Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]
In this match, I cannot see much difference between the two teams, because both teams are very famous teams in the cricket world. However, I can see a positive point for the Pakistan team in this match because the game will be held in their home ground. Maybe this familiar ground can create favorable conditions for them to win, but I think it will not be able to provide much support based on the experience of the players. Because if the pitch is helpless for the bowlers, it will not be able to play much role, but we will definitely be patient until the end because there is no doubt that this game can also be won by the New Zealand team.
Because the bowling line of the New Zealand team is very experienced and the batting line is from both sides. So it is very difficult to determine the prediction until today's match is the last time, but I will support this match for the Pakistan team.

I don't think Pakistan will have an advantage in terms of home conditions as the New Zealand team won all their matches in the tri-series and is very familiar with the conditions. Pakistan is not in a good touch. First, they selected an inexperienced ODI squad and just before the champion trophy, they changed the batting position of their best batter. Without a proper opener and a specialist spinner, I don't think Pakistan will be able to go to the second stage. Individual brilliance might win them a match or two.
Today was the match between Markhors (Pakistan) and Stallions (Pakistan). When the toss was happening Markhors won it and they decided to give target first as well.
In the start of the match the Stallions (Pakistan) did good bowling and destroyed their top order but later when Agha Salman and Iftikhar started to play with partnership, it was great for their team and helped a lot. Muhammad Rizwan has not played long innings but that was good at that time to handle pressure and to calm down the situation for his team. Abdul Samad also played well. By the way, Fakhar Zaman started well but has not any advantage because he lost his wicket early.

Markhors looked like a balanced team with good power hitters at the top of the order. Markhors' lower order did well in getting them to a respectable total. Their bowlers did well in the last game and destroyed the Stallions' batting lineup. I think PCB should focus on young players in this ongoing 50-over cup.
The irony is that many Pakistan players perform well in the league tournaments but when it comes to international bilateral series and tournaments, only a few renowned ones perform.
Australia tour of Scotland 2024
From 4th September here will be the series between Australia and Scoth Land (men’s team.) By the way, I am pretty sure here is not chance for the Scotland -snip-

This Australian tour will be the first bilateral tour between the two teams. The Australian team will play 3 T20I match series. Australia will easily win this bilateral series. Scotland's team has no chance of winning against Australia. The Scotland team has improved a lot in the recent times and might give a tough time to the Australian team in the matches. Hazelwood is out of the series because of the calf strain.

^^^ There are some updates for the next match between Pakistan and Bangladesh from the Pakistan side.
1 – The first-day entry is free for the students of Pakistan, VIP, Low class what ever they want.
2 – Another green pitch is here in Rawalpindi, Shaheen Afridi and Babar Azam were checking the pitch today and they understood how to play in this green pitch.
3 – Abrar Ahmed, Aamer Jamal, and Ghulam have been picked for the second test match from the Pakistan team. Abrar Ahmed and Aamer are really good option while Ghulam also has its importance. Abrar Ahmed and Jamal have the greatest history in the test matches.
- Free entry won't matter much unless spectators are interested. In the good old days, Pindi used to set the stage on fire with jam packed stadium but it's not the case anymore as far as test cricket is concerned due to various reasons. 1 – The first-day entry is free for the students of Pakistan, VIP, Low class what ever they want.
2 – Another green pitch is here in Rawalpindi, Shaheen Afridi and Babar Azam were checking the pitch today and they understood how to play in this green pitch.

Agreed! The Rawalpindi crowd was energetic in the past few test series, but in the 1st test match, the majority of the stands were empty. I think the Pakistan cricket team's bad performances after one another might have fueled this behaviour.
There is a political agenda behind this move of allowing students free entry into the stadium on 30th August. The outside world may not know but Imran Khan, the former Captain and Prime minister of Pakistan who has been in prison by the establishment for around two years, the students federation has put a call on 30 August (the first day of the test match) to launch a students protest. This is inspired by the recent brave Bangladesh students who helped the country get rid of corrupt politicians.
The PCB chairman who is part of the government has made this tactic to divert student's attention from the protest but these things won't matter because we will take independence one day from our corrupt politicians and our corrupt army.
This sounds interesting. If this is a political move, I think such moves will not help the Pakistan Government's cause of holding Imran Khan supporters. Pakistan's political landscape is not looking good and they have border tensions with their neighbours. Things are not good for either Bangladesh or Pakistan on political fronts.
Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]
Unfortunately there were heavy rain in that area of Pakistan where this match was going to be played. So due to this match didn't played between Pakistan A and Bangladesh A. And match abounded without any ball.
But I was pretty sure that Pakistan A can win that match easily because there performance was excellent in the previous match and we could hoe that they continue this performance again. By the way we can't say anything. Because Bangladesh A team has also ability to be Pakistan A.
Well they have one more match and I hope Bangladesh A team will show their power in upcoming match.

Yes, it was unfortunate for both teams that rain affected the match. I think Bangladesh A might have bounced back in the 2nd ODI after watching the heroic performance of their seniors against Pakistan in 1st test. There was a report saying that rain might effect the 2nd test between Pakistan and Bangladesh.

In the second game, Jaffna won the match by 4 wickets against Colombo. After the early collapse of the Colombo's top order, the middle order stood up to the task and the batsmen played handy knocks to get to a respectable total of 268. Isitha Wijesundara was exceptional with his bowling and took 5 wickets. In response, Jaffna's top order played brilliantly and with some support from the middle order they chased down the target with ease. An exceptional opening partnership of 147 runs took the game away from Colombo.
Re: Memecoins lose $20 billion in market capitalization since May
Losing $20 billion in less than 90 days is no small feat, and the future of the meme coin market remains uncertain.[/i]
It was bound to happen because once the hype was over and the whales filled their bags with money, they dumped meme coins and now the retail investors (who wanted to get rich quickly) are in losses. Meme coins are for short-term investment, invest when the price is low, take advantage of the hype, exit the market, and do not invest in the same coin.
Usually, large investors/ whales select a coin, create hype, pump it 2x to 10x, empty their bags, take profit, and move to the next coin. Many coins were pumped significantly in the 2021 alt season, and now they are nowhere to be seen.
There is positive news for memecoin holders and traders of other tokens in Solana. According to this news update, Paypal USD market capitalization has reached more than $1 billion and much of the supply is in Solana.
Solana's ecosystem is expanding quickly and I think Solana will be the next big thing in the coming months. I am expecting a significant pump in Solana's market value.

Srilanka Vs England 2nd Test Match
Today is the 2nd Test match between Srilanka and England. They have played two test matches before first was the tour match and after that they played the first test match. And in both matches England showed great performance and they are looking still strong. And I think they will play well in this Test match which is going to start today. Srilanka try well to compete but unfortunately they have a tough opponent therefore they lose the match. I hope Srilanka will try to their best to win this match.

Srilanka try well to compete but unfortunately they have a tough opponent therefore they lose the match. I hope Srilanka will try to their best to win this match.
England are leading the series by 1-0 and there are high chances that they will make it 2-0 by the end of this test match. If Srilanka is able to only draw this test, i would consider it an achievement for them. In the last test match, the Srilanka team were quickly out at 236 but made an improvement in 2nd innings by making 300+ runs. Similarly, in bowling, they were able to take 5 wickets for England at 200 runs.
Things were looking better for Sri Lanka at the end of that test match but it was too late for them to come back. If they can contiune that form, maybe they can give surprise to the England team but right now all the odds favour England to win this test.
It is difficult to beat England on their home turf. If Sri Lanka takes the wicket of Joe Root early in the inning they will have a chance in this test match. The problem with the Sri Lankan team is that their top order has not performed in the past few games. Their middle order worked hard to get them some runs in the last few games. If England bowlers manage to take the wickets of the Sri Lankan de Silva, Chandimal, Mathews, and Kamindu Mendis in quick succession, things will get difficult for them. Kamindu Mendis is an excellent talent and performed in many pressure games. I expect a good game of cricket as I think Sri Lanka will improve their performance in this test match.
What an excellent performance by the West Indies team. South Africa gave the target of 109 runs due to rain and seven overs reduced per side 13. Overs match was played. Tristan Stubbs played a 40 runs innings by facing fifteen balls. From the West Indies side Romario Shepherd took two wickets. West indies chased down the target with loss of 2 wickets brilliant batting by West Indies batsman they save their wickets which gave benefit to put pressure on the bowling side Nicholas Pooran scored 42 runs innings while Shai Hope played an unbeaten innings of 42 runs and helped his team to winning this match west indies won this match by 8 wickets and whitewashed South Africa totally bad performance by guest team in whole series they could not won any single match
Exactly the performance was just marvelous. First of all the important part of part of the match that the match shrunk to the 13 overs. But we know that there were the Legends of T20 means West Indies and they made thi short match more exciting. That is the huge score which they made in 9.2 overs. Means there runrate was 12.42 and that is a huge run rate. Overall I enjoyed the match. Because that was an amazing match.West Indies is a dominant force in T20 cricket and the form they are in, they can win against any opposition. Yes, the team batting second in a rain-affected match has a slightly higher chance of winning, but if a team knew that there would be rain and the DLS would apply, they should have played with more intent. In the form the South African team was in, I don't think they would have scored 200 if they batted for a complete 20 over quota (in that situation, the target would have been somewhere around 170 runs). You are ignoring that WI chased down the target in just 9.2 overs, what would they do if they had 11 more overs to bat? The South African team looked off-colour in the T20I series and they missed the services of a few of their batters.
The Netherlands won a thriller against the USA. The Netherlands gave an average target of 133 runs. The USA bowlers did a good job restricting this Netherlands side to a low total. Harmeet Singh was exceptional with his bowling spell and took 3 wickets for 8 runs. The USA team failed to achieve this average target. The USA batter did well in the first 10 overs of their batting. Their top order chipped in, but their middle and lower order collapsed and in the end, lost the match by 4 runs. Aryan Dutt took 3 wickets and helped his team win the game.
I had a friend who took a loan from the company he works for , about 30,000, which would then be deducted from his initial salary.
He then went on to use this money to trade , now psychologically he was just not ready for it because his whole mindset was just about making a huge amount of money that he ended up loosing everything.
Trading is a risky venture and borrowing money for trading is stupid especially when you don't have any prior experience. People lose money in trading when they get greedy. People should acquire basic trading skills and enough knowledge of the market trends before making any decision. Always start trading with a small amount and when you become an experienced trader go for a suitable amount. Spot trading is less risky than futures trading. If a person is inexperienced, he should opt for spot trading. Diversify your portfolio to mitigate the losses.
Hi Forum members, Seeing the high rate of cost of living in our country today, please I want to ask how has this bad or better still tough economic situations affected your family and marriage?
For those already in it, has it cause chaos/disorder between you and your partners?
And those that entered it not long, does this current situations make you lament taking such decision.
For the bachelors/spinsters, are you grateful been single this moment?

Of course, this inflation and economic crunch did affect the majority of the people. Food and commodity prices have gone way up and it is getting tougher and tougher to maintain the lifestyle. This situation is challenging for low-income individuals.
As far as the effect of this economic situation on the marriage is concerned, I don't think this should affect the relationship between husband and wife. If you have an understanding partner, things will work out nicely as they will face the challenges together like they used to. This will make their bond even more stronger.
For these kinds of situations, it is advisable to have emergency funds, more than one source of income, and a good investment portfolio (stocks, property, gold, BTC, etc.).

The majority of the meme coins in the market are scams, they are just cashing out the hype. The majority of meme coins and other altcoins are not worthy of investment because of their inexperienced team and average project (altcoins).
People did make money from the meme coins and got rich overnight, but those were the few exceptions. The majority of investors lost their money in meme coins because they wanted to get rich quickly and were played by the scammers. Always remember one thing, invest the amount you can afford to lose.
I have some bucks to invest & I'm not sure. Don't wanna buy BTC as I already have some. For these savings, I am planning some altcoins to add in my portfolio.
Not sure yet if I want it for long term or short.
Suggestions are appreciated.

It is a good time to buy altcoins -at the moment- because the price is already way down from ATH and in the upcoming alt season, if these coins reach near to their ATH you will get good profit. Altcoin investment should be for the short term with a few exceptions. I suggest you do your research and select the coin according to your investment budget. In my opinion, Solana, Matic, TON, DOGE, and SHIBA are good options to invest in.
How do you guys think dogs will perform?
The hype for the Dogs is there and since the coin is listed on Binance the price is very stable and fluctuating in a narrow range. I think we might see a good pump in the coming days. I think you will be making a mistake if you hold the coin for the long term. One big upside move is inevitable, and short-term profit chances are very high so it is better to book your profit and exit the market.
I'm not really sure about this but we could be at this 'spot' when it's time to start accumulating alts again. But not just any alt. I think we could have better chances of more upside if we hold the newer ones that were released recently. None of those old ones like UNI, AAVE, LTC or XRP which already had their time of trending up huge during past bull markets. We want the newer ones that are -80% down or more their recent all time highs. Those ones that were released after 2021. I won't give any suggestions of which those are as it would look like I'm shilling.
I think we'll be seeing a lot of the newer alts make huge moves up next year. And rather than scalping them for a measly 10% gain, just hold them and make a lot more money.
Stay safe out there guys.

I think many altcoins are at their bottom or almost there and it is high time to accumulate some coins. Some of the older coins might have some potential to perform well in the upcoming alt season, but I am more focused on new coins. I agree with your thinking that it is more profitable to invest in newly launched (after the 2021 alt season) coins than flagging a dead horse. I purchased a few coins approximately a month ago when the market dipped and have shortlisted a few more potential coins in case we see another dip in the coming days.
Recently I had to explain to a friend what I was focusing in on financially speaking and I brought up crypto, specifically bitcoin. He was confused at first because he heard that it was unstable and risky. I knew that he already has a bad image of bitcoin so there was an urge to defend bitcoin but in the end I did not.
Bitcoin investment is risky, and so is any other kind of investment (stocks, property, etc.). Bitcoin is highly volatile but will give you good ROI compared to any other investment. Bitcoin is giving people an ideal opportunity to get rich in the next few years; just trust the process and be patient. The long-term investment in Bitcoin is less riskier than trading and short-term profit earning. The best option for you is to refer to some sources of information explaining BTC's progress over the years compared to other classes of assets and let them decide for themselves.
The WI team also achieved a remarkable victory in the third T20 match against South Africa vs West Indies. However, this match was delayed due to rain and the game was later reduced to 13 overs by DLS system. In the first innings, South Africa scored 108 runs in 13 overs with the loss of four wickets. Instead, the West Indies team put in an outstanding batting performance, and soon they scored 116 runs in 9.2 overs to win by 8 wickets. West Indies won the T20 series by winning this match today, and South Africa lost and got whitewashed.
West Indies clean swept South Africa in the three-match T20I series. In the third match of the series, WI dominated the SA team in every department. Batting first in a rain-affected game, SA made 108 in 13 overs. Apart from Tristan Stubbs, no other batter attacked West Indian bowlers. In response, WI batters destroyed the SA bowling lineup and chased the target within 10 overs. South Africa disappointed their fans in this T20I series.
In the 5th match of the tri-series, the USA beats Canada by 20 runs. Batting first, the USA posted an above-average total of 168 runs thanks to Saiteja Mukkamalla's fifty. Other US batters chipped in and helped the team to set a good target. In response, Canada lost the track early in the inning and lost 3 wickets inside the powerplay. Dilpreet Bajwa played a good inning of 56 runs but after his departure, Canada lost the momentum and the remaining batters got out cheaply. The USA is currently at number 3 on the points table, if they win the game against the Netherlands by a big margin they will overtake the Netherlands on the points table, but it seems impossible.
