The match ended up in a draw as North West managed to score 189 runs in return for the loss of just one wicket. Boland played against Western Province in their last game. Bowling first, Shaun Von Berg took six wickets, but the lack of support from the other end saw Western Province score 592 runs at the time of the declaration. Boland scored 318 runs in return, with Peter Malan and Clyde Fortuin scoring centuries. The match ended in a draw. This was Bolandβs fourth draw in a row. TEAMS PREVIEW Titans Preview Brayden Hicks will open the innings with Merrick Brett. Brett has 38 runs in 6 innings at an average of 6. But he has picked up 13 wickets with the ball at an average of 27. Keegan Petersen will come at number three. Peterson scored a century in the last game.

Lhuan-dre Pretorius has played just four innings so far, in which he has scored 285 runs at an average of 71.25 with two centuries and a half-century. He will be the batter to watch out for. Junior Dala will lead the bowling attack with Matthew Boast, Lesego Kokohlabana, and skipper Neil Brand. Dala has 16 wickets at an average of 19 – the lowest among the bowlers. He will be the bowler to watch out for. Boast has also picked up 14 wickets at an average of 26. Kokohlabana has bowled in just one innings, in which he picked up three wickets.

Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction
πππππ :ββββ Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians ππππ : April 04, Friday 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 Mumbai Indians in the IPL, losing just one game to them out of six encounters. Kolkata Knight Riders 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. LSG vs MI Match Prediction & Analysis The 16th match of IPL 2025 will see Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Mumbai Indians (MI) battle it out on Thursday in Lucknow. Neither team has been at their best so far, with just one win in three games. LSG endured a rough loss in their last home fixture, which could have shaken them a bit. MI, on the other hand, finally picked up their first victory and will be looking to build on that by pushing LSG to the limit. TEAMS PREVIEW Lucknow Super Giants Preview After a dominant win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their second match, Lucknow Super Giants seemed to have found their rhythm. But their momentum took a hit when Punjab Kings handed them a crushing eight-wicket defeat at home, dropping them to sixth in the standings. Batting first on a good surface at Ekana, LSG could only manage 171-7, a total that Punjab chased with ease in just 16.2 overs. The loss exposed some gaps in their squad, particularly in the batting lineup. Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran have been carrying most of the burden, and when one of them fails, the rest of the unit struggles to step up. This was evident in the previous game, where Pooran couldnβt deliver, and LSG paid the price. Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians finally got their first win of the season after back-to-back losses, delivering a commanding performance against Kolkata Knight Riders at home. Their bowlers set the tone early, rolling KKR out for just 117 on a batting-friendly Wankhede track. The chase was a walk in the park, with MI getting the job done in just 12.5 overs. Ryan Rickelton led the charge with a flawless 62* off 41, while Suryakumar Yadav chipped in with a blistering 27 off just 9. Surya has now racked up 104 runs in three games at a rapid strike rate of 165. Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya bring balance to the middle order and can shift gears when needed. Thereβs also Naman Dhir, along with all-rounders Mitchell Santner and Deepak Chahar, who give MI added batting depth. Weather Conditions The surface at Ekana Cricket Stadium wonβt be the kind where batters can go all out from the start, but it should still offer plenty of scoring opportunities. As the game progresses, the pitch tends to lose some pace, making spin a bigger factor in the middle overs. Batting usually gets smoother in the second innings, thanks to the dew that helps the ball come onto the bat better. Lucknowβs weather will be warm and humid, but with no rain expected, there shouldn’t be any interruptions to the game. LSG vs MI Pitch Report Ekana Cricket Stadium typically sees first innings scores around 166. During last season’s IPL, Kolkata Knight Riders set the highest total at this ground with 235-6 against Lucknow Super Giants, cruising to a 98-run victory. Interestingly, that remained the only 200+ score in 14 innings throughout IPL 2024. Judging by the opening match at Ekana in IPL 2025, teams will want to aim for 190-200 runs to feel comfortable defending their total. Toss: To Bowl Chasing will be the better option at the Ekana Cricket Stadium as batting becomes easier in the second innings when dew sets in. This is exactly what happened in the last game played here as Punjab Kings chased down a target of 172 in just 16.2 overs against LSG.
Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction
πππππ :ββββ Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad βππππ : April 03, Thursdayππππ : 19:30 PM ISTπππππ : Eden Gardens, Kolkata, India ππππππππππ : Indian Premier League, 2025 Kolkata Knight Riders have been unbeaten against Sunrisers Hyderabad over the last four encounters. Kolkata Knight Riders 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. KKR vs SRH Match Prediction & Analysis Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will face off in the 15th match of IPL 2025 this Thursday in Kolkata, with both teams struggling to find form. Last seasonβs finalists have had a rough start, each securing just one win from three games and sitting in the lower half of the standings. KKR will look to turn things around at home, while SRH will rely on their powerful batting lineup to step up after back-to-back disappointing performances. TEAMS PREVIEW Kolkata Knight Riders Preview Kolkata Knight Riders have struggled to string together good performances this season. They suffered two heavy defeats but managed a win against a Rajasthan Royals side that has been far from convincing. Their most recent outing saw them crumble against Mumbai Indians, losing by eight wickets at Wankhede. Batting first, they collapsed for just 117 on a pitch that had plenty to offer. Mumbai made light work of the chase, wrapping things up in only 12.5 overs. Such a heavy defeat is bound to leave the team rattled, and bouncing back wonβt be easy. Their biggest concern is their shaky batting lineup. If Quinton de Kock departs early, the rest of the order doesnβt inspire much confidence. Sunil Narine is yet to settle into his opening role, while Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, and Andre Russell have struggled for form. Angkrish Raghuvanshi has shown promise, but his quickfire knocks need to translate into bigger scores, especially with others failing to deliver. Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview Sunrisers Hyderabad made a fiery start to the season, smashing their way past opponents with fearless batting. But that same aggressive mindset has cost them in back-to-back losses, where their much-hyped lineup fell short. This team is a double-edged swordβone day, theyβll blast their way to 240+, and the next, theyβll collapse under their own attacking intent. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma hold the key to SRHβs chances. A strong powerplay start from the two is essential for the team’s chances, and while Abhishek has been out of form in the last three games, heβs too talented to keep failing. Heβs due for a solid knock, and weβre backing him to put up at least 30 runs here at a 200+ strike rate. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen could also be game-changers on this wicket. Both take a few deliveries to get in, but can shift gears quickly once set. Another big positive for SRH has been Aniket Verma. His quickfire 36 (13) and 74 (41) in the last two matches show heβs turning into a lethal lower-order finisher. On the bowling side, Mohammed Shami and Pat Cummins need to step up and find their rhythm early. They havenβt been as effective as expected, leaking runs at crucial moments. Adam Zampa, who is usually dependable, has struggled with his lengths. However, young leg-spinner Zeeshan Ansari impressed in the last game and could be an x-factor on the Eden Gardens surface. Weather Conditions The pitch at the Eden Gardens has been a subject of much debate over the last few days. In the season opener, we got see a really good batting wicket here with something in it for the bowlers as well. KKR, however, are miffed at the curators for not creating a slow pitch that assists their spinners. We might get to see a slower Eden pitch this time given the pressure the groundstaff are under. A belter will play into SRHβs hands. The weather in Kolkata will be slightly warm but cool in the evening. Eden Gardens typically sees an average first-innings score of 167, but last season the venue witnessed eight totals crossing the 200-run mark, showing a shift towards higher-scoring games. The pitch is likely to remain favorable for batters this time around with some help for the pacers and spinners. However, with the groundβs shorter boundaries, teams batting first will aim for a target in the range of 190-200 runs. Toss: To Bowl Chasing is usually the preferred option at Eden Gardens as we saw in the first game how RCB comfortably chased down a target of 175 in 16.2 overs against KKR.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Gujarat Titans, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction
πππππ :ββββRoyal Challengers Bengaluru vs Gujarat Titansβππππ : April 02, Wednesdayππππ : 19:30 PM ISTπππππ :M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, Indiaππππππππππ : Indian Premier League, 2025 Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated Gujarat Titans in both their clashes in IPL 2024. 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. RCB vs GT Match Prediction & Analysis Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) face Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 14th match of IPL 2025 in Bengaluru. RCB have exceeded expectations so far, securing two dominant wins and carrying strong momentum into this home fixture. Gujarat Titans bounced back well after an early setback and will be eager to keep that going. Both teams come in with confidence, but with RCB playing at home and in top form, they head into this clash as the team to beat. TEAMS PREVIEW Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview Royal Challengers Bengaluru couldnβt have asked for a better start to their season. Two away matches, two dominant victoriesβtheyβve set the tone early and look like strong contenders. Their latest win was a commanding 50-run triumph over Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. After putting up 196-7, they kept the hosts to just 146-8. RCBβs batting lineup is in excellent shape, with Virat Kohli, Philip Salt, and Rajat Patidar all looking solid. Patidar has stepped up with crucial performances in both games, while Salt will relish the batting-friendly conditions at Chinnaswamy. An aggressive start from him seems likely. Kohli, who thrives at this venue with an average of over 40, has registered four centuries and 22 fifties here. Another big knock is on the cards. Lower down the order, Jitesh Sharma and Tim David can be counted on for quick runs in the final overs. Batting has always been RCBβs strong suit, but this season, their bowling looks sharp too. Josh Hazlewoodβs inclusion has been a game-changerβfive wickets in two matches at an economy of just 5.37 speak volumes. Bhuvneshwar Kumarβs presence alongside him gives RCB a dependable pace attack in the powerplay. Krunal Pandya, Yash Dayal, and Liam Livingstone add more options in the middle overs, ensuring a balanced attack. Gujarat Titans Preview After falling short in their opening game against Punjab Kings, Gujarat Titans bounced back with a convincing 36-run win over Mumbai Indians at home. They put up a solid 196-8 after batting first and kept MI to 160-6. Sai Sudharsan once again led the charge, scoring a composed 63 off 41 balls. This was his second consecutive fifty, proving his consistency at the top. He has been anchoring the innings well, which makes him a dependable presence. Captain Shubman Gill has been getting starts but hasnβt converted them into a big score yet. Given his current form and the batting-friendly conditions, he looks due for a standout performance soon. Jos Buttler is another batter to keep an eye on. Heβs already scored 54 (off 33) and 39 (off 24) in the tournament and appears set for another impactful knock of 30+ runs at number three. Gujarat’s main concern is their middle and lower order, which hasnβt looked convincing. If early wickets fall, they could be in trouble. Shahrukh Khan and Rahul Tewatia havenβt found their rhythm, and much will depend on how Impact Player Sherfane Rutherford handles the pressure in case of a collapse. Weather Conditions The pitch at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium has always been known to favour batters. The surface here tends to be rather flat, allowing batsmen to play through the line and smash big ones. Spinners do get some help in the middle overs, but since this is the first game of the season to be played at the venue, it is more likely to be a batting paradise with very little for the bowlers. The weather in Bengaluru will be slightly cloudy and cool during the evening, but there is no forecast of rain so we should get a full match. RCB vs GT Pitch Report The average score batting first at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is 168. However, you should expect a high-scoring game here. In IPL 2024, the Chinnaswamy stadium produced the highest team total in the leagueβs history β 287 by Sunrisers Hyderabad versus Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The team batting first would be eyeing a score of around 220-230 in this contest. Toss: To Bat Four of the last five IPL matches at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium have been won by the team batting first. This shows that the venue usually favors setting a target and batting first would be the better choice here.
New Zealand vs Pakistan, PAK vs NZ 2025, Today Match Prediction
πππππ :ββββ New Zealand vs Pakistanππππ : April 02, Wednesday ππππ : 03:30 AM IST πππππ : Seddon Park, Hamilton, New Zealandβππππππππππ : 2nd ODI 2025 Return of Rizwan and Babar Still Sees New Zealand on Top! 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 After a very one-sided T20I series, there was plenty of hope from not just fans of Pakistan cricket but also cricket watchers across the globe that the ODIs would be a more competitive affair. This seemed a likely proposition as Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan were joining up with the Pakistan squad but they were unable to turn the results around and the pair will need to go up another level in this game to bring the series level. Without Shaheen Shah Afridi, Pakistan’s bowlers impressed in the opening game in Napier but ultimately the ten overs from Salman Aghan and Irfan Khan cost 118 runs and the tourists must find a way of filling that fifth bowler gap with a more competitive option. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview New Zealand have been a strong side at home across all formats for many years and they got themselves out of a potentially sticky situation in the last game when they found themselves 50/3 but then kicked on to post 344/9. Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell and Muhammad Abbas were key to turning the innings around and they could well do the same from four, five and six in the order if the top three of Will Young, Nick Kelly and Henry Nicholls fall early once more. Champan comes into this game after hitting 132 on Saturday, his highest ever ODI score and he will be looking forward to taking on the Pakistan bowlers once again after making 94 in the third T20I. Pakistan Preview Pakistan may have been beaten once again on this tour of New Zealand in the opening ODI on Saturday, but there were at least positives to take from the top five in their batting order who did give the team some hope. Equally, it shows just how much pressure there is on the top five as Pakistan were 249/3 during the 39th over in pursuit of 345 before one of the great collapses occurred and they were bowled out for 271! Babar Azam was the first wicket to fall during this flurry of wickets and he will be key after he top scored with 78 runs from 83 balls. Along with Abdullah Shafique, Rizwan and Salman Agha, those four hold the key with the bat. With the ball, Haris Rauf was the most impressive with 2/38 but it is Irfan Khan who will be the leading wicket taker for Pakistan in the series ahead of this ODI. Weather Conditions The forecast suggests that there will be some cloudy spells but also some sunshine poking through across the day. The temperature will be in the mid-low twenties throughout although there could be a rise in humidity levels across the final 5-10 overs. NZ vs PAK Pitch Report Seddon Park is a great venue for ODI cricket and the last game in this format back in January saw scores of 255/9 take on 142 all out. We expect something similar in terms of the bowlers being in the contest and a par score of no more than 300. Toss: To Bat Three of the last four ODIs here at Seddon Park, Hamilton have been won by the team batting first. Therefore, our prediction is that both teams will want to bat first ahead of the game.
Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction
πππππ :ββββ Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders ππππ : March 31, Monday ππππ : 19:30 PM ISTπππππ : Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai City, India ππππππππππ : Indian Premier League, 2025 Kolkata Knight Riders beat Mumbai Indians both times the two teams met in IPL 2024, including once at Wankhede. Mumbai Indians 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. TEAMS PREVIEW Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians are off to a rough start this season, having lost both their matches and finding themselves at the lower end of the table in ninth place. Their latest setback came against Gujarat Titans, where they struggled to chase 197 and ended up with 160-6 in Ahmedabad. The batting unit, which is usually a strong point for MI, hasnβt quite clicked yet. Rohit Sharma is struggling for form, and there are no clear signs of a turnaround. Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma have looked promising at times but havenβt delivered a defining innings so far. Hardik Pandya, meanwhile, found it tough to accelerate in the final overs against Gujarat, with slower cutters keeping him in checkβsomething he will need to adjust to in upcoming games. On the bowling side, Mumbai have looked more settled. Deepak Chahar and Trent Boult will be relied upon to strike early, while Mitchell Santner and Mujeeb Ur Rahman are expected to keep things under control in the middle phase while picking up wickets. Kolkata Knight Riders Preview After a disappointing start against RCB, Kolkata Knight Riders bounced back impressively, defeating Rajasthan Royals by 8 wickets. On a sluggish track in Guwahati, they kept Rajasthan to a modest 151-9 and comfortably chased it down in 17.3 overs. Quinton de Kock anchored the innings with a superb unbeaten 97 off 61 deliveries. De Kockβs return to form is a massive boost for KKR. He can take apart bowling attacks at the top and has the ability to bat deep. Having played plenty of cricket at Wankhede for MI, he knows the conditions well and averages 34 at this venue. Ajinkya Rahane could be another game-changer, given his experience here. He has piled up plenty of runs at this ground over the years. KKRβs batting lineup has solid options, including Venkatesh Iyer, Andre Russell, and Rinku Singh. Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who is expected to come in as an Impact Player, has already caught attention with his impressive performances and could be a game-changer in the upcoming matches. Weather Conditions The pitch at the Wankhede Stadium is usually a flat deck with plenty of runs on offer. However, the ball does move around under lights and seamers will get assistance with the new ball in the first few overs. If batters can successfully negate that period, they can milk the bowling later on. Spinners usually donβt get much turn or grip here and since this will be a fresh pitch, expect it to be hard and the slower bowlers to be carted around. The weather in Mumbai will be extremely humid and warm, but clear of any rain interruptions. MI vs KKR Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Wankhede Stadium is 170. The highest total posted at the venue in the IPL is 235-1 by RCB versus MI back in 2015. Last season, four scores over 200 were posted at the venue, with the highest being Mumbai Indiansβ 234-5 versus Delhi Capitals.Β Toss: To Bat Batting first is usually the safer option at Wankhede. In IPL 2024, four of the seven games played at the venue were won by the team batting first.
Lucknow Super Giants vs Punjab Kings, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction
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.

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.
