India vs England, IND vs ENG 2025, Today Match Prediction

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :Β India vs England​ 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Β January 22,​​ Wednesday​​ π“πˆπŒπ„ :​ 19:00 PM IST​​​​​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Eden Gardens, Kolkata, India π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : 1st T20 2025 Bazball enters white ball international cricket as England tour India starting with this T20I on Wednesday evening at Eden Gardens. 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 Any series in any format between India and England is one which gets cricket fans across the globe excited and talking! This five match T20I series, which will be followed by a three game ODI series ahead of next month’s ICC Champions Trophy, will be sure to have neutrals as well as passionate India and England supporters glued to each fixture. There is more than the usual excitement ahead of this series as there is the big global tournament coming next month. Furthermore, England are under new management in this format with their Test head honcho, Brendan McCullum, who has changed the team’s entire approach to Test cricket, bringing the same approach to white ball cricket. But will England be able to take on the might of India in their own backyard and go toe to toe with them? That is the question ahead of this opener which sees both teams field full teams.  TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview Many international teams would not have been able to deal with the loss of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja at the same time whilst remaining competitive in T20I cricket but India are no ordinary side! Those three generational players called time on their T20I careers after the T20 World Cup last July but India have played so many games without them over the last few years that all the players in their side now have experience as well as all the key skills to thrive at this level. With the bat, captain Suryakumar Yadav, Abhishek Sharma and Rinku Singh are likely to bring the fireworks with the likes of Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson still playing positively but looking to also bat some time. England Preview England are another T20I side who have moved on from a group of players who had served them so well over the previous decade with the likes of Jonny Bairstow, Moeen Ali and Dawid Malan no longer in the thoughts of the selectors. Jos Buttler continues to lead the side and it will be interesting to see how he works with the new coach after he seemed a little put out and not at his best under the last regime. McCullum will no doubt be keen to empower the likes of Ben Duckett, Harry Brook and Jacob Bethell, all of who he has seen flourish in Test cricket. With the ball, England could well unleash the new ball pairing of Jofra Archer and Mark Wood to send down some rockets at the Indian batters. Buttler also has some strong spin options as well with Rehan Ahmed and the experienced Adil Rashid likely to start in this game. Weather Conditions It will be a warm and sunny day in Kolkata ahead of this game with the temperature likely to fall from the high twenties to the mid-low twenties across the match. Clear skies will be in order with humidity reaching 65% by the end of the contest. IND vs ENG Pitch Report Of the bowlers, pacers tend to have to work harder than spinners to pick up wickets at Eden Gardens, although the whole venue is also seen as batter friendly. Whoever bats first will be looking to post a score around 200 on Wednesday evening. Toss: To Bat Three of the last four T20Is at Eden Gardens have been won by the team batting first and with the conditions unlikely to change much across the evening, we predict that both captains will want to bat first ahead of this game.

HBH vs SYS Match Prediction & Analysis We have entered the final phase in the Big Bash League 2024-25. The league stage is over, and we are in the Qualifier, where the Hobart Hurricanes take on the Sydney Sixers. The Hurricanes have enjoyed a good run this season and finished on top. The side has its batters in good form and shall look to leverage this strength. The Sydney Sixers finished second and shall look to put up a good fight in this game.  The Hobart Hurricanes have enjoyed a clean home record and won all five games. The side will be confident playing at this venue as the players know these conditions well. The Sydney Sixers lost against the Hurricanes earlier this season. Their middle order hasn’t been in the best form in the last few games, and it will be interesting to see if the team can defeat the Hurricanes. TEAMS PREVIEW Hobart Hurricanes Preview Nathan Ellis’ team has been consistent this season and finished on the top of the points table. The team didn’t end the league stage as they would have liked and went down against the Melbourne Stars in their last game by 40 runs. The bowling attack has struggled in the last few games, and Ellis would expect a strong show from his players, especially the bowling attack, and reach the final.  The team expects a strong start from Caleb Jewell and Mitchell Owen in this game, as they will face a strong bowling attack. The middle order is strong, and the side expects good performances from Charlie Wakim, Nikhil Chaudhary, and Ben McDermott as they have added runs in most games. Matthew Wade and Tim David will look to power the team to a big score with their hitting abilities.  Sydney Sixers Preview Moises Henriques’ team shared points with the Sydney Thunder in the last game after rain played spoilsport. The side has finished second on the points table with 14 points. After a good start, they struggled midseason but found their form back in the last few games. It will be a tough contest for the team against the Hurricanes, who are in good form. Henriques would like a strong show from his players after suffering a big loss against the Hurricanes in the league stage.  Steven Smith has batted well this season, and the team expects a good show from him, with Josh Philippe at the top. Henriques will look to steer the innings in the middle order and add runs with Jack Edwards and Jordan Silk. The side enjoys depth in the batting and expects good performances from Lachlan Shaw, Hayden Kerr, and Ben Dwarshuis.  Weather Conditions Hobart will have overcast skies, and batsmen will find the conditions challenging early in the game when the ball does a bit. The ball will come onto the bat nicely, allowing stroke play. The average first-innings score is 158 runs, and a score of 170 or more would be a fighting total at this venue. HBH vs SYS Pitch Report Bellerive Oval, Hobart, is a small venue, and the short square boundaries offer scoring opportunities to the batsmen. The wicket offers early assistance to the fast bowlers, who have done well here. There is little on this surface for the spinners, who have gone for runs.

MLS vs HBH Match Prediction & Analysis It is the final league game in the Big Bash League 2024-25. The Melbourne Stars will fight for a place in the playoffs as they take on the Hobart Hurricanes in the 40th game. The Melbourne Stars have done well in the last few games and come here with a win against the Melbourne Renegades. The Hobart Hurricanes defeated the Brisbane Heat in the last game and shall feel confident.   The Hobart Hurricanes are through to the next round and won’t feel as much pressure as the Melbourne Stars. They defeated the Stars earlier in the season, and the players will take inspiration from that win. The Stars have been dependent on a few players to win games. They must win this game by a big margin to reach the next round, and it will be interesting to see how they perform. TEAMS PREVIEW Melbourne Stars Preview Marcus Stoinis’ team has made one of the best comebacks in the tournament’s history. They have won four back-to-back games after starting the season with five consecutive losses. The side defeated the Melbourne Renegades in the last game by 42 runs. It is a must-win game for the team, and they are up against a strong side. Stoinis would expect a strong show from his players in this contest.   Ben Duckett has batted well in the tournament and looks forward to delivering a good start in this game with Sam Harper. Stoinis must lead front the front in the middle order and add runs with Thomas Rogers and Beau Webster. Glenn Maxwell has been in superb form, and he adds X-factor to this batting lineup with Hilton Cartwright in the lower middle order.   Hobart Hurricanes Preview Nathan Ellis, and his men performed phenomenally in the last game against the Brisbane Heat. The side defeated the Brisbane Heat by 5 wickets in a game that went down the wire. The players held their nerves, winning off the last ball of the game. They are through to the playoffs, and Ellis would like to win this game to build momentum for the next round.   Caleb Jewell and Mitchell Owen set up an 80-run stand in the last game, and the team needs a similar start from the pair. Ben McDermott, Nikhil Chaudhary, and Matthew Wade have done well in the middle order, and the team expects a strong show from them. Tim David is a good finisher and looks to do well with Jake Doran in the lower middle order.​ The bowling attack struggled in the last game, and they need a good spell with the new ball from Riley Meredith and Marcus Bean. Nathan Ellis and Peter Hatzoglou look forward to doing well in the middle overs. The team also expects a good show in this contest from Owen, Nikhil Chaudhary, and David in the supporting roles. Weather Conditions There would be clear skies over Melbourne. The wicket shall be slow, and batsmen would have to play to the merit of the ball. Bowlers will get assistance from the surface, and the side batting first would be happy to put up a score of more than 180 on this track, with the average score being 161 runs. MLS vs HBH Pitch Report Melbourne Cricket Ground has a good surface for batting. However, we have seen slowness in recent games. Batsmen who spend time at the crease do well at this venue. Fast bowlers get assistance from the wicket with the new ball. Spinners enjoy bowling here as the large ground doesn’t allow batsmen to play big shots. Toss: To Bowl It has been a happy hunting ground for sides that have cased scores. We have seen low scores, and the side batting first has struggled in recent games at this venue. Hence, we expect to see the side winning the toss have no hesitation in bowling first.​

Perth Scorchers vs Adelaide Strikers, BBLT20, Today Match Prediction

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :Β Perth Scorchers vs Adelaide Strikers𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Β January 18,​​ Saturdayβ€‹β€‹π“πˆπŒπ„ :​ 14:45 PM IST​​​​​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Perth Stadium, Burswood, Australiaπ“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : Big Bash League, 2024-25 Can the Strikers settle scores against inconsistent Perth? Perth Scorchers vs Adelaide Strikers 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. PRS vs ADS Match Prediction & Analysis There is a very small chance of either of these teams making it to the top 4. With 6 points each from 9 games, the maximum they can reach is 8 points. Other teams like BRH and MLR are ahead with a better chance of finishing at number 4. Nevertheless, it is a must-win game for both sides as they lock horns for the second time this season. The last time they met, Perth Scorchers restricted the Stirkers to 142 runs and chased down the target with 7 wickets in hand. Scorchers have been struggling with the bat since then. They lost two consecutive home games right after their win over Adelaide. Most of their key batters are inconsistent. TEAMS PREVIEW Perth Scorchers Preview Perth Scorchers come home for their last league stage match. After winning their first two outings at this venue, the Scorchers lost the next two games. In their last match on this ground, the hosts suffered a batting collapse and finished with 147 for 8 batting first. While they quickly improved in the very next game with a 200+ score while chasing a big total, the batting collapsed again as they were bowled out for 97 runs in their recent loss in Sydney. Batting inconsistencies are a huge concern for the Scorchers. Cooper Connolly and Ashton Turner are the key middle-order players for Perth Scorchers. A lot depends on these two. If these two are out cheaply, we don’t expect the Scorchers to post a competitive total or chase one down. Sam Fanning and Finn Allen have struggled to get them off to a good start. However, we can still expect one of these two to get going and score some quick runs in the powerplay. Adelaide Strikers Preview Adelaide Strikers will back themselves to continue their batting form as they take on Perth Scorchers in an away game. D Arcy Short came in for Chris Lynn in the last game. He managed to score just 10 off 9 balls opening alongside Matthew Short. Lynn was in fine touch and would be a better choice for the opener. However, D Arcy Short brings in an extra bowling option with his left-arm wrist spin. Alex Carey is an experienced campaigner at number 3. He may not strike the ball at a faster rate but can build steady partnerships. Ollie Pope and Alex Ross look promising at 4 and 5 and will be the key batters to watch out for. Weather Conditions It will be clear and sunny in Perth on the match day with a high of 26 degrees Celsius. It is likely to rain a day before the match but no signs of cloud on the game day and we can expect a complete and exciting thriller in the last home game of the season for Perth. PRS vs ADS Pitch Report There is great bounce and pace on offer at the Perth Stadium. Fast bowlers will be crucial in this game. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 matches here is 174 runs. It has been a high-scoring venue in T20s with 201 runs being the highest total successfully chased at the venue. We reckon 185+ runs total will be a highly competitive score in this match. Toss: To Bowl Teams bowling first have won 3 of the last 4 BBL matches played at this venue. Scorchers opted to bowl first in their last two outings and will likely continue this approach. The visitors have a deep batting lineup and that puts them in a better position to chase down a target.

MLR vs BH Match Prediction & Analysis It is the last leg of league games in the Big Bash League 2024-25. Three teams are through to the next round, and only one spot is up for grabs. The Melbourne Renegades will take on the Brisbane Heat in the 38th game as both teams look to reach the next round. The Renegades lost against the Hobart Hurricanes in the last game, and the Brisbane Heat also lost against the same team.  The Melbourne Renegades have struggled with their consistency this season. The side sits at the bottom of the points table and has won only once in the last six games. They have lost the last two games against the Brisbane Heat, which will be on their minds. The Heat have their batsmen in good form, and it will be interesting if it can power the team to victory.  Brisbane Heat Preview Usman Khawaja and his men must come out of the heartbreaking loss in the last game against the Hobart Hurricanes by 5 wickets. They lost the nail-biting contest off the last ball and failed to secure a berth in the playoffs. It is a must-win game for the side, and Khawaja expects a strong show from his bowlers as they failed in the last game.    Usman Khawaja must lead from the front and deliver a good start in this game with Nathan McSweeney. Marnus Labuschagne batted brilliantly in the last game, and he will look to add quick runs in the middle order with Matt Renshaw and Max Bryant. Tom Alsop and Michael Neser are good hitters and shall look to deliver a perfect finish.  Weather Conditions We will see clear skies over Melbourne on January 16. The wicket will be flat and allow batsmen to play their strokes freely. The side batting first would need 170 on this wicket to feel confident, with the average first-inning score being 157 runs. MLR vs BH Pitch Report Docklands Stadium, Melbourne, has a good batting surface and fast outfield. We have seen sides put up big scores at this venue. Fast bowlers get a hint of assistance from the track, but it is a challenging venue for the spinners as the shorter boundaries don’t leave a margin for error. Toss: To Bowl The side chasing the score has won eight out of the last ten games at this venue. The wicket is challenging in the first innings, and it becomes better to bat on in the second half. The side that wins the toss would like to bowl first and restrict the opposition to a small total.

Sydney Sixers vs Sydney Thunder 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 SYT Match Prediction & Analysis Get ready for a big one on Friday as the Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder go head-to-head at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Match 37 of the 2024-25 BBL season.  While both Sydney teams have already punched their ticket to the BBL|14 finals, this match carries extra weight – the winners will secure a top-two finish and earn themselves a safety net in the playoffs. With so much on the line, you can bet both the Sixers and the Thunder will be bringing their A-game. TEAMS PREVIEW Sydney Sixers Preview Sydney Sixers have surged back to the top of the standings following two consecutive victories, capped by a thrilling chase of 183 against the Adelaide Strikers, with just one ball to spare. Steven Smith’s comeback has given the Sixers a real lift.  He blasted an unbeaten 121 off just 64 balls against the Scorchers in his first appearance this season and backed that up with a strong half-century facing the Strikers. This will be Smith’s final game for the Sixers before he departs for the Sri Lanka tour. Beyond Smith, expect runs from Josh Philippe and Moises Henriques, who’ve both been reliable run-getters this season. Sydney Thunder Preview The Thunder clinched their spot in the BBL|14 finals with a commanding victory over the Scorchers at home on Monday night. It’s a major shift from last season, when they ended up dead last with just a single victory. Sam Konstas continued his good form, grinding out a fifty on a tough pitch that was favoring spin. The Thunder’s spinners then made quick work of Perth, limiting them to just 97 runs. The win pumped up their net run rate, setting the stage for a massive Sydney Smash at the SCG on Friday.  The Thunder have stayed near the top of the standings all season, even with a string of injuries plaguing the squad. As many as six players from their initial roster of 18 have missed time. David Warner’s steady hand and run-scoring (324 in 8 innings) have been a huge part of that success. Another player to watch is Sam Billings, who is in great form, accumulating 185 runs in 8 innings at a strike rate of 136. Weather Conditions The Sydney Cricket Ground typically presents a batting-friendly pitch, but it also offers spinners a chance to make an impact as the match unfolds. The ball tends to come onto the bat well, encouraging aggressive play, particularly in the evening. Fast bowlers who bowl with pace can generate additional bounce, but they must be clever with their variations to succeed.  The weather in Sydney has been a problem this week. It has rained a fair amount and Saturday’s weather outlook is equally grim. There is a good chance of cloud cover, breezes, and potential thunderstorms that could easily disrupt the action. SYS vs SYT Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Sydney Cricket Ground in domestic T20s is 158. The highest total posted at the venue in the Big Bash League is Sydney Sixers’ colossal 213-4 versus Perth Scorchers earlier this season, a game they won by 14 runs. Toss: To Bowl There is a forecast of showers in Sydney on Friday, which will likely push both captains to field first in this game.

Brisbane Heat 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. BH vs HBH Match Prediction & Analysis Brisbane Heat are at number 5 in the points table with 3 wins from 8 matches and desperately need a win to stay alive in the race to playoffs. They’ve won 2 of their 4 games at The Gabba. In their last outing here, BRH successfully chased down 174 runs. Colin Munro will expect his bowlers to bounce back in this match after their poor performance in Adelaide in the recent loss. Hobart Hurricanes have won 6 matches on the trot after they lost their opening game. The Hurricanes are in sublime form and will pose a threat to Brisbane’s playoff hopes. TEAMS PREVIEW Brisbane Heat Preview Colin Munro will be under pressure both as a skipper and as a batter. He came in at number 7 in the last match while chasing a massive target of 252 against the Strikers and was out for a duck. He struggled with his strike rate in the previous game at their home ground in Brisbane scoring just 23 off 25 balls while opening the innings. Matt Renshaw and Max Bryant led the Heat to victory in that game. The two have been in great form and have made consistent contributions in the middle order. Nathan McSweeney also looked in good shape in the last match at number 3 and is a key batsman to watch out for. Hobart Hurricanes Preview Hobart Hurricanes will be looking for their 7th straight win as they take on the Heat in Brisbane. The variety in the bowling attack has allowed Hobart to stay on top of the game while bowling first in each of their last three outings. They restricted the opposition to 154, 164, and 186 in their last 3 matches. The bowling returns have improved with every game. Riley Meredith and Billy Stanlake will spearhead the Hurricanes’ pace attack. They’ve also got the experienced Chris Jordan in the squad while being led by a fast-bowling captain in Nathan Ellis. Then there are some promising spinners like Nikhil Chowdhury and Peter Hatzoglou. Weather Conditions It will be clear and sunny in Brisbane on the match day with a high of 35 degrees Celsius. Though there will be rain on the days before the match, we expect clear skies on the match day and a complete and uninterrupted game. BH vs HBH Pitch Report The pitch is known for its pace and bounce and will help the pacers. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 T20s here is 161 runs. And since the highest successful run chase here was 175 runs, we believe a match-winning total should be something over 180-185 runs. Toss: To Bowl Teams bowling first have won all the 4 matches played here so far this season. Hurricanes have been successful while chasing a target in their recent matches while Heat also won their last home game while batting second. Both teams will be looking to bowl first in this match.

ADS vs SYS Match Prediction & Analysis Adelaide Strikers will take on Sydney Sixers in their last home game of the season. With just two more games left in their league stage campaign, the Strikers must win both these matches to have a good chance of making the playoffs. Sydney Sixers, on the other hand, will be aiming for the top spot. They seemed to have lost their way with two consecutive losses but the recent win has put them back on the winning track. Sixers had desperately needed that comeback with the bat. They will be taking on an in-form Adelaide batting lineup that recently scored 251 on this ground. Steven Smith’s 121 off 64 balls was the highlight of the Sixers’ recent win at the SCG. TEAMS PREVIEW Adelaide Strikers Preview Matthew Short came into the side in the last match, taking over the captaincy from Alex Ross, and led the Strikers to their second home win. Short scored a brilliant hundred at the top and was part of the 121-run opening stand with Chris Lynn. This is great news for the Strikers. Lynn has been in great form this season, scoring consistently as the opener for the side. However, Short joining him at the top with a brilliant game-changing knock will boost Adelaide’s hopes and confidence. Alex Ross has also been in fine touch at number 5 and is a key player to watch out for. He can lead a great finish for the Strikers along with Jamie Overton in the lower order. Though there has been some inconsistency in the middle order and we’ve seen many changes to the batting lineup, Alex Carey and Ollie Pope are quite experienced players with a lot of skill and we expect them to find their rhythm soon. Sydney Sixers Preview Sydney Sixers will be confident after their recent win. Before this win, they were struggling with the bat and failed to chase down 157 and 162-run targets in their previous two outings. While Steve Smith led the batting effort in the last game, what the Sixers need at the moment is a comeback from Josh Philippe and Kurtis Patterson in the top 3. These two batters have struggled to get going since the last 3 consecutive matches. Their lack of form can hurt the Sydney Sixers big time. This will also put a lot of pressure on Steve Smith if he continues to feature in the XI. Skipper Moises Henriques is a key batsman in the middle order. He has a big role to play at number 4. He was in fine touch in the recent outing and will be hoping to carry the momentum into this game. Ben Dwarshuis batted ahead of Jordan Silk and Jack Edwards in the last game and scored an unbeaten 23 off 7 balls. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy in Adelaide on the match day with a high of 21 degrees Celsius. There are no signs of rain, however, and we can expect a complete T20 match at one of the best venues in Australia. ADS vs SYS Pitch Report It is a balanced wicket that has assisted the bowlers on many occasions in the past. This season we saw a couple of high-scoring games and the pitch has looked much better for batting than previous seasons. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 T20s played here is 178 runs. The highest total successfully chased on this ground in recent times is 179 runs. We reckon anything over 185 would be a competitive total in this game. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first have won 4 of the last 5 matches in BBL 2024-25 at this venue in Adelaide. Both teams have an in-form batting lineup and can post a highly competitive total on this ground.

HBH vs SYT Match Prediction & Analysis Match 29 of the BBL 2024-25 will see Hobart Hurricanes face off against Sydney Thunder at Bellerive Oval this Friday. Their previous encounter at ENGIE Stadium on Wednesday was rained out, preventing either team from moving to the top of the Big Bash League ladder. With one competition point each, the second-placed Thunder and third-placed Hurricanes are currently tied with the Sydney Sixers, who hold the top spot due to a superior net run rate. This rematch offers the winner a chance to ascend to the top of the standings if other results go their way.  TEAMS PREVIEW Hobart Hurricanes Preview After a disastrous start – bowled out for 74 against the Renegades in their season opener – Hobart Hurricanes have finally found their groove, winning four in a row. They’re now in a good position to make the finals for the first time in three seasons, with just four games remaining. Apart from Matthew Wade, who has a top score of 27, their top six batters have all been in form at different times. Emerging star Mitch Owen hit an unbeaten 101 against the Scorchers, the best knock of the season so far. Ben McDermott is another player to keep an eye on, with 124 runs in 5 innings at a strike rate of 149. Tim David has also shown he can dominate any attack, as seen in his 62* off 28 balls against the Strikers. Sydney Thunder Preview Even though their previous game was called off, Sydney Thunder are in a strong position to finish in the top four. Their batting has been in top form, with captain David Warner leading the charge. Warner has scored 228 runs in 6 innings, with an average of 45.60 and a strike rate of 146.15.  Teenage Test opener Sam Konstas is back for the Thunder after Australia’s Border-Gavaskar Trophy win, providing a much-needed boost as the team deals with several injuries.  Another batter to keep an eye on is Sam Billings, who has been in fine form, hitting 149 runs in 6 innings at an average of 144.66. Matthew Gilkes has been impressive in the three games he has played.  Weather Conditions Bellerive Oval often offers a good batting surface, particularly early in the match. Expect decent pace and carry, allowing batters to play their shots. Spinners may find some turn later on, especially if the pitch is dry, but it’s usually not a significant factor. The shorter straight boundaries can be tempting targets for big hitters. Overhead conditions can play a role, with any cloud cover potentially assisting swing bowlers. The weather in Hobart during the game is expected to be mostly cloudy and cool, with no forecast of rain. HBH vs SYT Pitch Report In domestic T20s at Bellerive Oval, the average score for teams batting first is 167. This season, the highest score at the ground was achieved by Hobart Hurricanes, who scored 187-5 in 18.4 overs to successfully chase down the target against Adelaide Strikers. Toss: To Bowl Two of the three matches played at Bellerive Oval in this season of the BBL have been won by the chasing side. This trend suggests that the chasing side might be at an advantage here and both captains might look to field first here.

MLS vs SYS Match Prediction & Analysis Melbourne Stars will take on Sydney Sixers at their home venue. This will be the Stars’ third match on this ground this season. Having won their last game here chasing down 169 with 5 wickets in hand, the hosts will be confident and eyeing for a 3rd straight win. Sydney Sixers suffered a huge batting collapse in their last outing against Hobart. They had been exceptional with the bat before this loss and successfully chased down a 195-run target against MLS at home. The hosts are dependent on their middle and lower middle-order batters since the top order has been quite inconsistent. In the last two successful run chases, it was Marcus Stoinis who starred with the bat at number 5. TEAMS PREVIEW Melbourne Stars Preview The hosts are back to winning ways after losing 5 matches on the trot. However, they aren’t without issues. The last two wins saw only a couple of batters step up and lead the run-chase while most of the top-order failed to get going. Marcus Stoinis is in fine touch in the lower middle order and will be the key player to watch out for. He is the finisher for the side and also has the support of another big finisher Glenn Maxwell who comes in at 6. Stars have packed their lower middle order with some big-hitting batters as Hilton Cartwright known for his big-hitting, comes in at number 7. Sydney Sixers Preview Sydney Sixers must look for a quick comeback. Their winning streak ended with a huge loss against Hobart as they were bowled out for 110 in the chase of 162 runs. Moises Henriques will be hoping for his top-order batters to quickly find their rhythm as they go up against an in-form MLS. The opposition has been brilliant with the ball in their recent outings and will likely pose a tough challenge to the Sixers in this game. Josh Philippe and James Vince have a big task on their hands. They need to put up a good partnership for the first wicket and set the Sixers on the path to a big score. Henriques is a reliable and experienced batter in the middle-order and along with Jordan Silk, will be expected to deliver an impactful knock. Silk has been a key player in the past for the Sixers and is known for his finishing skills. While the batting lineup is quite deep with the likes of Jack Edwards and Hayden Kerr coming in at 6 and 7, they haven’t made a big impact recently. It is the top-order that scored the majority of runs in recent matches of the Sixers. Weather Conditions We expect cloudy skies in Melbourne on the match day with a high of 30 degrees Celsius. There are no signs of rain and we can expect an uninterrupted and exciting contest between the two teams. MLS vs SYS Pitch Report The pitch offers great help to the bowlers and the average 1st innings score here is 147 runs in the last 10 matches. The highest successful run chase in recent games here was 173 runs. It is clear that the bowlers have enjoyed the upper hand on this ground and will play a key role in this game as well. Toss: To Bowl Teams bowling first have won 6 of the last 10 T20s played here. This season, there have been just two games so far and both went in favor of the team bowling first. Both teams have a strong bowling attack and will back themselves to restrict the opposition to a par total.
