided to field first. So far 12 overs have been played where Bangladesh have collected 65 runs for 2 wickets. Afghan spinner Mujibur Rahman took the wicket of Liton Das early in the 12th over. So far the decision to win the toss and field seems to be effective enough for Afghanistan. Bangladesh batsmen are now under considerable pressure to pick up two valuable early wickets.  
Bangladesh need a good partnership for the third wicket pair. If Shakib Al Hasan and Nazmul Hasan Shanto can form a good partnership, Bangladesh's score will be high. But Afghanistan will want to get Nazmul Hossain Shanto and Shakib Al Hasan out quickly.
Bangladesh 84/3, 15.1 overs!
It's raining in Chattogram, and as a result, the game has been delayed. Bangladesh has lost three key players Tamim, Liton, and Shanto. For a healthy total, Shakib Al Hasan and Hridoy need to manage a solid partnership. However, they are facing a challenge due to the inconsistent bounce on the pitch, which is causing trouble for the batters. Bangladesh batters must be careful about their wickets and playing safe for getting a respectable total. Let's hope that the weather clears up soon so game can resume.
1079  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will the altcoin go up in price if the bitcoin price goes up? on: July 05, 2023, 04:25:14 AM
I'm bullish on Bitcoin, but I hold an optimistic view on altcoins. Whenever Bitcoin shows an upward trend, altcoins tend to follow it. Since Bitcoin holds a dominant position in the market, when people witness its success, they perceive the overall cryptocurrency market will follow it and invest more in altcoins. The value of altcoins is closely tied of Bitcoin, and this correlation makes sense to me. This concept has been well-explained multiple times here though.

It's a heartbreak for Zimbabwe as they find themselves knocked out of the 2023 World Cup. Their dreams of making it to the main stage of the World Cup failed because of their two defeats. Zimbabwe played superb throughout the first half of the competition, leaving their fans hopeful and excited. However, in a must-win game, they failed, unable to get the victory over Scotland. It is such a disappointing turn of events for a team that had showcased such promise. Credit goes to Scotland for their impressive bowling display which that made all the difference.
