Unfortunately, the performance I had expected from the United Arab Emirates team was not as good as they had scored only 39 runs in the first power play and also lost a crucial wicket. If they could have scored at least 50 runs without losing any wickets in the first power play, then the chances of the United Arab Emirates team winning would have been easy. But I think the current situation of the United Arab Emirates will make them struggle a bit to win against Canada. Or it could be that the Canadian team wins this match.

The match between Canada International cricket team and United Arab Emirates is wonderful because both are same calipor teams and UAE did excellent bowling and Junaid Siddique was a person who took 5 wickets in this match but UAE batting is not good in this match and they made no good score after the end of 14 overs and they need 69 runs in just 36 balls and that is looking very difficult for that team because Canada can bend this match to their side by taking 2 wickets in the over because Aryansh Sharma is present on the crease and he made half century in this match and his team need of him and if he will play till end his team will win this match because he is match winner player.

UAE bowlers done impressive job restricting Canada on 150 must be a performance from any team, Junaid Siddique got 5 wickets but fourth wicket partnership between Harsh Thaker and Navneet Dhaliwal brought Canada into safe zone, this is going to be a difference between these two teams in my opinion.

Now in chase, wicket of Muhammad Waseem brings Canada in winning position because he is most experienced and inform batsman for UAE. Aryansh Sharma is doing good job but strike rate is big problem because they scored 88 runs in 15 overs for loss of 4 wickets, now 63 runs in 5 overs enough for them because their batsmen failed to improve their run rate which is always important in these games.

Of course, it will lead to wrong moves that will make you lose your bet because you have limited time to make your decisions. This is where online casino is different from a traditional casino. However, if you are a pro in these kind of games, you should be able to read the game fast and know your next move.

I don't play such games that will put me under pressure because when gambling I need to do it with a relaxed mindset and not in a rush.

My situation is much like yours. I also don't feel comfortable playing these types of games because I don't have the IQ level and patience to play these types of games. I usually face losses in casino slot games, so I don't have much interest in playing these types of casino games.
Especially the games mentioned in this topic can provide extra excitement for many people due to the limited time, but in my case it is stressful, so I would not recommend them to anyone.

When it comes to skill based games, like mental skill games that requires the player to think deeply before choosing to make a decision, it could be like a game that involves running some mental calculations in ones mind before choosing an answer or making a move, such games in real life are time consuming for sure, but we have to understand that online gambling is not the same as physical gambling, and the reason why casino set a timer for each turn is to ensure that no party ends up wasting the time of the other party, it's quite understandable if you guys ask me..

But then, I still agree with you both, it's best to play a game that doesn't put you under unnecessary mental strain, where you play peacefully that even if you ended up losing, you know you lost simply because you weren't lucky, and not because the casino designed the game in a manner it doesn't give one enough time to think and come up with better choice of moves.

So what I thought were rumors that people were saying that the ICC is now run by the BCCI, is that really true or only partially true?
I'm actually afraid that if this continues, the ICC will lose its popularity very soon and as well their brand value. Even though the ICC's popularity is very low compared to other sports like football, only Asian and a handful of European countries participate here. I actually doubt that if this continues, no one will trust the ICC.

When Shashank Manohar became the ICC chairman, he took steps to reduce the dominance of BCCI. He increased the number of voting members, thereby diluting the influence of BCCI. Even if you include Jay Shah, BCCI has only two direct votes out of 17. For majority they need another 7 votes. So the issue is not just BCCI's monopoly, but the support given by other boards such as the ECB and SLCB. That said, I would still claim that Jay Shah has done a lot more for the expansion of cricket, when compared to his predecessors such as Greg Barclay and Narayanaswami Srinivasan. Still I would rate him below Shashank Manohar.

Anyway, after the Sri Lankan team easy win we might going to see a Competitive performance between the Nepal and Italy team but I am expecting win for the Nepal team here. And the third match of today we all know who will be the winner it is India against the Namibian team

Nepal team who played so well in their last game against England, lost to Italy by a margin of 10 wickets. I was expecting that Nepal will win this game quite easily because of there past performance in International cricket but Italy created history by winning their first ever game of T20 world cup. Nepal team batting was not good today and the whole team scored just 123 runs before getting out in 19.3 overs. Crishan Kalugamage picked 3 wickets and was also man of the match. The two brothers who opened batting for Italy stayed on the pitch till the victory.

This is probably the first time I have seen the Italy team and they way they played really impressed me. Although we cannot see the full batting of Italy team but Anthony Mosca and Justin Mosca were playing like the most experienced players. They both remain not out, scored around the 60 runs and won the game for their team.

They lost the match against Scotland but this was a very well deserved win and i never thought that they will play that good against Nepal. I would been keen to see how they perform in their upcoming matches.

Has the current ICC chairman Jay Shah changed much here? Because earlier, if all three boards had got 60% in the Pig-3 model, then BCCI would have got maybe 20%, whereas now only BCCI is getting 38.5%, so it has become more one-sided than before.
Here, I can only see that BCCI is benefiting the most and other cricket boards are not getting their fair share. But as far as I know, the Indian population is very large and therefore, there are many more viewers available from here. Is this why this revenue model has been arranged in this way?

What changed recently is that the BCCI share went up, and that for most of the other members went down (both full members and associates). During the 2015-23 cycle, the final allocation to the BCCI was $445 million (out of a total $2.5 billion, which amounts to 17.8%). But the important part is that most of the other full members received a similar amount (around $130-140 million). The final allocation model replaced the one created by Srinivasan, which allotted $570 million to the BCCI and $0 to the associates. The way that the distribution was calculated is not transparent. The ICC hasn't revealed it to the public.

Afghanistan, however, has been performing very well recently, where they have been able to achieve against the West Indies and moreover, they have won most of the warm-up matches they have played so far for the World Cup.
And in that context, the Afghanistan team is currently one of the fairly moderately strong teams in the World Cup. And on this based they did an incredible performance against the South African team, even they lose this match I would say that this is only becuase of their luck.

Afghanistan International cricket team played very brilliant in the last match but they could not win this match due to bad luck . Gurbaz performance was excellent in this match because he played with strike rate of 200 in this match and he also played well in the super over and hit 3 sixes in the super over and made match interesting . We saw 2 super overs in this match and first super over was tied due to last six of Stubbs . Now Afghanistan is almost out of the tournament because they lose 2 matches of the tournament. Afghanistan team did excellent job but Miller also hit 2 sixes in the super over and they gave target of 24 runs in this match. Stubb's hit first six of second super over. South Africa team is ready to qualify for that second round been they are looking in good form.

I don't really understand the politics behind cricket, and the biggest question for me now is how the ICC's revenue model is actually structured?
How can one country get 38.5% while another country gets only 6%? What is the logic behind all this?

And at the same time, I would also like to know that if you tell the percentage of revenue share of two countries here, what percentage do the other countries actually get, and where can I find the source link to see these?

I was changed when Narayanaswami Srinivasan became the chairman of the ICC. Before his term, the associate share was a lot higher and the full members used to receive almost equal amount. Srinivasan came up with the Pig-3 model, in which the BCCI, ECB and CA would receive around 60% of the share together, leaving the rest for the other full member nations and virtually nothing for the associates. When Jay Shah became the chairman, he dumped the Pig-3 model and came up with the Pig-1 model. In this the BCCI would receive close to 38.5% of the funds and the remainder being distributed to the 100+ members.

Politics and sports are now indispensable because in every sport, too many problems and interest are working ICC model has never been ideal firstly England and Australia use for their own sack after them West indies done as they wanted to do and now India is using their market for this.

Here too many will give their argument about this, India having right of taking 38.5% because they are having enough share in ICC revenue which is surely not good, but they are doing while Australia, England and South Africa standing with them due to their own interest which are fulfilling.

Recently India using things more than sports spirit which are hurting badly, but they are having enough power so they are using this but in this event Pakistan done as India done in recent Champions Trophy, so this is nothing new, but sprit of cricket is facing big negativity, good thing is all settled and many new nations are also coming which will be positive for near future.

You can see this list, probably according to this information, it will be distributed like this until 2027. ICC full member countries get 88.81% and associate members get 11.19%.

I want to say that even if anyone wants to chase their losses, they should be with responsible tactics as they can afford to lose, and for this, they can set a budget for their gambling bankroll. Now, if they lose all their gambling bankroll, then they should stop their loss chasing on that point.
But if we goes with the unlimited loss chasing options, then that will be irresponsible gambling. In that case, there is a high chance of being big losses in a long-run and as well also being addicted person on gambling and we all know the bad impact of all theses.

The point is that responsible gamblers do not chase losses. They naturally gamble for entertainment. At some point the gambler will not be limited to his limits if he will not responsible. Determine what your strategy should be to manage the risk of losing funds in gambling. The best way is to have a fixed bankroll in gambling that you are mentally prepared not to gamble beyond.

Going beyond the limit is not only financially harmful, but it can also lead to personal and social harm. A gambler needs to understand that he has to keep himself within a limit. If he crosses the limit, he will have a bad time and prepare in advance for this. If an addicted gambler admits that he is addicted, it will be easier for him to correct himself and he will not chase unlimited losses. He will try his best to control himself and be responsible.

We receive our weekly from the campaign with a stablecoin and that's making us skip the pain of the market when it drops. Because it is stable and we're free to use it either with sports betting or any casino games. What really influences most of us is our flexibility with our funds. It won't matter if it's in bitcoin for as long as you afford to lose that, that's the important one. But the advantage is with those who gambles with stable coins like for me in USDC when I do my sports betting. I won't mind what happens to market as long as I've dropped my bets.

I would like to agree with your opinion that if we get payment on the bitcoin because of its volatility some times it fluctuate its price and we got loss even sometimes it higher than 5$ but I would also have to say the truth here that in some times we also have profit even that goes high to 3$ and I face this kinds of profit many times as well the loss also but if we make their average then I don't find much difference in long run but in short time you will see only the losses.

It's okay if that's the only difference and that is only a small amount because that's how it is. So for those who receive their payments in Bitcoin, you're free to choose either to convert in stable coin or leave it as is and then you gamble with that. While the difference isn't that much but there are preference that each satoshi must be kept and held and that's why they're choosing to gamble with other cryptos while keeping the sats.

By playing first Delhi Capitals Women team scored 203 runs. They played brilliant inning. Laura Wolvaardt played great inning she made 44 run in 25 ball. Also Jemimah Rodrigues played great inning she scored 57 runs in 37 balls. Another player Chinelle Henry showed magnificent batting he scored 35 runs in 15 balls so we can say that they played overall brilliant batting. On the other hand RCB women team also played very good inning, the total run chased was good but they played with brilliant planning and strategy. Smriti Mandhana played outstanding inning she scored 87 runs in 41 balls also Georgia Voll played mind blowing inning she scored 79 runs in 64 balls. They could not perform well in bowling side but they came back in batting line and won the match with a great victory.

I also agree with you and say that despite the good performance of Delhi Capitals' women batsmen, they lost this match and this is only one reason that is that Delhi Capitals' batsmen performed well but their bowlers could not perform well.
Moreover, if I want to say something extra about this match, Royal Challengers Bangalore performed well from the beginning in this Women's Premier League 2026, but in this final match, I was worried that they had lost to Delhi Capitals before, so they might lose this time too. But that did not happen. Delhi Capitals women's team could put up a competitive performance by performing well in batting, but they could not win.

Dhumketu Xl scored 156 runs. Dhumketu Xl team was confident that these runs would be enough to win but they did not know that Durbar Xl was a stronger team than them.They won the match 3 balls before the scheduled overs.They proved themselves to be a strong team.From Durbar Xl except Nurul Hassan no one worked hard.All the other batsmen wasted balls due to which Nurul Hassan himself kept fighting for the win.He scored 76 runs off 44 balls and hit 6 sixes and 4 fours.All the batsmen did not support his hard work and he won with his bowling.Dhumketu Xl should have been given a little tough time so that the match would have been a little more interesting.Most of their batsmen looked as if they were not playing the match.Everyone is commenting on their weakness.
