AUS vs PAK 2nd Test Match Prediction & Betting Tips Australia and Pakistan go head to head at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the Boxing Day Test which begins on Tuesday. The opening game of the series took place in Perth earlier this month and saw Australia easily win by 360 runs. Read on as we preview the Second Test of the three-match series. The Test begins in Melbourne at 10:30 local time. It was a dominant performance from Australia in Perth who got on top of Pakistan on the first day and never let them back into the game. Playing in front of a big Boxing Day crowd at the MCG is something which inspires Australians to new heights and we expect another big win in Melbourne. Conditions in Australia are always very different to those in Pakistan Test venues and the weather forecast for Melbourne is for cooler days than in Perth. Pakistan need one of their batters to stand up and put in a big score if they are to be competitive in this Test. SA vs IND Match Toss PredictionWith plenty of rain and humid weather forecast before and during the five days of this Test, we expect both teams to choose to bowl first if they win the toss ahead of this game.

He is our tip for Scotlandโ€™s highest run scorer against Oman. With the ball, Brad Wheal took 3/33 in the last game and we are backing him to be Scotlandโ€™s top wicket taker on Sunday.With an attacking intent, Michael Jones will take on the bowlers throughout his innings.

Oman vs Scotland Match Prediction & Betting Tips, T20 World Cup 2024We are up to Match 20 of the 2024 T20 World Cup already and this game between Oman and Scotland on Sunday will take place in North Sound, Antigua. Oman are still looking for their first win of the tournament after two matches whereas Scotland have won one and lost one. Read on as we preview this match which gets underway at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium at 15:00 local time on June 9th. Sitting bottom of the table in Group B after two defeats from two games, Oman must win this match if they are to have any chance of finishing in the top two and progressing to the Super 8s. However, they have typically found Scotland too strong an opposition in previous head to heads. Scotland have performed well in both of their matches so far this tournament and after the no-result against England and the win over Namibia, they will expect this game to be an easier contest. They should have enough experience to come out on top. Oman vs Scotland Match Toss PredictionWith the last three matches at North Sound in T20Is ending with the side who fielded first winning, we are predicting both teams to choose to field first ahead of this game. Oman vs Scotland Pitch ReportWe usually see this pitch rewarding spinners and pace bowlers who give the pitch the chance to make a difference. Here at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, any score of over 165-170 will be competitive. Antigua Weather ReportAlthough the weather forecast is for cloudy conditions throughout this match. It will also be very warm and the temperature will be in the high 20s from start to finish in Antigua.

ENG vs AUS Match Prediction & Analysis England humbled the visitors in the 4th ODI at Lordโ€™s. They not only outplayed the Australians with the bat but were brutal with their bowling attack as well. Skipper Harry Brook is in fine touch in the middle order and is leading the batting lineup quite well. Australia, with some of the biggest stars in one-day international cricket, were underwhelming in their performances. The pace trio of Hazlewood, Starc, and Abbott failed to put the hosts under pressure. Adam Zampa, a key figure in this bowling attack was the target of the English middle order as they went after him every time he came to bowl. Being bowled out for 126 runs while chasing 313 in a 39-over game is a huge disappointment. Australians are known for their never-say-die attitude and we expect them to bounce back strongly in this game. On the other hand, England will be confident coming to Bristol with most of their key players finding their rhythm. TEAMS PREVIEW England Preview Harry Brook instilled confidence in his team with his maiden hundred in the 3rd ODI. His partner in that match-winning 3rd wicket stand was out cheaply in the 4th match but opener Ben Duckett stepped up this time around and led a great fight. The two didnโ€™t let any of the Aussie bowlers settle and especially, Adam Zampa. Their approach to batting set the momentum for the innings and the lower middle order players who followed built on the foundations set by these two. Australia Preview The world champions have got all it takes to beat any team in the world. Theyโ€™ve got Travis Head at the top, Smith at number 3, Labuschagne in the middle, and Maxwell as the finisher in the batting order. It canโ€™t get better than this. There is plenty of experience and talent in this side. Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood are the top bowlers in Australia in all formats. And if these two start struggling to find breakthroughs, these are alarming signs. PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS Weather Conditions The weather forecast isnโ€™t very promising for the match day in Bristol. There will be rain and wind throughout the day. Unlike at Lordโ€™s where 11 overs were reduced from both innings, in Bristol the weather conditions might result in an abandoned match. ENG vs AUS Pitch Report It is a great wicket for batting. The average 1st innings score in ODIs at this venue is 241 runs. However, there have been many high-scoring matches here and we expect the pitch to offer plenty of help for the batters in this match as well. With the weather around, the bowlers will also find some movement through the air and we should have an even contest between bat and ball. Toss: To Bowl The team winning the toss has opted to bowl in the last 3 matches of this series. At this venue in Bristol, 18 of the 37 ODIs went in favor of the team bowling first. The highest score chased on this ground was 359 runs by England against Pakistan in 2019.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots vs Antigua and Barbuda Falcons 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. AFG vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis Afghanistan is all set to take on New Zealand for their one-off Test at the Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground in New Delhi on September 9. This will be the first Test played between the two sides. TEAMS PREVIEW Afghanistan Preview Hashmatullah Shahidi will be leading Afghanistan for the one-off Test against New Zealand. Their regular captain and premier spinner, Rashid Khan is currently recovering from an injury and will hence not be a part of this Test. This is a huge blow to Afghanistan, as he is their main bowler. To make things worse, seamer Naveed Zadran has been ruled out as well due to a side strain injury. New Zealand Preview New Zealand have put together a formidable squad for their Test against Afghanistan, with veteran seamer Tim Southee captaining the team.   The team is packed with star players, including the returning Kane Williamson, who had previously opted out of a central contract. He will be joined by fellow heavy-hitters Devon Conway, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, and Rachin Ravindra, while Tom Latham retains his role as vice-captain, lending stability and depth to the lineup. Weather Conditions In limited-overs cricket, the Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground has generally produced healthy batting tracks. We feel, the first two and a half days will be best for batting here. There will be some turn throughout, but from the third day onwards, spinners will get a lot more help. Batters will have to show proper technique to survive on the last two days. The weather will be very warm and humid for the first three days of the Test. Rain might hamper proceedings for a while on the final two days. AFG vs NZ Pitch Report The team batting first here will be looking to set a score of around 350-400. The wicket will get tougher to bat on as the match progresses, as getting a bog score in the first innings will be a massive advantage.

Buttler when on song is hard to stop. Back him as RR top batter against MI. Trent Boult with his left arm swing bowling possesses abilities to blow MI top order. We are expecting him to deliver a good show against MI thus he is our pick for RR top bowler.Rohit Sharma has got starts but barring a hundred against CSK, he does not have a fifty+ score. Rohit needs to ensure he plays through the innings when set at the crease, something he is very capable off. Back him as MI top batter. Jasprit Bumrah has been magnificent for MI and is the leading wicket-taker of the tournament, with 13 wickets. He is a great pick for top bowler.Both MI and RR have multiple six hitters in the team and on a venue that is known to see some of the biggest hits, expect a lot of fireworks. Total sixes in the match should be over 15.5. Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians 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. Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2024 Rajasthan Royals will play Mumbai Indians in the 38th match of the IPL 2024. The game will be played at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur and will start at 7:30 PM IST on April 22nd. Rajasthan Royals have been the best team of the tournament so far. They are placed at the top of the table with six wins and just one defeat in seven matches. Their only defeat came against Gujarat Titans, however, that was a game they dominated for most part. The Royals look a brute force as each and every player has made a significant contribution to the teamโ€™s juggernaut.  Meanwhile, MI have struggled to play best cricket. The team has lost four crucial matches and need a few back to back wins to have realistic chance of playoff qualification. MI have a strong team but somehow the team does not looks on the same page. Maybe the Hardik Pandya-Rohit Sharma captaincy change has something to do with it but the team has looked off colour. Another major concern for MI has been the lack of support for Jasprit Bumrah. While the ace Indian pacer has been outstanding, other bowlers have been hammered. Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians Match Toss PredictionToss will be crucial here as 180+ totals have been easily chased here in the previous two games. Captain winning the toss should chase again. Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians Pitch ReportThe pitch at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur is batting friendly. The new ball has done a bit but short boundaries and quick outfield has ensured that players have caught up with the run rate when the ball stops moving. Spinners have got some help though and can be the game changers. Jaipur Weather ReportIt will be a humid evening with temperature hovering around high 20s. The humidity will be 22 per cent and the wind speed will be 12 kmph. There is a 10 per cent chance of rain.

Mohammad Amir’s Ireland visa not issued yet due to his jail term post spot fixing case in 2010 โ€“ India TV

Image Source : GETTY Mohammad Amir Pakistan are set to depart for Ireland today for the three-match T20I series starting from May 10. The series is crucial in terms of preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup starting from June 1 in West Indies and the USA. But the visitors will have to fly out without one of their premier bowlers – Mohammad Amir as his visa is yet to be issued for the travel and is still being processed. According to PCB source, Amir’s jail term and subsequent ban post the spot-fixing case in 2010 has come back to haunt him. For the same reason, the visa has not been issued to him yet but the board is confident that the issue will be solved soon. The source further stated that Amir might be able to join the Pakistan team in Ireland in the next couple of days. Notably, Amir had faced a similar issue back in 2018 as well when the team was embarking on the tour of Ireland and England but was later issued visa. “Because of the spot-fixing case of 2010 and his subsequent jail term and ban his visa is still being processed.ย We are hopeful he will get his visa in a day or two and he can join them later,” the source said according to PTI. This is a crucial tour for some of the players in Pakistan squad as the board is yet to officially announce the team for the T20 World Cup. Pakistan are also scheduled to play four T20I matches against England away from home which will also be their last assignment before the mega event. The deadline to announce the final squad for the World Cup is May 25. Pakistan tour of Ireland schedule May 10 – 1st T20I May 12 – 2nd T20I May 14 – 3rd T20I Pakistan squad: Babar Azam (C), Fakhar Zaman, Saim Ayub, Iftikhar Ahmed, Irfan Khan, Agha Salman, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Azam Khan, Usman Khan, Mohammad Rizwan, Abrar Ahmed, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Amir, Naseem Shah, Shaheen Afridi

Rohit Sharma laughs, Agarkar comes up with 'experience' retort on Virat Kohli's strike rate question

Rohit Sharma laughs, Agarkar comes up with ‘experience’ retort on Virat Kohli’s strike rate question

Image Source : PTI/AP Rohit Sharma and Ajit Agarkar, the Indian captain and chairman of selectors addressed the press conference regarding the T20 World Cup squad Indian captain Rohit Sharma and chief selector Ajit Agarkar were pretty straightforward with their responses in the press conference in Mumbai on Thursday, May 2 with respect to the T20 World Cup announced a couple of days ago. The duo was asked pretty much everything from the omissions of Rinku Singh, and Shubman Gill to the presence of four spinners and form of certain players. One of the questions was regarding Virat Kohli’s strike rate and the first reaction from skipper Rohit suggested that they were expecting that. Rohit laughed instantly. It was a rather sheepish smile. Before he gestured towards Agarkar to respond to the question and the former India pacer mentioned that Kohli has been in terrific form in the season so far and came up with the experience retort while shedding light on the gap between IPL and international cricket. “I don’t think we have been discussing it. So, no look he’s been in great form fortunately in the IPL. So no concerns there at all. With regards to how it is going inย the IPL, you are still going to a World Cup, it is still international, there’s still that gap there. So, you’ve got to prepare knowing that there is that gap. That’s where experience does matter a lot. If the tournament turned out to be where IPL is where 220 plays 220, I think we’ve still got enough in the team, the balance or the power that you can match that.ย  “There’s no point in overthinking. You look and take positives that are happening in the IPL, form of some of the guys, some of the newer guys coming through. At the end of the day, when you turn up for a World Cup game, the pressures are a little different,” Agarkar added. Watch the video here (1:27:27 – 1:28:51): Kohli has had a couple of knocks where his strike rate came under the scanner, however, he has been in outstanding touch with the bat playing for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Kohli has amassed 500 runs at an average of 71.4 and a strike rate of 147.49. India have option of playing Kohli at the top or at No 3 give the rest of the combination they want to go with. ย

‘You play fire with fireโ€ฆ’: Pakistan born-Ali Khan on playing against Virat Kohli in India-USA T20 World Cup match | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: With India set to take on co-hosts USA in their T20 World Cup match at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, interesting match-ups are on the cards.Ahead of the match on Wednesday, the host broadcaster shared a video of US cricketers Saurabh Netravalkar, captain Monank Patel, Harmeet Singh, Ali Khan and Corey Anderson talking about taking on India.T20 WORLD CUP: SCHEDULE | POINTS TABLEWelcoming Team India to the USA, Saurabh Netravalkar says, “If we play our best game, we can sort of compete against top cricketers. We will try to take one game at a time and not get overwhelmed by the star-studded players and will try to bowl against a batsman and bat against a bowler. Try to keep it simple.”US captain Monank Patel remarks, “You dream about these kinds of things. Suddenly you see yourself with Rohit Sharma on the toss time. It’s unreal. It will be a high-pressure game, we don’t want to focus too much on them right now. We want to play the brand of cricket we want to play against all the teams.”Harmeet Singh adds, “Growing up I used to look up to Rohit Sharma. Rohit comes from my school. I’ll take things as they come. With Sanju (Samson), Kuldeep (Yadav) I have played U-19 for India. Axar (Patel) I have played with him. It’ll be fun catching up with them and playing against them.”US pacer Ali Khan, who was born in Pakistan, added fuel to the rivalry by saying, “Virat Kohli has always been one of the favourites and coming up against him and playing against him, it will be really really good. He is very passionate on the field but so am I. On the field if things get heated up then they get heated up. I mean you play fire with fire. He’s right up there. They call him King Kohli for a reason.”Corey Anderson, who has played international cricket for New Zealand concludes, “That’s the beauty of playing against India. You know that you’re going to have millions and millions of eyes on you and you know they are against you. There are familiar foes that I have faced and played against. You have done this before and there is evidence to suggest that you can do it again.” With two victories in as many games, the USA squad has been dominating the T20 World Cup. The Indian team, which the US team has never played in any format, is packed with IPL superstars.Among the USA team, five were Indian natives. The team’s India-born players include Ronak Patel, Nisarg Patel, Saurabh Netravalkar, Harmeet Singh, and Milind Kumar. In the one and only IPL match he took part in, Harmeet Singh dismissed Ross Taylor for Rajasthan Royals, that was then led by the present India head coach Rahul Dravid.

IPL-17: DC vs MI | In a thrilling encounter, Mumbai Indians fall short by 10 runs against Delhi Capitals

Mumbai Indians lost Rohit Sharma (8) early with the score at 35. Ishan Kishan (20) also fell with MI score at 45 in 4.1 overs. All the hopes fell on the shoulders of Suryakumar Yadav (26 off 13 balls) who thrashed three boundaries and 2 sixes. But with the wicket of Suryakumar Yadav, Mumbai Indians relied on its captain Hardik Pandya. Pandya (46) scored some scintillating shots and took his team to 136 in 12.3 overs. Nehal Wadhera (4) fell early and Mumbai Indains were in some sort of trouble. But Tim David (37) and Tilak Verma (63) played brilliantly and they nearly took Mumbai Indians home but fell short by 10 runs.

Jake Fraser-McGurk (84 off just 27 balls) and Abishek Porel (36) started on a brisk note to put on 114 runs in just 7.3 overs. McGurk was particularly severe right from the first ball of the innings and scored at will despatching the bowlers to all around the Arun Jaitley stadium. He hit 11 fours and 6 sixes in his innings. Porel played second fiddle to McGurk. With the quick wickets of McGurk and Porel at 127 in 9.4 overs, it was Shai Hope (41 off 17 balls) and captain Rishabh Pant (29) scored briskly and added 53 runs in just 4 overs.
