𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : South Africa Women vs England Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 15 ,Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein, South Africa𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st Test 2024 South Africa Women to fight against England Women in one off Test at home South Africa Women vs England 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. RSAW vs ENGW Match Prediction & Analysis South Africa Women will take on England Women in the Only Test of England Women’s tour of South Africa at Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein, on 15 December. The last time these two teams faced each other was back in 2022. That Test resulted in a draw. South Africa and England Women’s team are set for a rare encounter in Test Cricket. While South African Women are playing at home, England Women are yet to lose to South African Women home or away. Can England Women continue the unbeaten record against South African Women away from home? TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview When it comes to Women’s cricket, Test cricket is a very rare occurrence. Rarer so for South Africa Women as they have played just 5 Tests since 2007 when they defeated Netherlands Women. In the four Tests after that win, South Africa Women have lost three and drew one Test, that too against England Women. South Africa Women’s previous match against England Women ended in a draw. It was played back in 2022 when South of England Women won the toss and asked South Africa to bat first. Marizanne Kapp scored a memorable 150-run innings, helping South Africa Women reach 284 in the first innings. The rest of the batters could not score much. As many as five South African batters were dismissed on single digit. After England Women amassed 417 for 8 declared in 120 overs, South Africa Women managed 181 for 5 in their second innings, thus drawing the Test. England Preview England Women are a tough team to beat. They have drawn 5 and won 1 game in their last 10 matches. However, their last win came more than 10 years ago against Australia at Wackau. They defeated the Australian Women team by 61 runs. Having said that, they have a dominating record against South Africa winning 1 of the 3 Tests in 21st century while drawing the other two. Although the previous Test against South Africa Women ended in a draw, England Women were always in the dominating position. Responding to 284 made by South Africa Women in the first innings, England Women scored 417 for 8 declared. They had about 70 hours to get South Africa all out and win the game by an innings but they could not do that. Kate Cross took four wickets for them in the first innings while in the second innings Anneke Bosch took 3 wickets. Weather Conditions It is expected to be very hot. The temperature would range between 34°C to 17°C. While the day will start as sunny, there is some chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. We might lose some game time to thunderstorms, but it should not be a washout. RSAW vs ENGW Pitch Report The venue of the match is Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein. It is one of the prominent venues in South Africa. It was established in 1989 and has been home to many Test matches, ODI, and T20 matches. It was also one of the venues for the 2003 Cricket World Cup. The venue has a seating capacity of around 20,000 spectators. Toss: To Bat A total of 5 Tests have happened at Mangaung Oval, Bloemfontein and all ended in outright result. The teams batting first won 3 matches whereas the teams batting second have won 2. The team winning the toss should bat first here.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : New Zealand vs England𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 28,Thursday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 03:30 AM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Hagley Oval, Christchurch, New Zealand𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st Test 2024 England look to win a Test series in New Zealand for the first time since 2007 whereas New Zealand are sniffing the World Test Championship Final! New Zealand 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. NZ vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis Test cricket has suddenly become box office again. From Bangladesh beating Pakistan away in September to Pakistan then losing to a record breaking England side before then coming back to win the series, then India losing 3-0 at home to New Zealand, not to mention India thrashing Australia in Perth earlier this week in spite of being bowled out for 150 in their first innings. It’s a great format when it produces results, series and matches like this! TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview Confidence in New Zealand cricket is at an all time high after the men won 3-0 in India only a couple of weeks after their women’s team had won the T20 World Cup! And taking on England at home, with the ‘Bazball’ approach always leaving the door open to potential defeats, New Zealand could yet add another 3-0 whitewash before the year is out. Looking at New Zealand’s XI, there is so much batting talent that the opposition bowling attack will have to work hard to bowl them out. Rachin Ravindra is their lastest star turn and the experience Kane Williamson is still able to deliver. England Preview There will be a debut for England in the number three position as Jacob Bethell, who made his international bow in ODI and T20I cricket over the last month, enters the Test side. This is all despite him never batting at that number before and averaging only 25.44 from 30 innings for Warwickshire in first-class cricket. If that doesn’t sound like the most intimidating pick by the tourists, then the position of Ollie Pope, who experienced a very poor tour of Pakistan in October, taking the gloves and being in the side is also one of interest. He drops down to number six due to the added responsibility of keeping. Weather Conditions Although no rain is forecast across all five days of the Test, the temperature is forecast to drop from 26 degrees on day one to only 15 degrees on day two before getting back into the low 20s for Sunday and Monday. NZ vs ENG Pitch Report This is likely to be a good venue for bowling with the seam and swing bowlers best set to make the most of a green pitch. We are not expecting much reverse swing or spin to be a weapon and whoever bats first will be pleased to reach 300. Toss: To Bowl We are expecting to see a green seamer in Christchurch and it will not be greener than in the opening session of the Test. Therefore, we predict that both captains will want to bowl first in this match.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : South Africa vs Sri Lanka𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 27,Wednesday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Hollywoodbets Kingsmead Stadium Cricket Ground, Durban, South Africa𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st Test 2024 South Africa lead Sri Lanka 16-9 in the 31 test meetings between the two teams South Africa vs Sri Lanka 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. RSA vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis South Africa are heading into the test match against Sri Lanka for the first test meeting between the two teams since 2021. The Proteas have a significant advantage over Sri Lanka when it comes to taste meetings. In the 31 meetings between the two teams, South Africa have picked up 16 victories compared to just nine wins for Sri Lanka while the remaining six games have not produced a result. Amidst such a one-sided nature of the contest, South Africa are unlikely to be complacent with both teams heading on the back of recent test success. The game is part of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 and it will provide South Africa with a much-needed push into the WTC finals. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka occupies third place in the WTC table with five victories and four defeats. TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview South Africa are big favourites coming into the game. The home team were able to get a series victory over Bangladesh. The team appeared to be in a very confident mood with a string of positive performances in both matches. A number of players are in excellent form with Aiden Markram particularly taking the limelight with his consistent showing in 2024. The top-order batsman continues to have a definite edge in the test innings with 2500 runs picked up at an average of 35. Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka are heading into this new series on the back of a success over New Zealand in the recent test. There were plenty of areas where Sri Lanka need to improve with the top of the batting order being one among them. After having previously struggled against South Africa, Sri Lanka have every reason to be fearful ahead of this game. The home team will be keen to make the most of the favourable conditions for bowlers – especially pacers. The fall of an early wicket may lead to a collapse from Sri Lanka in such difficult circumstances. Weather Conditions The pitch is expected to be in favour of bowlers with a lot of bounce. The village first-innings score Durbin is expected to witness partly cloudy conditions. The maximum temperature is not expected to exceed 27°C while not falling below 21°C during the day. RSA vs SL Pitch Report South Africa have a 33% win record when it comes to games at the Kingsmead in Durban. They have been able to get 15 victories from the 45 test matches on this ground with 16 of them ending in a defeat. Sri Lanka, meanwhile, have never lost a test on this ground after winning two of their three matches. Toss: To Bowl The surface at Kingsmead is generally known to favour a lot of bounce and pace. It beat South Africa on this ground back in 2019 when the two teams met for a test match. This would be especially pronounced in the early innings. As a result, it would be a lot easier to bat later in the game. The toss winner is likely to choose to bowl first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India vs New Zealand𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 16, Wednesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 09:30 AM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st Test 2024 India is targeting a 3-0 victory in the Test series against New Zealand to ensure their advancement to the WTC Final. India vs New Zealand 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 NZ Match Prediction & Analysis Following a commanding 2-0 Test series victory over Bangladesh, Team India is now preparing for an exciting three-match Test series against New Zealand at home. The first match of the series will take place at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday, October 16. India will aim to build on their recent success in Test cricket and establish an early advantage in the series. With a mix of seasoned players and rising stars, the hosts are poised to exploit New Zealand’s vulnerabilities, particularly against spin, and reinforce their supremacy on home turf. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview India come into this series on the back of an impressive and dominating 2-0 Test series win against Bangladesh. Almost every player from that squad has been retained, meaning the home side will have a balanced and strong attack ready to take on the opposition. Yashasvi Jaiswal will open with captain Rohit Sharma, and the duo will once again look to provide the team with a rollicking start. Jaiswal, in particular, has been phenomenal in the format ever since his debut. New Zealand Preview New Zealand haven’t had the best of times in Tests this year and are coming into this series after being whitewashed 0-2 by Sri Lanka. To make matters worse, the Black Caps will be without the services of their premier batsman, Kane Williamson for the first Test owing to an injury. Weather Conditions The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is renowned for its consistent bounce and brisk pace, typically offering a balanced battle between batsmen and bowlers. Leading up to the first Test, there’s been a good amount of rain in the city, and the forecast suggests persistent cloud cover throughout the Test. This means fast bowlers should get decent movement off the air. Despite this, the pitch will still offer some turn for the spin bowlers. Expect cloudy skies with occasional thunderstorms throughout the Test. The weather will be pleasant, with moderate winds blowing from the southwest. IND vs NZ Pitch Report The average first innings score at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is 358. The highest team total posted at the venue is India’s 626 versus Pakistan back in 2007. The team batting first in this Test will be looking to get to a score of around 350 runs. Toss: To Bowl The team batting first has won 10 of the 24 Tests played at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium; 5 have been won by the team batting second, and 9 have been drawn. With cloudy skies expected on the first couple of days of the Test, the captain winning the toss might be tempted to bowl first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Pakistan vs England𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 07, Monday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 11:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Multan International Cricket Stadium, Multan City, Pakistan𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st Test 2024 England return to the country where they won all three Tests in 2022 with their sights set on another 3-0 victory! Pakistan 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. PAK vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis The start of any Test series is always an exciting one and there will be plenty of eyes on this game across the globe particularly as England won the series 3-0 the last time they were here. And when you throw in Pakistan’s poor recent home record, there is plenty for their coach, Australian Jason Gillespie, to sort out. TEAMS PREVIEW Pakistan Preview This Pakistan side has more talent than many other Test teams on the circuit at the moment but they have been unable to bring it together in a Test at home since February 2021! Babar Azam has not been at his usual high standards in this format but has the quality to turn it back on again and with Abdullah Shafique and captain Shan Masood in the top three, runs should not be a struggle. Equally, Saud Shakeel averages 56.30 from his 23 Test innings and Pakistan need to post big in their first innings. England Preview After arriving in Pakistan for this Test series in 2022 with limited expectations which they were able to easily outdo, England arrive for this series two years later with expectations a lot higher. However, the truth is that they are not at full strength with either the bat, the ball or in their leadership! Weather Conditions The forecast is for exceptionally hot conditions throughout this Test with day one, Monday, being the hottest of the lot! The temperature is expected to reach 37 degrees towards the end of the day which could mean some very tired bowlers and fielders. No rain is forecast from day one to day five in this Test. PAK vs ENG Pitch Report The last Test at this venue saw plenty of turn for the spinners throughout the game but we expect a little bit more for the pacers to work with in this match. This will not be the quickest pitch ever seen in Pakistan for a Test and we expect a par first innings total to be no more than 310. Toss: To Bat With such hot conditions forecast on day one, we expect this to be an easy decision for both captains at the toss. The pitch will surely disintegrate across the five days with the temperature so hot and we predict both skippers to choose to bat first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India vs Bangladesh𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Sep 19, Thursday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 09:30 AM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, India𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st Test 2024 India to take on confident Bangladesh to kick off the last leg of WTC Cycle India vs Bangladesh 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 BAN Match Prediction & Analysis After the successful campaign in Pakistan, Bangladesh will play a couple of Tests and three T20Is in the three-and-a-half-week tour. India will take on Bangladesh in the first Test of the two-match series at Chepauk on September 19th, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. The second and last Test of the series will be played in Kanpur. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview It was the fifth Test of the series in March 2024 when India last played Test cricket. Since then, they played a T20 World Cup and went on to win it. A long wait for the ICC trophy is finally over. After getting the much-needed rest after the hectic schedule of the IPL and World Cup, India is back to Test cricket for the last leg before the finalists of this WTC cycle will be decided. Bangladesh Preview Winning in India is tough. Many in-form, strong teams have come here in the last decade and returned empty-handed. But Bangladesh will fancy their chances, ever so slightly, after a tremendous series win against Pakistan. The margin of victories will boost their confidence even further. Weather Conditions The weather on the match day at Chepauk is expected to be mostly clear with occasional clouds during the day. The temperature will be around 37°C mark with very little chance of rain. It looks like these are excellent conditions for India’s return to Tests after a prolonged gap. IND vs BAN Pitch Report The venue of the match is MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai. It is one of the most iconic stadiums in India. It was established in 1916, making it one of India’s oldest cricket venues. It first hosted a Test match in 1934 and has been a prominent venue for international cricket since then. The stadium has a seating capacity of 38,000 spectators. Toss: To Bat A total of 22 Tests have been played at this venue, with the team batting first, winning 12 games compared to 10 for the team batting second. With the assistance of spin on offer in the later stages of the game, it would be a good idea to bat first here. The team winning the toss should bat first.

TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Pathum Nissanka – we won’t be forgetting that name anytime soon. He was the hero of Sri Lanka’s first Test victory in over a decade against England away from home. A win like that has the ability to lift the side’s confidence multi-fold. Sri Lanka would now like to utilise it against New Zealand in home conditions. New Zealand Preview New Zealand would be ruing the missed opportunity to play Afghanistan in India as a preparation for an important Test series against Sri Lanka. Thankfully, it did not cost them any WTC points, as Afghanistan are not part of the current WTC cycle, but it surely robbed them of some essential practice against Afghanistan spinners before the trial by spin in Sri Lanka. Weather Conditions The weather on the match day at Galle Cricket Stadium is not good news. It is expected to experience scattered rain showers throughout the day with periods of moderate to heavy rainfall. It’s a tough call for the captain winning the toss, given the conditions. Temperatures will likely range between 26°C and 29°C with high humidity levels. Be prepared for delays and interruptions in the match. SL vs NZ Pitch Report The venue of the match is Galle International Stadium. It is one of the most iconic and picturesque stadiums in Sri Lanka. Formerly a racecourse, it was converted to a cricket stadium almost 100 years ago in 1927. Incidentally, the first Test match played here was between Sri Lanka and New Zealand in 1998. The stadium has a seating capacity of 35,000 spectators.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : England vs Sri Lanka 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Aug 21, 2024𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 15:30 pm IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester, United Kingdom, United Kingdom𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st Test 2024 Sri Lanka begin their Test tour of England at Old Trafford with the hosts without some of their biggest names. England vs Sri Lanka 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. ENG vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis Although it is England as the hosts who will come into this Test and the series expecting to win convincingly, it is actually Sri Lanka who begins this match in fourth compared to their hosts seventh place in the World Test Championship! The tourists also come off the back of strong wins in this format earlier this year but they will be under no illusions that playing England in England is a very tough assignment. For the hosts, they have their eyes trained on the Ashes series down-under in 2025/26 and are rapidly trying to get experience into keeper-batter Jamie Smith and spinner Shoaib Bashir which could provide an opportunity for Sri Lanka. Equally, Ben Stokes’ injury will give vice-captain Ollie Pope the chance to lead the side but he has precious little experience of doing so in any format. TEAMS PREVIEW England Preview This England side does not like to look at things in a negative fashion so it will be interesting to see how they approach this opening Test of the series without their captain Ben Stokes and regular opener Zak Crawley. Indeed, it is less than 12 months since both Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson were both sharing the new ball for this side and the team which takes the field has a distinct lack of experience compared to recent years. Sri Lanka Preview This will be Sri Lanka’s first Test since they beat Bangladesh by 192 runs at the start of April to make it three victories in this format in a row. Indeed, all three of those wins have been by very comfortable margins which should mean there is a good level of confidence in the squad. That said, there have been changes in the backroom staff and former England coach Chris Silverwood is no longer with the side – instead the tourists will have former opener Sanath Jayasuriya as interim coach and he will have the local knowledge of former England Test batter Ian Bell to lean on. Weather Conditions The weather in Manchester is often joked about for being dreary, cold and wet, and according to the forecast, it could live up to its reputation at Old Trafford this week! Day one is expected to remain dry but it would be a surprise if there were no interruptions due to rain across the other four scheduled days of the Test. ENG vs SL Pitch Report Old Trafford is one of England’s historic Test venues and there is always strong backing for the home side. Even after turning the pitch by 90 degrees a few years ago, the pitch remains one of the quickest in the country. We expect spin to play a role in this match over the final two days of the game and batting should be easiest over the first two days.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : West Indies vs South Africa𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Aug 07, 2024𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st Test 2024 South Africa’s search for 6th consecutive win against West Indies 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 We are in the 1st Test Match of the two-match Test Series, where hosts West Indies would look to restore pride and confidence as they take on South Africa. West Indies suffered a drubbing in England last month, and the side received a lot of criticism. The South Africans play this format after a 6-month break, and the team will look to strike form. The South Africans have dominated the West Indies in recent years. They have won the last five games between the two teams and shall look to extend this lead. The visitors have a strong pace attack, which makes them strong. West Indies have struggled with this format, and their players lack experience. The odds are stacked against them and seeing if they can win will be interesting. West Indies Preview Kraigg Brathwaite’s team suffered a humiliating 0-3 loss against England last month. The side failed to put a fight in any of the games and needs to put that series loss behind. The South Africans will come hard at them in this game, and Brathwaite expects his batsmen to show more character and end their losing spree in Test cricket. South Africa Preview Temba Bavuma’s side will look to make a good start in the two-match series. The side returns to this format after 6 months and shall look to get over the 0-2 whitewash they suffered in New Zealand when a second-string team was fielded. In this format, they enjoy a good record against West Indies, and Bavuma would look for an early lead. Weather Conditions We would see overcast skies over Port of Spain, and the game may see regular rain interruptions. The batting conditions will be challenging, especially during the last two days. The average first innings score here is 304 runs, and the team batting first will be happy to have 400 runs on the board.

ENGLAND VS WEST INDIES MATCH PREDICTION & ANALYSIS West Indies tour England for a 3-match Test series which will mark the beginning of English home summer. England’s veteran pace bowler Jimmy Anderson is all set to play is final match in the first test of the tour. England have dominated West Indies at home and will look to continue their record while West Indies come here after an inspirational series draw against Australia down under. Both teams will look to go hard against each other in this series. England England batting line up has a couple of new names and they will hope to continue their good work in this series too. Openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett are expected to take their usual attacking route followed by experienced players like Ollie Pope, Joe Root, returning Harry Brook & Chris Woakes and Skipper Ben Stokes in the middle order. Jamie Smith will debut as a wicket keeper batter in this game. James Anderson and Chris Woakes will pair up to take the new ball while debutant Gus Atkinson will come in as the first change bowler with Ben Stokes set to resume his bowling duties. Shoaib Bashir will be thier lead spinner after his impressive showing in India series. West Indies West Indies will open with their skipper Kraigg Brathwaite and debutant Mikyle Louis in this match. They have an inexperienced middle order with the likes Kirk McKenzie, Kavem Hodge and Alick Althanaze in the playing XI. Keeper Joshua Da Silva and Jason Holder will add depth and experience to their batting unit. Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph and Jayden Seales will form a strong core of pace department alongside Jason Holder in the XI. Kevin Sinclair and Gudakesh Motie will fight for the lone spinner’s slot in the playing XI. ENGLAND VS WEST INDIES Pitch Report Lord’s have a been traditionally a good pitch with balance between the bat and ball. Batters need to see through the new ball spell to have a go at the bowlers. We expect the average scores in range of 300-400 runs in the first innings.
