𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : ​​​​England vs West Indies 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : June 08,Sunday​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 15:30 PM IST​​​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ The Cooper Associates County Ground, United Kingdom, United Kingdom 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd T20 2025 England’s aim for a series win straight games England vs West Indies 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 WI Match Prediction & Analysis It is the second game in the three-match T20i series where England will aim for a series win as they take on the West Indies. England performed clinically in the opening game, defeating the visitors by 21 runs. They will look to build on the momentum. The West Indies must win this game to keep hopes alive in what is turning out to be a tough tour for them.   England has a strong batting lineup and enjoys a good record against the West Indies. The players know the conditions well at this venue and shall look to take full advantage of it. The West Indies have won only once in the last nine games, and their players struggle with form. It will be interesting to see if West Indies can turn it around in this game. TEAMS PREVIEW England Preview Harry Brook will be confident after the team’s strong show in the last game. They put a big score on the board and kept the pressure on the visitors throughout with tight bowling. The side has been enjoying a good run at home in the last 12 months, and they will aim for another series win with a good performance.   Jamie Smith and Ben Duckett are aggressive players, and the team expects them to make a strong start. Jos Buttler missed a well-deserved hundred in the last game and will look to add runs in the middle order with Harry Brook and Tom Banton. Jacob Bethell, Will Jacks, and Liam Dawson complete a strong batting lineup for the team.   The bowling attack will be confident after the good show in the last game. The side will need Liam Dawson and Brydon Carse to deliver early blows as they did in the last game. Adil Rashid has bowled well and will look to keep a check on the scoring rate with Will Jacks. Matthew Potts and Jacob Bethell add variety to the attack.  West Indies Preview Shai Hope and his team will be very worried. Despite having some of the best players in this format, the side has had extended losses. They failed to pace their run chase well in the last game and shall look to learn from their mistakes. Shai Hope must lead from the front in this game to win and take the series to the third game.   Evin Lewis and Johnson Charles delivered a decent start in the last game, and the team expects runs from them. The middle order failed in the last game, along with the trio of Shai Hope, Roston Chase, and Sherfane Rutherford. Rovman Powell and Andre Russell are powerful strikers, and the team expects quick runs.   The bowling attack looked scratchy in the last game, and the team needs tight spells from Jason Holder and Romario Shepherd. Alzarri Joseph and Gudakesh Motie are key bowlers in the team and must do well in the middle overs. Roston Chase and Russell must bowl tight spells in the supporting roles as the English batters will go after them.   Weather Conditions There will be cloud cover over Bristol. It will be challenging for the batsmen here, and fast bowlers will do well. The average first-innings score is around 163 runs, and the side that bats first would like 190 runs on the board. ENG vs WI Pitch Report The Bristol County Ground is a typical English venue with assistance on the track for the fast bowlers. It is one of the smaller venues in the country, and batters have lots of opportunities to score runs. The surface’s true nature allows the batters to commit to the front foot and play their strokes. Toss: To Bowl The batting conditions shall be challenging early in the game. The ball will move off the surface, and fast bowlers will do well. Hence, the side winning the toss here shouldn’t hesitate to bowl first.

Netherlands Women vs United States Of America Women, USA-W vs NED-W 2025, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : ​​​​Netherlands Women vs United States Of America Women ​​​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : June 07,Saturday​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:00 PM IST​​​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ VRA Cricket Amsterdam, Amstelveen, Netherlands 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : USA Women tour of Netherlands,2025 The first ever bilateral series between the Netherlands Women and USA Women gets underway on Saturday in Amstelveen. Netherlands Women vs United States Of America 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. NEDW vs USA-W Match Prediction & Analysis There is plenty of excitement around the cricketing world as Netherlands Women and USA Women meet in a bilateral series for the first time, starting on Saturday. Although both teams begin the week outside the top 14 positions in the ICC WT20I team rankings, both sides are on the up and it by no means a foregone conclusion that 15th ranked Netherlands will defeat USA in 24th. The sides were meant to meet in April of last year but the night match, part of the Women’s T20I Quadrangular Series at the Tolerance Oval, was eventually abandoned without a ball bowled. Many cricket fans across the globe are looking forward to this series though and are expecting a highly competitive five matches. All eyes will be on who succeeds at the VRA Ground and takes a 1-0 lead! TEAMS PREVIEW Netherlands Women Preview The last time the Netherlands Women took to a cricket pitch in this format, they got over the line by the slimmest of margins – beating Netherlands Women by one wicket with zero balls remaining. That was in Kirtipur in February and Babette de Leede will no doubt be delighted to be back on home soil in front of their own fans for this potentially tricky opening game of the series against USA Women. Netherlands Women will be looking for better performances with both bat and ball from the side in this game than against Thailand Women when they took a combined five wickets although Iris Zwilling was the standout performer with three of them! With the bat, opener Phebe Molkenboer top scored with 32 runs and her partnership at the top of the order, with de Leede to come in at number three, will be crucial to the home side’s chances. United States Of America Women Preview USA Women continue to improve across all formats and they will have picked out this tour as one where they can cause an upset over the next week or so. Beginning in Amstelveen, defeat would by no means spell the end of the series, but all the indications are that Adbita Chudasama’s side will be going all out for the victory on Saturday. Gargi Bhogle is a quick and free-scoring batter in the middle order with the likes of Chetna Padydyala, Isani Vaghela and Chudasama likely to look to lay a foundation at the top of the order. With the ball, expect Vaghela to lead the attack with Chetnaa Prasad and skipper Chudasama also very threatening on this pitch. Geetika Kodali will also bowl with good pace with the new ball. Weather Conditions According to the weather forecast, there could be a chance of rain throughout this game on Saturday. It will be cloudy and very humid from start to finish with the high temperature at 15 degrees. NEDW vs USA-W Pitch Report The pitch in Amstelveen is normally drier than most others in the Netherlands but with rain around the ball may hold up a little more than usual. Any score above 150 on this pitch should be defendable by either side. Toss: To Bat This pitch is likely to be good for batting throughout the day on Saturday so we predict that both captains will choose to bat first if they win the toss ahead of this match.

Japan Women vs Philippines Women, WTSIJ, Today Match Prediction

Japan Women vs Philippines Women, WTSIJ, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : ​​​​Japan Women vs Philippines Women​​​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : June 07,Saturday​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 06:00 AM IST​​​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Sano International Cricket Ground, Sano, Japan​𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Women’s T20I Series in Japan, 2025​​ Japan eye a spot in the Final Japan Women vs Philippines 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. JPN-W vs PHPS-W Match Prediction & Analysis Japan and the Philippines have won one match each. While Hong Kong has a better chance of making it to the Final, if they lost their last game, the winner of the Japan vs Philippines match would cruise into the Final. The Philippines have a great NRR too. In case Hong Kong Women’s last match is abandoned due to rain, then Philippines would need a win and a good NRR to reach the Final. They are coming into this match on the back of a strong win over Mongolia. Philippines posted 167 runs batting first. This is the highest score of the tournament so far. While Alex Smith and Katie Donovan were the top scorers, the extra runs conceded by Mongolia also made a big impact. Japan slightly improved their batting performance in their recent match. However, they still couldn’t cross the 100-run mark. The bowlers completely outplayed the opposition as they successfully defended 94 runs. TEAMS PREVIEW Japan Women Preview Japan’s strong bowling attack could put the opposition on the back foot. Ahilya Chandel, Ayaka Kato-Stafford, and Kurumi Ota are among the top wicket-taking bowlers in this squad. There are more players with great bowling potential in this squad. They bowled out the table toppers for just 70 runs in their last game. That will boost their confidence going into this match. Nevertheless, Japan must work out their batting issues. They haven’t got many reliable performers in the middle and lower middle order. A lot depends on the openers in this side. Kato-Stafford and Ota opened the innings for Japan in their recent match. Ota scored 18 off 32 balls. In their previous game against Hong Kong Women, Japan had Kato-Stafford opening alongside Haruna Iwasaki. Ahilya Chandel was also decent with the bat in that game. She would be a better choice for the middle-order, considering how even the skipper, Mai Yanagida, is struggling to score runs at number 3. Philippines Women Preview The Philippines Women posted a big total in their last match against Mongolia. It is the highest score of this tournament by any team. While Katie Donovan was pretty impressive with her 34 off 27-ball knock at number 4, there were a lot of extras conceded by the opposition, which helped the Philippines post 167 runs. Opening batter Alex Smith was the top scorer with 49 off 56 balls. Amelia Valdez and Karri Gullem Kleen need to step up and build partnerships alongside Donovan in the middle order. There is potential in this batting lineup. Unlike Japan, they aren’t completely dependent on a few top-order players. However, they would still expect opening batter Jhon Andreano to find her rhythm and deliver a strong start. Andreano, however, has been pretty decent with the ball. Though she was wicketless in the opening match, she picked up 1 for 12 in 4 Overs against Mongolia. Katie Donovan is a very economical bowler and is in great form. Karri Gullem Kleen is a consistent wicket-taker who would be expected to put Japan on the back foot early on in the game. There is a great variety in the bowling attack and plenty of promising players too. Weather Conditions It will be clear weather with a high of 26 degrees Celsius in Sano. There are no signs of cloud or rain throughout the day and we can expect an uninterrupted game between the two teams. JPN-W vs PHPS-W Pitch Report Sano International Cricket Stadium is the venue for all the matches of this pentangular series. It is a low-scoring ground with teams struggling to even cross the 100-run mark. The average 1st innings score in this tournament is 86 runs. It would have been even lower if not for the recent performance by the Philippines’ batters. Toss: To Bat Batting first and having runs on the board will be a great strategy on this ground. Teams have managed to successfully defend below 100 runs total in this tournament. Of the 5 matches that weren’t abandoned in this series so far, teams batting first have won 3.

England vs West Indies, ENG vs WI 2025, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : ​​​​England vs West Indies ​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : June 06,Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 23:00 PM IST​​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Seat Unique Riverside, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st T20 2025​ After the ODI whitewash, Harry Brook’s England will look for a repeat in the T20Is. England vs West Indies 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 WI Match Prediction & Analysis The ODI series between England and West Indies was pretty one-sided with England really pushed in only one of the three games but the tourists will hope that some experienced additions to their squad can make themselves more competitive in these three T20Is. Overall it has been a disappointing tour of Ireland and England for the ‘Men in Maroon’ who have won only one and lost four matches across the six scheduled games. After ending the ODIs in the hustle and bustle of London, most apparent to the players after they were caught up in traffic en route to the ground and the start was delayed, this T20I series begins in Chester-le-Street, the venue where West Indies beat England when they last played a match in this format in this country. England were excellent with bat and ball in the ODIs and Harry Brook will be looking for more of the same from his side in this opening game. TEAMS PREVIEW England Preview After brushing aside the West Indies in Birmingham, Cardiff and London, Harry Brook will be looking to show the cricket loving folk of Durham that he is turning around the fortunes of England’s T20 side as well in this game. The right-handed Yorkshireman has been in excellent form since taking on the captaincy and he will be hoping to continue that form in this game. Although if he doesn’t the return of IPL winning batter Phil Salt, who enjoys a brilliant head to head record against West Indies, should provide a big boost for the hosts who have a very long batting line-up. With the ball, Liam Dawson is back in the squad and we expect him to team up with Rehan Ahmed in a new-look English spin pairing.  West Indies Preview Overall it has been a very disappointing tour for West Indies who have won only one of their five completed matches since touching down on Irish and English soil over the last few weeks. The switch to T20 cricket should provide them with an opportunity to find a winning formula tough and the return of experienced players like Andre Russell and Jason Holder should give the side a much needed boost of class. Romario Shepherd is another excellent addition, he comes straight from winning the IPL with RCB, and Rovman Powell provides plenty of powerful middle and lower-order hitting. With the ball, Alzarri Joseph, spinner Gudakesh Motie and Matthew Forde will be crucial for the tourists. West Indies Predicted Playing XI: Shai Hope (c), Brandon King, Johnson Charles (wk), Rovman Powell Sherfane Rutherford, Jason Holder, Andre Russell, Romario Shepherd, Matthew Forde, Gudakesh Motie, Alzarri Joseph Weather Conditions It is very rarely warm in Durham and the temperature is likely to drop from 16 degrees at the toss to a cool 12 degrees by the end of the game. No rain, but plenty of cloud cover is forecast. ENG vs WI Pitch Report This looks like being a typical pitch at the Riverside Ground which means something off the surface and through the air for the pace bowlers. A par score will be in the region of around 180-190. Toss: To Bowl Recent T20 games, and the last T20I, were won by the team fielding first and so we predict that both captains will go out for the toss planning to bowl first ahead of this game.
