MATCH: South Africa vs IndiaDATE: Dec 17, 2023TIME: 13:30 IST / 8:00 GMTVENUE: Wanderers Stadium – Johannesburg, South Africa TOURNAMENT: South Africa vs India 1st ODI South Africa vs India Betting Tips Rassie van der Dussen averaged 49.77 from 10 innings during the 2023 Cricket World Cup and the 34 year old is our pick for South Africa’s highest run scorer against India. Keshav Maharaj has 52 ODI wickets and has developed his game over the last 18 months. The spinner is well worth backing as South Africa’s top wicket taker in this game.After 68 ODI innings, KL Rahul averages 50.79 and the keeper-batter is a strong choice for India’s highest run scorer against South Africa. Kuldeep Yadav has taken 167 ODI wickets and he is our tip for India’s top wicket taker in this first ODI.Very few batters on show in this game have produced as many big innings in international cricket as KL Rahul. We recommend selecting him to hit over 31.5 runs on Sunday.

SA vs IND 1st ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips After the T20I series was shared 1-1, South Africa and India resume battle on Sunday in the first game of their three-match ODI series. This will be the first time either side has played this format since South Africa were knocked out of the World Cup in the semi-final and India beaten in the final. Read on as we preview this game. The first ODI gets underway at 10:00 local time at the Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg. South Africa will once again be looking to their strong batting line-up to produce the goods in this game. They also have a strong spin bowling attack but the pace options do look a little weak. That could be the area where India are able to get on top of them. India came back from 1-0 down to draw the T20I series at this venue on Thursday and there will be plenty of confidence and self-belief in the squad ahead of this match. India have such depth in their teams that they should be able to win this game even though they are resting many of their top players. SA vs IND Match Toss PredictionThe last two and three of the last four ODIs at the Wanderers Stadium were won by the team batting first but six of the last nine have been won by the team fielding first! Both teams preferred to bat first in the 2023 Cricket World Cup so we predict that both captains will choose to bat first if they win the toss. SA vs IND Pitch ReportThere will be turn on this pitch and we saw the spinners bowl well here in the T20I on Thursday. A par score will be around 320. Johannesburg Weather ReportThe forecast is for another dry day in Johannesburg with the temperature climbing from 22 degrees early on to the late 20s. Humidity will not be an issue at this venue.

IPL 2024 Points Table, Orange Cap, Purple Cap: Delhi Capitals Gain Big With Win Over Gujarat Titans

IPL 2024 Points Table, Orange Cap, Purple Cap: Delhi Capitals Gain Big With Win Over Gujarat Titans

Danijones04 mins

Sharp glovework by skipper Rishabh Pant and some inspired bowling set up a crushing six-wicket win for Delhi Capitals after Gujarat Titans fell to their IPL lowest of 89 on Wednesday. Medium-pace bowler Mukesh Kumar stood out with figures of 3-14 to help bundle out Gujarat in 17.3 overs and Delhi raced to their target in 8.5 overs in Ahmedabad. Delhi, who were without injured David Warner, registered just their third win of this season to jump three places to sixth in the 10-team table. Meanwhile, GT, Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians lost a place each to slip to the seventh, eighth and ninth spots, respectively. Rest of the points table remained unchanged with Rajasthan Royals holding the top spot. Here is the updated IPL 2024 points table: Virat Kohli led the run-scorers’ chart with 361 runs from 7 matches, while Yuzvendra Chahal was on top of wicket-takers’ list with 12 scalps from 7 games. Talking about the Gt vs DC game, Pant, who returned to this year’s IPL after surviving a horror car crash, stood unbeaten on 16 after Australian batter Jake Fraser-McGurk made a brisk 20. The 26-year-old Pant, a left-hand batsman, has scored 210 runs, including two half-centuries, in a boost to his chances of a return to the T20 World Cup in June. India fast bowler Ishant Sharma dismissed captain Shubman Gill for eight in the second over of the match and Gujarat kept losing wickets to some disciplined bowling. The fielding remained impressive after Sumit Kumar sent back Sai Sudarshan for 12 with a direct throw at the non-striker’s end. Pant was nimble behind the stumps and started with a diving catch to dismiss David Miller off Ishant. The wicketkeeper affected two stumpings when his quick work sent back Abhinav Manohar, for eight, and Shahrukh Khan, for a duck in th espace of three balls off South African spinner Tristan Stubbs. Gujarat slipped to 66-7, but Rashid Khan resisted from one end with his gritty 31 off 24 balls before he fell caught behind with Pant taking a regulation catch behind the stumps. Gujarat’s total is the lowest this season in a contrast to some big scores including two record highs of 277 and then 287 by Sunrisers Hyderabad. (With AFP Inputs) Topics mentioned in this article

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Afghanistan vs South Africa 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Sep 20, Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 17:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd ODI 2024 In-form Afghanistan look to complete a series win over South Africa at the earliest opportunity! Afghanistan 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. AFG vs RSA Match Prediction & Analysis Everyone was expecting a competitive three-match ODI series in Sharjah between Afghanistan and South Africa but no-one foresaw such a one-sided opening match with Afghanistan once again confirming that they are a team to be taken seriously in this format of the game. TEAMS PREVIEW Afghanistan Preview Afghanistan have been a rapidly improving side, particularly in white ball cricket, over the last decade and they now look capable of regularly challenging some of the best teams in the world. The bowling trio of Fazalhaq Farooqi (4/35), AM Ghazanfar (3/20) and Rashid Khan (2/30) all caused substantial damage to South Africa’s batters on Wednesday and many expect them to do the same in this match, even if they have to work a little harder for dismissals! South Africa Preview The truth is that South Africa’s performance in the opening ODI of the series, particularly with the bat, was way under the required level and the team management will be expecting far more in this second game. Fortunately for the Proteas, they do have plenty of batting talent, with their top four or Reeza Hendricks, Tony de Zorzi, captain Aiden Markram and Tristan Stubbs all capable of single-handedly winning a white-ball game of cricket. Weather Conditions According to the weather forecast, we can expect calm and hot conditions in Sharjah on Thursday afternoon and evening. The temperature will be over 30 degrees from start to finish with humidity levels over 50%. AFG vs RSA Pitch Report There has only been one ODI score over 350 at this venue in Sharjah and we saw 14 wickets fall for only 213 runs in the opening game of the series. The pitch will be a bit better for batting in this ODI and whoever bats first will be looking to post a total of 250+.

From captain to bus driver: Fans react as Rohit Sharma takes up new role for Mumbai Indians

Danijones03 mins

Image Source : PTI Rohit Sharma. There is a humourous side to Rohit Sharma that often brings a smile to the faces of cricket fans around the world and ‘The Hitman’ showcased something similar when he took the driver’s seat of the Mumbai Indians’ team bus. In a viral video, Rohit can be seen acting as the driver of the Mumbai Indians’ (MI) team bus and entertaining the fans who had gathered around it to get a glimpse of their favourite stars. Watch the video: Rohit’s gesture amused the fans and got them laughing. Some of the fans who had assembled around the team bus took their phones out to capture the rib-tickling moment and the video is now doing rounds across several social media platforms. Meanwhile, Mumbai have suddenly picked up the winning momentum and have won two games on the trot. They are seventh on the points table with two wins in five games. Their net run rate (NRR) (-0.073) needs to improve as well.  The five-time champions will be taking on the defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the El Classico on Sunday (April 14) at the Wankhede Stadium. Mumbai Indians have history on their side as they have won 20 games against Chennai whereas CSK have won only 16 matches. Chennai Super Kings are coming into this contest on the back of an impressive seven-wicket over Kolkata Knight Riders. Hence, the clash between both sides promises to be an exciting one.

    Get to Know Who will win Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings, IPL 2024 Match and toss Prediction with Head to Head stats, Playing 11, Dream11, Live score, Win Probability & winning percentage. 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Apr 05, 2024 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄:19:30 IST / 14:00 GMT𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium – Hyderabad, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : IPL 2024 Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings Betting Tips Rachin Ravindra has been in prime form. He is yet to score a fifty but every time he came at the crease, he looked set to score a big one. He might be third time lucky so Rachin can be the top scorer for CSK. Matheesha Pathirana is a top choice to pick most wickets for CSK. He bowls at death and his searing yorkers are not easy to face. He picked three wickets against the Capitals.Heinrich Klaasen is in the form of his life. Game after game, he has played astonishing innings for SRH. He has already smacked a couple of fifties in IPL 2024. He is a great pick for SRH top batter. T Natarajan should be back in SRH playing XI. He is a great bowler to have in the team given the variations he brings to the table. He picked three wickets in the last game he played, against KKR.The last game played at this venue saw over 500 runs being scored. It was raining sixes and the bowlers looked helpless. Given the quality of batters in both teams, total sixes should be over 15.5 in the match. Sunrisers Hyderabad 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. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2024 SRH will take on CSK in the 18th match of the IPL 2024. The match will be played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium and will start at 7:30 PM IST on April 5. SRH has been on fire in IPL 2024. The points table suggest that the team has lost two out of the three games but mind you, they could have easily won all games. SRH suffered a defeat to GT in last game and that probably was their worst performance in the IPL 2024 so far.   However, they have the best batting line-up in the tournament and should bounce back strong. Travis Head looks to be in the form of his life and Abhishek Sharma is also going through a dream run. Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, Abdul Samad – SRH  have everything a team need to win an IPL.   The bowlers have leaked a few runs but the team is not short on quality, with Pat Cummins, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umran Malik, Mayank Markande at their disposal.  They have conceded over 200 runs in two out of the three games so they would need a bit more discipline but given that they also scored over 200 runs in those matches, we can’t get too harsh on them. SRH will be up against CSK, who will come into the game after losing to Delhi Capitals in Vizag. The defeat came as a shock as CSK were the favourites to win, however, MS Dhoni’s cameo down the order more of less made the fans forget about the loss and cherish the vintage Dhoni. Anyways, this is not a format where teams will win 100 per cent of their matches so CSK won’t be too disappointed. In a nutshell, CSK have a quality batting lineup and a potent bowling attack so they would be a tough opponent to take down for an on-song SRH. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings Match Toss PredictionThis is a bat first wicket. It is a top ground to bat and big runs can be scored here. Put runs on the board is the way to go on this belter of a surface. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings Pitch ReportThe surface will be great for batting. The last game here between SRH and MI saw over 500 runs being scored. A placid pitch once again awaits teams and a high scoring thriller is on the cards. Hyderabad Weather ReportThe temperature will be around 27 degrees in the evening. The humidity will be 28 per cent while wind speed will be 8 km per hour.

    ‘Can I bring my girlfriend?’: Gautam Gambhir reveals first conversation with ‘KKR’s MVP and brother’ Sunil Narine | Cricket News

    Danijones04 mins

    NEW DELHI: Kolkata Knight Riders mentor Gautam Gambhir has heaped praise on star all-rounder Sunil Narine, who played a pivotal role in KKR’s third Indian Premier League title this year. Narine was named the ‘Most Valuable Player’ of IPL 2024. Narine regained his magical touch this season, scoring 488 runs and taking 17 wickets throughout the tournament.In a recent interaction with Sportskeeda, Gambhir spoke about his camaraderie with Narine and reminisced about the latter’s early days in the KKR camp.Gambhir, who captained KKR to their IPL victories in 2012 and 2014, highlighted Narine’s crucial role in those triumphs.”Me and Narine are similar characters, and so are our emotions. I still remember that when Narine first came into the IPL in 2012, it was in Jaipur, and we were going for practice, and I told him to come join for lunch. He was so shy that he did not say a single word during lunch, and the first question that he eventually asked was, ‘Can I bring my girlfriend to the IPL?’,” Gambhir recalled.Gambhir suggested that he and Narine share a special bond, describing the all-rounder as a brother. “He was so quiet that first season, but now, we can talk about anything. He is like a brother to me. I don’t see him as a friend, I don’t see him as a teammate, I see him as a brother. If I need him or he needs me, I think we are just one call away, that is the sort of relationship that we have built. We do not get excited much, we do not show too many emotions, we are not flamboyant, we just do the job and come back,” he added.Gambhir also emphasized Narine’s consistent value to KKR, asserting that he has always been the team’s ‘MVP’. “What can I say about him? Even if he didn’t win the ‘most valuable player award’ he would have still been the MVP. You are looking at his stats but he was KKR’s MVP even before the season got underway. The world has seen his talent as an all-rounder and I’m sure that Narine still has plenty to give to KKR and world cricket,” Gambhir explained.
