Editor’s Pick: India - Bangladesh

By
“Considered to be the current underdogs, the Bangladesh National Cricket Team can by no means be taken for granted. Nicknamed The Tigers, they are capable of bouncing back and surprising the opponents.”
This was what I had written about the Bangladesh National Cricket Team on our app. The team has surprised everyone by making it so far in the tournament. This is a huge celebration for the nation. The term underdogs will start to fade away soon enough.
News items and pictures are making the rounds, revealing the ugly side of the rivalry. The Indian Cricket Team should not fall prey and just concentrate on the game.
Between the two teams, India has won 26 out of 32 encounters.
My prediction of the playing eleven for the match tomorrow would be
Indian Team Squad
Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, Kedar Jadhav, Ravindra Jadeja, Hardik Pandya, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Umesh Yadav
Bangladesh Team Squad
Mashrafe Mortaza, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal, Mahmudullah, Imrul Kayes, Sabbir Rahman, Soumya Sarkar, Mosaddek Hossain Saikat, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Rubel Hossain
Now for the Editor’s pick. My pick..
Virat Kohli - The man leading the team.
M.S.Dhoni - He may not be captain anymore, but Kohli depends on him for little things. That is good enough for me.
Tamim Iqbal - Aggressive left-handed opener.
Rohit Sharma - The hard-hitter of the team.
Shikhar Dhawan - He has been magnificent in the tournament so far.
Bhuvaneshwar Kumar - India’s strength in pace bowling. A complete bowler
Jasprit Bumrah - Right arm fast medium bowler. Give him the new ball and watch wickets tumble.
Rubel Hossain - Can be the game-changer you are looking for.
Shakib Al Hasan - My all-rounder. Batting, bowling, and fielding.
Hardik Pandya - Another good all-rounder. He has a fantastic track record at that.
Mushfiqur Rahim - Batsman-wicket keeper. He’s a good one on the team too.
So far, the prominent decision of the team that has won the toss is to put the opponent into bat first. And it has seemed to work as well. It is imperative to put on a high score on the board so that the bowlers can defend it.
I’d say that the team batting second has a better chance.
Tomorrow, defending champions India take on neighbours Bangladesh in the 2nd Semis of the ICC Champions Trophy 2017. All the best to you too !!!!

IPL 2014 - Mumbai Indians team analysis

By Anonymous
The Mumbai Indians have always been the high-flying team of IPL.  They had the big buys in almost every year of IPL and kept a very high profile.  And over the last couple of years, they have started matching their performance with their profile – with wins in IPL 2013 and Champions League in 2011 and 2013.  Let us see how their team looks this year. Rohit Sharma, Mike Hussey, Ambati Rayudu and Apporv Wankhade are the pure play batsmen in the team. Corey Anderson, Keiron Pollard, Shreyas Gopal and Jalaj Saxena are the all rounders. CM Gautam, Ben Dunk, Sushant Marathe and Aditya Tare are the wicket keepers. Lasith Malinga, Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan Singh, Pragyan Ojha, Jasprit Bumrah, Josh Hazlewood, Marchant de Lange, Krishmar Santokie & Puwan Suyal are the bowlers.  The bowling looks pretty good with Malinga, Zaheer, Bajji and Ojha.   The batting is strong at the top – with Rohit Sharma and Mike Hussey, but looks weak beyond those two.   The power in the team comes from

Peshawar Zalmi vs Multan Sultans - Post Match Blog.

By
The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Ain't it true. Newcomers Sultans thrash Peshawar Zalmi by 7 wickets in PSL 2018 opener sending shockwaves through the league. Being a defending champion did take a toll on Peshawar Zalmi. Not easy walking into a tournament with everyone looking at you assuming you will win. When the Sultans came in to bat, they had an early upset when they lost the opener for a duck. With a target of 152, it took the experienced Kumara Sangakkara to set the ship on course towards the target. He was calm and composed as he has been throughout his international career. Singles and doubles. And planned boundaries. By the time he was out, caught behind, the team was fairly stable. Shoaib Malik’s captain knock along with Kieron Pollard finished the match in style. Earlier in the day, Peshawar Zalmi came in to bat. Apart from Mohammad Hafeez’s 59, with twenty-something runs from Dwayne Smith and Darren Sammy; the rest of the batsmen barely contri

Fan Data Analytics: Key to drive sports company growth

By Anonymous
Over the last several years, the buzz word in business and IT circles has been "big-data" and analytics. Many many articles and write-ups talk about them so I won't go into the details. You could get enough to last a lifetime with just the first few results of a Google search of these terms. But do you really know how it applies, specifically to a sports company? For long, sports franchises have been one of the biggest users of analytics. Before this was a buzz word, coaches and managers have relied up numbers and finding patterns in them to drive on-field performance. Indeed, the major leagues of the world have relied on performance analytics for everything from scouting for talent to calling the action on the field of play. But that never transcended to the off-field, more mundane but equally important task of managing the sports business. As more and more options come up vying for the fan's attention - live events, travel, other sports, TV, the Internet - the
