Perth Scorchers vs Adelaide Strikers TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. PRS vs ADS Match Prediction & Analysis There is a very small chance of either of these teams making it to the top 4. With 6 points each from 9 games, the maximum they can reach is 8 points. Other teams like BRH and MLR are ahead with a better chance of finishing at number 4. Nevertheless, it is a must-win game for both sides as they lock horns for the second time this season. The last time they met, Perth Scorchers restricted the Stirkers to 142 runs and chased down the target with 7 wickets in hand. Scorchers have been struggling with the bat since then. They lost two consecutive home games right after their win over Adelaide. Most of their key batters are inconsistent. TEAMS PREVIEW Perth Scorchers Preview Perth Scorchers come home for their last league stage match. After winning their first two outings at this venue, the Scorchers lost the next two games. In their last match on this ground, the hosts suffered a batting collapse and finished with 147 for 8 batting first. While they quickly improved in the very next game with a 200+ score while chasing a big total, the batting collapsed again as they were bowled out for 97 runs in their recent loss in Sydney. Batting inconsistencies are a huge concern for the Scorchers. Cooper Connolly and Ashton Turner are the key middle-order players for Perth Scorchers. A lot depends on these two. If these two are out cheaply, we donβt expect the Scorchers to post a competitive total or chase one down. Sam Fanning and Finn Allen have struggled to get them off to a good start. However, we can still expect one of these two to get going and score some quick runs in the powerplay. Adelaide Strikers Preview Adelaide Strikers will back themselves to continue their batting form as they take on Perth Scorchers in an away game. D Arcy Short came in for Chris Lynn in the last game. He managed to score just 10 off 9 balls opening alongside Matthew Short. Lynn was in fine touch and would be a better choice for the opener. However, D Arcy Short brings in an extra bowling option with his left-arm wrist spin. Alex Carey is an experienced campaigner at number 3. He may not strike the ball at a faster rate but can build steady partnerships. Ollie Pope and Alex Ross look promising at 4 and 5 and will be the key batters to watch out for. Weather Conditions It will be clear and sunny in Perth on the match day with a high of 26 degrees Celsius. It is likely to rain a day before the match but no signs of cloud on the game day and we can expect a complete and exciting thriller in the last home game of the season for Perth. PRS vs ADS Pitch Report There is great bounce and pace on offer at the Perth Stadium. Fast bowlers will be crucial in this game. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 matches here is 174 runs. It has been a high-scoring venue in T20s with 201 runs being the highest total successfully chased at the venue. We reckon 185+ runs total will be a highly competitive score in this match. Toss: To Bowl Teams bowling first have won 3 of the last 4 BBL matches played at this venue. Scorchers opted to bowl first in their last two outings and will likely continue this approach. The visitors have a deep batting lineup and that puts them in a better position to chase down a target.

MLR vs BH Match Prediction & Analysis It is the last leg of league games in the Big Bash League 2024-25. Three teams are through to the next round, and only one spot is up for grabs. The Melbourne Renegades will take on the Brisbane Heat in the 38th game as both teams look to reach the next round. The Renegades lost against the Hobart Hurricanes in the last game, and the Brisbane Heat also lost against the same team. The Melbourne Renegades have struggled with their consistency this season. The side sits at the bottom of the points table and has won only once in the last six games. They have lost the last two games against the Brisbane Heat, which will be on their minds. The Heat have their batsmen in good form, and it will be interesting if it can power the team to victory. Brisbane Heat Preview Usman Khawaja and his men must come out of the heartbreaking loss in the last game against the Hobart Hurricanes by 5 wickets. They lost the nail-biting contest off the last ball and failed to secure a berth in the playoffs. It is a must-win game for the side, and Khawaja expects a strong show from his bowlers as they failed in the last game. Usman Khawaja must lead from the front and deliver a good start in this game with Nathan McSweeney. Marnus Labuschagne batted brilliantly in the last game, and he will look to add quick runs in the middle order with Matt Renshaw and Max Bryant. Tom Alsop and Michael Neser are good hitters and shall look to deliver a perfect finish. Weather Conditions We will see clear skies over Melbourne on January 16. The wicket will be flat and allow batsmen to play their strokes freely. The side batting first would need 170 on this wicket to feel confident, with the average first-inning score being 157 runs. MLR vs BH Pitch Report Docklands Stadium, Melbourne, has a good batting surface and fast outfield. We have seen sides put up big scores at this venue. Fast bowlers get a hint of assistance from the track, but it is a challenging venue for the spinners as the shorter boundaries don’t leave a margin for error. Toss: To Bowl The side chasing the score has won eight out of the last ten games at this venue. The wicket is challenging in the first innings, and it becomes better to bat on in the second half. The side that wins the toss would like to bowl first and restrict the opposition to a small total.
πππππ :Β Joburg Super Kings vs Pretoria Capitalsππππ : Β January 16,Thursdayββ ππππ :β 21:00 PM ISTββββββπππππ : DP World Wanderers Stadium, Sandton, South Africaππππππππππ : SA20 League, 2025 Joburg Super Kings host Pretoria Capitals as they look to extend their 100% record to three matches. Joburg Super Kings vs Pretoria Capitals TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. JSK vs PC Match Prediction & Analysis This clash brings up ten matches in the 2025 SA20 and even at this early stage there is already a six point gap between the 2024 champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape who are marooned at the bottom of the table and Durban’s Super Giants who are one place above them! Pretoria Capitals have the same win-loss record as the Super Giants but have one additional point which puts them just two points behind current pace-setters MI Cape Town. With such a congested table, there is still time for any of the top five to make a burst and finish in the top position, but a couple of consistent results will likely see any of the sides take over at the summit. TEAMS PREVIEW Joburg Super Kings Preview The Joburg Super Kings made it two wins out of two with a comfortable 28 runs win over Durban’s Super Giants in match eight of the 2024 SA20 on Thursday evening. After posting 169/7, there were some commentators who thought the game may still be in the balance but in the end some strong bowling by the Super Kings saw them dismiss the Super Giants and win with two overs to spare. Although they won that match, captain Faf du Plessis will be demanding more from himself and his fellow batters in this clash after he was dismissed for a three-ball one and four others of their six fell for scores between 22 and 38. Pretoria Capitals Preview Pretoria Capitals were dealt a blow on Wednesday when it was announced that their star pace bowler, Anrich Nortje, was not only ruled out of this tournament but also the upcoming Champions Trophy with a back injury. Although he has not featured in either either of their three games so far in this campaign, his pace, accuracy and hostility were expected to be on full show in this clash. In his absence, the bowling attack impressed against Sunrisers Eastern Cape with all five of the unit picking up at least one wicket and four of them taking 2+! Daryn Dupavillon was the only one to take three wickets but Eathan Bosch was the standout performer and his figures of 2/18 saw him take the Player of the Match Award. Ahead of this game, we can expect the Capitals to bat with their now customary aggression and fearlessness. Will Jacks and Rahmanullah Gurbaz will set the tone at the top of the order with the dangerous Liam Livingstone ready to come in and entertain in the middle order. Weather Conditions After a dry morning and with mid-late evening also forecast to have no rain, there is a potential area of cloud and rain which could hover over the ground during the first innings of the match. The temperature will be up at 26 degrees with high humidity throughout. JSK vs PC Pitch Report Anyone who has watched cricket or played cricket at the Wanderers Stadium will have witnessed first hand how quick and bouncy this pitch can be. It is perhaps a little slower than it was back in the 1990s but there is still the opportunity to post big scores with the ball coming onto the bat at such a good speed.
πππππ :Β Australia Women vs England Women ππππ : Β January 17 ,Fridayββππππ :β 04:35 AM ISTββββββ πππππ : Blundstone Arena, Bellerive, Australia ππππππππππ : 3rd ODI 2025 Australia Women eye a whitewash Australia Women vs England Women TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. AUSW vs ENGW Match Prediction & Analysis Australia Women have sealed the series with a 2-0 lead and will now look for a whitewash as they take on the England Women in the last match of the series in Hobart. The first two games have been pretty low-scoring affairs. The hosts chased down 205 runs in the opening game while successfully defending 180 runs in the second game. There are some in-form bowlers in both sides. Sophie Ecclestone, Alice Capsey, and Lauren Bell lead the bowling attack for the visitors while Kim Garth, Alana King, and Ashleigh Gardner are the key wicket-takers for Australia Women. TEAMS PREVIEW Australia Preview Alyssa Healey needs her batters to bounce back in this match. They suffered a collapse in the last outing while batting first. If it wasnβt for their bowlers, the hosts would have ended up losing the game. The great variety in this bowling attack makes them a force to reckon with. Almost all of their bowlers have been consistent with their economics and the key wicket-takers havenβt let down either. The star players like Alyssa Healey and Ellyse Perry will be expected to continue scoring big in the top 3. These two hold the key to a big start and setting a foundation for a competitive total. England Preview England Women need a win here to shift the momentum before the start of the T20I series. It has been a very disappointing Ashes campaign for England so far. After a dismal batting performance in the opening game, England Women were on top with a brilliant outing with the ball in the second ODI. However, they were bowled out for 159 runs while chasing an 181-run target. Amy Jones was the lone fighter with an unbeaten 41 off 105 balls at number 6. Englandβs middle-order features skipper Heather Knight and Nat Sciver Brunt at 3 and 4 respectively. These two will be crucial for a comeback here. Both have managed to get starts in the last two innings but couldnβt build any significant partnership that could change the course of the game. Weather Conditions It will be mostly sunny in Hobart on the match day with a high of 18 degrees Celsius. There are no signs of rain and we expect a thrilling contest between two quality sides at the Bellerive Oval. AUSW vs ENGW Pitch Report It is a balanced wicket that flattens out as the game progresses making it easier for the team batting second. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 matches here is 266 runs. We reckon anything around 275-290 will be a match-winning total in this game. Toss: To Bowl Teams bowling first have won 6 of the last 10 one-day matches played at this venue. It offers a great contest between the bat and the ball and the chasing team can find help from the surface to gain the upper hand in this match.

Sydney Sixers vs Sydney Thunder TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SYS vs SYT Match Prediction & Analysis Get ready for a big one on Friday as the Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder go head-to-head at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Match 37 of the 2024-25 BBL season. While both Sydney teams have already punched their ticket to the BBL|14 finals, this match carries extra weight – the winners will secure a top-two finish and earn themselves a safety net in the playoffs. With so much on the line, you can bet both the Sixers and the Thunder will be bringing their A-game. TEAMS PREVIEW Sydney Sixers Preview Sydney Sixers have surged back to the top of the standings following two consecutive victories, capped by a thrilling chase of 183 against the Adelaide Strikers, with just one ball to spare. Steven Smith’s comeback has given the Sixers a real lift. He blasted an unbeaten 121 off just 64 balls against the Scorchers in his first appearance this season and backed that up with a strong half-century facing the Strikers. This will be Smith’s final game for the Sixers before he departs for the Sri Lanka tour. Beyond Smith, expect runs from Josh Philippe and Moises Henriques, who’ve both been reliable run-getters this season. Sydney Thunder Preview The Thunder clinched their spot in the BBL|14 finals with a commanding victory over the Scorchers at home on Monday night. It’s a major shift from last season, when they ended up dead last with just a single victory. Sam Konstas continued his good form, grinding out a fifty on a tough pitch that was favoring spin. The Thunder’s spinners then made quick work of Perth, limiting them to just 97 runs. The win pumped up their net run rate, setting the stage for a massive Sydney Smash at the SCG on Friday. The Thunder have stayed near the top of the standings all season, even with a string of injuries plaguing the squad. As many as six players from their initial roster of 18 have missed time. David Warner’s steady hand and run-scoring (324 in 8 innings) have been a huge part of that success. Another player to watch is Sam Billings, who is in great form, accumulating 185 runs in 8 innings at a strike rate of 136. Weather Conditions The Sydney Cricket Ground typically presents a batting-friendly pitch, but it also offers spinners a chance to make an impact as the match unfolds. The ball tends to come onto the bat well, encouraging aggressive play, particularly in the evening. Fast bowlers who bowl with pace can generate additional bounce, but they must be clever with their variations to succeed. The weather in Sydney has been a problem this week. It has rained a fair amount and Saturday’s weather outlook is equally grim. There is a good chance of cloud cover, breezes, and potential thunderstorms that could easily disrupt the action. SYS vs SYT Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Sydney Cricket Ground in domestic T20s is 158. The highest total posted at the venue in the Big Bash League is Sydney Sixersβ colossal 213-4 versus Perth Scorchers earlier this season, a game they won by 14 runs. Toss: To Bowl There is a forecast of showers in Sydney on Friday, which will likely push both captains to field first in this game.

PAK vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis Host Pakistan will be looking to kick-start their home season on a positive note when they take on West Indies in the opening game of the Test series played at Multan Cricket Stadium, starting from Friday (17th January). Despite losing the series in South Africa, Shan Masood-led Pakistan will be start as favorites for this two-match Test series. The home side will be looking to deliver a clinical performance with bat and ball in this series opener. On the other hand, West Indies will be looking to adjust to the conditions and put on a decent show against Pakistan. TEAMS PREVIEW Pakistan Preview In the batting department, the side will be relying on the likes of captain Shan Masood, opener Imam Ul Haq, Babar Azam, Kamran Ghulam, Salman Ali Agha and wicket-keeper Mohammad Rizwan to deliver the bulk of the runs. Since Jan 2024, middle-order batter Saud Shakeel has topped the batting charts for Pakistan in Test cricket. In 7 Tests played, Shakeel has accumulated 560 runs at an average of 43.07 with two centuries and two half-centuries to his name.Besides Shakeel, captain Shan Masood has shown decent form at the top of the innings and scored 522 runs at an average of 40.15. In the bowling department, the side will be relying on the spin troika of Sajid Khan, Noman Ali and Abrar Ahmed to provide timely breakthroughs. West Indies Preview In the batting department, the side will be relying on the likes of captain Kraigg Brathwaite, opener Mikyle Louis, Kavem Hodge, Alick Athanaze, Keacy Carty and wicket-keeper Joshua Da Silva to deliver the bulk of the runs. Since Jan 2024, Kavem Hodge has topped the batting charts for West Indies in Test cricket. In nine Tests played, Hodge has accumulated 516 runs at an average of 28.66 with one century and three half-centuries to his name. In the bowling department, the side will be relying on the pace trio of Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales and Anderson Phillip to provide crucial breakthroughs with the new-ball. Kevin Sinclair and Gudakesh Motie will be two frontline spinners for the visitors for this opening clash. Weather Conditions The wicket prepared for the game at Multan is expected to be on drier side and helpful for the spinners. The batters will have to show patience to score big runs on this surface. The weather forecast for the game will be sunny with light winds. PAK vs WI Pitch Report Multan Cricket Stadium is going to host the opening match of the Test series played between West Indies and Pakistan.

πππππ :Β Paarl Royals vs MI Cape Town ππππ : Β January 15 ,Wednesdayββππππ :β 21:00 PM ISTββββββπππππ : Eurolux Boland Park, Paarl, South Africaππππππππππ : ββSA20 League, 2025 It’s top versus next to bottom yet they could both be on the same number of points when this game is concluded by Wednesday evening! Paarl Royals vs MI Cape Town TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. PR vs MICT Match Prediction & Analysis The games come thick and fast in T20 franchise tournaments and the SA20 is no different. Even though it feels like the competition began only a couple of days ago, this will be match nine with all five teams, apart from last year’s champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape, already having a win on the board. Although MI Cape Town currently lead the way and will put daylight between themselves and the chasing pack with another victory in this game, all of Joburg Super Kings, Pretoria Capitals, Durban’s Super Giants and Paarl Royals are hot on their heels. TEAMS PREVIEW Paarl Royals Preview Although Paarl Royals enjoyed a brilliant opening game victory over the 2024 SA20 champions, they were very much brought straight back down to earth by MI Cape Town at Newlands on Monday when they were beaten by 33 runs. But what will any coach or team manager want after a defeat? That’s right, the opportunity to right the wrongs immediately – and that’s exactly what the Royals will have the chance to do in this match when they come up against MI Cape Town once again. The performance was not a completely poor one and the bowling attack saw all five members pick up at least one wicket although it was only Bjorn Fortuin and Dayyaan Galiem who kept their economy rates at impressive levels. MI Cape Town Preview Taking on the same bowling attack as in match six, MI Cape Town’s Rassie van der Dussen and Reeza Hendricks who put on 79 runs for the second wicket partnership will be licking their lips! Ryan Rickelton missed out at the top of the order but the keeper-batter has an exceptional T20 record, particularly in South Africa, and he could well make up for it in this game. Then there is also the small matter of Colin Ingram at number four, not to mention Dewald Brevis at six, and plenty of other strong batting all-rounders in their line-up. With the ball, Delano Potgieter looks to be their weak link in an attack which has the left-arm pace of Trent Boult, which combines nicely with Kagiso Rabada’s right arm fireworks, not to mention the spin of Rashid Khan and George Linde! Weather Conditions There was rain at Boland Park on Tuesday but according to the forecasters Wednesday afternoon and early evening does not even have a threat of a downpour. The sun will be out with the temperature in the mid-twenties from start to finish. PR vs MICT Pitch Report Only six wickets fell in match three between Paarl Royals and Sunrisers Eastern Cape at Boland Park on the weekend and we expect the bowlers to have to work hard for their wickets once again in this game. Equally, a par score is unlikely to be any higher than 185. Toss: To Bowl Paarl Royals had no problem defeating Sunrisers Eastern Cape by fielding first in match three of the tournament so we predict that both captains will choose to bowl first if they win the toss ahead of this game.

Brisbane Heat vs Hobart Hurricanes TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. BH vs HBH Match Prediction & Analysis Brisbane Heat are at number 5 in the points table with 3 wins from 8 matches and desperately need a win to stay alive in the race to playoffs. Theyβve won 2 of their 4 games at The Gabba. In their last outing here, BRH successfully chased down 174 runs. Colin Munro will expect his bowlers to bounce back in this match after their poor performance in Adelaide in the recent loss. Hobart Hurricanes have won 6 matches on the trot after they lost their opening game. The Hurricanes are in sublime form and will pose a threat to Brisbaneβs playoff hopes. TEAMS PREVIEW Brisbane Heat Preview Colin Munro will be under pressure both as a skipper and as a batter. He came in at number 7 in the last match while chasing a massive target of 252 against the Strikers and was out for a duck. He struggled with his strike rate in the previous game at their home ground in Brisbane scoring just 23 off 25 balls while opening the innings. Matt Renshaw and Max Bryant led the Heat to victory in that game. The two have been in great form and have made consistent contributions in the middle order. Nathan McSweeney also looked in good shape in the last match at number 3 and is a key batsman to watch out for. Hobart Hurricanes Preview Hobart Hurricanes will be looking for their 7th straight win as they take on the Heat in Brisbane. The variety in the bowling attack has allowed Hobart to stay on top of the game while bowling first in each of their last three outings. They restricted the opposition to 154, 164, and 186 in their last 3 matches. The bowling returns have improved with every game. Riley Meredith and Billy Stanlake will spearhead the Hurricanesβ pace attack. Theyβve also got the experienced Chris Jordan in the squad while being led by a fast-bowling captain in Nathan Ellis. Then there are some promising spinners like Nikhil Chowdhury and Peter Hatzoglou. Weather Conditions It will be clear and sunny in Brisbane on the match day with a high of 35 degrees Celsius. Though there will be rain on the days before the match, we expect clear skies on the match day and a complete and uninterrupted game. BH vs HBH Pitch Report The pitch is known for its pace and bounce and will help the pacers. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 T20s here is 161 runs. And since the highest successful run chase here was 175 runs, we believe a match-winning total should be something over 180-185 runs. Toss: To Bowl Teams bowling first have won all the 4 matches played here so far this season. Hurricanes have been successful while chasing a target in their recent matches while Heat also won their last home game while batting second. Both teams will be looking to bowl first in this match.

ADS vs SYS Match Prediction & Analysis Adelaide Strikers will take on Sydney Sixers in their last home game of the season. With just two more games left in their league stage campaign, the Strikers must win both these matches to have a good chance of making the playoffs. Sydney Sixers, on the other hand, will be aiming for the top spot. They seemed to have lost their way with two consecutive losses but the recent win has put them back on the winning track. Sixers had desperately needed that comeback with the bat. They will be taking on an in-form Adelaide batting lineup that recently scored 251 on this ground. Steven Smithβs 121 off 64 balls was the highlight of the Sixersβ recent win at the SCG. TEAMS PREVIEW Adelaide Strikers Preview Matthew Short came into the side in the last match, taking over the captaincy from Alex Ross, and led the Strikers to their second home win. Short scored a brilliant hundred at the top and was part of the 121-run opening stand with Chris Lynn. This is great news for the Strikers. Lynn has been in great form this season, scoring consistently as the opener for the side. However, Short joining him at the top with a brilliant game-changing knock will boost Adelaideβs hopes and confidence. Alex Ross has also been in fine touch at number 5 and is a key player to watch out for. He can lead a great finish for the Strikers along with Jamie Overton in the lower order. Though there has been some inconsistency in the middle order and weβve seen many changes to the batting lineup, Alex Carey and Ollie Pope are quite experienced players with a lot of skill and we expect them to find their rhythm soon. Sydney Sixers Preview Sydney Sixers will be confident after their recent win. Before this win, they were struggling with the bat and failed to chase down 157 and 162-run targets in their previous two outings. While Steve Smith led the batting effort in the last game, what the Sixers need at the moment is a comeback from Josh Philippe and Kurtis Patterson in the top 3. These two batters have struggled to get going since the last 3 consecutive matches. Their lack of form can hurt the Sydney Sixers big time. This will also put a lot of pressure on Steve Smith if he continues to feature in the XI. Skipper Moises Henriques is a key batsman in the middle order. He has a big role to play at number 4. He was in fine touch in the recent outing and will be hoping to carry the momentum into this game. Ben Dwarshuis batted ahead of Jordan Silk and Jack Edwards in the last game and scored an unbeaten 23 off 7 balls. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy in Adelaide on the match day with a high of 21 degrees Celsius. There are no signs of rain, however, and we can expect a complete T20 match at one of the best venues in Australia. ADS vs SYS Pitch Report It is a balanced wicket that has assisted the bowlers on many occasions in the past. This season we saw a couple of high-scoring games and the pitch has looked much better for batting than previous seasons. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 T20s played here is 178 runs. The highest total successfully chased on this ground in recent times is 179 runs. We reckon anything over 185 would be a competitive total in this game. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first have won 4 of the last 5 matches in BBL 2024-25 at this venue in Adelaide. Both teams have an in-form batting lineup and can post a highly competitive total on this ground.

IND-W vs IREW Match Prediction & Analysis It is the third and final game in the three-match series. India Women have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series after winning the 2nd game by 116 runs. It was a dominating show from the hosts as they outbatted the Irish side, and they will look to repeat a similar show. Ireland Women have struggled in the series, and they will look to end it with a win. The Indians have enjoyed a good record at home in the last 12 months. The team has won the last six home games, making them confident. Ireland Women have a poor record against India, with no wins to celebrate. Their performance on this tour has been poor, and it will be interesting to see if the visitors can surprise the Indians with a better performance. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview Smriti Mandhana and her players performed stellarly in the last game.
