𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India Women vs New Zealand Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 29, Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:30 AM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd ODI 2024 The big fight after two competitive games India Women vs New Zealand 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. IND-W vs NZW Match Prediction & Analysis We are all set for a thrilling end to the three-match series, with the two teams level at 1-1 after the first two games. India Women suffered a 76-run loss in the last game to concede the lead to New Zealand Women. Poor bowling and batting from the Indians led to their loss, and the hosts will look to recover from that. The Kiwis will be happy with their form and aim to build on the momentum. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview Harmanpreet Kaur will feel let down by her players in the last game. The batters and bowlers had a poor day at the office in the last game, and the team lost by a big margin. The side has struggled with its consistency in recent months. Their pride is at stake, and Kaur would like her players to mount a strong comeback and win this series. New Zealand Preview Sophie Devine’s team will be confident after their strong comeback in the last game. The team struggled in the first game and performed clinically in the last contest with the bat and the ball. They have put the hosts under pressure, and Devine would like to take advantage of that with a strong show. Weather Conditions The skies over Ahmedabad will be clear, and we expect a good batting surface. There will be a bit of slowness, creating doubt in batters’ minds. These are ideal bowling conditions for the spinners. The average first-inning score at this venue is 220 runs. The side batting first will be happy to have 260 on the board. IND-W vs NZW Pitch Report Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, offers something for the batters and bowlers. The wicket can surprise batters as the slowness makes the ball stop on them. Fast bowlers don’t have much going for them on this track. The ball turns sharply, making it a good track for the spinners. Toss: To Bat In the last two games, we have seen big wins for the teams that have batted first. The wicket was good to bat on in the first innings, and the character was changed in the second half. The team winning the toss won’t hesitate to bat first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Bangladesh vs South Africa𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 29, Tuesday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 09:30 AM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chittagong, Bangladesh𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd Test 2024 Bangladesh are yet to beat South Africa in a Test match. Bangladesh vs South Africa 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. BAN vs RSA Match Prediction & Analysis After securing a commanding win in the first Test versus Bangladesh, the touring South African side will be eager to win the second Test too. A 2-0 win here will boost their chances of qualifying for the World Test Championship final. On the other hand, Bangladesh have plenty to address, especially within their top order, which must step up their game if they aspire to stage a comeback. TEAMS PREVIEW Bangladesh Preview Bangladesh will be sorely disappointed with their performance in the first Test of the series. They were bundled out for 106 in the first innings and were reeling at 112-6 in the second, before Mehidy Hasan Miraz (97) and Jaker Ali (58) helped take them to 307. That still wasn’t enough as South Africa cantered to a 7-wciket win. South Africa Preview South Africa couldn’t have asked for a better start to their white ball tour of Bangladesh. Despite missing regular captain Temba Bavuma and despite having a relatively inexperienced batting unit, they put up a spirited performance to register an emphatic 7-wicket win. Weather Conditions The pitch at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium will favor spinners. However, it won’t be as difficult for batting as the pitch in Dhaka. The first two days of the Tests will be the best time to bat. As the match progresses, the ball will grip the surface and turn more. Seamers too will find movement off the pitch in the morning session. The weather in Chattogram throughout the Test will be hot and humid with sunshine and a few clouds. The sun will beat on hard during the day and players might tire out quickly. There is no forecast of rain so we should get an uninterrupted game. BAN vs RSA Pitch Report The average first innings score at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium is 380. This is more or less what both teams will target in their first innings. It won’t be easy, though, once the pitch breaks and starts to turn. Toss: To Bat 10 of the 24 Tests played at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram have been won by the team batting first; 7 have been won by the fielding side and 7 have been drawn. We reckon, both teams will look to bat first and put on a decent total to get ahead in the game.

Hobart Hurricanes Women vs Sydney Thunder Women, WBBLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Hobart Hurricanes Women vs Sydney Thunder Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 28, Monday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 12:40 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Blundstone Arena, Bellerive, Australia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Womens Big Bash League, 2024 Hobart Hurricanes Women’s challenge to leverage home advantage Hobart Hurricanes Women vs Sydney Thunder 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. HH-W vs ST-W Match Prediction & Analysis It is the first leg of the league games in Women’s Big Bash League 2024, and the Hobart Hurricanes Women would be up against Sydney Thunder Women in the 4th game. It will be the first game for both teams, and they are looking forward to making a good start. The Hurricanes exited in the first-round last season, while the Sydney Thunder Women lost in the Eliminator and aim to start the tournament positively. TEAMS PREVIEW Hobart Hurricanes Preview Elyse Villani’s team struggled last year and exited in the first round. The last few seasons have been bad for the team as they have become the perennial bottom hunters in the points table. Villani would hope for a better show from her players. A good start is crucial, and she would like her team to draw inspiration from their good record against the Sydney Thunder Women. Sydney Thunder Preview Tahlia Wilson is the side’s captain this season, replacing Heather Knight. Last year, the team made it to the Eliminator but had a poor outing against Brisbane Heat Women. They have a poor record against the Hobart Hurricanes Women, and Wilson would like to turn that in with a good show at their season opener. Weather Conditions Hobart will have overcast skies, making the conditions favorable for the bowlers. Batters would find the conditions challenging during the game, and they would need to play to the merit of the ball. The average first-innings score here is 149 runs, and the first side to bat will need 160 on the board. HH-W vs ST-W Pitch Report Bellerive Oval, Hobart, is a small ground. The short square boundaries offer lots of scoring opportunities to the batters. The wicket offers early assistance to the fast bowlers, who have done well here. There is little on this surface for the spinners, who have gone for runs in most games.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India Women vs New Zealand Women 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 27, Sunday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd ODI 2024 India Women’s hunt for another series win at home Sri Lanka vs West Indies 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. IND-W vs NZW Match Prediction & Analysis India Women’s team finally has something to cheer about after their disastrous performance in the T20 World Cup. The hosts defeated New Zealand Women by 59 runs in the 1st ODI of the three-match series. The team will now look to seal the series in the second game, taking advantage of the home conditions. For New Zealand, it is a must-win game to level the series. The Indians enjoy playing at Ahmedabad, and in the last four games, the side has always emerged victorious. They will look to add to their record with another strong performance in this game. New Zealand has always had a problem against quality spin attacks, and it will be interesting to see if the team can overcome this handicap and win this game to keep their hopes alive. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview Harmanpreet Kaur, who missed out the first game due to a niggle is expected to return to the team for this game. She will be proud of how her girls performed in the last game. They were under pressure after a poor show in the T20 World Cup but delivered a strong show with the bat and the ball. New Zealand Preview Sophie Devine will be upset with her team’s batting efforts. They came into the series with a struggling batting lineup and didn’t find answers to this in the last game. The Indians will come hard at them after gaining confidence, and the New Zealand skipper will look to lead from the front in this game. Suzie Bates and Georgia Plimmer must deliver a strong start, as their early exit can hurt the side. Sophie Devine will look to guide the innings in the middle order and build partnerships with Lauren Down and Brooke Halliday. The lower middle order is strong, and they need runs from Maddy Green, Amelia Kerr, and Isabella Gaze. Weather Conditions The skies over Ahmedabad will be clear on October 27. The wicket will be good to bat, but the slowness will create doubts in the batters’ minds. Spinners will enjoy the conditions in this game as the ball turns sharply. In women’s cricket, the average first-inning score at this venue is 220 runs. The side batting first would like to have 260 on the board. IND-W vs NZW Pitch Report Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, balances it out between the batters and bowlers. The track can surprise batters with its dual-paced nature, but they can score runs once they get set in. Fast bowlers rely on their variations to earn rewards on this surface. It has been a happy hunting ground for the spinners as the ball can turn sharply. Toss: To Bat The wicket played well in the 1st innings in the last game and slowed down in the second half. We expect similar conditions in this game; chasing a score won’t be easy. The side winning the toss won’t hesitate to bat first on this track.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sri Lanka vs West Indies𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 26, Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele, Sri Lanka𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd ODIs 2023 Can Sri Lanka complete a whitewash? Will West Indies pick up a consolation win? Sri Lanka vs West Indies 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. SL vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis Sri Lanka clinched the series with a dominant win in the second ODI, sending West Indies into a state of dejection. West Indies know what they need to do to push for a win, but their young team doesn’t quite have the ability to adapt to the conditions and start playing spin with more confidence. No wonder the visitors are still searching for their first victory in more than 10 matches in Sri Lankan soil. With a dead rubber, there’s hardly any pressure and they may pick up a consolation win but they will need to play at their absolute best to even come close to challenging the mighty Lankans in this form. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lankan bowlers have come to the fore and set things up nicely for their batters to come in and get the job done. Asitha Fernando, Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana—who walked into the XI at the last minute— bowled beautifully with intent to trigger a collapse and run through their batting order. At 58 for 8, the visitors were in deep trouble. Sri Lanka were hoping to mop up the tail and make short work of the chase, but Rutherford and Motie offered resistance bringing up a 119-run stand. West Indies Preview West Indies batsmen were left bewildered by Sri Lankan spinners in the second ODI, as well. Brandon King and Shai Hope looked to take the attack to the pace bowler Asitha Fernando, but it backfired against them in the end. Their wickets created an opening that the hosts spinners would exploit later on. West Indian batsmen were sitting ducks against the likes of Theekshana, Hasaranga on a slow, dry used surface. They couldn’t play out their full quota of overs and were skittled out inside 40. It could have been worse. Reduced to 58 for 8, the visitors had Rutherford and Motie come together and make some valuable runs for the 9th wicket, adding 119 runs to give their total a bit of respectability. Weather Conditions Scoring runs on the used wicket was arduous, as many West Indies batters found the other day. A new wicket is in order for the final match, but the conditions will mostly stay the same. And it could make run-scoring difficult early on, whether it’s pace or spin. It’s going to be cloudy and rain is predicted during the course of the game, and the bowlers will look to make the most of it. SL vs WI Pitch Report The match will be played at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy where Sri Lanka picked up their 11th win in 14 matches a couple of days ago. Toss: To Bowl The chasing team had a leg up in both matches this series, so there’s a good chance that the team winning the toss would opt to field first.

India vs New Zealand, IND vs NZ 2024, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India vs New Zealand𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 24, Thursday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 09:30 AM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune, India𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd Test 2024 Will the hosts bounce back with a win in Pune and draw the series level? Can visitors do the unthinkable, securing a test series in India? India vs New Zealand 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. IND vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis New Zealand bowlers took full advantage of favourable overcast conditions on the second day of the first test to bundle India out for 46, snatching the initiative. Although India did well to recover in the third innings and posted a 400+ total, it was never going to be enough to trouble a resurgent Kiwi side. They were sweating on Kane Williamson’s fitness, but reports are out confirming that the Kiwi legend is likely to miss another test to allow for more time to recover from an injury. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview The Bengaluru test worked in mysterious ways for the hosts. They folded to their lowest total (46) ever against New Zealand and then orchestrated a brave rear-guard in their second innings to end up with the highest innings total of the match (462), but it was nowhere near enough to stop the Kiwis drawing first blood in the series. Having elected to bat first, India showed no real intent to accumulate runs facing up to a lethal pace attack charging in with their tails up. They soaked up 31 overs and had just 46 runs on the board to show for it, as they struggled coming to grips with the Kiwi pacers. New Zealand Preview New Zealand are on cloud nine at the moment. They earned a hard-fought victory against India on Indian soil, all without the services of their finest batsmen ever, Kane Williamson. They really didn’t feel Kane’s absence, thanks to the manner in which the Indian batsmen meekly surrendered in the first innings. Rachin Ravindra impressed with a man of the match performance, notching up his first test hundred against India in the second innings and seeing off the chase in the fourth innings at Bengaluru, a venue that’s so close to his heart. Devon Conway showed great application in the second innings and was crucial to New Zealand’s chances of making a huge score, but he was dismissed nine runs shy of what would have been a terrific century. Will Young got solid starts in both the innings and helped himself to good form going into the second test. Weather Conditions The pitch flattens out over time and gets easier to bat on as the match progresses, so teams batting second can truly capitalize and put a huge total on board. In general, there is quite a bit of assistance for both spinners and pacers, but spinners usually dominate proceedings in the latter part of the test. Runs in the first and second innings are crucial, as the wicket could get a little tricky to bat on with the ball starting to turn square. Weather-wise, the forecast is sunny for the first three days with the chances of rain increasing over the last two days. IND vs NZ Pitch Report The match will be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. India lost their last match to Australia 5 years ago, courtesy a spin-bowling masterclass from left arm spinner Steve O’Keefe who outdid the hosts’ spinners in both innings. Toss: To Bowl Pune is one of those venues where losing the toss wouldn’t put you at a disadvantage straightaway. But, if the wicket has a bit of a green tinge to it and the conditions are conducive to bowlers, it’s always safe to field first.
