𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​ Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 25,Sunday​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 15:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​ Indian Premier League, 2025 Gujarat Titans are coming off a loss and now need to win this game and hope other results swing their way if they want to finish in the top two. Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings 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. GT vs CSK Match Prediction & Analysis Gujarat Titans (GT) take the field against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Match 67 of IPL 2025 this Sunday afternoon in Ahmedabad. Gujarat have already booked their playoff ticket and sit comfortably at the top with 17 points from 13 games. Their target now is to hold onto a top-two finish, which would give them an extra crack at making the final. As for Chennai, their campaign is done—they’re almost certain to finish at the bottom of the table with just 6 points from 13 outings. All they can aim for now is to put together one memorable outing before the curtain falls. Given how dependable and well-rounded Gujarat have looked all season, they’re better placed heading into this fixture. RECENT PERFORMANCE TEAMS PREVIEW Gujarat Titans Preview Gujarat Titans’ hopes of remaining in the top two took a hit with their loss to Lucknow Super Giants. Now, they not only need to win this one, but also need other results to swing their way. That defeat aside, Gujarat have been one of the more reliable sides in IPL 2025, rarely making big mistakes. Even when they’ve lost, they’ve kept things competitive and never completely fallen apart. GT have looked sorted across all departments, the last match being a rare off-day for their bowlers. Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler have all been in top gear at the top of the order, each crossing the 500-run mark for the season. Their consistency has played a big part in Gujarat’s strong run, and at least one of them is always in the game. Down the order, Rutherford has been quietly effective with 267 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 161. And with Shahrukh Khan smashing 59 off 27 in the last game, Gujarat now have another option who can step in if things don’t go right up top. With the ball, Gujarat have kept things tight overall. Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna have a combined haul of 36 wickets, and Sai Kishore has chipped in with 16 while going at under 9 per over. These three have been the pillars of GT’s bowling this year. Siraj has made early inroads, while Kishore has kept it tidy through the middle. Rashid’s season has been a bit hit-and-miss, and Kagiso Rabada hasn’t really found his groove since coming back. Chennai Super Kings Preview Chennai Super Kings are staring down their worst-ever IPL finish. With just 6 points from 13 games and a horrible NRR of -1.030, even a win in their final outing is unlikely to lift them off the bottom and get past Rajasthan Royals, who possess a better NRR. That’s uncharted territory for the five-time champs. Still, there are a few bright spots they’ll want to carry forward. Ayush Mhatre and Urvil Patel have brought some much-needed spark at the top of the order. The young duo plays with an edge and fearlessness that’s injected a bit of life into this struggling batting unit. Dewald Brevis has also been a solid pickup. The 22-year-old from South Africa has hammered 168 runs in five outings for CSK, striking at 164.70. His short but impactful knocks in the middle have given the innings a bit of punch when it’s been needed most. Shivam Dube has been their steadiest contributor with the bat, putting up 340 runs across 13 innings at a strike rate just under 130. But CSK could’ve done with him closing out a few more games – his inability to do that has cost them. Their bowling, meanwhile, has been all over the place. Khaleel Ahmed’s done a fair job, taking 14 wickets in 13 matches with an economy rate of 9.84. Noor Ahmad has been the most reliable, though, with 21 wickets in 13 innings at 8.41. The rest haven’t done much. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja haven’t kept runs down or picked up breakthroughs, while Matheesha Pathirana, despite taking wickets, has been leaking far too many runs. Weather Conditions The pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium has been great for T20 cricket – it’s a solid surface for batters, but there’s also enough in it for fast bowlers and those who rely on slower deliveries. Scoring tends to slow down in the second half as the pitch begins to lose a bit of pace, but overall, it remains a good place for batting. Expect hot and dry conditions in Ahmedabad, with no rain on the radar. GT vs CSK Pitch Report The average first innings score at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, is 178. In the previous match played at the venue, Lucknow Super Giants blasted 235-2 on the board against Gujarat Titans – the highest total here in this IPL. In this match, expect both teams to target a first innings score of around 200-210 runs to feel safe about their chances. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first have come out on top in five of the six IPL 2025 games held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. That pattern could push both captains to take the same approach in this match.

Oman vs Canada, ICCCWCLT, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​ Oman vs Canada 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 23,Friday​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Central Broward Regional Park Stadium, Lauderhill 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​ ICC Cricket World Cup League Two, 2023-27 Can Oman make it three wins in a row? Oman vs Canada TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. OMA vs CAN Match Prediction & Analysis Canada is set to face Oman in Match 71 of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 on Friday, May 23rd. The match will be played at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill, with a scheduled start time of 7:30 PM IST. Oman secured a victory against the USA in their last outing in a thrilling super over where they chased down 14 runs to win the match. Conversely, Canada suffered a 15-run defeat to Oman in their previous encounter. With Oman having won their last two matches, the momentum is in their favour ahead of their third match of the tour against Canada.  Current standings – Oman occupies the third position in the points table, having accumulated 22 points from 18 matches, with 10 wins and 6 losses. Canada is positioned fifth, with 20 points from 18 matches, comprising 9 wins and 7 losses. TEAMS PREVIEW Oman Preview Oman has had a productive period in the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 off late where they won three of their last five matches. In their most recent encounter Oman outclassed USA at their own backyard in a nail biting thriller and won the match in the super over, where they chased down 14 runs.  Batting first, Oman posted a total of 266 runs, losing all their wickets in 49.4 overs. Opening batsman and captain of the Oman side Jatinder Singh played an exceptional innings, scoring a century. Mohammad Nadeem contributed 40 runs from 89 balls, and Vinayak Shukla added 44 runs from 42 balls. Oman lost all their wickets by the 49.4 over mark. Defending their total, Oman claimed two early wickets. They dismissed Andries Gous at 5.3 overs, with the score at 20, and later removed Monank Patel. Samay Srivastava took three crucial wickets in vital overs, restricting the flow of runs. Ultimately, the match culminated in a one-over eliminator, where Oman successfully chased 14 runs to secure the victory. Canada Preview Canada’s recent streak of three consecutive losses has seen them drop to fifth in the league standings. In their most recent fixture against Oman, they fell short by 15 runs. Chasing a target of 218 runs within 50 overs, Canada were bowled out for 202 in 49 overs. In that match, the middle order showed significant resilience, particularly through the partnership of Pargat Singh and Harsh Thaker. Pargat played a pivotal innings, scoring 85 runs off 104 balls, providing crucial momentum to the chase. Harsh Thaker offered valuable support, contributing 33 runs. However, this momentum was lost following Harsh’s dismissal in the 28th over (27.4 overs). Canada’s bowlers also delivered a commendable performance, collectively picking up six wickets. A crucial breakthrough came from Shivam Sharma, who dismissed Hammad Mirza in the 37th over (36.4 overs). Additionally, Kaleem Sana and Dilon Heyliger each claimed two wickets. Weather Conditions The weather at Lauderhill, Florida on Friday, 23rd May is expected to be around 32°C with a chance of rain and the wind blowing at 11 km/hr. It is going to be a rainy & humid day with a humidity of 67% and 45%  precipitation. OMA vs CAN Pitch Report The pitch at Central Broward Cricket Ground in Lauderhill offers a balanced track that favours both the batters and bowlers and the average 1st innings score is 240 runs. The pitch tends to slow down as the match progresses and scoring runs in the latter stages of a match is a daunting task at this venue. A score of 250-270 will be par and easy to defend, so teams batting first will be definitely eyeing a score around this mark. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first won 7 of the 9 ODI matches played at Central Broward Cricket Ground in Lauderhill, chasing has always been tough at this venue and so far on this tour the team batting first won both the matches. We predict the team that wins the toss will opt to bat first.

Ireland vs West Indies, IRE vs WI , Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​ Ireland vs West Indies ​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 23,Friday​ 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 15:15 PM IST​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Clontarf Cricket Club, County Dublin, Ireland 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​ 2nd ODI 2025 West Indies’ challenge to level series after drubbing in 1st ODI Ireland 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. IRE vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis Ireland defeated the West Indies by 124 runs in the 1st ODI of the three-match series. The action moves to the second game, where Ireland would fight hard for a series win as the West Indies look to level it. Ireland dominated both departments in the last game, and the team will look to repeat it as the West Indies aim to find their mojo.  The West Indies have enjoyed good form in the last 12 months. The side has won six out of its last eight games. Their batting lineup is formidable, and the team will look to take advantage of it. Ireland shocked the visitors in the last game with a good show, and it will be interesting to see if they can repeat the same magic and win the series. TEAMS PREVIEW Ireland Preview Paul Stirling and his men put up a strong show in the last game. The team entered this series with a string of failures but put up a clinical show in the last game with the bat and the ball. They are on the verge of a series win against a higher-ranked opposition, and Stirling would like to grab it with both hands.  Andrew Balbirnie hit a match-winning hundred in the last game and will look to deliver an electrifying start with Paul Stirling. Harry Tector batted well and must cement partnerships with Cade Carmichael and Lorcan Tucker in the middle order. The team will expect runs in the lower middle order with George Dockrell, Thomas Mayes, and Andy McBrine.  The bowlers will be confident after their good show in the last game. Barry McCarthy and Thomas Mayes will look to strike early in the game to put the West Indies on the back foot. Joshua Little and Liam McCarthy will look to keep the scoring under check in the middle overs. The team expects a good show in the supporting role from Andy McBrine and George Dockrell. West Indies Preview Shai Hope and his team want to come out of the massive defeat in the last game. The team struggled with the bat and the ball as they allowed the hosts to post a big total and suffered a batting collapse in the run chase. The West Indies skipper would like to take lessons from the last game and put up a better show in this contest.  Evin Lewis and Brandon King failed to deliver a good start in the last game, and the team expects them to set up a big opening-wicket stand. The middle order didn’t get going, and the team needs Keacy Carty, Shai Hope, and Amir Jangoo to build partnerships. The team’s lower middle order is strong, and the side needs a good show from Justin Greaves, Roston Chase, and Matthew Forde.  The bowling attack looked rusty in the last game, and the team needs tight spells from Alzarri Joseph and Matthew Forde in the early overs. Gudakesh Motie troubled the batters in the last game, and he must do well in the middle overs with Shamar Joseph. Roston Chase and Justin Greaves must bowl tight spells in the supporting roles. Weather Conditions The skies over Dublin will be overcast, and we expect the batting conditions to be challenging due to the weather. Batsmen shall need to play to the merit of the ball on this surface. We saw more than 300 runs being scored in the last game, and the team batting first will be happy with 320. IRE vs WI Pitch Report The Village, Dublin, has shorter boundaries, but the outfield is heavy. Batting conditions are good here as the ball comes to the bat nicely, and we have seen big scores being made here in the past. The wicket aids the fast bowlers with the new ball. There isn’t much on this track for the spinners, and they have to rely on their variations to do well at this venue.  Toss: To Bowl The team that chased the score in the last six games won four times. The wicket is a bit challenging initially, but the conditions improve as the game progresses. The team winning the toss would look to take advantage of the conditions by bowling first in this game.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Sunrisers Hyderabad 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 23,Friday​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 :19:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​ Indian Premier League 2025 In IPL 2025, teams batting second have come out on top in five of the six games held at Ekana, making it clear that chasing has worked better at this ground. Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Sunrisers Hyderabad 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. RCB vs SRH Match Prediction & Analysis Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Match 65 of the IPL 2025 this Friday at Ekana. RCB have locked in a playoff spot with 17 points from 12 matches and now aim for a top-two finish. SRH are out of the race but have looked sharper recently and will want to end strong. Looking at RCB’s form, however, they have the upper hand heading into this clash. RECENT PERFORMANCE TEAMS PREVIEW Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview RCB have been terrific this season and have already booked their playoff spot. With two league games still to go, they’re in a strong position to finish in the top two, which would give them an extra shot at reaching the final. They’ve been steady in both batting and bowling. Virat Kohli has led the charge with the bat, scoring 505 runs in 11 innings at an average of 63.12 and a strike rate of 143.46. He’s looked in great rhythm and is well worth backing to deliver again. Phil Salt hasn’t piled on the runs, but he tends to get going early at a quick rate and sets the tone for the innings more often than not. Rajat Patidar, who’s captaining the side, has chipped in with 239 runs across 10 innings at a healthy strike rate of 140.58. In the lower order, RCB will be counting on Tim David and Romario Shepherd to provide the late push. Shepherd’s unbeaten 53 off just 14 balls against Chennai was a reminder of how dangerous he can be in the death overs. Missing Josh Hazlewood is a blow—they’ll feel his absence given the control he usually brings. But Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Krunal Pandya have stepped in with wickets and experience. Yash Dayal and Rasikh Dar, on the other hand, might feel the heat in high-pressure moments, considering they’re still settling into this level. Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview Sunrisers Hyderabad might be out of the playoff picture, but that’s taken some pressure off. They’ve played with more freedom in recent matches, the latest being a convincing win over Lucknow Super Giants, which knocked LSG out of the playoff hunt. SRH depend heavily on their top order. When the openers click—especially Abhishek Sharma—they usually put up a strong total. Abhishek has been excellent this season with 373 runs in 11 innings at a strike rate of 192.26. He just smashed a 20-ball 59 on this same ground and is a good bet to fire again with another quick 30-plus score against RCB.  There’s still no confirmation on Travis Head’s status after he missed the last match due to COVID. If he returns, it’ll give SRH even more intent at the top. In the middle order, Heinrich Klaasen, Ishan Kishan, and Nitish Kumar haven’t been consistent, but each of them has had moments—like Klaasen’s 47 off 28 last game. If one of them gets in, that might be enough to flip the game.  Down the order, Aniket Verma has quietly delivered. He’s striking at 156 and has added useful runs in the late overs. SRH’s bowling has looked a bit more settled lately. Pat Cummins is finding a rhythm, and Harshal Patel has been effective with his slower balls and cutters in the middle. Zeeshan Ansari and Eshan Malinga have combined for 14 wickets and have done well to hold things down through the middle overs. Weather Conditions Ekana isn’t the kind of surface where you can go hard from ball one. Batters usually need a few balls to adjust before they can start scoring freely. Once they settle in, the runs tend to come easier. Spinners tend to get some help through the middle overs, while quicks won’t find much to work with. They’ll have to mix up their pace—using cutters and slower balls—to stay in the game.  The heat and humidity in Lucknow will push the players, but at least the weather forecast looks clear, and we should have a full game. RCB vs SRH Pitch Report The average first-innings score at Ekana is around 170. KKR set the highest score here last season with 235/6 against LSG, winning by a massive 98 runs. Based on how the surface has played during IPL 2025, anything under 190 might not be enough. Targets in the 190–200 range—or higher—look safer if you want to stay ahead. Toss: To Bowl Ekana has seen six IPL 2025 matches so far, and the chasing side has taken the win in five of them — a clear pattern suggesting that the pitch and conditions here suit the team batting second.

United States of America vs Oman, ICCCWCLT, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​United States of America vs Oman 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 21,Wednesday​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 :19:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Central Broward Regional Park Stadium, Lauderhill 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​ ICC Cricket World Cup League Two, 2023-27 Can USA extend their dominance at home? United States of America vs Oman 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. USA vs OMA Match Prediction & Analysis United States of America (USA) square off against Oman in match 70 of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 on Wednesday, 21st May. The match is scheduled to be played at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium, Lauderhill and the start time is 7:30 PM IST.  The United States of America (USA) is coming off a dominant 169-run victory over neighboring Canada in their last match. Meanwhile, Oman secured a 16-run victory over Canada in a nail-biting game on Monday. Both teams are off to a solid start and will aim to maintain their winning momentum. Current Standings – The USA currently sits in 2nd place with 24 points from 17 matches (12 wins, 5 losses). Oman has climbed to 4th place with 20 points from 17 matches (9 wins, 6 losses, 2 no results). A win here would propel the USA to the top of the points table, while an Oman victory would see them rise to 3rd place. TEAMS PREVIEW United States of America Preview USA continues its dominance in the CWC League 2, having now won four of its last five ODI matches. Their most recent win came against neighboring Canada by a significant margin of 106 runs at Lauderhill. Batting first, the USA posted an imposing 361/3 in 50 overs. Opening the innings, Smit Patel remained unbeaten on 156 runs off 137 balls.  Andries Gous was dismissed for four runs, failing to get going. Monank Patel, the leading run-scorer for the USA in this CWC cycle, contributed 47 runs off 44 balls. Saiteja Mukkamalla also played a good cameo of 30 runs off 45 balls. However, it was Milind Kumar’s explosive innings of 115 runs off just 67 balls, featuring 12 fours and 5 sixes at a strike rate of 171.64, that truly boosted their total. The USA then bowled out Canada for 192 runs in 46.2 overs. Sanjay Krishnamurthi finished with impressive figures of 3/10 in just 3.2 overs. Harmeet Singh (2/38), Milind Kumar (2/40), and Noshtush Kenjige (2/41) were the pick of the bowlers for Team USA. USA batters have generally struggled against spinners, and they will be tested against Oman in this fixture. Monank Patel, who is the leading run-scorer for the USA with 667 runs in 17 matches, is also the leading run-scorer at the Lauderhill venue, where he has accumulated 178 runs in 5 matches, scoring over 30 runs in each. The USA’s top order is in good form, and if they can perform well against the Oman spinners, another high-scoring match is anticipated. In the bowling department, Noshtush Kenjige has picked up 29 wickets and is the leading wicket-taker for the USA. Oman Preview Oman has had a productive period in the CWC Cricket World Cup League 2, winning three of their last five matches. They enter this contest on the back of a monumental win over Canada, successfully defending 218 runs on Monday to kickstart their tour of the USA. Batting first, Oman scored 217/6. Their top order struggled, with Oman reeling at 3/31 early in the innings. Hamid Mirza and Mujibur Ali then added 38 runs for the fourth wicket. However, the standout was the 72-run partnership for the 5th wicket between Mirza, who scored 77 runs off 103 balls, and Mohammad Nadeem, who scored 76 runs off 77 balls. This duo solidified the innings, and Sufyan Mohammad’s cameo of 20 runs at the end ensured Oman surpassed the 200-run mark. Defending the total, Oman secured two early wickets, reducing Canada to 30/2. An 80-run partnership between Thaker and Pargat Singh then swung the game in Canada’s favor. However, Oman struck back in the middle overs and swiftly dealt with Canada’s tail, bowling them out for 202 runs in 49 overs. Shakeel Ahmed (3/41) and Samay Srivastava (3/31) were the pick of the bowlers for Oman. Weather Conditions The weather at Lauderhill, Florida on Wednesday, 21st May is expected to be around 27°C with clear skies and no chance of rain and the wind blowing at 5 km/hr. It is going to be a hot & humid day with a humidity of 79% and no precipitation. USA vs OMA Pitch Report The pitch at Central Broward Cricket Ground in Lauderhill offers a balanced track that favours both the batters and bowlers and the average 1st innings score is 237 runs. The pitch tends to slow down as the match progresses and scoring runs in the latter stages of a match is a daunting task at this venue. A score of 250-260 will be par and easy to defend, so teams batting first will be definitely eyeing a score around this mark. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first won 6 of the 8 ODI matches played at Central Broward Cricket Ground in Lauderhill, chasing has always been tough at this venue and so far on this tour the team batting first won both the matches. We predict the team that wins the toss will opt to bat first.

England vs Zimbabwe, ZIM vs ENG 2025, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​ England vs Zimbabwe​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 22,Thursday​ 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 15:30 PM IST​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Trent Bridge, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​ 1st Test 2025​ After a wait of 22 years, England and Zimbabwe meet in Test cricket once again! England vs Zimbabwe 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. ENG vs ZIM Match Prediction & Analysis Although this is the start of the England Men’s international summer, there will be a slight retro feel to the match as the hosts take on Zimbabwe in Test cricket for the first time since 2003! However, plenty has changed since that series that England easily won 2-0, not least the make-up of their bowling attack after Jimmy Anderson debuted at Lord’s 22 years ago. In fact, this Test will be only the second time in the last 18 years that England have played a home game without any of Chris Woakes, Stuart Broad or Anderson! For Zimbabwe, their fans will be delighted to see them playing in this four-day game at Trent Bridge. It’s their fifth Test of 2025 although they will be looking to improve on their record this year of three defeats and only one victory. TEAMS PREVIEW England Preview It has been five months since England last played Test cricket and the early months of this year brought nearly no joy for cricket fans in the country due to some terrible white ball performances. They were under head coach Brendan McCullum who resumes his Test role for this one-off four-day game and he will be determined to see England back to winning ways. With a home Test series against India, and an away series in Australia to come, this represents a very important year in the Bazball story! England’s batting will have bigger tests in 2025 but Zak Crawley and Ollie Pope are desperate for runs at this level whereas Joe Root will look to continue where he left off from a brilliant 2024. Zimbabwe Preview It has been a while since Zimbabwe took on one of the leading cricket nations in Test cricket and this game in Nottingham will certainly be a challenge for the tourists! However, they have plenty of experienced players to turn to with Northamptonshire’s Ben Curran, brother of England internationals Sam and Tom, set to play his sixth Test at the top of the order, with captain Craig Ervine, Sikandar Raza and Sean Williams well heeled in this format. Williams will be key, with a Test average of 44+ and with half centuries in his last three red ball appearances, if he can blunt England’s inexperienced attack then Zimbabwe could start to dream of an upset. With the ball, Raza will be the main spin option with the pace duo of Blessing Muzarabani and Richard Ngarava having the skills to cause England’s batters problems at a venue where the ball will move laterally. Weather Conditions The temperature will be no higher than 14 degrees in Nottingham on Thursday before getting up into the high teens on Friday and Saturday then dropping to 17 on Sunday. There could also be some rain about on Sunday. ENG vs ZIM Pitch Report This is an excellent Test match venue where the new ball often moves around a lot under cloudy skies. However, it’s also a very consistent and true batting surface and a par score will be 300-330 in the first innings. Toss: To Bowl It is set to be chilly on Thursday with plenty of cloud cover so we predict that both captains will not be able to resist the temptation to insert the opposition and try to take early wickets!

Lahore Qalandars vs Karachi Kings, PSLT20, Today Match Prediction

Lahore Qalandars vs Karachi Kings, PSLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​ Lahore Qalandars vs Karachi Kings 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 22,Thursday​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 23:00 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore Cantt, Pakistan 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​ Pakistan Super League, 2025 Can Qalandars knock out Kings on home soil? Lahore Qalandars vs Karachi Kings 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. LHQ vs KRK Match Prediction & Analysis Lahore Qalandars will face Karachi Kings at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore in the Eliminator match of PSL 2025. The last time these two teams met on this ground, the Kings defeated the hosts by 4 wickets, chasing down a 168-run target in a 15-over match. While Qalandars’ batting saw a further dip in terms of performance in their next outing, the bowlers came to the rescue as they successfully defended a 149-run total against Peshawar in their last match of the league stage. Karachi Kings had won 3 consecutive matches before ending the league stage with a loss. Kings have won 2 of their 3 matches in Lahore. They kicked off the Lahore leg of PSL 2025 with a humiliating defeat, but were quick to bounce back. TEAMS PREVIEW Lahore Qalandars Preview Lahore Qalandars have won 2 of their 4 matches in Lahore. One of these games ended without a result. LHQ had scored 111 for 3 before the match was washed out due to rain. The hosts delivered quite impressive batting performances against Multan Sultans and Islamabad United, which resulted in convincing victories. Qalandars need their top 4 to come good in this match as they look to settle scores with the Kings at this venue. Mohammad Naeem and Abdullah Shafique are the key top-order batters to watch out for in this lineup, along with Fakhar Zaman. It was Zaman’s 60 off 36 balls knock that helped Qalandars to 149 runs batting first in their last match as the rest of the batting order collapsed. Naeem was off to a flying start with 22 off 10 balls, but couldn’t convert it into something significant and more impactful. The middle-order features Abdullah Shafique, Kusal Perera, and Sikandar Raza. Each of these batters can deliver a powerful knock and change the momentum of the innings. Asif Ali at number 6 is an experienced finisher and will be expected to step up and score quick runs at the death in this knockout game. Shakib Al Hasan coming in at number 7 wasn’t a great idea, and it didn’t work in the last match. In the bowling department, skipper Shaheen Shah Afridi leads the pace department for Qalandars. Salman Mirza replaced Rishad Hossain in the last game and picked up 4 for 31. We reckon Rauf’s experience will also be crucial for LHQ. Karachi Kings Preview Karachi Kings would have been thrilled to have ended the league stage with 4 consecutive wins. However, they fell short of the target against Islamabad United while chasing a mammoth 252-run target. David Warner’s 43 off 28 balls was the only noteworthy performance in Karachi’s run chase. However, the likes of Tim Seifert and James Vince are reliable batting options in the top 3. These two are experienced T20 players and have already delivered a few times in PSL 2025. In the middle order, Kings have Khushdil Shah, another big-hitting, reliable batsman who could turn the game on its head. It was Irfan Khan’s 48 off 21 balls at number 5 that helped Karachi beat Lahore in their previous encounter at this venue in Lahore. Khan and Shah are key middle-order batters who can stay at the crease long enough to take Kings home. They also have Mohammad Nabi, the Afghan all-rounder, who can be handy with the bat. In the bowling department, Mir Hamza and Abbas Afridi are the key wicket-takers for Karachi Kings. Khushdil Shah and Mohammad Nabi will be the ones to watch out for in the spin department. Though Hasan Ali brings experience to this bowling unit, he hasn’t been in great form and isn’t very reliable at the moment. Weather Conditions It will be sunny with a high of 45 degrees Celsius in Lahore on the match day. However, the temperature should fall below 40 degrees around the match time. We don’t expect any rain during the game and should have a complete and uninterrupted match. LHQ vs KRK Pitch Report It is a balanced wicket that offers an equal contest between the bat and ball. The average 1st innings score in the last 5 matches here is 155 runs. Kings and Qalandars are the only teams to have crossed the 200-run mark on this ground. We reckon anything above 180-185 runs will be a highly competitive total on this pitch. Toss: To Bowl Teams bowling first have won 6 of the last 10 matches played at this venue. The last 3 consecutive games went in favor of the chasing team. Both teams have plenty of firepower in the batting lineup and should back themselves to chase down a total.

The Gujarat Titans demolished the Delhi Capitals in the last game and have booked a berth in the playoffs. They will look to build momentum for the next round with a win. The Super Giants went down against the Sunrisers Hyderabad and lost all hope of qualifying for the next round.   The two teams enter this game with contrasting forms. The Gujarat Titans have won the last five out of six games and have their batting lineup in good form. The openers are demolishing bowling attacks, which will make the side confident. The Lucknow Super Giants have lost the last four games, and the batting lineup has struggled. The Super Giants must play out of their skins to win this game.  TEAMS PREVIEW Gujarat Titans Preview Shubman Gill and his team stamped their authority in the last game with a scintillating 10-wicket win against the Delhi Capitals. It was one of the best batting displays in a run chase this season as they easily chased down a big total. Having booked a berth in the playoffs, Gill wants to build momentum by winning the next two games. They had lost to the Super Giants earlier this season and shall look to even it.   Shubman Gill and Sai Sudarshan set up a 205-run stand in the last game, and the pair will look to deliver a strong start. Jos Buttler has done well this season at No. 3 and will look to build partnerships in the middle order with Sherfane Rutherford and Shahrukh Khan. Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan are powerful hitters, and the team expects them to create fireworks in the final overs.   Arshad Khan bowled brilliantly in the last game, and the team expects early wickets from him and Mohammad Siraj. Kagiso Rabada struggled in the comeback game, and the team expects a good show from him in the middle overs with Prasidh Krishna. Rashid Khan and Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore will look to use the conditions to their advantage and do well in this game. Lucknow Super Giants Preview Rishabh Pant’s team is out of contention for the playoffs. The side suffered a 6-wicket loss against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last game, where the bowling attack let them down and failed to defend a big total. The side will look to put up a good show as they play for their pride. Pant expects a better show from his bowlers in this game to have a chance.   Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh put up a 115-run stand in the last game, and the team expects a similar start. Pant’s lack of form has hurt the team, and he will look to do well in the middle order with Nicholas Pooran and Ayush Badoni. Abdul Samad and Shardul Thakur will have much responsibility in the lower middle order, as the rest of the batting has struggled.   Akash Deep and William O’Rourke struggled with the new ball in the last game, and the team expects them to strike early. Shahbaz Ahmed and Avesh Khan must pick wickets in the middle overs to put pressure on the Gujarat Titans’ batters. Ravi Bishnoi and Shardul Thakur must do well in the supporting role, as the GT batters will take them on. Weather Conditions We expect clear skies over Ahmedabad on May 22 and a warm and humid evening. The wicket will be good to bat on, where batsmen can easily play their strokes. Spinners will enjoy the conditions in this game, as the dry surface would make the ball turn. The side batting first will need 200 runs on the board, as the average first-innings score is around 170. GT vs LSG Pitch Report Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, has a flat track and a lightning-quick outfield. Batsmen have done well, though the wicket can surprise them with its slowness. Batsmen who get their eyes set on have done well on this track. Fast bowlers rely on their variations to earn rewards on this surface. It has been a happy hunting ground for the spinners as the ball can turn sharply and stop on the batsmen. Toss: To Bat The results have been in favor of teams that have batted first at this venue this season. In five games played here, the side batting first has won. The wicket has slowed down in the second half. The team winning the toss would look to bat first.

England Women vs West Indies Women, ENG-W vs WI-W 2025, Today Match Prediction

England Women vs West Indies Women, ENG-W vs WI-W 2025, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​ England Women vs West Indies Women​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 21,Wednesday​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 23:00 AM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ The Spitfire Ground, St Lawrence, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​ 1st T20, 2025 England Women begin their home summer in Wednesday’s WT20I against West Indies Women. England Women vs West Indies 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. ENGW vs WIW Match Prediction & Analysis The start of an international summer is always an exciting moment for any side and this year England’s Women side have the honour of playing a match the day before England’s Men begin their season on Thursday! It was October last year when the teams last met and West Indies Women ended a run of successive defeats against England Women with a famous six win victory with 12 balls remaining. That game was in the Women’s T20 World Cup and saw West Indies Women dump England Women out of the competition and the hosts will be determined to make amends at the St Lawrence Ground, Canterbury. This is also a key moment for England Women who begin a new era under the captaincy of Nat Sciver-Brunt and the coaching of Charlotte Edwards. TEAMS PREVIEW England Women Preview After an awful tour of Australia during the Women’s Ashes earlier this year, England Women have been waiting for a chance to re-set and start again and this series at home against West Indies Women will give them the opportunity to do so. Although England Women have a new captain and a new head coach, the make up of their side is much the same as was seen down-under in Australia in January and February. It will be very interesting to see how Heather Knight gets on as she returns to the ranks after giving up the captaincy while it will also be key for the hosts that new captain Nat Sciver-Brunt does not lose her golden touch with the bat and ball! Spinner Sophie Ecclestone has not been selected as she is only just back playing after injury and this should give Charlie Dean an opportunity to enjoy the limelight as the top slow bowler in the side. West Indies Women Preview West Indies Women beat England Women the last time they went head to head but this is likely to be a tough assignment across the series including in this game on Wednesday in Canterbury. But Hayley Matthews, who is one of the most talented female cricketers in the world, will bring a team who are confident and will not take a backward step in this fixture. Matthews, Qiana Joseph, vice-captain Shemaine Campbelle, Aaliyah Alleyne and Stafanie Taylor are likely to be key players for the ‘women in maroon’ across this game in Canterbury but as ever with West Indies Women, many of the other players may struggle with the level. When they last met,  Joseph took the Player of the Match with 52 runs from 38 balls as she and Matthews hit 102 runs at the top of the order for the first wicket. Weather Conditions There may be plenty of rain around earlier in the day in Canterbury with some showers remaining at the toss. The conditions may see a reduced-overs match with the temperature no higher than 14 degrees. ENGW vs WIW Pitch Report There is typically a good contest between bat and ball in Canterbury but with the overhead conditions it may well be better than normal for the bowlers! A par score is likely to be no higher than 140. Toss: To Bowl This will be the third WT20I in Canterbury and the first since July last year. The last game was won by the team fielding first so we predict that both captains will want to bowl first in this match.

United Arab Emirates vs Bangladesh, UAE vs BAN 2025, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​ United Arab Emirates vs Bangladesh 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 21,Wednesday​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:00 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Sharjah Cricket Stadium 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​ Bangladesh tour of UAE, 2025 The pitches in this series have been batting-friendly, and both teams will be eyeing a score of around 190-200. United Arab Emirates 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. UAE vs BAN Match Prediction & Analysis UAE and Bangladesh face off again on Wednesday in Sharjah for the third and deciding T20I. UAE stunned everyone with a breakthrough win in the second match to tie the series 1-1, setting up a tense finale. Bangladesh will be feeling the sting after letting control slip, and they’ll want to avoid a humiliating loss. Meanwhile, UAE now stand just one step away from pulling off a historic series win. TEAMS PREVIEW United Arab Emirates Preview UAE pulled off a thrilling win in Sharjah, holding their nerve to beat Bangladesh by two wickets in the second T20I. It was their first-ever victory over Bangladesh, chasing down a tough target of 205 with just one ball left. Captain Muhammad Waseem led the way with a blistering 82 off 42 balls, smashing nine fours and five sixes. It was his second consecutive fifty and there is little doubt that UAE’s hopes in the decider rest on the in-form batter. This result, however, should give UAE a real boost as they aim for a rare series win. But for that to happen, others in the lineup need to do more. So far, Waseem has carried the batting with little support.  Muhammad Zohaib added 38 off 34 in the last game, and Asif Khan and Haider Ali played short but useful knocks. Still, players like Alishan Sharafu, Rahul Chopra, and Asif need to come through in a big way if the team wants to string wins together. With the ball, Muhammad Jawadullah has been the standout, picking up seven wickets across the two matches. Dhruv Parashar, Haider Ali, and Saghir Khan have chipped in, but the overall bowling effort needs to improve if they’re going to keep Bangladesh from posting another big score. UAE might want to bring in the experienced Simranjeet Singh for the final game. He was surprisingly rested for the first two matches, but the home side needs his experience more than ever now. Bangladesh Preview Bangladesh will be kicking themselves after letting the second T20I slip away. They put up a strong 205-5 after batting first, but the bowlers couldn’t hold their end, letting the UAE batters take control and chase it down with ease. On the positive side, Tanzid Hasan was in fine touch, leading the charge with 59 off 33. Skipper Litton Das added 40 off 32, while Towhid Hridoy’s quick 45 off 24 and a late blitz from Jaker Ali (18 off 6) pushed the total past 200. Parvez Hossain Emon, who scored a hundred in the first game, sat this one out due to a groin issue. It’s still unclear if he’ll be back for the final. With the ball, Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Nahid Rana had a rough day, each giving away more than 50 runs, which proved costly in the end. On the other hand, Shoriful Islam and Rishad Hossain stepped up, grabbing two wickets apiece. Don’t be surprised if Hasan Mahmud returns for the decider, possibly taking Rana’s spot. His experience could be a big factor in what’s likely to be a tense finish. Weather Conditions So far in the series, Sharjah has been a solid venue for batting. There’s been some help for spinners during the middle overs, but the surface has held up well for scoring across the full 40 overs. The forecast looks straightforward too—hot and dry, with no rain expected to affect play. UAE vs BAN Pitch Report The average first-innings score at Sharjah Cricket Stadium is 159. However, in this series, the team batting first has posted totals of 191-7 and 205-5, indicating that the pitches have been a lot better for batting. Thus, the team batting first will eye a score of around 190-200. Toss: To Bowl Even though UAE pulled off a chase in the second match, teams generally have a better shot when they bat first at Sharjah.
