IND-W vs IREW Match Prediction & Analysis We are in the second game of the three-match series, and India Women would be eying a series win after winning the first game by 6 wickets. It was a clinical performance by the hosts where they troubled Ireland Women with the ball and followed it up with a good batting performance. It will be a big test against all odds for Ireland Women, and they must do their best to win this contest.  Ireland Women have never won against India Women in ODIs, and they must overcome a mental obstacle to win and keep the series alive. Their recent form in the ODIs doesn’t inspire much confidence. The Indians have done well at home and have their top order in good form. It will be interesting to see if Ireland Women can register their maiden win against India in this format.  TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview Smriti Mandhana, who has recently taken over the captaincy, will be proud of how her side played in the last game. It was a perfect show with the bat and the ball, and they used the conditions to their advantage. Mandhana would like the players to build on this form and win the series in the second game.  Pratika Rawal batted brilliantly in the last game and will look to deliver a good start with skipper Smriti Mandhana. Harleen Deol will look to anchor the innings in the middle order and add runs with Jemimah Rodrigues and Tejal Hasabnis. Richa Ghosh and Deepti Sharma add strength to the batting lineup in the lower middle order.  Ireland Preview Gaby Lewis and her team will be under pressure in this game. It was a sub-par batting performance from the team in the last game, where the top and middle order failed to deliver the goods. The side will look to make a strong comeback and level the series as the Indians will come hard at them.  Gaby Lewis led from the front in the last game and was unlucky to have missed out on a hundred. She looks forward to delivering a good start with Sarah Forbes. The middle order had a poor outing in the last game, and the team needs partnerships between Una Raymond-Hoey, Orla Prendergast, and Laura Delany. Leah Paul and Coulter Reilly must add runs in the lower middle order.  Weather Conditions Rajkot will see a warm morning. We expect a flat wicket where batsmen can play their strokes easily. Spinners will enjoy bowling on this track, and the side batting first will aim to have 270 runs on the board. IND-W vs IREW Pitch Report Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot, is a large ground. The wicket is flat, allowing the batters to free their arms with even bounce and pace on the track. There is assistance for the fast bowlers early in the game. Spinners do well when at this venue as the surface assists them. Toss: To Bat The wicket will become tricky to bat on as the game progresses. Most teams have won games at this venue, chasing scores. The side winning the toss would look to bowl first in this game.

Australia have dominated, winning seven of their last eight matches against England on home soil. They even swept England 3-0 in a series in Australia back in early 2022. Australia Women vs England 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. AUSW vs ENGW Match Prediction & Analysis The Women’s Ashes are back! The rivalry between Australia and England resumes on January 12th with the first of three ODIs. The teams will then go head-to-head in three T20 matches before concluding the series with a day-night Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The Ashes trophy has been held by Australia since 2015, and they will be the favorites for the ODI portion of the series given their current form. TEAMS PREVIEW Australia Preview Australia Women,  the reigning ODI world champions, are set to continue their dominance in the format as they take on England in the Women’s Ashes. Led by Alyssa Healy, the team boasts a mix of experience and in-form players. Ellyse Perry remains their standout all-rounder, with an impressive batting average of 45 against England, backed by nine fifties, along with 40 wickets at 27.67. Annabel Sutherland has been in excellent form recently, scoring 346 runs in her last 10 matches at an impressive average of 57.67. Phoebe Litchfield, Beth Mooney, and Ashleigh Gardner bring depth and experience to a batting lineup that looks formidable. England Preview England Women face a tough challenge as they prepare to take on the reigning world champions on their home turf. Their recent performances, however, should inspire confidence. The team comes off a successful tour of South Africa, where they won the T20I, ODI, and Test formats. Moreover, they have won two of their past three ODIs against Australia, and have won nine of their past 11 ODIs. Heather Knight’s leadership will be key, but Tammy Beaumont’s form with the bat could make the biggest impact. Beaumont was England’s top scorer in the ODIs against South Africa, amassing 110 runs in three innings at an average of 55. Amy Jones also contributed consistently, finishing as the second-highest run-getter in that series. Maia Bouchier adds depth to the batting lineup with her impressive 257 runs across six recent games, averaging 51.4.  Weather Conditions North Sydney Oval typically offers a good batting surface, favoring early scoring. Expect true bounce, allowing batters to play through the line. Spinners, however, might find some assistance later in the day as the pitch wears, particularly with any footmarks developing. The outfield is usually quick, rewarding well-timed shots. Overhead conditions could also influence swing for the faster bowlers, particularly early in the innings. The forecast for the opening match of the series in Sydney on Sunday calls for warm weather, with a high of 29 degrees Celsius. There is a slight risk of some rain, with projected totals between 0 and 2mm. AUSW vs ENGW Pitch Report The average score batting first at North Sydney Oval in women’s ODIs is 193. The highest total posted at the venue is Australia Women’s 289-6 while chasing versus New Zealand Women back in 2012. The team batting first in this game will be eyeing a score of around 240-250 runs. Toss: To Bowl 10 of the 17 women’s ODIs played at North Sydney Oval have been won by the chasing side. This record will tempt both captains to field first in this game.

ADS vs BH Match Prediction & Analysis We have entered the most crucial phase in the Big Bash League 2024-25. The points table is taking shape, and we will have the Adelaide Strikers fighting for their survival as they take on the Brisbane Heat in the 31st game. The Strikers lost the last game against the Hobart Hurricanes and are struggling for form. The Brisbane Heat defeated the Sydney Thunder in the last game, and the side will be confident.  The Adelaide Strikers have had a poor season, and the side has lost five out of seven games. The skipper is injured, which isn’t helping their cause. The Brisbane Heat has won the last three out of four games against the Strikers, which adds to their confidence. A lot rides on the Strikers in this game, and we expect to see them pull out all the punches and win to remain in the hunt for the next round.  TEAMS PREVIEW Adelaide Strikers Preview Alex Ross is leading the side in the absence of Matthew Short. He will have to inspire confidence in the team after their 5-wicket loss against the Hobart Hurricanes in the last game. It has been a poor season for the side, and they have struggled with consistency. It is a must-win game for the side, and Ross wants to get the best out of his players.  Chris Lynn is the key player in the top order, and he must deliver a positive start with D’Arcy Short, as Brisbane Heat have their bowlers in good form. Jake Weatherald, Ollie Pope, and Alex Ross are good players in the middle order and must do well. The side expects runs in the lower middle order from Jamie Overton and James Bazley.  Brisbane Heat Preview Colin Munro’s team defeated the Sydney Thunder in the last game by 5 wickets. This win has propelled them to the fourth position on the points table, and the team will look to improve its position further with a victory in this game. They have enjoyed a good record against the Adelaide Strikers and defeated them earlier in the season. Munro and his men would draw inspiration from that win.  Colin Munro will look to lead from the front and deliver a good start with Jack Wood, as Adelaide’s bowlers have struggled this season. Matt Renshaw is in good form, and he will look to add runs in the middle order with Nathan McSweeney and Max Bryant. The lower middle order has good hitters, and the team expects fireworks from Tom Alsop and Michael Neser.  Weather Conditions The skies over Adelaide will be clear during the game. It is a good batting surface, with high-scoring games in the last two years being the norm. Bowlers struggle on this surface with little for them on it. The average first-innings score is 158 runs, and a score of 180 would be good for the team batting first. ADS vs BH Pitch Report Adelaide Oval is a good track where the batsmen have always enjoyed batting. The short boundaries around the square offer plenty of scoring opportunities to the batsmen. Fast bowlers have done well at this venue in the past as the track is hard and offers a lot of bounce, but spinners have struggled here, considering the dimensions of the ground. Toss: To Bowl The team chasing the score has won this venue’s last five out of seven games. It is a good wicket to bat on where defending has always been challenging for the side bowling second. The side that wins the toss would look to bowl first and trouble the opponents with early assistance.

Sydney Sixers vs Perth Scorchers 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 PRS Match Prediction & Analysis Match 30 of the BBL 2024-25 will see Sydney Sixers face off against Perth Scorchers at the Sydney Cricket Ground this Saturday. The Sixers, level on points with both the Thunder and Hurricanes in first and third place respectively, are sitting comfortably in the second position in the standings. A win here will help them reclaim the top spot, which they lost after suffering a defeat in their previous game. The Scorchers, on the other hand, are in fifth place with six points from seven matches. The Sixers already got the better of them earlier this season and, given their current form, will back themselves to do it again. TEAMS PREVIEW Sydney Sixers Preview After their 16-run loss to the Melbourne Stars at the MCG, the Sydney Sixers have now suffered back-to-back defeats and slipped from the top of the standings. The team struggled to chase a modest 157-run target and will be keen to bounce back with a win to steady their campaign. Complicating matters, James Vince, their leading run-scorer, has exited the season to participate in the ILT20. However, Steven Smith’s return is a welcome boost. Smith, fresh off a strong performance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, is expected to bring that form to the T20 format. Perth Scorchers Preview The Scorchers have had a tough season so far, managing just three wins from their seven games while losing four. Their most recent outing resulted in a 4-wicket loss to the Melbourne Renegades, where a modest total of 147-8 wasn’t enough to secure a win. With only three games remaining, the Scorchers must win at least two to stay in contention for the finals. Cooper Connolly has been the shining light for the team, leading the charts with 272 runs in seven games and a strike rate of 124.77. However, aside from Finn Allen and captain Ashton Turner, consistency has been hard to come by for the batting lineup. Turner has contributed 149 runs across seven games, but the remaining batters have struggled to step up. Matthew Hurst returns to the squad to provide the team with another solid batting and wicketkeeping option in place of Mitchell Marsh, who has been rested. Weather Conditions The Sydney Cricket Ground offers a surface that generally favors batters but also gives spinners something to work with as the game progresses. The ball comes on nicely, allowing stroke play, especially under lights. Pacers who hit the deck hard can extract some extra bounce, but overall, bowlers need to be smart with their variations.  Sydney’s weather this week has been pretty wet, forcing the cancellation of the previous game scheduled for Wednesday (Sydney Thunder vs Hobart Hurricanes) without any play. The forecast for Saturday isn’t much better either; expect clouds, some wind, and the possibility of thunderstorms, which could very well mess with the game. SYS vs PRS 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 Melbourne Stars in 2021, a game they won by a whopping 152 runs. Toss: To Bowl Both matches played at the Sydney Cricket Ground this season in the BBL have been won by the chasing side. Moreover, there is a forecast of thundershowers in Sydney on Saturday, which will likely push both captains to field first in this game.

NZ vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis New Zealand will take on Sri Lanka in the 3rd ODI of the 3-match ODI leg of Sri Lanka tour of New Zealand at Eden Park, Auckland on 11th January 2025 at 6:30 am IST. Sri Lanka are on a tour to New Zealand to play three T20Is and three ODIs. New Zealand won the T20I series 2-1, and now they have a series-winning lead of 2-0 against Sri Lanka with one match to go. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview New Zealand are proving to be a great ODI team especially in home conditions. They have played 16 ODIs in last five years at home and have lost only one. They have a particularly good record against Sri Lanka in the last two years where the stats are in favor of New Zealand 5-2 with one no-result. After winning the T20I series 2-1, New Zealand have won both the ODIs in the 3-match ODI series to get an unassailable lead of 2-0 against Sri Lanka. In the first ODI, New Zealand registered a huge win by 9 wickets against Sri Lanka. Winning the toss and bowling first, they restricted Sri Lanka to 178 runs in the 44th over. Matt Henry took 4 wickets for just 19 runs. Nathan Smith and Jacob Duffy shined with 2 wickets each. New Zealand completed the chase for the loss of just one wicket. Rachin Ravindra scored 4-5 while Will Young top-scored with 90 runs. Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka have had a disastrous tour of New Zealand so far. They were here to play three T20 internationals and three ODIs. Having lost the three-match T20I series 1-2 to New Zealand, they have lost the ODI series as well with a match to go after losing the second ODI as well at Hamilton. In the first ODI, they managed just 178 all-out against New Zealand’s balling attack. Avishka Fernando and Janith Liyange scored valuable runs as the rest of the batting lineup crumbled under the pressure. It was an easy win for New Zealand by 9 wickets.  In the second ODI, Sri Lanka elected to field first in a range-shortened game – 37 overs aside. By the time New Zealand’s second wicket fell at 143, they had scored at 7 runs and over against Sri Lankan attack. Mahesh Theekshana did pull things back with some lower order wickets. He ended up getting 4 wickets for 44 runs in 8 overs. Wanindu Hasaranga took 2 wickets for 39 runs in 8 overs.  Weather Conditions The weather on the match day at Eden Park, Auckland is expected to be pleasant and sunny. The temperature would range between 22 Β°C and 17 Β°C. There may be some rain in the day, but that should not abandon the game. NZ vs SL Pitch Report It is one of the most iconic cricket venues in New Zealand. Established in 1900, this venue hosted a Test Match in 1930. Since then, it has hosted many Tests, ODIs, and T20 International. Hidden Park is popular for its unique dimensions where it has very short straight boundaries. It has hosted 2015 ODI World Cup matches as well. The venue has a seating capacity of 50,000 spectators, making it one of the biggest stadiums in New Zealand. Toss: To Bowl In the 74 ODIs at this venue that ended in outright result, about 60% have been won by the team’s bowling first, whereas the rest have been won by the team’s batting first. This is typically a New Zealand venue where there is early assistance for the bowlers. The team winning the toss should bowl first here.

Hobart Hurricanes 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. 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.

IND-W vs IREW Match Prediction & Analysis Ireland tour India after 8 long years and they have never won an international game against India so far. But, they will be high on confidence after their recent wins over England and Bangladesh (In sub-continent) and will look for a victory over India.

Pratika Rawal will join Mandana at the top of the order followed by the experienced players Deepti Sharma, Jemimah Rodrigues and Richa Ghosh in the playing XI.

Sunrisers Eastern Cape vs MI Cape Town 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. SEC vs MICT Match Prediction & Analysis SA20’s third run kicks off this Thursday, with Sunrisers Eastern Cape, the defending champs, facing MI Cape Town in Gqeberha. The Sunrisers have bossed Cape Town in past clashes, taking all four games. This gives them an edge heading into this game. But, it’s a new season and a clean slate. MI Cape Town will want to forget previous letdowns and jumpstart this campaign with a win. TEAMS PREVIEW Sunrisers Eastern Cape Preview Two time defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape will be looking to make it three titles in a row as they begin a new season of the SA20.  Aiden Markram, back at the helm of a skilled squad, is set to lead by example just as he did last year, amassing 261 runs over 9 innings. However, the batter to watch out for will be Tristan Stubbs, the team’s leading run-getter in the previous season with 301 runs in 9 innings at an average of over 60 and a strike rate of 168. David Bedingham, also in fine form recently, will serve as a wildcard and could prove to be a key player for the team this year. MI Cape Town Preview In the first two editions of the tournament, MI Cape Town struggled to find their footing, finishing last in the standings both times. However, with a revamped squad and a focus on addressing past weaknesses, the team looks better prepared this year. Sadly, a hamstring injury will keep England’s Ben Stokes out of the SA20 league for three months, which is a major blow to Cape Town. In his absence, Ryan Rickelton will be a central figure for the team after an incredible last season where he racked up 530 runs across 10 innings, averaging 58 with a strike rate of 174. The middle order has dependable options like Rassie van der Dussen and Reeza Hendricks to anchor the innings, while Dewald Brevis can provide an attacking spark when needed. Hendricks, who played the past couple of years for Joburg Super Kings, has notched 411 runs over 22 innings, maintaining an average of 24.17 and a strike rate of 109.60. His last outing for South Africa saw him smash 117 runs against Pakistan, a performance that should give his team confidence as they prepare to challenge the reigning champions, Sunrisers Eastern Cape, in the opening match. Weather Conditions St George’s Park in Gqeberha offers a lively pitch for T20 cricket, often favoring batsmen with its true bounce and shorter boundaries. However, the coastal breeze can assist swing bowlers early on, while spinners might find grip as the match progresses. Expect high scores if the dew sets in, but clever bowling variations could keep things competitive. The weather in Gqeberha will be clear and breezy with very little chance of rain. SEC vs MICT Pitch Report The average first innings score at St George’s Park is 154. The highest score posted here is Durban Super Giants’ 225/3 last season versus Sunrisers Eastern Cape, a game they won by 35 runs. Toss: To Bowl Teams usually prefer to chase in day-night T20 games these days as the dew makes batting easier. So it won’t be surprising if both captains look to field first in this game.

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.

Sydney Thunder vs Hobart Hurricanes TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SYT vs HBH Match Prediction & Analysis The 2024/25 edition of the Big Bash League continues to deliver plenty of entertainment and excitement, and ahead of this game, all eight teams are separated in the table by only five points. The congested nature of the table owes something to the weather which prevented tournament pace-setters Sydney Sixers taking the field in their last match but also to the resurgence of Melbourne Stars who had looked down and out but have now won two in a row. TEAMS PREVIEW Sydney Thunder Preview Sydney Thunder have impressed so far in this campaign and although they lost their last game, against Brisbane Heat, they did well to even fulfil the fixture such was the length of their injury list! The on-field collision between Cameron Bancroft and Daniel Sams has already cost the team the services of the former for the rest of this BBL and this game is likely to come too soon for Sams who is recovering from concussion. There is good news on the availability front ahead of this match though with Australia’s latest golden-boy, opener Sam Konstas who made a name for himself with his confidence and brashness against India’s much proclaimed opening bowler Jasprit Bumrah, returning to the squad. He will open alongside the in-form captain David Warner. With the ball, Lockie Ferguson has been the standout performer this campaign although the 41 year old Dan Christian, who has come out of retirement due to the injury crisis, bowled with excellent control and variations in the last match. Hobart Hurricanes Preview Hobart Hurricanes made it four wins in a row when they beat Adelaide Strikers by five wickets with eight balls remaining on Sunday with the victory mainly thanks to the supreme lower-order hitting from Tim David who rightly took the Player of the Match award after hitting 62 not out from 28 balls. Earlier in the game, Afghan left-arm wrist spinner Waqar Salamkheil took 2/22 for the second game in a row and he will be hoping to find plenty of turn once more at the Sydney Showground. One thing the Hurricanes do have is plenty of match winners with the bat and opener Mitchell Owen has stood out thanks to his aggressive approach. With the ball, Chris Jordan continues to deliver wickets in spite of being in his 37th year. Weather Conditions According to the forecast there will be rain around Sydney for most of the day on Wednesday but it could all miss the Sydney Showground! If it does or if it doesn’t, the temperature will be no higher than 20 degrees, although the humidity levels will be touching 75% by the close. SYT vs HBH Pitch Report The Showground Stadium in Sydney is one of those venues where the batters never feel completely in and the bowlers always have a little encouragement. We predict a par score will be no higher than 175 and there will be assistance for the quicks as well as the spinners. Toss: To Bowl Although the last game at this venue was won by the team batting first, there had been a long advantage for the teams fielding first in previous fixtures. Therefore, we predict both sides will choose to bowl first if they win the toss.
