πππππ :ββββ Lucknow Super Giants vs Punjab Kings ππππ : April 01, Wednesday ππππ : 19:30 PM ISTπππππ : Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, India ππππππππππ : Indian Premier League, 2025 Lucknow Super Giants have dominated Punjab Kings in the IPL, losing just one game against them while winning four. Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings 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. LSG vs PBKS Match Prediction & Analysis Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) take on Punjab Kings (PK) in the 13th match of IPL 2025 in Lucknow. LSG recovered well from a disappointing start, securing a solid victory in their second outing. Punjab Kings, on the other hand, made a strong statement with a dominant performance in their opening game, proving theyβre a team to watch this season. With both sides eager to build momentum, this contest is shaping up to be a high-intensity clash. RECENT PERFORMANCE TEAMS PREVIEW Lucknow Super Giants Preview After a heartbreaking 1-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals in their opening game, Lucknow Super Giants made a strong comeback by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad on their home turf. They restricted the Sunrisers to a modest 190-9 and chased it down in just 16.1 overs. Nicholas Pooran was the standout performer, hammering 70 off just 26 balls and putting the game beyond Hyderabadβs reach within the first 10 overs. He has been in red-hot form for LSG, with his last five scores reading 48*(26), 61 (27), 75 (29), 75 (30), and 70 (26). Mitchell Marsh is another key player to keep an eye on. He smashed 52 off 31 in the last match, setting the foundation for the chase. If LSG wants to keep the momentum going, both Pooran and Marsh need to fire. Rishabh Pant and David Miller havenβt made a huge mark yet, but theyβve spent enough time at the crease to suggest a big knock might be coming soon. Lucknowβs bowling unit was impressive in their last outing. Shardul Thakur has been a game-changer, already picking up six wickets in two games. Young pacer Prince Yadav held his own, conceding just 29 runs in four overs while picking up a wicket. Ravi Bishnoi remains a potent threat in the middle overs and can change the course of a match in no time. Punjab Kings Preview Punjab Kings have only played one game so far but made a strong statement in that outing. They took down Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad, putting up a massive 243-5 and keeping the hosts to 232-5 in a high-scoring contest. Shreyas Iyer made an immediate impact for his new team, hammering an unbeaten 97 off just 42 balls. Priyansh Arya (47 off 23) and Shashank Singh (44* off 16) also made valuable contributions with the bat. Punjab’s batting lineup looks dangerous this season. With Shreyas at number three and the firepower of Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell in the middle order, they have a unit that can take apart any bowling attack. Shashank Singh, who played a quickfire knock in the opener, adds even more depth as a finisher. His ability to go hard from the start makes him a game-changer for Punjab. Weather Conditions The pitch at the Ekana Cricket Stadium wonβt be an outright belter but it would be good for batting like most Indian surfaces. However, Ekana does tend to slow down in the middle overs, which brings the spinners into the mix. If dew sets in, however, spinners might struggle to grip the ball and go for runs. The weather in Lucknow will be warm and humid, but since there is no sign of rain, we will have a full match. LSG vs PBKS Pitch Report The average first innings score at the Ekana Cricket Stadium is 166. Last season, the highest score posted at the venue was Kolkata Knight Ridersβ 235-6 versus Lucknow Super Giants, a game they won by 98 runs. That, incidentally, was the only 200+ score achieved at Ekana in IPL 2024 across 14 innings. Toss: To Bowl Chasing might be the better option at the Ekana Cricket Stadium as batting becomes easier in the second innings when dew sets in. In IPL 2024, four of the seven games played at this venue were won by the chasing side.
Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction
πππππ :ββββ Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings ππππ : March 30, Sunday ππππ : 17:30 PM IST πππππ : Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati, India ππππππππππ : Indian Premier League, 2025 Must-win game for Rajasthan Royals after back-to-back losses Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings 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. RR vs CSK Match Prediction & Analysis We are over with the first round of games in the Indian Premier League 2025. The Rajasthan Royals will be under immense pressure as they face the Chennai Super Kings in the 11th game of the season. In their last game, the Royals suffered a crushing defeat against the Kolkata Knight Riders. The Chennai Super Kings also went down against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the last game and shall look for a strong comeback. The Rajasthan Royals’ bowling attack has been all over the place in two games. They haven’t troubled the batters, lowering their confidence in the camp. The side must get its acts together in this game. The Chennai Super Kings have a strong bowling attack and depth in the batting. The Royals must win here to regain their confidence, and it will be interesting to see if they are up for the task. TEAMS PREVIEW Rajasthan Royals Preview Riyan Parag and his team will face the heat headlining into their 3rd game. The team has suffered big losses in its two games and went down by 8 wickets against the Kolkata Knight Riders. The bowling attack looks rusty, and this will be a massive challenge for the team against the Super Kings’ batting depth. Parag must inspire confidence in his players and win here to earn their first points. Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal didn’t look at their best in the last two games, and the onus will be on them to deliver a good start. The middle order packs a punch, and the team needs a good show from Riyan Parag, Shimron Hetmyer, and Nitish Rana. Wanindu Hasaranga, Dhruv Jurel, and Shubham Dubey can hit the ball cleanly, and they will look to add quick runs. The bowling attack will be under pressure after ordinary performances in back-to-back games. Fazalhaq Farooqi, who replaces Jofra Archer, must bowl a good spell with Maheesh Theekshana. Hasaranga must bring his experience to play and do well in the middle overs with Parag and Sandeep Sharma. The side will also expect a good show in the supporting role from Nitish Rana and Tushar Deshpande. Chennai Super Kings Preview Ruturaj Gaikwad’s side suffered an uncharacteristic loss in their last game against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The team went down by 50 runs after their strong batting lineup failed to deliver the goods. Gaikwad would like to put this loss behind and come up with a strong show in this game. Their opponents are struggling, and CSK will look to exploit this weakness. Rachin Ravindra and Rahul Tripathi will look to take on Rajasthan’s new-ball attack, which has struggled so far. The middle order failed in the last game, and the team expects partnerships between Ruturaj Gaikwad, Deepak Hooda, and Sam Curran. They have depth in the batting and shall expect quick runs from Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni, and Ravichandran Ashwin in the lower middle order. The bowling attack didn’t use the conditions well in the last game, and the team needs early strikes from Khaleel Ahmed and Ravichandran Ashwin. Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran must keep things in check in the middle overs. Matheesha Pathirana, Shivam Dube, and Noor Ahmed add depth to the attack. Weather Conditions We expect clear skies over Guwahati. The batting surface will be flat, where batsmen can play their strokes. There is a hint of slowness on this track, which offers an advantage to the spinners. The average first-inning score has been around 173 runs, and the team batting first would be happy to have 190 runs on the board. RR vs CSK Pitch Report Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati, is large and not the easiest venue for scoring big. Fast bowlers get assistance from the surface early in the game. Batsmen who build their innings have done well. Spinners, who turn the ball sharply, have done well at this venue. Toss: To Bowl The conditions are challenging for the batsmen in the first 10 overs but ease in the second half. The side chasing the score has won the last two games easily. Dew also plays a role in the evening when bowling gets tougher. The side winning the toss would look to bowl first on this track.
Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction
πππππ :ββββ Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad ππππ : March 30, Sunday ππππ : 15:30 PM IST πππππ : Dr. Y.S.Rajashekar Reddy Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam, India ππππππππππ : Indian Premier League, 2025 KL Rahul is expected to be available for Delhi Capitals against Sunrisers Hyderabad after missing their first game. Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad 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 SRH Match Prediction & Analysis Delhi Capitals (DC) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) face off in the 10th match of IPL 2025 in Visakhapatnam. DC kicked off their campaign with a tight victory at this very venue, which should give them a morale boost. SRH, on the other hand, started strong but stumbled in their second outing with an unexpected home loss. Theyβll be eager to bounce back, but Delhi wonβt go down without a fight. This one promises to be a thrilling battle. RECENT PERFORMANCE TEAMS PREVIEW Delhi Capitals Preview Delhi Capitals kicked off their IPL 2025 campaign with a nail-biting victory over Lucknow Super Giants. Chasing 210 in Visakhapatnam, they found themselves struggling at 113-6 in 12.3 overs. But a stunning rescue act from Ashutosh Sharma (66* off 31) and young gun Vipraj Nigam (39 off 15) carried them over the line in the final over with just one wicket in hand. For their next game, Delhi will be looking for more from their top and middle order. Jake Fraser-McGurk, Faf du Plessis, and Abishek Porel couldnβt quite deliver in the previous match but have to do better here. Du Plessis has the experience to anchor an innings, but McGurk is unpredictableβheβll either blast a quickfire 40 or fall cheaply. On a positive note, KL Rahul is expected to return after missing the first game. His presence in the middle brings much-needed stability to a batting lineup that looks fragile. The team will also be counting on Ashutosh Sharma to continue his heroics as a finisher. Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview After a strong opening win against Rajasthan Royals, Sunrisers Hyderabad looked set to continue their scintillating form. However, their momentum was halted by an unexpected loss to an understrength Lucknow Super Giants. Batting first on a favorable Hyderabad surface, SRH could only manage 190-9, a total LSG chased down with ease in just 16.1 overs. Travis Head (47 off 28) was the only batter to get going, while the rest struggled, falling in quick succession while trying to attack every delivery. This is the risk of SRHβs high-risk approachβwhen their top three fire, they can blow teams away with massive scores. But if they donβt, the batting collapses fast. Abhishek Sharma is a crucial player in this lineup. If he gets through the initial overs, he can take the game away. Heinrich Klaasen was unfortunate to be run out in the last match, and he looks due for a big innings this time. Weather Conditions This pitch tends to favor spinners, with the ball keeping low and making things tougher for batters in the second innings. That being said, recent matches at this venue have seen high totals, with batters making the most of favorable conditions. The weather will be hot and humid in the afternoon, but it will cool down a little during the evening. There is no forecast of rain so we will get a full match. DC vs SRH Pitch Report Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium usually sees teams batting first put up around 168 runs. However, last season painted a different picture with the pitch offering plenty for the batters. The two matches played here saw first-innings scores soar to 191-5 and an astonishing 272-7. In IPL 2025βs first game at this ground, Lucknow Super Giants set a target of 209-8, but Delhi Capitals successfully chased it down in the final over. Both teams will be eyeing a score of over 200 runs in this match. If SRH bat first, however, even 250 can be breached. Toss: To Bat This is an afternoon game, and batting first would be the preferred option for both teams.
New Zealand vs Pakistan, PAK vs NZ 2025, Today Match Prediction
πππππ :βββ New Zealand vs Pakistanππππ : March 29, Saturdayππππ : 03:30 AM ISTπππππ : Mclean Park, Napier, New Zealand ππππππππππ :1st ODI 2025 Will the return of Pakistan’s big guns be enough to prevent another New Zealand victory? New Zealand vs Pakistan 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. NZ vs PAK Match Prediction & Analysis New Zealand won the T20I series 4-1 and were dominant across all four of their victories, proving to be way too strong for Pakistan in home conditions. Most pundits expect the hosts to be too strong once again in this ODI series but they should have tougher contests with the two top Pakistan players from this generation – Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam returning to the side. However, the ‘Men in Green’ will be without Haris Rauf and Shaheen Shah Afridi, arguably two of their top pace bowling options, who have not been selected in the squad for this leg of the tour. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview As with the T20Is, New Zealand will not be at full strength but they will still be able to put out a team full of talent and with plenty of experience in these home conditions in Napier. However, there is no place for keeper-batter Tim Seifert who top scored for New Zealand in the successful five-match T20I series earlier this month. In his place, we can expect the likes of captain Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman and Daryl Mitchell to be the main run-scorers in this first ODI with Bracewell, along with Jacob Duffy and Will O’Rourke spearheading the bowling attack. Consistent opener Will Young had been added to the squad but he has since pulled out due to paternity leave and Rhys Mariu is chomping at the bit to get his opportunity at international level for the first time. Pakistan Preview Most ODI sides in the world would benefit from the skills and consistency that Babar Azam and captain Mohammad Rizwan bring to a team and Pakistan will be no different in this game. However, Babar has not been in great form, being dismissed in the 20s in both of his last games but he did at least hit 64 runs against New Zealand in his last but one innings in this format. With Haris Rauf and Shaheen Shah Afridi vacating the scene, this game gives plenty of opportunities for some of the fringe players to make a name for themseves in this series. Pakistan do have the ability to win this game but it is their recent form across all formats which will be the most worrying. Weather Conditions There could be a short sharp shower at one stage in the early afteroon, but overall it will be very warm throughout this game in Napier on Saturday. NZ vs PAK Pitch Report Napier has always been one of those grounds where scoring runs is not all that difficult. The overhead conditions should make it more comfortable for the top order to contribute throughout the innings but we still expect to see New Zealand come out on top! Toss: To Bowl With plenty of opportunity for batting over the three ODIs, we predict that both teams will want to bat first ahead of this opening ODI of the series and try to bat the other team out of the game.
Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction
πππππ :βββ Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians ππππ : March 29, Saturdayππππ : 19:30 PM ISTπππππ : Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, India ππππππππππ : Indian Premier League, 2025 Gujarat Titans have dominated Mumbai Indians at the Narendra Modi Stadium, winning all three matches played between them at this venue. Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru 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. GT vs MI Match Prediction & Analysis Gujarat Titans (GT) and Mumbai Indians (MI) will clash in the ninth match of IPL 2025 in Ahmedabad. Both sides are coming off losses in their first games and will be eager to grab their first points. The previous match at this venue saw over 450 runs being scored in 40 overs, and a similar high-scoring contest is expected. The team that attacks with the bat more aggressively is likely to gain the upper hand on this batting-friendly surface. TEAMS PREVIEW Gujarat Titans Preview Gujarat Titans started their campaign with a tough 11-run loss to Punjab Kings. The Narendra Modi Stadium played host to a run-fest, with Punjab smashing 243-5 after being sent in to bat. Gujarat fought hard in reply but couldnβt get over the line. Sai Sudharsan (74 off 41) and Jos Buttler (54 off 33) were the bright spots with the bat. Shubman Gill also got off to a fast start but couldnβt convert it into a big score. However, his record at this venue is outstandingβhe has nearly 1,000 runs in 19 matches at the venue, including three centuries. Gill will be expected to step up in this game. GTβs lower middle order looks unreliable, with Shahrukh Khan, Sai Kishore, and Arshad Khan filling those slots. If Gujarat loses wickets early, they could be in serious trouble. Bowling is another area of concern. Mohammed Siraj struggled in the previous fixture, conceding 54 runs in his four-over spell. Kagiso Rabada is their most reliable pacer, but he canβt do it alone. Rashid Khan also had an off day, going for 48 runs in his four overs. The only standout was Sai Kishore, who picked up three wickets for 30. Gujaratβs bowling needs to step up, or theyβll have a tough time in the tournament. Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians didnβt have the best start to their IPL 2025 campaign, falling short in their opener against Chennai Super Kings. The low-scoring match at Chepauk saw Mumbai struggle on a sluggish pitch, with Tilak Varmaβs 31 being the highest contribution. The final total of 155-9 wasnβt enough, as CSK chased it down without much trouble. Ahmedabadβs conditions, however, should be far more favorable for Mumbaiβs batting lineup. With players like Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton, Will Jacks, and Suryakumar Yadav, theyβll be eager to make an impact on a pitch suited for stroke play. Adding to their strength is the return of captain Hardik Pandya, who had to sit out the first game due to an over-rate penalty from the previous season. Having played for Gujarat in 2022 and 2023, Pandya knows this surface inside out and can contribute with both bat and ball. Mumbaiβs bowling attack will look to make early inroads with Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar leading the charge. Left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner is expected to control the run flow in the middle overs while also providing wicket-taking opportunities. Meanwhile, young left-arm wrist-spinner Vignesh Puthur, who impressed with 3-32 on debut, could again play a crucial role. Weather Conditions The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium will be a flat deck. In the previous game here, we saw batters making merry and hitting through the line with ease. There is hardly any assistance for fast bowlers and both teams will be looking to make as many runs as possible off them. Spinners will find some grip in the middle, but it wonβt be much of an issue. The pitch will stay true throughout. The weather in Ahmedabad will be warm and clear with no forecast of rain. GT vs MI Pitch Report In the previous game played at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Punjab Kings amassed 243-5 after batting first and Gujarat Titans scored 232-5 in response β thatβs a total of 475 runs in 40 overs! Expect another run-fest at the venue with more than 420 runs on the cards. Toss: To Bat In the previous game played at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the team batting first registered a comfortable win. Batting first, hence, seems to be to safer option here.
Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru, IPLT20, Today Match Predictionβ
πππππ :βββ Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluruππππ : March 28, Fridayππππ : 19:30 PM ISTπππππ : M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, Indiaβππππππππππ : IPLT20 2025β Chennai Super Kings have lost just one game out of nine against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Chepauk. Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru 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. CSK vs RCB Match Prediction & Analysis Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) lock horns in what promises to be a thrilling battle at the MA Chidambaram Stadium for match eight of IPL 2025. Both teams head into this clash with confidence after securing wins in their opening games. While CSK have often had the upper hand in past encounters, RCB appear more well-rounded this season. Expect a high-intensity showdown with both sides pushing for an early edge in the tournament. TEAMS PREVIEW Chennai Super Kings Preview Chennai Super Kings (CSK) kicked off their IPL 2025 campaign with a solid win over long-time rivals Mumbai Indians. Playing on a typical slow Chepauk surface, their spinners kept MI in check, limiting them to 155-9. The chase wasnβt without hiccups, but CSK reached the target with four wickets in hand and five balls remaining. Rachin Ravindra anchored the innings with a composed 65 off 45 deliveries, while skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad provided early momentum with a brisk 53 off 26. Apart from their contributions, the batting lineup struggled, yet the team managed to get the job done. CSK will once again count on strong starts from Rachin and Gaikwad. Gaikwad, in particular, has a great record at Chepauk and will be counted on to deliver. Shivam Dube is expected to take on RCBβs spinners in the middle phase, while Vijay Shankar could be considered in place of Deepak Hooda to stabilize the middle order. Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview Royal Challengers Bengaluru made a strong statement in their season opener, pulling off a convincing win against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders on their own turf. They kept KKR to 174-8 and then chased it down comfortably in 16.2 overs, losing only three wickets along the way. Bengaluru delivered in all departments, with Philip Salt (56 off 31) and Virat Kohli (59* off 36) putting on a batting masterclass at the top to make things easy in the chase. Rajat Patidar played his part as well, smashing 34 off just 16 balls to seal the victory. Their top order looks solid with Kohli, Salt, Patidar, and Liam Livingstone, while Jitesh Sharma, Tim David, and Krunal Pandya provide depth in the middle and lower order. Josh Hazlewood could be a game-changer for RCB this season. The Australian pacer was outstanding against KKR, picking up 2-22, and will enjoy bowling at Chepauk. Krunal Pandyaβs 3-29 played a decisive role in the previous match, making him a key asset on slower tracks. RCB will also count on Suyash Sharma, Livingstone, and Yash Dayal to pick up wickets in the middle overs. Weather Conditions Chepauk will offer a spin-friendly surface as we saw in the first game here, which becomes slower in the second innings. Batters will look to maximize the powerplay overs because once the ball loses its shine, it will start to turn and grip more. Spinners will have a field day and are likely to bowl the maximum number of overs. The weather in Chennai will be hot and humid but clear. CSK vs RCB Pitch Report Chepaukβs average first-innings score is 159. In the first match of IPL 2025 played at the venue, MI scored 155-9 after batting first, and CSK chased the target down in 19.1 overs with four wickets in hand. Expect another slowish surface with plenty of assistance to spinners. The team batting first will target a score of around 170-180 to feel confident. Toss: To Bat Batting first is usually the better option at Chepauk, unless the team is bundled out for a below-par score. The wicket slows down over time, making it harder to chase later in the game.
Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction
πππππ :β Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants ππππ : March 27, Thursday ππππ : 19:30 PM IST πππππ : Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad, India ππππππππππ : IPLT20 2025 When Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants last met in the IPL 2024, SRH won by 10 wickets. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants 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. SRH vs LSG Match Prediction & Analysis The seventh game of IPL 2025 will see Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Hyderabad. The Sunrisers have started their campaign with a bang and are looking like one of the most dangerous sides in the tournament. The injury-riddled Lucknow, meanwhile, lost an agonizingly close game to Delhi Capitals the other night and will be ruing their missed opportunities. TEAMS PREVIEW Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview Sunrisers Hyderabad began their IPL 2025 campaign with a comprehensive 44-run win over Rajasthan Royals at Hyderabad. On a flat road of a wicket, SRH blasted 286-6 in their 20 overs β the second-highest IPL team total ever β courtesy of spectacular performances by Ishan Kishan (106* off 47) and Travis Head (67 off 31). This will be the template for this power-packed SRH side throughout this season β they will blow away their opponents with a relentless assault and massive scores. And they have the tools to pull this off as well with the dangerous Abhishek Sharma and Head at the top, followed by the equally destructive Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen in the middle. To top it off, they also have Nitish Reddy to balance things out in case of a collapse. Lucknow Super Giants Preview Lucknow Super Giants suffered a heartbreaking loss in their opening IPL 2025 encounter to Delhi Capitals. Batting first at Visakhapatnam, they put on a healthy 209-8 with sparkling fifties from Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran. They had Delhi reeling at 65-5 at one stage and were looking all set for victory before Ashutosh Sharma stole the game away from them to clinch a 1-wicket victory for the Capitals. Lucknow would be ruing their missed chances in the game. They were 161-2 at one stage from 13.3 overs but a batting collapse meant they ended up much below what they could have achieved. The likes of Rishabh Pant, Ayush Badoni, and David Miller will need to step up in this game. Weather Conditions The pitch at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium will be a flat deck. Itβs a bowler’s graveyard with virtually no movement or grip on offer. The ball will come at a nice height and pace for the batters to just smash through the line. Plus, the short boundaries here will mean plenty of fours and sixes throughout. The weather in Hyderabad will be warm and humid, but there is no forecast of rain, so we will get a full game. SRH vs LSG Pitch Report In the first IPL 2025 match played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Sunrisers Hyderabad blasted 286-6 after batting first against Rajasthan Royals, who themselves scored 242-6 in the chase. This shows this will be another high-scoring game. If SRH bat first here, they will be targeting another 250+ score β even 300 is on the cards with their batting! If Lucknow bat first, they will be eyeing a score of around 2220-230 here. Toss: To Bat Win the toss and bat first should be the way to go in the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. As we saw in the first match here, it is a great batting track and teams batting first can post huge scores to kill the game there itself.
New Zealand Women vs Australia Women, NZ-W vs AUS-W 2025, Today Match Prediction
πππππ :βΒ New Zealand Women vs Australia Women βππππ : March 26, Wednesdayππππ : 07:15 AM ISTπππππ : Sky Stadium, Wellington, New Zealand ππππππππππ : 3rdT20 2025 Australia Women target a clean-sweep in the third and final T20I against New Zealand women on Wednesday. New Zealand Women vs Australia 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. NZW vs AUSW Match Prediction & Analysis Australia Women have been the dominant force in cricket over the last three decades and their record over New Zealand Women is also nothing short of dominant in that time! As such, there has been no great surprise from either team management or supporters that Australia Women have dominated both of the first two T20Is so far in this series. All against the backdrop of New Zealand Women being the T20 World Champions and hosting this three game series! With the series already in the bag ahead of this final act in Wellington at the Sky Stadium, New Zealand Women will be playing for pride but getting a win will be a very tough assignment as Australia Women do not like to give any team a rest. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview As one-sided games of T20 cricket go, the second T20I at Mount Maunganui was one where New Zealand Women never looked like winning. By the time the second over was completed, New Zealand Women had conceded 22 runs without taking a wicket and the narrative for the game was well and truly in place. Of the bowling unit, only Jess Kerr (1/39), Amelia Kerr (1/27) and Suzie Bates (0/16) managed to keep their economy rates in single figures and it could well be that skipper Bates chooses to introduce Amelia Kerr into the bowling attack much earlier this time around. With the bat, chasing 205 was always going to be a tough ask but the White Ferns made a go of it with all of the top three, Bates, Georgia Plimmer and Kerr scoring runs with strike-rates between 111.11 and 171.42. Australia Preview The mark of any strong side is one who get the upper-hand early on and then never let it go and this is exactly what Australia Women did in the second T20I against New Zealand Women with a brilliant batting display which then made life very easy for their bowlers! Once again, opening the innings, keeper-batter Beth Mooney was a class apart and too good for New Zealand Women’s bowlers. After she took the Player of the Match Award with 75 not out from 42 balls on Friday, she produced nearly a carbon copy of the innings with 70 runs from 42 balls before she was dismissed by Amelia Kerr. Mooney will have her eye on bringing up 200+ runs in the series with another big score to conclude the three games but the whole batting line-up is very strong as seen by Ellyse Perry hitting 29 not out from 15 balls at number four and Annabel Sutherland finishing the innings with 23 not out from 15 deliveries. Weather Conditions It will be a pleasant day in Wellington with no danger of rain and the temperature no higher than 20 degrees during the contest. Humidity levels will be constant at around 70% from start to finish. NZW vs AUSW Pitch Report There is always good bounce and pace in the wicket at the Sky Stadium which means the batters can play their shots without any worries of misbehaviour from the surface. Whoever bats first will be targeting a total of 180+. Toss: To Bowl From 2019 onwards there have been two victories for the team batting first and two wins for the team fielding first at the Sky Stadium in Women’s T20I games. The conditions are unlikely to change much across the afternoon of the match so we predict that both teams will want to bowl first then chase.

RR vs KKR Match Prediction & Analysis The Indian Premier League 2025 has got off to a flying start. As we head into the second round of games, the Rajasthan Royals will take on the Kolkata Knight Riders in the 6th match. Both teams have lost their opening games and shall start the game under immense pressure. The Rajasthan Royals lost to the Sunrisers Hyderabad after a poor bowling performance, while the Kolkata Knight Riders lost against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The Rajasthan Royals will be under pressure in this game after conceding 286 runs against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. The bowling attack lacks the biting teeth, which puts the team under pressure. The Kolkata Knight Riders have a strong bowling attack with two of the best spinners in the tournament. It is a must-win game for both teams to get their campaign back on track, and we expect a thrilling contest. TEAMS PREVIEW Rajasthan Royals Preview It was an absolute carnage for Riyan Parag and his men in the last game against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. The bowling attack went for a leather hunt, conceding 286 runs, the second-highest score in the IPL. Parag would like to draw a few positives from the strong counter-attack by his batters but needs a better performance from his bowling unit to win this game. Sanju Samson was in his full flow in the last game, and he will look to deliver an electrifying start in this game with Yashasvi Jaiswal. Riyan Parag and Nitish Rana missed out in the last game and will look to build partnerships in the middle order with Dhruv Jurel, who played a good knock. Shimron Hetmyer and Shubham Dubey are good strikers, and the team expects quick runs in the lower middle order. The bowling attack was taken to the cleaners in the last game and needs to rethink its strategy and approach. Fazalhaq Farooqi and Maheesh Theekshana must strike early and keep the scoring rate under check. Jofra Archer must overcome his poor show in the last game and bowl better lines in the middle overs with Sandeep Sharma. The team needs Nitish Rana and Tushar Deshpande to do well in the supporting roles. Kolkata Knight Riders Preview Ajinkya Rahane and his men would look to put the upset in the last game against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. They made 20 runs less than the par score on that wicket and didn’t trouble the RCB batters with the ball. Their opponents struggled with the ball in the last game, and Rahane would like to exploit and earn their first points for the season. Quinton de Kock missed out on the last game and must have delivered a good start with Sunil Narine, who looked in good form. Ajinkya Rahane batted well in the last game and must do well in the middle order with Venkatesh Iyer and Angkrish Raghuvanshi. Rinku Singh and Andre Russell failed in the last game, and the team expects a good show from them in the lower middle order. The bowling attack didn’t hit its mark in the last game. Vaibhav Arora and Spencer Johnson struggled with the new ball, and they will look to bowl better lines in the next game. Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy are key bowlers for the team, and they must do well in middle overs. Harshit Rana and Andre Russell must deliver strong performances in the supporting roles. Weather Conditions We expect clear skies over Guwahati and a flat batting surface where batsmen can score easily. Bowlers have their chances on this surface as it occasionally surprises the batters. The average first-inning score has been around 171 runs, and the team batting first would be happy to have 190 runs on the board. RR vs KKR Pitch Report Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati, is large and not the easiest venue for scoring big. Fast bowlers get assistance from the surface early in the game. Batsmen who build their innings have done well. Spinners, who turn the ball sharply, have done well at this venue. Toss: To Bowl The conditions are challenging for the batsmen initially, but they ease as the game progresses. Teams chasing scores have won more games at this venue in the past. Both captains will take a cue from the past results and look to bowl first.
New Zealand vs Pakistan, PAK vs NZ 2025, Today Match Prediction
πππππ :βΒ New Zealand vs Pakistan ππππ : March 26, Wednesday ππππ : 11:45 AM IST πππππ : Sky Stadium, Wellington, New Zealand ππππππππππ : 5th T20 2025 Fifth & Final: Can Pakistan Salvage Some Pride Against Clinical New Zealand? New Zealand vs Pakistan 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. NZ vs PAK Match Prediction & Analysis Exploiting the seam and swing on offer at Mount Maunganui backed by a powerful batting display and disciplined bowling effort, New Zealand outplayed Pakistan in all departments to take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match T20I series. The final game of the five-match T-20 series will be played at Sky Stadium, Wellington, on 26 March from 11:45 a.m. onwards. The Kiwis’ 115-run victory in the fourth game showcased their dominance, sealing the series with one match to spare. Put into bat, the Black Caps got off to a flying start with Finn Allen smashing a blistering 50 off just 20 balls, while Tim Seifert added momentum with a quickfire 44 off 22. Michael Bracewell provided the perfect finish, remaining unbeaten on 46 off 26 deliveries, as New Zealand piled up a formidable total of 220, setting the tone for a dominant outing. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview It never looked like the Kiwis were playing in the absence of the core team. Tim Seifert will open the innings with Finn Allen. Seifert is the leading run-scorer of the tournament with 152 runs at a strike rate of 185. He will be the batter to watch out for. On the other hand, Allen scored a 20-ball half-century in the last game. He has a strike rate of 208. Mark Chapman will come at number three. Chapman is the second-leading run-scorer with 119 runs at a strike rate of 180. Daryl Mitchell will come in the middle with James Nisham and Mitchell Hay. The Kiwi middle-order has got fewer chances as their top-order has done the job for the win. Mitchell has 60 runs at a strike rate of 125 in four games. Neesham has failed to score with the bat but has picked up three wickets in three games. If the top-order fails, the Kiwi middle-order will have a huge task to stop the Pakistani bowling attack. Pakistan Preview Nobody imagined that Pakistan would be bowled out to 105 after posting 200-plus runs in the third game. Mohammad Haris will open the innings with Hasan Nawaz. Haris has 52 runs in three games. Hasan Nawaz scored a fiery knock of 105 runs in the third game. But he has just one run in the remaining three games. Salman Agha will come at number three. He is their leading run-scorer with 116 runs in four games. Shadab Khan will come in the middle with Khushdil Shah and Abdul Samad. Khan has failed to perform with both bat and bowl. With bat, he has 30 runs and has picked up just one wicket in four games. The same is the case of Khushdil Shah who has 40 runs with the bat and a wicket with the ball. Samad played a crucial knock of 44 runs in the last game. Haris Rauf will lead the bowling unit with Shaheen Afridi and Abrar Ahmed. Rauf is Pakistanβs leading wicket-taker with 8 wickets at an average below 10. He will be the bowler to watch out for. Ahmed has picked up 5 wickets with two in the last game. But Afridi has just two wickets in four games which is a huge concern for the visitors. Hopefully, he bounces back from the failure in the last game. Weather Conditions The weather at Wellington is expected to be cloudy on match day, with temperatures ranging between 16 and 20 degrees Celsius. Winds will blow from the southeast at 8-14 km/h. The Westpac Stadium uses a drop-in pitch like most venues in New Zealand. As with a majority of the drop-in pitches, it tends to side with the batsmen. NZ vs PAK Pitch Report The game will be played at Sky Stadium, Wellington, on 26 March from 11:45 a.m. onwards. The stadium has a capacity of 37000 spectators and has hosted 31 ODIs and 22 T20Is. Due to its shape and silver-colored external walls, it is colloquially known as “The Cake Tin” Toss: To Bowl In 22 games played here, the results have favored teams chasing the target on 12 occasions. The average first-innings score is 153, with the highest total of 219. The team winning the toss should bowl first.
