𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sydney Thunder vs Sydney Sixers𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 21 ,Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:45 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park, Australia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Big Bash League, 2024-25 Sydney Sixers have won each of their last four completed games against Sydney Thunder. Sydney Thunder vs Sydney Sixers 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 SYS Match Prediction & Analysis Sydney Sixers will face Sydney Thunder in the eighth match of the 2024-25 Big Bash League (BBL). Both teams are riding high after securing wins in their opening games, and they’ll be keen to maintain that positive energy. The Sixers, though, have a strong upper hand, having gone unbeaten against the Thunder in their last four meetings. This history gives them a psychological advantage heading into the clash. TEAMS PREVIEW Sydney Thunder Preview Daniel Sams’ late hitting and an impressive BBL debut for Sam Konstas allowed David Warner to begin his time as Sydney Thunder captain with a memorable victory against the Adelaide Strikers in Canberra. Sydney Sixers Preview Sydney Sixers started their campaign with a solid 5-wicket win against Melbourne Renegades. Chasing a decent target of 170, the Sixers romped home in 18.3 overs courtesy of superb performances by skipper Moises Henriques (53* off 37 balls), along with James Vince (40 off 29) and Jack Edwards (37 off 28). The Sixers’ batting is a force to be reckoned with, posing a threat to every bowling unit in the tournament. With Daniel Hughes, James Vince, and Josh Philippe at the top, and followed by players such as captain Moises Henriques, Jordan Silk and Sean Abbott, who regularly add important runs towards the end of innings to get the Sixers across the finish line, they have depth and power. Weather Conditions Sydney Showground Stadium typically offers a balanced pitch for T20 cricket, with relatively short boundaries. The surface is known for its true bounce and good carry, favoring both batsmen and bowlers. While pacers can find some early swing and seam movement with the new ball, spinners may find it challenging to grip and turn later in the game. Expect a high-scoring contest if conditions remain good. The weather forecast suggests clear and pleasant conditions for the game. SYT vs SYS Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Sydney Showground Stadium is 149. The highest total posted at the venue is Brisbane Heat’s 203/5 versus Sydney Thunder last year. They won that game by 8 runs. The team batting first in this match will look to score around 170-180 runs. Toss: To Bowl Four of the last five BBL games at the Sydney Showground Stadium have been won by the team chasing, suggesting that fielding first might be the better option here.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : West Indies vs Bangladesh𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 20 ,Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 05:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Arnos Vale Stadium, Arnos Vale, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd T20 2024 Bangladesh have the opportunity to complete a famous 3-0 clean sweep when they take on West Indies on Thursday in Kingstown. West Indies vs Bangladesh TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. WI vs BAN Match Prediction & Analysis Bangladesh winning a T20I series away from home is not something which happens regularly but their two victories in the opening two games have given them only their fourth away series win in 17 attempts! For West Indies, it is a case of back to the drawing board once again. They are a team who have had so many false dawns over the years but they really struggle to find consistency across all formats at the same time. TEAMS PREVIEW West Indies Preview In Tuesday’s second game of the series at the Arnos Vale Ground, West Indies seemed to have given themselves an excellent chance of levelling the series when they reduced Bangladesh to 129/7 from their 20 overs. Romario Shepherd, one of the host’s most reliable white ball bowlers, was the only member of the attack to go wicketless and Obed McCoy was the only one to have a bowling economy of over 9.00. In this game, we expect the spin-twins, Gudakesh Motie and Akeal Hosein, to get plenty of turn and to be a threat throughout with the ball. Batting wise, Brandon King and Nicholas Pooran contributed only 13 runs between themselves in the second T20I but they are likely to be the most important batters in this game. Bangladesh Preview There is so much confidence running through this Bangladesh T20I side that even a poor effort with the bat was not enough to knock them off their stride in the last game. The top two, Litton Das and Soumya Sarkar, will both be keen to improve on a poor return in Tuesday’s T20I and both have strong international records to fall back on. There could also be a promotion up the batting order for Shamim Hossain who not only impressed with 35 not out from number eight but did it from only 17 balls. With the ball, the entire attack were excellent in terms of keeping the runs down and pace bowler Taskin Ahmed stood out with his figures of 3/16. Once again, there are plenty of match-winners with the ball for Bangladesh, ready to step up! Weather Conditions The forecast is for very humid conditions throughout this game on Thursday evening in Kingstown. It will be cloudy from start to finish with the temperature staying around 26 degrees. WI vs BAN Pitch Report After the first game of the series yielded 287 runs, the second match saw that total drop to 229! We do not expect a run-fest in this final T20I with a par total likely to be no higher than 140. Toss: To Bat This pitch tends to slow down as the game progresses so we are predicting that both captains will go out to the middle for the toss with the intention of batting first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Adelaide Strikers vs Melbourne Stars 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 20 ,Friday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 17:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Adelaide Oval, North Adelaide, Australia 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Big Bash League, 2024-25 Adelaide Strikers’ quest to make a strong comeback Adelaide Strikers vs Melbourne Stars 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. ADS vs MLS Match Prediction & Analysis The Big Bash League 2024-25 has seen exciting games. The competition is heating up, and Adelaide Strikers will look for their first win as they take on the Melbourne Stars in the 6th match. The Strikers lost their first game against the Sydney Thunder and shall look to make a strong comeback. Melbourne Stars will face the heat going into this game after losing against Brisbane Heat by 8 wickets. The Melbourne Stars have lost both the games they have played, and the team is struggling with its form. The bowling attack lacks teeth, and the team needs a turnaround from the bowlers to win this contest. Adelaide Strikers have their batsmen in good form, and it will be interesting to see if the Melbourne Stars can stop the downward slide with a strong comeback. TEAMS PREVIEW Adelaide Strikers Preview Matthew Short’s side hasn’t had the perfect start to the season. In a nail-biting contest, they went down against the Sydney Thunder by 2 wickets. While the batsmen did well in the last game, the bowling attack had a poor outing. Short would expect a better performance from his bowlers and look to exploit Melbourne Stars’ lack of form. Matthew Short will look to lead from the front and deliver a good start with Jake Weatherald, who played well in the last game. Chris Lynn is a powerful striker, and he must build partnerships with Harry Nielsen and Alex Ross in the middle order. The side has depth in the batting, and we should expect a good show from Jamie Overton, Fabian Allen, and James Bazley. Melbourne Stars Preview Marcus Stoinis’ team will be under pressure heading into this game. They have lost back-to-back games and sit at the bottom of the points table. They struggled in the last game against Brisbane Heat in an 8-wicket loss. Alarm bells have started ringing in the camp, and Stoinis expects his players to pull up their socks and perform well. The opening combination isn’t working for the team, and the side expects Thomas Rogers and Joe Clarke to set a strong platform at the top. Sam Harper will look to steer the innings in the middle order and add runs with Stoinis and Hilton Cartwright. They have depth in the lineup and expect Beau Webster and Tom Curran to do the heavy lifting in the death overs. Weather Conditions We expect clear skies over Adelaide. It is a high-scoring wicket, with high-scoring games in the last two years. Bowlers find it hard to bowl on this surface with little for them on it. The average first-innings score is 158 runs, and the first side to bat would need at least 180 runs on the board. ADS vs MLS Pitch Report Adelaide Oval is one of the best batting surfaces in Australia. It has short boundaries around the square, allowing batsmen to play their strokes freely. Fast bowlers have done well at this venue, but spinners have always struggled as there is little margin for error due to the dimensions of the ground. Toss: To Bowl The team chasing the score has won the last four games at this venue. It is a good wicket to bat on where defending scores haven’t been easy. The side that wins the toss would look to bowl first and restrict the opponents to a small total.

MLR vs HBH Match Prediction & Analysis It is the 5th game in the Big Bash League 2024-25. The Melbourne Renegades will look to make a strong comeback as they take on the Hobart Hurricanes. The Renegades made a poor start to the tournament, losing against the Sydney Sixers in their first game. The Hurricanes begin their campaign with this game and will look to win and set the tone for the rest of the season. The Hobart Hurricanes have enjoyed a good record against the Melbourne Renegades, winning the last five out of six games between the two teams. They have a strong batting lineup and shall look to drive home a win. The Renegades will be under pressure in this game. They struggled with the ball in the last game, and it will be interesting to see if the team can make a comeback. TEAMS PREVIEW Melbourne Renegades Preview It wasn’t the kind of start that Will Sutherland and his team would have liked. They went down by Sydney Sixers in their opening game by 5 wickets. The side batted well but needs a better show from the bowlers. They must win this game and avoid repeating their poor show in the first half as in the last season. Jake Fraser-McGurk and Josh Brown started well in the last game, and the team expects them to deliver an electrifying start. Tim Seifert batted well in the last game, and he must add runs in the middle order with Mackenzie Harvey and Laurie Evans. Sutherland and Hassan Khan add depth to this batting lineup and must add runs in the death overs. The bowling attack struggled in the last game. Thomas Rogers and Fergus O’Neill bowled poorly in the last game with the new ball, and the team expects a better show. Adam Zampa is the key bowler in the side, and he must do well in the middle overs with Kane Richardson. Hassan Khan and Sutherland will look to do well in the supporting role. Hobart Hurricanes Preview Nathan Ellis’ side didn’t have a great season in the last edition. The side won only four out of ten games and didn’t qualify for the playoffs. The team will look to make a strong start in the season with a win. They have a good record against the Melbourne Renegades, and Ellis would like a strong show from his players to extend this record. Matthew Wade is an experienced player and must deliver a strong start with Caleb Jewell. The middle order wasn’t consistent last season, and the team would like to see a good show from Macalister Wright, Ben McDermott, and Mitchell Owen. Tim David is a good finisher and looks forward to doing well with Nikhil Chaudhary and Chris Jordan. Riley Meredith and Nathan Ellis are key bowlers for the team, and they must strike early and put the Renegades out under pressure. The team will look for a good show from Chris Jordan and Nikhil Chaudhary in the middle overs. Tim David, Patrick Dooley, and Mitchell Owen complete a formidable attack for the team. Weather Conditions Geelong will have clear skies on December 17. We expect to see more challenging batting conditions like in the past. There would be assistance for the bowlers in this game. The average first-innings score is 141 runs, and the side batting first would like to have 160 or more on the board to feel confident. MLR vs HBH Pitch Report Simonds Stadium, Geelong, is a small ground, and there have been high-scoring games in the past. Batting is easy on this track as the ball comes to the bat nicely. Fast bowlers can move the ball in the air and have done well. It is a challenging venue for the spinners as they have little assistance on this surface. Toss: To Bowl Most teams in the past have won games chasing scores at this venue. The wicket is good here and allows batters to play their strokes freely. However, it can be tricky at the start of the game, creating doubts in the batsmen’s minds. Hence, the side that wins the toss would have little hesitation in opting to bowl first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 19 ,Thursday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Harare Sports Club, Harare, Zimbabwe𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd ODI 2024 Zimbabwe eye a comeback with the bat New Zealand Women vs Australia 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. ZIM vs AFG Match Prediction & Analysis Though the 1st ODI was washed out due to rain, Afghanistan had found themselves on top of the game after they won the toss and opted to bowl first. The hosts were reduced to 5 down for 44 runs in the 10th Over. Craig Ervine will be concerned about the batting collapse in the first match and will expect a quick turnaround as they take on Afghanistan in the second game at the same venue in Harare. Afghanistan are trying out some new faces in the series. There were no Gulbadin Naib and Mujeeb Ur Rahman in the bowling attack while Rahmanullah Gurbaz was also missing from the top-order. TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview It is safe to say that rain saved the home team in the opening game. It could have been a humiliating defeat had the game gone on. Zimbabwe need to find answers to their batting troubles. Craig Ervine, Sean Williams, and Sikandar Raza are the experienced players in the lower middle order. These 3 will be expected to deliver crucial runs and also build partnerships. However, a lot depends on the top order. A top-order collapse would affect the chances of reaching a competitive total. Ben Curran is opening the innings alongside wicket-keeper batsman Tadiwanashe Marumani. Afghanistan Preview Afghanistan will be confident after their recent outing where their bowlers put Zimbabwe on the back foot. AM Ghazanfar and Azmatullah Omarzai looked threatening with the ball. Along with Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, and Fazalhaq Farooqi, this bowling attack is as strong as it gets. Afghanistan bounced back after the first T20I loss and secured a 2-1 series win. The visitors haven’t had any easy outings on this wicket either and will be fully aware of the batting challenges the pitch poses. They have also got a few inexperienced players in the side like Sediquallah Atal and Abdul Malik who could be seen in the top order. The likes of Rahmat Shah and skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi will play a key role in the middle order. These two have played many impactful knocks against quality sides in the past including in the World Cup. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy with a high of 27 degrees Celsius in Harare. Though the previous match was washed out due to rain we expect to have a result in the 2nd ODI as there is no rain forecast on the match day. ZIM vs AFG Pitch Report It is a bowling-friendly wicket where the average 1st innings score in the last 10 ODIs has come down to 188 runs. We reckon anything around 250 will be a highly competitive total on this wicket. Bowlers will be key to victory at this venue and both teams have some promising pacers in the side. Toss: To Bowl Teams bowling first have won 103 of the 198 ODIs played at the Harare Sports Club in Harare. Afghanistan were on top of the game in the opening match after winning the toss and opting to bowl first. Both teams will be eager to bowl first and get the upper hand in the contest with early wickets.
