Delhi Capitals Women vs UP Warriorz Women, WPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​ Delhi Capitals Women vs UP Warriorz Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 22, Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Womens Premier League, 2025 Delhi Capitals Women have dominated UP Warriorz Women in the Women’s Premier League, winning four out of their five encounters. Delhi Capitals Women vs UP Warriorz 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. DCW vs UPW Match Prediction & Analysis Match eight of the 2025 Women’s Premier League brings us to the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium where Delhi Capitals Women meet UP Warriorz Women. Fresh from beating UP earlier this week, Delhi jumped to second place with that convincing victory. Things look bleak for UP though – they’re stuck at the bottom after dropping their last two matches. Given how both teams are playing, Delhi looks well-placed to come out on top again. TEAMS PREVIEW Delhi Capitals Preview Delhi Capitals Women have had a strong campaign so far, winning two out of their three games. Their most recent outing saw them secure a comfortable 7-wicket victory over UP Warriorz Women—who they’ll be facing again next—successfully chasing down a 167-run target with one delivery to spare. Skipper Meg Lanning anchored the chase with a fluent 69 off 49 balls, while Annabel Sutherland (41* off 35) and Marizanne Kapp (29* off 17) provided valuable support to see the team home. Lanning, Sutherland, and Kapp will be the core of Delhi’s batting order, and their performances will be key in the upcoming matches. One of them is likely to deliver another match-winning innings in the next game. Meanwhile, Jemimah Rodrigues has had a quiet start to the season, but given her class, a turnaround could be on the cards soon. On the bowling front, Sutherland has been Delhi’s most consistent performer, picking up five wickets in three matches at an economy of 8.50. Shikha Pandey and Minnu Mani have also chipped in with five wickets between them, and their contributions could be crucial in shaping the outcome of future games. UP Warriorz Preview UP Warriorz Women are struggling to find their rhythm this season, having suffered back-to-back losses, with their latest defeat coming against Delhi Capitals. The next few games give them a chance to regroup and work their way back into form. Kiran Navgire has been the standout performer with the bat, leading the team’s scoring charts with 66 runs in two innings at a blistering strike rate of 188.57. Shweta Sehrawat has chipped in with 53 runs across two matches, providing stability in the middle order. Deepti Sharma has added 46 runs so far and will be expected to deliver key contributions when needed. Sophie Ecclestone has led the bowling attack well, picking up three wickets in two outings while keeping her economy rate at 5.87. Grace Harris and Tahlia McGrath have found wickets too, but they’ll need to be sharper to contain Delhi’s batters. Weather Conditions The Chinnaswamy pitch shows a nice covering of grass but looks hard underneath – perfect for batters to play their shots. Expect good bounce and carry throughout. While spinners might not get much help, pacers could exploit some early movement under lights. The outfield is lightning quick as usual. Expect pleasant conditions in Bengaluru during the game with no chances of disruptions because of rain. DCW vs UPW Pitch Report Average first innings scores at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium hover around 150-160 runs, with dew likely to play a role later. The highest total posted at the venue is RCB Women’s 198-3 versus UP Warriorz Women, a game they won by 23 runs. Toss: To Bowl Teams batting second have found consistent success at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium. The numbers back this up – in last year’s Women’s Premier League, the chasing side walked away with wins in seven out of 11 matches here. Expect both teams to opt for bowling first if they win the toss.

Australia vs England, ICCCT, Today Match Prediction

Australia vs England, ICCCT, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​ Australia vs England 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 22, Saturday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore Cantt, Pakistan 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 4th ODI 2025 Australia and England begin their 2025 ICC Champions Trophy with a clash in Lahore! Australia 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. AUS vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis Whenever Australia and England go head to head in any sport, there is plenty at stake and this game will be no different as both look to get off to a winning start in Group B of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy. There is an Ashes series on the horizon for late in the year but all focus will be on this clash in Lahore as both sides look to put poor recent ODI performances and poor ICC Champions Trophy showing behind them. Australia may have won the last Cricket World Cup but they are without their top three pace bowlers in Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood so their attack may lack some of it’s usual potency. TEAMS PREVIEW Australia Preview After dominating the Test series and winning 2-0, the boot was on the other foot in the ODI series as Australia were beaten 2-0 without putting up a fight on their recent tour to Sri Lanka. As a result, Steven Smith’s side must raise their game ahead of this clash even if their opponents are also in disappointing form. For a proud cricketing nation like Australia, their recent record in the ICC Champions Trophy, where they haven’t won a game since 2009, make for painful reading, so they will be looking to their experienced heads to get them through this opener. Top of that list will be Travis Head who has an exceptional ODI record against England and captain Smith who has hit over 17,000 international runs. England Preview England have been a very disappointing ODI side since they won the 2019 Cricket World Cup courtesy of the now famous Super-Over against New Zealand at Lord’s. But with Brendan McCullum leading the side, hopes are high that they could find some form from nowhere and dominate this tournament with an aggressive batting style. Key to the team will be opener Ben Duckett who has just recovered from an injury but has an excellent record in this format, particularly against Australia. Phil Salt will take on the role of ‘pinch hitter’ and will look to clear the boundary at every opportunity in the powerplay. With the ball, Adil Rashid has a strong record against Australia and the pace of Jofra Archer is always a point of difference across any format, particularly when he is fully fit. Weather Conditions The forecast is for pleasant weather in Lahore throughout Saturday with the temperature up at 22 degrees from the first ball. Although this is a day-nighter, the temperature will not drop below 19 degrees.  AUS vs ENG Pitch Report As seen in the recently completed Pakistan Tri-Nation Series, this is a good batting wicket with players generally finding it easy to score runs at a steady pace outside of the powerplay. A par score will be around 350. Toss: To Bat There is an even spread of victories for teams batting first and bowling first in recent 50-over internationals at the Gaddafi Stadium. Humidity levels will increase in the second half of the game so we predict that both sides will want to bat first on Saturday.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​ Bangladesh vs India𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 20, Thursday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd ODI 2025 India to start their Champions Trophy campaign against the Noisy Neighbours. Pakistan 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. BAN vs IND Match Prediction & Analysis The wait is finally over for the Indian fans. Their team led by Rohit Sharma is set to kick off their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 campaign against Bangladesh at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai on 20th February from 2:30 pm onwards. India had their hands on the trophy back in 2013 under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. They lost to their arch-rivals Pakistan in the last edition which was held in 2017. India is set to miss Jaspreet Bumrah due to a back injury. Harshit Rana has been called into the squad as his replacement. India whitewashed England in the three-match ODI series at home recently. Rohit Sharma’s century in the second ODI followed by Virat Kohli’s half-century in the last ODI were the key takeaways for India from the series. Ravindra Jadeja picked six wickets in the series at an average of just 10.  TEAMS PREVIEW Bangladesh Preview With the exits of Tamim Iqbal and Shakib al Hasan, the Bangladesh team is now centered on Najmal Hossain Shanto, Mehidy Hasan Miraj, and Taskin Ahmed. Tanzid Hasan will open the innings with Soumya Sarkar. The duo has a combined average of 33 in last year’s games. Sarkar scored a half-century (73) in the last ODI against West Indies. Najmul Hossain Shanto will come at number three. Shanto has 337 runs at an average of 84 in the last six ODIs with a century and two half-centuries. He will be the batter to watch out for. All eyes will be on the Bangladeshi middle-order who have scored most of the runs in the last year. Mehidy Hasan Miraj will lead the middle order with Towhid Hridoy, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Mahmadullah. Miraz scored 305 runs in the 8 innings of the last year with three half-centuries. He averages 47 against India. Rahim played just 4 games in 2024, scoring 136 runs at an average of 68. He is the most prolific player when it comes to India with 750 runs in 25 innings. Mahmadullah scored 337 runs in 9 games of the last year with four half-centuries. He was their leading run-scorer. India Preview India will be high on confidence after winning the series against England at home. Rohit Sharma will open the innings with Shubhman Gill. Sharma scored a century in the second ODI of the series. Since 2023, Sharma has 1206 runs at an average above 50 with two centuries and 9 half-centuries. His average at Dubai is over 100. On the other hand, Gill has 1333 runs at an average of 51 in the last 29 games. He will be the batter to watch out for. Virat Kohli came back in the form with a half-century against England. Since 2023, Kohli has 1154 runs in 23 innings at an average above 60 with four centuries and 9 half centuries. Shreyas Iyer will come in the middle with KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, and Washington Sundar. Iyer has 973 runs in the last two years at an average of 51 with three centuries and 6 half-centuries. KL Rahul will be a threat for Bangladeshi bowlers in the middle. Rahul has 1033 runs in the last 26 ODIs at an average of 53. India has bolstered their army with all-rounders in the middle. Hardik Pandya has 287 runs in 12 innings with the bat and 23 wickets with the ball. Jadeja has been better than Pandya in this format since 2023 with 300-plus runs with the bat and 37 wickets with the ball. Weather Conditions The weather at  Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai is expected to be cloudy on match day, with temperatures ranging between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius. Winds will blow from the southeast at 8-19 km/h. It gives a good balance for both bowlers and batsmen. Bowlers can benefit from the pitch in the early stages, which offers a nice bounce. As the game goes on and the pitch gets older, batsmen can play their shots comfortably. BAN vs IND Pitch Report The game will be played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai on 20th February from 2:30 pm onwards. The stadium has a capacity of 25000 spectators. The stadium has hosted 13 Tests, 58 ODIs and 110 T20. Toss: To Bowl In 58 ODIs played here, the results have favored teams chasing the target on 34 occasions while 21 have been won by the teams chasing it. The average first-innings score is 218 with the highest total of 355. The team winning the toss should bowl first.

Pakistan vs New Zealand, ICCCT, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​ Pakistan vs New Zealand​ ​​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 19, Wednesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : National Stadium Karachi, Karachi East, Pakistan​𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st ODI 2025 We have waited for eight years but finally the ICC Champions Trophy returns on Wednesday as Pakistan host New Zealand in match one! Pakistan 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. TEAMS PREVIEW Pakistan Preview Pakistan may not be playing their best cricket at the moment but they are still a side who are packed with match-winners and top international players. Right-handed opener Babar Azam may not be in the best form of his career but he recently went past 6000 ODI runs and a player of his class will find form again at some point. Fortunately his opening partner, Fakhar Zaman, is hitting the ball cleanly and will be confident coming into this game. Pakistan’s most consistent batters in this format are skipper Mohammed Rizwan and Salman Agha who will bat at four and five. Between the pair, they have scored almost 60% of their team’s runs in their last two ODIs. New Zealand Preview New Zealand were without Lockie Ferguson, Ben Sears, Matt Henry and Rachin Ravindra for the final of the Pakistan Tri-Nation Series but still had more than enough in the locker to win the final against Pakistan on Sunday. Ahead of this opener, the mood-music is that only Matt Henry will return to the XI with Rachin Ravindra not far away but not worth risking at this stage. In the batting department, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson, Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips have all made big scores on this trip and every New Zealand side always has batting depth. With the ball, the returning Henry will lead the attack with Michael Bracewell alongside Mitchell Santner providing vital control with accurate spin bowling. Weather Conditions The game will get underway at 14:00 local time, the hottest time of the day with the sun blaring out and the temperature at 29 degrees. Even after sundown, it will still be over 24 degrees in Karachi throughout the evening. PAK vs NZ Pitch Report Sunday’s final of the Pakistan Tri-Nation Series showed that there is something for both the batters and bowlers. No batter made a score of over 57 and it was Pakistan’s 242 which was easily overhauled by New Zealand with 28 balls and five wickets in hand. A par total looks to be around 300 on a pitch with consistent bounce. Toss: To Bat Of the last ten ODIs at the National Stadium in Karachi, five have been won by the team fielding first with five won by the side bowling first! With the hottest weather of the day likely to be in the first innings, we predict that both captains will want to bat first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​ Oman vs United States of America​​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 18, Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 10:00 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Al​𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ICC Cricket World Cup League Two, 2023-27​ The top two go head to head in the Cricket World Cup League 2 on Tuesday in Al Amerat. Oman vs United States of America​ 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. OMA vs USA Match Prediction & Analysis This looks all set to be a cracking contest between the two sides who currently occupy the top places in the Cricket World Cup League 2! And although it is USA who have a two point lead over Oman, the teams could be level on 20 points, with a four point gap to Canada in third place after this contest has been completed. Oman have home advantage and have also had the better of USA in this format. For some that will be a surprise as USA made a good impression on home turn in the 2024 T20 World Cup but Oman are a real strong outfit themselves. We are expecting a very close contest, certainly a closer one than we saw one week ago when Oman got home with seven wickets to spare! TEAMS PREVIEW Oman Preview Although Oman have been clocking up the victories over recent games, they came very close to falling flat and ending in defeat in their last game against Namibia on Sunday. It was a very low-scoring affair, with the Namibians bowled out for 96 after an excellent bowling display from the hosts but their batting will need to go up a level for this game or else they will be in real trouble. Against Namibia, Oman hobbled over the line with only two wickets remaining and they will be looking to the top order of Aamir Kaleem, captain Jatinder Singh and Hammad Mirza to produce the goods in this game. United States of America Preview Although Oman failed to convince in their last game against Namibia, USA did not have the same problem, defeating the south Africans by 70 runs on Friday in Al Amerat. Controlled batting from opener Andries Gous and captain Monank Patel at number three set the platform for the side and although the upper middle-order failed there were plenty of lower order runs to help out. Those runs could be crucial once again in this match as every run will count in what is likely to be a close contest! With the ball, there are few pace bowlers at this level who can rival Saurabh Netravalkar for accuracy and ability to move the ball at pace. He comes into this game after taking 3/41 on Friday. Weather Conditions The forecast is for a beautiful day across Oman on Wednesday with the temperature above 25 degrees from start to finish. Expect sunny skies throughout with no chance of rain. OMA vs USA Pitch Report Although the Namibia versus Oman clash on Sunday made the pitch look like a bowler’s paradise, we expect the batters to dominate this time. A par score will be in the region of 280 on this surface. Toss: To Bat This will be an interesting toss as USA have won their recent games by batting first whereas Oman have had more joy when chasing. We predict that both teams will choose to bat first if they win the toss.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : New Zealand vs Pakistan 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 14, Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : National Bank of Pakistan Sports Complex, Karachi, Pakistan, Pakistan 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Final ODI 2025 In New Zealand’s last match against Pakistan in this tri-series, Glenn Phillips smashed an incredible unbeaten 106 off 74 balls. 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 New Zealand and Pakistan will face off in the Pakistan Tri-Nation Series final this Friday night in Karachi. The Kiwis have been the most dominant side in the tournament, coming into this match with back-to-back victories and plenty of confidence. Pakistan, on the other hand, may not have been flawless, but their familiarity with local conditions could work in their favor. With home support behind them, they won’t be easy to beat. That said, New Zealand look like the team to beat, making this final a thrilling battle between momentum and home advantage. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview New Zealand have been the standout team in the Pakistan Tri-Nation Series, securing a spot in the final after easing past both Pakistan and South Africa. They started strong with a commanding 78-run victory over the hosts before dismantling the Proteas by six wickets. With the title now within reach, New Zealand will aim to wrap up the series on a high. Kane Williamson has been the backbone of the batting lineup, racking up 191 runs in just two innings, including a century and a half-century. Daryl Mitchell has chipped in with 91 runs at an aggressive strike rate of 96.80, providing stability in the middle order. Pakistan Preview Pakistan didn’t get off to the best start in this tri-series, falling to New Zealand in their opening match. However, they responded well with a strong performance against South Africa, chasing down a huge total of 355 with one over to spare. That impressive win secured their place in the final. With home conditions on their side, they will look to carry that momentum into the title decider. Fakhar Zaman has been a key player at the top of the order, amassing 125 runs across two innings with a strike rate of 129. Salman Agha has also played a steady role, adding 174 runs from two innings, including a sublime 134 in the previous match against South Africa. Mohammad Rizwan too was among the runs in the last match, scoring a terrific unbeaten 122 to take his team home. His presence will give the batting order much-needed stability. The middle order remains an area of strength, with Tayyab Tahir and Khushdil Shah adding an aggressive touch when required. Weather Conditions The National Stadium in Karachi presents a balanced pitch with a slight inclination towards pace bowlers. The surface offers initial movement for seamers, especially in the first hour. As the game progresses, spinners will find increasing assistance with some turn and bounce. Batsmen can expect a fair batting track with good bounce, but they’ll need to apply themselves carefully. The pitch generally supports a competitive and exciting cricket match. The weather in Karachi will be very warm but clear. NZ vs PAK Pitch Report The average score batting first at the National Stadium in Karachi is 244. The highest total posted here is India’s 374-4 versus Hong Kong in the 2008 Asia Cup. We reckon a score of around 280-300 will be challenging in the final. Toss: To Bat Since this is the final, both teams are likely to prefer to bat first as that’s the safer bet in such a high-pressure game on a good wicket.

OMA vs USA Match Prediction & Analysis ICC League 2 is going to the crucial phase and teams are looking for vital points to make the cut into the top four. Oman are in superb form with 4 wins in their last 5 matches and will look to continue their momentum to move up the points table. USA have dominated the league so far and are comfortably placed at the top. They will look to cling on to that position with another win. We can expect a good contest between two good teams.  TEAMS PREVIEW Oman Preview Oman were bowled out for a score of 146 runs in 37.2 overs last match. Opener Jatinder Singh (25 runs) was their top scorer with the bat last game. All their other batters were dismissed for low scores and no other batter crossed the 20-run mark. They slumped from 30/0 to 123/9 before their last wicket pair added vital 23 runs. But they eventually lost the match failing to chase 170 runs.  Their bowlers bowled the opposition to 169 runs in their 46.3 overs in the last game. Sanmay Srinivatsa was good with the ball with figures of 10–1-56-4. Sufyan Mehmood and Shakeel Ahmed chipped with 2 wickets each in the match. Jay Odedara chipped with a vital spell of 1/26 in the match.  United States of America Preview USA posted a massive total of 293 runs in their last game in a rain curtailed 43 overs. Andries Gois (76 runs) and Monank Patel (65 runs) set the platform with their fifties while Milind Kumar’s 34-ball 54 took them to a superb total. Saiteja Mukkamela, Harmeet Singh, Sanjay Krishnamurthi and Van Schalwyk chipped in with vital cameos at the other end.  Their bowlers bundled the opposition to 179/10 runs in the 40.2 overs last game.  Milind Kumar was the top wicket taker with 4/56 last game. Saurabh Netravalkar, Van Schalwyk, N Kenjige and Harmeet Singh bowled together as a unit to take wickets and strangle the opposition in the last game.  Weather Conditions Al Amerat is expected to have hot and humid weather during the match. And it is expected to have no rain delays in the match.  OMA vs USA Pitch Report Al Amerat will be slow track and batting will not be easy in this match. The pitch have aided the bowlers in the matches played so far.  Toss: To Bat Teams will opt to bat first in this pitch as it will be very good for bowling as the game progresses as it slows down and last 3 out of 4 matches are won by teams batting first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sri Lanka vs Australia ​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 12, Wednesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 09:30 AM IST​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium, Colombo, Sri Lanka​𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st ODI 2025 Sri Lanka 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. SL vs AUS Match Prediction & Analysis After convincingly winning the two-match Test series, Australia will take on Sri Lanka before they head to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The ODI will be played at R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo on 12th February from 9:30 am onwards. These matches will be the last chance for both teams to refine their strategies and finalize their best playing combinations ahead of the Champions Trophy. Australia beat Sri Lanka in both Tests earlier. In the first Test, they won by 9 wickets after Steve Smith and Alex Carey scored centuries. On the other hand, they posted a massive victory by an innings and 242 runs with Khwaja hitting a double ton followed by Smith scoring his consecutive century. Matthew Kuhnemann picked up 16 wickets in two Tests. His form has raised Australia’s hopes for the upcoming Champions Trophy where most of the pitches will be Spin-friendly. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka will go ahead with the same eleven players that played against New Zealand. Pathum Nissanka will open the innings with Avishka Fernando. Nissanka has 766 runs in the last 17 ODIs played in Sri Lanka. This includes a 210-run knock along with two hundreds and five fifties. His partner averages just above thirty. Kusal Mendis will come at number three. He will be the batter to watch out for. In 2024, Mendis scored 742 runs at an average of 53. Out of this 638 runs came in Sri Lanka at an average of 58. He has a fifty-plus score in every three games he has played. Kamindu Mendis will partner up with skipper Charith Asalanka and Janith Liyanage in the middle. Mendis averages above 50 in the last 6 ODIs he has played. Asalanka has been in terrific form with the ball and the bat for the last two years. In 16 games he has scored 605 runs at an average of 51. With the ball, he has 14 wickets in the last 14 games he has bowled in Sri Lanka at an average below 20. Liya nage also averages above 45 in the middle. He can fix his place in the team for the upcoming year if he survives the Aussie attack. Australia Preview Australia will be looking forward to the series as a practice for the upcoming Champions Trophy. Matthew Short will open the innings with Jake Fraser-McGurk.  The duo has failed to impress in the last five ODIs with their cumulative batting average below 25. Travis Head might be picked above Fraser-McGruk. Head missed the series against Pakistan. But he has 248 runs in the last 4 ODIs he played at an average of 82. Surprisingly, Head is the only Aussie batter to have a century since the start of the last year. He will be the player to watch out for. Steven Smith will come at number three. Smith has been their leading run-scorer since last year. He has 306 runs in 10 ODIs at an average of 43. Josh Inglis will come in the middle with Aaron Hardie, Alex Carey, and Marnus Labuschagne. Inglis has 219 runs at an average of 36 since the last year. He had helped Australia win the World Cup game against Sri Lanka. Both Hardie and Labuschagne have less than 150 runs each in the last 7 innings. Australia might include Glen Maxwell who is currently out of form. Alex Carey has 164 runs in the four ODIs he played since the start of the last year with an average of 82. Weather Conditions The weather at R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo is expected to be cloudy on match day, with temperatures ranging between 23 and 32 degrees Celsius. Winds will blow from the southeast at 6-11 km/h. It gives a good balance for both bowlers and batsmen. Bowlers can benefit from the pitch in the early stages, which offers a nice bounce. As the game goes on and the pitch gets older, batsmen can play their shots comfortably. SL vs AUS Pitch Report The game will be played at R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo on 12th February from 9:30 am onwards. The stadium has a capacity of 35000 spectators. The stadium has hosted 8 Tests, 167 ODIs and 58 T20s.  Toss: To Bat In 167 ODIs played here, the results have favored teams defending the target on 90 occasions while 65 have been won by the teams chasing it. The average first-innings score is 231 with the highest total of 375. The team winning the toss should bat first.

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 India made it another four wicket win to lead this ODI series 2-0 with just this remaining game in Ahmedabad to go. For the hosts, the series has already been an excellent exercise as they ramp up their preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy later this month, whereas for England, this tour has been something of a disaster, losing six of the seven matches across T20Is and ODIs. Ahmedabad is a city where India have an excellent record across all formats and England have also struggled at the venue so it could well be another triumph for the hosts on Wednesday! Both teams do have form players with India’s captain Rohit Sharma along with Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja impressing. For England, only really Ben Duckett and Joe Root can be said to be playing anywhere near their top level. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview After winning the series opener by four wickets and with 68 balls remaining in Nagpur, India opted to make two changes for the second ODI with Virat Kohli returning alongside spinner Varun Chakravarthy who made his ODI debut. Jashasvi Jaiswal, who himself had debuted in the opener, missed out along with left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav. Those changes show just how much depth India have in this format and it was no surprise to see them beat England again, with the result not looking in doubt throughout the entirety of the chase! Expect the likes of Kohli, Harduk Padya and KL Rahul to be pushed up the order a little in this game to give them as much opportunity as possible to maximise time in the middle ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy. Harshit Rana and Mohammed Shami are both likely to play again as they look to build up their fitness ahead of the tournament. England Preview England’s torrid tour of India will conclude after this game and coach Brendan McCullum will be hoping that he can inspire his charges to the second win of the trip! He should have a strengthened side for this game with pace bowler Jofra Archer coming back after being rested in Cuttack and keeper-batter Jamie Smith now fully fit after a calf issue had sidelined him over the previous ten days. There are some positives for England with all of the top six making scores between 26 and 69 on Sunday, including Ben Duckett and Joe Root making half-centuries. They really need someone to kick on in this ODI though and help their bowlers who have struggled to keep the lid on India’s run-scoring when chasing. Adil Rashid has been consistent, as has Jamie Overton but England will be hoping that the duo of Mark Wood and Jofra Archer can really cause problems with pace in Ahmedabad. Weather Conditions According to the forecast, this game will start with the temperature at 28 degrees, and in spite of being a day-nighter, also finish with the same temperature. In the meantime it will get as high as 32 degrees on a day which will be cloudless. IND vs ENG Pitch Report The Narendra Modi Stadium has been a spinners paradise in some Test matches previously but in ODIs and T20s it tends to be an excellent surface for batting on. As a result, we expect to see a strong batting surface with a par score of 350+. Toss: To Bowl England have lost both games in the series after winning the toss and choosing to bat first. Therefore, we predict that whoever wins the toss ahead of this ODI will elect to bowl first.
