AUCK vs CD Match Prediction & Analysis We are in the second leg of the Plunket Shield 2024-25. Auckland Aces will face a tough test as they take on the Central Stags at home in the 13th match. The Aces have won only once this season and have struggled with their form across formats. The Central Stags have done well in the first leg and would like to resume their campaign with a good performance.   The Auckland Aces have struggled with their form. The team won only once this season and is entering a must-win game. They have a poor record against the Central Stags, which will weigh on their minds. The Central Stags will look to build on their good record against the Aces, and it will be interesting to see if the Aces can surprise them with a good show. TEAMS PREVIEW Auckland Aces Preview Sean Solia’s team hasn’t had a great run in the first leg of the tournament. They have won only once in their four games and went down against the Wellington Firebirds in their last game in December. As the team resumes its campaign, Solia wants a more spirited performance to move up on the points table.   Sean Solia will look to lead from the front and deliver a good start in this game with Siddhesh Dixit. The middle order has let the team down this season, and they need runs from William O’Donnell, Cam Fletcher, and Bevon Jacobs. Simon Keene and Quinn Sunde will look to do well in the lower middle order to put the team in a strong position.   Central Stags Preview Tom Bruce and his men have enjoyed good form this year. The side wants to win another game as they resume their campaign and move up on the points table. The batting lineup is in good form, and the bowling attack has troubled batters. Bruce would like to play to his strengths and perform in this game.   Jack Boyle and Curtis Heaphy have provided good starts this season, and the team expects another one from the pair. Brad Schmulian is in excellent form, and the team expects him to add runs in the middle order with Dane Cleaver and Tom Bruce. William Clark and Brett Randell add strength to the lower middle order.   The bowling attack has done well in the last four games. Brett Randell and Raymond will look to strike early and put the Aces on the mat. William Clark will look to do well as the first change and keep up the pressure with Tyler Annand. JT Harris and Ajaz Patel add depth to this attack. Weather Conditions We will see good weather in Auckland starting March 05. There will be assistance for the bowlers on what is otherwise a great batting surface. Batsmen can play their strokes on this surface. To feel confident, the side that bats first in this game would like 350 runs on the board. AUCK vs CD Pitch Report Eden Park Outer Oval assists the bowlers at the start of the game. But the ball comes onto the bat nicely, allowing the batsmen to play their strokes. The shorter boundaries are a big bonus for the batsmen, but the dimensions make it a challenging surface for the spinners. Toss: To Bowl It will be the first game on this ground in a long time, and there will be some juice on the surface for the bowlers early on in the game. It is something that both the captains are likely to consider at the toss, and the side winning it would look to bowl first and dismiss the opposition for a small total.

India vs Australia, ICCCT, Today Match Prediction

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :​ ​​India vs Australia ​​​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : March 04, Tuesdayπ“πˆπŒπ„ : 14:30 PM IST​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : 1stΒ ODI Semi Final, 2025 India face Australia on their way to the Final Singapore vs Bahrain β€‹ 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 AUS Match Prediction & Analysis India will look to avenge their World Cup loss as they meet Australia in the Champions Trophy semi-final in Dubai. The men in blue have won all the 3 matches they played here in the group stage. On the other hand, Australia won their opening game against England while chasing a massive target of 352 runs, but their remaining games ended without a result. In their last outing against Afghanistan, the Aussies were on top of the game scoring 109 for 1 in the 13th Over while chasing a 276-run target when rain stopped play. Travis Head and Matthew Short are in fine touch at the top and will be key players against India. The pitch has offered help for the spinners and Axar Patel, Varun Chakravarthy, and Kuldeep Yadav will pose a tough challenge to the Aussies. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview India are in red-hot form with 3 consecutive wins. Their bowlers have been exceptional in all of their matches so far. Varun Chakravarthy’s fifer led them to a 44-run win over New Zealand. The top-order collapsed in the last match. That will be a concern for the men in blue going ahead. They need Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shubman Gill to deliver big in this match. Considering the bowling attack of Australia lacks experience as most of their key players are not part of the squad, we believe India will have the upper hand. Indian batters are more likely to get the better of Nathan Ellis, Ben Dwarshuis, and Spencer Johnson. Adam Zampa would pose a threat with his leg-break bowling. But other than that, India will dominate most of the Australian bowlers. Shreyas Iyer has scored two consecutive fifties in the middle order and will be one to watch out for. Australia Preview Australia look qutie strong as far as the batting lineup is concerned but their bowlers haven’t been in their best form. This is not the classic Aussie bowling lineup that would intimidate the opposition. There is no Starc, Cummins or Hazlewood in the squad. Without these 3 we don’t expect Australia to put the mighty Indian batting order under pressure. Glenn Maxwell, Matthew Short, and Adam Zampa will be crucial with the spin. Spinners have played a key role on this wicket and have driven India’s success. Australian bowlers have been quite expensive in recent games and were far from what’s expected of them. Travis Head, Steven Smith, and Marnus Labuschagne are the key batters to watch out for in this side. We expect these 3 to step up and deliver on the big day. Smith, in particular, will be crucial against the in-form Indian bowling attack. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy in Dubai with a high of 28 degrees Celsius. There will be cloudy skies in the city throughout the week with chances of rain next week but on the match day, we expect no rain interruptions. IND vs AUS Pitch Report The pitch has helped the spinners a great deal. There is a lot of turn on offer on this wicket and both teams will back their bowlers to put them on top of the game. The average 1st innings score in the last 5 one-day matches here is 224 runs. We reckon anything above 260 will be a highly competitive total in this match. Toss: To Bowl Though India successfully defended a total in the last match, they’ve managed to chase down a target twice before. It is not an easy pitch to score runs on and bowling first will allow the team to gain the upper hand with early wickets and potentially bundling the opposition for a low score. So far, teams bowling first have won 2 of the 3 matches in the Champions Trophy at this venue.

SIN vs BHR Match Prediction & Analysis It is the 4th game in the five-match series, and visitors Bahrain will look to continue their dominance against Singapore. Bahrain registered an easy 8-wicket win in the series’ third game, dominating their hosts in both departments. With the series already in the bag, Bahrain would look to build on the momentum. Singapore has struggled in the series and shall aim to make a strong comeback.   Bahrain has been clinical in this series. All their wins have been convincing, and the team has its batters in good form. The side has never lost a game against Singapore and will look to extend this record. Singapore has struggled with its consistency in the last 12 months, and it will be interesting to see if the team can strike form. TEAMS PREVIEW Singapore Preview Manpreet Singh and his men will face the heat going into this game. They are a much weaker team than their opponents and haven’t done anything to bridge this gap. Their batsmen have struggled with the scoring rate. Singh wants to see more intent from his batters in this game to win and avoid further slide.   Rohan Rangarajan must play more aggressively as he opens the batting with Aman Desai and takes on the Bahrain bowlers. Aritra Dutta and Manpreet Singh are the most experienced batters on this team, and they must build partnerships with Surendran Chandramohan in the middle order. Ishaan Sawney and Suryansh Gulecha must add quick runs in the lower middle order.   Harsh Venkataram and Aahan Gopinath Achar leaked runs with the new ball in the last game, and the team needs better spells from them at the start. Pranav Sudarshan and Akshay Puri will look to bowl well in the middle overs and put a check on the scoring rate. Manpreet Singh and Ishaan Sawney will look to do well in the supporting role. Bahrain Preview Ahmer Bin Nasir will be happy with his team’s performance in the series. They have executed their plans flawlessly to take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series. The batting lineup looks good, and the bowling attack has troubled Singaporean batting. Bin Nasir would want to win another game and set up a whitewash for the 5th T20i.   Prashant Kurup and Fiaz Ahmed set up a 108-run stand in the last game, and the team expects them to deliver a strong start. Sohail Ahmed has done well in the series and looks to add runs with Ahmer Bin Nasir and Junaid Aziz in the middle order. Ubaid Martuza, Rizwan Butt, and Sai Sarthak complete a strong batting lineup for the team.   Ali Dawood picked three wickets in the last game and will look to do well, sharing the new ball with Imran Anwar. Abdul Majid Abbasi and Rizwan Butt are in good form, and they will look to suffocate Singapore’s batting in the middle overs. The side will expect a good show in the supporting role from Sai Sarthak. Weather Conditions We expect overcast skies over Singapore, and the skies may open up. The wicket shall play slow, and batters will struggle against a swinging and seaming ball under these conditions. A score of 160 runs would be a good total to defend with quality bowling. SIN vs BHR Pitch Report Singapore National Cricket Ground, Singapore, is a small cricket ground with straight and square boundaries pulled in. Playing shots is easy for the batsmen once they get their eyes set. Spinners can turn the ball on this surface, which causes problems for batters. Toss: To Bowl The last two games have seen big wins for the team chasing the score. The wicket has some assistance at the start for the bowlers and eases as the game progresses. The side winning the toss would look to bowl first and restrict the opposition to a small total.

NZW vs SLW Match Prediction & Analysis Although the Women’s Premier League has quickly established itself as the premier women’s franchise tournament across the globe, international cricket still holds sway in the sport and Chamari Athapaththu will leave India early to be in place ahead of this series opener. Not only is that good news for this series, but it is a massive boost for the tourists who have long relied on Athapththu with both bat and ball to keep them competitive. It is a different story for New Zealand though as their key-player, Amelia Kerr, is missing this series completely due to her WPL commitments. Their captain, Sophie Devine is also not available as she is on a well-being break so Suzie Bates will lead the side. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview After winning the Women’s T20 World Cup last year, there had been hopes that it could signal a new era of women’s cricket for New Zealand and this will be a good gauge for the team as they try and take on a tricky opponent without some of their top players. Stand-in skipper Suzie Bates will open the innings and contributions from the likes of Brooke Halliday, who returns to the side, and keeper-batter Isabella Gaze will also be crucial. New Zealand Women do have depth in their batting line-up but top order runs are always welcome particularly in the series opener. With the ball, expect Hannah Rowe, Eden Carson and Hayley Jensen to be consistent and to make good use of the local conditions. Jess Kerr should also get plenty of assistance from the surface. Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka Women will arrive in Napier as the underdogs but will not be overawed by the task which awaits them! As ever, much will depend on the form of Chamari Athapaththu and if she can be kept company by one of the other talented batters then Sri Lanka Women could do a lot more than just make up the numbers in this opener. Key to the success with the bat will be Vishmi Gunaratne who has a solid technique alongside Kavisha Dilhari who we expect to open the innings next to her captain. Dilshari is also one of the most talented bowlers in the group and it would be no surprise to see her operate in tandem with the ball with Athapaththu as well. Sri Lanka Women are a side never to be written off, with both bat and ball. Weather Conditions The forecast for Tuesday is not too impressive in Napier with some showers expected across the afternoon and into the evening. Humidity will also increase to over 80% in the final innings of the game. NZW vs SLW Pitch Report There is usually a bit of green grass left on the wicket in Napier and we would expect to see the same in this match. That would mean assistance for the quick bowlers across the first innings and a par total of around 260. Toss: To Bowl McLean Park is an excellent place to both watch and play WODI cricket. The last two games at this venue have been won by the team chasing so we predict both captains will want to bowl first.

They went down against Bahrain by 7 wickets in the last game. They were outplayed in all departments and shall aim for a strong comeback. Bahrain did well, and the team will look to take an unassailable lead with a win.   Singapore has had a series of poor results in recent matches, and apart from a few wins, there hasn’t been much to cheer for the team. They have never won against Bahrain, and it will play in the players’ minds. Bahrain has a strong batting line-up, and it remains to be seen if Singapore can defeat them in this game. TEAMS PREVIEW Singapore Preview Manpreet Singh and his men would go into this game under pressure. They must save the series after losing the last game. Their batsmen struggled, and the bowling attack failed to put pressure on the opponents. Singh expects a strong show from his players and looks to take advantage of the home conditions.    Suryansh Gulecha and Aman Desai missed out in the last game. They must provide a steady start against the new ball. Girin Gune batted well in the last game and will look to build partnerships with Aritra Dutta and Manpreet Singh in the middle order. Surendran Chandramohan and Ishaan Sawney must deliver a good show in the final overs of the game.   Manpreet Singh must lead from the front with the ball and deliver early breakthroughs with Aahan Gopinath Achar. Harsh Venkataram will be happy with his performance in the last game and must trouble the batters in the middle overs, along with Pranav Sudarshan. Akshay Puri and Ishaan Sawney must bowl better lines for the team to win. Bahrain Preview Ahmer Bin Nasir and his men will be confident heading into the game. It was a clinical show from the team in the last game. The bowlers set it up with a good show, and the batsmen played by the book. Nasir would like a similar performance from his players to take an unassailable lead in the series.   Prashant Kurup did well in the last game, and the team expects him to put up a good show with Fiaz Ahmed at the start. Sohail Ahmed will look to steer the innings in the middle order and add runs with Sohail Ahmed and Junaid Aziz. Ubaid Martuza, Rizwan Butt, and Ali Dawood add strength to this batting lineup in the lower middle order.   Imran Anwar was phenomenal with the new ball in the last game, and the team expects a similar show from him and Ali Dawood. Rizwan Butt will look to bring his experience to play and bowl tight spells in the middle overs. Abdul Majid Abbasi and Asif Shaikh add variety to this attack, making it strong. Weather Conditions There are predictions of cloudy skies over Singapore. The wicket shall play slow, and batters will struggle against a swinging and seaming ball under these conditions. A score of 160 runs would be a good total to defend with quality bowling. SIN vs BHR Pitch Report Singapore National Cricket Ground, Singapore, is a small cricket ground with straight and square boundaries pulled in.

Toss: To Bowl In the past, we have seen most sides win at this venue bowling first. The surface was slower than normal in the last game. Posting a total in such conditions is never easy.

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :​ ​​UP Warriorz Women vs Gujarat Giants Women 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : March 03, Mondayπ“πˆπŒπ„ : 19:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : Womens Premier League, 2025 Ashleigh Gardner has emerged as Gujarat’s most valuable all-rounder, currently topping both their run-scoring and wicket-taking lists. Her impact was on full display in their most recent match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women, where she hammered a fifty and picked up two wickets, walking away with the player of the match honors. UP Warriorz Women vs Gujarat Giants 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. UPW vs GGW Match Prediction & Analysis The Ekana Cricket Stadium will host Match 15 of the 2025 Women’s Premier League, featuring UP Warriorz Women against Gujarat Giants Women. Both squads find themselves struggling at the bottom of the table this WPL season. This contest offers a golden opportunity for either team to grab a much-needed victory and generate some positive momentum as they still harbor hopes of making it to the playoff stage. TEAMS PREVIEW UP Warriorz Preview UP Warriorz Women have had an inconsistent run this season, securing two wins but suffering three losses. They appeared to be finding their footing after back-to-back victories over Delhi Capitals Women and Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women, but a heavy 8-wicket defeat against Mumbai Indians Women halted their momentum. The next few games will be important for them as they aim to turn things around. Shweta Sehrawat has been the team’s most reliable batter, collecting 114 runs in five innings at a strike rate of 120. Kiran Navgire has been just as explosive, smashing 108 runs in five matches at a brisk strike rate of 153. Chinelle Henry has also made an impact with 110 runs in four innings, scoring at an impressive strike rate of 211.53. Grace Harris has been the team’s most effective bowler so far, taking six wickets in five matches while maintaining an economy rate of 7.88. Sophie Ecclestone, Deepti Sharma, and Kranti Goud have contributed well with four wickets each, and their ability to capitalize on the conditions could be crucial for the team. Gujarat Giants Preview It has been a rough campaign for Gujarat Giants Women, who have won just two games while losing three, leaving them stuck at the bottom of the points table. With four points and a net run rate of -0.450, their path forward depends on how they handle their next couple of games, making this an important matchup for them. Fortunately, they seem to be picking up steam as they took down defending champs Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their latest encounter. Ashleigh Gardner has been a standout performer with the bat, scoring 202 runs in five innings at a rapid strike rate of 170. She is fresh off a sparkling fifty in the match against Bengaluru, where her knock helped chase down a target of 126 with ease. Unfortunately, the rest of the batting order has struggled to make an impact, with no other batter reaching the 100-run milestone. This lack of depth has been one of Gujarat’s biggest challenges. Beth Mooney and Harleen Deol have shown flashes of promise but will need to deliver on a more consistent basis if Gujarat wants to compete with the top teams. The bowling attack has delivered better results compared to the batting. Kashvee Gautam and Ashleigh Gardner have been reliable, picking up six wickets each. Meanwhile, Priya Mishra and Deandra Dottin have added ten wickets between them, and their performances could be crucial in determining Gujarat’s fortunes moving forward. Weather Conditions The Ekana pitch in Lucknow offers low bounce with a two-paced character that tends to slow down as the evening progresses. Expect early swing under lights followed by grip for spinners from the abrasive surface. Dew factor becomes minimal due to the stadium’s efficient drainage system. Batters who adapt quickly to the variable pace will thrive, while cutters and slower balls become deadly weapons after 9 PM. The weather forecast shows clear and pleasant weather in Lucknow during the game with no chance of rain disrupting the proceedings.  UPW vs GGW Pitch Report Teams batting first at the Ekana stadium typically put up scores in the range of 130-140 runs. Looking at women’s T20I history at this ground, the highest first-innings total belongs to India Women, who scored 158-4 against South Africa Women back in 2021. Despite this competitive score, South Africa managed to hunt down the target on the final delivery, securing a thrilling 6-wicket victory. Toss: To Bowl Teams batting in the second innings have found more success at the Ekana stadium in women’s cricket matches to date. The chasing team has won all five women’s ODIs and all three women’s T20Is played at this venue. Given this trend, we can expect both skippers to opt for bowling first if they win the toss in this upcoming contest.

RCBW vs DCW Match Prediction & Analysis After a winning start to the season, RCB Women lost the plot. Their batting was hanging by a small thread and it finally collapsed in the last match. Now the defending champions will take on an in-form DC Women in search of a win. Delhi Capitals are moving from strength to strength this season. They’ve bounced back brilliantly after their loss to RCB early in the season. DC bowlers have been exceptional in recent outings and will pose a threat to the struggling batting order of RCB Women. The top 3 of the RCB batting lineup are crucial to their success. With skipper Smriti Mandhana out of form, Ellyse Perry has been the sole figure in this lineup leading the fight for RCB. TEAMS PREVIEW Royal Challengers Bangalore Preview Royal Challengers Bangalore Women are desperately looking to get back to winning ways. They’ve beaten DC once in this tournament and should be hoping to repeat the same. However, this time, they find themselves on the back foot as they lock horns with a resurgent DC. Smriti Mandhana’s poor run of form continues to hurt the team while the inconsistencies of the middle-order batters are also a major concern for RCB going ahead. Ellyse Perry and Daniel Wyatt-Hodge are the key batters in the top order to watch out for. These two have shown great promise and delivered some impressive knocks in recent matches. But the constant pressure of delivering in every game without any support from others around them has taken a toll on them. Kanika Ahuja and Richa Ghosh need to step up and deliver bigger knocks to take RCB to a competitive score. Delhi Capitals Preview Delhi Capitals Women are on a roll with back-to-back wins. Their bowlers have been the driving force behind their recent comeback. They restricted MI to 123 in the last match and chased down the target with 9 wickets in hand. In the previous outing, the bowlers did the same as the Giants ended up with 127 for 9 batting first and the Capitals chased it down comfortably. Shikha Pandey, Marizzane Kapp, and Annabel Sutherland are the key wicket-takers to watch out for in this squad. There is great variety in this bowling attack and Jess Jonassen and Titas Sidhu are also quality bowling options. Skipper Meg Lanning will be happy with her team’s efforts in recent matches and her return to form in the last game. She scored a fifty after a couple of disappointing knocks at the top. She was also supported by Shafali Sharma at the top and with both the openers finding their rhythm, DC Women now look quite threatening. Weather Conditions It will be mostly cloudy in Bengaluru with a high of 28 degrees Celsius. We don’t expect any rain interruptions on the match day. RCBW vs DCW Pitch Report It is a great wicket for batting and though there have been a few disappointing performances in the first innings of the last few games, there is still plenty of help for the batters on this pitch. The average 1st inning score in the last 10 T20 matches is 151 runs. However, for a match-winning score, we reckon, the team batting first should aim for something over 170 runs. Toss: To Bowl Teams bowling first have won the last 5 consecutive matches at this venue in WPL. Chasing has always been the popular choice at this venue in Bengaluru and the recent results indicate that bowling will be the preferred choice in this match as well.

Canterbury Kings vs Auckland Aces 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. CANT vs AUCK Match Prediction & Analysis The big day has arrived as Canterbury Kings and Auckland Aces face off in this Sunday’s Ford Trophy 2024/25 final in Dunedin. Canterbury have dominated the competition from start to finish and enter with all cylinders firing. Yet Auckland shouldn’t be written off – they’ve already toppled Canterbury once this season and know how to handle the pressure. Fans can expect fireworks when these two heavyweights collide, though Canterbury hold a slight advantage heading into the decider. After finishing as runners-up last season, they’ll be extra motivated to go one better this time around. TEAMS PREVIEW Canterbury Kings Preview Canterbury Kings have been the team to beat in the Ford Trophy 2024/25, securing the top spot in the league stage with seven wins out of ten. With just two defeats this season, they will step into the final with plenty of confidence, eager to close out their campaign on a winning note, something they could not do last time. Captain Cole McConchie has been their most reliable batter, accumulating 339 runs in nine innings at an average of 42.37. Matthew Boyle has played a key role as well, adding 287 runs while averaging 36. Meanwhile, Rhys Mariu has contributed crucial runs at the top, scoring 272 at 30.22. Zakary Foulkes has been the standout performer with the ball, taking 13 wickets in nine games while maintaining an economy of 5.41. Michael Rippon, Fraser Sheat, and Angus McKenzie have also been dependable, providing Canterbury with a well-rounded attack heading into the final. Auckland Aces Preview Auckland Aces finished the league stage in second place, securing six wins and suffering four losses. They carried that momentum into the Elimination Final, where they dominated defending champions Central Districts with a commanding 91-run victory to reach the final. Cam Fletcher has led the charge with the bat, accumulating 399 runs in 10 innings at an average of 57. James Neesham, fresh off a stunning 128 (off 82) in the knockout match, will be a major threat heading into the final. Bevon Jacobs has anchored the middle order well, contributing almost 240 runs this season, including two half-centuries. His ability to steady the innings in pressure situations has been invaluable to the team. Their bowling attack has delivered key performances throughout the season. Neesham has been instrumental, taking 15 wickets while keeping his economy at 4.64. Danru Ferns, Adithya Ashok, and Jock McKenzie have backed him up effectively, adding variety and control to the attack. Weather Conditions The University Oval pitch in Dunedin typically offers a balanced contest between bat and ball. The surface tends to have good pace and bounce early on, giving fast bowlers some assistance in the morning session. As the day progresses, the pitch often becomes more batting-friendly with consistent bounce. Spinners may find some turn in the middle overs, but generally need to work hard for their wickets here. The ground’s smaller dimensions and fast outfield make it conducive to scoring once set. The weather in Dunedin will be mostly cloudy with chances of a passing shower in the afternoon. But we should still get a full game. CANT vs AUCK Pitch Report University Oval has turned into a paradise for batsmen this season, with teams cracking the 300-run barrier four times out of the five games played there. Central Districts took full advantage of these batting-friendly conditions when they hammered 330-7 against Otago, setting the high score mark for the venue this season. Toss: To Bat Four of the five games played at the University Oval in this season of the Ford Trophy have been won by the team batting first. Since this is the final, we reckon both teams will play it safe and would look to bat first.

New Zealand vs India 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 IND Match Prediction & Analysis Group A has not been overly competitive in this year’s Champions Trophy with New Zealand and India winning both of their games at the expense of Pakistan and Bangladesh. But this game will be an important one as it will decide who finishes top of Group A and at the same time will determine who plays the runners-up from Group B. Both New Zealand and India have not really been challenged across their two games in this competition but we expect all to change in this fixture with both playing a high standard of cricket. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview It continues to be a surprise that anyone is surprised by how easily New Zealand have negotiated their first two games of this Champions Trophy and it was another comfortable victory for the Black Caps when they beat Bangladesh in their last game on Monday. That match saw Rachin Ravindra return to the team with Daryl Mitchell missing out through illness but we expect New Zealand to be at full strength for this top of the table clash with India. With Ravindra taking the Player of the Match award thanks to his 112 runs from 105 balls, it is going to be tough for New Zealand to work out who makes way for Mitchell and we expect one of Will Young or Devon Conway to be left out with Ravindra promoted to open. India Preview Pakistan were no match for India last Sunday as Rohit Sharma’s team got over the winning line with six wickets in hand and 45 balls remaining. In all, it was a fine team performance from India and they have so far lived up to their tag of pre-tournament favourites. Wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav was back to his best in the win over their great rivals, returning figures of 3/40 with Hardik Pandya the pick of the pacers. Mohammed Shami had an off day but the team management will not be concerned as he builds up his strength following a long injury lay off. With the bat, Virat Kohli once again saved a century for a game against Pakistan and the consistent pair of Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer both made significant contributions as well. India continue to have vast depth in both their bowling and batting ranks! Weather Conditions The temperature will be around 24 degrees from start to finish during this game even after sundown. Humidity levels will also be moderate and will not increase as the match progresses. NZ vs IND Pitch Report The Dubai International Cricket Stadium has good pace and bounce so overall is a good place for batting. Whoever bats first will be looking to post a total of 320+. Toss: To Bat Both teams are equally comfortable batting first or bowling first and the conditions look unlikely to change across this match. Therefore, we predict that both captains will want to bat first ahead of this game.

South Africa vs England 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. RSA vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis This game will bring the curtain down on Group B of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy and we already know that whatever the result, England will not be celebrating as they will be going home. South Africa, on the other hand, could be celebrating winning the group but they will know exactly what is required to do so ahead of the match with Australia and Afghanistan going head to head 24 hours earlier. England have been on a downward spiral in white ball cricket for many years and they look a shadow of their former selves who won the 2019 Cricket World Cup. They also have a poor record in Asia in this format! TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview There could be a change for South Africa ahead of this game with Heinrich Klaasen likely to be available again after a minor injury ruled him out of the opener against Afghanistan. Although Klaasen is usually a finisher in white ball cricket, his best route back into the team may well be as Tony de Zorzi’s replacement at the top of the order. That’s because of the form of Ryan Rickelton, Temba Bavuma, Rassie van der Dussen and Aiden Markram. David Miller made only 14 runs from 18 balls but his place in the middle order is certainly secure. With the ball, Kagiso Rabada has a fine record against England and is very consistent in this format. We also expect Marco Jansen to cause problems with his height and left-arm angle. South Africa Predicted Playing XI: Ryan Rickelton (wk), Heinrich Klaasen, Temba Bavuma (c), Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Wiaan Mulder, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi England Preview After coming into the tournament talking a good game and telling anyone who would listen that they had a chance of winning the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, it has turned out to not be the case and England will be heading home immediately after this game. England have performed well with the bat and have seen both Ben Duckett and Joe Root post centuries during the competition. But the likes of Phil Salt, Jamie Smith, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler and Liam Livingstone have failed to make an impact so they will all be keen to sign off with a score. Weather Conditions It is set to be another warm and sunny day in Karachi with the temperature up at 28 degrees for the majority of the game. Even after dark, humidity levels are unlikely to go above 50%. RSA vs ENG Pitch Report This is a good batting wicket with both New Zealand and South Africa showing the value of batting first in this tournament. That said, we still expect some assistance for the pace bowlers during the powerplays. Toss: To Bat Both games here in Karachi during the ICC Champions Trophy have been won by the teams batting first so we predict that both sides will want to bat first again in this game.
