He is our tip for England’s top wicket taker against Pakistan.Babar Azam has hit 31 international centuries with three coming in this format. The captain is our pick for Pakistan’s highest run scorer against England. Shaheen Shah Afridi took three wicket hauls in the last two T20Is and he is a strong choice for Pakistan’s top wicket taker in this game.Needing only 73 runs to bring up 3000 T20I runs, we suggest backing Jos Buttler to hit the most boundaries in this game.

England vs Pakistan 2nd T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips After the opening game of the four match T20I series was washed out and abandoned without a toss in Headingley, Leeds on Wednesday, England and Pakistan will try again on Saturday afternoon at Edgbaston, Birmingham. Read on as we preview this second match of the series which is designed to provide preparation for the T20 World Cup. The fixture gets underway at 14:30 local time on May 25th. With Wednesday’s match guaranteed to be called off from breakfast onwards, England’s players will have enjoyed a rest day but time is fast running out for enough match practice ahead of the T20 World Cup. Cheered on by patriotic and noisy supporters at Edgbaston, we expect England to win. Pakistan should be slightly more ‘game-ready’ after their three match series in Ireland and the side progressed and improved across those games. This will be a tough contest but we do predict that Pakistan will be competitive at Edgbaston. England vs Pakistan Match Toss PredictionThis will be the eighth T20I at Edgbaston and all of the previous seven have been won by the team batting first. Therefore, we predict that both the skippers will choose to bat if they call correctly at the toss.

There will be pace in the pitch but also some turn for the spin bowlers. Birmingham Weather ReportAfter the disappointment of the non-stop rain in Leeds on Wednesday, more downpours and heavy cloud cover are forecast at Edgbaston on Saturday. The temperature should get up to 18 degrees and we expect the game to be able to be played in full.

West Indies beat South Africa in first T20I at Sabina Park to draw first blood in three-match contest – India TV

Danijones6 months ago04 mins

Image Source : CRICKET SOUTH AFRICA Brandon King and Rassie van der Dussen with the series trophy. West Indies registered a 28-run victory over South Africa in the first of the three-match T20I series at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica on Friday (May 24). Stand-in captain Brandon King looked in sensational touch in the T20I series opener after the South African skipper for the series Rassie van der Dussen won the toss and chose to field first. King, who won the Player of the Match, took the depleted South African bowling attack to task and stamped his authority at Sabina Park, hosting its first international game in almost 24 months. King lost his opening partner Johnson Charles on the fourth delivery of the fourth over. However, it didn’t restrain him in any way as he made full use of the powerplay restrictions early on. King’s swashbuckling knock of 79 off 45 balls helped the Windies put the pressure back on the tourists. The West Indian skipper struck six fours and as many boundaries during his knock and batted at an impressive strike rate of 175.55. King’s departure on the last ball of the 11th over helped the Proteas claw their way back into the contest as they didn’t allow any other West Indian batter to break the shackles at any stage of the game. Ottneil Baartman (3/26) and allrounder Andile Phehlukwayo (3/28) exercised plenty of discipline with the ball in hand and kept West Indies limited to 175 for the loss of eight wickets. The chase didn’t quite go South Africa’s way and they were behind the eight ball from the beginning. They lost Quinton de Kock, Ryan Rickleton and Matthew Breetzke in quick succession and were tottering at 35/3 inside the powerplay. Unfazed by the wickets tumbling at the other end, Reeza Hendricks kept playing his strokes and gave King plenty of headaches in the field. Hendricks smashed six fours and as many maximums on his way to 87 off 51 balls and fell on the fourth delivery of the 20th over. Left-arm orthodox bowler Gudakesh Motie was the stand-out bowler for the Men in Maroon as he bagged figures of 3/25. Pacer Matthew Forde also claimed a three-wicket haul and delighted the home crowd.

Trent Boult Embracing Indian Culture As Rajasthan Royals Look To End IPL Title Drought

Danijones6 months ago03 mins

Rajasthan Royals pacer Trent Boult is a superstar, a central figure in the franchise’s team for the IPL 2024 season. In India for the 17th edition of the campaign, Boult isn’t just enjoying delivering the good for the Royals on the field but is also embracing Indian culture. Not long after reaching India, Boult celebrated Holi. “My first time I celebrated Holi and I’m still getting the pink dye off my hair and off my face but yeah, amazing experience. Always fun to experience the culture in India,” Boult had said at the start of the IPL season. An out-and-out performer, the Kiwi pacer also give insights into his surname which indeed has a cricketing connection. “I, well my parents chose my name and I chose my career so I’m lucky to have a name like Boult when it comes to bowling. It’s always a funny pun when Lightning Boult comes out.” On the pitch, Boult impressed yet again as Rajasthan restricted Bengaluru to 172-8, a total they overhauled with six balls to spare in the do-or-die play-off at the world’s biggest cricket stadium on Wednesday. Bengaluru and Virat Kohli extend their wait for a first IPL title. Rajasthan will face Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last play-off on Friday in Chennai to decide Kolkata Knight Riders’ opponent in the final on May 26. Kolkata made their fourth IPL final after they hammered Hyderabad in the first play-off on Tuesday in Ahmedabad’s intense heat. Rajasthan, who won the inaugural edition of the IPL in 2008 under late Australian legend Shane Warne, bounced back from four losses in five matches including a washout. Bengaluru’s dream run ended after they rose from the bottom of the table after eight matches to win six in a row and make the play-offs. With AFP inputs Topics mentioned in this article

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 24, 2024𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 IST / 14:00 GMT𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : MA Chidambaram Stadium – Chennai, India𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : IPL 2024 Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals Betting Tips Travis Head has been dismissed for ducks in the last two games but everyone is aware of his match winning abilities in must win games. Head, who has scored over 500 runs, could be backed as SRH top batter. T Natarajan will be handy on the Chepauk surface where there will be some grip and Natarajan can seriously trouble the batters with his variations. He can be backed as SRH top bowler.Riyan Parag has been outstanding for Rajasthan Royals. There has hardly been a game where he has not played an important knock for the side. He is nearing the 600 run mark in IPL 2024 and would be keen to have another good outing. He can be backed as RR top batter. Spinners could be handy on the Chepauk surface thus Yuzvendra Chahal is our pick for top bowler.The pitch won’t be the easiest to bat and batters could struggle to post massive scores. We feel total runs in the match could be less than 383.5. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals 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. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Qualifier IPL 2024 SRH will take on RR in the Qualifier 2 of the IPL 2024. The game will be played at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai and will start at 7:30 PM IST on May 24. SRH were blown away by KKR in the Qualifier 1 however the fact that they finished second on the points table gave them another opportunity to qualify for the final. SRH played outstanding cricket throughout the tournament, posting some massive scores en route to the playoffs, but all their defeats followed a particular pattern where their batters failed to put enough runs on the board. This is the biggest concern for SRH heading into the Qualifier 2. It is a must-win game and the team can’t afford to endure another poor outing with the bat. Meanwhile, RR picked up a comprehensive win over RCB in the Eliminator to qualify for the second knockout game. Chasing a target of 172, the team cruised to a win by 4 wickets. RR will be pleased with the effort of the bowlers, however, they will be delighted to see Yashasvi Jaiswal score some runs in the Eliminator. Jaiswal, one of the key batters of the side, has been in poor form but scored a brisk 45 in the last game. Overall, both teams are evenly matched and the game is set up for a cracking affair. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals Match Toss PredictionChasing has been the way to go in Chennai and there are great odds that the captain winning the toss will bowl first. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals Pitch ReportThe surface at the Chepauk Stadium will be on the slower side. There will be some grip and turn as well and conditions won’t be the easiest to bat. A score of 180 should be a par score here. Chennai Weather ReportThe weather is expected to be clear, however, the IMD has issued a warning of light rain in next 48 hours. If the match gets interrupted due to rain, there is a reserve day in place.

“Don’t Say A Word To Virat Kohli”: AB de Villiers’ Retort Amid Sunil Gavaskar’s Criticism

Danijones6 months ago05 mins

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) stalwart Virat Kohli was at the center of heavy criticism over his performances in the first half of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 campaign. As RCB lost 7 of their first 8 games of the tournament, Kohli was one of the players blamed for the team’s poor run, with his strike-rate becoming a constant talking point. Even the great Sunil Gavaskar lashed out at Virat for his lack of intent, prompting a reply from the RCB star too. Now, AB de Villiers has also joined the debate, saying it wasn’t pleasing for him to see Virat in the line of fire. De Villiers, in a chat on Jio Cinema, even recalled his own experience of playing against Kohli, saying his message to teammates would be “do not say anything to Virat” as criticism seems to get the best out of him. “I thought it was… really bad for someone like that for a hero and a role model of the country to get so much criticism around that. But the way I know him, I just knew and that’s exactly what I mentioned on my show. I said, guys, you have no idea what happens to this guy when he catches criticism. The many years I’ve played against him, I used to tell the players in the team room, you do not say one word to Virat on the pitch because he will come out and he will score a big 100 if you try and chirp him,” De Villiers was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times. “Maybe it was a blessing in disguise, getting a bit of criticism, because stuff like that motivates him so much,” he added. Speaking of Virat’s role at the T20 World Cup, De Villiers even went against the popular suggestion, saying the marquee batter shouldn’t open the innings alongside Rohit Sharma, and continue occupying the No. 3 spot. “I feel he’s a number three batsman and that’s where he’s most impactful. He’s almost like the captain of the batting team everywhere he goes. He keeps the calmness and the composure within the batting unit,” the former South Africa captain said. “I know Virat himself really enjoys opening, which is great. You’ve got to respect that from a man who’s played the game for many years. He understands his game really well and he understands what he wants out of the game as well. “But if I was playing a TV game, Xbox, he would come in at number three in my team. I feel there’s too much risk in those first couple of overs to go and ask Virat to take the game on, to hit the ball in the air. All I want him to do is to bat between overs 4 and 16-17, somewhere there. “I feel that’s where he’s best in the world by a country mile and that’s where he’s most impactful,” he asserted.
