𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : South Africa vs India𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 15, Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 20:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : DP World Wanderers Stadium, Sandton, South Africa𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 4th T20I 2024 India have a very good record at the Wanderers, winning four of the six T20Is they have played here. South Africa vs India 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’s all coming down to this Friday! South Africa and India are going head-to-head one last time in the T20 series, this time at the Wanderers. India lead the four-match series 2-1, after pulling off a thrilling win in the last match. So, it’s do-or-die for the home team if they want to tie things up. India’s had a lot of success at the Wanderers and they’re playing well right now, so the Proteas need to bring their A-game if they want to come out on top. TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview South Africa fell short by 11 runs in their pursuit of a stiff 220-run target at Centurion. Marco Jansen’s (54 off 17) sensational effort at the end and Heinrich Klaasen (41 off 23) brief assault took them close, but they were never really in the chase. The game slipped away from the Proteas due to the 19 extras they allowed, compared to just 6 from India. India Preview Tilak Varma’s spectacular first T20I century powered India to an 11-run victory, securing a 2-1 series lead. His rapid partnership with Abhishek Sharma (50 off 25) made the most of the PowerPlay, and Varma continued his onslaught even as South Africa tried to regain control. India’s total of 219/6 proved too much for the hosts to chase down. Weather Conditions Johannesburg’s Wanderers Stadium is known for a pitch that’s fast and offers lively bounce. While pace bowlers will get some movement off the surface at the start, batters will likely find it easy to score runs thanks to the consistent pace and bounce. Spinners will need to be very precise with their deliveries, as the pitch won’t offer much spin. The weather in Johannesburg will be nice and pleasant. There is no forecast of rain, and we should get a full match. RSA vs IND Pitch Report The average first innings score at Wanderers is 174. The highest total posted at the venue is West Indies’ 236-6 while chasing a target of 232 against South Africa in 2015. This will likely be another high-scoring contest, and the team batting first will look to get a score of around 200-210 runs. Toss: To Bat Last year, both the men’s T20Is played at the Wanderers Stadium were won by the team batting first. This will likely prompt both captains to bat first in this game.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : West Indies vs England𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 15, Friday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 01:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Daren Sammy Cricket Ground, Gros Islet, Saint Lucia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd T20I 2024 With three games of the series to go, England can wrap it up at the earliest opportunity when they take on West Indies in Gros Islet. 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 This T20I series followed immediately after West Indies triumphed in the ODI series 2-1, but there has been no momentum taken into this shorter format with England cruising to two victories in Barbados. But a switch of islands, and a new ground in the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, could be just what West Indies need after being out-played in both of the openers. Unsurprisingly, there have been changes to West Indies’ squad ahead of this game and the home supporters will be desperate to see them make a difference and keep the series alive. TEAMS PREVIEW West Indies Preview After two T20Is with no batter making a half-century and only five wickets taken in total by the bowling attack, something is going to have to change for West Indies in this game. It might need Romario Shepherd, their leading wicket taker with three dismissals and their second highest run scorer in the series, to go up the order, or it may be that the returning Alzarri Joseph is able to give them enough aggression with the ball to stop England’s attacking run scoring approach. England Preview For England, this series has been a real breath of fresh air after they lost the ODIs and were accused in some quarters of not taking white ball cricket seriously enough. However, the return of captain Jos Buttler has proved to be a huge plus for the side with his calm leadership a feature of both T20Is in the series so far. Weather Conditions Typical Caribbean weather conditions are forecast for this game with humidity high throughout and the threat of rain never too far away. Equally, it will be very warm and it would be a surprise to see any of the players in the field without plenty of sweat on their shirts! WI vs ENG Pitch Report This is a good batting wicket in Gros Islet and one where India skipper Rohit Sharma hit 92 runs from 41 balls in the last T20I here. Equally, in the last head to head between England and West Indies at this venue, Phil Salt also produced a Player of the Match performance so expect good pace in the wicket and the top order batters will be able to take full advantage during the power-play. Toss: To Bowl With four of the last five T20Is at this venue won by the team batting first, we expect both sides to want to post a total in the first innings of the game. This will be a change for England who have won both of the games in this series after fielding first and then chasing down a total.

AUS vs PAK Pitch Report The Gabba, Brisbane is going to host the opening match of the T20I series played between Australia and Pakistan.Australia will take heart from the fact that they have won their last four matches played against Pakistan.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sri Lanka vs New Zealand𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 13, Wednesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium, Dambulla, Sri Lanka𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st ODI 2024 Sri Lanka’s aim to continue with a good record at home Sri Lanka 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 NZ Match Prediction & Analysis We are in the first match of the three-match ODI series between Sri Lanka and New Zealand. The two teams shared the honors in the T20 series, with New Zealand making a strong comeback in the second game after losing the first. The Kiwis have enjoyed a good tour of the subcontinent and shall look to build on the momentum as the Sri Lankans look to hold the fort strong. Sri Lanka is enjoying an excellent run at home. The team has lost only once in the last 10 games and has been a tough side to beat. They have a strong spin attack, which has troubled batters in these conditions. New Zealand doesn’t have a good record in Sri Lanka, and it remains to be seen if they can do things differently this time. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Charith Asalanka and his team have seen New Zealand’s strengths in the last T20. They will be up for a good fight in this game. The side defeated West Indies in the last ODI series at home, and the players will take inspiration from that. Asalanka expects a strong show from his players to take a lead in the series. New Zealand Preview Mitchell Santner will be proud of his team’s comeback in the last game. They started the T20 series with a loss but finished on a high. The team is missing some of its key players in this series, who are out with injury. Santner will look to lead from the front in this game and help his team to an early lead. Weather Conditions Dambulla will have overcast skies. The wicket is slow, which will likely make life tough for the batters as they will have to play well against balls that stop on them. Spinners would like bowling on this surface. The average first innings score is 212 runs, and the side batting first needs 300 on the board. SL vs NZ Pitch Report Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Dambulla, is a tough wicket for the batters as the ball doesn’t come onto the bat nicely. Fast bowlers don’t see any assistance from the surface, and they must rely on their skills alone. It has been a good hunting ground for the spinners in the past.

Afghanistan vs Bangladesh, AFG vs BAN 2024, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Afghanistan vs Bangladesh 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 09, Saturday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 15:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd ODI 2024 Afghanistan eye a series-winning lead in the 2nd ODI Afghanistan 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. AFG vs BAN Match Prediction & Analysis Afghanistan are on a roll with 5 wins from their last 6 ODIs, including a series win against South Africa at this venue in Sharjah. The 18-year off-break bowler Allah Ghaznafar picked 6 wickets in the opening match against Bangladesh to lead his team to a 92-run win. Bangladesh bowlers did a great job in restricting the opposition to a low total but the batters failed big time. They’ve got all the experienced batters in the top and middle order and a 92-run loss while chasing 236 isn’t expected of this side. TEAMS PREVIEW Afghanistan Preview Skipper Hasmatullah Shahidi scored a slow and cautious half-century in the opening game as others around him failed to get going. 3 of the top 5 batters failed to score double digits while opener Sediqullah Atal scored 21 off 30 balls with 3 fours in his innings. This will be a concern for Afghanistan coming into this match. They will hope for the top-order batters to deliver a good start and a few strong partnerships so that the reliable and experienced players in the middle order can build on that foundation to lead the team to a big total. Bangladesh Preview Bangladesh will be disappointed after the huge loss in the first ODI. It was after 3 consecutive wins against Afghanistan that Bangladesh suffered a defeat. This is their second one-day series of 2024. In their previous series, Bangladesh defeated Sri Lanka 3-1 at home. Opener Tanzid Hasan, number 3 Najmul Hossain Shanto, and wicket-keeper batsman Mushfiqur Rahim at number 6 were among the match-winners for Bangladesh in that series. Weather Conditions It will be clear and sunny with a high of 32 degrees Celsius in Sharjah on the match day. The weather will not affect the match and we can expect a complete 50-over-a-side match at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. AFG vs BAN Pitch Report It is a bowling-friendly wicket where spinners have enjoyed great help in the past. Moreover, in the second innings, batting gets even more difficult. There have been some high-scoring games here in the past but overall, bowlers have the upper hand on this ground. The average 1st innings score at this venue is 232 runs. We reckon a 1st innings total of 260+ should be a match-winning total in this game Toss: To Bat The highest total successfully chased at this venue in ODIs is 185 runs. Teams batting first have won 7 of the last 10 matches played on this ground. The last match saw bowlers enjoy the upper hand here and we reckon defending a total will be the ideal choice for both teams.

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 IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 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 IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : 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.

Every win is goldust in this format as these teams play for a place in Cricket World Cup 2027.

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.

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. Bowlers might enjoy some seam movement early but the pitch will ease out as the match progresses.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : West Indies vs England𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 02, Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : 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.
