IPL 2020 final: Will MI continue their dominance or will DC lift their first IPL trophy!

Finally, it’s that day of the tournament. The IPL 2020 final is just a day to go as the mighty Mumbai Indians will take on the Delhi Capitals.

The Mumbai Indians will be playing their sixth final overall and will be targeting their fifth trophy win tomorrow. Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, will be eyeing their first-ever IPL trophy win ever!

MI has been extremely dominating in all their wins, however, every leap year (2012, 2016) has produced a new champion, so you never know maybe the stars are aligned for Capitals to cause an upset as well!

Will the defending champions make it five-times or we see a new title-holder?

MI has been in great form. They entered the playoffs with a flawless run winning 9 of their 14 matches. Even out of the five matches they lost, two were in the super over and one was because they purposely rested their bowlers.

However, during the playoffs, every game is a fresh game! And that showed up in the qualifier one game against the Capitals where they lost Rohit Sharma and Kieron Pollard for ducks. However, the team is so equally balanced that every player knows his role and executes it almost to perfection. Quinton De Kock provided a brisk start, Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan scored phenomenal fifties, and Hardik Pandya gave a brisk finish.

Capitals, on the other hand, seemed as if they lost some steam before their qualifier 2 match against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. However, the management played a masterstroke by opening the inning with Marcus Stoinis who has a great record as an opener. The move was risky but boy he delivered! This will be an X-factor for DC going against MI in the finals. Also, Kagiso Rabada found his lost form as he picked up 4 wickets to take his side through.

So does Delhi Capitals has what it takes to pull off an upset? Yes! However, as much as you may like an underdog story, MI will probably make it two in a row to take their fifth trophy home, should they overcome adversity in a crunch game like the qualifier.

Speaking of awards, KL Rahul will probably take the orange cap home with 670 runs. However, Shikhar Dhawan is just 67 runs behind, and scoring those 67 runs is in his wheelhouse so you never know. Kagiso Rabada will probably take the purple home with 29 wickets and potentially more in the final. But again you never know as Jasprit Bumrah is right there at 27.

Apple’s new HomePod reportedly out of Stock

0

Apple launched it’s iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max earlier. Alongside the new iPhone, its all-new HomePod mini also went up for pre-order on Friday. According to the source, after just over 48 hours of availability, HomePod mini shipping times have slipped into December.

Though the HomePod mini became available for pre-order on Friday, the first orders will not arrive until November 16 at the earliest for first buyers. The device is single in white and space gray. And it’s the space gray version that is now facing supply constraints after 48 hours of orders.

According to sources, if one orders a space gray HomePod mini today, it will arrive between December 2 and December 9. That is, however, if you pay for express shipping. Other orders, however, will arrive between December 3 and December 10, according to Apple.

Apple HomePod mini launched at $99

Meanwhile, if one orders the white HomePod mini today with express shipping, it will arrive between November 24 and December 2. And With standard shipping, the device will arrive between November 25 and December 3.

All this indicates that Apple faces a higher demand for the space gray HomePod mini than the white variant. But it could also mean that the space gray model is facing issues with the production and supply chain side of things.

According to sources, many of the iPhone 12 mini variants are still available for launch day delivery on November 13. But the shortage of products could create an uproar among fans who are waiting to get their hands on the new gadgets. With Apple launching its Intercom feature, the demand for its HomePod has increased, and thus it may be the reason for the increased number of pre-orders for the gadget. As to when Apple will fill its stock remains to be seen.

ISL 2020-21: Inter Milan midfielder Radja Nainggolan was offered to ISL club but the financial problem was the main issue

Radja Nainggolan is a well known midfielder of this generation. The Belgian midfielder is a highly experienced player. He is now playing for Inter Milan.

But there was a possibility of him playing for a club in ISL. As per reports, Radja Nainggolan was offered to an ISL Club by an Inter Milan representative. But he was asking for a salary of around 5 million Euros (approx. Rs 42.5 crore). The report suggests that the representative was told, “No Indian club is in a financial position to pay such an amount.”

Radja Nainggolan started his senior career in 2006 with Italian side Piacenza. He has spent all of his career in Italy. He left the club in 2010 and joined Cagliari. In 2014 he joined AS Roma and left the club in 2018 and joined Inter Milan. He was a part of the Serie A team of the year in 4 years [2014–15, 2015–16, 2016–17, 2017–18] consecutively.

ISL is growing rapidly day by day, season by season. There are so many famous players who have already played in ISL. These players helped to encourage the Indian players and Indian fans to love football more, many sponsors came into the scenario to flash money in Indian football, development at the grassroots level, and infrastructure. It surely gave a boost to Indian football.

If this transfer had gone through then it could have been surely a gain for Indian football.

ISL 2020-21 CLUB PREVIEW: Will Chennaiyin FC show their class from the previous seasons?

Two-time winners of the ISL, Chennaiyin Football Club have had success and known for their brave style of football and hosting some of the league’s glamorous players. But in recent times, they just have not had the potency to go all the way.

With new entrants in the league, is Chennaiyin’s squad good enough to qualify for Top 4? We take a brief look at how they stack up.

TRANSFERS

The ‘Supermachans’ bought Jakub Sylvestr and Enes Sipvoic to reinforce their foreign cordon options. They also invested in peak-age Indian players such as Memo, Reagan Singh and Lalchhuanmawia.

Chennai also sold Jeje Lalpekhlua and Nerijus Valskis on free transfers to East Bengal and Jamshedpur FC respectively. They also released veteran centre-back Lucian Goian from their roster.

FORWARDS

STRENGTH

Chennaiyin have always been a fluent attacking team and have had no shortage in terms of scoring goals. They did so with figures of 32 goals in 18 games last season, and even this season look well-stocked in the attacking department which should see them score plenty of goals and assists.

WEAKNESS 

But just as their attack has been efficient, historical trends suggest that Chennaiyin do leak goals often and commit silly mistakes in defence. They recently suffered 1-0 and 3-0 defeats against Mumbai and Goa in pre-season friendlies, but have to bring their solid game when the league begins.

KEY PLAYER

Rafael Crivellaro - Player profile 20/21 | Transfermarkt

Although they have a host of good players, none tank more than attacking midfielder Rafael Crivellaro. The Brazilian No 10 offers much creativity and technical expertise in the final third and had a tally of 7 goals and 6 assists in the ISL last season.

PREDICTED TABLE FINISH

7th Place – Chennaiyin do have a good set of players but in what is set to be a very competitive league, might just be ousted out of Playoffs contention.

AMD Ryzen 9 5950X overclocked to an insane 6.362 GHz

The much anticipated Ryzen 5000 series from AMD is launched. And we now have an exclusive look at the next-generation processor from Advanced Micro Devices. According to sources, the Ryzen 5000 series has exceeded 6 GHz on Liquid Nitrogen (LN2). The Ryzen 9 5950X, on the other hand, offers a peak single-core boost clock of 4.9 GHz. But sources claim that the 16 core processor to have a boost clock of 6.362 GHz.

According to sources, a benchmark user, HiCookie, achieved 6.362 GHz across all cores using LN2. Cookie upped the processor’s voltage to 1.692 V and paired it with a Gigabyte X570 AORUS Master motherboard. The Ryzen 9 5950X displayed a bus speed of 100.19 MHz and a multiplier of X63.5.

New AMD Ryzen 5000 series processors post the highest single-core scores on Geekbench 5 database

The clock score of 6.362 GHz at 1.692 V may be a stable overclock for the Ryzen 9 5950X on LN2. According to sources, the overclocked Vermeer processor scored 15,517 in Cinebench R20, which is around 50% more than the Ryzen 9 5950X at stock levels.

Additionally, if someone again manages to push the Ryzen 9 5950X further than 6.362 GHz. However, sources even claim anyone can still work to go beyond the 8.794 GHz with nitrogen cooling.

AMD’s new processor is already making it stand out and proving that AMD is ready to take Intel’s throne. With the users overclocking the CPU above 6 GHz, some even try to push the processor’s limits further. We can expect that AMD’s processors even to break further and crush its competitors with their next-gen processors.

OnePlus may soon launch its new Smartwatch with its OS

0

Earlier it was rumored that OePlus was working on a new smartwatch for years now. But unfortunately, the project never got to see the light of the day. However, according to sources, there is a strong chance that an OnePlus Watch will be hitting the market soon. But surprisingly, it won’t be using Google’s Wear OS platform.

According to Max J, a relatively reliable OnePlus tipster, the OnePlus Watch will not use Wear OS. It comes as a bit of a shock, given its tight ties with Google and the Android platform.

It is worth remembering that the Wear OS is the de-facto platform for smartwatch makers. The manufacturers don’t have any resources that will enable them to craft their wearable platform from scratch. Among the brands, Fossil and Mobvoi are most famous for their Wear OS platform. Even Oppo company uses it in regions outside of China.

As to why one plus decided to ditch, WearOS is not known. The product will still pair up with the company’s Android smartphones but without Wear OS. As to what kind of new Operating System the company will use is still unknown. Oppo and Xiaomi have used forks of Android, and Huawei uses a barebones OS for its popular wearables devices.

Sources further claimed that the company is not only ditching WearOs but will also not use the OS’s modified version. The manufacturer plans to create its operating system for the smartwatch devices and what and how the new os will look and feel remains to be seen. For now, the Smartwatch’s existence is a rumor, much less the presence of a new smartwatch OS. Only time will tell of the authenticity of these rumors.
