IPL-17, GT vs KKR: Gujarat Titans hosts Kolkata Knight Riders in a high-stakes encounter

Big-match player: GT would rely on its trump card Rashid to deliver against an inform KKR. | Photo Credit: Vijay Soneji Contrary to the excitement of the last week of the Indian Premier League’s first stage where the qualification scenario keeps altering with each outcome, many would feel Monday night will hardly matter in the eventual outcome. However, both Gujarat Titans and Kolkata Knight Riders will know that there is a lot riding on the result at the Narendra Modi Stadium for their team in the final standings. Must-win situation Titans will again find themselves in a must-win situation to keep its hopes of a miraculous entry into the playoffs for the third time in as many seasons. Knight Riders, meanwhile, need a win in its remaining two games to ensure a top-two finish and enjoy the advantage of an additional opportunity to enter the final. Shreyas Iyer’s in-form outfit will be hoping to seal it with a game to spare, that too against a team that has struggled to find the combination right through the season. Having used 23 players — the most by a team this season — Titans have struggled to get going. But their captain Shubman Gill, a former Knight Riders himself, will be hoping to continue from his hundred in the last outing with another strong performance while leading against his former team. If Gill and B. Sai Sudharsan continue their heroics at the top, Titans will be hoping for Rashid Khan to deliver the knockout punch against the table-toppers. Knight Riders will be tempted to pair Rahmanullah Gurbaz, a former Titans player, at the top with Sunil Narine in place of England’s Phil Salt, who is set to join his national squad after the league stage.

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.

Virat Kohli In New York But Might Miss India's Only T20 World Cup Warm-Up Game. Here Is The Reason

Virat Kohli In New York But Might Miss India’s Only T20 World Cup Warm-Up Game. Here Is The Reason

Danijones03 mins

Virat Kohli’s participation in the practice match will depend on how he is feeling.© X (Twitter) India’s premier batter Virat Kohli arrived in New York on Friday for the T20 World Cup, five days after his other team members but it is still not clear if he would be playing the warm-up game against Bangladesh on Saturday. “Virat Kohli has checked in at the team hotel and after a long flight, he would be taking rest,” a senior BCCI source confirmed his arrival. Having travelled for 16 hours to reach the ‘Big Apple’, his participation in the practice match will depend on how Kohli feels and if he is willing to have a hit against the Bangladesh side at the Nassau County Cricket Ground. Kohli has scored 741 runs in 15 IPL games. He doesn’t need much match practice, and he will still get three quality net sessions before the first game against Ireland on June 5. There was an optional training session on Friday morning in which Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube and Mohammed Siraj sweated it out under the guidance of the support staff. The team management and the BCCI have often made exceptions about Kohli linking up with the national team. He was also permitted a break before the South Africa Test series when he arrived in the ‘Rainbow Nation’ only to leave for the UK for personal reasons before rejoining the squad. He skipped the entire England Test series at home in February-March for the birth of his second child. This time too, for the T20 World Cup, the first batch of players flew in on May 25 while the second group touched down on May 28. Kohli has so far missed three sessions of training but if one goes by what the team management feels, they understand that the legend knows his stuff and his routines won’t be tinkered with.  (Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)

LIO vs TIT Match Prediction & Analysis We are in the 1st Qualifier of the CSA T20 Challenge 2024, and the table toppers Lions will be up against the Titans. Both teams finished the league stage on a high. The Lions defeated North West in their last game, while the Titans defeated the Warriors. The confidence will be high in both camps.   The Titans have a good record against the Lions and defeated them by a big margin earlier this season. They have a strong batting lineup and shall look to bank on it on a good surface at The Wanderers. It will be interesting to see if the Lions can overcome their poor record against the Titans in this game. TEAMS PREVIEW Lions Preview Bjorn Fortuin’s team has shown great consistency this season. They finished at the top of the points table with five wins in seven games. They did well in the last game against North West, winning by 5 runs with a good show in the final overs. Fortuin would like his team to build on this form and reach the final with a win.   Titans Preview Keegan Petersen and his men will be confident heading into this game. They have won four games and lost only twice. They defeated the Warriors by 6 wickets in the last game and have built momentum ahead of the playoffs.

The conditions will be good for batting as it has been right throughout the season. Bowlers have little on this surface. The average first-innings score at this venue is 171 runs, and the side batting first must target 200 runs. LIO vs TIT Pitch Report The Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg is the best batting track in South Africa and has a fast outfield. Batsmen have always enjoyed batting here, as the ball comes onto the bat easily. It is a tough wicket for the bowlers to bowl on, and they need to deceive the batsmen to earn their wickets. Toss: To Bat The wicket is a batting paradise, and the batsmen enjoy a good record here. The side batting first does well at this venue, and in the four games this season, the team that batted first won three times. The side winning the toss would have little hesitation in batting first.

Pat Cummins' favourite memory of Virat Kohli won't make Indian fans happy | Cricket News

Pat Cummins’ favourite memory of Virat Kohli won’t make Indian fans happy | Cricket News

Danijones04 mins

Virat Kohli and Pat Cummins will face off once again in IPL 2024 on Thursday when Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) host Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, and while the camaraderie between two champion cricketers was evident during a joint training session, Cummins didn’t miss a chance to be a little cheeky when he was asked about his favourite memory of Kohli. IPL 2024: Results | Points Table In the ‘Captains Speak’ segment of a Star Sports show, Cummins, who also led Australia to the 2023 ODI World Cup triumph, was asked a few questions about Kohli as the two gear up for another match-up. “Someone who has played so much cricket, I admire him for how much he gets up for every game and gets into the contest, whether he is batting or in the field. He plays 100 days a year and he’s up for every single of those games,” Cummins said. Interestingly, Kohli was bowled by Cummins for 54 in the 2023 ODI World Cup final, which proved to be one of the game-changing moments of the title clash that Australia went on to win by six wickets. It was Australia’s record-extending sixth ODI World Cup triumph. WATCH VIDEO Possibly with that dismissal at the back of his mind, Cummins chose to be cheeky in his reply to another question.“My favourite memory of Virat? Can I say when I get him out?,” he said, and followed it up with a smile.ALSO READ: How to watch IPL in Canada In RCB’s earlier match against the Sunrisers in this IPL season, Kohli scored 42. The game saw SRH scoring IPL’s highest ever total as they put up a gigantic 287 for 3 on the board. RCB made a match of it in run-chase but ended up short (262 for 7) and lost by 25 runs. Kohli currently leads the Orange Cap standings with his tally of 379 runs in 8 matches, including one hundred and two fifties. He averages 63.16 and has scored his runs at a strike rate of 150.39. Cummins added that while both he and Kohli are competitive on the field, they are fairly relaxed off it.“We are both super competitive. I think off the field Virat is pretty relaxed and I am (also) pretty relaxed off the field,” said the SRH skipper.

‘There’s a man behind the stumps…’: Hardik Pandya makes big comment on MS Dhoni after CSK win | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: Sri Lankan fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana delivered his standout IPL performance, claiming four wickets as the Chennai Super Kings defeated Mumbai Indians by 20 runs in an electrifying match at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday.Put into bat first, CSK’s star allrounder Shivam Dube and skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad showcased brilliant stroke play, each notching up half-centuries, propelling the five-time champions to a mammoth 206/4.In reply, Pathirana dismissed Ishan Kishan (23), Surya Kumar Yadav (0), Tilak Varma (31), and Romario Shepherd (1), finishing with figures of 4 for 28, limiting the Mumbai Indians to 186 for six in their allotted 20 overs.IPL: POINTS TABLE | ORANGE CAP | PURPLE CAPMI captain Pandya, who managed just 2 runs before being dismissed by Tushar Deshpande, acknowledged Pathirana’s pivotal role in CSK’s victory.Pandya also lauded the strategic acumen of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, whose aggressive batting display against him in the final four deliveries, yielding three consecutive sixes, proved decisive in CSK’s triumph.“It (target) was definitely gettable, but they bowled pretty well. Pathirana was the difference. They were smart with the plans and their approach. They got the hang of it, there’s a man behind the stumps (Dhoni) who tells them what’s working, that helps,” Pandya said after the match. “It (pitch) was holding up a bit and getting difficult. It was about batting well and keeping the intent. We were going quite well (in the run chase) till Pathirana came into the attack and took those two wickets,” Pandya added.“It was about what is best at that time, we could have done something different. I like to play percentage cricket, it would have been difficult for him (Dube) against seamers rather than spin. We are on the road for the next four games, need to play good cricket, need to keep the intensity high,” the MI skipper said.Mumbai Indians will next face Punjab Kings on April 18 in Chandigarh, while CSK will be up against Lucknow Super Giants on April 19 in Lucknow.

Far Behind USA In NRR, Babar Azam Explains 'Slow Approach' Against Canada In T20 World Cup Clash

Far Behind USA In NRR, Babar Azam Explains ‘Slow Approach’ Against Canada In T20 World Cup Clash

Danijones03 mins

Babar Azam in post-match presentation ceremony© X (Twitter) Pakistan skipper Babar Azam is relieved to have logged their first win in the T20 World Cup here on Tuesday and said they couldn’t complete their chase of 107 in a lesser number of overs because of a difficult pitch. Having suffered back-to-back defeats against the USA and India in their first two Group A matches, the game against Canada was a must-win tie for Pakistan. Chasing a modest target, Pakistan rode on Mohammad Rizwan’s run-a-ball unbeaten 53 and Babar’s 33 to get over the line in 17.3 overs. “Good for us, we need this win. We started well with the bowling, in the first six overs we know we had to be up to the mark,” Babar said at the post-match presentation ceremony. “It was in our mind (to get over USA’s net run rate), to win before 14 overs but the pitch made it difficult.” After making a run-a-ball 33, Babar was out caught in the slips while trying to guide a delivery down to third man, and the dismissal left the Pakistan skipper angry. “Because I got out with the same shot twice (against India)! This is my shot but sometimes you need success. I’ll try my best.” India are currently placed atop Group A with two wins from as many matches with USA following with same number of victories. Pakistan have climbed up to the third spot with two points from three games ahead of Canada and Ireland. Canada captain Saad Bin Zafar felt it was a difficult wicket to bat early on. “Definitely, it was a bit disappointing. We wanted to play a positive brand of cricket and I think the wicket was not very helpful. It was difficult to bat early on – not a good toss to lose. We were about 25 to 30 runs short,” he said.
