𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Zimbabwe vs Ireland𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 25, Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Harare Sports Club, Harare, Zimbabwe𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd T20I 2025 Rain could disrupt proceedings in the third game with a chance of a few showers and a thunderstorm rolling in later in the afternoon. Zimbabwe vs Ireland 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 IRE Match Prediction & Analysis Ireland suffered a narrow three-wicket defeat in a closely contested second T20, handing Zimbabwe a 1-0 lead in the series. All eyes are now on the third and final T20I, set to take place in Harare on Tuesday. Ireland will aim to bounce back and level the series with a win, while Zimbabwe will be determined to maintain their momentum and secure a series victory. TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview Zimbabwe edged out Ireland by three wickets in the second T20I, successfully chasing 138 in 19.2 overs. They got off to a shaky start, slumping to 14-3 within the first four overs. But thanks to Ryan Burl’s composed 27 off 20 and an unbeaten 43 off 30 from Tony Munyonga, they crossed the line comfortably in the end. Zimbabwe’s batting depth has been a real asset in this format, giving them the freedom to attack without leaning too heavily on one player. Brian Bennett and Wessly Madhevere have been consistent at the top and are likely to enjoy batting on this surface. Ireland Preview After a below-par performance in the second T20I, Ireland will aim to hit back strongly in the third match. Their batting let them down last time, as they could only manage 137-8. Lorcan Tucker (46 off 40) and Harry Tector (28 off 20) were the standout performers, but the rest of the team didn’t contribute enough. If Ireland want to get back on track, their batters need to fire. Paul Stirling, Curtis Campher, and George Dockrell have the talent to pile on the runs and will be expected to rise to the occasion. Stirling, in particular, brings a lot of experience to the table and will be counted on to play a big role. Tucker’s presence at the top of the order is essential. Whether it’s by setting a brisk pace or rebuilding after early setbacks, his recent form makes him a key player for Ireland. In terms of bowling, Craig Young and Graham Hume are set to play pivotal roles. Young was brilliant in the previous game, picking up 4-24 in his four overs. Meanwhile, Josh Little and Benjamin White add depth to Ireland’s attack and could prove effective in taking wickets when it matters. Weather Conditions The pitch at Harare Sports Club is expected to offer a fair contest between bat and ball. It should provide a hard surface with even bounce, which will help the seamers throughout. Spinners might get some assistance as the game progresses into the middle overs. The outfield is fast and in excellent condition, which could lead to bigger hits and quicker runs. The weather forecast suggests cloudy conditions, with a couple of showers and a possible thunderstorm expected in the afternoon and later in the day. ZIM vs IRE Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Harare Sports Club is 155. The highest score posted here is India’s 234-2 against Zimbabwe in 2024, a game they won comfortably. Toss: To Bowl As the last match showed, chasing is usually the better option at Harare when conditions are cloudy and we expect both captains to field first if they win the toss in this match.

Australia vs South Africa, ICCCT, Today Match Prediction

Vann Hiso2 months ago2 months ago05 mins

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Australia vs South Africa 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 25, Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi, Pakistan 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 7th ODI 2025 Australia and South Africa both go in search of their second successive win in this year’s ICC Champions Trophy in this clash in Rawalpindi! Australia vs South Africa 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. AUS vs RSA Match Prediction & Analysis Both teams came into their opening fixtures needing to find some confidence after suffering injuries to key pace bowlers and struggling in this format of late but wins by five wickets over England and by 107 runs over Afghanistan mean Australia and South Africa are both in strong positions ahead of this Group B clash on Tuesday. Games between these sides are rarely dull, from the 1999 Cricket World Cup semi-final to the ‘sandpapergate’ incident in Test cricket during the last decade, these are two teams who like to play hard. TEAMS PREVIEW Australia Preview It is not often that a team conceded 351 runs in an ODI but then goes on and wins the game with 15 balls remaining but that is exactly what Australia did when they played their great rivals England on Saturday. Although they would like to have conceded fewer runs, there were some fine performances with Ben Dwarshuis continuing to show that he is an international level cricketer by dismissing both Phil Salt and Jamie Smith in the powerplay. Adam Zampa produced another impressive display of spin bowling and Nathan Ellis showed the value of variations in keeping the run-rate down. South Africa Preview There could be a selection dilemma for South Africa ahead of this game after Ryan Rickelton came into the team in place of the injured Heinrich Klaasen against Afghanistan and hit 103 runs from 106 balls at the top of the order! With that century contributing to a victory by 107 runs, it could be that South Africa feel they can afford to give Klaasen a few more days rest but if not then Tony de Zorzi’s place at the top of the order could be in danger. That’s because there were also useful half-centuries from Temba Bavuma, Rassie van der Dussen and Aiden Markram in a fine batting display. Weather Conditions It does not look like being a particularly bright and sunny day in Rawalpindi on Tuesday. It will be cloudy and humid throughout with a good chance of rain in both innings. AUS vs RSA Pitch Report The pitch in Rawalpindi is a good one for batting so with the overhead conditions favouring the bowlers it could be a leveller! Whoever bats first will be looking to post a total of 300+. Toss: To Bowl Of the last five ODIs at this venue, only one has been won by the team batting first without the use of a super-over! And with the conditions looking good for bowlers, we expect both teams to want to chase.

Royal Challengers Bangalore Women vs UP Warriorz Women, WPLT20, Today Match Prediction

Vann Hiso2 months ago2 months ago07 mins

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Royal Challengers Bangalore Women vs UP Warriorz Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 24, Monday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Womens Premier League, 2025 Must-win game for Gujarat Giants to reach playoffs Royal Challengers Bangalore Women vs UP Warriorz 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. RCBW vs UPW Match Prediction & Analysis Royal Challengers Bangalore Women suffered their first defeat of the season after winning two consecutive matches. They will take on the UP Warriorz Women at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. While the Warriorz secured their first win of the season in their last match, their batting struggles continue. They posted 177 runs while batting first despite a middle-order collapse. Kim Garth, Georgia Warehma, and Renuka Singh Thakur will pose a tough challenge to this struggling batting lineup of UP Warriorz. These three are the reliable and consistent bowlers in the RCB squad. While Kiran Navgire has looked promising at the top for the Warriorz, they also need the skipper Deepti Sharma to step up and deliver at number 3. There are some promising bowlers in this squad and will play a key role in securing another win. TEAMS PREVIEW Royal Challengers Bangalore Preview Smriti Mandhana will be happy with her team’s performances so far. Though they suffered a defeat in the last match, there were some positives for the home team. Ellyse Perry scored a brilliant 83-run knock at number 3 to keep RCB Women in the game. Kim Garth and Georgia Wareham were quite impressive with the ball and made things difficult for the opposition while defending 167 runs. The lower middle-order of Kanika Ahuja and Richa Ghosh will be crucial in making a comeback in this game. The two played a key role in the successful run-chase in their opening game. Openers Mandhana and Daniel Wyatt-Hodge have been inconsistent so far and will have all eyes on them in this match. The top 4 is very strong on paper and the skipper will expect it to deliver in the game as well. UP Warriorz Preview UP Warriorz have a big concern to address going ahead in the league. Their batting has suffered too many collapses so far and skipper Deepti Sharma needs to find a way out of this. She needs to lead the side with a captain’s knock at number 3. The skipper will need support from Tahlia McGrath to build a crucial partnership in the middle. The opening batter Kiran Navgire has shown great promise and scored a brilliant fifty against DC in a recent outing. Her opening partner Vrinda Dinesh hasn’t looked in good touch so far. The inconsistencies in the middle-order are a major cause of worry for the UP Warriorz coming into this match. They haven’t got any reliable batters in the middle order. Batting all-rounder Chinelle Henry scored 62 off 23 balls at number 8 leading the Warriorz to a 177-run total batting first in the last game. The batting lineup is quite deep on paper but the current form doesn’t promise much. Grace Harris is another batting all-rounder to watch out for at number 6. In the bowling department, Sophie Ecclestone, Deepti Sharma, and Grace Harris are the key wicket-takers. There are other promising bowling options in this bowling attack like Tahlia McGrath and Kranti Goud. Weather Conditions The skies will be clear in Bengaluru with a high of 27 degrees Celsius around the time of the match. There are no rain or clouds expected during the game and we expect an uninterrupted T20 game. RCBW vs UPW Pitch Report It is a batting-friendly pitch at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium where teams have scored and chased down big totals in the past. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 T20 games here is 170 runs. We reckon the team batting first should aim for 180+ to stay competitive in the game. Toss: To Bowl Though teams bowling first have won just one of the two matches played here this season, we reckon the chasing team will have the advantage in this game. The pitch here is known for helping the batters and we’ve seen many high-scoring games where the team batting second has emerged victorious.

Bangladesh vs New Zealand, ICCCT, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Bangladesh vs New Zealand𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 24, Monday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi, Pakistan 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 6th ODI 2025 It’s must-win territory already for Bangladesh with New Zealand looking to book their place in the semi-finals. Bangladesh vs New Zealand TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. BAN vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis One of the joys of an ICC Champions Trophy tournament is that things move very quickly. Even in the group stage, lose once and your place in the semi-finals is immediately in danger – lose twice and you may as well hail a taxi straight to the airport! That’s the situation Bangladesh are hoping to avoid after their six wicket loss to tournament-favourites India on Thursday. But this will be a very tough clash for them against the in-form Black Caps. And if Bangladesh do lose, it could mean that their final group stage match against Pakistan becomes something of a dead rubber. TEAMS PREVIEW Bangladesh Preview After finding themselves 35/5 inside nine overs in their opening game against India, Bangladesh could have been forgiven for throwing the towel in and getting the game over and done with at the earliest opportunity. But instead, they showed admirable tenacity and resolve to rebuild the innings and posted 228 all out which kept them in the game. Crucial to the rebuild were Towhid Hridoy (100 runs from 118 balls) and Jaker Ali (68 runs from 114 balls) but in this game against New Zealand, the Tigers need the top four of Tanzid Hasan, Soumya Sarkar, captain Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mehidy Hasan Miraz to step up. Crucially, the latter three have all done it on the big stage before so there is some hope! With the ball, spinners Richad Hossain and Miraz were both treated with respect by the Indian batters and they should be a threat again in this fixture. As will the pacers Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman, both of who have the ability to knock over the best in the world. New Zealand Preview The greatest surprise from New Zealand’s convincing victory over hosts and reigning champions Pakistan in Karachi on Wednesday was that anyone was in anyway surprised! The Black Caps not only regularly turn-up at these marquee ICC events but have also been playing excellent cricket, while winning all their games, since arriving in Pakistan at the start of the month. A problem for all teams against Mitchell Santner’s side is that all of their batters have now made big scores over the duration of this tour. And if that wasn’t a problem, Rachin Ravindra will soon be fit to push his claims in the batting line-up as well. Will Young and Tom Latham both come into this match after hitting centuries on Wednesday. Matt Henry continues to be one of the most consistently top performing pace bowlers in world cricket and Will O’Rourke is not far behind with his bounce causing particular issues. New Zealand also have excellent spin options in Michael Bracewell and captain Santner! Weather Conditions The forecast is for a cloudy day throughout Monday in Rawalpindi with the temperature beginning at 18 degrees. It may get up to 23 at some stage before dipping back down to around 18 by the close. BAN vs NZ Pitch Report This has always been a good batting strip in Rawalpindi and it would be a surprise if the team batting first did not post a total of at least 330. Expect good pace, bounce and carry. Toss: To Bowl Although this will be the first ODI in Rawalpindi for nearly two years, four of the last five have been won by the team chasing. Therefore, our prediction is that both captains will be looking to bowl first on Monday.

Zimbabwe vs Ireland, IRE vs ZIM 2025, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Zimbabwe vs Ireland𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 23, Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 17:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Harare Sports Club, Harare, Zimbabwe𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd T20 2025 Zimbabwe’s big test after a poor batting show in the first game Zimbabwe vs Ireland 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 IRE Match Prediction & Analysis The three-match T20i series has started on a sour note. The poor weather cut down the game, which was finally abandoned after the first innings. With this, the series is now a two-match affair, and both teams will look to take an unassailable lead. Both teams will look to put their best foot forward in this game. Ireland has dominated Zimbabwe in the last few years and has won the last two games between the two teams. They have a more explosive batting lineup and shall look to take full advantage of it. Zimbabweans have a poor record at Harare, and it will be interesting to see if the team can overcome this. TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview Sikandar Raza’s team had a scare in the last game. It was a lucky escape for the team as they didn’t have much on the scoreboard to defend when rain came to their rescue. The Zimbabwean skipper would like his players to draw inspiration from their good shows in the ODIs. They must play to their strengths and fully use the home advantage. Brian Bennett has batted well in the last few games and will aim to set up a big partnership with Tadiwanashee Marumani. Raza must do well in the middle order and build partnerships with Wesley Madhevere and Ryan Burl. Tony Munyonga and Tashinga Musekiwa must do well in the finishers’ role. Richard Ngarava and Blessing Muzarabani know the conditions well, and the pair must get the early breakthroughs to put the Irish team under pressure. Wellington Masakadza and Trevor Gwandu must bowl well in the middle overs, as their opponents have a strong batting lineup. Raza and Ryan Burl add depth to the attack. Ireland Preview Paul Stirling and his men will be upset with the outcome of the last game. They had restricted Zimbabwe to a small total in the game and could have won with their batting firepower. Stirling would like his men to pull out their best performance in this game and take an unassailable lead in the series. Paul Stirling will look to lead from the front and deliver a strong start with Lorcan Tucker, as their opponents have a strong pace attack. Harry Tector and Curtis Campher are experienced batters and want to add runs in the middle order with Neil Rock. George Dockrell and Gareth Delany must add quick runs in the lower middle order. The team will expect a good start in this game from Graham Hume and Craig Young after their good show in the last game. Joshua Little is the key bowler in this attack and will look to do well in the middle overs with Curtis Campher. The side will also like tight bowling from Benjamin White and Gareth Delany. Weather Conditions There would be cloudy skies over Harare. The pitch will be a tough one to bat on. Batsmen will have to be cautious in their approach and play patiently. The average first-inning score is just above 155 runs, and the team batting first would be happy to have 180 runs on the board. ZIM vs IRE Pitch Report The pitch at Harare Sports Club is slow, which creates problems for the batsmen. The large outfield is also a challenge. Most players are used to playing in smaller parks in this format. There is early assistance for the fast bowlers, and spinners have done well as the ball tends to stop on the batsmen, creating doubts in their minds. Toss: To Bowl The track is dual-paced, and batting against the spinners is difficult. Batting won’t be easy here at the start of the game, and chasing the score puts the team at an advantage in rain-affected contests. The side winning the toss here would like to bowl first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Pakistan vs India𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 23, Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 5th ODI 2025 The momentum clearly favors India heading into this clash, with four wins from their last five ODI outings. Pakistan’s recent form tells a different story, as they’ve stumbled in three of their previous five matches in this format. Pakistan vs India TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. PAK vs IND Match Prediction & Analysis The biggest rivalry in cricket takes center stage this Sunday at Dubai, as India and Pakistan lock horns in what promises to be an explosive Champions Trophy encounter. India come into this matchup riding high after outplaying Bangladesh in their opening game, while Pakistan are looking to regroup following a heavy defeat to New Zealand. Recent history in this format tilts heavily in India’s favor, and with their current hot streak, they’re tipped to come out on top in this high-voltage clash. TEAMS PREVIEW Pakistan Preview Pakistan’s Champions Trophy campaign started on the worst possible note, suffering a heavy defeat against New Zealand on home soil. The Kiwis, after being in trouble at 73-3, recovered brilliantly to post a commanding 320-5. In response, Pakistan struggled to keep up with the required rate and folded for 260. The loss exposed Pakistan’s issues in all areas, and they will need a much-improved effort to challenge India. Adding to their concerns, they will now be without Fakhar Zaman, who has been ruled out due to injury. Imam-ul-Haq has been called in as his replacement for the remainder of the tournament. India Preview India began their Champions Trophy run with a solid six-wicket win over Bangladesh. After bowling out their opponents for 228 on a sluggish pitch, they chased the target down in 46.3 overs. While there were some tense moments, Shubman Gill’s unbeaten 101 ensured a smooth finish, with KL Rahul (41* off 47) and Rohit Sharma (41 off 36) contributing crucial runs. Looking ahead, India will be hoping for more stability from their middle order, which has had a habit of losing wickets cheaply before the lower order bails them out. Virat Kohli’s form is another concern, but his track record in big matches and a career average of 52.15 against Pakistan make him a player to watch. Shubman Gill’s recent performances make him India’s most in-form batter at the moment, having scored two centuries and four straight 50+ scores. KL Rahul, who looked fluent in the last game, is also expected to play an important role. Weather Conditions The Dubai pitch showed a sluggish character in the match between India and Bangladesh, with the surface looking dry and slightly cracked. Early moisture might help seamers in the first hour, but expect the pitch to slow down considerably as the game progresses. The ball’s likely to grip and turn for spinners, particularly in the middle overs. Batting second could be tricky under lights, with dew playing a minimal role. The weather in Dubai will be warm, pleasant, and clear with absolutely no chance of any rain interruption. PAK vs IND Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is just 219, showing that this isn’t a high-scoring venue. We reckon a score of around 260-270 by the team batting first will be challenging to chase. Toss: To Bat Teams batting second at Dubai International Cricket Stadium have found success recently, winning five of the previous six ODIs at this venue. But the sticky wicket we witnessed in the last match might change tactics – both sides will likely prefer setting a target rather than chasing on this tricky surface.

Delhi Capitals Women vs UP Warriorz Women, WPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Delhi Capitals Women vs UP Warriorz Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 22, Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Womens Premier League, 2025 Delhi Capitals Women have dominated UP Warriorz Women in the Women’s Premier League, winning four out of their five encounters. Delhi Capitals Women vs UP Warriorz 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. DCW vs UPW Match Prediction & Analysis Match eight of the 2025 Women’s Premier League brings us to the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium where Delhi Capitals Women meet UP Warriorz Women. Fresh from beating UP earlier this week, Delhi jumped to second place with that convincing victory. Things look bleak for UP though – they’re stuck at the bottom after dropping their last two matches. Given how both teams are playing, Delhi looks well-placed to come out on top again. TEAMS PREVIEW Delhi Capitals Preview Delhi Capitals Women have had a strong campaign so far, winning two out of their three games. Their most recent outing saw them secure a comfortable 7-wicket victory over UP Warriorz Women—who they’ll be facing again next—successfully chasing down a 167-run target with one delivery to spare. Skipper Meg Lanning anchored the chase with a fluent 69 off 49 balls, while Annabel Sutherland (41* off 35) and Marizanne Kapp (29* off 17) provided valuable support to see the team home. Lanning, Sutherland, and Kapp will be the core of Delhi’s batting order, and their performances will be key in the upcoming matches. One of them is likely to deliver another match-winning innings in the next game. Meanwhile, Jemimah Rodrigues has had a quiet start to the season, but given her class, a turnaround could be on the cards soon. On the bowling front, Sutherland has been Delhi’s most consistent performer, picking up five wickets in three matches at an economy of 8.50. Shikha Pandey and Minnu Mani have also chipped in with five wickets between them, and their contributions could be crucial in shaping the outcome of future games. UP Warriorz Preview UP Warriorz Women are struggling to find their rhythm this season, having suffered back-to-back losses, with their latest defeat coming against Delhi Capitals. The next few games give them a chance to regroup and work their way back into form. Kiran Navgire has been the standout performer with the bat, leading the team’s scoring charts with 66 runs in two innings at a blistering strike rate of 188.57. Shweta Sehrawat has chipped in with 53 runs across two matches, providing stability in the middle order. Deepti Sharma has added 46 runs so far and will be expected to deliver key contributions when needed. Sophie Ecclestone has led the bowling attack well, picking up three wickets in two outings while keeping her economy rate at 5.87. Grace Harris and Tahlia McGrath have found wickets too, but they’ll need to be sharper to contain Delhi’s batters. Weather Conditions The Chinnaswamy pitch shows a nice covering of grass but looks hard underneath – perfect for batters to play their shots. Expect good bounce and carry throughout. While spinners might not get much help, pacers could exploit some early movement under lights. The outfield is lightning quick as usual. Expect pleasant conditions in Bengaluru during the game with no chances of disruptions because of rain. DCW vs UPW Pitch Report Average first innings scores at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium hover around 150-160 runs, with dew likely to play a role later. The highest total posted at the venue is RCB Women’s 198-3 versus UP Warriorz Women, a game they won by 23 runs. Toss: To Bowl Teams batting second have found consistent success at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium. The numbers back this up – in last year’s Women’s Premier League, the chasing side walked away with wins in seven out of 11 matches here. Expect both teams to opt for bowling first if they win the toss.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Zimbabwe vs Ireland 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 22, Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 17:00 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Harare Sports Club, Harare, Zimbabwe 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st T20 2025 Ireland have dominated Zimbabwe in 20-over cricket in recent years, emerging victorious in three of their last five meetings. Zimbabwe vs Ireland 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 IRE Match Prediction & Analysis Zimbabwe and Ireland switch gears from ODIs to T20Is this weekend, kicking off an exciting three-match series at Harare. Fresh off their 2-1 ODI triumph, the home team will look to keep their momentum going in the shorter format. But T20 cricket brings its own unpredictable nature, giving both sides a fresh chance at success. With Sikandar Raza leading the charge for Zimbabwe and Paul Stirling marshaling his Irish troops, we’re in for some explosive cricket as Ireland aims to bounce back from their recent setbacks. TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview Zimbabwe are set for the T20I series with a well-balanced squad that includes both experienced players and up-and-coming talents. Brian Bennett and Dion Myers are expected to lead the charge at the top, bringing stability while also keeping the scoreboard moving. In the middle order, Wessly Madhevere and Sikandar Raza add reliability. Raza, in particular, has been in excellent form, averaging 40 against Ireland in T20Is, making him a key figure in the middle overs. As for the bowling, Richard Ngarava and Blessing Muzarabani will take charge with the new ball. Both pacers are well-versed in these conditions and could make life difficult for Ireland’s top order. Ireland Preview Ireland will be eager to bounce back in the T20Is after falling short in the ODI series. Their form in 20-over matches has been inconsistent—they managed to hold South Africa to a 1-1 draw at home but also suffered unexpected setbacks, including a loss to Canada in last year’s T20 World Cup. To improve their chances, Ireland’s batting lineup needs to deliver. Paul Stirling, Harry Tector, and George Dockrell have the ability to put up big scores. Stirling, in particular, has an excellent record against Zimbabwe with a T20I average of 40.70. Curtis Campher and Lorcan Tucker will be crucial in the middle order, whether that means accelerating the run rate or steadying things if early wickets fall. On the bowling side, Mark Adair and Graham Hume are expected to play major roles in taking wickets, with Adair’s ability to extract movement off the pitch making him a threat. Josh Little and Matthew Humphreys could also make an impact as wicket-taking options for Ireland. Weather Conditions The Harare Sports Club pitch presents a balanced surface. We are likely to see a firm track with consistent bounce. Short boundaries square of the wicket will encourage aggressive batting, though spinners could find some grip in the middle overs. The outfield is quick and well-maintained. The weather will be cloudy with chances of a couple of showers and a thunderstorm in the afternoon and later. ZIM vs IRE Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Harare Sports Club is 157. The highest score posted here is India’s 234-2 against Zimbabwe in 2024. Toss: To Bowl Due to the forecast of cloudy skies and the possibility of rain in the afternoon, it is likely that both teams will opt to field first in the hope of getting early wickets.

Australia vs England, ICCCT, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Australia vs England 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 22, Saturday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore Cantt, Pakistan 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 4th ODI 2025 Australia and England begin their 2025 ICC Champions Trophy with a clash in Lahore! Australia 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. AUS vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis Whenever Australia and England go head to head in any sport, there is plenty at stake and this game will be no different as both look to get off to a winning start in Group B of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy. There is an Ashes series on the horizon for late in the year but all focus will be on this clash in Lahore as both sides look to put poor recent ODI performances and poor ICC Champions Trophy showing behind them. Australia may have won the last Cricket World Cup but they are without their top three pace bowlers in Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood so their attack may lack some of it’s usual potency. TEAMS PREVIEW Australia Preview After dominating the Test series and winning 2-0, the boot was on the other foot in the ODI series as Australia were beaten 2-0 without putting up a fight on their recent tour to Sri Lanka. As a result, Steven Smith’s side must raise their game ahead of this clash even if their opponents are also in disappointing form. For a proud cricketing nation like Australia, their recent record in the ICC Champions Trophy, where they haven’t won a game since 2009, make for painful reading, so they will be looking to their experienced heads to get them through this opener. Top of that list will be Travis Head who has an exceptional ODI record against England and captain Smith who has hit over 17,000 international runs. England Preview England have been a very disappointing ODI side since they won the 2019 Cricket World Cup courtesy of the now famous Super-Over against New Zealand at Lord’s. But with Brendan McCullum leading the side, hopes are high that they could find some form from nowhere and dominate this tournament with an aggressive batting style. Key to the team will be opener Ben Duckett who has just recovered from an injury but has an excellent record in this format, particularly against Australia. Phil Salt will take on the role of ‘pinch hitter’ and will look to clear the boundary at every opportunity in the powerplay. With the ball, Adil Rashid has a strong record against Australia and the pace of Jofra Archer is always a point of difference across any format, particularly when he is fully fit. Weather Conditions The forecast is for pleasant weather in Lahore throughout Saturday with the temperature up at 22 degrees from the first ball. Although this is a day-nighter, the temperature will not drop below 19 degrees. AUS vs ENG Pitch Report As seen in the recently completed Pakistan Tri-Nation Series, this is a good batting wicket with players generally finding it easy to score runs at a steady pace outside of the powerplay. A par score will be around 350. Toss: To Bat There is an even spread of victories for teams batting first and bowling first in recent 50-over internationals at the Gaddafi Stadium. Humidity levels will increase in the second half of the game so we predict that both sides will want to bat first on Saturday.

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women will be up against the Mumbai Indians Women in the 8th game as both teams look to extend their dominance. The Royal Challengers defeated the Delhi Capitals Women in their last game. The Mumbai Indians Women also enter this contest with a win against the Gujarat Giants Women. The two teams have shared a close rivalry. In the five games between the two teams, the Mumbai Indians Women have won on three occasions. They have a strong batting lineup and shall look to leverage this strength. RCB Women won’t have their opponents have it easy in this game. With both teams looking in good form, we expect this contest to go down the wire. TEAMS PREVIEW Royal Challengers Bangalore Preview Smriti Mandhana’s team has picked up steam. They have won back-to-back games and look confident. The side defeated the Delhi Capitals Women in the last game by 8 wickets. The batting lineup is doing well, and the bowling attack has also troubled the batters. They face their toughest opponents in this game, and Mandhana wants to see a good show from her players. Smriti Mandhana led from the front in the last game and set up a 107-run stand with Danielle Wyatt-Hodge. The pair will look to deliver a similar start in this game. Richa Ghosh is in good form, and she will look to add runs in the middle order with Ellyse Perry and Raghvi Bist. The team expects a good show in the lower middle order from Kanika Ahuja and Georgia Wareham. Mumbai Indians Preview Harmanpreet Kaur’s team made a strong comeback in their second game after losing the first. The bowling attack performed brilliantly in the last game against the Gujarat Giants Women to set up a 5-wicket win. Their opponents are riding great form coming into this game, and Kaur would like to have her players on their toes to win and move up on the points table. Hayley Matthews and Yastika Bhatia haven’t found their form yet, and the team expects them to deliver a good start. Nat Sciver-Brunt is enjoying sublime form and will look to do well in the middle order with Harmanpreet Kaur and Amelia Kerr. G Kamalini, Amanjot Kaur and Sanjeevan Sajana add depth to the batting lineup. The team will expect a strong show in this game from Shabnim Ismail and Nat Sciver-Brunt after their good show against the Gujarat Giants. Hayley Matthews was the best bowler for the team in the last game and will look to do well in the middle overs with Amelia Kerr. Parunika Sisodia and Amanjot Kaur strengthen the attack with their variety. Weather Conditions We expect another warm evening in Bengaluru. The flat wicket is easy for the batters. There is very little assistance for the bowlers. The average first innings score at this venue is 153 runs. The side batting first would need a minimum of 170 runs to feel safe on this track. RCBW vs MIW Pitch Report A placid pitch, fast outfield, and shorter boundaries make M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, one of the best T20 venues in the world. We have seen several high-scoring encounters at this venue, and batters find it easy to play on this surface where there is little support for the bowlers. Toss: To Bowl The side chasing the score has won four out of the last five games. The surface tends to be slower at the start and setting up a total here isn’t easy. Sides have chased big totals at this venue. Both teams would take a cue from their previous results and opt to bowl first.
