Expressing his excitement for his second stint as Pakistan captain, Babar credited the team’s success to collective effort and emphasized the backing received from the cricket board.(With inputs from PTI)

IPL-17: DC vs RR | Delhi Capitals host formidable Rajasthan Royals in a crucial encounter

Moorthy Delhi Capitals’ (DC) stop-start IPL 2024 campaign enters its final lap as it takes on formidable Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on May 7. DC began the season on the wrong foot, losing four of its first five games. But the Rishabh Pant-led side soon clicked into gear, winning four of its next five matches to put itself in contention for a playoff spot. But a heavy defeat against Kolkata Knights Riders in its last match means DC’s top-four chances hinge on other results going its way. For the Royals, the plot has been far more buoyant. Sanju Samson’s men have been on a roll, winning eight of their ten matches. Batting fire-power Royals’ success this season has been built around their well-rounded batting unit. They currently boast four players — Riyan Parag, Samson, Yashavi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler — with a 300+ run tally this season, more than any other team this season. Royals’ batting brawn will fit well with the conditions here, which has seen runs flow faster than any other venue in this IPL (11.85 runs per over). DC too has some firepower in its rank, with the prominent ammunition being its young Aussie opener Jake Fraser-McGurk, who has scored 259 runs at a scarcely believable strike rate of 233.33 in his debut IPL season. When these two sides met earlier in the season, in Jaipur, Rajasthan Royals squeezed out a 12-run win. A similar result on Tuesday could all but ring the death knell for DC’s IPL campaign. Teams: Delhi Capitals: Rishabh Pant (c), David Warner, Abishek Porel, Ricky Bhui, Yash Dhull, Shai Hope, Prithvi Shaw, Tristan Stubbs, Kumar Kushagra, Swastik Chikara, Ishant Sharma, Jhye Richardson, Rasikh Dar Salam, Vicky Ostwal, Anrich Nortje, Mukesh Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Praveen Dubey, Khaleel Ahmed, Sumit Kumar, Axar Patel, Mitchell Marsh, Lalit Yadav, Jake Fraser-McGurk. Rajasthan Royals: Sanju Samson (c), Jos Buttler, Shimron Hetmyer, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag, Donovan Ferreira, Kunal Rathore, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Sen, Navdeep Saini, Keshav Maharaj, Sandeep Sharma, Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal, Avesh Khan, Rovman Powell, Shubham Dubey, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Abid Mushtaq, Nandre Burger. Match starts at 7.30 PM.

MATCH: IND vs AUSDATE: Sep 24, 2023TIME: 13:30 IST / 8:00 GMTVENUE: Holkar Cricket Stadium – Indore, India TOURNAMENT:IND vs AUS IND vs AUS Betting Tips Shubman Gill continued his brilliant ODI form in 2023 with 74 runs from 63 balls on Friday. The opener is well worth backing as India’s highest run scorer in this match. With the ball, Mohammed Shami took 5-51 in the opening match of the series and he is our tip for India’s top wicket taker in this game.David Warner top scored for Australia with 52 runs from 53 balls in Mohali and the experienced left-hander is our pick for their highest run scorer on Sunday. Captain Pat Cummins was the most economical of Australia’s bowlers in the first ODI and we expect him to be Australia’s top wicket taker in this ODI.After hitting six fours and two sixes in the first game of the series, we recommend selecting Shubman Gill to hit over 29.5 runs in this ODI. IND vs AUS TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Euro Sports Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the K9WIn Cricket Exchange India and website. IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips After India won the first game of the series, a hot and humid day-night contest in Mohali on Friday, by 5 wickets with 8 balls remaining, the second ODI against Australia gets underway in Indore on Sunday. The game forms part of both teams’ preparations for the 2023 Cricket World Cup. Read on as we preview this clash. This match gets underway at the Holkar Cricket Stadium at 13:30 local time. India produced a solid display and did not look like losing at any point during the opening ODI. They will be confident of securing the series with another win in this match. Australia saw six of their top seven make scores between 29 and 52 on Friday and if one of those can go on to make a big score in this ODI then they could well square the series. IND vs AUS Match Toss PredictionIn Indore, four of the last five ODIs have been won by the team batting first. We expect both Pat Cummins and KL Rahul to choose to bat first if they win the toss on Sunday. IND vs AUS Pitch ReportODI totals at this ground have ranged between 225 and 418-5 over the years but recent years have seen higher scoring games. We expect a par score of around 340. Indore Weather ReportThe forecast is for cloudy and humid conditions across Sunday in Indore. There could be a couple of rain interruptions but nothing for too great a length of time.

He can be backed as top batter for the Kings.Auckland Aces will rest hopes on captain Sean Solia. He did have a poor season last year but is a very good batter. Back him as Auckland top batter.The conditions will be challenging for bowlers so we are backing total runs in the match to be less than325.

AA vs CTB T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Super Smash 2023 Auckland Aces will be up against the Canterbury Kings in the Super Smash 2023 season opener. The match will be played at Eden Park in Auckland and will start at 5:00 AM IST on December 19. Auckland Aces would look to put up a better show in Super Smash 2023 after a poor show in last season where they finished last, with just three wins in 10 games. Sean Solia will lead the side. They will miss a few key players like Finn Allen who is with the New Zealand team for the series against New Zealand. Canterbury, on the other hand, performed brilliantly in the last season and reached the final. However, the team lost to Northern Knights in the summit clash. The team will also be without some of the regular players like Henry Nicholls, Daryl Mitchell among others due to the series against Bangladesh and it will be an opportunity for the youngsters to prove their mettle at the big stage. AA vs CTB Match Toss PredictionIt will be the first game on this ground and there will be some juice on the surface for the bowlers early on. Both captains will look to bowl first. AA vs CTB Pitch ReportEden Park Outer Oval offers help to the pacers early on. However, it becomes flat pretty soon for batters to score big runs. The shorter boundaries allow high scoring games. Auckland Weather ReportThere are chances of rain at Auckland. The overcast conditions will allow the bowlers to get some extra movement. A curtailed game cannot be counted out.

“How many IPL hund’How many IPL hundreds you scored’: AB de Villiers slams data-driven pundits for criticising Virat Kohli’s IPL strike ratereds you scored’: AB de Villiers slams data-driven pundits for criticising Virat Kohli’s IPL strike rate | Cricket News
NEW DELHI: Former South Africa AB de Villiers has strongly criticized cricket analysts who rely heavily on data for their assessment of players. He particularly targeted their criticism of Virat Kohli‘s strike rate outside the powerplay during the ongoing Indian Premier League.Kohli has been in exceptional form this season for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, amassing 500 runs at a strike rate of 147 and an impressive average of 77, placing him second on the list of top scorers.Despite Kohli’s stellar performance, he has faced consistent scrutiny for his strike rate against spinners, particularly in the middle overs. However, de Villiers, who previously played alongside Kohli for RCB, disagrees with this assessment.De Villiers hailed Kohli as one of the game’s finest players, emphasizing that it’s unwise for data-driven pundits to critique such a stalwart.“Virat Kohli catching criticism about his strike rate it’s been going on for too long and I am sort of fed up with that now. I am frustrated to say the least. This guy is one of the best players to have ever played the game of cricket. He is incredible in the IPL, he plays a certain role for RCB,” the South African said on his YouTube channel.“I have pretty much enough of data-driven pundits who keep criticising this man (Kohli) when you don’t have the knowledge of the game. How many games you played? How many IPL hundreds you scored?“All the people who talk about strike rates and not playing spin well are the ones talking about this stuff. For me, it’s about winning the games for the team and there is a reason why you have done it for 15 years, you have done this day in and day out, you have won games for your teams.”De Villiers feel Kohli has nothing to prove to anyone, and should just concentrate on his game.“I am quite sure that if you haven’t been been in that situation yourself, to sit and talk about the game, it’s not quite the same thing. For me, people can talk about their assumptions day in and day out but those who have done day in and day out, they know what’s happening and it’s a kind of muscle memory for me now.“His strike rate, by the way, this season is even better than the record-breaking season he had not so long ago (2016 season). So, I don’t know where the criticism is coming from. He is batting like a dream at the moment,” he said.De Villiers’ support came after Kohli had lashed out at his critics following his 44-ball unbeaten 70 in RCB’s nine-wicket win over Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad in their previous game.The former South African batter, however, feels Kohli is best suited at the No.3 position for RCB.“Virat has successfully batted with a proven formula that has brought victories for the team. The rest of the squad — including the coach and captain — need to strategise around Virat’s successful approach. Personally, I still believe Virat is best suited for number three in the batting order.“Though he loves opening and has an incredible record doing so, batting him at three would optimise this team’s lineup with Will Jacks and Faf (du Plessis) opening. Putting Virat at three would give the openers the best opportunity to get off to a fast start,” he added.(With PTI inputs)
