𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Yorkshire vs Sussex 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Aug 22, 2024 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 15:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : North Marine Road Ground, Scarborough 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : County Championship Two 2024 Can Yorkshire suss out a plan to stop table toppers Sussex at home? Will Sussex’s impressive run continue? England vs Sri Lanka 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. YOR vs SUS Match Prediction & Analysis A fresh round of the Division 2 County Championship gets underway this Thursday with several teams in action and our focus is on Yorkshire’s duel with Sussex at Scarborough. Heading into the final five games of this year’s competition, Sussex is comfortably placed at the top of the tree with 150 points, 23 clear of the second-placed Middlesex, whereas Yorkshire is not very far off with 123 points. Five wins and three draws from nine matches has allowed Sussex to solidify its place at the top, whereas, Yorkshire, with just two wins and five draws so far has done incredibly well to keep pace with the leaders. Sussex will be hoping to put in another dominant display to extend its lead at the top, whereas Yorkshire will be determined to close down the gap with Sussex just five matches to go. TEAMS PREVIEW Yorkshire Preview With five matches to go before the season comes to an end, Yorkshire will be hoping to put their best foot forward, as they get set to take on the table-toppers Sussex. Shan Masood has left for international duty, and wicket-keeper batsman Jonathan Tattersall will most likely be taking the reins in the Pakistani’s absence. Sussex Preview Sussex are having an excellent run, winning five and drawing three of their nine matches so far. Their only loss of the competition came against Glamorgan back in May, a good three months ago. They’ll head into this final leg of the competition, their confidence surging. Weather Conditions One of those high-scoring venues on the county scene , the Scarborough surface offers a lot of assistance to batsmen, especially in the first couple of days. Teams generally look to draw out their first innings and pile on the runs with an aim to post an imposing total on the board – usually over 425 runs. It’s not that bowlers don’t get a look-in at all on this deck. Bowlers ready to bend their backs can extract enough from the wicket to trouble the batsmen, as the wicket starts deteriorating. Weather doesn’t look too encouraging, with light rain and windy conditions in prospect for three days. YOR vs SUS Pitch Report The North Marine Road Ground, Scarborough in North Yorkshire will be hosting this contest. The hosts have improved their record here avoiding a defeat in the last three matches. They couldn’t quite tap the home advantage here in 2022 and lost both their matches, resulting in their relegation to Division 2.

England vs Sri Lanka, ENG vs SL 2024, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : England vs Sri Lanka 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Aug 21, 2024𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 15:30 pm IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester, United Kingdom, United Kingdom𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st Test 2024 Sri Lanka begin their Test tour of England at Old Trafford with the hosts without some of their biggest names. England vs Sri Lanka TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. ENG vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis Although it is England as the hosts who will come into this Test and the series expecting to win convincingly, it is actually Sri Lanka who begins this match in fourth compared to their hosts seventh place in the World Test Championship! The tourists also come off the back of strong wins in this format earlier this year but they will be under no illusions that playing England in England is a very tough assignment. For the hosts, they have their eyes trained on the Ashes series down-under in 2025/26 and are rapidly trying to get experience into keeper-batter Jamie Smith and spinner Shoaib Bashir which could provide an opportunity for Sri Lanka. Equally, Ben Stokes’ injury will give vice-captain Ollie Pope the chance to lead the side but he has precious little experience of doing so in any format. TEAMS PREVIEW England Preview This England side does not like to look at things in a negative fashion so it will be interesting to see how they approach this opening Test of the series without their captain Ben Stokes and regular opener Zak Crawley. Indeed, it is less than 12 months since both Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson were both sharing the new ball for this side and the team which takes the field has a distinct lack of experience compared to recent years. Sri Lanka Preview This will be Sri Lanka’s first Test since they beat Bangladesh by 192 runs at the start of April to make it three victories in this format in a row. Indeed, all three of those wins have been by very comfortable margins which should mean there is a good level of confidence in the squad. That said, there have been changes in the backroom staff and former England coach Chris Silverwood is no longer with the side – instead the tourists will have former opener Sanath Jayasuriya as interim coach and he will have the local knowledge of former England Test batter Ian Bell to lean on. Weather Conditions The weather in Manchester is often joked about for being dreary, cold and wet, and according to the forecast, it could live up to its reputation at Old Trafford this week! Day one is expected to remain dry but it would be a surprise if there were no interruptions due to rain across the other four scheduled days of the Test. ENG vs SL Pitch Report Old Trafford is one of England’s historic Test venues and there is always strong backing for the home side. Even after turning the pitch by 90 degrees a few years ago, the pitch remains one of the quickest in the country. We expect spin to play a role in this match over the final two days of the game and batting should be easiest over the first two days.

The Netherlands defeated Canada in their last game and shall be confident. The United States, which has struggled with consistency, also defeated Canada in their last game. The Netherlands have won both ODIs they have played against the United States in the past. They play on their home turf, and the players know these conditions well, which will be an advantage. The United States have been on and off with their form, and it will be interesting to see if the side can surprise the hosts with a good show. Netherlands Preview Scott Edwards will be proud of his team’s efforts. They come into this contest with three consecutive wins. They did well in the last game against Canada, winning by 63 runs, with the bowling attack showing great form. Edwards would look to win this game and retain his team’s top spot on the points table.

There has been only one 300-plus score at this venue. The side batting first shall be happy to have 280 runs on the board. NED vs USA Pitch Report The wicket at Sportpark Duivesteijn, Voorburg, offers good assistance to the fast bowlers who can extract pace and bounce front the surface. Batsmen have also done well, as the surface has true bounce and pace. It isn’t the best venue for the spinners as the wicket doesn’t have much for them.

CAN vs USA Match Prediction & Analysis It is the final set of games in this leg of the ICC Cricket World Cup League Two 2023-27. Canada, which has struggled in the last few games, will look for a win against the United States in the 22nd game. Canada lost to the Netherlands in the last game by a big margin. The United States went down against the Netherlands in their last game. Canada has lost three games in a row, and the side will be down in confidence. The middle order has lost its form, a worrying sign for the team. The United States has a strong batting lineup and is looking to mount a strong challenge for the Canadians. Both teams will press hard to win, and we expect a close contest. Canada Preview Nicholas Kirton’s team has suffered three losses in a row. They went down by 63 runs against the Netherlands. It has been a massive turnaround for the team after they started the season with four back-to-back wins. It will be a massive test for the side in this game, and Kirton would like to see his experienced players turn it around. United States of America Preview Monank Patel’s team had a poor outing against the Netherlands in the last game, where they went down by 19 runs. It was a poor show from the batsmen after the bowlers had restricted the Netherlands to a small total. Patel would like to see better effort from his batsmen in this game and exploit Canada’s weaknesses. Weather Conditions We expect overcast skies at Voorburg, and the batsmen will find the conditions challenging. We have seen a string of low-scoring games by today’s standards. We have had only one game with a score of 300-plus. The side batting first will be happy to have 280 runs on the board. CAN vs USA Pitch Report Sportpark Duivesteijn, Voorburg, is a paradise for fast bowlers as the wicket has a lot for them. Batsmen must rotate the strike and play to the merit of the ball to do well at this venue. There isn’t much on this track for the spinners, and they must vary their length to do well.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Ireland Women vs Sri Lanka Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Aug 18, 2024𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 15:15 pm IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Civil Service Cricket Club, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd ODI 2024 Ireland Women keen to extend winning start to ODI series Ireland Women vs Sri Lanka 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. IREW vs SLW Match Prediction & Analysis After winning the first WT20 match with Ireland, it has been a period of big struggle for Sri Lanka in the last two games. Sri Lanka Women might have entered into the ODI series having never lost to Ireland Women in the history of the game, but a three-wicket defeat has put them on the verge of losing the series. It is a dramatic shift in fortunes for the two teams. Ireland were set a modest target of 261 on a tricky pitch, but they were able to comfortably get to a victory and claim two championship points. This victory comes just days after the seven-run success over Sri Lanka in the second WT20I match. Sri Lanka have very little time to regroup but they have to do so quickly without any choice. Stormont in Belfast will once again host this game. Ireland Preview Ireland will have sky-high confidence after managing a first win over Sri Lanka Women in the ODI format while also managing to get a first 200+ chase in this format. Even though Ireland were frequently losing wickets in the chase, all-rounder Orla Prendergast had a huge impact on the game with 122 runs from her 107 balls. There was not a moment when Ireland let the slack and they were able to keep the required run rate within manageable levels. Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka might have started the ODI series on a positive note thanks to a century from Vishmi Gunaratne in just 98 balls, but things quickly went downhill with the team steadily losing wickets. The defeat in the first of the three ODI matches was a big blow for Sri Lanka Women, who were always in danger of losing their unbeaten streak against Ireland Women during this series. However, the narrow loss has opened up the possibility of Sri Lanka suffering an embarrassing exit from the competition after having previously failed to capture the WT20 series. Weather Conditions The game is expected to be played in cloudy conditions with maximum temperatures hitting only 19°C. There is a 20% probability of rain during the game. The pitch is expected to be quite neutral just as in the first ODI. One can expect scores of about 220 quite comfortably. IREW vs SLW Pitch Report The Civil Service Cricket Club in Stormont had relatively low average numbers on the handful of ODO matches. After just setting the highest match aggregate total between Ireland and Sri Lanka, the venue might be set for a competitive game. The average score in the first and second innings is 219 and 226 respectively.

Max O’Dowd and Michael Levitt are in good form, and the side expects a good start from this pair.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Ireland Women vs Sri Lanka Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Aug 16, 2024𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 15:15 IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Civil Service Cricket Club, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd Test 2024 Can Ireland Women overcome winless ODI run against Sri Lanka Women? Ireland Women vs Sri Lanka 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. After a closely fought draw in the WT20I series, Sri Lanka Women and Ireland Women go up against each other in the first game of the ODI series. Even though Sri Lanka have an excellent record against Ireland in the WODI games, they are likely to have tough competition in the series. The T20I games were really committed between the two teams. Sri Lanka Women achieved a big victory in the first T20I game, but the second match turned out to be a big surprise in terms of performances and results. The bowler-friendly pitch in Belfast makes it difficult to expect anything other than a competitive series, which could ultimately provide a winner, unlike the WT20I games. The Civil Service Cricket Club in Belfast will be the location for the next three WODI games. Ireland Preview After a string of WT20 games, Ireland Women are in action for a crucial set of WODI games. A valiant victory in the final WT20 match resulted in Ireland omen getting a draw in the WT20 series. However, the three-game WODI series will present an excellent opportunity to push for a first success in the 50-over version of the game against Sri Lanka Women. Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka Women will be motivated immensely by their desire to maintain their unbeaten WODI record against Ireland Women. In the last WODI meeting, Sri Lanka picked up a victory by 146 runs. Weather Conditions From the recent three ODI games on this ground in May 2024, the average score in the first and second innings stands at 218 and 131 respectively. One can expect a pitch which is more friendly towards bowlers. The pacers are likely to have a better time than the spinners. The weather conditions in Belfort for this game will be partly cloudy with maximum temperatures of 19°C. IREW vs SLW Pitch Report The Civil Service Cricket Club in Stormont, Belfast, will host this game. The last WODI game on this ground was in 1997.

Monank Patel and co. have started on a winning note in this tri-series defeating Canada by 14 runs. They were coming into this series with consecutive losses from their previous one-day internationals during the 2023 World Cup Qualifier. They’ve put those losses behind them and even in the absence of key bowlers, the USA were brilliant with the ball. Hosts Netherlands will be up for a tough challenge. They have a strong middle-order and the skipper will be expecting a much stronger batting performance than the last time. It may have been due to the slow nature of the pitch that the Netherlands played slow and lost wickets on their way to a small 195-run target against Canada. Paul van Meekeran, Aryan Dutt, and Vivian Kingma will present a tough challenge to the in-form and promising USA batters. A lot depends on Smit Patel and Monank Patel in the top order for the USA. These two will be crucial wickets the Netherlands would be hunting for. Netherlands Preview The Netherlands are coming here on the back of a strong win against Canada. The pitch may have changed drastically since then. And that should be good news for the hosts as their middle-order would have a chance to make a comeback. United States of America Preview Monank Patel led from the front with a captain’s knock at number 3 as he stayed unbeaten on 121 taking the team total to 304. Patel hit 5 sixes in his innings on his way to becoming the top team batsman for the USA. Weather Conditions The weather will be mostly cloudy in Voorburg with a high of 23 degrees Celsius on the match day. No rain is predicted during the day and we shall have an uninterrupted one-day international at the Sportpark Duivesteijn. NED vs USA Pitch Report No team had crossed the 200-run mark until the USA played Canada in the last game. Monank Patel’s hundred led the USA to 304 while batting first. The pitch looks promising and should offer plenty of runs in both innings. The hosts will be eager to bat first and allow their key players to find their rhythm.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : West Indies vs South Africa𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Aug 15, 2024𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Providence Stadium, Georgetown, Guyana𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd Test 2024 The series and World Test Championship points are up for grabs as West Indies take on South Africa in Providence. West Indies 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. There will be plenty of excitement for the locals and fans of the longer form of cricket in Guyana as Test cricket returns to Providence for the first time since May 2011! And there is plenty to be play for over the five days of this fixture with the Sir Vivian Richards Trophy to be claimed. The series is currently at 0-0 and will complete after this match. Also, both sides are in need of World Test Championship points, a league in which West Indies are currently propping up the table with South Africa only two places above them in seventh. The First Test was an entertaining affair but the pitch remained solid and the batters were able to dominate the final exchanges. However, in this game, we can expect Keshav Maharaj to be extremely dangerous on a spin-friendly surface. West Indies Preview West Indies have had problems scoring consistent runs and that problem was still in evidence in the opening match of the series when they could only post 233 in response to South Africa’s 357. That said, and in spite of losing captain Kraigg Brathwaite for a three-ball duck in the second innings when looking to bat time and save the game, the unit showed admirable talent and reaching 201/5 from 56.2 overs to prevent a South African victory. South Africa Preview South Africa certainly had the better of the First Test in Port of Spain last week but in the end the pitch did not offer quite enough assistance for their bowlers to secure victory. We are not expecting any changes to the team for the tourists and captain Temba Bavuma will once again be demanding big first innings runs on this pitch in Providence. Weather Conditions According to the forecast, it will be a dry five days in Guyana with the temperature peaking at over 30 degrees throughout the Test! Humidity will be high from start to finish and only day two will see much cloud cover. WI vs RSA Pitch Report This will be the first Test Match in Providence for over 13 years so we do not have much recent data to go off regarding five-day cricket at this venue! However, we can expect spin to play a role throughout and the bounce is likely to become inconsistent from day four onwards.
