MATCH: India vs Australia DATE: Nov 19, 2023TIME: 14:00 IST / 8:30 GMTVENUE: Narendra Modi Stadium – Ahmedabad, India TOURNAMENT: Cricket World Cup 2023 India vs Australia Betting Tips Virat Kohli is averaging 101.57 with a strike-rate of 90.68 across the competition and hit 117 runs from 113 balls in the win over New Zealand on Wednesday. The number three batter is well worth backing as India’s highest run scorer in the final. Mohammed Shami is the leading wicket taker in the 2023 Cricket World Cup in spite of only playing in six games. He has a strike-rate of 10.91 and he is our tip for India’s top wicket taker on Sunday. Only five other players have scored more than David Warner’s 528 runs during the tournament. At 37, this is expected to be his final Cricket World Cup appearance and he is our pick for Australia’s highest run scorer against India. Mitchell Starc took 3/34 against South Africa and has 233 wickets in this format across his career. He has gone wicketless only once in this campaign and we expect him to be Australia’s top wicket taker in this fixture. No other bowler has been able to dismiss as many batters as Mohammed Shami in the tournament and we recommend choosing him to take over 1.5 wickets in this final. India vs Australia Match Live Streaming 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 AUS ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Final Cricket World Cup 2023 The 2023 Cricket World Cup comes to a close on Sunday afternoon and evening as India and Australia play out the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium. India have won all their matches in the tournament and beat New Zealand by 70 runs at the Wankhede Stadium in Wednesday’s semi-final. Australia confirmed their place in Sunday’s game with a narrow 3 wicket win over South Africa at Eden Gardens on Thursday. Read on as we preview this final. The match gets underway in Ahmedabad at 14:00 local time. Most pundits expected India to be the strongest team in the competition but all have been surprised by just how strong and consistent they have been throughout the ten games so far. With top quality players across their side, they should have more than enough to win and lift the trophy. Australia looked to be heading out of the 2023 Cricket World Cup when they lost their opening two games but they have not looked back since and have also showed plenty of character when getting over the line in close matches. They will be competitive and will not be an easy opposition in the final. IND vs AUS Match Toss Prediction Three of the four group stage games at the Narendra Modi Stadium have been won by the team batting second during this 2023 Cricket World Cup. As a result, we expect both teams to choose to field first if they win the toss ahead of this match. In the past 2 years, India has played 55 ODI matches. They have a 70% win percentage with batting first and 71% with batting second. If we look at Australia’s past 2 years, they have played 38 ODI matches. They have a 63% win percentage by both batting or bowling first. IND vs AUS Pitch Report This should be a pitch which offers something to all bowlers and batting will not be easy at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. We expect a par score to be between 290-295. Ahmedabad Weather Report Humidity levels are expected to rise across this game with the temperature forecast to drop from the early 30s to the mid 20s. No rain is forecast across the final in Ahmedabad on Sunday Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for India vs Australia, Final World Cup 2023

T20 World Cup 2024: Australia faces Namibia with an eye on Super Eight; Sri Lanka in must-win situation against Nepal

Danijones5 months ago06 mins

Living up to the favourites tag with two consecutive wins, a confident Australia will aim to secure a Super Eight berth when they face lower-ranked Namibia in their Group B T20 World Cup clash in North Sound on June 12. Australia fired in unison to become the first team in this edition of the tournament to score 200-plus runs in a one-sided 36-run win over arch-rivals England in their last group league match. It was their second win from as many matches, having started off with a 39-run triumph over Oman. Beating Nambia will be enough for them to make the cut before they take on Scotland in their concluding Group B league fixture. Scotland lead the table with five points and along with Australia, are firmly ahead in the race to make the Super Eight at the expense of defending champions England who have one point from two matches. Their opening game against Scotland was a washout. Australia defeated Namibia by seven wickets after restricting their opponents to 119/9 in their only T20 meeting, albeit in a warm-up game two weeks back. Playing his last World Cup for Australia, David Warner has been in splendid form with one half century and it was his 16-ball 39 that set the tone for their 201/7 against England. Warner incidentally scored a fifty in the warm-up against Namibia as well. He has 97 runs in the tournament at a fine strike rate of 141.79. Warner’s opening partner Travis Head has also been at his explosive best and the duo will look to give the team a fiery start. Namibia will expect their veteran all-rounder David Wiese to step up after he starred in their Super-Over win against Oman. The globe-trotting all-rounder has the experience of facing Australia four times in T20Is during his stint with South Africa. Left-arm spinner Bernard Scholtz, who has been tidy conceding just one four and one six in his eight overs, will also look to make an impact. Teams (from) Australia: Mitchell Marsh (c), Ashton Agar, Pat Cummins, Tim David, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, David Warner and Adam Zampa. Namibia: Gerhard Erasmus (c), Zane Green, Michael Van Lingen, Dylan Leicher, Ruben Trumpelmann, Jack Brassell, Ben Shikongo, Tangeni Lungameni, Niko Davin, JJ Smit, Jan Frylinck, JP Kotze, David Wiese, Bernard Scholtz, Malan Kruger and PD Blignaut. Match starts: 6am IST. Sri Lanka in must win clash against Nepal Former champion Sri Lanka’s campaign has gone terribly haywire after defeats to South Africa and they are now faced with a do-or-die clash against Nepal in a group D fixture in Lauderhill, Florida.

South Africa have already qualified to Super Eight following their nervy win over Bangladesh. A win for the Wanindu Hasaranga-led side will further heat up the race for the second spot with Bangladesh, Netherlands, and Nepal also in the reckoning. For that to happen, the onus will be on the batters. A loss, on the other hand, would mean curtains for Sri Lanka.

MATCH: West Indies vs EnglandDATE: Dec 20, 2023TIME: 01:30 IST / 4:00 GMTVENUE: Brian Lara Stadium – Tarouba, Trinidad And Tobago TOURNAMENT: West Indies vs England 2023 West Indies vs England Betting Tips Nicholas Pooran top scored for West Indies with 82 runs from 45 balls on Saturday and the keeper-batter is a strong choice for their highest run scorer in Tarouba. Gudakesh Motie has caused England’s batters problems with his left-arm spin in the series and he is well worth backing as West Indies’ top wicket taker in this T20I.Phil Salt hit his first T20I century with 109 not out from 56 balls in Grenada and the opener is our tip for England’s highest run scorer against West Indies. Adil Rashid took another 2 wickets on Saturday and we expect the spinner to be England’s top wicket taker in Tarouba.Irrespective of the venue, Adil Rashid has proven that he is in fine form with the white ball at the moment. We recommend choosing him to take over 1.5 wickets in the fourth T20I. West Indies 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. WI vs ENG 4th T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips West Indies and England move to the third venue of their five match T20I series on Tuesday as they go head to head in the fourth game. West Indies currently lead the series 2-1 after England got their first win on Saturday when they chased down an improbable target of 223 with 1 ball remaining! Read on as we preview this T20I. The fourth match of the series begins at the Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba at 16:00 local time. West Indies very nearly secured the series in the third T20I but they were unable to stop England’s powerful batters getting over the line. The momentum of the series may well now have switched but with the consistency of their batting line-up, West Indies still have an excellent chance of winning this game. Confidence will be high in the batting line-up for England after the impressive exploits from Phil Salt, Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone and Harry Brook on Saturday. If the bowling line-up can keep West Indies’ batters from making a big total then England could well level the series. WI vs ENG Match Toss PredictionIn the two previous T20Is in Tarouba, the team batting first has won by 4 runs and by 68 runs. As a result, we expect both teams to want to bat first in this game. WI vs ENG Pitch ReportThere is often some assistance from the pitch for the bowlers at the Brian Lara Stadium. Any score in the first innings of over 190 will be tough to chase down in the second innings. Trinidad Weather ReportAccording to the weather forecast, thundery showers will be in the region across Tuesday afternoon. However, they should not last long and warm weather will ensure a quick drying up of the outfield.

Get to Know Who will win PAK vs BAN World Cup 2023 match and toss Prediction with Head to Head stats, Playing 11,K9Win , Betting Rates, Live score & winning percentage. MATCH: Pakistan vs BangladeshDATE: Oct 31, 2023TIME: 14:00 IST / 8:30 GMTVENUE: Eden Gardens – Kolkata, IndiaTOURNAMENT: Cricket World Cup PAK vs BAN Betting Tips Babar Azam hit 50 runs from 65 balls against South Africa before being dismissed immediately after reaching his half-century for the second time in the tournament. The right-handed captain has not made three scores of 50+ from his last four innings in the competition and will be looking for his third successive half-century in this match. Pakistan need him to go on and make a century in this game and we are backing him to be their highest run scorer against Bangladesh. Ahead of Monday’s 2023 Cricket World Cup fixture, Shaheen Shah Afridi was in the top five wicket takers with 13 dismissals at an average of 22.76 and a strike-rate of 24.00. He already has a 5-wicket haul in this campaign and needs to take only one wicket in this match to bring up 100 ODI dismissals. The opening bowler is our tip for Pakistan’s top wicket taker this Tuesday.Mehidy Hasan Miraz hit five fours and one six in the last match but has posted some big scores over the last 12 months in this format including 100 not out against India in December 2022, 112 not out against Afghanistan during the Asia Cup last month and opened the tournament with a half-century against the same opposition. In a team of inconsistent batters we have picked him out to be Bangladesh’s highest run scorer against Pakistan. Left-arm pace bowler Mustafizur Rahman has enjoyed a strong international career across all formats since making his debut for Bangladesh in 2015. He was expensive against South Africa but was the standout bowler for the Tigers against the Netherlands returning figures of 2-36 from 10 overs including bowling a maiden and dismissing the skipper Scott Edwards. Mustafizur is our tip for Bangladesh’s top wicket taker in this fixture.With 9 wickets from the last four matches in the tournament, we recommend selecting Shaheen Shah Afridi to take over 1.5 wickets in this game. Pakistan vs Bangladesh 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. PAK vs BAN ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Cricket World Cup 2023 Match 31 of the 2023 Cricket World Cup sees Pakistan take on Bangladesh at Eden Gardens on Tuesday afternoon. Pakistan beat the Netherlands and Sri Lanka in their opening two matches but have since been beaten by India, Australia, Afghanistan and South Africa. Bangladesh also won their opener, by 6 wickets with 92 balls remaining against Afghanistan, but have not won any of their five games since and were easily beaten by the Netherlands by 87 runs on Saturday, here at Eden Gardens in Match 28. Read on as we preview this day-night clash. This match begins in Kolkata at 14:00 local time. Pakistan pushed South Africa all the way on Friday and but for an umpire’s call decision, could easily have walked off the pitch as winners. It was their best showing from their previous three defeats and we expect them to have enough with both bat and ball to win this clash. Bangladesh have been very poor across this tournament and will come into this game in ninth place. However, they still have plenty to play for as only the top eight teams will qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy so we can expect them to be going all out for the win in this match. PAK vs BAN Match Toss PredictionSeven of the last eight ODIs at this venue have been won by the team batting first so we are predicting that both skippers will choose to bat first if they win the toss on Tuesday. PAK vs BAN Pitch ReportWe saw 20 wickets fall across the match between Bangladesh and the Netherlands at Eden Gardens on Saturday with only 371 runs scored in total. But it is a better batting surface than that would suggest and we expect a par score to be around 310-315. Kolkata Weather ReportSunny and humid throughout is the weather forecast for Kolkata on Tuesday with the temperature likely to be in the low 30s throughout. There is no chance of a rain interruption.

T20 World Cup: Suryakumar Yadav, Arshdeep Singh shine as India beat USA to reach Super 8s | Cricket News

Danijones5 months ago03 mins

NEW DELHI: Suryakumar Yadav‘s unbeaten half-century and Arshdeep Singh‘s career-best bowling figures of 4-9 propelled India to a seven-wicket victory over the United States in their Group A encounter at the T20 World Cup on Wednesday. The win secured India’s spot in the Super Eights round.India’s chase of the modest 111-run target was not without hiccups, as they found themselves in trouble at 15-2 and then 44-3. However, Yadav (50) and Shivam Dube (31) steadied the ship with an unbroken 67-run partnership for the fourth wicket, guiding their team to victory with 10 balls to spare. The United States, despite the loss, remain in a strong position to advance to the Super Eights alongside India, as they have four points, while Pakistan and Canada have two each.India’s top order struggled against Mumbai-born fast bowler Saurabh Netravalkar, who dismissed Virat Kohli for a golden duck and also accounted for Rohit Sharma‘s wicket. Rishabh Pant’s brief 18-run innings ended when Ali Khan rattled his stumps. Earlier, the United States got off to a disastrous start, losing two wickets to Arshdeep Singh in the first over, with the score reading 3-2. Captain Aaron Jones, who had scored an unbeaten 94 against Canada, managed only 11 runs before falling to Hardik Pandya. Steven Taylor (24) and Nitish Kumar (27) added 31 runs for the fourth wicket, but the latter was brilliantly caught by Mohammed Siraj off Arshdeep’s bowling. Corey Anderson, the former New Zealand all-rounder, scored 15 before being caught by Pant off Pandya, who completed a wicket-maiden. The United States managed to cross the 100-run mark thanks to contributions from Shadley van Schalkwyk (11) and Jasdeep Singh (2).India now join Australia and South Africa as the three teams to have secured their places in the next stage of the tournament.

Terror threat to T20 World Cup from Pakistan, hosts West Indies assure safety

Danijones6 months ago04 mins

The West Indies, co-hosts of the T20 World Cup, have reportedly received a terror threat from North Pakistan. However, West Indies (CWI), informed the public that all safety precautions have been taken. According to a reliable source familiar with the situation, the Caribbean islands have been alerted to potential terror risks originating from North Pakistan. The T20 World Cup is scheduled to take place in the West Indies and the US from June 1 to 29. The West Indies will host World Cup matches in Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Guyana, Saint Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago. There are also matches in the US cities of Florida, New York, and Texas, although there is no sign of a threat to the games in the United States. The two semifinals will take place in Trinidad and Guyana, with the final scheduled for Barbados. “We are closely monitoring the situation and maintaining close communication with relevant authorities,” stated the source. “Continuous evaluation of security measures is underway to ensure appropriate plans are in place to mitigate any identified risks.” The threat has been attributed to IS Khorasan, adding to the gravity of the situation. The ‘Daily Express’ quoted Trinidad Prime Minister Keith Rowley as saying that security services had procedures in place to deal with any threats to matches. According to the article, “the Barbados regional security officials are monitoring potential threats to the ICC event” as well as that “intelligence of a potential threat to the World Cup has been received through Pro-Islamic State (Daesh) through the media group ‘Nashir Pakistan’.” INDIA’s CT2025 PARTICIPATION? A pivotal question looms over India’s potential involvement in the forthcoming Champions Trophy, set to take place in Pakistan in 2025. Given the heightened security concerns stemming from the northern regions of Pakistan, there arises uncertainty regarding India’s willingness to travel to the host nation. Reports indicate that the threat extends even to the T20 World Cup. In response, the ICC is slated to convene for its Annual General Meeting in July, hosted in Sri Lanka this year. Among the agenda items, deliberations will center on the feasibility of holding the Champions Trophy in Pakistan or relocating it to a neutral venue, with paramount consideration for the safety and security of players. Recently, PCB officials convened with ICC’s General Manager, Wasim Khan, to deliberate on the scheduling nuances of the Champions Trophy, particularly concerning India’s fixtures. As per the proposed itinerary drafted by PCB, all of India’s matches are slated to unfold in Lahore. The rationale behind this concentrated venue allocation is to streamline security measures and logistical arrangements, thereby mitigating potential challenges.

PAK vs BAN Match Prediction & Analysis Host Pakistan will be desperate to level the two-match series when they take on Bangladesh in the second and final game at Rawalpindi on Friday. 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. In the batting department, the side will be relying on the likes of openers Zakir Hasan, Shadman Islam, captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, the experienced trio of Mushfiqur Rahim, Mominul Haque, and Shakib Al Hasan to deliver the bulk of the runs in this contest. Weather Conditions The average first innings total posted here in Rawalpindi is around 345 runs. The opening Test played at Rawalpindi this week saw Bangladesh post a mammoth 565 runs against Pakistan. The match was eventually won by Bangladesh by ten wickets.
