𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : South Africa vs India𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 08, Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 20:30 PM IST​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Hollywoodbets Kingsmead Stadium Cricket Ground, Durban, South Africa𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 1st T20I 2024 Big test for India’s bowlers against South Africa’s batting might Australia 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. RSA vs IND Match Prediction & Analysis It is the first game of the four-match series, and hosts South Africa will look for an early lead as they take on India. The last time the two teams met, the Indians won in the final of the ICC T20 World Cup. Indian cricket has hit a low since then with the home series loss against New Zealand. They will look for a strong comeback as the South Africans look to ride their good form at home and win this game.  TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview Aiden Markram and his men will look to avenge the loss in the World Cup final. It was their game to win, but some poor show towards the end cost them their big moment under the sun. A lot has happened since then, and the team looks more confident. Markram would expect his team to leverage the home conditions in this contest.  India Preview It would be an understatement to say that Suryakumar Yadav’s team will be under pressure in this game. The T20 World Champions have had a memorable year in this format, with only one loss in 23 games. However, the recent Test Series loss against New Zealand has put this team under immense pressure. They don’t have the best record on South African soil, and Yadav wants to get the best out of his young players to take the lead in the series.  Weather Conditions There are predictions for rain in Durban, and the weather is expected to remain highly overcast. The moisture on the wicket will make it challenging for the batsmen. The average first-innings score here is 153 runs, and the team batting first in these conditions would be happy to have 170 on the board.  RSA vs IND Pitch Report Fast bowlers have always enjoyed bowling at Kingsmead, Durban, as the pitch offers pace and bounce. Batsmen have to get their eyes in on the wicket before they start playing their shots, and it is easy with time as the ball comes onto the bat quickly, allowing stroke-making. Toss: To Bowl The wicket will be challenging to bat on in the first few overs as the fast bowlers can move the ball. The batting conditions tend to improve at this venue in the second half. The side winning the toss shall look to take advantage of the surface by bowling first.

West Indies vs England, ENG vs WI 2024, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : West Indies vs England𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 06, Wednesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 23:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados​𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 3rd ODI 2024 After a brilliant captain’s performance from Liam Livingstone on Saturday, this series comes down to a day-night-decider in Barbados! 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 No matter the length of a bi-lateral series, the organisers always want to see a final match with something riding on it and that is exactly what the two sets of players, the supporters in the ground and the TV viewers will get at the Kensington Oval on Wednesday. That said, for much of the game on Saturday, it looked as though West Indies would easily wrap up the series 2-0 but some intelligent, controlled and ultimately powerful batting from Sam Curran and Liam Livingstone got England over the line with plenty of time to spare. TEAMS PREVIEW West Indies Preview There are some question marks over the fitness of Evin Lewis who hobbled away from the final seven overs of Saturday’s game but he is expected to be fit to play in this match and West Indies will be keen to see it happen after he impressed so much with the bat in the opening ODI. Across their side, there were impressive innings from Keacy Carty, captain Shai Hope and Sherfane Rutherford in the second ODI with the latter coming into this game boasting a record of four successive ODI half-centuries. Carty chanced his arm on Saturday and we expect to see him do the same and play the aggressor role when he comes to the crease. England Preview It was an incredible victory for England and their supporters in Antigua on Saturday with plenty of notable happenings taking place. The question is though, can their stand-in captain, Liam Livingstone lead them to more success and a series win on Wednesday? If he is to do so then we may well see him chopping and changing his bowlers on a regular basis once more. On Saturday he used nine bowlers in total, only the second time England have done that and the 19th occurrence ever in ODI cricket. However, it seems to work well for the tourists who have won both times they have used nine bowlers! Weather Conditions It will be humid from start to finish of this day-night ODI and there could well be some moisture in the pitch as well with plenty of rain forecast in the days before the game. The current forecast is for no rain during the match but that could change nearer the time and it will definitely be hot with the temperature expected to get above 30 degrees. WI vs ENG Pitch Report Although this pitch has sometimes been as flat as a pancake in recent Test matches, in ODIs it has been one where bowlers have managed to get on top of the batters. In the last game in this format at this venue, 15 wickets fell for only 397 runs and we could well see batters struggling on a two-paced wicket once more. Toss: To Bowl A look at the history books, the overhead conditions and moisture in the pitch should give the captains an easy decision to make at the toss on Wednesday. Our prediction is that both skippers will want to bowl first ahead of this game.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Nepal vs Scotland 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 04, Monday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 10:00 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Praire View Ground, Houston, USA 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ ICC Cricket World Cup League Two, 2023-27 Scotland look to move ahead in the points table against struggling Nepal Nepal vs Scotland 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. NEP vs SCT Match Prediction & Analysis ICC Cricket World Cup League is a competition between associate nations where every team play each other league stage for qualification to CWC2027. Every win is goldust in this format as these teams play for a place in Cricket World Cup 2027. Nepal has been struggling in the league so far and searching for a big turnaround with a victory in this match. Scotland are currently in the third place in the points table and will look to boost their campaign with a win and will look for crucial points from every match they play.  TEAMS PREVIEW Nepal Preview Nepal were bowled out for 244 runs chasing   282 runs in their last game. Anil Shah led their batting at the top making 52 runs. Kushal Bhurtel (29 runs), Kushal Malla (33 runs), Dipendra Singh (31 runs) and Sompal Kami (46 runs) chipped in with cameos in the middle order but failed to their team cross the line.  Scotland Preview Scotland made a score of 317/5 in their 50 overs in their last game. Brandon McMullen was phenomenal making 151 runs off 140 balls. Their batters Charlie Tear (51 runs) Berrington (26 runs) and M Leask (33 runs) played good cameos and take them past the 300-run mark.  Their bowlers bowled the opposition for 246 runs in their 44 overs. Jack Jarvis was their star perfomer with 4/40 in the match. Brad Currie and Mark Watt chipped in with 2 wickets each while Brandon McMullen and Michael Leask took a wicket each in the match.  Weather Conditions Houston will have bright and sunny weather on the match day with no weather interruptions expected as per forecasters.  NEP vs SCT Pitch Report Houston will be good track to bat with good bounce and carry.

West Indies vs England, ENG vs WI 2024, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : West Indies vs England𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 02, Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:00 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, Saint George, Antigua and Barbuda𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 2nd ODI 2024 West Indies’ hunt for a series win against England Brisbane Heat Women vs Hobart Hurricanes 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. WI vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis Hosts West Indies have taken a 1-0 lead in the three-match series against England. It was a good show from the team, which has struggled in recent games. The West Indies won by 8 wickets under the DLS method in a rain-curtailed game. The hosts must build on the momentum as the young English side aims to make a strong comeback.  West Indies haven’t been consistent in the last 12 months. They have put themselves in tight situations after starting the series on a win. The English side has a good record against the West Indies, and they will look to draw inspiration from their past victories. Both teams will play hard cricket in this game, and we expect a good contest.  TEAMS PREVIEW West Indies Preview Shai Hope will be happy with the team’s performance in the last game. It was a clinical performance from their batsmen and bowlers as they rode their way to an easy win. However, the team must guard against complacency as they have struggled with consistency. The English side will come hard at them, and Hope needs a good show from his players.   England Preview Liam Livingstone would want to get over the poor show in the last game. They struggled with the bat, and none of their batsmen dominated the bowlers. The team has good firepower with the bat, and Livingstone would want his batsmen to stick to their basic strength and take on the bowlers.  Philip Salt and Will Jacks are good stroke players and will look to deliver an electrifying start in this game. Jacob Bethell, Jordan Cox, and Liam Livingstone must build partnerships in the middle order. They have depth in their batting lineup and expect quick runs from Sam Curran, Jamie Overton, and Dan Mousley.  Weather Conditions There are predictions for overcast conditions and rain in Antigua on November 2. The wicket looked slow in the last game, and we expect a similar track for this game. The average first-innings score in the last two years has been 263 runs. The team batting first will be happy to have 300 runs on the board. WI vs ENG Pitch Report Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua, has been a good venue for batsmen. The shorter boundaries allow them to score runs quickly, and the ball comes to the bat nicely. Fast bowlers will enjoy bowling with the new ball, and spinners also do well on this track as the game progresses. Toss: To Bowl In the last six games, the team that chased the score won. It is a difficult wicket to set up a score and defend it as the conditions improve for batting as the game progresses. The side winning the toss would look to bowl first and restrict the opposition to a small total.

India vs New Zealand, IND vs NZ 2024, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India vs New Zealand𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 24, Thursday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 09:30 AM IST​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune, India𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 2nd Test 2024 Will the hosts bounce back with a win in Pune and draw the series level? Can visitors do the unthinkable, securing a test series in India? 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 New Zealand bowlers took full advantage of favourable overcast conditions on the second day of the first test to bundle India out for 46, snatching the initiative. Although India did well to recover in the third innings and posted a 400+ total, it was never going to be enough to trouble a resurgent Kiwi side. They were sweating on Kane Williamson’s fitness, but reports are out confirming that the Kiwi legend is likely to miss another test to allow for more time to recover from an injury. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview The Bengaluru test worked in mysterious ways for the hosts. They folded to their lowest total (46) ever against New Zealand and then orchestrated a brave rear-guard in their second innings to end up with the highest innings total of the match (462), but it was nowhere near enough to stop the Kiwis drawing first blood in the series. Having elected to bat first, India showed no real intent to accumulate runs facing up to a lethal pace attack charging in with their tails up. They soaked up 31 overs and had just 46 runs on the board to show for it, as they struggled coming to grips with the Kiwi pacers. New Zealand Preview New Zealand are on cloud nine at the moment. They earned a hard-fought victory against India on Indian soil, all without the services of their finest batsmen ever, Kane Williamson. They really didn’t feel Kane’s absence, thanks to the manner in which the Indian batsmen meekly surrendered in the first innings. Rachin Ravindra impressed with a man of the match performance, notching up his first test hundred against India in the second innings and seeing off the chase in the fourth innings at Bengaluru, a venue that’s so close to his heart. Devon Conway showed great application in the second innings and was crucial to New Zealand’s chances of making a huge score, but he was dismissed nine runs shy of what would have been a terrific century. Will Young got solid starts in both the innings and helped himself to good form going into the second test. Weather Conditions The pitch flattens out over time and gets easier to bat on as the match progresses, so teams batting second can truly capitalize and put a huge total on board. In general, there is quite a bit of assistance for both spinners and pacers, but spinners usually dominate proceedings in the latter part of the test. Runs in the first and second innings are crucial, as the wicket could get a little tricky to bat on with the ball starting to turn square. Weather-wise, the forecast is sunny for the first three days with the chances of rain increasing over the last two days. IND vs NZ Pitch Report The match will be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. India lost their last match to Australia 5 years ago, courtesy a spin-bowling masterclass from left arm spinner Steve O’Keefe who outdid the hosts’ spinners in both innings. Toss: To Bowl Pune is one of those venues where losing the toss wouldn’t put you at a disadvantage straightaway. But, if the wicket has a bit of a green tinge to it and the conditions are conducive to bowlers, it’s always safe to field first.

Sri Lanka vs West Indies, SL vs WI 2024, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sri Lanka vs West Indies𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 20, Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele, Sri Lanka𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 1st ODI 2024 Will West Indies manufacture a way to overcome a formidable Sri Lankan side in their fortress? 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 Having come back from behind to claim the T20I series, hosts Sri Lanka gear up for their next challenge — taking on a circumspect West Indies side in one of their strongest formats at home. West Indies, however, need to quickly regroup following their series loss. Preparing themselves for the gruelling ODIs ahead is going to take a big mental shift. Having bossed the opening T20, West Indies would be kicking themselves at not being able to carry their momentum from the first T20I into the second and third match. With a dominant win like that, they might have had their sights on rounding off a stellar year with yet another trophy to add to their cabinet. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview A come-from-behind series victory is always special and Sri Lankan players will feel positive heading into the ODI leg of the tour with a massive confidence boost. Making the transition from T20 to ODI shouldn’t be a problem for the hosts, because the core of the team is still going to be intact. There’s the impressive Pathum Nissanka up top, offering solidity. And partnering him will be Avishka Fernando with Kusal Mendis slotting in at #3 to keep the runs flowing early on in the game. West Indies Preview Having failed the Lankan spin challenge in the last two T20s, West Indies batters are now faced with the difficult prospect of taking on an equally dangerous spin attack on testing pitches in a longer format— and it doesn’t bode well at all for them. Besides, ODI is not a format that West Indies really fancy their chances in. They wouldn’t usually back themselves to win in the ODIs against most sides in the world, like they would in the T20s. Worse yet, with just 3 wins in 17 ODI matches in this part of the world, West Indies have always found Sri Lanka a tough place to visit. Weather Conditions This track has been predominantly good for batting, with the average score in the past 4 years ranging between 260 to 310. Batsmen, if they set up a platform seeing off the early spell from swing bowlers, can keep the scoreboard ticking over nicely. The wicket generally remains true to its character for most part of the match, however, at instances, has slowed down bringing spinners into play. Weather-wise, it’s looking good and the forecast for the game doesn’t stoke any concerns. SL vs WI Pitch Report A change in format and a change in venue too. Pallekele International Cricket Stadium will be hosting all the three ODIs of this series. The hosts have a successful track record of taking on their opposition here, with 9 wins from 12 matches in the past four years. Toss: To Bat Although the outcome of the toss doesn’t influence the result here, teams chasing have done well in day night fixtures, winning 9 out of 14 games, in which a game was abandoned and didn’t produce a result. Although Sri Lanka, of late, has had a tendency to bat first and put runs on the board, it would be interesting to see what they decide to do in this case.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sri Lanka vs West Indies𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 17, Thursday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:00 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium, Dambulla, Sri Lanka𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 3rd T20 2024 With Sri Lanka coming back from behind to draw level, who’ll take the win in the decider? Can West Indies still find a way to make runs against quality spin? 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. SL vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis Sri Lanka and West Indies are all set to square off against each other in the series decider to see who walks away with the trophy. The third T20 of the series gets underway in Dambulla’s Rangiri stadium on the 17th of October, with the series hanging in the balance at 1-1. West Indies stunned Sri Lanka with a powerful batting display in helpful batting conditions to take a 1-0 lead in the series. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lankan players, their spinners in particular, showed strong character and bounced back in style with an emphatic win in the second T20 to keep the series alive, following a disappointing loss in the first. West Indies Preview The dichotomy of the West Indies batting attack never ceases to amaze. In the first T20, their openers put on an exhibition of brute-force batting to make short work of a 170 chase on a good batting strip where they knew Sri Lanka’s spinners would not be effective. But their batsmen didn’t bother fighting and surrendered meekly to the same spinners on a typical Sri Lankan wicket that spun more than expected. They were skittled out for 89, exposing that they’re still vulnerable to quality spin in trying conditions. With the series on the line, the third T20 is going to feature another spinning wicket so it’s hard to tell which West Indies line-up would turn up on the day. Weather Conditions The wicket took spin from ball one, making it difficult for run scoring. New batsmen can find it incredibly hard to walk in and start scoring straightaway, as spinners and pace-off bowlers can be tricky to negotiate in the middle overs. If a used surface with low and slow bounce gets served up, spinners will feel right at home. The weather forecast for the game is clear and we’re in for an exciting finish to this T20 series. SL vs WI Pitch Report The match is all set to happen at Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium. Toss: To Bowl Setting a total has a definite advantage in this venue, where teams batting first have won four out of five games. Sri Lanka batted first in both matches, but they applied themselves to a difficult pitch to get up to a more than par score. They wouldn’t mind batting first again on this strip because they know they’ve more than a few spinners to try and put the West Indies batters under the pump in the second innings. West Indies wouldn’t want to read too much into their dismal effort with the bat in the second T20. It’s a fresh day and they’d be looking to chase with better intent and planning.

AUSW vs RSAW Match Prediction & Analysis We are in the 1st Semifinal of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, 2024. In this game, the defending champions, Australia Women, will be up against South Africa Women. The Australians have been clinical in the tournament, winning all their league matches, and shall look to carry the form forward. South Africa Women have also displayed good form and shall aim to put up a good fight.   South Africa Women have a poor record against Australia Women. They have won only once against them in the past. While their batters are in good form, the team will need a strong show from the bowling attack to win this game. Australia Women haven’t lost a World Cup game in the last three editions, and it will be interesting to see if the South Africans can produce a surprise.  TEAMS PREVIEW Australia Preview It has been a textbook performance from the Australians so far. They have won all four games, and Tahlia McGrath has led the side well without skipper Alyssa Healy, who is nursing an injury. Barring the tournament’s first edition in 2009, they have never lost in the semifinal, and McGrath would look to extend this record with another clinical performance.   South Africa Preview Laura Wolvaardt and her team have enjoyed a good run in the tournament. They won three out of their four games and finished ahead of England Women on the points table. It was a good show by the team in their last game against Bangladesh Women, winning by 7 wickets. They will face their toughest challenge in this tournament, and Wolvaardt will look to lead from the front and win.   Weather Conditions Dubai will have clear skies and great weather conditions. It will be a flat surface, allowing batters to play safely. There isn’t much on this track for the fast bowlers, but spinners can trouble the batters. The average first innings score is around 150 runs, and the side batting first would like 170 runs on the board. AUSW vs RSAW Pitch Report Dubai International Cricket Stadium has a great pitch and a fast outfield, aiding the batters. Fast bowlers have always struggled as there isn’t much on the surface, and they need to use their variations well. Spinners have enjoyed a good run here as the ball turns a bit.  Toss: To Bowl Chasing scores at this venue is easy as the wicket stays true throughout the game. We have seen big run chases at this venue, and in the last four games, the team chasing the score has won three times. The side winning the toss will prefer to bowl first and restrict the opposition to a small total.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India vs New Zealand𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 16, Wednesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 09:30 AM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : 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.
