West Indies vs Bangladesh 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. WI vs BAN Match Prediction & Analysis Having just swept Bangladesh 3-0 in the ODI series, the West Indies now set their sights on repeating that performance in the T20 format. The action starts with the first match this Sunday at the Arnos Vale Ground in St Vincent. The Windies have consistently outplayed Bangladesh in T20s recently, making them the clear favorite to maintain their winning streak. TEAMS PREVIEW West Indies Preview West Indies are heading into this T20 series against Bangladesh with a lot of momentum after their strong ODI performance. T20 is their go-to format, making them even tougher opponents.  The return of Johnson Charles is a big boost. He’s a seasoned T20 batsman with over 7,000 runs and a blistering strike rate of 133. Captain Rovman Powell will be key in the middle order, and Evin Lewis, Brandon King, and Nicholas Pooran are expected to anchor the innings and take it deep. Bangladesh Preview After a disappointing 0-3 sweep in the ODI series, Bangladesh will be eager to turn things around. However, reversing their fortunes won’t be easy, given their ongoing six-match losing streak in the format. Much depends on Litton Das, whose leadership and recent tally of 199 runs at an average of 22.11 from the last 10 games will be key. The batting unit, aside from Litton, lacks experience. Tanzid Hasan and Jaker Ali are names to watch, as both have the potential to step up.  Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who has performed well in Tests and ODIs this year, could also make a difference. While his T20I contributions with the bat haven’t stood out, he has the ability to deliver quick runs down the order. His spin bowling could be decisive on a pitch that favors turn. Weather Conditions The Arnos Vale Ground in St. Vincent typically offers a good batting surface for T20 cricket. The pitch is generally flat and true, allowing batsmen to score freely. There’s usually some pace and bounce on offer for the bowlers, but it’s not overly challenging. As the game progresses, the pitch may slow down slightly, allowing spinners to come into play. Some showers are forecast in the afternoon, which might delay the game or lead to a shortened fixture. WI vs BAN Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Arnos Vale Ground is just 133. The highest total posted at the venue is Bangladesh’s 159-5 versus the Netherlands in this year’s T20 World Cup. If Bangladesh bat first in this match, they will target a score of around 160-170. The West Indies, however, with their battery of power hitters, will look for a score of around 180-200 if they get to bat first. Toss: To Bat Six of the seven T20Is played at the Arnos Vale Ground have been won by the team batting first. So it goes without saying that both teams will look to bat first here.

TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview Indian team has made a few changes in their squad and will look to win the upcoming matches. Openers Smriti Mandana will have a new batting partner at the top. Experienced players Harmanpret Kaur, Richa Ghosh, Jemimah Rodrigues and Deepti Sharma are expected to slot in the middle order.  Their bowlers will be led by pacers Renuka Singh Thakur and Titas Sadhu.

PRS vs MLS Match Prediction & Analysis The Perth Scorchers were knocked out of the playoffs last season. They will be looking to put that behind them and get off to a winning start at the home venue. Melbourne Stars had a poor season last year and they have struggled against the Scorchers quite often in recent years. It will be a tough outing for the visitors who are without some of their star players in the batting lineup. TEAMS PREVIEW Perth Scorchers Preview First things first, a few players are missing from this squad for the opening game. Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis are part of the Australia squad for the Test series against India. We expect Matthew Hurst to come in for Inglis as the wicket-keeper batsman in the middle order whereas batting all-rounder Aaron Hardie can replace Mitchell Marsh. However, if Inglis isn’t part of the Gabba Test, he can be available for the BBL opener. Melbourne Stars Preview Marcus Stoinis has been named the permanent captain of the Melbourne Stars. It needs to be seen what impact the change in leadership will have on the Stars. They will be missing their former skipper Glenn Maxwell in this game along with the English batter Ben Duckett. They also have Scott Boland in the squad who’s currently part of the Australia squad for the BGT series. In the opener, it will be up to the likes of Mark Steketee, Joel Paris, and Tom Curran to lead with the ball. Usama Mir is another big miss since the leg-spinner is on national duty. There are many all-rounders in the squad and that should play in their favor. However, the unavailability of most of the key players will likely hurt Melbourne Stars in this game. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy in Perth with a high of 20 degrees Celsius. There is no rain prediction for the match day and we can expect an uninterrupted and exciting BBL opener at the Perth Stadium. PRS vs MLS Pitch Report It is a balanced wicket that has something for everyone. It is known for its pace and bounce and the bowlers will have a great time with the new ball. However, the pace and carry also allow the batters to time the ball well and score plenty of runs on this pitch. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 T20s is 181 runs on this ground. We reckon something around 190-200 should be a highly competitive score in this match. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first and second have won 5 games each in the last 10 outings here in T20s. There is plenty of help on offer for the pacers on this ground and we reckon defending a total will be a good strategy in this match.

RSAW vs ENGW Match Prediction & Analysis South Africa Women will take on England Women in the Only Test of England Women’s tour of South Africa at Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein, on 15 December. The last time these two teams faced each other was back in 2022. That Test resulted in a draw. South Africa and England Women’s team are set for a rare encounter in Test Cricket. While South African Women are playing at home, England Women are yet to lose to South African Women home or away. Can England Women continue the unbeaten record against South African Women away from home? TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview When it comes to Women’s cricket, Test cricket is a very rare occurrence. Rarer so for South Africa Women as they have played just 5 Tests since 2007 when they defeated Netherlands Women. In the four Tests after that win, South Africa Women have lost three and drew one Test, that too against England Women. South Africa Women’s previous match against England Women ended in a draw. It was played back in 2022 when South of England Women won the toss and asked South Africa to bat first. Marizanne Kapp scored a memorable 150-run innings, helping South Africa Women reach 284 in the first innings. The rest of the batters could not score much. As many as five South African batters were dismissed on single digit. After England Women amassed 417 for 8 declared in 120 overs, South Africa Women managed 181 for 5 in their second innings, thus drawing the Test. England Preview England Women are a tough team to beat. They have drawn 5 and won 1 game in their last 10 matches. However, their last win came more than 10 years ago against Australia at Wackau. They defeated the Australian Women team by 61 runs. Having said that, they have a dominating record against South Africa winning 1 of the 3 Tests in 21st century while drawing the other two.  Although the previous Test against South Africa Women ended in a draw, England Women were always in the dominating position. Responding to 284 made by South Africa Women in the first innings, England Women scored 417 for 8 declared. They had about 70 hours to get South Africa all out and win the game by an innings but they could not do that. Kate Cross took four wickets for them in the first innings while in the second innings Anneke Bosch took 3 wickets.  Weather Conditions It is expected to be very hot. The temperature would range between 34Β°C to 17Β°C. While the day will start as sunny, there is some chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. We might lose some game time to thunderstorms, but it should not be a washout. RSAW vs ENGW Pitch Report The venue of the match is Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein. It is one of the prominent venues in South Africa. It was established in 1989 and has been home to many Test matches, ODI, and T20 matches. It was also one of the venues for the 2003 Cricket World Cup. The venue has a seating capacity of around 20,000 spectators. Toss: To Bat A total of 5 Tests have happened at Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein and all ended in outright result. The teams batting first won 3 matches whereas the teams batting second have won 2. The team winning the toss should bat first here.

South Africa vs Pakistan, SA vs PAK 2024, Today Match Prediction

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :Β South Africa vs Pakistan𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 14 ,​Saturdayβ€‹β€‹π“πˆπŒπ„ :​ 21:30 PM IST​​​​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : DP World Wanderers Stadium, Sandton, South Africaπ“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ :​​ 3rd T20I 2024 South Africa eye a clean sweep South Africa vs Pakistan 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. RSA vs PAK Match Prediction & Analysis South Africa have sealed the 3-match T20I series with a win in the second outing at the SuperSport Park in Centurion. Both games have been high-scoring and the hosts had the upper hand on both occasions. Pakistan looked good with the bat but looked dependent on a couple of players. Mohammad Rizwan and Saim Ayyub are the only promising batters in this squad. The rest of the lineup including Babar Azam failed to get going. The Proteas will be confident of finishing the series on a winning note. While Reeza Hendricks has found his rhythm at the top with a hundred in the last outing, they have got the reliable Rassie van der Dussen and Heinrich Klaasen in the middle order. TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview South Africa are leading 2-0 and will be out to finish a clean sweep in Johannesburg. Though it looks like a solid batting lineup overall with key players in great touch, there is one player whose form will be a concern. Matthew Breetzke was out cheaply in both outings at number 3. All eyes will be on him to come good in the 3rd T20I and make a mark for himself. He averages just over 16 and has a strike rate of 122 from 10 T20Is. Rassie van der Dussen was sent down to number 4 after he was out for a duck in the opening game. He found his rhythm in the second match scoring an unbeaten 66 off 38 balls to help South Africa win by 7 wickets while chasing a 207-run target. Pakistan Preview Pakistan need to find other match-winners apart from Mohammad Rizwan and Saim Ayyub. Babar Azam was off to a steady start in the second match but failed to convert it into something more significant. Azam isn’t the typical T20 player who can score quick runs and accelerate the pace of the innings. He is expected to anchor the innings from one end and build partnerships with others who come in to bat alongside him. Rizwan and Saim Ayyub are in fine touch and will have their job cut out for them. They need to score big and haven’t got anyone else to rely on at the moment. Usman Khan and Tayyab Tahir haven’t looked promising in the middle order though Irfan Khan’s 30 off 16 balls at number 6 will raise hopes for the visitors. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy with a high of 18 degrees Celsius around the game in Johannesburg. Though there is a rain prediction for the next day, we don’t expect any interruptions during the 3rd T20I between the two sides. RSA vs PAK Pitch Report There is enough help for the batters on this wicket though its dryness might create some inconsistence bounce from a length. There will be pace on offer and the ball will come onto the bat nicely. The average 1st innings score in T20Is here is 176 runs. We reckon anything above 185-190 will be a highly competitive total on this pitch. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first have won 14 of the 27 T20Is played at this venue. Though there is no clear advantage to either batting or bowling first here, we reckon having runs on the board can put the team ahead in the contest. There is plenty of help for the batters and if the team batting first gets to a competitive score, they should have the upper hand in the second innings.

ZIM vs AFG Match Prediction & Analysis We have seen good competition in this series so far. Zimbabwe surprised everyone by winning the first game of the three-match series against Afghanistan by 4 wickets. However, the Afghans bounced back in the last game with a convincing 50-run win. As the battle moves to the series decider, we expect a close contest between the two teams as the hosts would look for a rare series win.    Afghanistan has dominated Zimbabwe in this format. They have lost only twice against them in 17 matches between the two teams. The Afghans have an experienced bowling attack that will enjoy bowling in these conditions. It will be a tall ask for the Zimbabweans, and we expect them to show a positive attitude and fight hard in the middle. TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview Sikandar Raza will be upset with his team’s batting performance in the last game. They succumbed under pressure and wasted an opportunity to win the series. The Zimbabwean skipper would like his players to draw inspiration from their win in the first game. They must play to their strengths to trouble the Afghans.  Brian Bennett must deliver a good start at the top with Tadiwanashe Marumani. The Afghans have a strong bowling attack and shall test them. Dion Myers must do well in the middle order and build partnerships with Wesley Madhevere and Sikandar Raza. Ryan Burl and Tashinga Musekiwa must do well in the finishers’ role.  Afghanistan Preview Rashid Khan’s team will be relieved after their win in the last game. The team was under pressure after losing the first game. The bowling attack performed brilliantly in the last game and delivered blows to the Zimbabwean batting. With the series leveled, Rashid and his men would go for the kill and look to grab the series.  Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Sediqullah Atal failed to convert their start in the last game, and the team expects a strong start from the pair. Darwish Rasooli played a match-winning knock in the last game and shall look to add runs in the middle order with Zubaid Akbari and Azmatullah Omarzai. Khan, Mohammad Nabi, and Gulbadin Naib strengthen the lower middle order.  The bowling attack performed brilliantly in the last game. The team expects early wickets from Naveen-ul-Haq and Mujeeb Ur Rahman to put the hosts under pressure. Rashid Khan is the best bowler in the team and shall look to do well in the middle overs with Omarzai and Fareed Ahmad Malik. Mohammad Nabi and Naib add depth to the bowling.  Weather Conditions There would be some cloud over Harare. The pitch will be a tough one to bat on. Batsmen will have to be cautious in their approach and play patiently. The average first-inning score is just above 155 runs, and the team batting first would be happy to have 180 runs on the board. ZIM vs AFG Pitch Report The pitch at Harare Sports Club is slow, which creates problems for the batsmen. The large outfield is also a challenge. Most players are used to playing in smaller parks in this format. There is early assistance for the fast bowlers, and spinners have done well as the ball tends to stop on the batsmen, creating doubts in their minds. Toss: To Bowl The track is dual-paced, and batting against the spinners is difficult. Batting won’t be easy here at the start, and chasing the score puts the team at an advantage. The side winning the toss here would like to bowl first.

New Zealand 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. NZ vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis With the series already in hand, England will aim for a 3-0 whitewash when they face New Zealand in the third and final Test at Hamilton on Saturday. The Kiwis, who stunned India in their previous series, had hoped to mount a strong challenge on home turf. However, England has proven dominant in all facets of the game, securing a commanding 2-0 lead. However, recent form suggests that England have the edge in its encounter. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview After their triumphant series in India, New Zealand had positioned themselves as strong candidates for the WTC finals. But their fortunes took a nosedive at home after they lost the first Tests against England quite comprehensively. With the series now already gone, the Kiwis will look to save face by avoiding a whitewash. The hosts’ batting has been particularly disappointing, with openers Devon Conway and Tom Latham failing to fire, averaging under 25 across their four innings. Conway’s absence in the upcoming game due to injury adds to their woes but has paved the way for Will Young to step in. Young was one of New Zealand’s top performers against India, scoring 244 runs in 6 innings at an average of 49.  England Preview England have been nothing short of masterful on this tour, clinching a series victory in New Zealand for the first time in over 15 years with two thumping wins on the trot.  Harry Brook has been in sensational form (349 runs in 3 innings at an average of 116), leading the run-scoring charts with two centuries and a fifty. He’s been ably supported by Joe Root, Ollie Pope, and Jacob Bethell in the middle order, ensuring a consistent flow of runs.  Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley have provided a solid platform at the top, while captain Ben Stokes adds further depth to an already strong lineup. Weather Conditions Seddon Park in Hamilton, known for its batting-friendly conditions, offers a flat track that generally aids run-scoring, especially in the first two days. The pitch tends to slow down as the match progresses, but there’s usually enough in it for the bowlers by the third or fourth day. Fast bowlers might find some early movement, particularly with the new ball, but overall, it’s a venue where batsmen can play big innings. The outfield is quick, which can help in chasing down totals or accumulating runs quickly. The weather in Hamilton will be very warm in the first two days. The third day will be extremely cloudy while the fourth day might see some showers in the afternoon, which might interrupt the game. The final day of the match will have clear weather. NZ vs ENG Pitch Report The average first innings score at Seddon Park is 310. The average runs per wicket at this venue is 31.77. The team batting first will look to get to a score of around 350-400 runs. Toss: To Bowl Stats show that teams tend to do better when they field first at Seddon Park. So, the captain who wins the toss might choose to bowl.

South Africa vs Pakistan 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. RSA vs PAK Match Prediction & Analysis The opening T20I was an excellent contest between two strong teams in this format and many pundits are expecting this second game of the series to be equally as competitive. Centurion is an excellent venue for any format of cricket and Pakistan have an excellent record here in T20Is so history would suggest that they are in a good position to go level in the series! But if they are to do that, they will need to find a way to tame David Miller and George Linde, both who dominated when at the crease on Tuesday. For the tourists, Shaheen Shah Afridi produced another brilliant bowling display and Mohammad Rizwan starred with the bat, but if they are to take the series to a decider, they will need more contributions from other batters on Friday. TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview It was David Miller who shone with the bat in the opening game of the series in Durban but this South Africa T20I side, who went all the way to the T20 World Cup final earlier this year, have plenty of other strong top order batters in their XI. Opening up will be Reeza Hendricks and Rassie van der Dussen before the impressive Matthew Breetzke, who many are predicting a long and strong international career, will come in at number three. Skipper and keeper-batter Heinrich Klaasen made only 12 in the first game but he is one of the great T20I batters of this generation and few would be surprised to see him top score in this game. Pakistan Preview There were four notable individual performances from Pakistan in the first T20I so even though they lost that game there should still be plenty of confidence in the squad, Those strong showing came from left-arm pace bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi (3/22), mystery spinner Abrar Ahmed (3/37), captain Mohammad Rizwan (74 runs from 62 balls) and number three batter Saim Ayub (31 runs from 15 balls). Coming to Centurion, Pakistan will be looking to others to step up as well and they are fortunate to have strong depth in this T20I squad. The great Babar Azam made a four-ball duck in the opening fixture and number four Usman Khan is another potential match-winner with the bat. Haris Rauf is another star bowler in this team. Weather Conditions According to the forecast, there is a chance of some rain across what is expected to be a cloudy Friday in Centurion. However, come the evening and this game we are predicting a dry affair! RSA vs PAK Pitch Report This was the venue for a high-scoring 216/6 playing 208/7 last month and it would be a surprise if we did not see over 400 runs again in this fixture. Good pace, good carry and the opportunity to score plenty of runs will be the order of the day. Toss: To Bowl India beat South Africa by batting first in the last T20I here but the previous five games in this format were all won by the team fielding first. Therefore, we are predicting that both captains will arrive at the ground hoping to bat first.

It is the tournament’s first game, and both teams are looking to make a good start. The United Arab Emirates has a stronger team on paper and shall look to leverage it.

They have won the last three games between the two teams. The team has a strong batting lineup which puts them in a good position.

Butt shall expect a stronger show from his players in this contest.  The team expects a good start from Umer Toor and Asif Ali, as the UAE has an experienced bowling attack. The middle order has been one of the perennial concerns for the team in recent matches, and they need partnerships between Imran Anwar, Haider Butt, and Junaid Aziz. The team expects a good show in the lower middle order from Fiaz Ahmed and Rizwan Butt.  United Arab Emirates Preview Muhammad Waseem’s team will go into this game with confidence. They have a strong batting lineup and will field a full-strength side after a long gap. They have done well against Bahrain in recent matches.
