Oman are in superb form with 4 wins in their last 5 matches and will look to continue their momentum to move up the points table.

We can expect a good contest between two good teams.  TEAMS PREVIEW Oman Preview Oman were bowled out for a score of 146 runs in 37.2 overs last match. Opener Jatinder Singh (25 runs) was their top scorer with the bat last game. All their other batters were dismissed for low scores and no other batter crossed the 20-run mark.

But they eventually lost the match failing to chase 170 runs.  Their bowlers bowled the opposition to 169 runs in their 46.3 overs in the last game. Sanmay Srinivatsa was good with the ball with figures of 10–1-56-4. Sufyan Mehmood and Shakeel Ahmed chipped with 2 wickets each in the match. Jay Odedara chipped with a vital spell of 1/26 in the match.  United States of America Preview USA posted a massive total of 293 runs in their last game in a rain curtailed 43 overs. Andries Gois (76 runs) and Monank Patel (65 runs) set the platform with their fifties while Milind Kumar’s 34-ball 54 took them to a superb total. Saiteja Mukkamela, Harmeet Singh, Sanjay Krishnamurthi and Van Schalwyk chipped in with vital cameos at the other end.  Their bowlers bundled the opposition to 179/10 runs in the 40.2 overs last game.  Milind Kumar was the top wicket taker with 4/56 last game. Saurabh Netravalkar, Van Schalwyk, N Kenjige and Harmeet Singh bowled together as a unit to take wickets and strangle the opposition in the last game.  Weather Conditions Al Amerat is expected to have hot and humid weather during the match.

SL vs AUS Match Prediction & Analysis After convincingly winning the two-match Test series, Australia will take on Sri Lanka before they head to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The ODI will be played at R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo on 12th February from 9:30 am onwards. These matches will be the last chance for both teams to refine their strategies and finalize their best playing combinations ahead of the Champions Trophy. Australia beat Sri Lanka in both Tests earlier. In the first Test, they won by 9 wickets after Steve Smith and Alex Carey scored centuries. On the other hand, they posted a massive victory by an innings and 242 runs with Khwaja hitting a double ton followed by Smith scoring his consecutive century. Matthew Kuhnemann picked up 16 wickets in two Tests. His form has raised Australia’s hopes for the upcoming Champions Trophy where most of the pitches will be Spin-friendly. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka will go ahead with the same eleven players that played against New Zealand. Pathum Nissanka will open the innings with Avishka Fernando. Nissanka has 766 runs in the last 17 ODIs played in Sri Lanka. This includes a 210-run knock along with two hundreds and five fifties. His partner averages just above thirty. Kusal Mendis will come at number three. He will be the batter to watch out for. In 2024, Mendis scored 742 runs at an average of 53. Out of this 638 runs came in Sri Lanka at an average of 58. He has a fifty-plus score in every three games he has played. Kamindu Mendis will partner up with skipper Charith Asalanka and Janith Liyanage in the middle. Mendis averages above 50 in the last 6 ODIs he has played. Asalanka has been in terrific form with the ball and the bat for the last two years. In 16 games he has scored 605 runs at an average of 51. With the ball, he has 14 wickets in the last 14 games he has bowled in Sri Lanka at an average below 20. Liya nage also averages above 45 in the middle. He can fix his place in the team for the upcoming year if he survives the Aussie attack. Australia Preview Australia will be looking forward to the series as a practice for the upcoming Champions Trophy. Matthew Short will open the innings with Jake Fraser-McGurk.  The duo has failed to impress in the last five ODIs with their cumulative batting average below 25. Travis Head might be picked above Fraser-McGruk. Head missed the series against Pakistan. But he has 248 runs in the last 4 ODIs he played at an average of 82. Surprisingly, Head is the only Aussie batter to have a century since the start of the last year. He will be the player to watch out for. Steven Smith will come at number three. Smith has been their leading run-scorer since last year. He has 306 runs in 10 ODIs at an average of 43. Josh Inglis will come in the middle with Aaron Hardie, Alex Carey, and Marnus Labuschagne. Inglis has 219 runs at an average of 36 since the last year. He had helped Australia win the World Cup game against Sri Lanka. Both Hardie and Labuschagne have less than 150 runs each in the last 7 innings. Australia might include Glen Maxwell who is currently out of form. Alex Carey has 164 runs in the four ODIs he played since the start of the last year with an average of 82. Weather Conditions The weather at R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo is expected to be cloudy on match day, with temperatures ranging between 23 and 32 degrees Celsius. Winds will blow from the southeast at 6-11 km/h. It gives a good balance for both bowlers and batsmen. Bowlers can benefit from the pitch in the early stages, which offers a nice bounce. As the game goes on and the pitch gets older, batsmen can play their shots comfortably. SL vs AUS Pitch Report The game will be played at R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo on 12th February from 9:30 am onwards. The stadium has a capacity of 35000 spectators. The stadium has hosted 8 Tests, 167 ODIs and 58 T20s.  Toss: To Bat In 167 ODIs played here, the results have favored teams defending the target on 90 occasions while 65 have been won by the teams chasing it. The average first-innings score is 231 with the highest total of 375. The team winning the toss should bat first.

India 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. IND vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis India made it another four wicket win to lead this ODI series 2-0 with just this remaining game in Ahmedabad to go. For the hosts, the series has already been an excellent exercise as they ramp up their preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy later this month, whereas for England, this tour has been something of a disaster, losing six of the seven matches across T20Is and ODIs. Ahmedabad is a city where India have an excellent record across all formats and England have also struggled at the venue so it could well be another triumph for the hosts on Wednesday! Both teams do have form players with India’s captain Rohit Sharma along with Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja impressing. For England, only really Ben Duckett and Joe Root can be said to be playing anywhere near their top level. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview After winning the series opener by four wickets and with 68 balls remaining in Nagpur, India opted to make two changes for the second ODI with Virat Kohli returning alongside spinner Varun Chakravarthy who made his ODI debut. Jashasvi Jaiswal, who himself had debuted in the opener, missed out along with left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav. Those changes show just how much depth India have in this format and it was no surprise to see them beat England again, with the result not looking in doubt throughout the entirety of the chase! Expect the likes of Kohli, Harduk Padya and KL Rahul to be pushed up the order a little in this game to give them as much opportunity as possible to maximise time in the middle ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy. Harshit Rana and Mohammed Shami are both likely to play again as they look to build up their fitness ahead of the tournament. England Preview England’s torrid tour of India will conclude after this game and coach Brendan McCullum will be hoping that he can inspire his charges to the second win of the trip! He should have a strengthened side for this game with pace bowler Jofra Archer coming back after being rested in Cuttack and keeper-batter Jamie Smith now fully fit after a calf issue had sidelined him over the previous ten days. There are some positives for England with all of the top six making scores between 26 and 69 on Sunday, including Ben Duckett and Joe Root making half-centuries. They really need someone to kick on in this ODI though and help their bowlers who have struggled to keep the lid on India’s run-scoring when chasing. Adil Rashid has been consistent, as has Jamie Overton but England will be hoping that the duo of Mark Wood and Jofra Archer can really cause problems with pace in Ahmedabad. Weather Conditions According to the forecast, this game will start with the temperature at 28 degrees, and in spite of being a day-nighter, also finish with the same temperature. In the meantime it will get as high as 32 degrees on a day which will be cloudless. IND vs ENG Pitch Report The Narendra Modi Stadium has been a spinners paradise in some Test matches previously but in ODIs and T20s it tends to be an excellent surface for batting on. As a result, we expect to see a strong batting surface with a par score of 350+. Toss: To Bowl England have lost both games in the series after winning the toss and choosing to bat first. Therefore, we predict that whoever wins the toss ahead of this ODI will elect to bowl first.

PAK vs RSA Match Prediction & Analysis We are in the third game of the Pakistan ODI Tri-Series 2025. Hosts Pakistan will lock horns with South Africa in a virtual knockout clash. Both teams lost their respective games against New Zealand, and the winner of this game will take on the Kiwis in the final. It will be an important game for both teams on the eve of the Champion’s Trophy later this month.  The Pakistanis will take inspiration from their recent record against South Africa. They have won four times between the two teams in the last five games. South Africans have a history of struggling on these slow and turning tracks and shall look to overcome this shortcoming. A lot is riding on this game for both teams, and we expect a close contest. TEAMS PREVIEW Pakistan Preview Mohammad Rizwan and his men must solve many problems days before the Champion’s Trophy. It was a poor show from the team in their opening game against New Zealand, where they lost by 78 runs. The bowlers bowled poorly in the death overs, and the batting lineup failed to impress on a good wicket. They must win this game to reach the final, and Rizwan would like a strong comeback from his players.  Fakhar Zaman announced his return to the national team with a good knock, but he will need support from the out-of-form Babar Azam at the other end. The middle order failed to impress against New Zealand. They need runs from Kamran Ghulam, Rizwan, and Salman Agha. The lower middle order has good hitters, and the team expects Tayyab Tahir, Khushdil Shah, and Shaheen Afridi to do well.  South Africa Preview Temba Bavuma will be upset with the six-wicket loss against New Zealand in the last game. They put up a dominating show with the bat in the first half of their innings but finished at least 30 runs short of the intended target. The bowling attack struggled to use the conditions. As they take on the hosts in a knockout contest, Bavuma expects a better show from his players.  Matthew Breetzke smashed a brilliant hundred in the last game and will look to repeat a similar show at the top with Temba Bavuma. Kyle Verreynne will look to do well in the middle order and add runs with Wiaan Mulder and Heinrich Klaasen. The side will expect runs in the lower middle order from Senuran Muthusamy and Eathan Bosch.  Weather Conditions We expect clear skies over Karachi and a great batting performance. Batsmen can play their strokes freely on this track as the ball hits the bat hard. There will be little for the bowlers in this game. The average first innings score is 290 runs in the last five years. The side batting first must have over 320 on the board. PAK vs RSA Pitch Report National Stadium Karachi is known for being a batsman’s paradise. The outfield is quick, which allows for easy run-scoring for the batsmen. Bowlers, especially the fast bowlers, have always found it challenging to bowl here. It is a good venue for the spinners, as the ball occasionally takes sharp turns. Toss: To Bowl Defending scores is a massive challenge in Karachi once the dew sets in the evening. As past games have shown, gripping the ball is difficult in the second half. The side that wins the toss in this game will look to play it safe by bowling first.

New Zealand 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. NZ vs RSA Match Prediction & Analysis This looks set to be an exciting second game in the Pakistan Tri-Nation Series with South Africa playing their opening game of the competition and taking on the winners of match one – New Zealand. The opening game of the series showed that there are plenty of runs to be had on this pitch in Lahore and it was Kane Williamson (58), Daryl Mitchell (81), Glenn Phillips (106*) and Fakhar Zaman (84) who were the leading players with the bat. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview Although this tri-nation series has been scheduled to help all three teams arrive at the ICC Champions Trophy at their peak later in the month, we do not expect New Zealand to make any changes to the side who beat Pakistan by 78 runs on Saturday. It was Glenn Phillips who stood out, hitting an unbeaten century and showing just how powerful a player he is, and we predict that he will play in a similarly aggressive manner in this clash. South Africa Preview With the SA20 only just coming to a conclusion, and due to injuries to Anrich Nortje and Gerald Coetzee, South Africa will not be able to put out their strongest XI for this game. They look the most weak in their pace bowling attack but there will also be an opportunity there for the likes of Junior Dala or Gideon Peters to make a claim for a place in their XI when the likes of Kagiso Rabada are back in the mix. With the bat, Matthew Breetzke is a fine white ball top order player and he is likely to adopt an aggressive approach from the first ball onwards. Expect keeper-batter Heinrich Klaasen to be used in a floating position with the team management likely to want to see him arriving at the crease from around the 30th over onwards. Weather Conditions With this match being played from 09:30 through to 17:30, the temperatures will be slightly different from Saturday’s game. That means that it could be as low as 15 degrees at the toss but will be at least ten degrees hotter about two hours later! NZ vs RSA Pitch Report The Gaddafi Stadium is a good wicket for batting on. Batters like the pace of the ball and can trust the bounce of the pitch so we expect a par score to be in the region of 320-340. Toss: To Bowl New Zealand showed the value in posting a score then successfully defending it on Saturday and so, here at the same venue, we predict that both captains will go out for the toss looking to bat first.

Oman are in decent form with consecutive wins and will look to continue their momentum to move up the points table. Namibia have lost 7 of their 8 matches and will look to to register a win in this match. We can expect a good contest between two good teams.  TEAMS PREVIEW Oman Preview Oman were bowled out for a score of 155 runs in 44.2 overs last match. Openers Ashish Odedaira (41 runs) and Jatinder Singh (59 runs) were their top scorers with the bat last game. All their other batters were dismissed for single digit scores. They slumped from 94/0 to 125/9 before their last wicket pair added vital 30 runs.  Their bowlers bowled the opposition to 154 runs in their 45.3 overs in the last game as they won the match by 1 run. Aamer Kaleem was superb with the ball with figures of 10-3-24-4. Siddharth Bukkapatnam and Shakeel Ahmed chipped with 2 wickets each in the match. Karan Sornawale broke the vital last wicket partnership to give them the victory.  Namibia Preview Namibia failed to chase a competitive total of 294 runs in their last game as they finished with 179/10. Malan Kruger top scored with 32 runs while Shaun Fouche, Trumpelmann and Gerhard Erasmus chipped in with little cameos at the other end. Their batting fell like nine pins from right from the start in the last game.  Their bowlers gave the opposition 293/8 runs in the 43 overs last game. Smit (4/46) and Scholtz (3/35) bowled together as a unit to take wickets and strangle the opposition in the last game. The other bowlers gave too many runs and were unable to control the opposition.  Weather Conditions Al Amerat is expected to have hot and humid weather during the match.

DC vs DV Match Prediction & Analysis It is the title decider in the International League T20, 2025. The Dubai Capitals, who finished runner-up last year, will aim for their maiden title as they take on the Desert Vipers in this game. The Capitals will draw inspiration from their win against the Vipers in the 1st Qualifier and look to repeat the same show. The Vipers defeated the Sharjah Warriors comprehensively in the 2nd Qualifier and look to build on the momentum.  TEAMS PREVIEW Dubai Capitals Preview Sam Billings and his players will be confident going into the final. They defeated the Desert Vipers by 5 wickets in the 1st Qualifier and shall feel confident taking on the same team in the final. They have peaked at the right time and have their batting lineup in good form. Billings would expect a stronger show from his bowling attack, as it hasn’t been consistent this season for the bowlers.   Shai Hope has made 484 runs this season, and the team will expect a good start from him and Adam Rossington. Gulbadin Naib has done well in the last few games and will look to build partnerships in the middle order with Sam Billings and Rovman Powell. Dasun Shanaka, Sikandar Raza, and Dushmantha Chameera have good hitting abilities, which makes it a strong batting lineup.  Desert Vipers Preview Sam Curran has taken over the captaincy from Lockie Ferguson, who has ended his stint in the tournament. The side put up a good show in the 2nd Qualifier against the Sharjah Warriorz, winning by 7 wickets. Curran must inspire confidence in his camp, as they haven’t defeated the Dubai Capitals in the last two seasons. The bowling attack must deliver the goods for the team to win.  Alex Hales has made 400 runs in the tournament and looks forward to delivering a good start in this game with Rahmanullah Gurbaz. The middle order is in good form, and the side expects runs from Daniel Lawrence, Max Holden, and Sam Curran. Azam Khan, Ali Naseer, and Sherfane Rutherford must create fireworks in the final overs and take the side to a big total.  Weather Conditions We will have clear skies over Dubai. Like always, the wicket will be flat, allowing batsmen to play their strokes freely. There won’t be much for the fast bowlers on this wicket, and they must use their variations to do well. The average first-innings score in the last three games is over 180 runs, and the team batting first needs 200 on the board to feel confident. DC vs DV Pitch Report Dubai International Cricket Stadium is a high-scoring venue where the pitch is a paradise to bat on, and the outfield is very quick. Fast bowlers have always struggled here as there isn’t much for them on the surface. Spinners have enjoyed a good record as the ball turns sharply and tends to stop on the batsmen. Toss: To Bowl In the last eight games, the side batting first has defended the score only once. The wicket is easy for run chases as the conditions improve in the second innings. Both captains will take a cue from the past results and opt to bowl first upon winning the toss.

India 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. IND vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis This is turning into a very disappointing tour of India for England and was certainly not what Test head coach Brendan McCullum had in mind when he added the white ball side to his brief at the start of this year! Since arriving in India, England have won one and lost five games across five T20Is and one ODI and apart from getting on top towards the end of the powerplay in the first innings, seemed to be forever playing catch-up in the first game of this series on Thursday. India on the other hand were able to canter home with 68 balls remaining in spite of being without star batter Virat Kohli who was not risked due to a slight injury to his right knee. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview It was a fine team performance from India in Nagpur to get this three match series underway with only Hardik Pandya going wicketless from the six-man bowling unit. He made up for that by being in the middle for the winning runs and although there will be disappointment from captain Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul who were both dismissed for only two runs, India look like a team who will take some stopping in this year’s ICC Champions Trophy. Shubman Gill top scored with 87 runs from 96 balls and was well supported by Shreyas Iyer (59 runs from 36 balls) and Axar Patel (52 runs from 47 balls) in a slightly re-shuffled batting order which saw Ravindra Jadeja come in at number eight, such is the batting depth in the side. England Preview Ahead of the start of the series, it was announced that Jofra Archer would play in only two of the three games but that could now change as England will certainly want him available for this match and if the series is still alive after the fixture then they may well risk him for the decider! The right-arm pacer dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal and returned good figures of 1/39 from seven overs but it was his fellow opening bowler Saqib Mahmood and Adil Rashid who were the leading wicket takers with two dismissals each. Brydon Carse may find his place under threat if he doesn’t perform in this game though as he was far and away the most expensive with his five overs costing 52 runs. Weather Conditions According to the forecast, the temperature will be at 27 degrees at the start of this ODI before jumping up to 30 degrees in the mid-afternoon. When the floodlights kick in, the temperature will still be in the mid twenties! IND vs ENG Pitch Report This has always been a good batting wicket in Cuttack and we predict that both teams should be able to post strong totals. A par score batting first in this game will be in the region of 320. Toss: To Bowl Four of the last six ODIs in Cuttack have been won by the team chasing and England have also had most of their recent success in this format when bowling first. Therefore, we predict that both sides will choose to chase if they win the toss.

United States of America vs Namibia 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. USA vs NAM Match Prediction & Analysis With the top tier of men’s international cricket about to do battle in the ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan and the UAE over the coming weeks, the second tier get back to business in the Cricket World Cup League 2. USA currently lead the table but they are by no means dominating the league as the top five teams are separated by only two points with Oman in fifth and Canada level on points with USA at the top. Namibia loiter only four points behind so a victory for them in this game would see them go only four points behind their opponent. However, victory for the USA will see them pull clear of the chasing pack. TEAMS PREVIEW United States of America Preview Although USA have not been as dominant as they would have liked across this Cricket World Cup League 2 campaign so far, they are still sitting at the top of the table and will arrive for this game in the knowledge that if their best players perform on the day then they will be very hard to stop in their tracks! With the bat, we can expect captain Monank Patel along with Aaron Jones to carry the biggest threat to Namibia’s bowlers although Harmeet Singh showed plenty of ability and class of his own with 59 runs from 44 balls at nunmber six in the batting order in their last game against Nepal. Namibia Preview Namibia have been a consistent international side for much of the last decade but they have struggled to take the final step with only a handful of giant-killing acts in recent years. Despite that, they have plenty of experience and should come into this game with enough self-belief to cause the USA a good deal of problems. The top three batting line up of Michael van Lingen, JP Kotze and captain Gerhard Erasmus put on 147 for the first two wickets in their last game and Namibia will need more of the same if they are to build a solid foundation with the bat in this game. Lower down the order, expect Bernard Scholtz and Ben Shikongo to play with freedom if required to come to the middle. Weather Conditions This game is going to be played under hot, sunny and cloudless skies on Friday in Al Amerat! The temperature will be up at 26 degrees for the first ball and is likely to be only two or three degrees less by the close. USA vs NAM Pitch Report The pitch will not be full of demons but will also not be a batters paradise! Expect the ball to turn for the spinners and for the pace bowlers with well disguised cutters to also succeed. If one side makes 250 when batting first then they will be well in the game. Toss: To Bowl On a pitch which is likely to get slower as the game progresses, we expect both teams to want to get first use of the strip with the bat in hand. Therefore we predict that both captains will choose to bat first should they win the toss.
