India vs New Zealand, ICCCT, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​ ​India vs New Zealand 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : March 09, Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ODI Final, 2025 Can Rohit lead India to another ICC Trophy? Australia Masters vs South Africa Masters 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. IND vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis India have reached yet another final of an ICC event. They were strong favorites to beat Australia in the semis and are just one step away from winning the ICC Champions Trophy once again. New Zealand have been exceptional in this tournament and have won all but one match in their campaign. They are coming into this game on the back of a huge win against South Africa in Lahore. The shift in the venues is a big factor for New Zealand. It will affect their chances of winning the final. They have played only one match on this ground so far which they lost to India while chasing a 250-run target. India have played all their matches at this venue and knowing that they will play all the games here, they picked the squad accordingly. Many observers have noted that India have an unfair advantage in this tournament. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview There are no doubts about India’s chances of winning. While New Zealand may be the only team in this tournament who can give India a run for their money as they did in their last encounter at this venue, India are still a step ahead in this contest. They’ve got a strong spin-bowling attack with Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy, and Ravindra Jadeja. These 4 can overpower any batting lineup in the world at the moment. The pitch conditions are ideal for their bowling style and we reckon they will play a huge role in India’s victory. India’s key batters are also in fine touch and with Virat Kohli coming good in a knockout game of an ICC event, the men in blue will be very confident taking on New Zealand. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill may not have been in their best form lately, but their potential is well-known. The openers can put India in a strong position even if one of them plays a longer innings. New Zealand Preview New Zealand look strong with the ball and have always posed a threat to the men in blue in ICC events. They were brilliant with the ball in their last game against India at this venue with their pacers picking up early wickets of the top 3 batters. However, it wasn’t easy for the Blackcaps to chase even a par total on this ground against Indian spinners. Kane Williamson is their key middle-order batsman who’s in great touch, scoring consistently. He will be the one to watch out for against India. He can play the spinners well but needs the support from Rachin Ravindra, who’s another top-order batsman capable of playing the longer knock. If these two come good on this occasion, New Zealand can fancy their chances of beating India in yet another knock-out game of an ICC tournament. Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham, and Glenn Phillips are key players in the lower middle order. Mitchell and Latham and reliable and experienced batters who can build crucial partnerships towards the second half of the innings while Phillips is a big-hitting finisher who will be expected to accelerate the run rate at the death. Weather Conditions We expect cloudy skies in Dubai on the match day with a high of 30 degrees Celsius. There is no rain prediction but we expect the weather to assist new-ball bowlers in the second innings. IND vs NZ Pitch Report It is a balanced wicket that has a lot to offer for the bowlers. Spinners play a key role here and it gets difficult to score quickly against them. The average 1st innings score in the last 4 ODIs of the Champions Trophy 2025 here is 245 runs. However, for a match-winning total, the team batting first should aim for at least 275 runs or more. Toss: To Bat Batting first would be ideal for New Zealand in this game. Though teams batting second have won 3 of the 4 matches here, given the Indian bowling strength, it won’t be ideal for New Zealand to chase a target on this ground in Dubai. India’s batting depth and bowling strength allow them to bat first or second and still be in a comfortable position.

"Praise Gautam Gambhir For KKR Win, Blame Shreyas Iyer": West Indies Legend Slams Double Standards

“Praise Gautam Gambhir For KKR Win, Blame Shreyas Iyer”: West Indies Legend Slams Double Standards

Danijones04 mins

Former West Indies cricketer Ian Bishop slammed trolls for targetting Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) captain Shreyas Iyer. Despite KKR sitting top of the table, Iyer has been on the receiving end of some harsh criticism on social media from fans, who have instead credited mentor and former captain Gautam Gambhir for the franchise’s stunning form this season. Taking to X, Bishop shut down multiple trolls and questioned fans for showing double standards by attributing KKR’s wins to Gambhir and defeats to Iyer. While Gambhir has certainly brought the winning mentality back at KKR, Bishop highlighted Iyer’s respectable record as captain during the previous seasons. “Shreyas became DC captain in 2018 when GG stepped down after DC lost 5 of first 6 gms. DC then finished the season winning 4 of next 8 games. 2019 DC 3rd, 2020 DC 2nd. 2021 injury & only 8gms so Pant captained. To KKR 2022, new franchise, 7th. Missed 2023. 2024,” Bishop responded to fan on his post. Questioned the double standards, Bishop argued saying: “So GG gets the praise when they win. Shreyas gets the blame if they lose? Or will you say its GG’s fault to if they lose?” So GG gets the praise when they win. Shreyas gets the blame if they lose? Or will you say its GG’s fault to if they lose? — Ian Raphael Bishop (@irbishi) May 6, 2024 Since returning to the franchise as a mentor, Gambhir has been pretty active in the dugout, passing on tactical aide to Iyer during timeouts and breaks. Speaking at the press conference on Sunday, KKR pacer Harshit Rana also credit Gambhir for his tactical brilliance. On Sunday, red-hot Sunil Narine smashed 81 off 39 balls to help KKR thrash Lucknow Super Giants by 98 runs and take top spot in IPL table. Narine’s blitz, laced with six fours and seven sixes, guided Kolkata to 235-6 after they were invited to bat first in Lucknow’s final home game. Two-time champions Kolkata bowled out Lucknow for 137 in 16.1 overs for their eighth win in 11 matches and almost guaranteed a play-off berth. Second-placed Rajasthan Royals have played one match fewer. The top four teams will make the play-offs with the final on May 26 in Chennai. Topics mentioned in this article

Yusuf Pathan: Powerhouse all-rounder braces for long innings in politics | Cricket News

Danijones04 mins

NEW DELHI: Yusuf Pathan, who made his international debut during India’s triumphant 2007 T20 World Cup final against Pakistan is known for his exceptional performances in big matches, Now, as a Trinamool Congress candidate, he is leading seasoned Congressman Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury by a significant margin in the Baharampur Lok Sabha seat in West Bengal’s Murshidabad district. Yusuf’s entry into politics has been a surprise, but he remains committed to maintaining his image as a sportsperson while serving his constituency.In a region with a substantial Muslim population, Mamata Banerjee‘s decision to field Yusuf against Chowdhury has proven to be a masterstroke. Despite facing challenges from BJP’s Nirmal Chandra Saha and being labeled an outsider, Yusuf has embraced the fight, often repeating TMC’s slogan, “Khela Hobe” (I’m up for a fight).Yusuf’s cricketing journey is a story of perseverance and dedication. Growing up in Vadodara, he and his brother Irfan were exposed to life’s challenges from an early age. Their father, Mehmood Khan Pathan, worked tirelessly as a muezzin, instilling discipline and faith in his children. Under the guidance of local coach Mehendi Sheikh, Yusuf honed his skills, especially his powerful hitting ability.“Uparwale ka rahem, karam bolein (Call this God’s mercy, blessings), I always feel that I am for big matches, moments,” Yusuf had said after accepting TMC’s offer to switch to politics.“I just have to bat for them. I don’t want to become a politician. I want to keep my image of a sportsperson intact. But after winning, I will work for my constituency and will make sure that I spend at least eight days in a month there,” he had promised.Yusuf’s international debut came three years after Irfan’s, but he quickly established himself as a vital player for India in shorter formats. He was a member of the MS Dhoni-led team that won the 2011 ODI World Cup. However, his most memorable moments came in the IPL, where he captivated fans with a scintillating 37-ball century against Mumbai Indians in 2010 and played a key role in Rajasthan Royals’ title-winning campaign in 2008.Featuring in all matches in 2008, he scored 435 runs at a strike rate of 179.01 and took eight wickets.Pathan joined KKR in 2011 and became a permanent member of the team for seven years.Although Yusuf regrets not featuring in any Tests for India, he now has the opportunity to play a long game in the field of politics. With his determination and commitment to serving his constituency, Yusuf Pathan is poised to make a significant impact in his new role as a politician.(With inputs from PTI)

Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Renegades, BBLT20, Today Match Prediction

Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Renegades, BBLT20, Today Match Prediction

Vann Hiso07 mins

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Renegades 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 :  January 07 ,Tuesday​​ 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 :​ 13:45 PM IST​​​​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Perth Stadium, Burswood, Australia 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ​​Big Bash League, 2024-25 Can the Renegades end their losing run? Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Renegades 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. PRS vs MLR Match Prediction & Analysis Perth Scorchers will take on MLR at their home venue. The last time Melbourne Renegades won a match was against Perth Scorchers in Melbourne while chasing a 144-run target. Their batting wasn’t in good touch in that game either and the top-order woes continue to trouble MLR. The hosts suffered a defeat in their last outing at this venue in Perth while defending 177 runs against Sydney Thunder. They had won two out of two matches at home before the loss. Finn Allen and Cooper Connolly are the in-form batters for PRS in the top 4. Allen scored two consecutive fifties while Connolly delivered consistently in the middle order. TEAMS PREVIEW Perth Scorchers Preview Ashton Turner will expect his bowlers to step up and deliver a better performance this time around. It was a good total they were defending in the last outing but despite a great variety in the bowling attack, PRS failed to put any pressure on the opposition with the ball. Lance Morris stood out with his spell of 3 for 22 from 4 Overs. Scorchers will need others like Jason Behrendorff, Andrew Tye, and Matthew Kelly to also deliver breakthroughs if Scorchers are to get back to winning ways. The bowlers were all on the money in their previous home game against Brisbane Heat where they bowled out the opposition for 132 runs while defending 165. Behrendorff and Jhye Richardson shined with the ball in Adelaide in the next game. Melbourne Renegades Preview Melbourne Renegades are desperate for a win. They have lost 3 matches on the trot. Their last win came at the Docklands Stadium in Melbourne as they chased down 144 runs with 2 wickets in hand against the Scorchers. MLR have won just 2 of their 6 matches in the BBL this year. After their win over PRS, the Renegades finished 148 for 8 while chasing a 157-run target against SYT. The next game saw MLR post 149 runs while batting first at the home venue. With some good knocks from Bethell and Wells in the middle order, the Renegades finally managed to cross the 160-run mark in the last outing but it wasn’t enough. Overall, it is a very grim picture for MLR as far as the batting is concerned. Tim Seifert, an experienced player at number 3 has failed to deliver while opener Jake Fraser-McGurk is also struggling to get going. Weather Conditions It will be a clear and sunny day with a high of 30 degrees Celsius in Perth. We can expect a complete and uninterrupted game of cricket. The weather is likely to help the batters as the pitch gets hard under the sun allowing for an even bounce and carry. PRS vs MLR Pitch Report The pitch is known for helping the pacers and has been a paradise for fast bowlers in the longer format of the game. However, in T20 cricket, batters have managed to get the upper hand quite often. The average 1st innings total in the last 10 matches here is 177 runs. The highest score successfully chased here in recent times is 201 runs. We reckon the team batting first needs to put 180+ on the board to be in a competitive position in this match. Toss: To Bowl Though teams bowling first have won 2 of the 3 matches played here this season, it is the batting team that has enjoyed the upper hand overall winning 6 of the last 10 T20 matches here. Renegades aren’t in any shape to chase down a competitive total and are better off batting first. Scorchers too will back their bowlers to defend a total against a struggling MLR.

He can be backed as top SA batter. Tabraiz Shamsi could be back in the South Africa team to bolster the attack. The spinners have done well on this pitch and Shamsi, given the quality he has, is likely to pick more than l.5 wickets in the game.For West Indies, Brandon King has been outstanding. He has scored over 100 runs across two matches and has been the best batter for his side. Back him as West Indies top batter. Gudakesh Motie has enjoyed the conditions, taking six wickets in two games. Back him as top Windies bowler.Both the games so far have seen at least one fifty being scored in the match and thus we there are great odds that a fifty will also be scored in the final game.

West Indies vs South Africa 3rd T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips West Indies will take on South Africa in the final T20I. The game will be played at the Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica and will start at 12:30 AM IST on May 27. WI have been comprehensive in the two T20Is of the series. They picked up a crushing 28 run win over SA in the first game and then backed it up with another 16 run win in the second game. The batters have fired for West Indies, allowing them to score 175 and 207 in the two innings. With the ball, the spinners have choked SA for runs. For SA, they were better in the second game and scored 191 in a chase of 208, however, the middle order seems to be out of touch as the players have failed to fire in both games. However, the team won’t be concerned as they are playing a second string team and main players are not available for the series. West Indies vs South Africa Match Toss PredictionTeam batting first has won both games and thus the captains would like to win the toss and opt to bat first in final game. Once a strong total has been posted, it will be tough to chase here. West Indies vs South Africa Pitch ReportThe surface at the Sabina Park has been on the slower side. The ball has gripped and turned and scoring against the spinners have been very tough. The pacers though have been taken for plenty of runs. With short boundaries, a score of around 180-200 is par here. Jamaica Weather ReportThere are a few showers expected during the game. The temperature will be around the 30 degree mark and humidity will be 68 per cent. The wind speed will be 21 km/h.

Vann Hiso07 mins

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sydney Sixers vs Sydney Thunder𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 :  January 17 ,Friday​​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 :​ 13:45 PM IST​​​​​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Sydney Cricket Ground, Moore Park, Australia​𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ​​Big Bash League, 2024-25​ The team that wins this game is locked into a top-two position, meaning they get a safety net in the playoffs. Sydney Sixers vs Sydney Thunder 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. SYS vs SYT Match Prediction & Analysis Get ready for a big one on Friday as the Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder go head-to-head at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Match 37 of the 2024-25 BBL season.  While both Sydney teams have already punched their ticket to the BBL|14 finals, this match carries extra weight – the winners will secure a top-two finish and earn themselves a safety net in the playoffs. With so much on the line, you can bet both the Sixers and the Thunder will be bringing their A-game. TEAMS PREVIEW Sydney Sixers Preview Sydney Sixers have surged back to the top of the standings following two consecutive victories, capped by a thrilling chase of 183 against the Adelaide Strikers, with just one ball to spare. Steven Smith’s comeback has given the Sixers a real lift.  He blasted an unbeaten 121 off just 64 balls against the Scorchers in his first appearance this season and backed that up with a strong half-century facing the Strikers. This will be Smith’s final game for the Sixers before he departs for the Sri Lanka tour. Beyond Smith, expect runs from Josh Philippe and Moises Henriques, who’ve both been reliable run-getters this season. Sydney Thunder Preview The Thunder clinched their spot in the BBL|14 finals with a commanding victory over the Scorchers at home on Monday night. It’s a major shift from last season, when they ended up dead last with just a single victory. Sam Konstas continued his good form, grinding out a fifty on a tough pitch that was favoring spin. The Thunder’s spinners then made quick work of Perth, limiting them to just 97 runs. The win pumped up their net run rate, setting the stage for a massive Sydney Smash at the SCG on Friday.  The Thunder have stayed near the top of the standings all season, even with a string of injuries plaguing the squad. As many as six players from their initial roster of 18 have missed time. David Warner’s steady hand and run-scoring (324 in 8 innings) have been a huge part of that success. Another player to watch is Sam Billings, who is in great form, accumulating 185 runs in 8 innings at a strike rate of 136. Weather Conditions The Sydney Cricket Ground typically presents a batting-friendly pitch, but it also offers spinners a chance to make an impact as the match unfolds. The ball tends to come onto the bat well, encouraging aggressive play, particularly in the evening. Fast bowlers who bowl with pace can generate additional bounce, but they must be clever with their variations to succeed.  The weather in Sydney has been a problem this week. It has rained a fair amount and Saturday’s weather outlook is equally grim. There is a good chance of cloud cover, breezes, and potential thunderstorms that could easily disrupt the action. SYS vs SYT Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Sydney Cricket Ground in domestic T20s is 158. The highest total posted at the venue in the Big Bash League is Sydney Sixers’ colossal 213-4 versus Perth Scorchers earlier this season, a game they won by 14 runs. Toss: To Bowl There is a forecast of showers in Sydney on Friday, which will likely push both captains to field first in this game.
