Danijones04 mins

DHARAMSALA, India — Ravindra Jadeja put in an allround performance to help Chennai Super Kings beat Punjab Kings by 28 runs in the Indian Premier League on Sunday. Chennai Super Kings end 5-match losing streak against Punjab Kings with 28-run win in IPL Jadeja scored 43 runs off 26 balls to anchor Chennai’s innings to 167-9 and then took 3-20 in four overs to help restrict Punjab’s chase to 139-9.

It was only Chennai’s second win in the last five games, and also ended its five-match losing streak against Punjab. Put into bat, Chennai lost Ajinkya Rahane early. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Daryl Mitchell put on 57 off 32 balls for the second wicket. Wrist spinner Rahul Chahar then took 3-23 in four overs to restrict the visiting side. He dismissed Gaikwad and then big-hitting Shivam Dube for a golden duck. Sam Curran dismissed Moeen Ali for 17 as Chennai was reduced to 101-5 in 12.4 overs. Jadeja guided Chennai to a challenging total on a two-paced wicket. He hit three fours and two sixes, while Harshal Patel’s death spell didn’t allow excess run-scoring. MS Dhoni batted at No. 9 — for the first time – and Patel bowled him for a golden duck. In reply, Punjab’s top order crumbled. Tushar Deshpande dismissed Jonny Bairstow and Rilee Rossouw for a three-ball duck in the space of four balls. Impact player Prabhsimran Singh scored 30 off 23 balls, and along with Shashank Singh’s 20-ball 27 helped rebuild the innings from 9-2. Jadeja didn’t allow the middle order to get away, sending back Singh as well as Curran . Pacer Simarjeet Singh came on as impact sub and took 2-16 in three overs as Punjab’s chase never looked a threat. Shardul Thakur and Mitchell Santner took a wicket each. Despite missing key bowlers, Chennai put in an all-round bowling performance to restrict the hosts. Chennai moved up to third with 12 points, ahead of Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad on net run-rate. Punjab’s hopes of qualification took a blow. It’s eighth in the 10-team league with eight points. Lucknow hosts Kolkata Knight Riders in the second game on Sunday. cricket: /hub/cricket This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

After embarrassing 10-wicket defeat against Bangladesh, the home side will need to raise their overall game with bat and ball in this second Test. Captain Shan Masood will be hoping that the side can show significant improvement in a bid to level the two-match Test series. On the other hand, Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto will be pleased with his side’s excellent performance against Pakistan. The visitors will be looking to maintain their standards with bat and ball in a bid to win their first Test series in Pakistan. TEAMS PREVIEW Pakistan Preview The Men in Green might make two changes as Mir Hamza and Abrar Ahmed might come into the playing XI in place of Agha Salman and Khurram Shahzad. The only positive from the opening Test was centuries produced by vice-captain Saud Shakeel and wicket-keeper Mohammad Rizwan. Bangladesh Preview The visitors will not make any changes to their playing XI for the second and final match of the Test series.

MI Emirates vs Desert Vipers , ILT20, Today Match Prediction

Vann Hiso06 mins

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : MI Emirates vs Desert Vipers 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 27, Monday​​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 :​ 20:00 PM IST​​​​​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : International League T20, 2025 The last time these two sides met this season, Desert Vipers secured a comfortable 5-wicket win over MI Emirates. West Indies Women vs Bangladesh Women 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. MIE vs DV Match Prediction & Analysis Desert Vipers and MI Emirates are set to face off in Match 22 of the ILT20 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium this Monday. The Vipers have been in excellent form, securing their spot in the playoffs and leading the standings with 12 points from seven games. Meanwhile, the Emirates have had a strong season but are coming into this game after two consecutive defeats. Despite those setbacks, they hold second place. With momentum on their side, the Vipers will approach this matchup with confidence. TEAMS PREVIEW MI Emirates Preview MI Emirates faced their second consecutive loss, narrowly falling to Gulf Giants by two wickets in their latest fixture. With 6 points from seven matches, they hold onto second place, thanks to their superior net run rate over Abu Dhabi Knight Riders and Dubai Capitals, who also have six points each. Any more losses, however, could see the Emirates slipping down the standings. Desert Vipers Preview After suffering their first loss of the season to Dubai Capitals on Monday, Desert Vipers have bounced back with two consecutive wins. In their latest outing, they comfortably chased down a target of 152 against Sharjah Warriorz, sealing the victory with nearly five overs to spare and eight wickets in hand. Alex Hales played a match-winning knock, hammering 77 not out off 42 balls, while captain Sam Curran chipped in with an unbeaten 54 off 34 deliveries. Hales now leads the Vipers’ batting charts with 256 runs in seven innings at a strike rate of 128.64. The batting lineup has been firing on all cylinders, with Fakhar Zaman and Daniel Lawrence delivering consistently at the top, while Sherfane Rutherford strengthens the middle order.  Weather Conditions The Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi offers a surface that typically favors batters in T20 games, especially under lights. The pitch tends to be on the slower side, but shorter boundaries on certain sides provide opportunities for big hits. Spinners often find some grip, particularly as the game progresses, while pacers benefit from variations. Dew can play a role in the second innings, aiding chasing teams. The weather in Abu Dhabi will be clear and pleasant with no forecast of any rain to disrupt the match. MIE vs DV Pitch Report The average first innings score at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium is 162. This season, the highest total posted at the venue is MI Emirates’ 187-7 versus Dubai Capitals, a game they won by 26 runs. Toss: To Bat Batting first has worked better at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in this ILT20 season, with four of the six games being won by the side batting first.

Riley Meredith bowls with real pace and has taken 112 wickets across his T20 career.

HEA vs HUR T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BBL 2024 Match 29 of the 2023/24 Big Bash League sees Brisbane Heat go head to head with Hobart Hurricanes on Sunday evening at the Gabba. Brisbane Heat are unbeaten in the tournament and currently sit top of the table. The Hurricanes have played six, won three and lost three so far. Read on as we preview this game. The match gets underway at 19:15 local time. Although it was a narrow DLS victory for Brisbane Heat over Sydney Sixers in Match 24, the result keeps up their very strong form in this campaign. Hobart Hurricanes are also in good form but Heat will be confident of recording another win. Hobart Hurricanes have turned their season around over recent fixtures and we expect them to strengthen their line-up with the return of Matthew Wade for this match. However, Brisbane Heat at the Gabba could well be their toughest match so far this season. HEA vs HUR Match Toss PredictionBrisbane Heat have batted first and won both of the completed games at the Gabba so far in this campaign. We predict that both captains will choose to bat first if they win the toss. HEA vs HUR Pitch ReportThis is a good batting wicket at the Gabba where there is the traditional good pace and carry on the surface. A par score will be in the region of 185.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :Sri Lanka Women vs West Indies Women 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 15, Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:00 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ Icc Womens T20 World Cup 2024 England Women will look to make it four wins from four when they take on West Indies Women on Tuesday. England Women vs West Indies Women 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. ENGW vs WIW Match Prediction & Analysis So far in this tournament, England Women are up there with Australia Women in terms of playing the most consistent cricket and picking up wins in all of their games. This will not be an easy game for Heather Knight’s side but after seeing off the challenge of South Africa Women earlier in the competition they are already well-tuned to taking on strong sides. For West Indies Women, they have shown signs of having a talented squad who could go to the last four of this tournament and a victory in this game will really make the pundits take a step back and look at them more closely. TEAMS PREVIEW England Preview England Women made easy work of their local rivals Scotland Women on Sunday evening in Sharjah as they brushed them aside to win by 10 wickets with 60 balls remaining and to regain control of Group B. West Indies Preview For a team who have been so over-reliant on the likes of captain Hayley Matthews, Stafanie Taylor and Deandra Dottin over the last decade, it will have been heartening for the team management and fans of West Indies Women to see Karishma Ramharack take the Player of the Match Award in their strong victory over Bangladesh Women.  This was only a game after opening bowler Chinelle Henry took the Player of the Match Award in the win over Scotland Women but with another positive result required against England Women, we expect the big guns to put in big performances! Weather Conditions According to the forecast it will be another warm evening in Dubai with humidity levels no higher than 55%. There will be clear skies throughout with the temperature comfortably in the mid-low thirties from start to finish. ENGW vs WIW Pitch Report There is plenty of pace in this wicket in Dubai and it will be interesting to see how England Women cope with the change in surface after playing all three of their previous games in Sharjah. Our prediction is for a high scoring clash in Dubai although no doubt the top quality spinners on both sides will have a key role to play. Toss: To Bowl With four of the six games played at this venue in this tournament won by the team fielding first, it would be quite the risk taken by either skipper if they won the toss and chose to bat first! As a result, we predict that both captains will elect to field first if they call correctly at the toss.

Truth Behind MS Dhoni's No. 9 Decision Out, Harbhajan Singh, Irfan Pathan Made To Eat Words

“He Likes To Build Drama A Bit’: CSK Batting Coach Michael Hussey On MS Dhoni’s Retirement Plans

Danijones03 mins

File photo of MS Dhoni.© BCCI As IPL 2024 is nearing its conclusion, the talk about MS Dhoni’s retirement plans is also picking pace once again. Speculations were rife last year that Dhoni would call time on his IPL career but the then Chennai Super Kings captain, instead, expressed desire to continue playing for the side. While reacting to a question regarding the retirement plans of Dhoni, former CSK batter and its current batting coach Michael Hussey said that he himself has no idea about it. Hussey gave the statement while speaking to Around The Wicket podcast. He added that Dhoni likes to “build the drama a little bit as well”. When asked if Dhoni would be back next year, Hussey said, “Your guess is as good as mine at this stage. “He keeps his cards very, very close to his chest. We are hoping he does keep going. “He is still batting so well. He does prepare well – he gets into the camp very early and hits a lot of balls. He has been in good touch all season really.” Dhoni has been coming lower down the order to bat this season as he is suffering from a knee issue. “I guess we just got to try to manage him from the body side of things. He had a knee surgery after the last season. So he has been managing that from the initial stage of the tournament,” said Hussey. “From a personal point of view, I hope he keeps going for another couple of years. But we will just have to wait and see. He is the only one who will make that call. And he likes to sort of build the drama a little bit as well. So I wouldn’t expect a decision anytime soon,” he added. CSK are still alive in the race to IPL 2024 playoffs. Their last league match is against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on May 18.
