Did our diplomats live up to the challenge,” US Consulate General Mumbai captioned a post on Instagram. Siraj offered tips on bowling, while Gaikwad and Dube helped the diplomats learn the art of batting. At the end of the video, the Indian players and US diplomats wished India the “best of luck” for the upcoming tournament. Last Sunday, the first batch of Indian players, including skipper Rohit Sharma, pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and number-one-ranked T20I batter Suryakumar Yadav, left for the United States. At the Mumbai airport, besides skipper Rohit, Bumrah and Suryakumar, head coach Rahul Dravid, batting coach Vikram Rathour, batter Shubman Gill, all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Dube, pacers Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Khaleel Ahmed, spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel were also captured. India will start their T20 World Cup campaign on June 5 against Ireland at the newly constructed Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. Meanwhile, the most-awaited blockbuster clash between India and Pakistan will take place on June 9. They will later play tournament co-hosts USA and Canada to wrap up their Group A matches. In the tournament, India will be aiming to end their ICC trophy drought, having last won the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013. Since then, India has reached the 50-over World Cup final in 2023, the semifinals in 2015 and 2019, the title clash of the ICC World Test Championship in 2021 and 2023, T20 World Cup final in 2014 and the semifinals in 2016 and 2022, but has failed to secure a big ICC trophy. India will be aiming to win their first T20 WC title ever since they won the inaugural edition of the tournament back in 2007 in South Africa. In the last edition held in Australia in 2022, India lost to England by 10 wickets in the semifinals. India squad: Rohit Sharma , Hardik Pandya , Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant , Sanju Samson , Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd.

Get to Know Who will win ENG vs AFG World Cup 2023 match and toss Prediction with Head to Head stats, Playing 11, K9Win , Betting Rates, Live score & winning percentage. MATCH: England vs AfghanistanDATE: Oct 15, 2023TIME: 14:00 IST / 8:30 GMTVENUE: Arun Jaitley Stadium – New Delhi, India TOURNAMENT: Cricket World Cup ENG vs AFG Betting Tips Dawid Malan has hit exactly 1200 ODI runs from 23 innings in the format and he hit his sixth century in the win over Bangladesh on Tuesday. He averages a remarkable 63.14 from his last seven ODIs with his overall average in this format almost identical at 63.15. The left-hander is our pick for England’s highest run scorer against Afghanistan. There was quite a bit of surprise when Reece Topley was left out of the XI for England’s opening match after he had impressed in home ODIs this summer. He took 4-43 against Bangladesh and we expect the opening bowler to be England’s top wicket taker in Match 13.Hashmatullah Shahidi made his 17th ODI half-century in the defeat to India but impressed many pundits and opposing players with his calmness at the crease and range of shots. His confidence levels seemed to increase as the innings progressed and the Afghanistan skipper is our tip for their highest run scorer against England. Rashid Khan was the only one of Afghanistan’s six man bowling unit to pick up a wicket against India and he finished with figures of 2-57. Some of England’s batters look a little unsure against top quality spin and we are backing Rashid to be Afghanistan’s top wicket taker in this clash.There are very few other ODI batters who are as consistent as Dawid Malan and we recommend choosing him to hit over 31.5 runs in this match. England vs Afghanistan 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. ENG vs AFG ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Cricket World Cup 2023 England and Afghanistan meet on Sunday in Match 13 of the 2023 Cricket World Cup at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. The 2019 Cricket World Cup champions, England, lost their opening match of this year’s tournament by 9 wickets to New Zealand but bounced back with a 137 run victory over Bangladesh on Tuesday. Afghanistan have played two and lost two in this campaign with defeats coming by 6 wickets against Bangladesh in Match 3 and by 8 wickets against India in Match 9. Read on as we preview this clash. The day-night match gets underway at 14:00 local time. England needed to show character in their second match of the tournament and did so producing an excellent performance with both bat and ball against Bangladesh. It would be a big surprise if England did not make it two wins from three in this game. Afghanistan have some excellent young players in their squad but overall they continue to struggle when they come up against the best teams in the world. We expect them to struggle against England although they may well cause a few problems with their bowling attack. ENG vs AFG Match Toss PredictionTwo of the last three ODIs, including India’s win over Afghanistan earlier this week, have been won by the team fielding first at this venue. We predict that both captains will choose to field first if they win the toss ahead of this match. ENG vs AFG Pitch ReportThis is an excellent batting track at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, as seen by India chasing down their target of 273 with 15 overs remaining against Afghanistan. There is good pace in the wicket for the quick bowlers to exploit. Delhi Weather ReportHumidity is not a big issue in Delhi with the forecast for Sunday a mixture of sunshine spells and light cloud. The temperature is expected to be in the mid-low 30s across this match. Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for England vs Afghanistan, World Cup 2023

Vann Hiso05 mins

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : INDIA VS SOUTH AFRICA WOMEN’S𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : 09 July 2024𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:00 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, India𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd T20 2024 INDIA VS SOUTH AFRICA WOMEN’S MATCH PREDICTION & ANALYSIS India Women have been tested by the visitors in the T20I series so far. The hosts were on top throughout this tour winning the ODI series 3-0 and the Test by 10 wickets. However, even after winning the toss in both T20Is, the hosts couldn’t get what they would have wanted. South Africa Women posted some very competitive totals on both occasions. The 2nd T20I was washed out after 1st innings. The visitors have a real chance of winning the series. They have enjoyed the pitch conditions so far with their batters delivering pretty impactful knocks at all key positions. However, this pitch has traditionally helped the spinners but in recent IPL editions was curated in such a way that we’d have high-scoring encounters. After two outings here, it needs to be seen whether the pitch continues to offer pace and bounce and slows down. India Women India need a strong comeback from their bowlers if they bowl first in this match as well. They’ve had a few good performances but their overall bowling effort has been quite underwhelming. In the 1st T20I, they struggled to find a breakthrough after the fall of the 1st wicket in the 8th Over. While the hosts were better than that in the next match, finding regular breakthroughs, they continued to be expensive in the death overs. Deepthi Sharma, Radha Yadav, and Pooja Vastrakar are the key bowlers in this squad to watch out for. These three will need to lead the wicket-taking efforts and ensure India are on top of the game. South Africa Women South Africa Women are looking in great touch with consistent batting performances. Their lower order also came to the party in the last match as they delivered a big finish in the final over of the innings. The openers Laura Wolvaardt and Tamzin Brits have taken an attacking approach to their batting. The skipper scored 22 off 12 in her last outing while Brits has scored 52 of 81 in the two matches so far. Experienced and in-form batters in the top order make the Proteas very strong. In the middle order, they’ve got Marizanne Kapp and Anneke Bosch who haven’t missed a beat.  INDIA VS SOUTH AFRICA WOMEN’S Pitch Report MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai will be the venue for this match. It has been a great venue for T20 cricket where both batters and bowlers have found help from the pitch. The average 1st innings score here is 158 runs in T20Is. However, as we saw in recent matches, the team batting first needs to cross the 185-run mark to be on top of the game.

Image Source : WINDIES CRICKET X Cricket West Indies has assured safety amid security threat to the T20 World Cup Cricket West Indies (CWI) has acknowledged a security threat alert received with respect to the T20 World Cup set to take place in the Caribbean and the USA from June 1 to 29. However, CWI has assured safety amids the security risks and mentioned that it will work closely with the island nations across the Caribbean to mitigate any such threat for smooth scheduling of the marquee event. As per a Cricbuzz report, the threat came from Pakistan to the Caribbean Islands with IS trying to incite violence and disrupt sporting events for the fulfilment of their agenda. “Pro-Islamic State (IS) media sources have launched campaigns inciting violence against sporting events, which included video messages from the Afghanistan-Pakistan branch, ISKhorasan (IS-K) which highlighted assaults in numerous countries and urged supporters to join the battlefield in their countries,” the security threat was quoted in the report. CWI CEO Jonny Graves assured the safety and security of every stakeholder at the T20 World Cup saying that they have an elaborate security plan in place for the tournament. The report further stated that the intelligence of the security threat came from IS propaganda channel Nashir-e-Pakistan.  The tournament is set to take place at six venues in the Caribbean namely, Antigua and Barbuda, St Lucia, Guyana, Trinidad, St Vincent and the Grenadines and Barbados along with three venues in the United States of America, Dallas, Florida and New York. The threat is limited to the Caribbean islands. The US venues share the hosting duties with the Caribbean islands for the group stage featuring 20 teams in four groups of five each before the latter take over completely for the Super Eight and semis and the final. Guyana and Trinidad will host the two semi-finals on June 26 and 27 before the final in Barbados on June 29.

T20 World Cup 2024, Match 10: Australia vs Oman Players To Watch Out for

T20 World Cup 2024, Match 10: Australia vs Oman Players To Watch Out for

Danijones04 mins

However, Australia’s recent form is impressive, having won four out of their last five games, indicating a robust preparation and a formidable lineup. Players to Watch Out For Oman 1. Aqib Ilyas: A key player for Oman, Aqib Ilyas is a top-order right-handed batter who has scored 113 runs in his last five matches. Additionally, he contributes with the ball, having taken 11 wickets with his off-break bowling in recent games, making him a valuable all-rounder. 2. Zeeshan Maqsood: Another vital player for Oman, Zeeshan Maqsood is a top-order left-handed batter who has scored 86 runs in his recent matches. He also offers an additional bowling option with his slow left-arm orthodox, having taken six wickets in his last five games. His dual skills add significant depth to the team. 3. Mehran Khan: Mehran Khan is a reliable right-arm medium-fast bowler for Oman. He has taken two wickets in his last five matches, showcasing his ability to deliver crucial breakthroughs. His consistency and wicket-taking ability will be crucial for Oman in this match. Australia 1. Adam Zampa: For Australia, Adam Zampa is a standout performer with his leg-break googly bowling. In his last five matches, Zampa has taken 10 wickets, highlighting his prowess as a key wicket-taker. His performance will be pivotal in restricting Oman’s batting lineup. 2. Travis Head: A top-order left-handed batter, Australia’s Travis Head will be looking to make a significant impact. Although he has scored only 34 runs in his last five matches, Head’s potential to deliver big innings makes him a player to watch. 3. David Warner: Another crucial player for Australia, David Warner is known for his explosive batting at the top of the order. In his last five matches, Warner has scored 79 runs and his experience and aggressive style will be vital for setting a strong foundation for Australia. Conclusion Considering the strong lineup and recent form, Australia are expected to have an edge over Oman. However, Oman’s early momentum in the tournament and key players in form could make this a closely contested match. Fans can look forward to a captivating game as both teams aim to strengthen their position in the tournament.

Champions League Final Most 'Dangerous' Game: Real Madrid's Carlo Ancelotti

Champions League Final Most ‘Dangerous’ Game: Real Madrid’s Carlo Ancelotti

Danijones06 mins

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti warned his players the Champions League final is the most “dangerous” game in football on the eve of their clash with Borussia Dortmund at Wembley. The Italian, who has won the competition as a coach a record four times, said Los Blancos were afraid the trophy could escape them. Madrid, record 14-time winners, are firm favourites for the clash against the Bundesliga side. “A Champions League final is the most important game but also the most dangerous,” Ancelotti told a news conference Friday. “We have to enjoy being here, but knowing it can go wrong because we are close to the most important thing in football — winning a Champions League — but having the fear this can escape us. “Things have to go very well, you need to be lucky too, success is very close and so the worry begins tomorrow morning, tomorrow afternoon.” Real Madrid captain Nacho said he was feeling confident but nervous. “We’ve got more nerves than in any other moment of the season,” admitted Madrid captain Nacho. “We’re humans, it’s a calm week for (some people) but for the players it’s not. It’s special, and that makes it not calm.” Veteran midfielder Luka Modric said despite Madrid’s strength in contrast to Dortmund, he was approaching the match as if it were an even battle. “Everyone thinks we are big favourites, but we don’t think about it like that,” said the Croatian. “It’s 50-50, we’re playing a big team that has had a magnificent season in the Champions League.” Nacho and Modric, along with Toni Kroos and Dani Carvajal, would reach six career Champions League wins with a victory over Dortmund, levelling all-time leader and former Madrid great Paco Gento. “It was hard to imagine we’d get to this moment but we are here, very happy and enjoying this moment,” said Modric. “I hope tomorrow we can take this step further, as a team and have six European Cups would be something big.” ‘Something special’ Madrid came from behind to beat Bayern Munich in the semi-finals and have a remarkable ability to turn games around in Europe when it seems like they are defeated. “We prefer to take the lead if it’s possible,” said Modric.  “But we’ve shown many times this year and before, that when things don’t go well we fight until the end. “We always find a way, we’re capable of turning the game around. We keep having this mentality, this commitment and fight, but like I said, we’d prefer to take the lead.” Ancelotti said Madrid’s ability to come back from the dead “has happened so many times it’s not chance”. “It’s something special… it could be the history, the quality, the tradition, the character,” he mused. The coach confirmed goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois would start the final ahead of Andriy Lunin, resolving the main selection query ahead of the game. “Lunin had the flu and hasn’t travelled with the team, tomorrow he will travel and will be on the bench — Courtois will play tomorrow,” said Ancelotti. Belgian stopper Courtois returned from a long-term knee injury earlier in May and has kept four clean sheets in four appearances since.

Ruturaj Gaikwad's Honest Revelation On Captaining MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja In IPL 2024

Ruturaj Gaikwad’s Honest Revelation On Captaining MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja In IPL 2024

Danijones03 mins

Ruturaj Gaikwad with MS Dhoni in IPL 2024© BCCI/Sportzpics It could become difficult for a young player to lead a team that has veterans like MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ajinkya Rahane. Yet Ruturaj Gaikad impressed many with his leadership qualities as he led the Chennai Super Kings squad in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. It was right before the start of the tournament that CSK announced a captaincy change, with Dhoni passing on the baton to Gaikwad. When the CSK skipper was asked about the difficulty in leading such players, he gave an honest response. “I felt good right from the start (of the tournament). I am very approachable for all teammates whenever needed and they always support the team in whatever way the team requires,” Gaikwad said of the captaincy challenge, to Times of India. “I wouldn’t say it’s difficult as all of them are very understanding. All the senior players that are a part of the team are great to be with. Their experience always helps with match situations,” he added. Gaikwad also displayed a similar calm and composure on the field that people have seen from MS Dhoni for years. The CSK captain revealed that ‘being neutral’ is something he learned from Dhoni, and now he doesn’t get too excited about wins, or too low about losses. “Being neutral is something that I have learnt from Mahi bhai. Not getting too excited about anything or being down by anything is the right approach that I have picked up,” Ruturaj said. “While batting irrespective of being captain or not, my approach is always the same. Doesn’t really change a lot. You cannot plan to become leaders so being good team players and putting the team first will always stand a good chance to be one,” the CSK skipper explained.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Netherlands vs Canada𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Aug 11, 2024𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 :​​ 14:30 IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Sporthal Essesteijn, Voorburg, Netherlands𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ICC Cricket World Cup League Two, 2023-27 Can Netherlands end Canada’s unbeaten run? Netherlands vs Canada 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. NED vs CAN Match Prediction & Analysis The Netherlands are back home for the next phase of the Cricket World Cup League Two 2023-27. In the first phase, they played Nepal and Namibia in Kirtipur, Nepal where they lost once to each of the two opponents. Netherlands Preview The batting was a mess when the Netherlands played in the tri-series in Kritipur Nepal. After they beat Namibia by 7 wickets chasing down a 124-run target, the Netherlands failed to chase 204 runs in the very next game and were bowled out for 179 runs. Canada Preview Canada are coming to the Netherlands with 4 consecutive wins. However, much like the hosts, Canada too struggled when they played in Nepal losing all of their 3 ODIs against the home team. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy in Voorburg on the match day and will get sunny as the game progresses. The wicket should get better to bat on as the sun comes out in the second innings and help the chasing team. NED vs CAN Pitch Report From what was seen in the only game played here at the Sportpark Duivesteijn between West Indies Women and Pakistan Women, we can say that the bowlers will find plenty of help from the surface and it may not be a very high-scoring pitch. The team batting first should be looking for something around 260 runs to have the upper hand in the match.
