𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Islamabad United vs Lahore Qalandars𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 11, Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 21:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi, Pakistan𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st T20 2025 Islamabad United’s shot at a perfect start Islamabad United vs Lahore Qalandars 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. ISU vs LHQ Match Prediction & Analysis It is the first game in the Pakistan Super League 2025. Defending champions Islamabad Unit-ed will look to make a good start as they take on Lahore Qalandars. Islamabad United will look to start from where they left off last season and the team. The Lahore Qalandars had a poor tournament in 2024, where they finished at the bottom of the points table and look to put that behind them. The Lahore Qalandars won only once in 10 games last year and this will be on the minds of their players. While the batting looks good the same can’t be said about their bowling strength this year. Islamabad United have a strong batting lineup and have an edge in this game. It remains to be seen if the Lahore Qalandars can cause an upset in the tournament’s opening game. TEAMS PREVIEW Islamabad United Preview Shadab Khan and his men will aim to start their title defense with a win. The side peaked at the right time last season and won a record third title. They are one of the strongest teams this season and have retained last year’s core group of players. They don’t have a good record against the Lahore Qalandars, and Khan expects his team to play clinically and make a strong start. Matthew Short comes to the team and strengthens the batting. He will look to deliver a posi-tive start with Colin Munro. Shadab Khan led from the front last year, and he will look to add runs in the middle order with Salman Agha and Azam Khan. The team will expect a strong show in the lower middle order from hitters like Haider Ali, Imad Wasim, and Jason Holder. Naseem Shah and Ben Dwarshuis will aim for early wickets in the game to put Lahore Qal-andars under pressure. Jason Holder is an experienced bowler and will look to trouble the batsmen in the middle overs with Shadab Khan. Hunain Shah and Imad Wasim will look to bowl tight spells in the supporting roles. Lahore Qalandars Preview Shaheen Afridi and his men had a horrible outing last season. They finished at the bottom of the points table and had only one victory to talk about. Afridi would like his men to put last season’s upsets behind them and make a positive start. The Islamabad United won’t be easy to beat, and the Qalandars skipper wants aggressive performances from his players. The team has made several changes to the squad this season and expects Fakhar Zaman and Kusal Perera to deliver a good start. Abdullah Shafique must anchor the innings at No. 3 and build partnerships with Daryl Mitchell and Sikandar Raza. Shaheen Afridi and Shaheen Afridi are good hitters and must use the long handle. Shaheen Afridi must lead from the front and pick early wickets, along with Zaman Khan. Si-kandar Raza and Asif Afridi will enjoy bowling on this track as the conditions suit their style. The supporting attack failed last season, and the team expects Haris Rauf and David Wiese to control the scoring rate in the middle overs. Weather Conditions There will be cloud cover over Rawalpindi, encouraging the bowlers. The wicket has been good for the batsmen, where the ball has come onto the bat nicely, allowing players to play their strokes. The average first innings score is 158, and the team batting first will aim to have 180 runs on the board. ISU vs LHQ Pitch Report Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium is a batsman’s paradise where they can play their strokes with the wicket, offering true bounce and pace. It is a tough venue for the fast bowlers, as the wicket doesn’t have much for them. Spinners have done well as the ball grips the surface and turns sharply. Toss: To Bowl Bowling first has been the success mantra at this venue. On very few occasions, sides have defended scores at this venue. Both captains will have this on their minds during the toss, and the side winning it shall opt to bowl first.

New Zealand Women vs Australia Women, NZ-W vs AUS-W 2025, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : New Zealand Women vs Australia Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : March 21, Friday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 07:15 AM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Eden Park, Auckland, New Zealand 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st T20 2025 Defending World Champions take on the Aussies at home New Zealand Women vs Australia Women 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. NZW vs AUSW Match Prediction & Analysis New Zealand Women will take on Australia Women in the 3-match T20I series at home. Many of their star players will be back for this series after having missed a few recent outings for the White Ferns. Sophie Devine is back in the NZ squad along with Melie Kerr and Lea Tahuhu. Australia Women have always enjoyed the upper hand over NZ Women in T20 cricket. Tahlia McGrath will lead the Aussies in this series. Ellyse Perry and Beth Mooney are the experienced batters in this side to watch out for. Beth Mooney is joined by another wicket-keeper batter Nicole Faltum in the squad. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview Australia Women toured New Zealand last year where they defeated the hosts 2-0 in a 3-match ODI series. They are back for a 3-match T20I series this time and the hosts are ready with their star senior players in the squad. The recent T20I series against Sri Lanka Women in New Zealand was tied 1-1 with the hosts losing the opening game of the series in Christchurch. Suzie Bates led the team against Sri Lanka. She would be delighted to welcome Devine, Kerr, and Tahuhu back to the squad. Bates and Georgia Plimmer would be the most likely combination for the opening duo. Amelia Kerr and Sophie Devine will be the key players in the middle-order. They will be expected to deliver big partnerships to put NZ Women on track to a big score. Australia Preview Australia Women have won their last 6 consecutive matches against New Zealand. They will back themselves to extend their winning run against the White Ferns as they tour New Zealand once again. They have all their key bowlers in the squad and we expect them to pose a tough challenge to the hosts. Megan Schutt, Kim Garth, and Annabel Sutherland will be the key wicket-takers to watch out for. They also have the 22-year-old right-arm fast Darcie Brown in the squad. In addition, the number of all-rounders in the side allows for great variety in the bowling attack. While there is no Alyssa Healey in the squad, Australia Women are coming here with two wicket-keeper batters – Beth Mooney and Nicole Faltum. In the top order, Ashleigh Gardner, Ellyse Perry, and Phoebe Litchfield are the key players. Perry is the experienced batter who’s a reliable and consistent performer while Litchfield has shown great promise and has the X-factor. Another key all-rounder in the squad is Georgia Wareham who’s delivered consistently with both bat and ball. Weather Conditions It will be a sunny day in Auckland with a high of 24 degrees Celsius. Though there is prediction for rain on the following days, we don’t expect any rain interruptions on the match day. NZW vs AUSW Pitch Report It is a balanced wicket at Eden Park in Auckland with the average 1st innings score of 161 runs in the 31 T20I played here so far. We reckon the team batting first needs to post at least 175 or more to be in a winning position in this match. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first have won 14 of the 31 T20Is played at this venue. It is not a very high-scoring venue and we reckon chasing won’t be easy against a quality bowling attack. Batting first and having runs on the board is the way to go in this match.

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

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : New Zealand vs Pakistan𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : March 16, Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 06:45 AM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Hagley Oval, Christchurch, New Zealand 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st T20 2025 Preparation for the 2026 T20 World Cup begins as New Zealand host Pakistan in the first of five T20Is. New Zealand 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. NZ vs PAK Match Prediction & Analysis With the ICC Champions Trophy in the past, and the Indian Premier League about to begin, the start of this New Zealand versus Pakistan series will capture the imagination of top-level cricket-hungry fans across the globe. Beginning on Sunday afternoon at Hagley Oval in Christchurch, this game will be well attended with supporters of both sides likely to be making themselves heard! Both teams will not be at their strongest with players either making themselves unavailable for the series, resting, or in the case of some New Zealanders, raring to go in the IPL. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview Although the likes of Kane Williamson, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Devon Conway, Will Young and Matt Henry, all of who were involved in New Zealand’s run to the final of the Champions Trophy, will not be in the team for the Black Caps on Sunday, they can still put out a side of recognisable names and full of talent. Leading the charge with the bat will be Finn Allen who recovered from an awful run of scores early in the Big Bash League to show his quality and the experienced keeper-batter Tim Seifert is an accomplished player in this format. The middle order of Daryl Mitchell, Mark Chapman and Michael Bracewell are all very strong internationals with the latter captaining the team and also a very strong spinner. Ish Sodhi, Ben Sears and Jacob Duffy make up a quality bowling attack with James Neesham capable of delivering in both innings! Pakistan Preview Any Pakistan side without Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam is one which will not look as strong on paper. And that is certainly the case for this Pakistan team in this opening T20I. Without the big names, there is an opportunity for the likes of Usman Khan to show off his attacking batting skills as well as his talents behind the stumps with the gloves. Salman Agha will captain the side and has a strong record across all formats of late. He will be assisted by vice-captain Shadab Khan who can be inconsistent but is also a match-winner on his day. Pakistan’s strongest suit in this game will undoubtedly be in their bowling attack. Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf both have experience and all the skills and will fancy their chances against this New Zealand top order. Weather Conditions The forecast is for an excellent day in Christchurch throughout Sunday afternoon and into the early evening. Expect the temperature to peak at 27 degrees. NZ vs PAK Pitch Report The pitch in Christchurch can sometimes be a little green at the start of multi-day games but we expect to see a dry and bare surface for this game. A par score is likely to be approaching 200. Toss: To Bowl With six of the last eight T20I games in Christchurch won by the team chasing, we expect both captains to be fairly sure of their decision which we predict will be to bowl first if they win the toss.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : New Zealand Women vs Sri Lanka Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : March 14, Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 11:45 AM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Hagley Oval, Christchurch, New Zealand 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st T20 2025 Can Sri Lanka make a strong comeback in the T20I series against in-form hosts New Zealand?

New Zealand will be looking to continue their great rhythm with yet another win to take lead in the T20I series too. Both teams will fight hard to take the lead in the T20I series with a win in this match. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview New Zealand batters were superb and posted 240+ scores in the ODI matches recently. Maddy Green and Georgia Plimmer were their top scores with a century each in the series. Suzie Bates, Brooke Halliday, Isabelle Gaze, Polly Inglis and Jess Kerr made vital contributions to help their team win the series comfortably. Their bowlers bundled out the Sri Lanka womens for below 200 runs inside 50 overs. Jess Kerr, Bree Iling and Eden Carson ran through the opposition line up with good support from Fran Jones and Suzie Bates. Their bowling unit performed well as a team to strangulate the opposition batters. Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka batters struggled to make runs and their score cards read as follows 147/5, 182/10 & 167/10 in the 3 matches. Harshitha Samarawickrama was their lone warrior with 2 fifties in the series. Their batting order batters fell like nine pins with no player able making a big contribution effectively. Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshi De Silva, and Anushka Sanjeeani chipped with small cameos to keep their scorecard moving. Their bowling unit lead by the duo of Achini Kulasuriya and Sugandika Kumari failed to make early in roads with quick wickets. Chamari Athapathu and Kavisha Dilhari were decent with the ball. Their bowling unit usually lost steam as the opposition made merry to score runs easily. Key players: Chamari Athapathu, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Kavisha Dilhari Weather Conditions Hagley Oval is a venue where batters will have an upper hand owing to their nice and bounce on the track. Early moisture might help the bowlers with the new ball and we expect the scores to be around 150-160 runs in this match. NZW vs SLW Pitch Report Christchurch will have sunny and bright weather which are ideal for the game with no interruptions expected on the match day. Toss: To Bowl Both captains will look to chase down the target as we expect a fresh pitch and batters will enjoy batting second.

Zimbabwe vs Ireland, IRE vs ZIM 2025, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Zimbabwe vs Ireland 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 22, Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 17:00 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Harare Sports Club, Harare, Zimbabwe 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st T20 2025 Ireland have dominated Zimbabwe in 20-over cricket in recent years, emerging victorious in three of their last five meetings. Zimbabwe vs Ireland 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. ZIM vs IRE Match Prediction & Analysis Zimbabwe and Ireland switch gears from ODIs to T20Is this weekend, kicking off an exciting three-match series at Harare. Fresh off their 2-1 ODI triumph, the home team will look to keep their momentum going in the shorter format. But T20 cricket brings its own unpredictable nature, giving both sides a fresh chance at success. With Sikandar Raza leading the charge for Zimbabwe and Paul Stirling marshaling his Irish troops, we’re in for some explosive cricket as Ireland aims to bounce back from their recent setbacks. TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview Zimbabwe are set for the T20I series with a well-balanced squad that includes both experienced players and up-and-coming talents. Brian Bennett and Dion Myers are expected to lead the charge at the top, bringing stability while also keeping the scoreboard moving. In the middle order, Wessly Madhevere and Sikandar Raza add reliability. Raza, in particular, has been in excellent form, averaging 40 against Ireland in T20Is, making him a key figure in the middle overs. As for the bowling, Richard Ngarava and Blessing Muzarabani will take charge with the new ball. Both pacers are well-versed in these conditions and could make life difficult for Ireland’s top order. Ireland Preview Ireland will be eager to bounce back in the T20Is after falling short in the ODI series. Their form in 20-over matches has been inconsistent—they managed to hold South Africa to a 1-1 draw at home but also suffered unexpected setbacks, including a loss to Canada in last year’s T20 World Cup. To improve their chances, Ireland’s batting lineup needs to deliver. Paul Stirling, Harry Tector, and George Dockrell have the ability to put up big scores. Stirling, in particular, has an excellent record against Zimbabwe with a T20I average of 40.70. Curtis Campher and Lorcan Tucker will be crucial in the middle order, whether that means accelerating the run rate or steadying things if early wickets fall. On the bowling side, Mark Adair and Graham Hume are expected to play major roles in taking wickets, with Adair’s ability to extract movement off the pitch making him a threat. Josh Little and Matthew Humphreys could also make an impact as wicket-taking options for Ireland. Weather Conditions The Harare Sports Club pitch presents a balanced surface. We are likely to see a firm track with consistent bounce. Short boundaries square of the wicket will encourage aggressive batting, though spinners could find some grip in the middle overs. The outfield is quick and well-maintained. The weather will be cloudy with chances of a couple of showers and a thunderstorm in the afternoon and later. ZIM vs IRE Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Harare Sports Club is 157. The highest score posted here is India’s 234-2 against Zimbabwe in 2024. Toss: To Bowl Due to the forecast of cloudy skies and the possibility of rain in the afternoon, it is likely that both teams will opt to field first in the hope of getting early wickets.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : West Indies Women vs Bangladesh Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 28, Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 03:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Warner Park Sporting Complex, Basseterre, Saint Kitts and Nevis𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st T20 2025 West Indies’ quest for an early lead against struggling Bangladeshis West Indies Women vs Bangladesh Women 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. WIW vs BANW Match Prediction & Analysis The ODI series is over, and West Indies Women beat Bangladesh 2-1 in a one-sided contest other than the second game, where Bangladesh put up a strong fight. The action now moves to the T20i series and hosts West Indies Women will look to take an early lead. Bangladesh Women have struggled with its form and will look to perform better in this game. West Indies Women have an excellent record against the Bangladeshis. They have won all four T20i games between the two sides. Their bowlers have troubled the batters in this series, and hosts will draw inspiration from that. It will be an uphill task for the visitors, and their poor batting form will lower their confidence. It would be interesting if the team could fight hard in this game. TEAMS PREVIEW West Indies Preview Hayley Matthews and her players will be confident heading into this game. They won the ODI series 2-1 and dominated the Bangladeshis in both of their wins. They have a clean record against Bangladesh Women in this format, and Matthew would like a clinical show from her players as they aim for an early lead in the three-match series. Hayley Matthews is in good form and will look to take on the Bangladeshi attack at the start, along with Qiana Joseph. Shemaine Campbelle, Deandra Dottin, and Chinelle Henry are powerful strikers and would aim to add quick runs in the middle order. The team has good finishers and expects runs from Nerissa Crafton and Aaliyah Alleyne in the final overs. Bangladesh Preview Nigar Sultana and her team will be under pressure in this game. They have fared poorly with the bat in all three ODIs, even in the one where they defeated the hosts. The Bangladeshi skipper would expect a strong fightback from her players to win this game and regain their confidence. Sobhana Mostary has batted well and looks forward to delivering a good start in this game with Murshida Khatun. Fargana Hoque must anchor the innings in the middle order and add runs with Nigar Sultana and Sharmin Akhter. Shorna Akter and Fariha Trisna must do well in the lower middle order. The bowling attack has struggled in the series, and the team needs early strikes from Marufa Akter and Fariha Trisna, as the hosts have a strong batting lineup. Nahida Akter and Rabeya Khan must check the scoring rate in the middle overs. Sanjida Akter Meghla and Shorna need to do well in the supporting role. Weather Conditions It would be good weather conditions over St Kitts. The surface is flat, but the wicket is slow, and batters must adjust to the pace before playing their strokes. The average first-innings score is 128 runs for the last two years, and the side batting first will be happy to have 150 on the board. WIW vs BANW Pitch Report Warner Park, St Kitts, has a flat surface and a fast outfield, and batters have scored runs on this wicket. Bowlers can exploit a bit of slowness on this track with good lines and lengths. Spinners enjoyed a good record as the ball turned sharply on this wicket. Toss: To Bowl The wicket has been slow in the ODI series, and putting up a big total at this venue is challenging. The team chasing the score can pace its innings. The side winning the toss would look to bowl first.

India vs England, IND vs ENG 2025, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India vs England 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 22, Wednesday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:00 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Eden Gardens, Kolkata, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st T20 2025 Bazball enters white ball international cricket as England tour India starting with this T20I on Wednesday evening at Eden Gardens. India vs England 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. IND vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis Any series in any format between India and England is one which gets cricket fans across the globe excited and talking! This five match T20I series, which will be followed by a three game ODI series ahead of next month’s ICC Champions Trophy, will be sure to have neutrals as well as passionate India and England supporters glued to each fixture. There is more than the usual excitement ahead of this series as there is the big global tournament coming next month. Furthermore, England are under new management in this format with their Test head honcho, Brendan McCullum, who has changed the team’s entire approach to Test cricket, bringing the same approach to white ball cricket. But will England be able to take on the might of India in their own backyard and go toe to toe with them? That is the question ahead of this opener which sees both teams field full teams. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview Many international teams would not have been able to deal with the loss of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja at the same time whilst remaining competitive in T20I cricket but India are no ordinary side! Those three generational players called time on their T20I careers after the T20 World Cup last July but India have played so many games without them over the last few years that all the players in their side now have experience as well as all the key skills to thrive at this level. With the bat, captain Suryakumar Yadav, Abhishek Sharma and Rinku Singh are likely to bring the fireworks with the likes of Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson still playing positively but looking to also bat some time. England Preview England are another T20I side who have moved on from a group of players who had served them so well over the previous decade with the likes of Jonny Bairstow, Moeen Ali and Dawid Malan no longer in the thoughts of the selectors. Jos Buttler continues to lead the side and it will be interesting to see how he works with the new coach after he seemed a little put out and not at his best under the last regime. McCullum will no doubt be keen to empower the likes of Ben Duckett, Harry Brook and Jacob Bethell, all of who he has seen flourish in Test cricket. With the ball, England could well unleash the new ball pairing of Jofra Archer and Mark Wood to send down some rockets at the Indian batters. Buttler also has some strong spin options as well with Rehan Ahmed and the experienced Adil Rashid likely to start in this game. Weather Conditions It will be a warm and sunny day in Kolkata ahead of this game with the temperature likely to fall from the high twenties to the mid-low twenties across the match. Clear skies will be in order with humidity reaching 65% by the end of the contest. IND vs ENG Pitch Report Of the bowlers, pacers tend to have to work harder than spinners to pick up wickets at Eden Gardens, although the whole venue is also seen as batter friendly. Whoever bats first will be looking to post a score around 200 on Wednesday evening. Toss: To Bat Three of the last four T20Is at Eden Gardens have been won by the team batting first and with the conditions unlikely to change much across the evening, we predict that both captains will want to bat first ahead of this game.
