𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Hobart Hurricanes vs Melbourne Renegades𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 14 ,Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Bellerive Oval, Hobart, Australia 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Big Bash League 2025 This BBL season at the Bellerive Oval, the chasing team has won three of the four matches played so far. Hobart Hurricanes vs Melbourne Renegades 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 MLR Match Prediction & Analysis This Tuesday, Hobart Hurricanes and Melbourne Renegades will clash in Match 34 of the BBL 2024-25 at Bellerive Oval. The Hurricanes are sitting comfortably in second place with 11 points from seven games. With five victories under their belt, the Hurricanes have secured a place in the finals. Now, their focus shifts to competing with the Sydney Sixers for the top position and earning the right to host the Qualifier final on home turf. A victory for the Hurricanes over the Renegades ensures that Bellerive Oval will see at least one final next week. On the other hand, the Renegades have slipped to the bottom after their latest defeat to the Stars. While they managed to defeat the Hurricanes in their last encounter, the Hurricanes have been on a five-game winning streak since then, making them the team to watch in this contest. TEAMS PREVIEW Hobart Hurricanes Preview The Hurricanes briefly claimed the top spot following a dominant home win over the Thunder, but the Sixers edged past them again on Saturday. Even so, the Hurricanes have now won five games in a row, and the Sixers’ triumph over the Scorchers confirmed the Hurricanes’ spot in the BBL|14 finals. Their six-wicket victory against the Thunder also improved their net run rate, which might play a key role in earning them a home final as the tournament reaches its critical phase. A key factor in their success has been Tim David’s red-hot form, with back-to-back blistering half-centuries down the order helping the Hurricanes seal wins against the Thunder and Strikers. The team’s top six batters have all shown flashes of brilliance at different times, with emerging talent Mitch Owen leading the charge. Owen has racked up 202 runs in six innings, including an unbeaten 101 against the Scorchers – the standout knock of the season so far. Ben McDermott is out injured for this game and has been replaced by Jake Doran. Melbourne Renegades Preview The Renegades’ season has been a mix of highs and lows, starting strong before hitting a rough patch. They won two of their first three games, including victories against the Hurricanes and Scorchers on challenging pitches at Geelong and Marvel Stadium. However, they then suffered three consecutive losses before bouncing back with a win. Unfortunately, that 42-run defeat against the Stars in their recent game is a real setback. It’s knocked them down the rankings, and now making the playoffs looks like a long shot. As they aim to regain momentum, the Renegades will look to Tim Seifert to deliver another strong performance. With 176 runs in eight innings, Seifert is their top run-scorer and can steady the innings or produce a match-winning effort when required. Captain Will Sutherland, who has scored 163 runs in seven innings, has also provided stability and will be expected to anchor the innings. Meanwhile, all-rounder Tom Rogers’ aggressive batting in the lower order has been a valuable asset. His unbeaten 49 off 31 balls against the Perth Scorchers recently helped the Renegades chase down 148 after their top order faltered. Weather Conditions Bellerive Oval typically provides a solid batting track, especially during the early stages of the game. The pitch tends to offer good pace and bounce, giving batters the chance to play freely. While spinners might get some assistance later in the match, particularly if the surface dries out, it’s not usually a major influence. The shorter straight boundaries are an inviting prospect for power hitters. Weather could also come into play, with overcast skies potentially helping swing bowlers. As for the forecast, the match is expected to be played under mostly cloudy and cool conditions, with no rain predicted. HBH vs MLR Pitch Report The average score batting first at Bellerive Oval in domestic T20s is 167. This season’s highest score at the ground belongs to Hobart Hurricanes who smashed 187-5 in 18.4 overs to overhaul the chase against Adelaide Strikers. Toss: To Bowl Out of the four games held at Bellerive Oval this BBL season, the team chasing the target has come out on top in three. This pattern hints that batting second could give teams an edge, and it wouldn’t be surprising if both captains choose to bowl first after winning the toss.

Australia Women vs England Women, AUS-W vs ENG-W , Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Australia Women vs England Women 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 14 ,Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 04:35 AM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : CitiPower Centre Junction Oval, St Kilda, Australia 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd ODI 2025 The second game of the multi-format Women’s Ashes series sees Australia look to make it two wins from two in Tuesday’s ODI in Melbourne. 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 Although Australia won the opening game of the multi-format series with 67 balls remaining, it was far from a smooth journey over the finish line from the hosts who kept on losing wickets to give England a bit of hope before eventually sealing the win! The hosts also had the advantage of winning the toss in the series opener and that will give England plenty of hope that just calling correctly or generating a little bit extra with bat or ball could be the difference between 4-0 or 2-2 (points). TEAMS PREVIEW Australia Preview Across their dominance of women’s cricket covering the last two decades, it has been in WODIs that they have been their strongest and Australia Women will travel to Melbourne confident of adding another two points to their tally in the multi-format series. With the ball, it was Ashleigh Gardner who stood out on Sunday, taking 3/19 but there were also fine performances from Kim Garth (2/46), Annabel Sutherland (2/42) and Alana King (2/35). Darcie Brown also chipped in with a wicket but don’t be surprised if the experienced Megan Schutt strikes with the new ball this time around after taking 0/38 from seven overs in Sydney. England Preview There was plenty of bullish talk from the England Women squad ahead of the opening game of this multi-format series and although they were beaten there were plenty of positives, particularly with the ball, to take away from Sydney. Unsurprisingly, left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone returned the best figures of the side and she is likely to be their most accurate and dangerous bowler once again in Melbourne. The question is, can the likes of Lauren Bell, Lauren Filer and Nat Sciver-Brunt back her up and tie the Australia Women batters down. With the bat, captain Heather Knight hit her 4000th WODI run in England’s total of 204 all out but she will be looking at herself in the mirror, along with the likes of Danni Wyatt-Hodge and keeper-batter Amy Jones who all reached 30 but could not kick on in Sydney. Weather Conditions According to the forecast, the players may not even see a cloud in the sky in Melbourne on Tuesday. The temperature is expected to reach 28 degrees and will be above 22 from midday onwards. AUSW vs ENGW Pitch Report The Junction Oval always offers a little more for the spinners than many other Australian venues and we expect this to be the case on Tuesday. That said, whoever bats first will be looking to post a score of 260+ to be competitive. Toss: To Bowl The conditions are unlikely to change much across Tuesday’s game in Melbourne and it will be warm and sunny throughout. The pitch will remain true from start to finish so we predict that both sides will want to bowl first.

MI Emirates vs Dubai Capitals , ILT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : MI Emirates vs Dubai Capitals 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 13 ,Monday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 20:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : International League T20, 2025 MI Emirates’ batting challenge against Dubai Capitals Sydney Thunder 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. MIE vs DC Match Prediction & Analysis It was a thrilling start to the International League T20, 2025, where the Dubai Capitals defeated the defending champions, MI Emirates, in the 1st game by 1 run in a thrilling contest. The 4th game of the tournament would see the two sides battle again, and we expect a close contest as some of the best players take on each other. The Dubai Capitals have enjoyed an excellent record against the MI Emirates. They have won five out of six games between the two teams in the last three seasons. Dubai Capitals have a strong batting lineup, and they will look to capitalize on that. The MI Emirates’ top order struggled in the last game, and it will be interesting to see if they can make a strong comeback. TEAMS PREVIEW MI Emirates Preview Nicholas Pooran will be upset with the result in the last game. The defending champions made a mess of what should have been an easy run chase, failing to chase a target of 134. The top order failed and sowed seeds of defeat. Pooran, who played well in the last game, shall look to lead from the front and take his side to victory. Kusal Perera and Muhammad Waseem failed in the last game, and the team expects a better start from the pair. The team expects a better show in the middle order from Andre Fletcher and Tom Banton, and they will look to build partnerships with Pooran. Kieron Pollard and Akeal Hossain are good hitters and will look to add quick runs in the lower middle order. The bowling attack will look to draw inspiration from their performance in the last game. It was a good spell from Akeal Hosein and Fazalhaq Farooqi with the new ball in the last game, and they will look to do the same. Alzarri Joseph and AM Ghazanfar must keep the scoring under check as the Dubai Capitals have a strong batting lineup. Zahoor Khan and Waqar Salamkheil add teeth to the bowling attack. Dubai Capitals Preview Sikandar Raza would be pleased with the efforts of his bowlers in the last game. They successfully defended a small total on a good batting surface, holding their nerves in the final overs. The MI Emirates will come hard at them in this game, and Raza expects a better performance from his batters. Shai Hope and Adam Rossington failed to reach double digits in the last game, and the team expects a strong start from the pair. Brandon McMullen played a match-winning knock in the last game and shall look to add runs with Sikandar Raza and Rovman Powell. Dasun Shanaka and Gulbadin Naib are good hitters and add firepower to the batting lineup. Olly Stone and Obed McCoy bowled brilliantly in the last game, and the team expects a similar show from them with the new ball. Farhan Khan and Sikandar Raza struggled in the middle overs, and the team needs them to bowl better lines. Gulbadin Naib and Zahir Khan add depth to the attack. Weather Conditions There would be clear skies over Abu Dhabi. The fresh wicket will have something for the bowlers at the start, and batting conditions will be slightly challenging. The average first innings score at this venue is 162 runs, and the team batting first would like 180 runs on the board. MIE vs DC Pitch Report Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi, has large boundaries, but the outfield is fast, allowing batsmen to play their strokes. Fast bowlers find it challenging to bowl on this surface, but the spinners have done well here as they can turn the ball. Toss: To Bat In the last five games, the side chasing the score has won only once at this venue. The pitch has been tough to bat on in the second innings when it slows down. Thus, the two skippers at the toss would not have doubts about batting first.

Sydney Thunder vs Perth Scorchers, BBLT20, Today Match Prediction

Vann Hiso3 months ago3 months ago07 mins

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sydney Thunder vs Perth Scorchers 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 13 ,Monday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park, Australia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Big Bash League T20 2025 Can Sydney Thunder get back to winning ways? Sydney Thunder 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. YT vs PRS Match Prediction & Analysis Sydney Thunder are back to their home venue as they search for a win after back-to-back losses. So far, they have won one of their two matches at the Sydney Showground Stadium this season. Skipper David Warner is in great touch and has scored consistently at the top. He needs support from his opening partner. Sam Konstas opened alongside him in the last outing but couldn’t make a big impact. For the Scorchers, things haven’t been consistent in either of the departments. The batting performances have swung from one extreme to another while the bowlers continue being ineffective. It is not a very high-scoring venue here in Sydney and the bowlers will play a key role in this match. Jason Behrendorff and Andrew Tye will be the ones to watch out for in the PRS squad. TEAMS PREVIEW Sydney Thunder Preview Sydney Thunder will be hoping for a comeback as they come to their home venue for the return match against Perth Scorchers. The last time they played this opposition, SYT chased down a 178-run target with 4 wickets in hand. While Warner and Matthew Gilkes delivered a good start in the top order, it was Sherfane Rutherford’s unbeaten 39 off 19 balls knock that got Thunder across the line. There have been some issues with the batting lineup since then. Warner has single-handedly carried Thunder’s batting efforts in the last couple of outings. While Sam Billings looked in good touch in the middle-order in the last game, he couldn’t convert his start into something more impactful. Oliver Davies and Matthew Gilkes are other key players in the middle-order who are expected to step up and deliver crucial knocks. Perth Scorchers Preview Perth Scorchers are at number 5 in the points table with 3 wins from 8 matches. 3 of their 5 losses have come in the last 3 games. They will be under pressure to turn things around in this game and settle scores with SYT. It won’t be an easy outing, however, for the Scorchers. They will be up against a strong pace attack on a bowling-friendly pitch. Andrew Tye should be hoping for a quick comeback after he went wicketless in the last match and conceded 60+ runs from his 4 Overs. While Scorchers can deliver a strong bowling performance and put the hosts under pressure in this match, the main concern is their batting. They need a solid start from Finn Allen and Sam Fanning. Both looked quite impressive in the last game and though Scorchers have constantly changed Allen’s opening partner, we reckon Fanning should get another chance here. Allen is a reliable and experienced batsman at the top. Cooper Connelly and skipper Ashton Turner are the big guns in the middle-order at 4 and 5 respectively and have delivered some impactful knocks this season. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy in Sydney on the match day with a high of 24 degrees Celsius. There is a rain prediction for the afternoon, a few hours before the game kicks off. It will also be raining in Sydney for two days before the game. SYT vs PRS Pitch Report It looks like a bowling-friendly pitch with plenty of help for the pacers. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 T20 matches here is 148 runs. SYT defended 156 in their last win here while Sixers chased down 164 with the game going right down to the last ball. We reckon a 170-run total will be a match-winning score at this venue. Toss: To Bowl Teams bowling first have won 6 of the last 10 matches at this venue. It is not easy to score big on this ground and if the bowling team gets a few early wickets, they can restrict the opposition to a par score.

India Women vs Ireland Women, IND-W vs IRE-W 2025, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India Women vs Ireland Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 12 ,Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 11:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Niranjan Shah Stadium, Rajkot, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd ODI 2025 Ireland Women’s hunt for the maiden win against India India Women vs Ireland 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. 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.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Australia Women vs England Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 12 ,Sunday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 05:00 AM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : North Sydney Oval, North Sydney, Australia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st ODI 2025 England’s women haven’t had much luck against Australia in ODIs recently. 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.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sydney Sixers vs Perth Scorchers𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 11 ,Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 11:15 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Sydney Cricket Ground, Moore Park, Australia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Big Bach League T20-2025 In their previous meeting this season, Sydney Sixers beat Perth Scorchers by 3 wickets. 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.

He ended up getting 4 wickets for 44 runs in 8 overs. Wanindu Hasaranga took 2 wickets for 39 runs in 8 overs.

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.
