𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 18,Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Arun Jaitley Stadium, Central Delhi, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 The last time Delhi Capitals played Gujarat Titans was in the first half of IPL 2025, when Delhi wrapped up a comfortable win by 7 wickets. Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans 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. DC vs GT Match Prediction & Analysis Delhi Capitals (DC) take on Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 60 of IPL 2025 this Sunday in Delhi. DC have picked up six wins from 11 games and currently hold fifth place with 13 points. Gujarat, on the other hand, lead the standings with 16 points from 11 matches and are all but certain to reach the playoffs. A loss here could put Delhi in a tight spot. Gujarat have been in solid form and carry more momentum heading into this one, which gives them the advantage in what’s expected to be a tough contest. RECENT PERFORMANCE TEAMS PREVIEW Delhi Capitals Preview Delhi Capitals are still in the race for the playoffs—six wins, four losses, sitting fifth at the moment. They opened strong this season, taking five wins from their first six, but it’s been a rough stretch since, with just one win in the last five games. At 12 points from 11 matches, they’re in a tight spot now. Another slip-up could really hurt their chances, so this one’s got added pressure. The timing isn’t ideal either. There’s still no word on whether Faf du Plessis will be back after the break. Tristan Stubbs, however, will be back for the rest of the league phase. If Faf remains out, it’ll fall on the Indian players to push the team forward. KL Rahul will need to be at the front of that effort. He’s been calm but assertive—381 runs from nine innings at a strike rate of 142.16. Abishek Porel has done well at the top too, piling up 265 runs in 11 games with a strike rate of 150. Axar Patel has stepped in when needed, especially during wobbling middle overs, adding runs that helped settle things. He, along with Stubb,s will be crucial from overs 10-20. Ashutosh Sharma has chipped in late, hitting quick runs to keep the innings moving when the pressure’s been on. Gujarat Titans Preview Gujarat Titans have been one of the steadiest sides in IPL 2025, collecting 16 points from 11 games to sit at the top of the table. With a playoff spot nearly in the bag, they’ll be aiming to lock in a top-two finish to get two chances at making the final. While the one-week suspension caused overseas player issues for several teams, Gujarat haven’t had much to worry about. Jos Buttler and Gerald Coetzee were the only ones who left India after the pause, and both are expected back before the next game. Rashid Khan, Sherfane Rutherford, Kagiso Rabada, and Karim Janat stayed back with the team during the break. GT look balanced across departments, and both units are firing smoothly. At the top, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler have been piling on the runs, each going past 500 for the season. The form of this trio has been a huge factor in Gujarat’s dominance, and there’s no doubt they’ll be central again. In the middle, Rutherford has quietly put together 229 runs in eight knocks at a strike rate of 159. Rahul Tewatia, as usual, has chipped in during the final stretch of innings with his handy cameos. The bowlers have kept their end of the bargain, too. Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna have taken 35 wickets between them, and Sai Kishore has picked up 14 while maintaining control with an economy of 8.37. In a further boost to the team, Kagiso Rabada is all set to be back for GT for the remaining league games. The South African speedster’s presence will further bolster an already strong bowling unit. Rashid Khan is also beginning to find his rhythm again. If the pitch suits them, this bowling unit could make an impact once more. Weather Conditions The surface at Arun Jaitley Stadium is generally flat and settles well once the lights come on. It’s a ground where batters can trust the bounce and get good reward for timing, especially with shots played square. Spinners may find a bit of help later in the game, but it’s usually nothing major, so expect the bat to have the upper hand. Delhi’s weather will be warm and sticky, but there’s no rain in the forecast. The average first innings score at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium sits at 170. The highest total recorded at the venue in IPL 2025 is 205-5 by Mumbai Indians against the home side, a game they won by 12 runs. Expect another high-scoring game with both teams targeting a total of over 200 to feel confident. Toss: To Bat Three of the four matches played at Arun Jaitley Stadium in IPL 2025 have been won by the team batting first. Going by these numbers, it’s clear that batting first is advantageous on this venue.
Netherlands vs Scotland, ICCCWCLT, Today Match Prediction
𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :Netherlands vs Scotland𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 16,Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd, Utrecht𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ICC Cricket World Cup League Two, 2023-27 Netherlands aim for their 5th consecutive win Netherlands vs Scotland 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. NED vs SCT Match Prediction & Analysis Netherlands square off against Scotland in match 67 of ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 on Friday, 15th May. The match is slated to be played at Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd, Utrecht and the scheduled start time is 2:30 PM IST. Netherlands are coming on the back of a 5 wicket win against UAE where they chased down the highest ever score (204 runs) at Utrecht and this is also their fourth consecutive win this series. Scotland on the other hand are coming off a 8 wicket win over UAE, after losing two back to back matches against UAE and Netherlands. Current Standings – Netherlands currently sits in 1st position on the league table with 26 points from 19 matches, boasting a record of 12 wins, 5 losses, and 2 no-results. Meanwhile, Scotland finds themselves at 4th position with 18 points from 15 matches, having secured only 8 victories, suffered 5 defeats and 2 no-results. Head to Head Record – Netherlands and Scotland have locked horns in 12 matches. Scotland has had the upper hand, securing victories in 7 of these encounters, while the Netherlands have won 4 times. Their most recent showdown took place in May 2025, where the Netherlands clinched a 19 run-victory, leaving Scotland in stutters. TEAMS PREVIEW Netherlands Preview The Netherlands are enjoying a dominant run, clinching their fourth consecutive victory on this CWC League 2 tour. They aim to finish strong with a 5-0 record and ascend to the top of the table. In their recent encounter against UAE, the Dutch bowlers delivered a commanding performance. Electing to bowl first, the Netherlands restricted UAE to 203/9. Kyle Klein spearheaded the attack, bagging an impressive 4 wickets for 44 runs. Paul van Meekeren (1/47), Bas de Leede (1/16), and Zach-Lion Cachet (1/13) provided excellent support with economical spells. Chasing the target, the opening pair of Michael Levitt (39 runs) and Max O’Dowd (52 runs) laid a solid foundation with a 77-run stand. Vikramjit Singh, in his second innings of the tour, contributed a quick 15 runs. However, it was Scott Edwards (42 runs off 42 balls) who once again provided the crucial impetus. Zach Lion-Cachet (17 not out) and Bas de Leede (19 not out) calmly guided the Netherlands to victory. Scotland Preview Scotland will be relieved by their performance in the last match, a significant improvement after two disappointing bowling displays where they conceded over 270 runs. The return of their experienced fast bowlers proved crucial in neutralizing UAE’s unpredictable batting lineup. Bowling first, Scotland dismissed UAE for 161 runs in 47.5 overs. Brad Currie (3 wickets for 34 runs) and Brandon McMullen (3 wickets for 48 runs) were the standout bowlers. Jack Jarvis (1/27) and Mark Watt (1/24) bowled with excellent economy in the middle overs, building pressure after the new-ball bowlers had rattled the top order. Scotland then chased down the target comfortably in 24.2 overs, thanks to a rapid half-century from George Munsey (56 runs off 45 balls) and a solid 50 runs off 51 balls from Brandon McMullen. Richie Berrington provided the finishing touches with a brisk 35 runs off 28 balls. With this victory, Scotland concluded their series against UAE with a 2-1 win. Weather Conditions The weather at Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd, Utrecht on Friday, 15th May is expected to be around 4°C with clear skies and the wind blowing at 5 km/hr and a humidity of 98%. NED vs SCT Pitch Report The pitch at Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd, Utrecht, generally favours the bowlers and tends to be a low-scoring venue. The average first innings score here is 176 runs, the presence of live grass on the surface offers swing, while the wicket also provides pace and bounce. A score of 230-250 will be above par at this venue making it difficult for the side batting second. Toss: To Bowl Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd in Utrecht has hosted five ODI matches to date. Interestingly, the chasing team has won four of these encounters, while the team batting first secured victory in the remaining match. We predict the team that wins the toss will opt to bowl first.
United Arab Emirates vs Bangladesh, UAE vs BAN 2025, Today Match Prediction
𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : United Arab Emirates vs Bangladesh 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 17,Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 20:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st T20 2025 Bangladesh have come out on top in all three of their T20I matchups against UAE so far. UAE vs BAN Match Prediction & Analysis Bangladesh head to Sharjah for a two-match T20I series against UAE, starting Saturday at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. The home side carries strong momentum into the series and will back themselves to put in a good performance. That said, they’ve never beaten Bangladesh before, and with far more experience in T20 cricket, the visitors start this short tour with the upper hand. TEAMS PREVIEW United Arab Emirates Preview UAE have been making fast progress in the T20I scene. Their most recent success came at the Gulf T20I Championship 2024/25 in Dubai, which featured Oman, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Qatar. They won four out of five matches and took the title after a tight two-wicket win over Kuwait in the final. Muhammad Waseem is back at the helm for the two-match series against Bangladesh and is expected to be the driving force at the top. He was in excellent form in the Gulf Championship, scoring 221 runs in six innings with an average of 44.20 and a strike rate of 148.32. Middle-order player Asif Khan and wicket-keeper batter Rahul Chopra are two others who’ve been among the runs lately and could add solid contributions. With the ball, Muhammad Jawadullah is expected to lead the pace department. He’ll have support from left-arm spinner Simranjeet Singh, who has been reliable in the middle overs. Dhruv Parashar, known for his steady lines and lengths, is another one who could be effective on this pitch. Bangladesh Preview Bangladesh head into this series looking to turn around their fortunes in white-ball cricket, which haven’t been great lately. They exited the T20 World Cup 2024 without a single win and followed that up with a 0-3 drubbing in India. However, they bounced back by sweeping West Indies 3-0 at home at the end of last year and will want to build on that. Litton Das leads a well-rounded squad with plenty of promise. Along with him, Parvez Hossain Emon and Tanzid Hasan are expected to be the main run-getters at the top. Jaker Ali, who finished as the highest scorer against West Indies, is another name to keep an eye on. He’s shown he can hold the innings together and also shift gears when needed. With the ball, Mustafizur Rahman will be central to Bangladesh’s plans. The surface here should work well for the experienced seamer’s variations, especially the cutters and slower balls he uses so well at the death. Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Hasan Mahmud, with their pace and bounce, will keep the pressure on and are strong bets for wickets. Weather Conditions The pitch at Sharjah Cricket Stadium gives both bowlers and batters something to work with. It usually plays true and offers a solid surface for batting. That said, seamers can expect good bounce early on. Spinners will also find something to work with, but once the dew settles in, it could make things tougher for them. As for the weather, Sharjah will be hot and dry during the match, and there’s no rain expected to disrupt play. UAE vs BAN Pitch Report The average first-innings score at Sharjah Cricket Stadium stands at 151. The highest total recorded at the venue is Afghanistan’s 215 for 6 against Zimbabwe back in 2016. If Bangladesh get to bat first, they’ll likely target something in the 175 to 185 range. For UAE, batting first might mean aiming for a total around 160, which could give them a fighting chance. Toss: To Bat 23 of the 38 T20Is played at Sharjah Cricket Stadium have been won by the side batting first, clearly indicating that batting first is more beneficial on this ground.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Kolkata Knight Riders, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction
𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Kolkata Knight Riders𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 17,Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Kolkata Knight Riders last faced each other in the IPL 2025 season opener, where RCB cruised to a 7-wicket victory. Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Kolkata Knight Riders 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. RCB vs KKR Match Prediction & Analysis After a short pause, IPL 2025 is back with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) set to take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. RCB have had a strong run this season, sitting in second place with 16 points from 11 matches and all but through to the playoffs. KKR, on the other hand, are sixth with 11 points from 12 games and are in must-win territory. A defeat here would shut the door on their playoff chances. RCB, riding high on form, have the upper hand going into this clash. TEAMS PREVIEW Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview RCB have been clinical this season and now find themselves just one win away from locking in a playoff spot. With most of their overseas players back in the mix after the break, they’ll feel good about their chances as the tournament picks up again. Virat Kohli has been in outstanding touch, scoring 505 runs from 11 innings at an average of 63.12 and a strike rate of 143.46. He’s the one to watch, especially against KKR—a team he’s scored 1021 runs against in 32 innings at 40.84. Phil Salt, who had to sit out due to illness and opened the door for Jacob Bethell’s debut, is expected to be available for the rest of IPL 2025. That’s a big lift for RCB since Salt is capable of firing early in the innings. Captain Rajat Patidar has stepped up with 239 runs in 10 innings, scoring at a brisk 140.58. Down the order, RCB will look to Tim David and Romario Shepherd to finish with fire. Shepherd’s knock against Chennai Super Kings—an unbeaten 53 off 14—was a reminder of what he can do. Josh Hazlewood missing out is a tough pill to swallow, given how central he’s been with the ball. Still, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Krunal Pandya have chipped in with wickets and bring some experience. Kolkata Knight Riders Preview Kolkata Knight Riders, the defending champs, have had a bumpy run this season—just five wins against six losses from 12 matches puts them sixth on the table. With two games left and a net run rate of 0.193, they’ll need strong wins and a bit of luck from other fixtures to stay in the playoff picture. The batting order hasn’t really clicked. Ajinkya Rahane stands out with 375 runs in 11 innings, while the rest have been patchy at best. Quinton de Kock was dropped in favor of Rahmanullah Gurbaz, but the swap hasn’t paid off yet. Sunil Narine has had a few quick-fire knocks at the top, though he hasn’t found much consistency. Andre Russell, on the other hand, looks to be back in form—scoring 38 off 21 and following it up with a blazing 57* off 25 in the last two games. Angkrish Raghuvanshi has added real value—286 runs in 10 innings at an average of 35.75 and a strike rate of 145.17. With Venkatesh Iyer injured in the previous match, Manish Pandey stepped in and delivered a calm 36* off 28, likely keeping him in the XI moving forward. Weather Conditions Batters usually enjoy themselves at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, thanks to a pitch that’s typically flat and reliable—just right for clearing the ropes. If there’s something in it for spinners, it tends to show up in the middle overs, as was the case in the last match at this venue. But unless the surface changes drastically, bowlers won’t have much to work with. Rain could be an issue in Bengaluru on Saturday, with a 76% chance of showers and a possible thunderstorm in the afternoon. That means we could be looking at a delayed start or a game that keeps getting interrupted. At M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, teams batting first typically average 168 runs. But this venue often delivers big scores – Sunrisers Hyderabad smashed 287 against RCB here in IPL 2024, setting a new tournament record. For this match, the side batting first will likely aim for 200-210 to feel comfortable. Toss: To Bat The last two matches played at the Chinnaswamy was won by the team batting first. This might prompt both captains to bat first in this game.
United Arab Emirates Women vs Qatar Women, ICCT20_WWCASQ_2025, Today Match Prediction
𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : United Arab Emirates Women vs Qatar Women 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 15,Thursday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 12:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Tambon Khlong Nung, Thailand 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ICC T20 Women’s World Cup Asia Qualifier, 2025 UAE eye a hat-trick of wins United Arab Emirates Women vs Qatar 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. UAE-W vs QTR-W Match Prediction & Analysis UAE Women have won two in two games so far, while their third match was abandoned due to rain. For Qatar, this will be their third match after a loss in the opening game and a washed-out match after that. Qatar Women will not be happy with the outcome of their last match either. They did not get to play against Malaysia due to bad weather. It would have been a great opportunity for them to get some runs and confidence before they face the UAE again. UAE Women had posted a huge total batting first against Qatar in their previous head-to-head match. Qatar Women failed to pick up a single wicket in that game. Skipper Aysha, one of the most promising players in Qatar’s lineup, failed to deliver with both bat and ball. She’s one of the most consistent bowlers for Qatar and has a great strike rate with the bat. TEAMS PREVIEW United Arab Emirates Women Preview UAE Women started with a bang. They scored 192 runs against Qatar Women batting first in just 16 Overs and then retired out all 10 batters. Skipper Esha Rohit Oza scored 113 off 55 balls while her opening partner, Theertha Sathish, added 74 off 42 deliveries. Michelle Botha’s 3 for 11 led UAE’s bowling efforts in the defence of such a big total as they bowled out Qatar Women for just 29 runs. It was a completely one-sided affair. UAE had restricted Malaysia to 30 for 8 in their previous match. Katie Thompson was the star performer in that game with 4 for 7 runs. She continued her good form against Qatar and finished with 2 for 6 in 3 Overs. Thompson, Botha, and Heena Hotchandani are the match-winners to watch out for in the bowling attack. The batting lineup is strong with some reliable players coming in at 3 and 4. Overall, UAE Women have a balanced side with plenty of in-form players in both departments. They will have a clear upper hand going into this match. Qatar Women Preview Qatar Women will be on the back foot as they take on the UAE once again. They haven’t had any game time since their previous loss. They need a huge comeback to turn things around. Firstly, Qatar will need their bowlers to deliver some early wickets and not let the UAE openers run away with the game. It doesn’t take a 190+ score to win a match on this ground. If Qatar Women conceded more than 110-120 runs while bowling first, they will have a hard time chasing down that total. There are some promising bowlers in this side who’ve done quite well in their previous outings before coming to Thailand. In addition to Aysha, they have Roheed Akhtar and Sudha Thapa, who have been among the wicket-takers for Qatar. Rizpha Emanuel and Aysha are good candidates for the opening slots. While Aysha has played in the middle order previously, she would be a great fit even as an opener. Angelina Mare is another promising middle-order batter who will play a key role in this match. Others like Khadija Imtiaz and Christeena Jacob, who were out for a duck at 3 and 4 in their last outing, will be expected to find their rhythm and deliver a strong partnership. Weather Conditions The weather forecast is for light rain in Bangkok with a high of 31 degrees Celsius on the match day. There aren’t many signs of the rain coming to a halt during the day, and we are likely to have either a match with reduced overs or no play at all. UAE-W vs QTR-W Pitch Report There is plenty of help for both batters and bowlers on this wicket. The outfield may not be very fast since there has been rain almost every day. Bowlers will have the edge in the contest. The average 1st innings score at this venue is 97 runs. We reckon anything over 110 will be a highly competitive total. Toss: To Bowl Most games at this venue have been abandoned due to rain in this tournament. However, two matches had a result, and it went in favor of the team bowling first. We reckon bowling first will be a great idea for UAE Women as they can quickly wrap up Qatar’s innings and chase down a small target. Whereas Qatar could see it as an opportunity to post a better total in this game and be in a competitive position.
