    𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Australia vs Pakistan 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 08, Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 09:00 AM IST​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Adelaide Oval, North Adelaide, Australia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 2nd ODI 2024 Can Australia win in Adelaide and take an unassailable lead in the series? Can Pakistan draw level? Australia 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. AUS vs PAK Match Prediction & Analysis Australia take on Pakistan at the scenic setting in Adelaide Oval on Friday in what will be a key contest for the tourists. Despite coming close to pulling off a heist in the first game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Pakistan need to regroup quickly and focus all their efforts into stopping a second-string Aussie side. The MCG victory was Australia’s second straight victory against the Asian side, and the hosts will be keen on wrapping up the series with several test stars all set to leave for their prep camp for the Border Gavaskar trophy. TEAMS PREVIEW Australia Preview Australia huffed and puffed their way to a difficult, tense victory, courtesy captain Pat Cummins’ brave knock in the end. Pakistani pace bowlers hit their stride in the middle of their bowling innings, consistently targeting the right line and length on a typical MCG wicket to leave the Aussie batters scrambling. The Aussie bowlers had made good use of the conditions to trouble the visitors batting unit, restricting them to a total just a shade over 200. Pakistan Preview The visitors were clearly found out by the Aussie pacers, and barring a couple of good innings from Babar Azam, no other Pakistani batter could bat with surety. The pace at which they went about scoring runs was definitely a concern, and they can’t afford to do that against an Aussie side which has got some hard-hitting batsmen in their ranks. Weather Conditions Adelaide has been one of the best pitches in Australia for batting, but run scoring has been a touch difficult of late in the Sheffield Shield. The short square boundaries will make batters rejoice, especially if the conditions are as flat as it gets here. Weather forecast indicates some shower in the morning, but it should clear up with sunny conditions expected to return for most of the afternoon. Play to remain unaffected. AUS vs PAK Pitch Report The match will take place at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide. Australia enjoy taking on oppositions at this ground, where they have won 7 and lost 3 in the last 10 games. Toss: To Bowl Toss doesn’t play a decisive role in determining the outcome of the match, but teams, especially the hosts, have had a lot of success chasing down a target. We reckon both captains would want to bowl first upon winning toss.

    Caught On Stump Mic, Virat Kohli's Epic Reply To Wriddhiman Saha's "Runs Roko, Match Kheecho" Plea

    Caught On Stump Mic, Virat Kohli’s Epic Reply To Wriddhiman Saha’s “Runs Roko, Match Kheecho” Plea

    Every single time a conversation between a wicket-keeper and a player on the field takes place, its glimpses get caught on the stump mic. As Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) took on the Gujarat Titans (GT) in an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match on Saturday, an epic chat between Virat Kohli and Wriddhiman Saha was caught on the stump mic. With not a big total to defend on the board, Saha urged his teammates to do their best in stopping the flow of runs. But, Kohli had an epic response up his sleeves. The chat took place when RCB were 2 down for 100, and their flow of runs had come down due to quick dismissals in the middle. Hoping to get the momentum shifted in his team’s favour, Saha said: “Runs roko, match kheecho (stop the runs, extend the match)”. Hearing this, Virat said: “Aise kaise kheech loge [(I’ll see) how you will stretch the match]”. Though the Titans made a brave comeback in the match, picking up a total of 6 wickets to all but derail the Royal Challengers’ chase. But, Dinesh Karthik ensured that his team got over the line despite the hiccup. As for the game, Mohammed Siraj turned into a match-winner for RCB with his 2 early wickets of Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill. After the game, Siraj also earned the praise of Royal Challengers Bengaluru assistant coach Adam Griffith for his exemplary show. “The start of the tournament was not that great, especially in the powerplay. That is something we really focused on. Recently we made sure that we really worked hard to get better starts for the group. Tonight, it was one of the better ones and it was good to see the hard work come off,” Griffith said in the post-match press conference. The 46-year-old further lauded Siraj, calling him the leader of the group. “Siraj is the leader of our group. He is our most experienced bowler especially among the Indian quicks and with our international guys as well. Having him up and running and bowling well, but not only that, it’s his body language, his aggression, him trying to get wickets, he is such an important part of what he do,” RCB assistant coach asserted.

    Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Says Strategy In Place For T20 World Cup, Urges Fans To Fully Back Team

    Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Says Strategy In Place For T20 World Cup, Urges Fans To Fully Back Team

    Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi has said that the team has a strategy in place for the T20 World Cup and appealed to supports and fans to back the team irrespective of whether it wins or loses matches. With two days left before the commencement of the tournament in the USA and the West Indies, Pakistan are gearing up for the marquee event. They are currently touring England for a four-match T20I series. Ahead of the 4th T20I to be played in London on Thursday, Naqvi made an appeal to the fans to support the team through the tournament. “Support the team and assure them that we [the fans] are with you [the team] whether you win or lose. I just want to request one thing which we really need for the next four weeks. Let us all support our players,” the PCB chairman told the media in London, according to Geo News. The first and the third T20I matches of the ongoing series were washed away due to rain without a ball being bowled. In the second T20I England took a 1-0 lead with skipper Jos Buttler’s 84-run blitz playing a pivotal role. Pakistan have tweaked their team combination during their series against Ireland and England. Unlike other teams, who have opted to bring in more spinners, Pakistan decided to name a pace-laden 15-player squad for the tournament. With the combination undergoing constant changes, Naqvi was asked about Pakistan’s combination for the World Cup. He affirmed that a strategy is in place and the players need to give their best on the field. “Overall, a strategy is in place that they don’t have to panic and give their best [on the field],” Naqvi noted. Pakistan are placed in Group A and will play their first match against the co-hosts USA on June 6 at the Grand Prairie Stadium, Texas. Pakistan Squad for T20 World Cup: Babar Azam (c), Abrar Ahmed, Azam Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Rizwan, Naseem Shah, Saim Ayub, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Usman Khan.

    Adelaide Strikers Women vs Perth Scorchers Women, WT20SC, Today Match Prediction

    𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Adelaide Strikers vs Perth Scorchers Women’s𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 11, Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 09:30 AM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Karen Rolton Oval, Adelaide, Australia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ T20 Spring Challenge, 2024 Inaugural T20 Spring Challenge kicks off! Adelaide Strikers vs Perth Scorchers Women’s 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. AS-W vs PS-W Match Prediction & Analysis T20 Spring Challenge is a new women’s domestic tournament in Australia where the WBBL teams will compete for the title. The 2024 season of WBBL has been shortened to just 43 matches. TEAMS PREVIEW Adelaide Strikers Preview Adelaide Strikers will begin their T20 Spring Challenge campaign against Perth Scorchers at home. The Strikers won the WBBL 2023 title under Tahlia McGrath whose all-round performance in the Final helped Strikers defend 125 runs. Perth Scorchers Preview Perth Scorchers were knocked out in the Eliminator in WBBL 2023. They will be eager to start this tournament on a winning note after dominating the previous Big Bash season. It is a great opportunity for all teams to find new rising stars ahead of the 2024 WBBL season. The Scorchers will be missing many of the key players who were part of the initial squad for the T20 Spring Challenge. Weather Conditions There will be cloudy skies in Adelaide with a high of 19 degrees Celsius on the matchday. We don’t expect any rain during or before the game and there should be an uninterrupted T20 match at the Karen Rolton Oval. AS-W vs PS-W Pitch Report It is a balanced pitch with the bowlers having a slight edge. It is the spinners who will be crucial in the bowling department. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 matches is 142 runs. However, anything around 150-160 has been chased down quite comfortably at the Karen Rolton Oval. We reckon a 170+ score will be a match-winning total. Toss: To Bowl Teams bowling first have won 6 of the last 10 matches played at this venue. The spinners have enjoyed great success at this venue. Bowling first will have a slight advantage in this match as the bowling team will have enough time to get an idea of the pitch and their batting combinations.

    IPL-17: PBKS vs GT | After the Sai Kishore show, Tewatia takes Titans home

    Gujarat Titans bowler Sai Kishore celebrates after taking a wicket during the Indian Premier League 2024 match against Punjab Kings in Mullanpur on April 21, 2024. | Photo Credit: R.V. Moorthy In the battle of shaky top orders, Rahul Tewatia’s rearguard action took Gujarat Titans over the line by three wickets against Punjab Kings at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium here on Sunday. Though a 143-run target was just what the under-fire Titans batting line-up would have wished for, poor shot selection helped Punjab claw back and give the Shubman Gill-led side a scare. At the 16-over mark, the visitor still needed 38 runs to win with the last recognised batting pair, Tewatia and Shahrukh Khan, at the crease. The former survived a close lbw shout in the following over, attempting a perilous reverse-sweep off Harpreet Brar. He backed himself and reprised the shot two deliveries later, fetching a boundary on this occasion. That opened the floodgates as 27 runs came off the next nine balls, with Kagiso Rabada’s over, 18th of the innings, going for 20 runs. Though Harshal Patel gave the crowd some cheer with two wickets in the 19th over with a yorker and a full toss, it wasn’t enough for Punjab to avoid its fourth consecutive defeat at home. Earlier, it was a familiar script for Punjab as Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma stood at the burning deck, with their team floundering at 86 for five. Unfortunately for the host, there was no redemption this time as both batters were back in the dugout in a span of three overs, deceived in flight by left-arm spinner R. Sai Kishore. With the innings tottering at 99 for seven, it fell upon Impact Player Harpreet Singh Bhatia and No. 9 Harpreet Brar to drag the host to 142. After electing to bat, Punjab’s top order flattered to deceive as Sam Curran and Prabhsimran Singh put on the team’s second 50-run opening partnership of the season but were soon watching the proceedings from the sidelines. Prabhsimran, Rilee Rossouw, Liam Livingstone and Jitesh Sharma succumbed to a rush of blood to the head, leaving their side in early trouble. Sai Kishore, Noor Ahmad and Rashid Khan picked seven wickets between them, transcending seamer-friendly conditions and bamboozling the host in its den. Scoreboard PUNJAB KINGS: Sam Curran lbw b Rashid 20 (19b, 2×4), Prabhsimran Singh c Saha b Mohit 35 (21b, 3×4, 3×6), Rilee Rossouw lbw b Noor 9 (7b, 2×4), Jitesh Sharma b Sai Kishore 13 (12b, 1×6), Liam Livingstone c Tewatia b Noor 6 (9b, 1×4), Shashank Singh c & b Sai Kishore 8 (12b), Ashutosh Sharma c Mohit b Sai Kishore 3 (8b), Harpreet Bhatia (Impact Player in place of Prabhsimran) run out 14 (19b), Harpreet Brar c Shahrukh b Sai Kishore 29 (12b, 4×4, 1×6), Harshal Patel c Shahrukh b Mohit 0 (1b), Kagiso Rabada (not out) 1 (1b); Extras (lb-1, nb-1, w-2): 4; Total (in 20 overs): 142.

    England Overwhelm Pakistan In Final T20I Match Before World Cup Defence

    England Overwhelm Pakistan In Final T20I Match Before World Cup Defence

    Reigning champions England produced a fine all-round display as they beat Pakistan by seven wickets at The Oval on Thursday in their last competitive match before they begin the defence of their Twenty20 World Cup title. England restricted Pakistan to a modest 157 after winning the toss, with leg-spinner Adil Rashid, the player-of-the-match taking 2-27 from his maximum four overs. They then made a rapid start to their chase as Phil Salt (45) and skipper Jos Buttler (39) shared a blistering opening stand of 82 inside seven overs. Harry Brook ended the game with a six off paceman Haris Rauf, the pick of the Pakistan attack with 3-38, as England finished on 158-6 to win with more than three overs to spare. Victory gave England a 2-0 triumph in a four-match T20 series where games at Headingley and Cardiff were both washed out without a ball bowled. “We have worked hard in training and there is a good feeling around the squad,” Buttler told Sky Sports. Buttler was leading England after his wife gave birth to the couple’s third child following his dashing 84 in the hosts’ 23-run win in the second T20 at Edgbaston. “It would have been nice to get two more games in to expose a few guys to different situations,” Buttler added. “But we have really good experience in the group and a lot of guys have been playing in the IPL (Indian Premier League), so we are not short of cricket.” Both England openers launched Naseem Shah for huge sixes before Salt holed out off Rauf for a quickfire 45. Earlier, Pakistan had been well-placed at 59-0 after losing the toss at an overcast Oval. But they slumped to 86-5, the collapse starting when captain Babar Azam was caught at slip for a brisk 36 off fast bowler Jofra Archer. “It went well for five or six overs but then I got out,” said Azam. “The middle order needs to step up.  “We need to sort out those things for the World Cup. We have a few injuries but there are a lot of positives. Our play is good in patches.” Pakistan were also undone by a disciplined England attack, with Rashid telling reporters: “As a unit I thought we bowled exceptionally well. I know they (Pakistan) got off to a great start, but that’s T20 cricket.” Rashid was also enthused by the sight of injury-prone quicks Archer and Mark Wood, who took wickets with sharp bouncers, bowling in tandem.  “Jof and Woody, when you watch them bowl it is exciting,” he said.  “Seeing the ball zip off the pitch, the keeper taking it really high and it’s exciting to have two quality, world-class bowlers in our squad.” England launch their T20 World Cup campaign against Scotland in Barbados on June 4, with 2009 champions Pakistan in action two days later against co-hosts the United States in Dallas.

    West Indies vs South Africa, WI vs SA 2024, Today Match Prediction

    𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : West Indies vs South Africa𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Aug 26, 2024𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 00:30 AM IST​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Brian Lara Cricket Academy, San Fernando, Trinidad and Tobago𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd T20I 2024 Can West Indies go back to back and take a 2-0 unassailable lead in the series? Will we see South Africa lift their game up and fight back? West Indies vs South Africa 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 RSA Match Prediction & Analysis West Indies and South Africa get ready to go against each other in the second T20I. A short turnaround after the first T20I means both teams don’t have much of a window for recovery, but the men in Maroon won’t mind it one bit. They’d be hoping to carry over their attacking game plan from the first game into the second, and put the World Cup runners-up Proteas under the pump. A win in the second lets the Windies take a 2-0 unassailable lead in the three match T20 series. But the visitors, having taken the test match series 1-0, would be disappointed to have started the T20 leg on a losing note. And they’ll come fully prepared to give the hosts a tough challenge and won’t go down without a fight. West Indies have dominated South Africa in the Caribbean, and the Proteas will be looking at the last two T20s as an opportunity to seize back the initiative and prove that they’re a force to be reckoned with in the T20 format. TEAMS PREVIEW West Indies Preview West Indies continued their dominance over South Africa at home with a brilliant win in the first T20I. 22 year old pacer Matthew Forde (3 for 27 off his 4 overs) and former captain Nicholas Pooran ( a swashbuckling 65 off 26 not out) were the stars for the Windies with bat and ball. South Africa Preview South Africa, after rolling through to the finals of the T20 world cup unbeaten a couple of months ago, slipped to their second straight defeat. The new look Proteas side featuring the likes of Ryan Rickleton, Donovan Ferreira, Patrick Kruger, Bjorn Fortuin and 18-year old Kwena Maphaka were no match for the West Indies in imperious form. Weather Conditions The Tarouba wicket showed some signs of life after a number of dull, insipid matches where ball dominated bat completely. Before the first T20I, no team could post over 150 here this year, irrespective of where they batted first or second. But the run aggregate touched 350 at this venue after a long while, and that’s great news for batters. Bowlers can still find a way to extract the slowness of the wicket and tame the batters, but they need to be disciplined and should not try too much. There were some doubts around the first T20 happening, but Weather gods were kind enough to allows us a complete game of cricket. The weather is expected to play hide and seek again, with some morning showers forecast for Sunday. WI vs RSA Pitch Report The Brian Lara cricket stadium in Tarouba will play host to the second fixture, too. West Indies have won 4 out of 6 matches here, and would be looking to add to their winning tally with another strong performance.
