Jasprit Bumrah has gone wicketless in the last two games but is a world class pace bowler and he is a strong choice for Mumbai Indians’ top wicket taker on Sunday.Skipper Rishabh Pant comes into this game after hitting successive half-centuries and he is our pick for Delhi Capitals’ highest run scorer against Mumbai Indians. Ishant Sharma took two wickets against Kolkata and conceded just eight runs in the final over to prevent an IPL record team total.

Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2024 Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals go head to head in Match 20 of the 2024 Indian Premier League at the Wankhede Stadium. After three games in this campaign, Mumbai Indians are still looking for their first win whereas Delhi Capitals have won one of four. Read on as we preview this match. The day-night fixture gets underway in Mumbai at 15:30 local time on Sunday April 7th. This was not the start that Mumbai Indians were looking for ahead of this year’s IPL and so far they have suffered defeats against Gujarat Titans, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals. However, with the potential return of Suryakumar Yadav to the side, this could be the boost they need. Playing against the only team beneath them in the table, Delhi Capitals will fancy their chances of getting their second win of the tournament. Their bowlers need to be smarter in this game though after they showed little intelligence or variety against KKR in their last game. Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals Match Toss Prediction11 of the last 14 IPL games at the Wankhede Stadium have been won by the team fielding first so we predict that both captains will choose to chase if they win the toss. Mumbai Indians vs Delhi CapitalsPitch ReportThis is not the easiest batting pitch with turn for the spinners and sideways movement for the quick bowlers. A par score is likely to be no higher than 150 with the pitch getting easier to bat on as the game progresses.

They will come into this match believing they can win from any position. IND vs SL Match Toss PredictionThe three times a skipper chose to bat first in the Super Fours yielded only one victory and we predict that both captains will want to field first ahead of this match. IND vs SL Pitch ReportAlthough this can look like a good batting wicket at times, there is assistance from the pitch for the bowlers and overhead conditions which also assist the swing bowlers. The pitch at R.Premadasa Stadium is currently offering a good track for the bowlers. The pitch slows down as the match progresses, making it difficult to bat on in the 2nd half of the game. The average innings score is around 265. Colombo Weather ReportThe Colombo weather forecast is similar to what we have seen throughout the Super Fours with high humidity and a chance of rain interrupting play from time to time.

Unbelievable. Where do you bowl to him? I am so glad I am not playing cricket now. At this age, where do you bowl to this guy? “He has got an answer for every ball you bowl to him, whether it’s wide yorker, bouncer. He can play sweep, pull, upper cut and I don’t what else he can play. He is a different kind of a player,” Former India spinner Harbhajan said on Star Sports.

T20 World Cup: India look to assess pitch and second fast-bowling option in only warm-up game | Cricket News

Danijones5 months ago05 mins

NEW DELHI: Yashasvi Jaiswal will strive to contribute to the team’s combination puzzle with a valuable performance, while Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj must showcase their best efforts during India’s sole T20 World Cup warm-up match against Bangladesh before their tournament opener on June 5.Despite all 15 players being regular starters for their respective IPL teams, the squad boasts an abundance of talent.However, discovering the optimal combination will be crucial to ending India’s 11-year international trophy drought.In the warm-up game, it is anticipated that all 14 players, except for Virat Kohli, who is expected to arrive sometime before the practice match, will be given an opportunity to play, as the game does not have official status. This will provide a chance to assess each player’s form after most of the core team members enjoyed a two-week break.Captain Rohit Sharma and departing head coach Rahul Dravid will need to make two critical decisions. Even if Jaiswal is in good form, integrating him into the team will be challenging, as it would require leaving out a power-hitter like Shivam Dube from the playing XI.It is a foregone conclusion that Jaiswal might have to sit out, allowing Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to open the batting. This decision could also create an opportunity for Dube to feature later in the tournament.“Shivam Dube is a six-hitting machine. He can be the ‘x-factor’ in the T20 World Cup. But if Shivam has to be in the XI, then you can’t play Yashasvi. Rohit has to take that call and I prefer both pace-bowling all-rounders in the XI. If Shivam plays, he can take on the opposition wrist spinners in the latter half,” Suresh Raina, one of India’s premier T20 batters of his time, said on Friday when asked about a possible combination.India’s second challenge will be identifying Jasprit Bumrah‘s opening pace-bowling partner. Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj have been inconsistent in the IPL, and their performances have not met expectations.RP Singh, a key player in India’s victory in the first edition, believes that Hardik Pandya‘s four overs will be crucial. Furthermore, he suggests that Arshdeep should be the second frontline pacer on the newly-installed drop-in pitch.Discussing the ideal length to bowl on the US pitches during early morning starts, Singh emphasized the importance of variations, which make Arshdeep a better bet compared to Siraj.“As per my understanding, there should be a bit of slowness in the wicket. So, the ideal length will be somewhere around just short of good length. There will not be a lot of swing for the bowlers but the bowlers with variations, not only yorkers but also slower ones, leg and off cutters…,” RP replied to a PTI query during a promotional event in Delhi.“These deliveries will be utilised a bit more by Arshdeep, so the success rate will be automatically higher for him and that’s what I understand the wickets in the US,” he explained.Facing Bangladesh on a pitch that offers less pace, India’s middle-order batsmen will be tested by the spin duo of Shakib Al Hasan and Mahedi Hasan. Additionally, they will need to find answers to the variations posed by cutter master Mustafizur Rahaman.(With PTI inputs)

England vs Australia, AUS vs ENG 2024, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : England vs Australia𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Sep 29, Sunday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 15:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Seat Unique Stadium, Bristol, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 5TH ODI 2024 Back-in-form hosts out to clinch the series United Arab Emirates vs United States of America 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. ENG vs AUS Match Prediction & Analysis England humbled the visitors in the 4th ODI at Lord’s. They not only outplayed the Australians with the bat but were brutal with their bowling attack as well. Skipper Harry Brook is in fine touch in the middle order and is leading the batting lineup quite well. Australia, with some of the biggest stars in one-day international cricket, were underwhelming in their performances. The pace trio of Hazlewood, Starc, and Abbott failed to put the hosts under pressure. Adam Zampa, a key figure in this bowling attack was the target of the English middle order as they went after him every time he came to bowl. Being bowled out for 126 runs while chasing 313 in a 39-over game is a huge disappointment. Australians are known for their never-say-die attitude and we expect them to bounce back strongly in this game. On the other hand, England will be confident coming to Bristol with most of their key players finding their rhythm. TEAMS PREVIEW England Preview Harry Brook instilled confidence in his team with his maiden hundred in the 3rd ODI. His partner in that match-winning 3rd wicket stand was out cheaply in the 4th match but opener Ben Duckett stepped up this time around and led a great fight. The two didn’t let any of the Aussie bowlers settle and especially, Adam Zampa. Their approach to batting set the momentum for the innings and the lower middle order players who followed built on the foundations set by these two. Australia Preview The world champions have got all it takes to beat any team in the world. They’ve got Travis Head at the top, Smith at number 3, Labuschagne in the middle, and Maxwell as the finisher in the batting order. It can’t get better than this. There is plenty of experience and talent in this side. Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood are the top bowlers in Australia in all formats. And if these two start struggling to find breakthroughs, these are alarming signs. PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS Weather Conditions The weather forecast isn’t very promising for the match day in Bristol. There will be rain and wind throughout the day. Unlike at Lord’s where 11 overs were reduced from both innings, in Bristol the weather conditions might result in an abandoned match. ENG vs AUS Pitch Report It is a great wicket for batting. The average 1st innings score in ODIs at this venue is 241 runs. However, there have been many high-scoring matches here and we expect the pitch to offer plenty of help for the batters in this match as well. With the weather around, the bowlers will also find some movement through the air and we should have an even contest between bat and ball. Toss: To Bowl The team winning the toss has opted to bowl in the last 3 matches of this series. At this venue in Bristol, 18 of the 37 ODIs went in favor of the team bowling first. The highest score chased on this ground was 359 runs by England against Pakistan in 2019.

The hosts come into this match after beating New Zealand 3-1 earlier this month. Ireland won their last ODI, by 2 wickets, against Nepal earlier in the summer at the start of July. Read on as we preview this day-night game. The ODI gets underway in Yorkshire at 12:30 local time. England began the series with New Zealand badly but were in excellent form by the end. However, this is an almost completely different side and the players involved in this match will want to show off their skills. Ireland have picked up good results in ODIs of late but they do tend to struggle up against the top teams. They will fancy their chances against this England line-up.

“I know I can hit it because…”: RCB opener Virat Kohli on playing slog-sweep against spinners in IPL

Danijones6 months ago09 mins

Bengaluru [India], : Ahead of the fixture against Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League 2024, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru opener Virat Kohli revealed the reason behind playing the slog-sweep shot against the spinners in the ongoing 17th edition of the cash-rich league. “I know I can hit it because…”: RCB opener Virat Kohli on playing slog-sweep against spinners in IPL DC will be locking horns against RCB at Bengaluru on Sunday. Both teams are in contention for a playoff spot. The Capitals are in the fifth place in the points table with six wins and six losses and 12 points.

The Delhi franchise had registered a win over Rajasthan Royals in their previous game on May 7 while the Faf Du Plessis-led side had beaten Punjab Kings on Thursday. During the game, fans would be looking forward to going big one more time not only for his team’s sake but also to complete this milestone. The former India skipper asserted that the understanding of the game from so many years allows him to practise less and stay mentally switched on. “For me, it’s still quality over quantity. More so now, at this stage of my career, heading into 36. The understanding of my game over so many years allows me to practice less, and still stay mentally switched on. And some added challenges in terms of improving your own game. Certain aspects of the game, you want to get better at. It’s an ever-evolving process. I am not a guy who wants to sit around saying ‘this is the way I play’ and not improve on the things I need to,” said Kohli in a video posted by IPL on X. Kohli further explained about his slog-sweep shot against the spinners. “I brought out the slog-sweep to the spinners. It was me mentally putting myself in that situation. I did not practice that at all. I know I can hit it because I have played that shot a lot in the past. So I just felt like I needed to take a bit more risk and for me, that shot was something that I used to hit regularly back in the days. That shot is now allowing me to hit off the backfoot as well. I am always looking to expose that side of the field against the spin. It’s been a massive factor for me in the IPL,” the right-hand batter added. “It just takes a bit more conviction and put out that thought that props up ‘what if I get out?’. I have been managing to stay ahead of that thought. And that has allowed me to keep my strike rate up in the middle overs and scoring for my team as well,” the Delhi-born player concluded. The 36-year-old cricketer is just one century away from completing a century of centuries in professional cricket. In the ongoing season, Virat holds the Orange Cap for the most runs, with 634 runs in 12 matches at an average of 70.44 and a strike rate of 153.51. He has scored a century and five fifties and his best score is 113*. Virat has an illustrious record across all the formats of the game. While he would not be the be the first one or even among the first top-ten men to have 100 professional cricket centuries, it is still a fantastic feat in Virat’s legendary career. In 145 first-class games, Virat has scored 11,097 runs at an average of 50.21 and a strike rate of 55.96, with 36 centuries and 38 fifties. His best score is 254*. This also includes his tally from 113 Tests for India, in which he has scored 8,848 runs at an average of 49.15, with 29 centuries and 30 fifties. His best score is 254*.In 326 List-A games, Virat has scored 15,290 runs at an average of 57.48 and a strike rate of 93.61, with 54 centuries and 80 fifties. His best score is 183. This also includes the run-tally from his 292 ODIs, in which he scored 13,848 runs at an average of 58.67, with 50 centuries and 72 fifties. His best score is 183. In 388 T20 games, Virat has scored 12,628 runs at an average of 42.09 and a strike rate of 134.31, with nine centuries and 96 fifties. His best score is 122*. This also includes his numbers for India. In 117 T20s, he has scored 4,037 runs at an average of 51.75, with a century and 37 fifties. His best score is 122*. Virat has been fantastic against spin in this IPL, scoring at a strike rate of 138.82 against them. He has scored 261 runs in 188 balls against spin, dismissed thrice. He has smashed 15 fours and 13 sixes against spin. His average against spin is 87.00. He has made a marked improvement in his spin game, often utilising slog sweep and sweep against the moving ball. How Virat plays against spin will be once again in the spotlight, since the T20 World Cup in West Indies and USA this year will witness the veteran play at spin-friendly, slower surfaces. Virat has played 54 dot balls against spin, taken 89 singles and 54 doubles against spin. In the past five seasons, Virat’s overall SR against spin has been: 113.46, 108.08, 100.00, 108.91 and 130.14. His strike rate against spin was at its best in the 2016 season, where he struck at 152.30 and 2015 season, where he scored his runs at 151.21 against spin bowling.
