Match 22 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 will feature a match of two hungry teams as Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on Kings XI Punjab.
Both teams are coming off disappointing losses and will desperately like to get things back on track.
SRH is coming off a disappointing loss against MI by 34 runs. KXIP is also coming off a huge loss against CSK. Both the teams would look forward to compensating for the heavy net run rate loss faced due to those losses as well.
Kings XI Punjab
KXIP has had an extremely disappointing IPL. The fact that their net run rate is positive despite being at last place goes to show the nature of their losses. Their bowling primarily has let them down.
Except for Mohammed Shami and Ravi Bishnoi, everybody else seems to be struggling. They did a good thing by calling Chis Jordan back in place of Jimmy Neesham as a solid bowler. However, he is leaking runs as well. KXIP may consider replacing him with Hardus Viljoen. Also, there hasn’t been any update as such on Murugan Ashwin, however, if he’s fit, he should be brought in instead of Harpreet Brar.
Sunrisers Hyderabad
SRH is coming off a disappointing loss against Mumbai Indians. They bowled well keeping in mind the match being in Sharjah. Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Rashid Khan, and Natarajan were phenomenal. However, Siddharth Kaul, who is a good T20 bowler, went for runs.
The problem for them is the middle-order. Even though youngsters Priyam Garg, Abhishek Sharma, and Abdul Samad have proved that they can deal against experienced opposition, they cannot expect them to always deliver. Kane Williamson will have to lead them.

Fantasy XI team
KL RAHUL (11)(C) – Rahul has been extremely consistent in this IPL with a fifty and a century. He has been a run machine and will be our captain.
DAVID WARNER (10.5) (VC) – David Warner has been in phenomenal form and has been consistent as well. He’ll be my vice-captain.
MAYANK AGARWAL (9.5) – Agarwal is probably in the best purple patch of his life.
MANDEEP SINGH (8) – The veteran made his first appearance in the last match. He was promoted to number 3 and looked really good.
PRIYAM GARG (8) – The youngster has proved that he can play quick even if the top-order collapses.
ABHISHEK SHARMA (8) – Abhishek Sharma can really add quickfire runs at the bottom. He can bowl well and can give you at least two overs.
NICHOLAS POORAN (9) – Pooran has looked really great. He hasn’t scored big but knows his role on the side and does that effectively.
JOHNNY BAIRSTOW (9.5) – Bairstow has been in great form as well. He has adapted an anchor role and thus scores big.
MANISH PANDEY (9) – Manish Pandey has been in great form and has been given a new role of leading the middle-order.
MOHD. SHAMI (9) – Shami looked phenomenal with his spell where he picked up 3 wickets in the first match and bowled well in the second as well.
RAVI BISNOI (8) – Bishnoi impressed everyone with his dynamic leg-spin.
PREDICTION
KXIP has been looking great but is making small tactical errors. It is expected of them to rectify those and bounce back strongly. SRH, on the other hand, cannot necessarily make more changes. At the most, they can have Mohammed Nabi replacing Kane Williamson. However, their current players will have to step up their game. KXIP will therefore defeat SRH.
Today, AMD will be launching its new Zen 3 microarchitecture globally to all its fans and enthusiasts who have waited for this for quite some time. It’s now a few hours or so for the launch event to begin, and here we will inform how all AMD India fans can actually see the event.

Obviously, today’s main agenda will be AMD’s Zen 3 architecture for its next-gen CPUs dubbed as Ryzen 5000 or the successor to Ryzen 3000 series. Why Ryzen 5000? Because AMD will be skipping the Ryzen 4000 naming scheme for their upcoming Zen 3 based Vermeer CPUs to as not to create any confusion with their very successful Ryzen 4000 Renoir APUs.
As per recent benchmark leaks, we have already seen the great potential from the new AMD Ryzen 5000 consumer CPUs, so we can hope its upcoming Threadripper and EPYC lineup will be great as well. These processors should give a healthy boost from last-gen Zen 2, and it is expected that the single-core frequency should improve this time and challenge Intel or overtake as well.
"Ryzen is all about bringing out the best that computing can offer," and we look forward to bringing you more of the best with Zen 3.

Virat Kohli and new records are always related to each other. He has made a new record in their match against Delhi Capitals in IPL 2020 on Tuesday.
Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli put a new feather in his cap. The Indian Captain is the first Indian cricketer to amass 9000 runs in T20 cricket.
He is the 7th player in the world to achieve this feat after Chris Gayle (West Indies – 13296 runs), Kieron Pollard (WI – 10370), Shoaib Malik (Pakistan – 9926), Brendon McCullum (New Zealand – 9922), David Warner (Australia – 9451) and Aaron Finch (Australia – 9148).
Mumbai Indians Captain Rohit Sharma was not far behind. Rohit has scored 8818 in T20s and Raina is 3rd Indian in the list with 8392 runs.
Kohli made his T20 debut in 2007. It was Kohli’s 197th match for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Kohli has scored 5969 runs at an average of 37.77 and a strike rate of 132 in his long career with RCB. He also scored 5 centuries including 39 fifties.
RCB was beaten by Delhi Capitals in the same match where their captain achieved the new feat. RCB won the toss and elected to bowl first.
But his plan didn’t quite work well as his team cannot chase a big total of 197 set by Delhi Capitals and lost by 59 runs.

Finally, Realme has launched the Realme SLED 4K TV. This TV has a price tag of Rs. 42,999, but the company provides first sale offer for Rs. 39,999. Let’s get into the specification of this new television set from Realme.
Most importantly, it will be the first SLED 4K movie screen in the world. This 4K Smart TV features 55-inches of screen size with a 108% NTSC ultra-wide color gamut which is much larger than standard LEDs and even much better than some QLEDs. It can display more colors and cinematic visuals and also offers more vivid and detail viewing experiences, and low blue light for eye protection.
Regarding the audio specifications, this TV has Home Theater Dolby Audio System, which offers 100 watts soundbar and 24 watts, quad speakers. This TV also offers a premium bezel-less design up to 9.5mm thin.
This new TV offers 4K display technology for a more clear and bright picture. This Android TV supports Google Assistant and Google Play Store. This TV also features Chroma Boost Picture Engine, which enhances the overall picture to deliver extraordinary life-like visuals.
This Realme TV has a SLED display for a more natural viewing experience with SPD Technology. Whereas most of the LED TVs feature QLED Displays which offers a blue backlight which is then turned to white, but Realme SLED TV uses RGB for the initial stage hence reducing the harmful effects of blue light and providing higher color purity, which protects the eyes. Thus, this SLED technology is far better than the previous QLED technology.
Keeping in mind the user’s eye protection, this smart TV features RGB powered backlight. The SLED technology has a more balanced color distribution among Red, Green, and Blue with similar color density than the QLED. The SLED 4K Smart TV has also passed the TUV Rheinland Low Blue Light Certification.

Cloud computing is an ever-growing technology with advantages beyond the scope of modern technology. Many companies are opting to move their resources to the cloud, enhancing their performance while utilizing the benefits which the cloud offers.
Many of the cloud computing services offer the start-ups to focus more on their software and deployment rather than focusing their resources on hardware Maintenance and cost. Even the gaming industry is adopting to cloud by introduction with the likes of Google Stadia and Xbox Cloud Streaming service.
Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services are the two leading cloud service providers in the market, with International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) being a close third. But the latest target of cloud computing seems to be located in space.
With Microsoft deciding to offer its cloud services in space, it looks like all big three of cloud computing has their eyes set on the skies. Earlier IBM announced a beta of its Cloud Satellite service and almost two years ago; Amazon launched its AWS Ground Station that allows its customers to control their satellite communications, process data, and scale operations without building or managing their ground station infrastructure. AWS is even establishing a new space unit called the Aerospace and Satellite Solutions.
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) reports that non-geostationary satellite orbits like the medium earth orbits and low earth orbits uses are increasing worldwide. NGSOs move across the sky while orbiting the earth, unlike the fixed geostationary satellite orbits. Space launch has become more affordable these days and many organizations are relying on satellites to establish their communications and for providing their services.
These satellites are used for services like weather forecasting, surface imaging, communications, and video broadcasting.
The applications of NGSOs are outstanding and many, the data from theses satellites still need to be processed and analysed in data centres that are located on the ground. These stations are called ‘Ground Stations’.
So, what are the cloud computing giants trying to achieve in space?
Building and operating a ground station can easily cost up to $1 million or more, which is too heavy for many businesses to afford. Not to mention that the data from the NGSOs need to be stored using huge data storage centres and they require a lot of computing power to be processed. These only stands to add even more cost for setting up a ‘Ground Station’.
It’s pretty simple. The cloud computing service providers are offering the satellite operators their ground stations on a ‘pay-per-use’ or subscription basis. This allows organizations to rely on satellite operations to focus on the processing part and save a wholesome on capital expenditure costs.
These ground stations offer a faster analysis of the data with Artificial Intelligence tools resulting in much better operations from the satellite operators.
AWS is ahead of the competition by having NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and satellite operators Iridium Communications and even Spire Global as its customers. Private sector organizations such as Lockheed Martin, Maxar Technologies, and Capella Space are also utilizing AWS ground stations.
Ground stations offering cloud services are the next big thing in the cloud market and it looks like all the big three cloud service providers are eyeing to attract more customers to use their cloud computing ground stations. The destination is the sky people.

8. Leeds United
After 16 years away from the Premier League, Leeds United have come back to make a statement. With the signings of Raphinha, Helder Costa, Rodrigo, Robin Koch, Diego Llorente and Jack Harrison, Bielsa’s side looks like strong candidates to retain their position in the Premier League.
7. Bayern Munich
Although they had been dormant since the initial high of signing Leroy Sane, Bayern sprung back to life on the day before deadline day. In 24 hours, they completed the signing of Marc Roca, Eric Maxim Chuopo-Moting, Douglas Costa and most importantly, Buona Sarr to provide cover for the right-back position.
6. Inter
Although not as impactful as their rivals AC Milan, Conte’s Inter have managed to sign Achraf Hakimi, Arturo Vidal, Alexander Kolarov, Matteo Darmian and build up the squad in the form of returnees Ivan Perisic and Radja Nainggolan. Falling short only 1 point behind Juventus last season, Inter could finally get their hands on the Scudetto this time out.
5. Tottenham Hotspur

A rather unexpected inclusion given Daniel Levy’s reluctance to spend on transfers, Spurs have completed some seriously decent deals this summer. Signing Sergio Reguilon and Gareth Bale from Madrid tops off a transfer window that has seen additions in the form of Matt Doherty from Wolves, Pierre Emile Hojberg, Joe Hart and the one to top it all off, a backup striker in the form of Carlos Vinicius. Spurs do look like genuine top-four contenders this season.
4. AC Milan
The once titans of Europe have begun their climb back to the top in the form of shrewd investments in the transfer market. With the likes of Sandro Tonali, Simon Kjær, Brahim Diaz, Alexis Saelemaekers and Diogo Dalot having been newly recruited, it looks likely that Milan will challenge for at least the top four, along with the knockout stages of the Europa League.
3. Villareal
Considering the sort of money that Villareal have spent, they’ve had some of the best quality. With the likes of Danny Parejo, Francis Coquelin, Takefusa Kubo, Juan Foyth and Parvis Estupinan joining the club, Unai Emery has great expectations on his shoulders to take the Yellow Submarine back to Champions League football.
2. Everton
If the initial boost is something to go by, then Everton have been one of the smartest conductors of business. Signing James Rodriguez for free, along with Allan, Ben Godfrey, Doucoure and Nkounkou, Don Carlo has his sights set on Europe as the Toffees look the best they’ve been in recent memory.
1. Chelsea
The Blues have been the most active club in the transfer window across Europe. Spending over €250 million on reinforcements, Frank Lampard now has some healthy expectations to fulfil. With the signing of Havertz, Ziyech, Werner, Mendy, Silva, Chilwell and Sarr, Chelsea look like a team well worth challenging for the top of the league.
