Besides Farhan and Haris, rookie batter Hasan Nawaz continued his excellent form with the bat and notched up half-century off 26 balls with the help of two fours and three sixes. In the bowling department, the side will be depending on the likes of Abrar Ahmed, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Faheem Ashraf and Shadab Khan to provide timely breakthroughs.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : England vs West Indies 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : June 01,Sunday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 15:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd ODI 2025 England target a series win in Cardiff! 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 was an excellent start to the new era for England’s ODI side on Thursday as they posted 400/8 before dismissing West Indies for 162 inside 27 overs at Edgbaston. There are two games left in the series with the final of the three-matches taking place at The Oval next Tuesday. But the next fixture takes place in Cardiff on Sunday, a venue where England have experienced plenty of success over the years since it became an international venue. West Indies were completely outplayed with both bat and ball in Birmingham and they need to show their skills in both disciplines or else the series will be over before Tuesday’s match. TEAMS PREVIEW England Preview Posting 400/8 on Thursday, England showed all of the fearlessness of their new captain Harry Brook as they romped home at Edgbaston. It will not be the same wicket in Cardiff but there is finally confidence in the England ODI side, something which wasn’t seen in any of their previous ODI matches in 2025! The top seven all made useful contributions with Jacob Bethell the standout perfoormer with 82 runs from 53 balls. Ben Duckett, Joe Root and skipper Brook all made half-centuries as well. With the ball, it was the right-arm pacers, Saqib Mahmood and Jamie Overton, who were the most potent, taking three wickets each. Spinners Bethell and Adil Rashid come into this game after taking three wickets between them in Birmingham. West Indies Preview On a day where not much went well for West Indies, the performance of Alzarri Joseph who took 2/69 was impressive. Gudakesh Motie kept his economy rate below 5.60 and Jayden Seales took four wickets but West Indies must find a way of stopping England’s batters playing in such a free-scoring manner. Matthew Forde had a day to forget at Edgbaston, sending down eight wicketless and maidenless overs and conceding 88 runs in the process! With the bat, West Indies need to deliver in Cardiff and captain Shai Hope top scored with just 25 at Edgbaston. The experience of opener Brandon King, Hope and all-rounder Roston Chase will be critical in this match or else West Indies will fall to a series defeat at the earliest opportunity. Weather Conditions This will be quite a cool day in Wales with the temperature at just 14 degrees at the start of the game and rising only to 16 by the end. It will be humid from start to finish. ENG vs WI Pitch Report Sophia Gardens has short straight boundaries which often means that spinners can be targeted. But the surface is consistent and a par score will be in the region of 375. Toss: To Bowl With cloudy conditions forecast for the start of the game, we predict that both captains will want to bowl first ahead of this second ODI in Cardiff on Sunday.

Somerset Women vs Surrey Women, T20 Blast Women, Today Match Prediction

Vann Hiso3 weeks ago3 weeks ago08 mins

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Somerset Women vs Surrey Women 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 30,Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:00 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : The Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : T20 Blast Women 2025 Surrey and Somerset clash off in season opener Somerset Women vs Surrey 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. SOM-W vs SURW Match Prediction & Analysis Somerset Women will square off against Surrey Women in the first match of the inaugural Women’s T20 Blast 2025 on Friday, May 30th. The match is slated to be played at The Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton, with a scheduled start time of 7:00 PM IST. Somerset Women are coming off a heartbreaking loss against Durham Women in the third round of the Women’s County Cup 2025, where the match was tied and Durham ultimately won in the Super Over. Surrey Women, on the other hand, lost the final of the T20 County Cup against Lancashire Thunder Women by 32 runs earlier this week. TEAMS PREVIEW Somerset Women Preview Somerset Women have been mighty impressive with their recent form, led by Sophie Luff. Luff has had a good domestic season with the bat and boasts significant experience in her T20 career, having scored 2693 runs in 154 WT20 matches. With Heather Knight on national duty, Luff is expected to bat one position higher than usual. Key batters for Somerset Women include Rebecca Odgers, who recently scored 39 runs off just 18 balls, and Eva Corney, who has also been in fine form this season. Batting at number three is the highly experienced Fran Wilson, who has played international cricket and scored 356 runs in 20 T20 matches with an average of 21. Amanda-Jade Wellington will have a crucial role to play with both bat and ball, with her spells in the middle overs being particularly important. In the bowling department, Ellie Anderson, who has picked up 7 wickets in 10 career matches, will be the frontline seamer alongside Mollie Robbins. In the middle overs, Alex Griffiths and Chloe Skelton, who has 9 wickets, will need to perform well against the hard-hitting Surrey batting lineup. A notable absence in the bowling attack is Charlie Dean, with Danielle Gibson likely to replace her. Surrey Women Preview After dominating the Women’s T20 County Cup with three consecutive wins leading up to the final, Surrey Women had a poor outing against Lancashire Thunder, losing by 32 runs while failing to chase down a target of 173. Kalea Moore was the standout bowler with figures of 4/27, and Phoebe Franklin was the top scorer with 41 runs. Surrey Women will be led by the experienced Bryony Smith, who has scored 695 runs in 44 T20 matches in her career. She will open the innings alongside Danni Wyatt-Hodge, who has 2840 runs in 112 matches, forming a highly experienced opening pair. However, Wyatt-Hodge has been out of form recently, struggling to score runs in the T20I series against West Indies Women. Kira Chathli is another batter in sublime form and was the top run-scorer for Surrey Women in the County Cup, amassing 133 runs in 4 matches at a striking rate of 182.19. In the bowling department, Surrey will miss Alice Davidson-Richards and will have to rely on their spinners, Tilly Corteen-Coleman and Kalea Moore, in the middle overs. Alexa Stonehouse will open the bowling and can trouble batters with her inswingers. Ryana McDonald-Gay will share the new ball from the other end; she has been a bit expensive recently and will be looking for early breakthroughs. Weather Conditions The weather at Taunton on Friday, 30th May is expected to be around 20-22°C and there is slight chance of rain during the afternoon hours and it is going to be a cloudy day and the wind blowing at 13 km/hr and 89% humidity. SOM-W vs SURW Pitch Report The pitch at The Cooper Associates County Ground in Taunton is generally a batting-friendly surface, making it a high-scoring ground. The average first innings score in the last three matches played here is 138 runs. Given that both teams possess strong batting lineups, a score of 160-170 runs will likely be considered par. Fast bowlers might find some early support with swing on offer in the initial overs. Spinners, however, will need to maintain tight lines on the stumps to be effective, as there appears to be little turn available. Toss: To Bowl At The County Ground in Taunton, teams chasing have won two of the last three matches. The pitch tends to improve for batting as the game progresses, and given it’s a relatively short ground, defending totals can be challenging for teams batting first. With two batting powerhouses squaring off, both sides will likely prefer to have a target in front of them and look to chase it down. We predict that the team winning the toss will opt to bowl first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : England Women vs West Indies Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 30,Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 17:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore Cantt, Pakistan𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st ODI 2025 A longer white ball format but will England Women’s dominance remain? England Women vs West Indies 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. ENGW vs WIW Match Prediction & Analysis After England Women whitewashed West Indies Women 3-0 in the WT20I series, the teams lock horns once again but this time in the 50-over format over three matches. This opening game of the series takes place at the County Ground, Derby with a 1pm start during the half-term holidays so there should be an excellent crowd at the venue on Friday! Recent WODIs between England Women and West Indies Women have been very one-sided with England Women winning the last three clashes by over 140 runs. However, those games were back in December 2022 and both teams have new coaches and captains in place. It’s a new series, the question is, will it be the same result? TEAMS PREVIEW England Women Preview After such strong performances with both bat and ball during the WT20Is, there will be plenty of confidence in the England Women’s squad ahead of this opening game of the WODI series. But there is still a bit of the unknown now that England Women have a new coach and a new captain in this format. Nat Sciver-Brunt captained intelligently in the WT20I series and this longer format should give us all an opportunity to see her show off her tactical abilities. The experienced Tammy Beaumont is expected to continue at the top of the order and she will look to play the anchor role with Sophia Dunkley likely to take the attack to the West Indies Women’s bowlers. Without Sophie Ecclestone, there will be plenty of opportunities for Charlie Dean and Alice Davidson-Richards to show off their spinning skills while Kate Cross and Lauren Bell will provide the pace! West Indies Women Preview This will be West Indies Women”s first WODI action since April when they took part in the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifier 2025. Although they finished in a disappointing third place with Bangladesh Women and Pakistan Women above them, they won three of their last four matches which was impressive considering the games took place in Lahore where the conditions did not suit West Indies Women. Just as we saw during the WT20Is, West Indies Women are likely to rely heavily on all-rounder and captain Hayley Matthews who has scored 2922 runs and taken 119 wickets in this format. Aaliyah Alleyne and Afy Fletcher both impressed with the ball during the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifier 2025 and we anticipate that they, along with Matthews, will be the biggest threat in Derby, Weather Conditions Humid conditions are forecast throughout the day in Derby on Friday with the temperature in the mid-high teens. There could be some rain in the early afternoon before dry conditions in the second half of the afternoon and into the early evening. ENGW vs WIW Pitch Report This will be a good batting surface in Derby with consistent bounce and a quick outfield. There will be turn for the spinners and the overhead conditions could also assist the swing bowlers. A par score will be around 270. Toss: To Bowl There is likely to be a threat of rain throughout the first innings with clear skies only in the second inning. With better bowling conditions early on, we predict that both captain will want to bowl first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Pakistan vs Bangladesh 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 30,Friday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 20:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore Cantt, Pakistan 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd T20 2025 Host Pakistan eye T20I series win against Bangladesh Pakistan vs Bangladesh 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.

In the series opener played at Rawalpindi, Pakistan registered a clinical 37-run win over Bangladesh. With this result, Pakistan have taken a 1-0 lead in the three-match T20i series. On the other hand, Bangladesh were completely outclassed by Pakistan in the opening game of the series. Skipper Litton Das will be hoping that the side can learn from their mistakes and put on a decent show against Pakistan. TEAMS PREVIEW Pakistan Preview In the batting department, the side will be relying on the likes of openers Saim Ayub, Fakhar Zaman, skipper Salman Agha, rookie Hasan Nawaz and bowling all-rounder Shadab Khan to deliver the bulk of the runs. In the series opener, Salman Ali Agha was the star of the show for Pakistan and finished the inning with the top-score of 56 runs off 34 balls with the help of eight boundaries and one six. He was well supported by wicket-keeper Mohammad Haris, who scored 31 runs off just 18 balls with the help of four boundaries and one six. All-rounder Shadab Khan produced a crucial innings of 48 runs off 25 balls with the help of five boundaries and two sixes, whereas Hasan Nawaz continued his rich vein of form and produced a fluent 44 runs off 22 balls with the help of two fours and four sixes.

In the series opener, Captain Litton Das showed fight with the bat for Bangladesh and scored a valiant 48 runs off 30 balls with the help of one four and three sixes.

Hampshire vs Essex, T20BLAST, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Hampshire vs Essex 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 30,Friday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 23:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : The Rose Bowl, Southampton, United Kingdom, United Kingdom 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Vitality T20 Blast, 2025 Hampshire and Essex faced each other twice last season, and each side managed to grab a win. 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. HAM vs ESS Match Prediction & Analysis Hampshire take on Essex in Match 8 of the 2025 T20 Blast at Southampton. Both sides are coming off a tough run last season in the South Group, so they’ll be hungry to kick things off on a better note this time. The matchup looks pretty solid on paper, so there’s a good chance we’re in for a close, entertaining game. TEAMS PREVIEW Hampshire Preview Hampshire had a tough run in the 2024 T20 Blast, managing just four wins from 14 matches and finishing seventh. They’ll be eager to turn that around this season, and starting with a win would go a long way in setting the tone. To make that happen, the batters need to bring more to the table. Toby Albert will be in focus again after finishing among their top scorers last season. Another name to keep an eye on is captain Ben Brown, who’s been in decent form in the county championship. They’ve added some fresh talent to the squad, too. Dewald Brevis, the exciting young South African batter, has joined the side and could give the lineup some real punch. He stood out in the IPL recently, scoring 225 runs in six matches for CSK, with a strike rate of 180 and an average of 37.50. Also joining the squad is 19-year-old Lhuan-dre Pretorius, another promising player from South Africa. Essex Preview Essex put together a respectable season last year, coming away with seven wins and six losses from their 14 matches. With the 2024 core still intact, they look well-placed to push for a spot in the knockouts this time around. Michael Pepper will once again be at the heart of their batting. He was among the most consistent performers last season, piling up 535 runs in 13 innings. His average of 44.58 and blistering strike rate of 194 made him one of the toughest batters to contain. At the top, Essex have the seasoned Dean Elgar and Adam Rossington, both of whom delivered over 300 runs last season and gave the team strong starts more often than not. Charlie Allison and Paul Walter are likely to be steadying influences in the middle order, known for their measured, tactical approach to building an innings. In the bowling department, Paul Walter will again shoulder a lot of responsibility alongside Matt Critchley. The duo took a combined 31 wickets in the 2024 T20 Blast and will be central to Essex’s attack. Adding to that, they’ve got Mohammad Amir in the mix now. The experienced Pakistani left-armer knows how to get results in English conditions and could be a real difference-maker this season. Weather Conditions The Rose Bowl in Southampton offers a true pitch with good carry for pacers early on and consistent bounce throughout. Batters can trust the surface once set, but timing is important due to its slightly larger boundaries. Spin can play a role as the game progresses. Dew often comes into play in night matches, making chasing a preferred option under lights. Expect a balanced contest between bat and ball. The weather in Southampton is expected to be cloudy and pleasant, but there’s very little chance of rain, so we should get a full match. HAM vs ESS Pitch Report The average score batting first in the Rose Bowl in domestic T20s is 162. The highest total posted at the venue is Hampshire’s 221-3 versus Kent in the T20 Blast 2022. Aiming for something in the 180-190 range would give either side a decent shot at defending. Toss: To Bowl Chasing tends to work better in Southampton. In last year’s T20 Blast, teams batting second won four out of seven matches at this venue.

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

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : England vs West Indies𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 29,Thursday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 17:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Edgbaston, Birmingham, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st ODI, 2025 A new era begins for England in white ball cricket and the only way is up! 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 After England made easy work of their opening men’s international of the summer, a Test match victory over Zimbabwe by an innings, attentions turn to white ball cricket with the start of their three-match ODI series against West Indies at Edgbaston. Both sides have been very disappointing in this format over recent years with England winning only nine of their 26 ODIs from the start of the 2023 Cricket World Cup onwards and culminating in being dumped out of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy at the group stage after losing all three games. With the poor form above, it was no surprise to see Jos Buttler relinquish the captaincy and he will return to the ranks for this game, following his return from the Indian Premier League, with Harry Brook now in charge of the side. For West Indies, Shai Hope has been their leader for a couple of years in this format but the overall standard of the side has been disappointing. He will hope the iconic Edgbaston can provide the backdrop to a resurgence in ODI cricket for his side. TEAMS PREVIEW England Preview Harry Brook does have experience of leading England previously after stepping up and captaining during the series against Australia last autumn but this will be the first time that he takes on the role for good! With injuries to Mark Wood, Gus Atkinson and Reece Topley, the pace bowling attack is likely to consist of Brydon Carse, Saqib Mahmood and left-arm quick Luke Wood who returns to international cricket. There is another return to the top level for left-arm spinner Tom Hartley who is a more than handy all-rounder and has dismissed some of the world’s best players of spin. With the bat, England need to find consistency, and as ever, the quad of Ben Ducket, Joe Root, captain Brook and Jos Buttler will be key! England Predicted Playing XI: Ben Duckett, Tom Banton, Joe Root, Harry Brook (c), Jos Buttler, Jamie Smith (wk), Tom Hartley, Brydon Carse, Saqib Mahmood, Adil Rashid, Luke Wood West Indies Preview With the suspension and resumption of the Indian Premier League, West Indies will begin this series without the services of two key players in Sherfane Rutherford and Romario Shepherd who have both opted to remain in India for the playoffs. This presents keeper-batter-opener and captain Shai Hope with problems for both his bowling attack and his brittle batting line-up with both Rutherford and Shepherd capable finishers who often make a poor scorecard look respectable with lusty blows at the end of an innings! Without the pair, the experience of Hope, Evin Lewis, Brandon King and Roston Chase will be key if West Indies are to either chase down or post an imposing target against England. Bowling wise, the left-arm spin of Gudakesh Motie could well cause England’s batters problems with the pair of Jayden Seales and Alzarri Joseph both capable of running through a top order on their day. Weather Conditions Overcast skies are forecast throughout Thursday in Birmingham with the swing bowlers on both sides likely to enjoy the overheads! The temperature will be in the high teens but we do not expect any rain during the match. ENG vs WI Pitch Report When the ball gets off the square at Edgbaston it often never stops and batters love to play their shots at this venue. Expect a par score to be over 350 in the first innings of the game. Toss: To Bowl The conditions look set to be calm and consistent throughout the match in Birmingham but there could be some rain in late morning and ahead of the toss. Therefore, bowling first looks likely to be the smart move!

Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

Vann Hiso4 weeks ago4 weeks ago010 mins

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 30,Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Cricket Stadium, Chandigarh, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 Gujarat Titans kicked off the season in style but have stumbled towards the end, suffering heavy defeats in two games back-to-back. Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians 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. GT vs MI Match Prediction & Analysis The IPL 2025 playoffs are here, and Gujarat Titans are all set to face Mumbai Indians in Mullanpur this Friday in the Eliminator. It’s do-or-die territory—whoever loses is out of the tournament. The winner, on the other hand, moves on to Qualifier 2 to take on the loser of Qualifier 1. Both sides have had ups and downs this season, but they’ve also shown they can beat anyone when things click. Expect a fierce contest in this Eliminator that could easily go down to the wire. TEAMS PREVIEW Gujarat Titans Preview After a strong run through most of the season, where Gujarat Titans kept a tight grip on the top two spots, their momentum took a hit in the closing stretch. They suffered two lopsided losses — an 83-run hammering at the hands of Chennai Super Kings and a 33-run defeat to Lucknow Super Giants. Those setbacks dropped them to third in the standings, meaning they now have to go through the Eliminator. One more bad game, and their campaign ends there. Outside of those two off days, Gujarat have been one of the more dependable sides in IPL 2025. They’ve generally struck the right balance in most departments. Their top order — Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler — has done most of the heavy lifting, each going past the 500-run mark this season. But with Buttler unavailable for the playoffs due to international duty, Gujarat have lost a major piece of their lineup. Kusal Mendis from Sri Lanka is expected to step in. He may not be as explosive as Buttler, but he’s someone who can steady the middle overs if needed. Lower down, Sherfane Rutherford has quietly delivered value, scoring 267 runs in 10 innings at a strike rate of 157. Shahrukh Khan, too, has shown that he can dig the team out if the top order fails. The bowling attack has been mostly steady this season, though the last two games have exposed a few issues. Even so, the team will be counting on Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna, who have combined for 38 wickets, to get early inroads. Sai Kishore has chipped in with 17 wickets, even if his economy is on the higher side at 9 per over. Rashid Khan hasn’t had the kind of season GT would’ve hoped for, and that inconsistency could become a problem again. Washington Sundar might be brought in to replace Arshad Khan, who has struggled badly with the ball and been far too expensive. Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians were within touching distance of a top-two finish after stringing together seven wins in eight games. But a 7-wicket defeat to Punjab Kings in their final league match kept them to fourth. Still, that’s quite the turnaround for MI, considering they dropped three of their first four games. The five-time champions are back in the playoffs and, as always, know how to handle the pressure when it counts. As they head into the knockouts, though, they’ll have to do without Ryan Rickelton and Will Jacks. Both are heading back for international duties, and that’s a big blow to their top order. The duo played a big role in giving MI strong starts. In their place, Jonny Bairstow and Charith Asalanka have been brought in. Bairstow knows the league well and if he can click with Rohit Sharma early on, MI could be in business. Jacks missing out also means a likely shift for Tilak Varma, who’s expected to move up to number three—his natural slot. He’s spent most of the season down at five, where he hasn’t really looked settled. A move back up could help him find his rhythm. One area where Mumbai have come alive is the middle-order. Suryakumar Yadav’s been a rampaging force—640 runs from 14 matches at an average north of 70 and a strike rate around 170. His last two innings—57 off 29 and an unbeaten 73 from 43—suggest he’ll be a real threat to Gujarat in the Eliminator. Lower down, Hardik Pandya and Naman Dhir have chipped in at crucial moments. Weather Conditions Mullanpur, like many pitches across India, offers a good setup for T20s. Batters who take a few deliveries to settle in can cash in later. There’s something in it for the bowlers too—seamers might get early movement with the new ball, and spinners should find some grip through the middle overs. The weather in Chandigarh is expected to be hot and dry. But with no rain on the radar, a full match is on the cards. GT vs MI Pitch Report Teams batting first at Mullanpur in the IPL tend to average around 170. Earlier this season, Punjab Kings put up the highest total at the ground—219 for 6—against Chennai Super Kings, a game they won by 18 runs. The pitch has played well for batters, and that trend should continue. Both sides will likely be aiming for something in the 210 range to feel they’ve given themselves a solid cushion.

Punjab Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru 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. PBKS vs RCB Match Prediction & Analysis It’s playoff time in IPL 2025, and the first big clash is set—Punjab Kings (PKBS) take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Qualifier 1 this Thursday at Mullanpur. Both teams finished at the top of the table in the group stage, and the winner here will head straight to the final on June 3. The losing side won’t be out just yet—they’ll go on to play the Eliminator winner in Qualifier 2 at Ahmedabad, with a second chance to reach the final. The final stretch of IPL 2025 is shaping up to be intense. TEAMS PREVIEW Punjab Kings Preview Punjab Kings have been steady all season, grinding out nine wins from 14 matches to finish on top of the standoings. This is their best run since 2014, the last time they reached the finals. Fans will be hoping they can finally take it all the way this time. Punjab have got the pieces to make that happen, and they’ve used them well throughout the tournament. Their batting unit runs deep, and different players have stepped up when needed. Prabhsimran Singh (499 runs in 14 innings) and Priyansh Arya (424 runs in 14 innings) have been a reliable opening pair, setting the tone early. Punjab will be counting on at least one of them to get going again. Shreyas Iyer has held the middle together with poise, scoring 514 runs from 14 matches at a strike rate of 172. He’s been steady when things get tense and will be central to their plans again. Nehal Wadhera hasn’t put up huge scores, but his quickfire knocks at a strike rate around 153 have made a difference in tight spots. Marcus Stoinis and Josh Inglis have been handy contributors too. Stoinis has been used at the back end to finish things off, while Inglis has slotted in at number three or four, playing with urgency. His 73 off 42 against Mumbai was a standout and showed his ability to turn the momentum of a game quickly. Shashank Singh has also stood up late in matches, keeping calm under pressure and closing out a few tough games. One major setback is the absence of Marco Jansen, who won’t be around for the playoffs due to national commitments. That puts the spotlight on Kyle Jamieson. He’s had issues with conceding too many runs, but now he’ll have to step up and take more control. Yuzvendra Chahal could be back after missing the last two games with a minor injury. His return would bring experience and the ability to break partnerships when it matters most. If Chahal gets into rhythm alongside Arshdeep and Harpreet Brar, Punjab will have a real chance to punch through in Qualifier 1. Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview RCB have looked terrific all season and wrapped up their group stage with a statement win—chasing down 228 against Lucknow Super Giants, the third-biggest chase ever pulled off in the IPL. That win helped them secure a top-two finish, which will now give them two shots to reach the final. Their batting and bowling units have both held up well. Virat Kohli has done the heavy lifting with the bat, scoring 602 runs in 14 innings at an average of 60.20 and a strike rate of 148. He’s notched up eight fifties, including one in the last game, and continues to look dependable. Phil Salt hasn’t stacked up huge scores, but he gets off the blocks fast and usually gives the innings early momentum. Skipper Rajat Patidar, dealing with fitness issues in recent games, has still managed 271 runs in 12 innings at a strike rate of 140.41, contributing in key moments. RCB have also had fresh faces step up, with Mayank Agarawal and Jitesh Sharma turning heads recently. Mayank has chipped in with some quickfire cameos to keep things ticking in the middle-order, while Jitesh came through big time in the last match against LSG, hammering 85* off 33 balls to seal that mammoth chase. Down the order, they’ll be leaning on Romario Shepherd and Tim David for power late in the innings. David, expected to return for the playoffs after a short injury layoff, could be critical in the final stretch. RCB are also bolstered by the return of Josh Hazlewood, who’s been the most dependable name with the ball this season—snagging 18 wickets in 10 games. Add in the experience of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Krunal Pandya, and there’s depth in the attack. The concern will be around Yash Dayal and Suyash Sharma, who’ve been on the receiving end too often and may be vulnerable under pressure. Weather Conditions The surface at Mullanpur is well-suited for T20 cricket. Batters who get their eye in early should be able to put up a good score. Seamers could get some early swing with the new ball, while spinners might find the pitch helpful once the powerplay is done. Chandigarh’s forecast points to a dry, hot day with zero threat of rain. That means we’re in for a complete game. PBKS vs RCB Pitch Report The average score batting first at Mullanpur in the IPL is 170. Punjab Kings hold the top score at this venue so far—219 for 6 against Chennai Super Kings earlier in the season. The surface has generally offered a lot to batters, so another high-scoring match is likely. Both teams will be eyeing 210 as a total that gives them breathing room.

Middlesex vs Sussex, T20BLAST, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :Middlesex vs Sussex𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 29,Thursday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 22:45 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Lord’s Cricket Ground, United Kingdom, United Kingdom 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st T20 2025 Sussex have had the upper hand against Middlesex in recent T20 Blast matchups, taking four wins from their last five clashes. Middlesex vs Sussex 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. MID vs SUS Match Prediction & Analysis The T20 Blast returns with a brand-new season and promises plenty of action-packed cricket. The South Group begins with Middlesex taking on Sussex at the iconic Lord’s on opening day. Middlesex had a terrible campaign last year and will be desperate to turn things around. Sussex, on the other hand, had a strong showing in the previous edition, making it to the semifinals, and will be aiming to go one step further this time. TEAMS PREVIEW Middlesex Preview Middlesex had a miserable run last season, finishing second-last in the South Group with just three wins out of 14. They’ve got ground to cover and questions to answer as the new season begins. Middlesex have lost Martin Andersson, who topped their run charts last season, to Derbyshire. But they’ve landed a major name in Kane Williamson—one of the most respected batters of this generation. Williamson’s T20 numbers are impressive: 6675 runs in 250 innings at an average of 32 and a strike rate of 122.45, adding serious weight to their middle-order. He’ll line up alongside Leus du Plooy, Max Holden, and Jack Davies. Davies finished as Middlesex’s second-highest scorer in the previous Blast, piling up 214 runs in 11 innings at a strike rate of 128. Holden wasn’t far behind, scoring 188 in 10 games while going at 161. Stevie Eskinazi is expected to captain the side again, and there’s a lot riding on his performances at the top. Ryan Higgins could also play a big role—he chipped in with 166 runs from 12 matches last season and picked up 9 wickets. Sussex Preview Sussex put together an impressive campaign last year, taking second place in the South Group with nine wins from 14. They edged past Lancashire in the quarter-final but fell short in the semi-final against Gloucestershire, who went on to lift the trophy. This year, the squad looks nearly unchanged, so another solid campaign looks likely. Daniel Hughes will once again be the main man with the bat. He led the batting charts last year in the T20 Blast, with 596 runs in 16 innings, averaging close to 40 and striking at 168. James Coles, Harrison Ward, and Tom Alsop were all consistent contributors too, each finishing the season with over 330 runs. Together, they round out a dependable top and middle-order. With the ball, Sussex will look to Tymal Mills and James Coles for early wickets. Mills took 24 last season, while Coles picked up 20, making them the most productive bowlers in the squad. Ollie Robinson and Brad Currie are the other two expected to keep things steady through the middle and late overs. Weather Conditions Lord’s offers a true surface with consistent bounce and carry. Pacers get movement early, but spinners can control the middle overs if they vary pace smartly. Boundaries are longer square, shorter straight, so angles matter. It’s not a batting paradise, but totals of 160–180 are competitive if bowlers hit the right lengths. Expect a fair contest. The weather in London will be mostly cloudy with chances of a shower or two in the afternoon, which could affect the start of the game. MID vs SUS Pitch Report The average score batting first at Lord’s is 171. The highest total posted here in the T20 Blast is Essex’s 237-6 in the 2023 edition. Both teams will be eyeing a score of around 180 to feel confident about their chances. Toss: To Bowl Out of the 44 domestic T20 matches held at Lord’s, 25 have gone in favor of the team batting first. However, with cloud cover expected, both sides may choose to bowl first, hoping to grab a few early wickets while conditions still offer some help.
