Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings 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. PBKS vs CSK Match Prediction & Analysis The Punjab Kings (PBKS) are set to face the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 22nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on April 8, 2025, at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh. Both teams are eager to rebound after recent losses, making this a crucial encounter for their standings in the tournament. PBKS started the season with two consecutive victories but faced a setback in their recent match against the Rajasthan Royals, losing by 50 runs. Despite the standout performance from Nehal Wadhera (62 off 41), the failure of the top order hampered Punjab Kings’ chances to continue the unbeaten run. The team aims to regain momentum in this fixture. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have played four matches in the IPL 2025 season, securing one win and suffering three losses. After the victory in the first game of the season against the Mumbai Indians, CSK has now lost the next three games against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the Rajasthan Royals, and the Delhi Capitals. All three losses have come chasing the target. TEAMS PREVIEW Punjab Kings Preview Priyansh Arya will open the innings with Prabhasimran Singh. Arya played a knock of 47 runs off 23 deliveries against Gujarat Titans while Singh scored a half-century (69 off 34) in the second game. PBKS’ skipper Shreyas Iyer will be the batter to watch out for. Iyer has scored two unbeaten half-centuries (97* & 52*) in the first two games, hitting 13 sixes. Nehal Wadhera will come at number four. Wadhera scored 62 off 41 balls in the last game. Shashank Singh will come in the middle with all-rounders Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis. Singh scored 44 off 16 balls in the second game. But in the last game, he managed to score just 10 off 13 balls.  Maxwell scored 30 runs in the last game but has picked up two wickets with the ball so far. On the other hand, Stoinis has had a poor run with the bat and the ball this season. Arshdeep Singh will lead the bowling attack with Lockie Ferguson and Marco Jenson. Singh will be the bowler to watch out for. He has picked up 6 wickets in the three games. His economy is just below 10. Jansen has two wickets while Ferguson has three in two games. The PBKS bowlers are yet to show their strength. Chahal will be the lead spinner in the bowling attack. Chennai Super Kings Preview Just four matches into IPL 2025, Chennai Super Kings have already rotated through 17 players, including all seven of their overseas options, as they continue to search for the right balance and a winning formula. Ruturaj Gaikwad will open the innings with Rachin Ravindra. Gaikwad has 121 runs in four games with two half-centuries at a strike rate of 155 – the highest among the batters. He will be the batter to watch out for. Ravindra has 109 runs in four games. Conway will come in at number three. He scored 13 runs in the last game.  Vijay Shankar will come in the middle with Ravindra Jadeja and Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Shankar played a knock of 69 runs in the last game. Jadeja has been poor with the bat, posting 76 runs. He has just two wickets with the ball so far. MS Dhoni has 76 runs in three innings at a strike rate of 138. CSK is facing trouble with their super-sub Shivam Dube. Dube has just 64 runs in four innings. Noor Ahmed will lead the bowling attack with Matheesha Pathirana and Khaleel Ahmed. Noor has 10 wickets in four games at an average of 11.80 – the lowest among the bowlers. He will be the bowler to watch out for. Khalleel has also picked up 8 wickets at an average of 15. On the other hand, Pathirana has 5 wickets in three games. CSK spinners are yet to find their magic with Ashwin leading the attack. Weather Conditions The weather at Mullanpur, Chandigarh, is expected to be sunny on match day, with temperatures ranging between 19 and 37 degrees Celsius. Winds will blow from the southeast at 8-14 km/h. Rain is expected with the lightning.  It is a batting-friendly pitch. As the game progresses and the pitch gets older, batsmen can play their shots comfortably.  PBKS vs CSK Pitch Report The game will be played at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, Chandigarh, 7:30 p.m. onwards.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​​​​ Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 08, Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Eden Gardens, Kolkata, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Lucknow Super Giants in both their matchups in IPL 2024. Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants 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. KKR vs LSG Match Prediction & Analysis Tuesday’s IPL 2025 action brings us to Kolkata where the Knight Riders face off against the Lucknow Super Giants in match 21. After stumbling initially, KKR have bounced back impressively with a dominant victory against SRH on their home turf. This momentum should help them against an erratic LSG squad, who’ll need to seriously lift their game if they hope to overcome the title holders in Kolkata. RECENT PERFORMANCE TEAMS PREVIEW Kolkata Knight Riders Preview After a shaky start to their season, Kolkata Knight Riders finally found their rhythm in the fourth game, hammering Sunrisers Hyderabad by 80 runs at home. They posted a strong 200-5 on a slightly sticky pitch, then skittled SRH for just 120 in reply. Things didn’t start great—they lost two early wickets—but Rahane (38 off 27) and Raghuvanshi (50 off 32) steadied the innings with smart batting. Later, Venkatesh Iyer (60 off 29) and Rinku Singh (32* off 17) turned the heat up and pushed the total to a winning one. The openers haven’t fired yet, but Rahane brings some calm at one-down. Raghuvanshi may be new, but he’s showing good temperament and looks like someone who can keep contributing solid runs. With Venkatesh and Rinku back among the runs, the batting unit suddenly feels a lot stronger. Lucknow Super Giants Preview Lucknow Super Giants have had a bit of an up-and-down run so far in IPL 2025. They’ve won two games and lost two, most recently sneaking past Mumbai Indians by 12 runs. That result helped them climb to sixth in the table. Batting first, they posted a solid 203-8 and did just enough to keep Mumbai to 191-5. Mitchell Marsh was the difference-maker, blasting a rapid 60 from just 31 balls. Aiden Markram finally got some runs under his belt too, finishing with 53 off 38. Nicholas Pooran has been the most dependable batter for LSG over the last two seasons. He’s had good memories at Eden Gardens too—scoring 45 (32) and 58 (30) in his last two games there. Backing him to clear 30 runs this time wouldn’t be a stretch. On the other hand, Rishabh Pant’s poor form continues to hurt LSG. With only 19 runs in four games, he’s put added pressure on the rest of the batting order. David Miller hasn’t offered much relief either, struggling for timing and form. One bright spot has been the lower middle order. Ayush Badoni and Abdul Samad have chipped in with a couple of useful cameos. Samad could be handy again, especially against KKR’s spinners. Weather Conditions The pitch we saw in the previous game was a typical Eden pitch – a little on the slower side while being generally good for batting. Given that KKR won that match handsomely, we should expect another similar surface where the ball holds up a bit and batters will need to be patient to score the big hits. Spinners will dominate the proceedings, which makes the powerplay crucial as batters will have to maximize it.  The weather in Kolkata will be slightly cloudy but still humid at night. There is no rain forecast, so we will have a full game. KKR vs LSG Pitch Report Eden Gardens typically sees an average first-innings score of 167. In the two games played at the venue in IPL 2025, we have seen two contrasting pitches with the first innings scores being 174-8 and 200-5. If we get a slower pitch similar to the previous game, both teams will eye a total of around 180-190 to feel confident.  Toss: To Bat Going by what we saw in the previous match, batting first and putting an above-par score is the safest option at the Eden.

Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​​​​ Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 07, Monday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai City, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 Mumbai Indians have dominated Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Wankhede, winning eight matches while losing only three. Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru 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. MI vs RCB Match Prediction & Analysis Match 20 of the IPL 2025 sees Mumbai Indians (MI) hosting Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at Wankhede this Monday. It’s been a bumpy ride for Mumbai so far—three tough losses and just one solid win at home. RCB kicked things off strongly with two convincing victories, but their momentum took a hit after a big loss to Gujarat Titans. Can Mumbai find their rhythm again, or will RCB bounce back and hand them another defeat? TEAMS PREVIEW Mumbai Indians Preview It’s been a bumpy IPL season so far for Mumbai Indians. They’ve picked up just one win at home, while losing all three away matches. Their only real high point was the win over KKR at Wankhede, but away from home, they’ve been poor. In the last match, they fell short by 12 runs chasing 204 against LSG. Their top order hasn’t fired consistently. Will Jacks and Ryan Rickelton have had their moments but haven’t done enough. Rohit Sharma missed the last game and hasn’t been in great rhythm lately, so expectations from him aren’t high at this stage. Tilak Varma couldn’t find the boundary at the right time in their last match, and that slow patch proved costly. But the Wankhede should suit his game better, and he might come good here. Suryakumar Yadav, on the other hand, has been excellent—171 runs in four innings, averaging 57 and a strike rate over 160. Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview Royal Challengers Bengaluru got off to a strong start with away wins over KKR and CSK. But things took a turn when they played at home for the first time this season, going down to Gujarat Titans. RCB batted first at the batting-friendly M. Chinnaswamy Stadium and posted a below-par 169-8. Gujarat had no trouble chasing that, getting there in just 17.2 overs and losing only two wickets. It was a tough outing for RCB, and they’ll want to shake it off quickly and get back in the groove. The top order is clicking well. Virat Kohli, Philip Salt, and Rajat Patidar have all looked solid. Patidar has chipped in twice already, and Salt should enjoy the surface at the Wankhede—expect him to go hard from the start and get a quickfire 25-30 runs.  Kohli loves playing here too, averaging over 40 with five fifties at a strike rate of 136. After a couple of quiet outings, he’ll be keen to make it count. Liam Livingstone, who hadn’t done much in the first two games, found his rhythm with a 54 off 40 against GT—the highest score for RCB that day. Further down, Jitesh Sharma and Tim David are reliable for late-over firepower. David was especially impressive in the last match, hammering 32* off just 18 and proving he can do real damage. Weather Conditions The Wankhede track is generally flat and run-friendly. Still, expect some movement for pacers under lights, especially in the opening overs with the new ball. Once batters weather this challenging start, run-scoring becomes much easier. Spin bowlers typically find little assistance here with minimal turn available. The pitch should be hard and firm, making life difficult for slower bowlers. Expect extremely sticky and warm conditions in Mumbai, though rain won’t be a factor during the match. MI vs RCB Pitch Report The Wankhede Stadium usually sees first-innings scores averaging 170. RCB holds the IPL record here with 235-1 against MI in 2015. Last season alone, four matches produced totals exceeding 200, including Mumbai Indians’ massive 234-5 versus Delhi Capitals. Considering how runs flow at this stadium, both teams will likely aim for 190-200 to feel comfortable about their chances. Toss: To Bowl The numbers favor chasing at Wankhede Stadium, with teams batting second winning 65 T20 matches compared to 54 victories for teams setting targets. This trend comes from a total of 119 T20 games played at the venue.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Titans, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​​​​ Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Titans ​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 06, Sunday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad, India​𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 Sunrisers Hyderabad’s must-win game after three losses Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Titans 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. SRH vs GT Match Prediction & Analysis The competition is in full steam in the Indian Premier League 2025. The Sunrisers Hyderabad will be under pressure as they take on the Gujarat Titans in the 19th match. The Sunrisers lost to the Kolkata Knight Riders in the last game and are looking to find their form back. The Gu-jarat Titans defeated the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and the team is looking to build on the momentum.  The Sunrisers Hyderabad have lost the last three games, but the team has a strong batting lineup. Their batting lineup is strong, and the team will look to make full use of it in this game. The Gujarat Titans have won the last two games, but the side lacks a strong bowling attack. The Sunrisers will play hard in this game, and it will be interesting to see if the Titans can drub the hosts. TEAMS PREVIEW Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview Pat Cummins will be a worried man. His team has suffered three consecutive losses in the tournament. They went down by 80 runs against the Kolkata Knight Riders in the last game. The batting lineup has failed in the last three games, and Cummins needs them to deliver the goods to prevent further derailment. They play at home, and Cummins wants to exploit the conditions.  Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma have failed in the last three games, and the team expects a strong show from them at the start. Ishan Kishan must strike form and add runs in the middle order with Nitish Kumar Reddy and Kamindu Mendis. Heinrich Klaasen adds X-factor to the batting lineup in the lower middle order and shall look to do well with Aniket Verma and Pat Cummins.  Mohammed Shami and Pat Cummins haven’t been at their best at the top, and the team needs them to make early breakthroughs and put the team in a commanding position. Zee-shan Ansari and Kamindu Mendis must put brakes on the scoring rate in the middle overs. The team will expect a good show in the supporting role from Simarjeet Singh and Harshal Patel.  Gujarat Titans Preview Shubman Gill and his men will be confident heading into this game. It was a convincing win for the team in the last game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The batting lineup will be confident after their 8-wicket win. Gill knows the strengths of his opposition and wants his players to play positively and aggressively in this game.  Sai Sudharsan is in good form and will look to build a big partnership with Shubman Gill. Jos Buttler played a match-winning knock in the last game, and he must build partnerships with Sherfane Rutherford and Shahrukh Khan in the middle order. Rahul Tewatia, Arshad Khan, and Rashid Khan will look to add quick runs in the final overs.  Kagiso Rabada’s sudden exit has hurt the balance of this bowling attack. Mohammad Siraj and Mohammad Arshad Khan must get the early breakthroughs to put the team in a strong position. Prasidh Krishna did well in the last game and must bowl well with Ishant Sharma in the middle overs. Rashid Khan’s lack of form is a big concern, and he must do well with Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore. Weather Conditions The skies over Hyderabad will be clear. The wicket has been flat here, and we have seen big scores. Batsmen find scoring runs on this surface easy, while it has been equally punishing on the bowlers. The side batting first would be happy to score 230 runs with the average first in-nings score in the last two seasons being 204. SRH vs GT Pitch Report Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, has an excellent batting surface. Batsmen have done, and they can play their strokes at this venue. There isn’t much on this track for the fast bowlers, and they must bend their backs to do well. Spinners have enjoyed the conditions and have been successful here.  Toss: To Bat It is the best batting surface in the IPL, allowing batsmen to play without fear. Big scores have been the norm at this venue. Sides find it tough to chase a big score as the wicket assists the spinners in the second half. The side winning the toss would look to bat first.

New Zealand vs Pakistan, PAK vs NZ 2025, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​​​​New Zealand vs Pakistan ​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 05, Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 03:30 AM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, New Zealand 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd ODI 2025 Pakistan’s tour of New Zealand comes to an end with the ODI series already out of reach! Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals 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 PAK Match Prediction & Analysis This has been a one-sided tour and a one-sided series and it could well be that the thoughts within the Pakistan squad are something along the lines of “when can we get back home?” One can only imagine what the scoreline in this series could have been if the Indian Premier League was not underway and other key players for New Zealand were available. Even when playing nowhere near their potential at times, the Black Caps have been able to sweep Pakistan aside many times across the last few weeks. It was an 84 run victory for the Black Caps in Hamilton last time out but it could have been even more embarrassing for Pakistan if Naseem Shah, who came into the game as a concussion sub, hit 51, the second highest ODI score from a number 11 in history! TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview The last game in Hamilton was a special one for keeper-batter Mitchell Hay with the 24 year old hitting his highest score in ODI cricket but finishing unbeaten and one run short of a century! It was a crucial knock as New Zealand had looked in a spot of bother on 132/5 but once again they proved that they have more than capable batters throughout their order and were able to post a total which Pakistan never looked getting remotely near. The Black Caps still have the likes of Henry Nicholls and Daryl Mitchell in the upper middle order and we expect one of them to go big in this match. Pakistan Preview Although Pakistan’s bowling attack produced some encouraging moments and figures in the second ODI, their top order completely let the side down and the experienced names in the batting line-up must stand up and be counted or else the tourists will be returning home with a 3-0 ODI series defeat. All of Abdullah Shafique, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Agha failed to get out of single figures with Agha’s strike-rate of 60.00 the only one above 33.33! It will take a huge improvement to get this team firing again in this match and it will have to come from one of these five experienced players. With the ball, Haris Rauf is likely to miss out due to concussion with Faheem Ashraf and Akif Javed expected to take on the attack leader mantle with the new ball. Weather Conditions There is a large amount of rain forecast in Mount Maunganui during Friday but the outlook for Saturday is for sunny spells throughout and the temperature in the mid-twenties. NZ vs PAK Pitch Report Like many of the other ground used in this series and tour, there will be assistance for the quick bowlers. When batting, players will need to get in and acclimatise to the conditions but must keep the scoreboard ticking along or else they will get stuck! A par score will be around 320-330 in the first innings. Toss: To Bowl Each of the last three ODIs at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui have been won by the team chasing so we predict that both teams will look to bowl first in this contest.

Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 Delhi Capitals’ Chepauk test after back-to-back wins Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals 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. CSK vs DC Match Prediction & Analysis We have had exciting games in the first quarter of games in the Indian Premier League 2025, and the points table is slowly taking shape. Hosts Chennai Super Kings will face the heat as they take on the Delhi Capitals in the 17th game. In the last game, the Super Kings went down against the Rajasthan Royals and must win here to find their momentum. Delhi Capitals have done well, and the team enters this game with a victory against the Sunrisers Hyderabad.  The Chennai Super Kings have a good record against Delhi Capitals, and the team has won four out of the last five games between the two teams. Their record at Chennai against the Capitals is even more impressive. The Capitals won’t be a pushover, as they have won both games. It will be interesting to see if the Capitals can overcome their poor record at the Chepauk. TEAMS PREVIEW Chennai Super Kings Preview Things have got tough for Ruturaj Gaikwad’s side. They started the season with a win but have suffered back-to-back losses heading into this contest. The team went down by 6 runs in the last game against the Rajasthan Royals, making a mess of the chase in the final overs. Gaikwad must lift spirits in the camp and win this game to regain their momentum and keep hopes alive.  Rachin Ravindra and Rahul Tripathi must deliver a good start in the game, as the lack of runs at the top has been one of their major worries this season. Ruturaj Gaikwad is the mainstay in the middle order, and he must do well with Shivam Dube and Vijay Shankar. Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni, and Jamie Overton are good hitters, and the team expects a strong show in the final overs.  The bowling attack has struggled in the last two games and must execute its plans thoroughly in this game. The team expects early wickets from Khaleel Ahmed and Jamie Overton, as the Delhi Capitals have good hitters. Ravichandran Ashwin and Jadeja will find help from the surface and must do well in the middle overs. Matheesha Pathirana and Noor Ahmed look forward to excelling in the supporting role. Delhi Capitals Preview Axar Patel has made a strong start as the team’s new skipper. The team has won both games and comes here with a 7-wicket win against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Patel would like his players to continue with the winning streak. However, they have struggled against CSK in the earlier seasons, and the Delhi Capitals’ skipper wants his team to overcome that poor record.  Jake Fraser-McGurk and Faf du Plessis will be confident after their good start in the last game. The pair must lay a strong platform at the top. The middle order has looked good, and the team expects Abishek Porel, KL Rahul, and Karun Nair to build partnerships. With their hitting abilities, Tristan Stubbs and Axar Patel complete a strong batting lineup for the team.  Mitchell Starc bowled a match-winning spell in the last game, and he will look to strike early along with Mukesh Kumar and put the Super Kings under pressure. Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav form a strong spin attack for the team, and their performance will be crucial. Mohit Sharma and Vipraj Nigam add variety to this bowling attack.  Weather Conditions The skies over Chennai will be clear, and we expect a good game. The wicket will play well at the start, but it will be on the slower side, where the ball isn’t going to hit the bat hard. A score of 180 runs or above will be a good one with the average first innings score around 150 runs.  CSK vs DC Pitch Report MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, is a good venue as it aids both the bowlers and the batsmen, a rarity on Indian surfaces. Batsmen must play to the ball’s merit, as fast bowlers get some early assistance from the surface. The track is slow, and spinners have always enjoyed bowling on this surface. Toss: To Bat As we saw in the last game, the wicket at Chennai is known for being a difficult surface to chase a score. The wicket tends to slow down as the game progresses. The side that wins the toss would aim to put up a good score on the board and defend it successfully.

Punjab Kings have had an impressive start to their IPL 2025 campaign, securing two consecutive victories. In their opening match on March 25, 2025, against the Gujarat Titans, they clinched the win by 11 runs after posting a formidable total of 243/5. Building on this momentum, PBKS beat LSG by 8 wickets in the second game with Prabhsimran Singh and Shreyas Iyer scoring half-centuries. TEAMS PREVIEW Punjab Kings Preview Priyansh Arya will open the innings with Prabhasimran Singh. Arya played a knock of 47 runs off 23 deliveries against Gujarat Titans while Singh scored a half-century (69 off 34) in the second game. PBKS’ skipper Shreyas Iyer will be the batter to watch out for. Iyer has scored two unbeaten half-centuries (97* & 52*) in the first two games, hitting 13 sixes. Nehal Wadhera will come at number four after his 43* runs off 25 balls in the last game. Shashank Singh will come in the middle with all-rounders Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis. Singh scored 44 off 16 balls in the second game. Maxwell is yet to score a run with the bat for Punjab but has picked up two wickets with the ball. On the other hand, Stoinis has 20 runs with the bat. He has been expensive with the ball. Arshdeep Singh will lead the bowling attack with Lockie Ferguson and Marco Jenson. Singh will be the bowler to watch out for. He has picked up 5 wickets in the two games. His economy is just below 10. Jansen has two wickets while Ferguson has one in one game. The PBKS bowlers are yet to show their strength. Chahal will be the lead spinner in the bowling attack. Rajasthan Royals Preview Rajasthan Royals’ batting line-up has had a mixed start to IPL 2025, with a few players stepping up while others are still looking for form. Leading from the front, skipper Sanju Samson has been the most consistent performer so far. Across the three matches, he has scored 108 runs, including a fluent 66 against Sunrisers Hyderabad. In the past, Sanju Samson has dominated Arshdeep Singh, scoring 39 runs off 22 balls at a blazing strike rate of 177.27 without being dismissed, smashing 4 fours and 2 sixes. Another bright spot has been Dhruv Jurel, who impressed with a blistering 70-run knock against SRH. Jurel has accumulated 91 runs in three games and looks promising as a finisher who can change games single-handedly. Nitish Rana has made an immediate impact since joining the playing XI in the second match. He played a match-winning innings of 81 off just 36 balls against Chennai Super Kings, helping RR secure their first victory of the season. Wanindu Hasaranga will lead the bowling attack with Jofra Archer, Tushar Deshpande, and Maheesha Theeksana. Hasaranga has 5 wickets in two games. He picked up four wickets in the last game. He will be the bowler to watch out for. Deshpande picked up three wickets in the first game but remained wicketless in the next two games. Despite showing resilience against CSK, Rajasthan’s bowlers have overall struggled with consistency, particularly at the death, where they have leaked crucial runs. Weather Conditions The weather at Mullanpur, Chandigarh, is expected to be sunny on match day, with temperatures ranging between 19 and 37 degrees Celsius. Winds will blow from the southeast at 8-14 km/h. Rain is expected with the lightning.  It is a batting-friendly pitch.

Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​​ Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 04, Friday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 Lucknow Super Giants have dominated Mumbai Indians in the IPL, losing just one game to them out of six encounters. Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad 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. LSG vs MI Match Prediction & Analysis The 16th match of IPL 2025 will see Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Mumbai Indians (MI) battle it out on Thursday in Lucknow. Neither team has been at their best so far, with just one win in three games. LSG endured a rough loss in their last home fixture, which could have shaken them a bit. MI, on the other hand, finally picked up their first victory and will be looking to build on that by pushing LSG to the limit. TEAMS PREVIEW Lucknow Super Giants Preview After a dominant win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their second match, Lucknow Super Giants seemed to have found their rhythm. But their momentum took a hit when Punjab Kings handed them a crushing eight-wicket defeat at home, dropping them to sixth in the standings. Batting first on a good surface at Ekana, LSG could only manage 171-7, a total that Punjab chased with ease in just 16.2 overs. The loss exposed some gaps in their squad, particularly in the batting lineup. Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran have been carrying most of the burden, and when one of them fails, the rest of the unit struggles to step up. This was evident in the previous game, where Pooran couldn’t deliver, and LSG paid the price. Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians finally got their first win of the season after back-to-back losses, delivering a commanding performance against Kolkata Knight Riders at home. Their bowlers set the tone early, rolling KKR out for just 117 on a batting-friendly Wankhede track. The chase was a walk in the park, with MI getting the job done in just 12.5 overs. Ryan Rickelton led the charge with a flawless 62* off 41, while Suryakumar Yadav chipped in with a blistering 27 off just 9. Surya has now racked up 104 runs in three games at a rapid strike rate of 165. Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya bring balance to the middle order and can shift gears when needed. There’s also Naman Dhir, along with all-rounders Mitchell Santner and Deepak Chahar, who give MI added batting depth. Weather Conditions The surface at Ekana Cricket Stadium won’t be the kind where batters can go all out from the start, but it should still offer plenty of scoring opportunities. As the game progresses, the pitch tends to lose some pace, making spin a bigger factor in the middle overs. Batting usually gets smoother in the second innings, thanks to the dew that helps the ball come onto the bat better.  Lucknow’s weather will be warm and humid, but with no rain expected, there shouldn’t be any interruptions to the game. LSG vs MI Pitch Report Ekana Cricket Stadium typically sees first innings scores around 166. During last season’s IPL, Kolkata Knight Riders set the highest total at this ground with 235-6 against Lucknow Super Giants, cruising to a 98-run victory. Interestingly, that remained the only 200+ score in 14 innings throughout IPL 2024. Judging by the opening match at Ekana in IPL 2025, teams will want to aim for 190-200 runs to feel comfortable defending their total. Toss: To Bowl Chasing will be the better option at the Ekana Cricket Stadium as batting becomes easier in the second innings when dew sets in. This is exactly what happened in the last game played here as Punjab Kings chased down a target of 172 in just 16.2 overs against LSG.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​​ Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad ​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 03, Thursday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Eden Gardens, Kolkata, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 Kolkata Knight Riders have been unbeaten against Sunrisers Hyderabad over the last four encounters. Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad 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. KKR vs SRH Match Prediction & Analysis Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will face off in the 15th match of IPL 2025 this Thursday in Kolkata, with both teams struggling to find form. Last season’s finalists have had a rough start, each securing just one win from three games and sitting in the lower half of the standings. KKR will look to turn things around at home, while SRH will rely on their powerful batting lineup to step up after back-to-back disappointing performances. TEAMS PREVIEW Kolkata Knight Riders Preview Kolkata Knight Riders have struggled to string together good performances this season. They suffered two heavy defeats but managed a win against a Rajasthan Royals side that has been far from convincing. Their most recent outing saw them crumble against Mumbai Indians, losing by eight wickets at Wankhede. Batting first, they collapsed for just 117 on a pitch that had plenty to offer. Mumbai made light work of the chase, wrapping things up in only 12.5 overs. Such a heavy defeat is bound to leave the team rattled, and bouncing back won’t be easy. Their biggest concern is their shaky batting lineup. If Quinton de Kock departs early, the rest of the order doesn’t inspire much confidence. Sunil Narine is yet to settle into his opening role, while Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, and Andre Russell have struggled for form. Angkrish Raghuvanshi has shown promise, but his quickfire knocks need to translate into bigger scores, especially with others failing to deliver. Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview Sunrisers Hyderabad made a fiery start to the season, smashing their way past opponents with fearless batting. But that same aggressive mindset has cost them in back-to-back losses, where their much-hyped lineup fell short. This team is a double-edged sword—one day, they’ll blast their way to 240+, and the next, they’ll collapse under their own attacking intent.  Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma hold the key to SRH’s chances. A strong powerplay start from the two is essential for the team’s chances, and while Abhishek has been out of form in the last three games, he’s too talented to keep failing. He’s due for a solid knock, and we’re backing him to put up at least 30 runs here at a 200+ strike rate. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen could also be game-changers on this wicket. Both take a few deliveries to get in, but can shift gears quickly once set. Another big positive for SRH has been Aniket Verma. His quickfire 36 (13) and 74 (41) in the last two matches show he’s turning into a lethal lower-order finisher. On the bowling side, Mohammed Shami and Pat Cummins need to step up and find their rhythm early. They haven’t been as effective as expected, leaking runs at crucial moments. Adam Zampa, who is usually dependable, has struggled with his lengths. However, young leg-spinner Zeeshan Ansari impressed in the last game and could be an x-factor on the Eden Gardens surface. Weather Conditions The pitch at the Eden Gardens has been a subject of much debate over the last few days. In the season opener, we got see a really good batting wicket here with something in it for the bowlers as well. KKR, however, are miffed at the curators for not creating a slow pitch that assists their spinners. We might get to see a slower Eden pitch this time given the pressure the groundstaff are under. A belter will play into SRH’s hands. The weather in Kolkata will be slightly warm but cool in the evening. Eden Gardens typically sees an average first-innings score of 167, but last season the venue witnessed eight totals crossing the 200-run mark, showing a shift towards higher-scoring games. The pitch is likely to remain favorable for batters this time around with some help for the pacers and spinners. However, with the ground’s shorter boundaries, teams batting first will aim for a target in the range of 190-200 runs. Toss: To Bowl Chasing is usually the preferred option at Eden Gardens as we saw in the first game how RCB comfortably chased down a target of 175 in 16.2 overs against KKR.
