𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sydney Thunder vs Melbourne Stars𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 22, Wednesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park, Australia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Big Bash League, 2024-25 The last loss Melbourne Stars suffered was against Sydney Thunder back on December 28. Sydney Thunder vs Melbourne Stars 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. SYT vs MLS Match Prediction & Analysis Melbourne Stars have secured their first appearance in the BBL finals since the 2019-20 season by turning around a tough 0-5 start with five consecutive victories. They are now set to compete against third-placed Sydney Thunder in the knockout final at Engie Stadium on Wednesday night. Interestingly, the Stars’ last defeat came against the Thunder on December 28. Since then, under the leadership of their dynamic captain Glen Maxwell, the Stars have been unstoppable. In contrast, the Thunder have shown some irregular performance. Given their current momentum, the Stars will be favorites for this knockout clash. TEAMS PREVIEW Sydney Thunder Preview The Thunder secured their place in the BBL|14 finals with a strong win against the Scorchers at home last week. This is a significant turnaround from last season, where they finished last with only one victory. Unfortunately, the rain-affected Sydney Smash at the SCG on Friday ended their opportunity to vie for a top-two position and a double chance in the playoffs. Throughout the season, the Thunder remained near the top of the standings despite facing several injuries within the team. Up to six players from their original 18-man roster missed games. David Warner has been instrumental in providing the team with regular solid starts, scoring 346 runs in 9 innings. Melbourne Stars Preview After starting the season with five straight losses, the Melbourne Stars have bounced back by winning their last five games, earning an unexpected place in the BBL finals. To clinch their place, they needed to defeat top-ranked Hobart in the final regular-season game. Batting first at the MCG, the Stars posted a formidable 5-219, which paved the way for a 40-run victory over the Hurricanes. Glenn Maxwell has been pivotal in turning the Stars’ fortunes around and proved that once again in the previous game, scoring an explosive unbeaten 76 from just 32 balls, including six sixes. With 297 runs in eight games and a strike rate of 194.11, Maxwell has been the team’s standout performer this season. Captain Marcus Stoinis has also been in excellent form, contributing 296 runs in 10 innings with a strike rate of 130.97, playing a significant role in their resurgence. Weather Conditions The Sydney Showground pitch is expected to offer good bounce and some early seam movement, making it a challenge for batsmen in the initial overs. Fast bowlers can take advantage of the green surface to induce swing and generate pressure. Batters, once set, can capitalize as the pitch tends to flatten out. Expect scores in the moderate range, as the outfield isn’t the quickest. Spin might become a factor later in the innings as the surface wears, but fast-medium bowlers with variations could be most effective overall. The weather in Sydney will be hot and very windy in the afternoon, which could help the seam bowlers get more swing off the air. SYT vs MLS Pitch Report The average first innings score at the Sydney Showground is 150. The highest total posted here is Brisbane Heat’s 203-5 versus Sydney Thunder in the 2022-23 BBL Eliminator. Both teams will be looking to set a score of around 180 runs to feel secure. Toss: To Bat Given that this is a knockout game, we reckon both teams will look to bat first and try and put on a huge total to get ahead in the game.

India vs England, IND vs ENG 2025, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India vs England 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 22, Wednesday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:00 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Eden Gardens, Kolkata, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st T20 2025 Bazball enters white ball international cricket as England tour India starting with this T20I on Wednesday evening at Eden Gardens. 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 Any series in any format between India and England is one which gets cricket fans across the globe excited and talking! This five match T20I series, which will be followed by a three game ODI series ahead of next month’s ICC Champions Trophy, will be sure to have neutrals as well as passionate India and England supporters glued to each fixture. There is more than the usual excitement ahead of this series as there is the big global tournament coming next month. Furthermore, England are under new management in this format with their Test head honcho, Brendan McCullum, who has changed the team’s entire approach to Test cricket, bringing the same approach to white ball cricket. But will England be able to take on the might of India in their own backyard and go toe to toe with them? That is the question ahead of this opener which sees both teams field full teams. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview Many international teams would not have been able to deal with the loss of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja at the same time whilst remaining competitive in T20I cricket but India are no ordinary side! Those three generational players called time on their T20I careers after the T20 World Cup last July but India have played so many games without them over the last few years that all the players in their side now have experience as well as all the key skills to thrive at this level. With the bat, captain Suryakumar Yadav, Abhishek Sharma and Rinku Singh are likely to bring the fireworks with the likes of Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson still playing positively but looking to also bat some time. England Preview England are another T20I side who have moved on from a group of players who had served them so well over the previous decade with the likes of Jonny Bairstow, Moeen Ali and Dawid Malan no longer in the thoughts of the selectors. Jos Buttler continues to lead the side and it will be interesting to see how he works with the new coach after he seemed a little put out and not at his best under the last regime. McCullum will no doubt be keen to empower the likes of Ben Duckett, Harry Brook and Jacob Bethell, all of who he has seen flourish in Test cricket. With the ball, England could well unleash the new ball pairing of Jofra Archer and Mark Wood to send down some rockets at the Indian batters. Buttler also has some strong spin options as well with Rehan Ahmed and the experienced Adil Rashid likely to start in this game. Weather Conditions It will be a warm and sunny day in Kolkata ahead of this game with the temperature likely to fall from the high twenties to the mid-low twenties across the match. Clear skies will be in order with humidity reaching 65% by the end of the contest. IND vs ENG Pitch Report Of the bowlers, pacers tend to have to work harder than spinners to pick up wickets at Eden Gardens, although the whole venue is also seen as batter friendly. Whoever bats first will be looking to post a score around 200 on Wednesday evening. Toss: To Bat Three of the last four T20Is at Eden Gardens have been won by the team batting first and with the conditions unlikely to change much across the evening, we predict that both captains will want to bat first ahead of this game.

The Sydney Sixers lost against the Hurricanes earlier this season. Their middle order hasn’t been in the best form in the last few games, and it will be interesting to see if the team can defeat the Hurricanes. TEAMS PREVIEW Hobart Hurricanes Preview Nathan Ellis’ team has been consistent this season and finished on the top of the points table. The team didn’t end the league stage as they would have liked and went down against the Melbourne Stars in their last game by 40 runs.

Steven Smith has batted well this season, and the team expects a good show from him, with Josh Philippe at the top. Henriques will look to steer the innings in the middle order and add runs with Jack Edwards and Jordan Silk. The side enjoys depth in the batting and expects good performances from Lachlan Shaw, Hayden Kerr, and Ben Dwarshuis. Weather Conditions Hobart will have overcast skies, and batsmen will find the conditions challenging early in the game when the ball does a bit. The ball will come onto the bat nicely, allowing stroke play. The average first-innings score is 158 runs, and a score of 170 or more would be a fighting total at this venue. HBH vs SYS Pitch Report Bellerive Oval, Hobart, is a small venue, and the short square boundaries offer scoring opportunities to the batsmen. The wicket offers early assistance to the fast bowlers, who have done well here. There is little on this surface for the spinners, who have gone for runs.

WIW vs BANW Match Prediction & Analysis It is the second game of the three-match ODI series. West Indies Women would look to go for the kill as they take on Bangladesh Women. West Indies put up a dominating performance in the first game, winning it by 9 wickets, and the hosts will look to build on the momentum. Bangladeshis must fight hard in this game as they failed to challenge the hosts in the previous match. West Indies Women haven’t lost an ODI against Bangladesh Women. They play at home, and the players know the conditions well. The batting lineup is strong, and the side will look to leverage that advantage. Bangladeshis will be low on confidence after their disastrous show in the last game. It will be interesting to see if they can win this game and keep their hopes alive. TEAMS PREVIEW West Indies Preview Hayley Matthews will be confident heading into this game. The West Indies skipper led from the front with a brilliant hundred to power her team to a big win in the last game. Matthews would like to build on this momentum and bag the series in this game. Her opponents are low on confidence, and the team expects a strong show from her players. Hayley Matthews will be confident after her hundred in the last game and will look to build a partnership at the top with Qiana Joseph.

Bangladesh Preview Nigar Sultana and her team have a mountain to climb in this game. In the last game, they suffered a hammering loss, where the side was sloppy with the bat and the ball. They have struggled in this format against the top teams, and Sultana expects a strong comeback from her players in this game. Murshida Khatun batted well in the last game, and the team expects her to deliver a good start with Fargana Hoque. Sharmin Akhter is the key player for the team, and she must anchor the innings in the middle order and add runs with Nigar Sultana and Sobhana Mostary.

The side winning the toss would look to bowl first.

Australia Women vs England Women, AUS-W vs ENG-W , Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Australia Women vs England Women 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 20, Monday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:45 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Sydney Cricket Ground, Moore Park, Australia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st T20 2025 Australia Women continue to set the pace in the Women’s Ashes and come into the WT20I leg with a lead of six points to zero. Perth Scorchers vs Adelaide Strikers 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. AUSW vs ENGW Match Prediction & Analysis Although the last Women’s Ashes series saw England Women come back from a six point deficit to share the trophy, it currently looks highly unlikely that the same will play out in this edition. Firstly, the last series was in England, where the conditions were very different but also Australia Women are an even tougher side at home! That said, it is often believed that the shorter formats provide more of an opportunity for a weaker side as there is not as much time for the stronger team to show their dominance. England Women will look at this game as an opportunity to re-set and get back into the series whereas Australia Women will arrive at the SCG with plans to take an 8-0 points lead. TEAMS PREVIEW Australia Preview Australia Women are a dominant side irrespective of the format and that was what made their Women’s T20 World Cup semi-final defeat to South Africa Women all the more surprising in October last month. They were also not at their best with the bat in the opening two WODIs of this series, losing six wickets in the first and being bowled out for 180 in the second. The hosts were also in trouble at 59/4 midway through the 15th over of the third WODI before Ashleigh Gardner’s century. But the bad news for England Women is that Australia’s Women’s batting is improving while their bowling continues to be of the highest order. The hosts will arrive at the SCG with plenty of confidence throughout their side England Preview It will be tough for England Women to turn around the six points deficit in this Women’s Ashes series, particularly as the Australia Women are the home side and playing in front of their fans. After a disappointing WODI series, Heather Knight will be keen to stress the positives for her team ahead of this WT20I. The two main ones are that England Women finally saw a batter go to a half-century on Friday when opener Tammy Beaumont hit 54 and she was followed by Nat Sciver-Brunt who hit 61. Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Amy Jones will also come into this WT20I in good form. Weather Conditions According to the forecast, this will be a warm and clear evening in Sydney. The start of the game will begin under sunny skies before dusk falls and the temperature will be over 20 degrees throughout. AUSW vs ENGW Pitch Report The SCG is one of the oldest and most iconic stadiums in Australia and could well bring out the best from both sides in this game. There will be some turn for the spinners and batters never feel totally comfortable at a venue where ball often is in charge. Toss: To Bat Only three WT20Is have been played at the SCG and the last two were both won by the team batting first. With Australia Women also winning the last two WODIs when batting first, we predict that both captains will be looking to bat first in this match.

MLS vs HBH Match Prediction & Analysis It is the final league game in the Big Bash League 2024-25. The Melbourne Stars will fight for a place in the playoffs as they take on the Hobart Hurricanes in the 40th game. The Melbourne Stars have done well in the last few games and come here with a win against the Melbourne Renegades. The Hobart Hurricanes defeated the Brisbane Heat in the last game and shall feel confident. The Hobart Hurricanes are through to the next round and won’t feel as much pressure as the Melbourne Stars. They defeated the Stars earlier in the season, and the players will take inspiration from that win. The Stars have been dependent on a few players to win games. They must win this game by a big margin to reach the next round, and it will be interesting to see how they perform. TEAMS PREVIEW Melbourne Stars Preview Marcus Stoinis’ team has made one of the best comebacks in the tournament’s history. They have won four back-to-back games after starting the season with five consecutive losses. The side defeated the Melbourne Renegades in the last game by 42 runs. It is a must-win game for the team, and they are up against a strong side. Stoinis would expect a strong show from his players in this contest. Ben Duckett has batted well in the tournament and looks forward to delivering a good start in this game with Sam Harper. Stoinis must lead front the front in the middle order and add runs with Thomas Rogers and Beau Webster. Glenn Maxwell has been in superb form, and he adds X-factor to this batting lineup with Hilton Cartwright in the lower middle order. Hobart Hurricanes Preview Nathan Ellis, and his men performed phenomenally in the last game against the Brisbane Heat. The side defeated the Brisbane Heat by 5 wickets in a game that went down the wire. The players held their nerves, winning off the last ball of the game. They are through to the playoffs, and Ellis would like to win this game to build momentum for the next round. Caleb Jewell and Mitchell Owen set up an 80-run stand in the last game, and the team needs a similar start from the pair. Ben McDermott, Nikhil Chaudhary, and Matthew Wade have done well in the middle order, and the team expects a strong show from them. Tim David is a good finisher and looks to do well with Jake Doran in the lower middle order. The bowling attack struggled in the last game, and they need a good spell with the new ball from Riley Meredith and Marcus Bean. Nathan Ellis and Peter Hatzoglou look forward to doing well in the middle overs. The team also expects a good show in this contest from Owen, Nikhil Chaudhary, and David in the supporting roles. Weather Conditions There would be clear skies over Melbourne. The wicket shall be slow, and batsmen would have to play to the merit of the ball. Bowlers will get assistance from the surface, and the side batting first would be happy to put up a score of more than 180 on this track, with the average score being 161 runs. MLS vs HBH Pitch Report Melbourne Cricket Ground has a good surface for batting. However, we have seen slowness in recent games. Batsmen who spend time at the crease do well at this venue. Fast bowlers get assistance from the wicket with the new ball. Spinners enjoy bowling here as the large ground doesn’t allow batsmen to play big shots. Toss: To Bowl It has been a happy hunting ground for sides that have cased scores. We have seen low scores, and the side batting first has struggled in recent games at this venue. Hence, we expect to see the side winning the toss have no hesitation in bowling first.

Perth Scorchers vs Adelaide Strikers, BBLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Perth Scorchers vs Adelaide Strikers𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 18, Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:45 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Perth Stadium, Burswood, Australia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Big Bash League, 2024-25 Can the Strikers settle scores against inconsistent Perth? Perth Scorchers vs Adelaide Strikers 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. PRS vs ADS Match Prediction & Analysis There is a very small chance of either of these teams making it to the top 4. With 6 points each from 9 games, the maximum they can reach is 8 points. Other teams like BRH and MLR are ahead with a better chance of finishing at number 4. Nevertheless, it is a must-win game for both sides as they lock horns for the second time this season. The last time they met, Perth Scorchers restricted the Stirkers to 142 runs and chased down the target with 7 wickets in hand. Scorchers have been struggling with the bat since then. They lost two consecutive home games right after their win over Adelaide. Most of their key batters are inconsistent. TEAMS PREVIEW Perth Scorchers Preview Perth Scorchers come home for their last league stage match. After winning their first two outings at this venue, the Scorchers lost the next two games. In their last match on this ground, the hosts suffered a batting collapse and finished with 147 for 8 batting first. While they quickly improved in the very next game with a 200+ score while chasing a big total, the batting collapsed again as they were bowled out for 97 runs in their recent loss in Sydney. Batting inconsistencies are a huge concern for the Scorchers. Cooper Connolly and Ashton Turner are the key middle-order players for Perth Scorchers. A lot depends on these two. If these two are out cheaply, we don’t expect the Scorchers to post a competitive total or chase one down. Sam Fanning and Finn Allen have struggled to get them off to a good start. However, we can still expect one of these two to get going and score some quick runs in the powerplay. Adelaide Strikers Preview Adelaide Strikers will back themselves to continue their batting form as they take on Perth Scorchers in an away game. D Arcy Short came in for Chris Lynn in the last game. He managed to score just 10 off 9 balls opening alongside Matthew Short. Lynn was in fine touch and would be a better choice for the opener. However, D Arcy Short brings in an extra bowling option with his left-arm wrist spin. Alex Carey is an experienced campaigner at number 3. He may not strike the ball at a faster rate but can build steady partnerships. Ollie Pope and Alex Ross look promising at 4 and 5 and will be the key batters to watch out for. Weather Conditions It will be clear and sunny in Perth on the match day with a high of 26 degrees Celsius. It is likely to rain a day before the match but no signs of cloud on the game day and we can expect a complete and exciting thriller in the last home game of the season for Perth. PRS vs ADS Pitch Report There is great bounce and pace on offer at the Perth Stadium. Fast bowlers will be crucial in this game. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 matches here is 174 runs. It has been a high-scoring venue in T20s with 201 runs being the highest total successfully chased at the venue. We reckon 185+ runs total will be a highly competitive score in this match. Toss: To Bowl Teams bowling first have won 3 of the last 4 BBL matches played at this venue. Scorchers opted to bowl first in their last two outings and will likely continue this approach. The visitors have a deep batting lineup and that puts them in a better position to chase down a target.

MLR vs BH Match Prediction & Analysis It is the last leg of league games in the Big Bash League 2024-25. Three teams are through to the next round, and only one spot is up for grabs. The Melbourne Renegades will take on the Brisbane Heat in the 38th game as both teams look to reach the next round. The Renegades lost against the Hobart Hurricanes in the last game, and the Brisbane Heat also lost against the same team. The Melbourne Renegades have struggled with their consistency this season. The side sits at the bottom of the points table and has won only once in the last six games. They have lost the last two games against the Brisbane Heat, which will be on their minds. The Heat have their batsmen in good form, and it will be interesting if it can power the team to victory. Brisbane Heat Preview Usman Khawaja and his men must come out of the heartbreaking loss in the last game against the Hobart Hurricanes by 5 wickets. They lost the nail-biting contest off the last ball and failed to secure a berth in the playoffs. It is a must-win game for the side, and Khawaja expects a strong show from his bowlers as they failed in the last game. Usman Khawaja must lead from the front and deliver a good start in this game with Nathan McSweeney. Marnus Labuschagne batted brilliantly in the last game, and he will look to add quick runs in the middle order with Matt Renshaw and Max Bryant. Tom Alsop and Michael Neser are good hitters and shall look to deliver a perfect finish. Weather Conditions We will see clear skies over Melbourne on January 16. The wicket will be flat and allow batsmen to play their strokes freely. The side batting first would need 170 on this wicket to feel confident, with the average first-inning score being 157 runs. MLR vs BH Pitch Report Docklands Stadium, Melbourne, has a good batting surface and fast outfield. We have seen sides put up big scores at this venue. Fast bowlers get a hint of assistance from the track, but it is a challenging venue for the spinners as the shorter boundaries don’t leave a margin for error. Toss: To Bowl The side chasing the score has won eight out of the last ten games at this venue. The wicket is challenging in the first innings, and it becomes better to bat on in the second half. The side that wins the toss would like to bowl first and restrict the opposition to a small total.

Joburg Super Kings vs Pretoria Capitals, SA20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Joburg Super Kings vs Pretoria Capitals𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 16,Thursday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 21:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : DP World Wanderers Stadium, Sandton, South Africa𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : SA20 League, 2025 Joburg Super Kings host Pretoria Capitals as they look to extend their 100% record to three matches. Joburg Super Kings vs Pretoria Capitals 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. JSK vs PC Match Prediction & Analysis This clash brings up ten matches in the 2025 SA20 and even at this early stage there is already a six point gap between the 2024 champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape who are marooned at the bottom of the table and Durban’s Super Giants who are one place above them! Pretoria Capitals have the same win-loss record as the Super Giants but have one additional point which puts them just two points behind current pace-setters MI Cape Town. With such a congested table, there is still time for any of the top five to make a burst and finish in the top position, but a couple of consistent results will likely see any of the sides take over at the summit. TEAMS PREVIEW Joburg Super Kings Preview The Joburg Super Kings made it two wins out of two with a comfortable 28 runs win over Durban’s Super Giants in match eight of the 2024 SA20 on Thursday evening. After posting 169/7, there were some commentators who thought the game may still be in the balance but in the end some strong bowling by the Super Kings saw them dismiss the Super Giants and win with two overs to spare. Although they won that match, captain Faf du Plessis will be demanding more from himself and his fellow batters in this clash after he was dismissed for a three-ball one and four others of their six fell for scores between 22 and 38. Pretoria Capitals Preview Pretoria Capitals were dealt a blow on Wednesday when it was announced that their star pace bowler, Anrich Nortje, was not only ruled out of this tournament but also the upcoming Champions Trophy with a back injury. Although he has not featured in either either of their three games so far in this campaign, his pace, accuracy and hostility were expected to be on full show in this clash. In his absence, the bowling attack impressed against Sunrisers Eastern Cape with all five of the unit picking up at least one wicket and four of them taking 2+! Daryn Dupavillon was the only one to take three wickets but Eathan Bosch was the standout performer and his figures of 2/18 saw him take the Player of the Match Award. Ahead of this game, we can expect the Capitals to bat with their now customary aggression and fearlessness. Will Jacks and Rahmanullah Gurbaz will set the tone at the top of the order with the dangerous Liam Livingstone ready to come in and entertain in the middle order. Weather Conditions After a dry morning and with mid-late evening also forecast to have no rain, there is a potential area of cloud and rain which could hover over the ground during the first innings of the match. The temperature will be up at 26 degrees with high humidity throughout. JSK vs PC Pitch Report Anyone who has watched cricket or played cricket at the Wanderers Stadium will have witnessed first hand how quick and bouncy this pitch can be. It is perhaps a little slower than it was back in the 1990s but there is still the opportunity to post big scores with the ball coming onto the bat at such a good speed.

AUSW vs ENGW Match Prediction & Analysis Australia Women have sealed the series with a 2-0 lead and will now look for a whitewash as they take on the England Women in the last match of the series in Hobart. The first two games have been pretty low-scoring affairs. The hosts chased down 205 runs in the opening game while successfully defending 180 runs in the second game. There are some in-form bowlers in both sides. Sophie Ecclestone, Alice Capsey, and Lauren Bell lead the bowling attack for the visitors while Kim Garth, Alana King, and Ashleigh Gardner are the key wicket-takers for Australia Women. TEAMS PREVIEW Australia Preview Alyssa Healey needs her batters to bounce back in this match. They suffered a collapse in the last outing while batting first. If it wasn’t for their bowlers, the hosts would have ended up losing the game. The great variety in this bowling attack makes them a force to reckon with. Almost all of their bowlers have been consistent with their economics and the key wicket-takers haven’t let down either. The star players like Alyssa Healey and Ellyse Perry will be expected to continue scoring big in the top 3. These two hold the key to a big start and setting a foundation for a competitive total. England Preview England Women need a win here to shift the momentum before the start of the T20I series. It has been a very disappointing Ashes campaign for England so far. After a dismal batting performance in the opening game, England Women were on top with a brilliant outing with the ball in the second ODI. However, they were bowled out for 159 runs while chasing an 181-run target. Amy Jones was the lone fighter with an unbeaten 41 off 105 balls at number 6. England’s middle-order features skipper Heather Knight and Nat Sciver Brunt at 3 and 4 respectively. These two will be crucial for a comeback here. Both have managed to get starts in the last two innings but couldn’t build any significant partnership that could change the course of the game. Weather Conditions It will be mostly sunny in Hobart on the match day with a high of 18 degrees Celsius. There are no signs of rain and we expect a thrilling contest between two quality sides at the Bellerive Oval. AUSW vs ENGW Pitch Report It is a balanced wicket that flattens out as the game progresses making it easier for the team batting second. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 matches here is 266 runs. We reckon anything around 275-290 will be a match-winning total in this game. Toss: To Bowl Teams bowling first have won 6 of the last 10 one-day matches played at this venue. It offers a great contest between the bat and the ball and the chasing team can find help from the surface to gain the upper hand in this match.
