𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Pakistan vs England𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 07, Monday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 11:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Multan International Cricket Stadium, Multan City, Pakistan𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st Test 2024 England return to the country where they won all three Tests in 2022 with their sights set on another 3-0 victory! Pakistan 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. PAK vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis The start of any Test series is always an exciting one and there will be plenty of eyes on this game across the globe particularly as England won the series 3-0 the last time they were here. And when you throw in Pakistan’s poor recent home record, there is plenty for their coach, Australian Jason Gillespie, to sort out. TEAMS PREVIEW Pakistan Preview This Pakistan side has more talent than many other Test teams on the circuit at the moment but they have been unable to bring it together in a Test at home since February 2021! Babar Azam has not been at his usual high standards in this format but has the quality to turn it back on again and with Abdullah Shafique and captain Shan Masood in the top three, runs should not be a struggle. Equally, Saud Shakeel averages 56.30 from his 23 Test innings and Pakistan need to post big in their first innings. England Preview After arriving in Pakistan for this Test series in 2022 with limited expectations which they were able to easily outdo, England arrive for this series two years later with expectations a lot higher. However, the truth is that they are not at full strength with either the bat, the ball or in their leadership! Weather Conditions The forecast is for exceptionally hot conditions throughout this Test with day one, Monday, being the hottest of the lot! The temperature is expected to reach 37 degrees towards the end of the day which could mean some very tired bowlers and fielders. No rain is forecast from day one to day five in this Test. PAK vs ENG Pitch Report The last Test at this venue saw plenty of turn for the spinners throughout the game but we expect a little bit more for the pacers to work with in this match. This will not be the quickest pitch ever seen in Pakistan for a Test and we expect a par first innings total to be no more than 310. Toss: To Bat With such hot conditions forecast on day one, we expect this to be an easy decision for both captains at the toss. The pitch will surely disintegrate across the five days with the temperature so hot and we predict both skippers to choose to bat first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India vs Pakistan Women’s𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 06, Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ICC Womens T20 World Cup, 2024 In their last five T20I encounters, Pakistan Women have secured victory against India Women only once. India vs Pakistan Women’s 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 PAKW Match Prediction & Analysis It’s time for another exciting India-Pakistan clash at an ICC event. India Women will lock horns with Pakistan Women in the 7th match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. The blockbuster clash will take place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium this Sunday. India have dominated Pakistan in the T20 format and will certainly begin as favorites. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview India Women enter this match after receiving a 58-run thrashing against New Zealand Women. Chasing a 162-run target, India were bundled for a paltry 102. It was a disappointing performance overall. That loss has made things difficult for the team, as every game will be crucial for them. Pakistan Preview Fatima Sana made a valuable contribution late in the innings as Pakistan’s spinners restricted Sri Lanka on a slower pitch in Sharjah, leading to an impressive 31-run victory in their opening T20 World Cup opener. After choosing to bat first, Pakistan were bowled out for 116, but they effectively contained Sri Lanka, who struggled to build any momentum after losing Chamari Athapaththu early in their innings. Weather Conditions The Dubai pitch tends to be dry and slow, allowing bowlers to dominate. The new ball might move a little, so batters should take their time before going for big hits. After the early overs, spinners are likely to have the upper hand, making batting tough. Patience and strategic play will be essential for batters looking to accumulate runs. The weather in Dubai is expected to be clear with temperatures of over 30 degrees. IND-W vs PAKW Pitch Report Currently, the average score for the team batting first stands at 90, but that number is expected to rise by the end of this World Cup. Teams batting first will strive to reach a total of around 140-150 runs. Toss: To Bowl Four of the seven women’s T20Is played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium have been won by the chasing side. Both captains will be aware of this record and are likely to bowl first in this game.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : West Indies Women vs Scotland Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 06, Sunday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ICC Womens T20 World Cup, 2024 Which of these two teams will pick up their first win of the tournament and make their move up the table? Who will slide down? West Indies Women vs Scotland 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. WIW vs SCT-W Match Prediction & Analysis West Indies women take on Scotland women in a crucial Group B encounter as both teams look to try and get their campaign quickly back on track after a crushing defeat in their respective matches to kick off their World T20 campaign. TEAMS PREVIEW West Indies Preview A clumsy performance by the batters and a far worse bowling effort by the bowlers handed West Indies women a massive 10 wicket defeat in their tournament opener against South Africa. They can’t afford to dwell on that for long, with their next fixture against Scotland due to start in a day’s time. Scotland Preview Scotland’s first ever match at the women’s world T20 didn’t go according to plan. Having missed an opportunity to bat well and close the game against Bangladesh. Forced to field under arid conditions, Scottish fielders felt the heat grassing simple catches that eventually cost them in the end. Rachel Slater with the new ball couldn’t have an impact, but Scottish captain Kathryn Bell and spinners Olivia Bell and Katherine Fraser struck to remove the settled Bangladesh batters to push them on to back foot. Weather Conditions The pitches here in Dubai have been better for batting than Sharjah. The batters up top need to curb their instincts to attack early on and get a sighter before they get on with playing their natural game. You can always make up for a slow start by going bang bang at the end but it’s all about preserving wickets here. Both South Africa women and New Zealand women went on to win their first games, after having made sure they didn’t give away their wickets inside the powerplay overs. Bowling a stump to stump line is key to picking up wickets here, whether it’s a medium pacer or spinner operating. Weather-wise, things are looking good and the players can look forward to playing under nice and cool conditions as the evening sets in. WIW vs SCT-W Pitch Report This match will be played at the Dubai international cricket stadium. West Indies women lost their first match at this venue to South Africa the other day. Toss: To Bowl Scotland’s best chance of registering a victory would be to put West Indies into bat and restrict them from scoring an above par total. Having lost their first fixture batting first, the women in Maroon would want to bat second. The captain winning the toss is more likely to choose to field first.

Bangladesh 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. BANW vs ENGW Match Prediction & Analysis The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup started in full swing with unexpected results. Bangladesh Women celebrated a historic moment by securing their first victory in the tournament in over a decade. They defeated Scotland by 16 runs. Bangladesh Women will play their second game against the last edition’s semi-finalist, England Women, at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on October 5th at 7:30 p.m. TEAMS PREVIEW Bangladesh Preview Bangladesh Women feature in Group B of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. They started their campaign on a winning note. It was also their first win in the tournament in over a decade. While their record against England Women isn’t great, the win over Scotland Women must have boosted their confidence. England Preview England Women, the second-ranked T20I team in the ICC Women’s T20I ranking, are set to begin their World Cup campaign with their first match of the tournament against Bangladesh Women in group B. They finished semi-finalists in the last edition, losing to South African women by 6 runs. Surely, England Women are looking to go further this year and would like to use this match to stamp the authority for the title. Weather Conditions The weather on the match day at Sharjah is expected to be warm with temperatures around 34°C and moderate humidity. The conditions are clear and there’s no chance of rain. The pitch supports batting in the initials phases and slows down as the game progresses. BANW vs ENGW Pitch Report The venue of the match is Sharjah Cricket Stadium. It is one of the most iconic cricket venues in the world. It has hosted over 200 ODIs – the most in the history of cricket. It has a seating capacity of around 16,000 spectators.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India Women vs New Zealand Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 04, Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ICC Womens T20 World Cup, 2024 India Women and New Zealand Women begin their 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup adventure on Friday afternoon in Dubai. India Women vs New Zealand 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 NZW Match Prediction & Analysis By the time this game begins, we will already have enjoyed three matches in the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup but the arrival of an India side in any global tournament is one not to miss! This is particularly the case in this T20 World Cup as India Women will be one of the best if not the best supported sides in the UAE. They have a mission to achieve as well after a disappointing showing in 2022 where they did not make the final and were knocked out in the semis. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview Although it is Australia Women who come into this tournament as most pundit’s first choice, India Women are not too far behind and we expect them to field their best XI in this game as they look to get off to a winning start. New Zealand Preview With their male counterparts proving themselves adept at producing some excellent performances at major tournaments over the last decade, New Zealand Women have struggled to really make an impact against the best teams. However, with New Zealand Men now seemingly going through a period of transition, now is the time for the White Ferns to step up! Weather Conditions There will certainly be no rain interrupting this contest in Dubai with the players on both sides likely to be fielding in temperatures of over 32 degrees. Humidity levels will move around in between 50 and 60% but will not rise much higher than this even during the evening. IND-W vs NZW Pitch Report The Dubai International Cricket Stadium should have a fair bit of pace in the wicket which will encourage the stroke-makers in both line-ups to really play their shots. Whoever bats first will be looking to post a total of at least 150 to give themselves a real chance of beginning this campaign with a victory.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : South Africa Women vs West Indies Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 04, Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 15:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd T20 2024 South Africa Women have won three of their last four T20Is against West Indies Women. South Africa vs West Indies Women’s 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. RSAW vs WIW Match Prediction & Analysis It’s time for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup! In the third match of the much-awaited tournament, South Africa Women will take on West Indies Women at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium this Friday evening. Both teams are coming into the tournament with some decent form. TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview South Africa Women have built up some solid momentum before the World Cup. On their recent tour to Pakistan in September, they beat the hosts 2-1 in a T20I series. Since the conditions will be pretty similar to what they found there, South Africa’s batters should do well in this competition. West Indies Preview Just like their South African counterparts, the West Indies Women’s team also recently toured the subcontinent as part of their World Cup preparations. Their trip to Sri Lanka saw them struggle in the ODI series, suffering a 3-0 defeat, but they bounced back to win the T20I series with a score of 2-1. Weather Conditions The pitch at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is a balanced one. Since this is the first match of the tournament to be played here, we can expect a fresh and hard pitch, which will be great for batting. It should stay firm throughout and will offer good bounce and movement for the seamers. Spinners will be useful in the middle overs but might struggle as the night goes on due to the onset of dew. Thus, bowling in the second innings might be a challenge. Batters will enjoy the upper hand beyond the first few overs for most of the game on this track. The weather in Dubai during the match is expected to be clear, warm, and humid. There is no forecast of rain and we will get a full match. RSAW vs WIW Pitch Report Only five women’s T20Is have been played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The average score batting first here is 89 so far. However, that will almost certainly change by the end of this World Cup. In the recent warm-ups played at the venue, the highest total posted was Australia Women’s 162-6 against England Women. Toss: To Bowl Three of the five women’s T20Is played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium have been won by the chasing side. Both captains will be aware of this record and are likely to bowl first in this game.

Pakistan 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. PAKW vs SLW Match Prediction & Analysis With the tournament beginning earlier in the day, and this match not featuring the strongest teams in the group, the pressure will be off both sides in this game. However, if both want to in anyway push India Women and Australia Women for a top two place then winning this game is a must! This will be the fifth time the teams have met in this format over the last two years but Pakistan Women have claimed only one win across those games and it will be Sri Lanka Women who come into the fixture with the most confidence. TEAMS PREVIEW Pakistan Preview Coming into this tournament in poor form, and without a real world class player, Pakistan Women will be realistic about their ambitions in this tournament and anything above a bottom of the table finish in Group A could be construed as a success! Sri Lanka Preview With both Australia Women and India Women also in Group A, Sri Lanka Women are realistic enough to know that it would take a major upset or even a minor miracle for them to finish in the top two and advance to the semi-final. However, they certainly have as good a shot at a top three spot and victory in this match will be crucial to doing so. Weather Conditions Humidity levels will increase across this game but they should not reach any higher than 60%. No rain is forecast throughout the match but the temperature will be above 30 degrees from start to finish. PAKW vs SLW Pitch Report The Sharjah Cricket Stadium hosts its fair share of international games nowadays but this will be the first WT20I at the venue since November 2017. There will be some turn for the spinners but predominantly this pitch will be one which assists the seam and quick bowlers on both sides. Whoever bats first should consider themselves in the game with a total of 135+. Toss: To Bat The last three and six of the last seven T20I matches at this venue have been won by the team batting first so it would be a huge shock if both captains did not go out for the toss planning to bat first ahead of this match on Thursday afternoon.

CAN vs OMA Match Prediction & Analysis Host Canada will be looking to end their campaign on winning note when they face Oman in the sixth and final game of the Canada Tri-series 2024 played at Maple Leaf North-West Ground in King City on Thursday. TEAMS PREVIEW Canada Preview In the batting department, the side will be depending on the likes of captain Nicholas Kirton, Navneet Dhaliwal, Dilpreet Bajwa, Aaron Johnson and Saad Bin Zafar to deliver the bulk of the runs.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : United Arab Emirates vs United States of America𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 02, Wednesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 17:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Wanderers Cricket Ground in Windhoek 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Namibi Tri-Series 2024 Can United States of America defeat United Arab Emirates twice in a row? United Arab Emirates vs United States of America 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. UAE vs USA Match Prediction & Analysis The second half of the Namibia T20I series gets underway at Windhoek with table toppers United States taking on United Arab Emirates at the Wanderers cricket ground in Windhoek. At the halfway stage, with each of the three teams having played two games, United States is at the top of the tree with 4 points. United Arab Emirates, which lost its earlier encounter to United States, is sitting in the second spot with 2 points. Both teams are similar in more ways than one, especially with the top-heavy batting group and the presence of some handy spinners in the XI. United States, which has had a wonderful run since the world cup, will be looking to defeat United Arab Emirates one more time to seal the top spot, where the Middle East nation would be hoping for two wins from two matches to dislodge the American nation from the top. TEAMS PREVIEW United Arab Emirates Preview With 7 wins and 5 losses from 12 matches, 2024 has proven to be a fruitful year for United Arab Emirates. All it could managed from the 6 six matches was just 3 wins, but it has produced some fine performances with both bat and ball to string together a few victories. It was on a four-match winning streak before losing to USA the other day, a team which it had never lost to previously. They let the USA opening pair get away to an electric start in the powerplay, 62/0 from 6 overs. They knocked back a couple of wickets after a few overs, but got shocked a bit seeing the counterattack from Saiteja Mukkamalla. United States of America Preview United States of America performed poorly in the Netherlands T20 tri series, going down to the hosts Netherlands twice. A lone win over Canada was all they could salvage in that tour. But they’ve kicked off the Namibia leg with a bang, winning two out of two matches. Another win will solidify their spot at the top of the table. Weather Conditions The batting strip at this venue has been fantastic to bat on and the batsmen have made merry here most of the times, as evidenced in the match aggregates so far: 450 in the first match, 335 in the next one, and 349 in the latest fixture. It’s just not the batsmen teeing off, left arm bowlers in particular have reaped rewards for their bowling efforts, whether it is pace on or pace off. The weather forecast for the game is quite clear and we’re in for another exciting T20 between the top two teams in this series. UAE vs USA Pitch Report The match will be held at the Wanderers Cricket Ground in Windhoek, Namibia. Toss: To Bat Teams that batted first have yet to lose a game in the series so far. And that’s a clear indication that the captain winning the toss this match would most likely choose to have a bat first.

Nepal vs Oman, CAN Tri-Series 2024, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Nepal vs Oman𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 02, Wednesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 21:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Maple Leaf North-West Ground, King City𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Canada Tri-Series 2024 Can Oman defeat Nepal and set up a thrilling finale with the hosts Canada in the last match of the tri series? Will Nepal stun Oman with another solid batting performance? Nepal vs Oman 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. NEP vs OMA Match Prediction & Analysis The Canada T20 series is poised for an exciting finish, with Nepal up against Oman at Maple Leaf North West Ground in King City. Both teams have not had the best of form in the recent matches leading up to this series, with 4 defeats in five matches. Nepal thumped Oman by 37 runs a couple of days ago to collect their only win, whereas Oman downed table toppers Canada by a massive 8 wicket margin to bring up their lone victory in recent five matches. Nepal need to win this match to put themselves in the top spot, although Canada can still take it back by winning their last encounter against Oman coming up in a day’s time. From Oman’s standpoint, winning the next two matches will take them to six points and make them deserving winners though. TEAMS PREVIEW Nepal Preview Nepal has played 21 matches this year and managed to finish on the winning side on just 8 occasions. With 12 losses and a no result, they’re clearly not playing great cricket consistently to force results to go their way. Oman Preview Oman picked up their first win in six matches by defeating hosts Canada with an impressive bowling performance yesterday, ending their victory drought finally. It took a complete team effort to get the job done though, with each bowler to have sent down an over picking up at least a wicket to bowl out Canada for a paltry 106. Special mention to Captain Aqib Ilyas (27 wickets from 19 games this year) who bowled brilliantly to pick up two wickets, and helped himself to a 50 ( 461 runs from as many games), showing his wares as an all-rounder. Weather Conditions The surface here has allowed for a good balance between bat and ball. True to a sporting wicket, batsmen have been able to score runs and compile totals north of 175 while bowlers have also come into play and skittled out teams for less than 110 runs on board. By bringing both batsmen and bowlers into play, the wicket has offered up some exciting contests this season. The weather forecast for this game is expected to be normal, perfect for a game of T20. NEP vs OMA Pitch Report The match is all set to take place at the Maple Leaf North-West Ground, King City. International T20 cricket has returned to this venue after 16 years, which hosted T20 Canada in 2008 a tri series featuring Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. Toss: To Bowl It’s hard to tell whether toss has been a significant factor deciding the outcome of the match, with the first two matches going in favour of the team batting first and the next two to the chasing team. Our guess is that the captain winning the toss would like to bowl first and restrict the opposition to a total that his batters can chase down.
