RSAW vs ENGW Match Prediction & Analysis It is the second game of the three-match series, and South African women will look to level the series against England Women. We witnessed a close contest in the first game, where England Women won by 4 wickets. The visitors want to build on the momentum and register another series as the South Africans look to claw back.  England Women have been in good form in this format. The team has lost only twice in the last 15 games and won most by comfortable margins. They have a good record against South Africa Women, which will add to their confidence. South Africans play at home, and they will look to mount a strong challenge on the English team.  TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview Laura Wolvaardt’s team had their chances in the last game but failed to grab them. The batters struggled with the scoring rate, while the bowler didn’t deliver the killer punch when needed. They haven’t enjoyed a great record against England in the past, and Wolvaardt must inspire confidence in the team to level the series.  England Preview Heather Knight will be happy with her team’s performance in the last game. They had a few nervous moments in the run chase but got over the finishing line comfortably at the end. Knight would like to keep their foot on the accelerator and win the series with a win in the second game.  Danielle Wyatt-Hodge and Maia Bouchier started well in the last game, and the team expects them to deliver a similar show. Nat Sciver-Brunt will be confident after her crucial knock in the last game. She will aim to build partnerships with Sophia Dunkley and Heather Knight. Amy Jones and Freya Kemp add firepower in the lower middle order.  Weather Conditions There are predictions for clear skies and rain in Benoni. The wicket won’t be easy to bat on, and batters must be cautious. Fast bowlers will enjoy bowling on this track. The average first-innings score here is 132 runs, and the team batting first will aim to have 150 on the board. RSAW vs ENGW Pitch Report Willowmoore Park, Benoni balances it out between the batters and the bowlers. With shorter square boundaries, it is a good ground for batters who play the cut and pull well. Fast bowlers also do well on this track with the grass cover we have seen over the years at this ground. Toss: To Bat The last three games at this venue have gone in favor of the team batting first. This wicket slows down in the second innings, making run chases difficult. The team winning the toss would look to bat first.

West Indies 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. WI vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis West Indies will look to even the series as they take on England in the second T20I at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. England cruised to a win in the first match and will be aiming to go up 2-0. Though they lost the ODI series, the visitors seem much more at ease in the shortest format of the game. For the hosts, improving their bowling will be the focus, as their batting lineup is already looking strong. TEAMS PREVIEW West Indies Preview West Indies would be disappointed with their bowling performance in the first T20I. After the batters put up a solid score of 182 on the board, the bowlers couldn’t trouble any of the England batters, and they romped home with the loss of just 2 wickets in 16.5 overs. England Preview Phil Salt’s outstanding unbeaten hundred powered England to a dominant eight-wicket win in the first T20I, giving them a 1-0 edge in the five-match series. The home team was kept in check by Saqib Mahmood, who claimed a career-best 4 for 34. Mahmood’s impressive spell included three powerplay wickets and a stingy final over that limited the West Indies to a below-par total. England suddenly look like a different beast in the T20 format. Philip Salt has been consistently food for a while now. Then they also have Will Jacks, Jos Buttler, and Liam Livingstone in the batting unit. Jacob Bethell also impressed with his maiden T20I fifty and appears to be a solid presence in the middle. Weather Conditions The pitch at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua is expected to be a relatively flat one, which should make life easier for top-order batsmen early on. With minimal swing and seam movement, they’ll have a great opportunity to score big during the powerplay. However, things might get tougher as the ball gets older. Bowlers can still make an impact with clever variations, like cutters and change-ups, while spinners will find plenty of turn throughout the match. And as the game wears on and the lights come on, the batting might get a bit easier. The weather in Antigua will be mostly cloudy during the game. Some showers are expected in the morning, but the match should remain rain-free. WI vs ENG Pitch Report The average first innings score at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium is 133. The highest total posted at the venue is India’s 196-5 versus Bangladesh in this year’s T20 World Cup. They won that match by 50 runs. The team batting first would be targeting a score of around 180-190 runs, Toss: To Bowl Four of the last five T20Is played at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium have been won by the team batting first. However, both these teams love to chase and are likely to field first here.

Will West Indies beat Sri Lanka and win another bilateral series win to cap off an excellent year in the shortest format? Sri Lanka vs West Indies 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. SL vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis West Indies and Sri Lanka will face off in the second match of the series at Dambulla on Tuesday night. There’s a lot of similarity between these two Island nations. A new coach has taken charge of each side. Both sides had a very ordinary T20 world cup. They showed a lot of promise in white ball cricket at home of late though, with West Indies winning the series against South Africa and India, and Sri Lanka dominating Zimbabwe and Afghanistan. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka, put into bat, got their innings underway smoothly. Boundaries were hard come by initially, but the openers still kept the scoreboard ticking along nicely to get to 17/0 off the first couple of overs. Pathum Nissanka perished flashing at a wide one in the third, and Kusal Perera followed him to the hut pretty soon after losing his pole to a brilliant ball from Shamar Joseph. West Indies Preview West Indies openers Brandon King and Evin Lewis brought out a complete onslaught, making vital fifties to steer their chase towards the target. They tore into the hosts attack and were determined to go after the bowlers in the powerplay throwing caution to the wind. They shaved 74 runs off the target inside the powerplay, but kept going after the Sri Lankan bowlers without relenting. Weather Conditions Batters make merry on the strip here in Dambulla. If you look at the statistics from Men’s and Women’s T20I cricket here, the surfaces here have generally suited batters more. And if the bighitters find their range and get going fair too quickly, it’s going to be hard stopping them. The conditions for the first game were wasn’t ideal with a bit of drizzle around at different instances during the game, and the forecast suggests we are in for similar conditions for this fixture. SL vs WI Pitch Report The match is being played at the Rangiri Dambulla Stadium. West Indies will take heart from their dominating performance from the first game, while Sri Lanka will have to look to quickly reorganize and come back hard. Toss: To Bowl In this year so far, West Indies have gone on to win 8 out of 11 matches fielding first. With an impressive win record like that, they’re not going to back off from chasing a score if they win the toss. Sri Lanka’s two wins against West Indies in recent matches have come whenever they have defended a total. They were poor in defence of 180 in the first match and wouldn’t mind pushing West Indies out of their comfort zone, which is chasing totals.

India is currently on an eight-match winning streak against Bangladesh. The T20 champions lived up to the name in the first game as the young side humbled the experienced visitors to start the T20I series. Bowling first, Arshdeep Singh trapped the Bangladeshi openers with his swing in his first two overs. Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto slowed down India’s success with his 27 runs off 25 balls. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview Along with two debuts India also saw the return of Sanju Samson and Varun Charavarthy in the squad. Samson scored 29 off 19 in the first game.

He will open the innings with Abhishek Sharma. Sharma has 140 runs in six games played so far at a strike rate of 179.48. His short innings of 16 in 7 showed a glimpse of something big coming in the second game. He will be the batter to watch out for.  Bangladesh Preview It looks like Bangladesh has no answers when it comes to the ever-evolving format of cricket. They now have four losses in the last five T20Is played. Parvez Hossain Emon will open the inning with Litton Das. Das has been their leading run-scorer for the last two years.

Scotland vs Australia 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. SCT vs AUS Match Prediction & Analysis Australia absolutely annihilated Scotland in the first T20I in Edinburgh to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. The home side started out with good intent, but eventually couldn’t put up a tall enough score to challenge the Aussies. They will need to play out of their skins to get past this strong Aussie outfit. Otherwise, Australia are overwhelming favorites to make it 2-0 after this game.  TEAMS PREVIEW Scotland Preview Scotland started the first T20I on a positive note. At one stage, they were 101-3 inside 12 overs. However, their middle order faltered, and they ended up with an under-par score of 156-9.Β  Australia Preview Australia kicked off their white-ball tour of the UK in devastating style, trouncing Scotland by seven wickets in the first of three T20Is in Edinburgh on Wednesday. Travis Head’s blistering 25-ball 80 steered Australia to a swift victory, as they easily chased down a modest 155-run target in just 9.4 overs on a flat Edinburgh wicket. Weather Conditions The wicket at the Grange Cricket Club in Edinburgh is a batter’s paradise. The new ball bowlers will get some movement off the seam in the first couple of overs. But after that, batters can just settle in and smack the ball to all corners of the ground. Spinners will need bowl tight lines to keep the run flow in check. The pitch will slow down a little in the middle phase of the innings. Edinburgh will see sunny intervals and a moderate breeze throughout the day. We should get a full match. SCT vs AUS Pitch Report The average first innings score at the Grange Cricket Club is 175. The highest total posted at the venue is New Zealand’s mammoth 254/5 versus Scotland in 2022. If Australia bats first in this match, they might get close to that score. Scotland will need to score at least 200 runs and above to challenge this Australian batting unit.

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.
