“Aukat Se Bahar”: India, Pakistan Fans In War Of Words Over Video Of Stars Walking Past IPL Final Telecast

India vs Pakistan – if on the field it’s an intense cricket contest, off the field too things are no less. Sometimes, the fans’ enthusiasm surpass the stars who play on the field. Even the broadcasters capitalise on the same (think about the ‘Mauk Mauka’ ad). The Indian cricket team and Pakistan cricket team will once again face off at the T20 World Cup 2024 on June 9. Though, India enjoy supremacy as far as head-to-head record is concerned, Pakistan are T20 World Cup runner-up of 2022.  Ahead of the clash, India and Pakistan engaged in a war of words over a viral video which showed Pakistan players walking past a TV screen, where IPL final was being telecast.  Unhe pata hai Aukat se bahar hai to kya matlab dekhkr dil jalane se — Dr. Rahul Jat (@Rahul_jaat001) May 30, 2024 Meanwhile International team players ignore Pakistan tour during IPL — ChauhanSahab (@chauhandwarrior) May 30, 2024 Pakistani Players ignored IPL Final pic.twitter.com/JigwfIFivA — Imran Siddique (@imransiddique89) May 30, 2024 Ahead of the high-octane India versus Pakistan clash in the ICC T20 World Cup on June 9, security cover will be raised at New York’s Eisenhower Park stadium following reports of threats to the match, reported ESPNCricinfo. As per a statement by the governor’s office, the situation is being monitored and according to their intel “there is no credible public safety threat at this time.” Eisenhower Park Stadium, located 25 miles east of Manhattan, is the host of eight ICC T20 WC matches from June 3 to 12, including the battle between two Asian arch-rivals. The governor of New York, Kathy Hochul, said that she is working with the law enforcement authorities to make sure these games go on smoothly. “I have also directed the New York State Police to engage in elevated security measures, including an increased law enforcement presence, advanced surveillance, and thorough screening processes,” she said as quoted by ESPNCricinfo. “Public safety is my top priority and we are committed to ensuring the Cricket World Cup is a safe, enjoyable experience,” she added. ESPNCricinfo has learnt that no corroborative evidence has been found by authorities to back the reported threat. But the International Cricket Council (ICC) has said that security will be “robust” throughout the tournament across all venues. With ANI inputs Topics mentioned in this article

Not Virat Kohli, Adam Gilchrist surprises with his pick for top run-getter in T20 World Cup | Cricket News

Not Virat Kohli, Adam Gilchrist surprises with his pick for top run-getter in T20 World Cup | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: As the cricket world gears up for the upcoming T20 World Cup, set to commence on June 2 in the USA and West Indies, discussions among former players and pundits often revolve around predicting the tournament’s standout performers. Former India captain Virat Kohli frequently tops the list of players expected to dominate the run-scoring charts and capture the spotlight.Interestingly, the legendary Australian wicket-keeper Adam Gilchrist has offered a surprising perspective on the matter. Deviating from the popular opinion surrounding Kohli’s anticipated success, Gilchrist has chosen David Warner to finish as the highest run-scorer of the tournament.On the Club Prairie Fire Podcast, Adam Gilchrist mentioned that the Australian opener will have one last dance before retiring after the World Cup. Meanwhile, on the same podcast, former England captain Michael Vaughan predicted that Virat Kohli will score the most runs in the tournament.When selecting the player likely to finish as the highest wicket-taker of the tournament, Gilchrist chose Kuldeep Yadav, whereas Vaughan opted for Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa.Kohli has ended the Indian Premier League season 2024 with the Orange Cap for most runs in the season, becoming the only Indian to have won this honour twice.Kohli scored 741 runs in 15 matches at an average of 61.75, with a century and five fifties. His best score was 113* and his strike rate stood at 154.69, the highest it has ever been for Virat in a single IPL season.He also smashed 38 sixes this season, joint-most by him in a single season, tying with his tally of 38 sixes in the 2016 season, when he scored 973 runs in 16 matches with four tons and seven fifties.

Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​​ Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 04, Friday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 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 couldn’t 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. There’s 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 won’t 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.  Lucknow’s 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.

South Africa vs Pakistan, SA vs PAK 2024, Today Match Prediction

South Africa vs Pakistan, SA vs PAK 2024, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : South Africa vs Pakistan𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 14 ,​Saturday​​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 :​ 21:30 PM IST​​​​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : DP World Wanderers Stadium, Sandton, South Africa𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 3rd T20I 2024 South Africa eye a clean sweep South Africa 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. RSA vs PAK Match Prediction & Analysis South Africa have sealed the 3-match T20I series with a win in the second outing at the SuperSport Park in Centurion. Both games have been high-scoring and the hosts had the upper hand on both occasions. Pakistan looked good with the bat but looked dependent on a couple of players. Mohammad Rizwan and Saim Ayyub are the only promising batters in this squad. The rest of the lineup including Babar Azam failed to get going. The Proteas will be confident of finishing the series on a winning note. While Reeza Hendricks has found his rhythm at the top with a hundred in the last outing, they have got the reliable Rassie van der Dussen and Heinrich Klaasen in the middle order. TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview South Africa are leading 2-0 and will be out to finish a clean sweep in Johannesburg. Though it looks like a solid batting lineup overall with key players in great touch, there is one player whose form will be a concern. Matthew Breetzke was out cheaply in both outings at number 3. All eyes will be on him to come good in the 3rd T20I and make a mark for himself. He averages just over 16 and has a strike rate of 122 from 10 T20Is. Rassie van der Dussen was sent down to number 4 after he was out for a duck in the opening game. He found his rhythm in the second match scoring an unbeaten 66 off 38 balls to help South Africa win by 7 wickets while chasing a 207-run target. Pakistan Preview Pakistan need to find other match-winners apart from Mohammad Rizwan and Saim Ayyub. Babar Azam was off to a steady start in the second match but failed to convert it into something more significant. Azam isn’t the typical T20 player who can score quick runs and accelerate the pace of the innings. He is expected to anchor the innings from one end and build partnerships with others who come in to bat alongside him. Rizwan and Saim Ayyub are in fine touch and will have their job cut out for them. They need to score big and haven’t got anyone else to rely on at the moment. Usman Khan and Tayyab Tahir haven’t looked promising in the middle order though Irfan Khan’s 30 off 16 balls at number 6 will raise hopes for the visitors. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy with a high of 18 degrees Celsius around the game in Johannesburg. Though there is a rain prediction for the next day, we don’t expect any interruptions during the 3rd T20I between the two sides. RSA vs PAK Pitch Report There is enough help for the batters on this wicket though its dryness might create some inconsistence bounce from a length. There will be pace on offer and the ball will come onto the bat nicely. The average 1st innings score in T20Is here is 176 runs. We reckon anything above 185-190 will be a highly competitive total on this pitch. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first have won 14 of the 27 T20Is played at this venue. Though there is no clear advantage to either batting or bowling first here, we reckon having runs on the board can put the team ahead in the contest. There is plenty of help for the batters and if the team batting first gets to a competitive score, they should have the upper hand in the second innings.

How will surface at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi play? – India TV

How will surface at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi play?

Image Source : BCCI/IPL Delhi Capitals will take on the Rajasthan Royals in a must-win clash at home in the 2024 edition of the IPL Delhi Capitals’ final run to attempt qualification for the playoffs in the 2024 edition of the IPL kicks off on Tuesday, May 7 against the Rajasthan Royals and the 2020 finalists need to win each of their remaining three games. Delhi suffered a massive loss against the Kolkata Knight Riders in their last game, which was a blip in their late resurgence as they were coming off four wins in the five matches prior to that clash. Rajasthan Royals dropped a game and are yet to get a ‘Q’ against their name, which is enough motivation factor for the Men in Pink, who also lost their top spot on the table. Delhi will be sweating over the fitness of their two senior players David Warner and Ishant Sharma, who have been out of the action for more than a couple of weeks due to their respective injuries. The Royals, on the other hand, will be without Jos Buttler for the latter part of the tournament and would want to try Tom Kohler-Cadmore in a few games before the playoffs to give him a sense of the competition. Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi pitch report The lowest first-innings score in Delhi has been 223, which tells you the nature of the surface in the capital so far in the tournament. It’s been 10 days since the last match took place at the Arun Jaitley Stadium and the temperatures have soared a bit in the capital since then. Like the surfaces around the country, the heat is likely to have some effect on the pitches in Delhi too as expect them to be a little drier than before. Dry means turn, which in turn means grip in the surface and assistance for the bowlers. Despite the surface being a bit slow, it might not be 150-160 slow. The small boundaries at the Arun Jaitley Stadium and the fast outfield will still favour the batters but the wicket is used one, given the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad was played on it. All three matches have been won by the team batting first so far in Delhi and with it being a used wicket, there is an expectation of it playing a bit slower in the second innings and hence the captain winning the toss is likely to bat first.
