South Africa vs Sri Lanka, SL vs SA 2024, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : South Africa vs Sri Lanka𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 05 ,​Thursday​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 :​ 13:30 PM IST​​​​​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Saint George’s Park, Gqeberha, South Africa𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 2nd Test 2024 Can Sri Lanka put an end to South Africa’s dominance at home? South Africa vs Sri Lanka 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 SL Match Prediction & Analysis The second and final Test of the two-match Test series between South Africa and Sri Lanka is about to commence on December 5 at St George’s Park in Gqebera. South Africa have taken an early 1-0 lead and have in the process, bolstered their chances of making it to their maiden WTC final by crushing the visitors by 233 runs in the Durban Test.  History was made on that day as South Africa were able to overcome their jinx and register their maiden Test win against Sri Lanka in Durban. While both teams are still in contention for a spot in the WTC final, South Africa appear as strong favorites following their monumental win in the first Test.   Head-to-Head Record: South Africa and Sri Lanka share a long yet rich history in Test cricket. In their 31-year-long Test history, South Africa have emerged victorious in 17 out of 32 Tests with Sri Lanka managing to win 9 of them. But in South Africa, the tourists have only managed to win on three occasions since 1998. Furthermore, in their last five Test fixtures, South Africa managed to have the upper hand as well winning 3 out of the last 5 Tests. TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview South African camp would be brewing in confidence after their famous win in Durban. Not only were they able to bury the ghosts of the 2019 Test defeat (which saw them lose the series), but the hosts have now made a statement with that win making them a force to reckon with in the WTC points table. Marco Jansen was simply unplayable in that match and delivered his career-best Test figures of 7/13 & 4/73 to power SA to a crushing win.  However, the team has been rocked by injury updates as Coetzee and Mulder have both been ruled out for the rest of the summer. Experts estimate that the teenager Kwena Maphaka may get a go in their absence while the management would also be considering either getting Dane Paterson or Senuran Muthusamy to fill the second vacant spot. Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka walked into the series with a lot of promise but their poor show with the bat in the first innings has raised questions about their overall resilience as a unit. The Lankan seamers featuring Kumara and the two Fernandos were breathing fire and caused a lot of headaches to the Proteas batters with the new ball.  But when it was their turn to bat, Sri Lanka folded for their lowest-ever Test score of 42-10 with only two batters managing to get to double figures. From that moment, Sri Lanka were playing the catch-up game as SA batted effortlessly in the second innings and mounted a target of 516 which proved way beyond the reach of the visitors. Following their humiliating defeat, Sri Lanka would be forced to make some changes to their lineup. Sadeera Samarawickrama, being a technically astute batter has been a consistent performer for Sri Lanka across all three formats and he could be given a green signal.  Weather Conditions We expect partially cloudy weather on all five days of the Test match with little to no rain threat. Temperatures throughout all five days are expected to be at a modest high of 27C but can drop to as low as 19C when the evening approaches. Overall, the weather is going to be warm with wind speed expected to be in the range of 20-35 km/hr.   RSA vs SL Pitch Report The lively deck at St George’s Park offers prodigious assistance to the fast bowlers in the form of sharp pace and bounce. Moreover, the ball also has a tendency to nip around off the seam when the ball is new. As the Test match starts progressing to the latter stages, the natural deterioration starts taking effect as the cracks get longer making batting in the fourth innings a very daunting affair. From a batter’s standpoint, the ball will move around quite a bit both in the air and off the pitch and there will be no easy runs on offer for the most part of the Test. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first have a slight edge. Whilst the average first innings score batting first amounts to a healthy 312, the score drops all the way down to 156 in the fourth innings. This highlights the extraordinary difficulty of batting last and keeping this factor in mind, teams should look to bat first and refrain from the possibility of chasing. In the 32 Test matches played at this venue the team batting first won 14 matches, while the team batting second won 13 matches.

'It's all about...': KKR mentor Gautam Gambhir backs under-fire pacer Mitchell Starc | Cricket News

‘It’s all about…’: KKR mentor Gautam Gambhir backs under-fire pacer Mitchell Starc | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: Gautam Gambhir, the mentor of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), came to the defence of Mitchell Starc, emphasising that the Australian pacer’s recent struggles in the IPL do not define his abilities as a bowler. Despite Starc’s underwhelming performance, Gambhir highlighted the importance of team success over individual brilliance.Starc, who was acquired by KKR for a significant amount of Rs 24.75 crore, has faced criticism for his lackluster returns in the tournament.With just two wickets to his name at an average of 77 and an economy rate of 11 runs per over across four matches, Starc’s form has been far from ideal.However, Gambhir refrained from labeling Starc as a “bad bowler,” acknowledging that cricket is a team sport where individual performances often fluctuate.Instead, he emphasized the collective effort required for the team’s success, suggesting that Starc’s contribution, while not meeting expectations statistically, may still have positive implications within the team dynamic.IPL: POINTS TABLE | ORANGE CAP | PURPLE CAP“It (his poor stats) doesn’t matter, T20 cricket is all about bowlers getting smashed. We’ve got three wins out of four,” Gambhir said.Ahead of their match against LSG in Kolkata, Gambhir added, “In a team sport, it’s the wins that matter. We have got three wins out of four. Why should I not be happy with anyone’s performance? See, people have bad and good days, ultimately, it’s the team that needs to win.“And we’ve got decent results in the first four games of the competition. And we all know how big a threat Mitchell Starc is. Four games doesn’t make him a bad bowler.“And four good games doesn’t make him a brilliant bowler either. So I know what impact he can create and what impact he will create in the competition.”Gambhir further said the Aussie will create an “impact” going forward.“Tomorrow it might be a completely different day. Or probably going forward, it could be a completely different day. An individual can have a brilliant performance and the team doesn’t end up winning.“There’s no reason why you should talk about individual performance. I feel that Mitchell Starc has done reasonably okay. I think he’s bowled some tough overs. And he will create an impact, what he’s been picked for,” he said.A new startGambhir, who served as the mentor for LSG in the last two seasons, has made a return to his former team, KKR. Gambhir had previously led Kolkata to two IPL titles in 2012 and 2014 during his tenure with the franchise from 2011 to 2017.During Gambhir’s time as the mentor of LSG, KKR faced them three times without securing a victory. Despite this, Gambhir remains optimistic about the new season, emphasising that each day presents a fresh opportunity to begin anew.“It’s a new day, new start. What difference does it make that what has happened in the last two years? It really makes no difference. We start from scratch.“All of us are really looking forward to the game tomorrow. You know, it’s a quality side. But we are a quality side as well,” he said.Gambhir further reacted to criticism about their head coach Chandrakant Pandit‘s “militant style” of functioning.“I don’t read a lot about what has been said and stuff, but it’s been early days. My working relationship with him has been really, really good and hopefully it continues that way.“He’s been very successful in domestic cricket and that’s why he got this opportunity, so far it’s been really good working with him.”Former KKR all-rounder David Wiese had earlier described Pandit as a strict disciplinarian and a “militant-type” coach.(With PTI inputs)

Police Arrest Golf World No.1 Scottie Scheffler Outside PGA Course. Here's The Reason

Police Arrest Golf World No.1 Scottie Scheffler Outside PGA Course. Here’s The Reason

Golf world number one Scottie Scheffler was handcuffed and arrested on Friday after allegedly dragging a police officer with his car while trying to avoid traffic controls outside the PGA Championship at Valhalla. In one of the strangest scenes ever at a major tournament, Scheffler was taken into custody by police, booked with a mugshot taken in an orange jumpsuit, released, returned to the course in time for his second round, then recovered well enough to fire a five-under par 66 and share third early in the second round. “I still feel like my head is spinning a little bit but I was fortunate to be able to make it back out and play some golf,” Scheffler said. “I’ve kept myself in the tournament now with a pretty chaotic day.” Scheffler, 27, was charged with felony assault on a police officer, criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding signals from an officer directing traffic and released. “My situation will get handled,” Scheffler said. “I can’t comment on any of the specifics, but it was just a huge misunderstanding that will get resolved I think fairly quickly.” Scheffler was detained by Louisville Metro police after he drove onto curbing trying to get around a prior accident at the Valhalla entrance, one that resulted in the fatality of a pedestrian named as John Mills. “My sympathies go out to the family of Mr. Mills,” Scheffler said. “I can’t imagine what they’re going through.” A police report on the incident obtained by ESPN said arresting officer Bryan Gillis says Scheffler disobeyed orders to stop his car and accelerated, dragging the officer to the ground. Gillis was hospitalized with pain, bruising and swelling in his left wrist and knee. An arraignment is set for Tuesday. “I never intended to disregard any of the instructions,” Scheffler said in a statement before his round. Scheffler, who won his second Masters title last month, arrived at Valhalla’s clubhouse about 30 minutes after his release and just under an hour before his start time in the second round, which began after an 80-minute delay due to the accident. “We were devastated to learn that a worker with one of our vendors was tragically struck and killed by a shuttle bus,” the PGA of America said in a statement. “This is heartbreaking to all of us involved with the PGA Championship.” The PGA of America later identified Mills and said of Scheffler, “We are fully cooperating as local authorities review what took place.” ‘I was pretty rattled’ Scheffler was driven from the booking, by the owner of Valhalla Golf Club according to ESPN, to the clubhouse, where he ate breakfast and changed into his golf apparel before going to the practice range to prepare for his round. “I was pretty rattled to say the least,” Scheffler said. “I was shaking. I would say in shock and in fear. Coming out here and trying to play today was definitely a challenge, but I did my best. “It probably took a few holes to feel normal.” Fans cheered as Scheffler walked through the rain onto the course and gave him a huge ovation just before his first shot landed in the right rough on his way to an opening birdie. “The fans were tremendous today,” Scheffler said. “I felt like they were cheering extra loud for me.” Scheffler’s mugshot in an orange jumpsuit was posted by the Louisville Metropolitan Department of Corrections after he was booked. Some fans had it on T-shirts at the course. Scheffler has won four of his past five starts, capturing Bay Hill and the Players in March, losing in a playoff at the Houston Open, then winning the Masters and Heritage last month. American Mark Hubbard, on 133 with Scheffler, was amazed at his performance. “I saw as everybody did the mug shot and the police report,” Hubbard said. “Unbelievable that he gets arrested and then goes out and shoots 66.” Scheffler was the feel-good story of the week at Valhalla, hoping to win his third major title a week after becoming a father for the first time. His wife, Meredith, gave birth to son Bennett nine days ago. (This story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.) Topics mentioned in this article

Zimbabwe 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. ZIM vs PAK Match Prediction & Analysis It was one-way traffic from the moment Pakistan’s spinners took control, leaving Zimbabwe struggling to find their footing with the bat, ball, and field. Pakistan followed up with a near-perfect display in the second ODI, cruising to a dominant ten-wicket victory to level the series in style.

TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview Zimbabwe heads into the third ODI with the series on the line and a point to prove.

Joylord Gumbie will open the innings with Tadiwanashe Marumani. Gumbie has 164 runs in the last 9 games while Marumani scored 29 in the first game. Dion Myers will come at number three. Myers was their leading run-scorer (33) in the second ODI. The top-order averages below 20 in the ODI format for Zimbabwe which can be a concern. Pakistan Preview Pakistan enters the third ODI brimming with confidence after a dominant all-round performance in the second game. Their spinners, led by debutant Abrar Ahmed, have been pivotal in putting Zimbabwe under pressure, and they will look to replicate that success in the decider. Sam Ayub scored the second-fastest ton for Pakistan in the second ODI. He has 249 runs in the five ODIs so far at a strike rate of 120.28. He will be the batter to watch out for. Abdullah Shafique will open with him. Shafiq remained not out on 32 in their 10-wicket win in the second ODI. Kamran Ghulam will come at number three.

'RCB clear favourites, they'll advance to Qualifier 2': Ex-CSK star sidelines RR in bold prediction before Eliminator

‘RCB clear favourites, they’ll advance to Qualifier 2’: Ex-CSK star sidelines RR in bold prediction before Eliminator

Six-time IPL winning star Ambati Rayudu has picked Royal Challengers Bengaluru as clear favourites in the eliminator against Rajasthan Royals as the momentum is in their favour after the win over Chennai Super Kings. Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s players celebrate after winning the Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Chennai Super Kings.(AFP) In the first half of the IPL, RCB were languishing at the bottom of the table while RR were sky-high at the top, but Faf du Plessis and Co. produced one of the best comebacks in tournament history to finish fourth after the league stage. They won six matches on a trot and outclassed CSK in their final league stage match to pip them for the fourth spot in the playoffs. Unlock exclusive access to the latest news on India’s general elections, only on the HT App. Download Now! Download Now! “I think RCB are clear favourites for me, because of the way they are playing and they’ve had a clinical game against CSK and for RR I don’t know if this gap in play will help, this washout would help them in going into an eliminator against RCB who I feel right now are a matured side and every player over there knows his role. So I think RCB are the ones who will eventually go into qualifiers 2,” Rayudu said on Star Sports Cricket Live. After losing seven of the first eight matches, RCB somehow managed to bounce back and win match after match to make a case for themselves for the playoff spot when many had written them off. With six wins a trot in the second half and a total of 14 points, RCB secured a higher net-run rate than Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals, and Lucknow Super Giants, who also had 14 points. Former India paceman Varun Aaron also backed RCB for the mega eliminator as he feels Virat Kohli deserves the title after years of hardwork. “He’s got a trophy to get. That’s what’s left for him. One thing that he’s not got in all these years is the IPL trophy. He’s given his heart and soul to this franchise. The fans love him, and the fans from other teams also love him. “But the IPL has been that elusive one for Virat Kohli which he has to get this year. He will want to get that this year, especially after you win six games on the trot and go into a playoff like this,” he added. The former RCB paceman further said that Du Plessis and Co. have the perfect momentum to get past the Royals who looked sluggish in their last few matches. “All it does to you is heighten your self-belief, not just his, but the whole team. So they are going to go in with a lot of belief, very contrasting to the Rajasthan Royals who are going in with a lot of doubts. So it’s going to be a very interesting encounter and I completely back RCB on this one just because of the momentum they are taking into this encounter,” he added.

"I Am 5 Feet 3 Inches": Ex-India Star Body-Shamed For Calling Glenn Maxwell "Over-Rated"

“I Am 5 Feet 3 Inches”: Ex-India Star Body-Shamed For Calling Glenn Maxwell “Over-Rated”

On Saturday, Royal Challengers Bengaluru chased down a target of 148 against Gujarat Titans in just 13.4 overs in Bengaluru. While the number of overs left might make one believe that RCB had it easy, it was not so. RCB lost six wickets and had it not been for some rearguard action by Dinesh Karthik and Swapnil Singh, things would have been tricky for RCB. The chase started on a string footing for RCB as they crossed in the Powerplay. Just when it looked like RCB would cruise to the target, they started losing wickets. From 92/0 in 5.4 overs RCB were reduced to 111/6 in 10. 4 overs. Faf du Plessis (64) and Virat Kohli (42) were the only good performers as stars like Will Jacks (1), Rajat Patidar (2), Glenn Maxwell (1), Cameron Green (1)  fell like a pack of cards. It prompted former Indian cricket team wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel to call Glenn Maxwell over-rated. “Glenn Maxwell….HE IS THE MOST OVERRATED player in the history of ipl…#IPL2024 ….” he wrote on X. glenn maxwell….HE IS THE MOST OVERRATED player in the history of ipl…#IPL2024 …. — parthiv patel (@parthiv9) May 4, 2024 For that comment, he was brutally trolled and even body-shamed. i am 5”3… that matters? https://t.co/H5GOY3BcEy — parthiv patel (@parthiv9) May 4, 2024 this happened once also..trophy was bigger thn me.. https://t.co/RZ3j07zsYx — parthiv patel (@parthiv9) May 4, 2024 watching 2024!! https://t.co/B92aMJ4iV1 — parthiv patel (@parthiv9) May 4, 2024 Talking about the match, Royal Challengers Bengaluru pressed the self-destruction button halfway but a blazing fifty by captain Faf du Plessis had enough torque in it to carry them to a four-wicket over Gujarat Titans in their IPL match on Saturday. Du Plesiss (64, 23b, 10×4, 3×6) and Kohli (42, 27b, 2×4, 4×6), who added 92 runs in just 35 balls for the opening wicket, were in prime touch as Royal Challengers moved past a frail target of 148, braving some nervy moments, most of it their own creation. The win also lifted RCB to seventh place on the table with eight points from 11 matches, and kept their mathematical chances of making it to the play-offs alive.

MATCH: West Indies vs England DATE: Dec 03, 2023TIME: 19:30 IST / 14:00 GMTVENUE: Sir Vivian Richards Stadium – Antigua, Antigua And Barbuda TOURNAMENT: West Indies vs England 1st ODI 2023 West Indies vs England Betting Tips Shai Hope has scored 15 centuries in this format and is a very consistent performer in ODI cricket. The skipper is well worth backing as West Indies’ highest run scorer against England. Alzarri Joseph has best figures of 5/56 in this format and the quick bowler is a strong choice for West Indies’ top wicket taker on Sunday.Jos Buttler has hit 11 hundreds and 25 half-centuries in ODI cricket and the 33 year old right-handed captain is our tip for England’s highest run scorer in Antigua. Gus Atkinson took 2/45 including the wicket of Babar Azam in England’s last ODI and the pace bowler is our pick for their top wicket taker against West Indies.After the very poor 2023 Cricket World Cup, Jos Buttler will be desperate to lead the way with his batting in this series. We expect him to hit over 31.5 runs in this opening ODI. West Indies 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. WI vs ENG 1st ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips The first of three ODIs between West Indies and England gets underway on Sunday morning in Antigua. This will be West Indies’ first ODI since losing a three-game series to India 2-1 across July and August. England failed miserably to defend their World Cup title last month and will see this as an opportunity to start a new cycle in this format. Read on as we preview this game. This ODI gets underway at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound at 09:30 local time. The recent World Cup in India was the first to ever not have West Indies competing and the cricket board are desperate to not let it happen again. There is plenty of talent across the islands but it may be too much for them to get a win in this opening game. After beginning the 2023 Cricket World Cup as defending champions, England’s fall was spectacular but the whole team management will now be looking to develop a new squad and method over the next four years. Even with an experimental squad for this series, they should have enough to go 1-0 up in Antigua. WI vs ENG Match Toss PredictionThe last three ODIs at this venue have been won by the team fielding first and then chasing down a target to win. Our prediction is that both captains will choose to field first if they win the toss ahead of this opening game of the series. WI vs ENG Pitch ReportWe do not expect this pitch to be particularly quick and there should be turn, although it could be slow turn, at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. A par score will be around 295-305. North Sound, Antigua Weather ReportThe temperature will be in the mid-high 20s throughout this game with the forecast for some sunny spells mixed in with some cloud. It will be quite humid across the entire ODI. Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for West Indies vs England 1st ODI 2023

United States of America vs Nepal, ICCCWCLT, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : United States of America vs Nepal𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 27, Sunday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 21:00 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Prairie View Cricket Complex, Houston 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ ICC Cricket World Cup League Two, 2023-27 In ODIs, Nepal enjoy a 4-2 head-to-head advantage over the United States. United States of America vs Nepal 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. USA vs NEP Match Prediction & Analysis United States of America will clash with Nepal in the second game of the World Cup League 2 (WCL-2) tri-series this Sunday at the Prairie View Cricket Complex. Currently, USA are in second place in the table with 12 points and an NRR of 0.637. Meanwhile, Nepal are way down below in seventh place with just 3 points from 8 games and an NRR of -0.529.  TEAMS PREVIEW United States of America Preview USA have won 6 of the 9 games they have played in the ICC WCL-2. They have started this tri-series with a 10-wicket win loss to Scotland. However, with three more games left in the league stage, they are favorites to retain their place in the top two. Nepal Preview Nepal have managed just one win from their 8 games in the WCL-2. This means they are struggling in seventh place with just 3 points. Even if they win their remaining four games in the league stage, they will get themselves up to 11 points, which won’t be enough to secure a top-two finish. Weather Conditions The pitch at Prairie View Cricket Complex usually is on the slower side. Bowlers who use slower ones and cutters along with spinners will find purchase here. However, batters who spend some time on the surface can go on to make a big one. Batting typically gets easier in the second innings. The weather in Houston will be cloudy but warm. There is no forecast of rain so we will get a full game.  USA vs NEP Pitch Report The previous match between USA and Scotland was the first ODI played at the Prairie View Cricket Complex. USA were bowled out for just 144 after being asked to bowl first, and Scotland overhauled the target inside 25 overs without losing a wicket. The team batting first in this game will be looking to set a target of around 250 runs.
