AN ODI CLASSIC AT HARARE 🥶

- Zimbabwe bowled out 141 runs.
- Bangladesh while chasing, bundled out for 116 runs.

This is Captain Richard Ngarava, Won the Test vs BAN & First ODI vs BAN.

Zimbabwe are coming back...!!!!

Sehwag 48(22) vs Srilanka

The kind of cricket Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is playing today is very similar to the way Sehwag used to play. (Vaibhav's technique is better)

Back then especially in ODI cricket there was a famous saying if Sehwag survived the first 30 minutes at the crease, he alone could turn the game on its head.

considering the immense talent he possessed it feels like Sehwag underachieved in ODIs

🚨 BEN STOKES OPENS ABOUT LATE NIGHT FIGHT IN CLUB 🤯

Reporter 🎙- What happened that night when you and Atkinson were together ? Is that the reason for your retirement ?

Ben Stokes 🗣 - We were just hanging around when an egoistic guy came up to us asking for a photo. We politely declined, but he wasn't ready to accept "no." Instead, he started abusing Gus Atkinson, and then he threw the first punch at him.

- I couldn't stop myself, I stood by Gus and started fighting to defend my friend. I don't even know what was going through my head at that moment. The fight quickly escalated, and he called six of his friends. But the two of us ( Gus and I ) were more than enough to handle all six of them.

- Fight got escalated and unfortunately police has to involve in that matter and ECB also get to know about that, And sadly we all know what just happened after that .

🇲🇽🇪🇨 Mexico fans pulled up outside Ecuador’s team hotel and spent the night blasting horns and trumpets, trying to make sure the players got zero sleep.

Forget tactics, formations, or training sessions.

This is psychological warfare with a trumpet section.

Vi um vídeo no Instagram onde explica o motivo deles serem tão fanáticos pelo Brasil.

A estimativa é que 100 milhões de pessoas torçam pro Brasil em Bangladesh (População de 170 milhões de pessoas).

O motivo disso é Pelé.

O Brasil foi campeão mundial em 1970 e em 1971 Bangladesh conquistou a independência, e o líder da independência era muito fã de futebol e consequentemente do Pelé.

O fanatismo dele por Pelé era tão grande que ele traduziu a biografia do Pelé para o idioma local e fez a leitura ser obrigatória nas escolas.

E isso dura até hoje.

In 2022, he could have faced Brazil in the semi-final but Brazil lost to Croatia.

In 2010, he could have faced England in the quarter-finals but England lost to Germany.

In 2014, he could have faced Portugal in the Round of 16 but Portugal got knocked out in the group stage.

Italy didn’t even make it out of the group stage the last time they were in the World Cup

Meanwhile, Messi advanced to the next round in all of these stages while the people he was supposed to play against didn’t

So how was any of this Messi’s fault?

Each of the 8 steel petals on that roof weighs 500 tons, roughly the weight of a loaded commercial aircraft, and the whole system opens in 8 minutes. The motors running all 8 petals combined produce less power than a Honda Civic engine. Two things inspired the design: the oculus, the circular skylight at the top of Rome's Pantheon built about 1,900 years ago, and how a camera lens opens and closes.

Then there's the video board. A 360-degree LED screen wraps the inside of the roof, 58 feet tall and 1,075 feet around, big enough for a helicopter to fly through the center. Stand it upright and it clears Atlanta's tallest building by 50 feet. It came in 35 trucks, was put together from 600 pieces, holds 37 million LEDs, and when it debuted in 2017 it was nearly three times larger than any screen the NFL had ever used.

The stadium took 39 months to build, used 27,000 tons of structural steel, and covers 2 million square feet, about 35 NFL fields laid end to end. Final cost: $1.6 billion. Add the $200 million World Cup upgrade and the total hits $1.8 billion.

In November 2017 it became the first professional sports venue in the world to earn LEED Platinum, the top level of green building certification. The 4,000 solar panels produce enough power to run 9 full NFL home games a year. A 680,000-gallon underground tank collects rainwater from the roof and redirects it to local tree programs and the stadium's cooling systems. The LED lighting uses 60% less energy than standard stadium lights.

FIFA does not allow commercial brand names on tournament venues, so the building goes by Atlanta Stadium this summer. It hosts 8 matches between June 15 and July 15, closing with a semifinal.

This is probably the most difficult World Cup to win for any nation, because you’re still going to see a lot of African teams and even Asian teams go toe to toe with the European giants throughout this tournament.

The gap is not what it used to be. African and Asian football have evolved massively over the last two decades. Most of their top players are now developing in elite European leagues, playing at the highest tactical and physical level every week. When countries like Morocco, Japan, Senegal, South Korea, Ivory Coast, Egypt, Algeria, and others arrive at a World Cup, they’re no longer showing up as underdogs hoping for a miracle, they’re coming with players who are already competing against the world’s best every weekend.

The coaching has improved too. Teams are far more organized tactically, better prepared defensively, and much smarter at exploiting weaknesses. Gone are the days when some nations would simply rely on passion and athleticism. Now they’re arriving with detailed game plans, structured pressing systems, defensive blocks, and clear attacking patterns.

What we’ve seen so far in this World Cup is proof of that. European teams are still strong, but they’re not steamrolling opponents the way many people expected. Teams like Morocco drawing Brazil, Japan holding the Netherlands, Cape Verde drawing Spain.

That’s why lifting this World Cup will be incredibly difficult. It won’t just be about beating the traditional powerhouses like Brazil, Argentina, France, England, Germany, or Spain. You’ll also have to navigate dangerous African, Asian, and even CONCACAF sides capable of punishing any mistake.

The era where people could look at the fixture and automatically hand big team
three points is gone. Football is becoming more global, the talent pool is deeper than ever, and this World Cup is showcasing exactly that. Every game feels like a potential upset waiting to happen.

As the India-A players remained locked in a lengthy discussion inside the dressing room following their dramatic Super Over defeat to Sri Lanka-A, a septuagenarian stood patiently outside, waiting for just one player.

Anura Tennekoon, Sri Lanka's first ODI captain and one of the country's most respected cricketing figures, had made the trip from Colombo for a meeting with the boy who has captured the imagination of the cricketing world — Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.
