'Will park few balls out of Long Island...': Rohit, Kohli ignored as Shastri picks 2 players key to India’s T20WC hopes

‘Will park few balls out of Long Island…’: Rohit, Kohli ignored as Shastri picks 2 players key to India’s T20WC hopes

With less than a month’s time left before India kicked off their T20 World Cup campaign in New York against Ireland on June 5, former India head coach Ravi Shastri picked two players who will play a key role in the side’s title hopes. And it’s neither Virat Kohli nor captain Rohit Sharma who will likely play their final T20I appearance at the tournament. Shastri instead picked two left-handed batters who are all set to make a debut in a multi-nation ICC tournament for India – Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dube. Ravi Shastri picks 2 players key to India’s T20 World Cup hopes Jaiswal has stated success recently after smashing a record tally of runs in the Test series against England at home earlier this year, which is part of the ongoing ICC World Test Championship series. However, he has been a force to reckon with in the shortest format as well, where he amassed 502 runs in just 16 innings for India since his debut in mid-2023, which comprises a century and four fifties. “The two gentlemen you’ve got to watch out for, and both are left-handers, both playing their first World Cup,” Shastri told ICC. “One is [Yashasvi] Jaiswal. We know a lot about him, he did extremely well against England, explosive at the top of the order, left-hander, he’s young, he’s fearless and he’ll play shots.” ‘Watch out for Shivam Dube’: Ravi Shastri The other player that Shastri picked is Chennai Super Kings star Dube, who cracked 26 sixes in just 11 matches in the ongoing IPL 2024 season. The left-hander earned his spot in the Indian T20 World Cup squad on the back of a stellar show in the T20 league in 2023 and 2024, along with his two back-to-back fifties for India in the home T20I contest against Afghanistan earlier in January. “But there’s someone in the middle order, please watch out for [him], because he is explosive, he’s devastating and he’s a match-winner. He hits sixes for fun, and when it comes to spin bowling, he can kill you,” Shastri said. “He’ll park a few balls out of Long Island into the small island, he’s that kind of a player. He hits it big, he hits it long, and like I said, against spin, he could kill you. “Even against the fast bowlers, he’s worked out his game, he’s understood the way to play and I think he holds the key at that number five, number six position because if you’re on the doldrums, you want someone to change it in 20-25 balls, he’s the player to go to.” Shastri was effusive in his praise for the tall all-rounder saying that he could be the key to unlocking big totals for India in the T20 World Cup. Dube has struck at a rate of 170.73 in this ongoing IPL season, while scoring a boundary in almost four deliveries. “His strike rate, which will be close to 200 most of the time, will help India immensely in going forward, getting those 190s, 200s that are needed in big competitions, especially like the [T20] World Cup. So enjoy it, watch out for this left-hander — he’s big, he’s strapping, and he hits a long ball.”

MATCH: Khulna Tigers vs Durdanto Dhaka DATE: Jan 29, 2024TIME: 18:00 IST / 12:30 GMTVENUE: Sylhet International Cricket Stadium – Sylhet, Bangladesh TOURNAMENT: SA20 2024 Khulna Tigers vs Durdanto Dhaka Betting Tips Evin Lewis has hit 90 runs across his last two innings and the left-hander is our tip for Khulna Tigers’ highest run scorer against Durdanto Dhaka. With the ball, Dasun Shanaka took 4/16 from three overs in Sylhet on Friday and the Sri Lankan is our pick for their top wicket taker in this match.We expect Saim Ayub to be Durdanto Dhaka’s highest run scorer on Monday evening. The Pakistan international has a fine T20 record and this will be his second game of the tournament. Shoriful Islam had to wait until the 19th over to pick up a wicket in the last game but we are backing him to be Durdanto Dhaka’s top wicket taker in this game.After an excellent bowling performance on this pitch on Friday, we recommend selecting Dasun Shanaka to take over 1.5 wiickets in this game. Khulna Tigers vs Durdanto Dhaka 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. KHT vs DD T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BPL 2024 Match 14 of the 2024 Bangladesh Premier League sees Khulna Tigers take on Durdanto Dhaka at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Monday evening. The Tigers have had an excellent start to the tournament and have a 100% record after three games. Durdanto Dhaka have won one and lost one so far. Read on as we preview this fixture. The match begins in Sylhet at 18:30 local time. Khulna Tigers have already beaten Chattogram Challengers, Fortune Barishal and Rangpur Riders in this year’s BPL and seeing Durdanto Dhaka as their opposition is unlikely to cause them many worries. We are expecting another win for the Tigers. Durdanto Dhaka clearly have some excellent players, particularly in the bowling attack, but their batting has continually been an issue in this tournament. If the batting fails again then it will be very hard for Dhaka to get a victory on Monday. KHT vs DD Match Toss PredictionAlthough Durdanto Dhaka elected to field first after winning the toss in Sylhet on Saturday and then fell to a big defeat, we expect both skippers to want to field first ahead of this match. KHT vs DD Pitch ReportThe pitch in Sylhet always speeds up during the evening games which should help the batters. As a result we expect a par score of around 180. Sylhet Weather ReportThe forecast for Monday evening is for the temperature to fall from 17 to 15 degrees although the humidity levels will be over 80% throughout.

Australia vs England, ICCCT, Today Match Prediction

Australia vs England, ICCCT, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​ Australia vs England 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 22, Saturday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore Cantt, Pakistan 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 4th ODI 2025 Australia and England begin their 2025 ICC Champions Trophy with a clash in Lahore! Australia 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. AUS vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis Whenever Australia and England go head to head in any sport, there is plenty at stake and this game will be no different as both look to get off to a winning start in Group B of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy. There is an Ashes series on the horizon for late in the year but all focus will be on this clash in Lahore as both sides look to put poor recent ODI performances and poor ICC Champions Trophy showing behind them. Australia may have won the last Cricket World Cup but they are without their top three pace bowlers in Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood so their attack may lack some of it’s usual potency. TEAMS PREVIEW Australia Preview After dominating the Test series and winning 2-0, the boot was on the other foot in the ODI series as Australia were beaten 2-0 without putting up a fight on their recent tour to Sri Lanka. As a result, Steven Smith’s side must raise their game ahead of this clash even if their opponents are also in disappointing form. For a proud cricketing nation like Australia, their recent record in the ICC Champions Trophy, where they haven’t won a game since 2009, make for painful reading, so they will be looking to their experienced heads to get them through this opener. Top of that list will be Travis Head who has an exceptional ODI record against England and captain Smith who has hit over 17,000 international runs. England Preview England have been a very disappointing ODI side since they won the 2019 Cricket World Cup courtesy of the now famous Super-Over against New Zealand at Lord’s. But with Brendan McCullum leading the side, hopes are high that they could find some form from nowhere and dominate this tournament with an aggressive batting style. Key to the team will be opener Ben Duckett who has just recovered from an injury but has an excellent record in this format, particularly against Australia. Phil Salt will take on the role of ‘pinch hitter’ and will look to clear the boundary at every opportunity in the powerplay. With the ball, Adil Rashid has a strong record against Australia and the pace of Jofra Archer is always a point of difference across any format, particularly when he is fully fit. Weather Conditions The forecast is for pleasant weather in Lahore throughout Saturday with the temperature up at 22 degrees from the first ball. Although this is a day-nighter, the temperature will not drop below 19 degrees.  AUS vs ENG Pitch Report As seen in the recently completed Pakistan Tri-Nation Series, this is a good batting wicket with players generally finding it easy to score runs at a steady pace outside of the powerplay. A par score will be around 350. Toss: To Bat There is an even spread of victories for teams batting first and bowling first in recent 50-over internationals at the Gaddafi Stadium. Humidity levels will increase in the second half of the game so we predict that both sides will want to bat first on Saturday.

THU vs REN T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BBL 2024 Match 40 of the 2023/24 Big Bash League sees Sydney Thunder take on Melbourne Renegades at the Sydney Showground Stadium on Wednesday evening. The teams are in the bottom two places of the table with Sydney Thunder two points behind the Renegades. Read on as we preview this final group stage match of this season’s tournament. This game begins at 19:15 local time in Sydney. Sydney Thunder had reached the play-offs in each of the last four BBLs but they have come up way short in this campaign. They have underperformed with both bat and ball and they will need to find a performance from somewhere if they are to avoid finishing bottom of the table. Melbourne Renegades have seen many of their players come and go during this season and next year they will have to prioritise getting players in for the duration of the tournament. However, even with the disruption, they still got a derby win in their last game and they will fancy their chances to make it two wins in a row.

'Rinku Singh is coming': Shivam Dube shown no mercy after back-to-back golden ducks in IPL 2024 post T20WC selection

‘Rinku Singh is coming’: Shivam Dube shown no mercy after back-to-back golden ducks in IPL 2024 post T20WC selection

Shivam Dube was probably among the happiest last Tuesday when he made the cut to the 15-member India squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup squad on the back of his stellar show in the 2023 and ongoing 2024 editions of the Indian Premier League. However, over the next five days, Dube incurred back-to-back golden ducks for Chennai Super Kings, leaving fans worried as they sent the left-hander a ‘Rinku Singh’ warning. Shivam Dube registered back-to-back ducks in IPL 2024 in a space of five days Dube’s position in the T20 World Cup squad was never in doubt after a stunning show in the opening half of the IPL 2024 season, in addition to the back-to-back fifties he scored against Afghanistan in India’s last and final T20I home series before the World Cup earlier in January. He had also picked two wickets in the contest. Unlock exclusive access to the latest news on India’s general elections, only on the HT App. Download Now! Download Now! Furthermore, India captain Rohit Sharma went a step ahead to even hint at Dube’s selection in the playing XI for India at the World Cup, purely owing to his power-hitting, although he also expects the CSK star to role his arms for a few overs. “We needed someone to come in middle overs and play that role. We picked Shivam Dube based on what he has done in IPL and a few games he played before IPL,” he said in a press conference held at BCCI headquarters in Mumbai on Thursday. “I will be expecting if we need Shivam to ball a few overs, he will. Same with Hardik, he has come and bowled whenever needed. All-rounders must do that whatever their role is.” However, since the big announcement on Tuesday, Dube incurred back-to-back dismissals for golden duck, both against Punjab Kings. He was undone by Harpreet Brar on May 1 in Chepauk and by Rahul Chahar on Sunday at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala. The dismissals did not go down well with fans on social media who were quick to point out that a certain Rinku, who is part of the reserves list, is in waiting to make the main squad for the World Cup. Following Dube’s dismissal, Moeen Ali and Ravindra Jadeja did try to pull things back with the latter scoring 43, but CSK only managed to score 167 for nine in 20 overs. Rahul and Harshal Patel were the pick of the bowlers with both picking three wickets each.
