𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : New Zealand Women vs Australia Women 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 23 ,Monday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 03:30 AM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Basin Reserve, Wellington, New Zealand𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd ODI 2024 Australia Women’s quest for another series win against New Zealand Hobart Hurricanes vs Perth Scorchers 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. NZW vs AUSW Match Prediction & Analysis We are in the third and final game of the three-match ODI series. Hosts New Zealand Women will look to level the series after going down by 65 runs. The Australians have an unassailable lead with this win. The first game saw no result as rain played spoilsport. The Aussies will be confident after their big win in the last game and look to have another series win against New Zealand. Australia Women has dominated this format in the last four years. They have lost only twice in the last 20 games the team has played, making them confident. They haven’t lost against New Zealand Women in the last 14 games. It will be a massive challenge for the Kiwis, and it will be interesting to see if they can stand up and take on the Aussies. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview Sophie Devine and her team will head into this game with their backs against the wall. They struggled with the ball on a good wicket in the last game, and their batting also struggled. They haven’t won against the Australians in this format since 2017. Devine would like a strong show from her players as they take on the challenge to get the monkey off their backs. Isabella Rose James is an exciting young prospect for the team, and she will look to deliver a strong start with Suzie Bates. Amelia Kerr has been the best batter for the team in the last 12 months, and she must add runs in the middle order with Sophie Devine and Brooke Halliday. The team expects a good show in the lower middle order from Maddy Green and Lauren Down. Australia Preview Alyssa Healy and her players were clinical in the last game. The side has dominated the Kiwis over the last seven years and extended their good record with the big win in the last game. The batting looks good, and the bowlers used the conditions well in the last game. Healy would like another strong show from her players and grab the series 2-0. Alyssa Healy and Phoebe Litchfield delivered a good start in the last game, and the side needs a similar effort from the pair. Annabel Sutherland hit a brilliant hundred in the last game and will look to add runs with Ellyse Perry and Beth Mooney. Ashleigh Gardner and Tahlia McGrath add to the team’s batting firepower in the lower middle order. Weather Conditions The skies over Wellington will be partly cloudy. It is an excellent wicket, with the ball coming onto the bat nicely, allowing batters to play their strokes freely. Bowlers have found the surface challenging. The average first-innings score is 245 runs. The side batting first would need 280 runs on the board to feel safe on this wicket. NZW vs AUSW Pitch Report The wicket at Basin Reserve, Wellington, is a batters’ paradise, allowing them to play their strokes freely. There is assistance for the fast bowlers with the new ball as they can generate bounce from the surface. Spinners have also enjoyed success here as the large boundaries help them. Toss: To Bowl The last few games at this venue have been high-scoring contests. Bowlers have found assistance from the surface in the early overs, but it has been a batter’s wicket. The side winning the toss would look to take advantage of the conditions by bowling first in the game.

New Zealand Women vs Australia Women, NZ-W vs AUS-W 2024, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : New Zealand Women vs Australia Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 21,Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 17:30 AM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Basin Reserve, Wellington, New Zealand𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd ODI 2024 After a WODI Wellington washout on Wednesday, New Zealand Women and Australia Women go again on Saturday morning! New Zealand Women vs Australia 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. NZW vs AUSW Match Prediction & Analysis It was a big disappointment for the locals, the administrators, coaches and players in Wellington with the weather not playing ball and not even a toss or a ball being bowled in the opening WODI. However, every cloud provides an opportunity, and that should certainly be the thinking and approach of Sophie Devine’s side who now need to win only one of the next two games to secure a drawn series against Australia Women. For the hosts, that would complete an excellent couple of months after their triumph in the Women’s T20 World Cup in October and would certainly announce their return to women’s cricket’s top table. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview There is certainly plenty more confidence running through this New Zealand Women’s side at the moment and they will be determined to show they can compete with the all-conquering Australia Women in this WODI. We can expect the White Ferns to approach this game in a more traditional way to 50-over cricket. That is to say that they will look to bat conservatively at the top of the order, see off the new balls, before unleashing their power-hitters further down the order when hopefully the Australia Women’s bowlers will be much more tired. Australia Preview Even without their opening batter, keeper and skipper, Ellyse Perry, Australia Women were able to crush India Women 3-0 at home earlier this month and a bit of Wellington weather on Wednesday will have done little to dampen the self-belief in the camp ahead of this game. Australia Women are one of the most dominant international teams of any sport across the last decade and they showed in their victories against India Women that they have plenty to prove after their shock semi-final exit at the Women’s T20 World Cup in October. As ever, they have huge batting depth with former Ireland Women’s international Kim Garth a trusty batter even at number ten! With the ball, we expect Alana King, Garth, Schutt and Annabel Sutherland to be the most dangerous in this WODI. Weather Conditions It looks like being a dry affair across the first half of the game but there is a slight threat of more rain in the mid-late afternoon. Irrespective of how much, we should still be able to complete the fixture. NZW vs AUSW Pitch Report With all of the rain that has been around in Wellington over recent days, this pitch may well offer more assistance for the pace bowlers than usual. As a result, we expect a par score to be no higher than 220. Toss: To Bowl With four of the last six WODIs at the Basin Reserve won by the team chasing in the second innings, we predict that both New Zealand Women and Australia Women will want to bowl first in this game.

Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan, AFG vs ZIM 2024, Today Match Prediction

Vann Hiso2 days ago2 days ago05 mins

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 21 ,Saturday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Harare Sports Club, Harare, Zimbabwe𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd ODI 2024 After a crushing defeat in the second ODI, Zimbabwe will have to raise their game across the park if they are to not lose this series 2-0! Brisbane Heat 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. ZIM vs AFG Match Prediction & Analysis Sometimes in sport, one finds a mis-match and that was certainly the case on Thursday as Afghanistan dominated Zimbabwe from ball one en route to a triumph by 232 runs. The winning margin has led to many cricket writers and supporters of Zimbabwe cricket declaring the series already over but the truth is that after the first game was washed out, there is still the possibility of it finishing all square! TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview First things first, if Zimbabwe are to win this game and get back into the series ahead of the third and final match, they simply must find a way to play the Afghanistan bowlers better on Saturday! The tone was set at the top of the order when Ben Curran, brother of Sam and Tom, was run out from the final ball of the opening over for a six-ball duck and the team never recovered. They were eventually bowled out for just 54 and there would still have been 13 balls remaining in their innings if it had been a T20I! Afghanistan Preview There are many facts, stats and interesting points that one can pick out of the second ODI to show Afghanistan’s dominance but the most pertinent one is that they bowled out Zimbabwe for 54 without the great Rashid Khan even bowling one ball! That shows just how well the rest of the bowling attack performed with each of Fazalhaq Farooqi, Azmatullah Omarzai, AM Ghazanfar and Naveed Zadran picking up wickets whilst conceding less than 4.33 runs per over. Of course the batting was also very strong and the Afghans have a natural flair for attacking cricket. The opening pair of Sediqullah Atal (104) and Abdul Malik (84) will both come into this game brimming with confidence after putting on 191 inside 35 overs. Weather Conditions Although there could be some cloudy spells during the day, it promises to be another warm, sunny and dry one in Harare for this game with the temperature up at 29 degrees at its peak. ZIM vs AFG Pitch Report There is something for the bowlers to work with in Harare but the hosts certainly batted under par by being rolled out for 54! Afghanistan’s total of 286/6 was not over par and we think that 300 is an average score on this wicket. Toss: To Bat Afghanistan will be happy to do whatever in this game first but we expect Zimbabwe to show some confidence in their batting if they win the toss. If they do not then the series could be over so we predict that both captains will want to bat first.

India Women vs West Indies Women, IND-W vs WI-W 2024, Today Match Prediction

Vann Hiso2 days ago2 days ago07 mins

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India Women vs West Indies Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 22 ,Sunday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Reliance Cricket Stadium, Vadodara, India𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st ODI 2024 India Women have won eight of their last ten ODIs against West Indies Women. India 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. IND-W vs WIW Match Prediction & Analysis Fresh off their impressive T20I series win, the Indian Women’s team is gearing up for the ODI segment against West Indies Women. After clinching the T20Is 2-1, India Women head into the ODIs as the team to beat on home soil. Their recent track record against West Indies Women in ODIs looks solid, having won four out of their last five encounters, and they’ll be looking to maintain their winning momentum in the upcoming matches. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview India Women’s team enters the ODI series with a blend of new talent and seasoned campaigners, led by Harmanpreet Kaur. After a disappointing 0-3 series loss to Australia, the captain will aim to inspire her side to a much-needed victory. All eyes will be on Smriti Mandhana, who has been in exceptional form, cracking three consecutive fifties in the T20I series against West Indies. Moreover, the opener has smashed four centuries this year and averages close to 60 in ODIs. Mandhana’s track record against West Indies is exceptional and makes her a key player to watch. Jemimah Rodrigues has been in solid form and could add valuable runs, while Richa Ghosh and Harleen Deol will aim to stabilize the middle order. Deepti Sharma, with her all-round abilities, will be key to finishing innings on a high note. West Indies Preview West Indies Women’s haven’t been in great form in the 50-over format, losing three out of their last five games. Earlier this year, they were defeated 0-3 by Sri Lanka in similar conditions, suggesting India could pose a comparable challenge. Hayley Matthews will be key for the team. The all-rounder has been delivering outstanding performances with both bat and ball and is expected to take charge in this series. Shemaine Campbelle, who has shown good form in the middle order, will also be crucial. Batters like Qiana Joseph and all-rounder Deandra Dottin add further depth to the lineup. In the bowling department, Chinelle Henry and Afy Fletcher have been consistent wicket-takers, while Karishma Ramharack, Deandra Dottin, and Matthews strengthen the unit further. Together, they’ll need to step up to challenge India in what promises to be a competitive series. Weather Conditions The pitch at Reliance Stadium, Vadodara typically plays true with consistent bounce, making it good for batting. Early moisture might help seamers early on, but it tends to ease out as the day progresses. The outfield is quick, and batters can trust the bounce to play their shots. Spinners could find some grip in the middle overs. The weather in Vadodara will be hazy but cool. IND-W vs WIW Pitch Report The average first innings total at the Reliance Stadium is 211 runs. The highest total posted here is Australia Women’s 332-7 versus India Women. They won that game by 95 runs. The team batting first in this game will look to set a score of around 240-250 runs. Toss: To Bowl Past records show that no team has a distinct advantage by batting or bowling first at this venue. But given the recent trends in ODIs nowadays, the team winning the toss will look to field first.

Hobart Hurricanes vs Perth Scorchers, BBLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Hobart Hurricanes vs Perth Scorchers𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 21 ,Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 10:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Blundstone Arena, Bellerive, Australia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Big Bash League, 2024-25 Hurricanes’ big test after batting meltdown Hobart Hurricanes vs Perth Scorchers 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. HBH vs PRS Match Prediction & Analysis It is the seventh game in the ongoing Big Bash League 2024-25, and the Hobart Hurricanes will take on the Perth Scorchers in their first home game this season. The Hurricanes started the season with a loss, losing to the Melbourne Renegades in their opening game. The Perth Scorchers will look to build on their form after defeating the Melbourne Stars in their first game. The Perth Scorchers will look to extend their good record against the Hobart Hurricanes. They have won the last four out of five games against the Hurricanes, and the players will look to draw inspiration from those wins. The Hurricanes struggled with the bat in the last game, and the team will need to pull up its socks to defeat the Scorchers and put their campaign back on track. TEAMS PREVIEW Hobart Hurricanes Preview Nathan Ellis and his men must put the disastrous loss in the last game behind them. They were bowled out for 74 runs against the Melbourne Renegades, losing the game by 6 wickets. Ellis would like to see a better show from his top and middle order in this contest and do well. Matthew Wade and Mitchell Owen didn’t score much in the last game, and the team needs an electrifying start from the pair. Shai Hope and Ben McDermott are experienced players and will look to add runs in the middle order with Nikhil Chaudhary. Tim David, Chris Jordan, and Nathan Ellis must do a good job in the lower middle order for the team to win. Perth Scorchers Preview Ashton Turner and his men will be confident heading into their second game. They have started the tournament on a strong note, defeating the Melbourne Stars by 6 wickets. The bowling attack looks excellent, and Turner would like his team to continue with their good record against the Hurricanes with another win. The team will expect a better start from Finn Allen and Keaton Jennings, as both players went out cheaply against the Stars. Cooper Connolly will be confident after his match-winning knock in the last game and shall look to add runs in the middle order with Matthew Hurst and Turner. Nick Hobson and Ashton Agar add depth to the batting. Weather Conditions Hobart will have clear skies on December 21. Batsmen would find the conditions challenging early in the game, where the ball does a bit. The ball will come onto the bat nicely, allowing strokeplay. 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 PRS Pitch Report Bellerive Oval, Hobart, is a small venue, and the short square boundaries offer many 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. Toss: To Bowl The team chasing the score has won seven out of the last eight games. The wicket is good to bat on in the second half, but bowlers have a good time on this track in the first half of the game. Hence, the side that wins the toss in this game will likely opt for bowling first.

Sydney Thunder vs Sydney Sixers, BBLT20, Today Match Prediction

Vann Hiso3 days ago3 days ago05 mins

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sydney Thunder vs Sydney Sixers𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 21 ,Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:45 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park, Australia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Big Bash League, 2024-25 Sydney Sixers have won each of their last four completed games against Sydney Thunder. Sydney Thunder vs Sydney Sixers 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 SYS Match Prediction & Analysis Sydney Sixers will face Sydney Thunder in the eighth match of the 2024-25 Big Bash League (BBL). Both teams are riding high after securing wins in their opening games, and they’ll be keen to maintain that positive energy. The Sixers, though, have a strong upper hand, having gone unbeaten against the Thunder in their last four meetings. This history gives them a psychological advantage heading into the clash. TEAMS PREVIEW Sydney Thunder Preview Daniel Sams’ late hitting and an impressive BBL debut for Sam Konstas allowed David Warner to begin his time as Sydney Thunder captain with a memorable victory against the Adelaide Strikers in Canberra. Sydney Sixers Preview Sydney Sixers started their campaign with a solid 5-wicket win against Melbourne Renegades. Chasing a decent target of 170, the Sixers romped home in 18.3 overs courtesy of superb performances by skipper Moises Henriques (53* off 37 balls), along with James Vince (40 off 29) and Jack Edwards (37 off 28). The Sixers’ batting is a force to be reckoned with, posing a threat to every bowling unit in the tournament. With Daniel Hughes, James Vince, and Josh Philippe at the top, and followed by players such as captain Moises Henriques, Jordan Silk and Sean Abbott, who regularly add important runs towards the end of innings to get the Sixers across the finish line, they have depth and power. Weather Conditions Sydney Showground Stadium typically offers a balanced pitch for T20 cricket, with relatively short boundaries. The surface is known for its true bounce and good carry, favoring both batsmen and bowlers. While pacers can find some early swing and seam movement with the new ball, spinners may find it challenging to grip and turn later in the game. Expect a high-scoring contest if conditions remain good. The weather forecast suggests clear and pleasant conditions for the game. SYT vs SYS Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Sydney Showground Stadium is 149. The highest total posted at the venue is Brisbane Heat’s 203/5 versus Sydney Thunder last year. They won that game by 8 runs. The team batting first in this match will look to score around 170-180 runs. Toss: To Bowl Four of the last five BBL games at the Sydney Showground Stadium have been won by the team chasing, suggesting that fielding first might be the better option here.

West Indies vs Bangladesh, WI vs BAN 2024, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : West Indies vs Bangladesh𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 20 ,Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 05:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Arnos Vale Stadium, Arnos Vale, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd T20 2024 Bangladesh have the opportunity to complete a famous 3-0 clean sweep when they take on West Indies on Thursday in Kingstown. West Indies 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. WI vs BAN Match Prediction & Analysis Bangladesh winning a T20I series away from home is not something which happens regularly but their two victories in the opening two games have given them only their fourth away series win in 17 attempts! For West Indies, it is a case of back to the drawing board once again. They are a team who have had so many false dawns over the years but they really struggle to find consistency across all formats at the same time. TEAMS PREVIEW West Indies Preview In Tuesday’s second game of the series at the Arnos Vale Ground, West Indies seemed to have given themselves an excellent chance of levelling the series when they reduced Bangladesh to 129/7 from their 20 overs. Romario Shepherd, one of the host’s most reliable white ball bowlers, was the only member of the attack to go wicketless and Obed McCoy was the only one to have a bowling economy of over 9.00. In this game, we expect the spin-twins, Gudakesh Motie and Akeal Hosein, to get plenty of turn and to be a threat throughout with the ball. Batting wise, Brandon King and Nicholas Pooran contributed only 13 runs between themselves in the second T20I but they are likely to be the most important batters in this game. Bangladesh Preview There is so much confidence running through this Bangladesh T20I side that even a poor effort with the bat was not enough to knock them off their stride in the last game. The top two, Litton Das and Soumya Sarkar, will both be keen to improve on a poor return in Tuesday’s T20I and both have strong international records to fall back on. There could also be a promotion up the batting order for Shamim Hossain who not only impressed with 35 not out from number eight but did it from only 17 balls. With the ball, the entire attack were excellent in terms of keeping the runs down and pace bowler Taskin Ahmed stood out with his figures of 3/16. Once again, there are plenty of match-winners with the ball for Bangladesh, ready to step up! Weather Conditions The forecast is for very humid conditions throughout this game on Thursday evening in Kingstown. It will be cloudy from start to finish with the temperature staying around 26 degrees. WI vs BAN Pitch Report After the first game of the series yielded 287 runs, the second match saw that total drop to 229! We do not expect a run-fest in this final T20I with a par total likely to be no higher than 140. Toss: To Bat This pitch tends to slow down as the game progresses so we are predicting that both captains will go out to the middle for the toss with the intention of batting first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Adelaide Strikers vs Melbourne Stars 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 20 ,Friday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 17:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Adelaide Oval, North Adelaide, Australia 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Big Bash League, 2024-25 Adelaide Strikers’ quest to make a strong comeback Adelaide Strikers 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. ADS vs MLS Match Prediction & Analysis The Big Bash League 2024-25 has seen exciting games. The competition is heating up, and Adelaide Strikers will look for their first win as they take on the Melbourne Stars in the 6th match. The Strikers lost their first game against the Sydney Thunder and shall look to make a strong comeback. Melbourne Stars will face the heat going into this game after losing against Brisbane Heat by 8 wickets. The Melbourne Stars have lost both the games they have played, and the team is struggling with its form. The bowling attack lacks teeth, and the team needs a turnaround from the bowlers to win this contest. Adelaide Strikers have their batsmen in good form, and it will be interesting to see if the Melbourne Stars can stop the downward slide with a strong comeback. TEAMS PREVIEW Adelaide Strikers Preview Matthew Short’s side hasn’t had the perfect start to the season. In a nail-biting contest, they went down against the Sydney Thunder by 2 wickets. While the batsmen did well in the last game, the bowling attack had a poor outing. Short would expect a better performance from his bowlers and look to exploit Melbourne Stars’ lack of form. Matthew Short will look to lead from the front and deliver a good start with Jake Weatherald, who played well in the last game. Chris Lynn is a powerful striker, and he must build partnerships with Harry Nielsen and Alex Ross in the middle order. The side has depth in the batting, and we should expect a good show from Jamie Overton, Fabian Allen, and James Bazley. Melbourne Stars Preview Marcus Stoinis’ team will be under pressure heading into this game. They have lost back-to-back games and sit at the bottom of the points table. They struggled in the last game against Brisbane Heat in an 8-wicket loss. Alarm bells have started ringing in the camp, and Stoinis expects his players to pull up their socks and perform well. The opening combination isn’t working for the team, and the side expects Thomas Rogers and Joe Clarke to set a strong platform at the top. Sam Harper will look to steer the innings in the middle order and add runs with Stoinis and Hilton Cartwright. They have depth in the lineup and expect Beau Webster and Tom Curran to do the heavy lifting in the death overs. Weather Conditions We expect clear skies over Adelaide. It is a high-scoring wicket, with high-scoring games in the last two years. Bowlers find it hard to bowl on this surface with little for them on it. The average first-innings score is 158 runs, and the first side to bat would need at least 180 runs on the board. ADS vs MLS Pitch Report Adelaide Oval is one of the best batting surfaces in Australia. It has short boundaries around the square, allowing batsmen to play their strokes freely. Fast bowlers have done well at this venue, but spinners have always struggled as there is little margin for error due to the dimensions of the ground. Toss: To Bowl The team chasing the score has won the last four games at this venue. It is a good wicket to bat on where defending scores haven’t been easy. The side that wins the toss would look to bowl first and restrict the opponents to a small total.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Melbourne Renegades vs Hobart Hurricanes𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 19 ,Thursday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 17:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : GMHBA Stadium, South Geelong, Australia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Big Bash League, 2024-25 Melbourne Renegades’ challenge to make a strong comeback South Africa vs Pakistan 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. MLR vs HBH Match Prediction & Analysis It is the 5th game in the Big Bash League 2024-25. The Melbourne Renegades will look to make a strong comeback as they take on the Hobart Hurricanes. The Renegades made a poor start to the tournament, losing against the Sydney Sixers in their first game. The Hurricanes begin their campaign with this game and will look to win and set the tone for the rest of the season. The Hobart Hurricanes have enjoyed a good record against the Melbourne Renegades, winning the last five out of six games between the two teams. They have a strong batting lineup and shall look to drive home a win. The Renegades will be under pressure in this game. They struggled with the ball in the last game, and it will be interesting to see if the team can make a comeback. TEAMS PREVIEW Melbourne Renegades Preview It wasn’t the kind of start that Will Sutherland and his team would have liked. They went down by Sydney Sixers in their opening game by 5 wickets. The side batted well but needs a better show from the bowlers. They must win this game and avoid repeating their poor show in the first half as in the last season. Jake Fraser-McGurk and Josh Brown started well in the last game, and the team expects them to deliver an electrifying start. Tim Seifert batted well in the last game, and he must add runs in the middle order with Mackenzie Harvey and Laurie Evans. Sutherland and Hassan Khan add depth to this batting lineup and must add runs in the death overs. The bowling attack struggled in the last game. Thomas Rogers and Fergus O’Neill bowled poorly in the last game with the new ball, and the team expects a better show. Adam Zampa is the key bowler in the side, and he must do well in the middle overs with Kane Richardson. Hassan Khan and Sutherland will look to do well in the supporting role. Hobart Hurricanes Preview Nathan Ellis’ side didn’t have a great season in the last edition. The side won only four out of ten games and didn’t qualify for the playoffs. The team will look to make a strong start in the season with a win. They have a good record against the Melbourne Renegades, and Ellis would like a strong show from his players to extend this record. Matthew Wade is an experienced player and must deliver a strong start with Caleb Jewell. The middle order wasn’t consistent last season, and the team would like to see a good show from Macalister Wright, Ben McDermott, and Mitchell Owen. Tim David is a good finisher and looks forward to doing well with Nikhil Chaudhary and Chris Jordan.
