Sydney Thunder vs Hobart Hurricanes 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. SYT vs HBH Match Prediction & Analysis The 2024/25 edition of the Big Bash League continues to deliver plenty of entertainment and excitement, and ahead of this game, all eight teams are separated in the table by only five points. The congested nature of the table owes something to the weather which prevented tournament pace-setters Sydney Sixers taking the field in their last match but also to the resurgence of Melbourne Stars who had looked down and out but have now won two in a row. TEAMS PREVIEW Sydney Thunder Preview Sydney Thunder have impressed so far in this campaign and although they lost their last game, against Brisbane Heat, they did well to even fulfil the fixture such was the length of their injury list! The on-field collision between Cameron Bancroft and Daniel Sams has already cost the team the services of the former for the rest of this BBL and this game is likely to come too soon for Sams who is recovering from concussion. There is good news on the availability front ahead of this match though with Australia’s latest golden-boy, opener Sam Konstas who made a name for himself with his confidence and brashness against India’s much proclaimed opening bowler Jasprit Bumrah, returning to the squad. He will open alongside the in-form captain David Warner. With the ball, Lockie Ferguson has been the standout performer this campaign although the 41 year old Dan Christian, who has come out of retirement due to the injury crisis, bowled with excellent control and variations in the last match. Hobart Hurricanes Preview Hobart Hurricanes made it four wins in a row when they beat Adelaide Strikers by five wickets with eight balls remaining on Sunday with the victory mainly thanks to the supreme lower-order hitting from Tim David who rightly took the Player of the Match award after hitting 62 not out from 28 balls. Earlier in the game, Afghan left-arm wrist spinner Waqar Salamkheil took 2/22 for the second game in a row and he will be hoping to find plenty of turn once more at the Sydney Showground. One thing the Hurricanes do have is plenty of match winners with the bat and opener Mitchell Owen has stood out thanks to his aggressive approach. With the ball, Chris Jordan continues to deliver wickets in spite of being in his 37th year. Weather Conditions According to the forecast there will be rain around Sydney for most of the day on Wednesday but it could all miss the Sydney Showground! If it does or if it doesn’t, the temperature will be no higher than 20 degrees, although the humidity levels will be touching 75% by the close. SYT vs HBH Pitch Report The Showground Stadium in Sydney is one of those venues where the batters never feel completely in and the bowlers always have a little encouragement. We predict a par score will be no higher than 175 and there will be assistance for the quicks as well as the spinners. Toss: To Bowl Although the last game at this venue was won by the team batting first, there had been a long advantage for the teams fielding first in previous fixtures. Therefore, we predict both sides will choose to bowl first if they win the toss.

Sydney Sixers vs Brisbane Heat 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. SYS vs BH Match Prediction & Analysis Brisbane Heat meet Sydney Sixers this Friday evening at Coffs Harbour in the 21st BBL 2024-25 match. The Sixers currently sit at the top of the table with 8 points from five games. The Heat are struggling in sixth place, managing just two wins from their five games. The Sixers already beat the Heat in their previous encounter this season and will be confident of repeating the feat against their struggling opponents.  TEAMS PREVIEW Sydney Sixers Preview After winning their first four matches, Sydney Sixers suffered their first defeat this season at the hands of Hobart Hurricanes. Chasing a target of 162 at Hobart, the Sixers fell way short as they were bundled out for just 111. Despite the loss, the Sixers wouldn’t be too perturbed as they have had a near-flawless campaign so far.  Brisbane Heat Preview Brisbane Heat have had a mixed campaign so far. They started the season with a bang, winning two games in a row. However, they have stumbled post that with three consecutive defeats, the last of which was against Melbourne Stars. The team will be counting on Nathan McSweeney to deliver another standout performance. McSweeney, who is the team’s second-highest run-getter with 129 runs in 5 innings, has the ability to anchor the innings and play the big knock when needed.  Weather Conditions The International Sports Stadium in Coffs Harbour presents a well-maintained, fast pitch ideal for T20 cricket. Expect good bounce and carry for the pacers, while spinners will find some turn and grip. The outfield is fast, promising high scores. Batters who can time the ball well will thrive, making for an exciting contest. The weather will be partly cloudy with chances of a passing shower or two in the afternoon. However, we should still get a full game. SYS vs BH Pitch Report The average first innings score at the International Sports Stadium is 168. The highest total posted here is Sydney Sixers’ 203/5 versus Adelaide Strikers in 2023. This is the only game at the venue that has been won by the team batting first.

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :Β New Zealand vs Sri Lanka 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 30 ,Mondayβ€‹β€‹π“πˆπŒπ„ :​ 11:45 PM IST​​​​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, New Zealandπ“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ :​​ 2nd T20 2024 After New Zealand fought back to win the opening T20I on Saturday, the Black Caps can secure the series on Monday against Sri Lanka. New Zealand 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. NZ vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis The first T20I of this series was a fascinating one with Sri Lanka seemingly cruising to their target of 173 when they were in control on 121 without loss, halfway through the 14th over. However, Jacob Duffy had other ideas as he dismissed Kusal Mendis, Kusal Perera and Kamindu Mendis in the space of four deliveries to turn the momentum New Zealand’s way. Ultimately, Sri Lanka were unable to turn the tide after that triple-strike and the game in Mount Maunganui was ultimately won by the hosts by eight runs. The question ahead of this clash is can Sri Lanka wrestle back the momentum, or will New Zealand now cruise through the rest of the series with ease? All will be revealed as we return to Mount Maunganui on Monday! TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview Although New Zealand won the opening game of the series in Mount Maunganui, there is plenty of room for improvement for Mitchell Santner’s side ahead of this match. Firstly, the top four batters in the order contributed scores of between eight and 15 before Daryl Mitchell hit 62 runs from 42 balls at number five and Michael Bracewell made 59 runs from 33 balls at number seven. Sri Lanka Preview Across the 40 overs of the opening game of the series, according to the win predictor, Sri Lanka were on track to go 1-0 up in the series for all but five of the overs.  Therefore, it is maybe only tweaks to the performance which is required from Charith Asalanka’s side, rather than wholesale changes, and they need to be able to stand up and be counted in the big moments. With the ball, Nuwan Thushara was the only member of the bowling attack to go wicketless but Binura Fernando, Maheesh Theekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga all picked up two dismissals each. Weather Conditions It’s going to be a fine and warm day in Mount Maunganui on Monday with the temperature up at 26 degrees during the early afternoon. This is an evening game with the temperature likely to drop down to 19 degrees but there will be no rain interruptions. NZ vs SL Pitch Report As we saw on Saturday, there is something for the bowlers in Mount Maunganui but when the batters get in they can also have success. We expect a par total of 180 with consistent bounce and some turn for the spinners. Toss: To Bowl It was Sri Lanka who won the toss on Saturday and chose to field first. Although they ultimately lost the game, they had the better of the conditions for batting so we predict that both captains will want to bowl first again.

SYS vs MLS Match Prediction & Analysis It is the Boxing Day clash in the Big Bash League 2024-25. The Sydney Sixers will look to build on the momentum as they take on the Melbourne Stars in the 11th game. The Sixers have made a strong start in the season and defeated the Sydney Thunder in their last game. The Melbourne Stars have struggled, going down against the Adelaide Strikers in their previous game.  The Melbourne Stars are searching for their first win in this game. They will be under pressure after three consecutive losses, and the players seem low on confidence. The Sydney Sixers have won both their games and have lost only once in the last five seasons against the Melbourne Stars. The Stars must take the challenge head-on to win this game, and it will be interesting to see if they are up for the task.  TEAMS PREVIEW Sydney Sixers Preview Moises Henriques and his team have made a strong start in the tournament. They started as one of the favourites and have lived up to with strong performances in both games. They defeated the Sydney Thunder in the last game by 5 wickets. They have a good record against the Melbourne Stars, and Henriques would like to win this game and retain the top spot on the points table.  Josh Phillippe and James Vince are a strong opening pair, and the team expects them to deliver an electrifying start. Henriques has a lot of experience and shall look to guide the middle order and add runs with Jack Edwards and Jordan Silk. Lachlan Shaw, Ben Dwarshuis, and Joel Davies add depth to the line-up and will look to add quick runs.  The bowling attack has delivered strong performances. Ben Dwarshuis and Akeal Hosein have used the new ball well, and the team expects early breakthroughs from the pair. Sean Abbott will aim to use his experience and bowl tight spells in the middle overs with Joel Davies and Jack Edwards. Todd Murphy adds depth to the bowling attack.  Melbourne Stars Preview It will be a massive test for Marcus Stoinis’ team in their 4th game. The team has looked rusty in the tournament and went down against the Adelaide Strikers in the last game by 15 runs. The batting lineup is inconsistent, and the bowling attack lacks teeth. It is a must-win game for the team, and it will be interesting to see if they are up for the challenge.  Sam Harper has been the only consistent batsman on the team, and he must deliver a strong start with Ben Duckett. Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell are the most experienced players in this team, and they will look to add runs in the middle order with Thomas Rogers. Hilton Cartwright, Beau Webster, and Tom Curran are powerful strikers and must do well.  The bowling attack hasn’t troubled the opponents so far in the tournament. Adam Milne and Peter Siddle must strike early, as the Sixers have their batters in good form. Middle overs will be important, and the team expects Maxwell and Tom Curran to do well. Doug Warren and Stoinis must do well in the supporting role. Weather Conditions The weather forecaster predicts clear skies over Sydney on December 26. The wicket has been a tough one to bat on this season, as the two-paced nature of the surface has created doubts in the batsmen’s minds. The average first innings score is 160 runs, and the team batting first would like to have 180 on the board.  SYS vs MLS Pitch Report Sydney Cricket Ground is not the easiest surface to bat on, and the batsmen must get their eyes in before playing their strokes. Fast bowlers get bounce and carry from the surface. It is also the best wicket for the spinners in Australia, as the ball turns sharply on this track. Toss: To Bowl The wicket at the Sydney Cricket Ground has been on the slower side this season. It won’t be an easy surface to set up a total with the bowlers finding assistance from the surface in the early overs. We expect the side winning the toss to invite the opposition to bat first on this wicket.

West Indies 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. WI vs BAN Match Prediction & Analysis Having just swept Bangladesh 3-0 in the ODI series, the West Indies now set their sights on repeating that performance in the T20 format. The action starts with the first match this Sunday at the Arnos Vale Ground in St Vincent. The Windies have consistently outplayed Bangladesh in T20s recently, making them the clear favorite to maintain their winning streak. TEAMS PREVIEW West Indies Preview West Indies are heading into this T20 series against Bangladesh with a lot of momentum after their strong ODI performance. T20 is their go-to format, making them even tougher opponents.  The return of Johnson Charles is a big boost. He’s a seasoned T20 batsman with over 7,000 runs and a blistering strike rate of 133. Captain Rovman Powell will be key in the middle order, and Evin Lewis, Brandon King, and Nicholas Pooran are expected to anchor the innings and take it deep. Bangladesh Preview After a disappointing 0-3 sweep in the ODI series, Bangladesh will be eager to turn things around. However, reversing their fortunes won’t be easy, given their ongoing six-match losing streak in the format. Much depends on Litton Das, whose leadership and recent tally of 199 runs at an average of 22.11 from the last 10 games will be key. The batting unit, aside from Litton, lacks experience. Tanzid Hasan and Jaker Ali are names to watch, as both have the potential to step up.  Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who has performed well in Tests and ODIs this year, could also make a difference. While his T20I contributions with the bat haven’t stood out, he has the ability to deliver quick runs down the order. His spin bowling could be decisive on a pitch that favors turn. Weather Conditions The Arnos Vale Ground in St. Vincent typically offers a good batting surface for T20 cricket. The pitch is generally flat and true, allowing batsmen to score freely. There’s usually some pace and bounce on offer for the bowlers, but it’s not overly challenging. As the game progresses, the pitch may slow down slightly, allowing spinners to come into play. Some showers are forecast in the afternoon, which might delay the game or lead to a shortened fixture. WI vs BAN Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Arnos Vale Ground is just 133. The highest total posted at the venue is Bangladesh’s 159-5 versus the Netherlands in this year’s T20 World Cup. If Bangladesh bat first in this match, they will target a score of around 160-170. The West Indies, however, with their battery of power hitters, will look for a score of around 180-200 if they get to bat first. Toss: To Bat Six of the seven T20Is played at the Arnos Vale Ground have been won by the team batting first. So it goes without saying that both teams will look to bat first here.

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 With the series already in hand, England will aim for a 3-0 whitewash when they face New Zealand in the third and final Test at Hamilton on Saturday. The Kiwis, who stunned India in their previous series, had hoped to mount a strong challenge on home turf. However, England has proven dominant in all facets of the game, securing a commanding 2-0 lead. However, recent form suggests that England have the edge in its encounter. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview After their triumphant series in India, New Zealand had positioned themselves as strong candidates for the WTC finals. But their fortunes took a nosedive at home after they lost the first Tests against England quite comprehensively. With the series now already gone, the Kiwis will look to save face by avoiding a whitewash. The hosts’ batting has been particularly disappointing, with openers Devon Conway and Tom Latham failing to fire, averaging under 25 across their four innings. Conway’s absence in the upcoming game due to injury adds to their woes but has paved the way for Will Young to step in. Young was one of New Zealand’s top performers against India, scoring 244 runs in 6 innings at an average of 49.  England Preview England have been nothing short of masterful on this tour, clinching a series victory in New Zealand for the first time in over 15 years with two thumping wins on the trot.  Harry Brook has been in sensational form (349 runs in 3 innings at an average of 116), leading the run-scoring charts with two centuries and a fifty. He’s been ably supported by Joe Root, Ollie Pope, and Jacob Bethell in the middle order, ensuring a consistent flow of runs.  Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley have provided a solid platform at the top, while captain Ben Stokes adds further depth to an already strong lineup. Weather Conditions Seddon Park in Hamilton, known for its batting-friendly conditions, offers a flat track that generally aids run-scoring, especially in the first two days. The pitch tends to slow down as the match progresses, but there’s usually enough in it for the bowlers by the third or fourth day. Fast bowlers might find some early movement, particularly with the new ball, but overall, it’s a venue where batsmen can play big innings. The outfield is quick, which can help in chasing down totals or accumulating runs quickly. The weather in Hamilton will be very warm in the first two days. The third day will be extremely cloudy while the fourth day might see some showers in the afternoon, which might interrupt the game. The final day of the match will have clear weather. NZ vs ENG Pitch Report The average first innings score at Seddon Park is 310. The average runs per wicket at this venue is 31.77. The team batting first will look to get to a score of around 350-400 runs. Toss: To Bowl Stats show that teams tend to do better when they field first at Seddon Park. So, the captain who wins the toss might choose to bowl.

BHR vs UAE Match Prediction & Analysis It is 1st game in the Gulf Cricket T20I Championship, 2024, and Bahrain will be up against the United Arab Emirates. It is the tournament’s first game, and both teams are looking to make a good start. The United Arab Emirates has a stronger team on paper and shall look to leverage it. Bahrain won’t like to go down without a tough fight, through the team has struggled in recent matches.  The United Arab Emirates has enjoyed a good record against Bahrain. They have won the last three games between the two teams. The team has a strong batting lineup which puts them in a good position. Bahrain has struggled with its form in recent matches, and they must punch above their weight to win this game. It will be interesting to see if they can match up to the challenge.   TEAMS PREVIEW Bahrain Preview Haider Butt and his men will face a tough challenge in this contest. Their recent performances against higher-ranked teams haven’t been good. The team has several problems up its sleeves with a batting lineup that has struggled. Butt shall expect a stronger show from his players in this contest.  The team expects a good start from Umer Toor and Asif Ali, as the UAE has an experienced bowling attack. The middle order has been one of the perennial concerns for the team in recent matches, and they need partnerships between Imran Anwar, Haider Butt, and Junaid Aziz. The team expects a good show in the lower middle order from Fiaz Ahmed and Rizwan Butt.  United Arab Emirates Preview Muhammad Waseem’s team will go into this game with confidence. They have a strong batting lineup and will field a full-strength side after a long gap. They have done well against Bahrain in recent matches. Waseem would like his players to take inspiration from those wins and start the tournament positively.  Muhammad Waseem is an experienced campaigner and shall look to deliver a good start with Vriitya Aravind. Alishan Sharaf must steer the innings in the middle order and add runs with Asif Khan and Basil Hameed. The team will expect runs in the lower middle order from Rahul Chopra and Ali Naseer as both of them are good hitters.  Junaid Siddique and Muhammad Jawadullah will look to strike early and put the side in a strong position. Basil Hameed has vast experience and must check the scoring rate in the middle overs with Ali Naseer. Simranjeet Kang and Muhammad Waseem add depth to the attack, making it strong. Weather Conditions The skies over Dubai will be clear, and we expect excellent batting conditions. The wicket is flat, and batsmen have scored runs on it easily. There will be little assistance for the bowlers at the start of the game. The side batting first shall look to put up 160 runs or more on the board. BHR vs UAE Pitch Report ICC Academy Ground, Dubai, has short boundaries around the square region, making run-scoring easy for batsmen. The wicket is flat, and the ball comes to the bat nicely. There isn’t much on this track for the fast bowlers, but spinners have done well as they can turn the ball. Toss: To Bowl The batting conditions are good at this venue. Teams chasing scores have an advantage on good batting surfaces, as defending totals is a big challenge. The side winning the toss won’t hesitate to bowl first.
