𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : West Indies vs England𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 17, Sunday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 01:30 AM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Daren Sammy Cricket Ground, Gros Islet, Saint Lucia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 4th T20I 2024 England have already won the series and will be looking to make it 4-0. West Indies 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. WI vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis West Indies and England will lock horns in the fourth T20I at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium this Saturday. England have taken an unassailable lead of 3-0 in the 5-match T20I series, and will be looking to make it 4-0 after the next match. West Indies, meanwhile, have been poor throughout the series and will be looking forward to putting up a better show in the remaining two matches. TEAMS PREVIEW West Indies Preview West Indies have been below par all through this T20I series. In the third match, West Indies were reduced to 37/5 within the powerplay. However, thanks to captain Rovman Powell’s 54 off 41 and Romario Shepherd (30 off 28), they managed to put up a respectable total of 145-8 on the board. However, that wasn’t enough as England reached home with four balls to spare and three wickets remaining. England Preview In their small chase of 146 in the third T20I, England were reduced to 37/3. Then, Sam Curran (41 off 26) and Liam Livingstone (39 off 28) played important knocks that helped their team get over the line. Different batters have stepped up at important times for England this series. Philip Salt scored that hundred in the first game. Jos Buttler smashed an unbeaten 83 off 45 in the second T20I. Liam Livingstone has had two good knocks, and even newbie Jacob Bethell has scored a fifty. Weather Conditions The pitch at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium tends to offer good support for both batters and bowlers in white-ball games. However, with recent heavy rains in St. Lucia, there’s some moisture on the surface, as seen in the last match here. This added dampness means spinners and pacers can expect a bit more grip, and they’ll probably use slower balls and cutters to disrupt the batters’ timing. The weather will be humid and cloudy. There is very little chance of rain, so we should get a full match. WI vs ENG Pitch Report The average first innings score at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium is 168. However, the surface will be slower this time, and the team batting first will be looking to set a score of around 160 runs. Toss: To Bowl Jos Buttler’s decision to field first has paid off in every game of this T20I series, with England winning each match. Chances are high that both captains will be looking to bowl first once again in this upcoming game.

ADSW vs HHW Match Prediction & Analysis It is the most important stage in the Women’s Big Bash League 2024. The Adelaide Strikers Women face a massive challenge in the 29th match, where they take on the table toppers Hobart Hurricanes Women. The Strikers Women have had a poor season and lost to the Hurricanes Women in the last game. They will look for a turnaround as the Hurricanes Women look to build on the momentum. TEAMS PREVIEW Adelaide Strikers Preview Tahlia McGrath’s team is out of contention for the next game. They sit at the bottom of the points table with only one win in seven games. The side went down by 28 runs in the last game against the Hobart Hurricanes Women. They take on the same opponent in this contest, and McGrath would like her players to do well and restore their pride and confidence. Smriti Mandhana batted well in the last game, and she must deliver a strong start with Katie Mack, as the Hurricanes have a strong bowling attack. The famed middle order has been inconsistent, and the side needs a good show from Laura Wolvaardt, Bridget Patterson, and Tahlia McGrath. Madeline Penna, Orla Prendergast, and Amanda-Jade Wellington must add quick runs in the lower middle order. Hobart Hurricanes Preview Elyse Villani’s team is flying high. They have won the last two games by comfortable margins and have put themselves comfortably on the top of the points table. The side will be confident with their performance in the last game. Villani would look to build on this form and book a berth in the playoffs. Lizelle Lee has scored hundreds in the last two games and is confident. She will look to deliver a good start with Danielle Wyatt-Hodge. Elyse Villani, Nicola Carey, and Heather Graham make it a formidable middle order. The side will also expect a good show in the lower middle order from Chole Tryon and Kathryn Bryce. Weather Conditions We expect clear overcast skies over Adelaide. It has been a high-scoring wicket, where there have been high-scoring games. The average first innings score is around 150 runs, and the side batting first will need 170 runs on the board. ADSW vs HHW Pitch Report Adelaide Oval is one of the best batting surfaces in Australia. It has short boundaries around the square, allowing batters 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 an advantage at this venue. The small size of the ground allows batters to strategize run chases. The side winning the score will take a cue from the past results and opt to bowl first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : South Africa vs India𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 15, Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 20:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : DP World Wanderers Stadium, Sandton, South Africa𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 4th T20I 2024 India have a very good record at the Wanderers, winning four of the six T20Is they have played here. South Africa vs India 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. RSA vs IND Match Prediction & Analysis It’s all coming down to this Friday! South Africa and India are going head-to-head one last time in the T20 series, this time at the Wanderers. India lead the four-match series 2-1, after pulling off a thrilling win in the last match. So, it’s do-or-die for the home team if they want to tie things up. India’s had a lot of success at the Wanderers and they’re playing well right now, so the Proteas need to bring their A-game if they want to come out on top. TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview South Africa fell short by 11 runs in their pursuit of a stiff 220-run target at Centurion. Marco Jansen’s (54 off 17) sensational effort at the end and Heinrich Klaasen (41 off 23) brief assault took them close, but they were never really in the chase. The game slipped away from the Proteas due to the 19 extras they allowed, compared to just 6 from India. India Preview Tilak Varma’s spectacular first T20I century powered India to an 11-run victory, securing a 2-1 series lead. His rapid partnership with Abhishek Sharma (50 off 25) made the most of the PowerPlay, and Varma continued his onslaught even as South Africa tried to regain control. India’s total of 219/6 proved too much for the hosts to chase down. Weather Conditions Johannesburg’s Wanderers Stadium is known for a pitch that’s fast and offers lively bounce. While pace bowlers will get some movement off the surface at the start, batters will likely find it easy to score runs thanks to the consistent pace and bounce. Spinners will need to be very precise with their deliveries, as the pitch won’t offer much spin. The weather in Johannesburg will be nice and pleasant. There is no forecast of rain, and we should get a full match. RSA vs IND Pitch Report The average first innings score at Wanderers is 174. The highest total posted at the venue is West Indies’ 236-6 while chasing a target of 232 against South Africa in 2015. This will likely be another high-scoring contest, and the team batting first will look to get a score of around 200-210 runs. Toss: To Bat Last year, both the men’s T20Is played at the Wanderers Stadium were won by the team batting first. This will likely prompt both captains to bat first in this game.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : West Indies vs England𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 15, Friday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 01:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Daren Sammy Cricket Ground, Gros Islet, Saint Lucia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd T20I 2024 With three games of the series to go, England can wrap it up at the earliest opportunity when they take on West Indies in Gros Islet. West Indies 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. WI vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis This T20I series followed immediately after West Indies triumphed in the ODI series 2-1, but there has been no momentum taken into this shorter format with England cruising to two victories in Barbados. But a switch of islands, and a new ground in the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, could be just what West Indies need after being out-played in both of the openers. Unsurprisingly, there have been changes to West Indies’ squad ahead of this game and the home supporters will be desperate to see them make a difference and keep the series alive. TEAMS PREVIEW West Indies Preview After two T20Is with no batter making a half-century and only five wickets taken in total by the bowling attack, something is going to have to change for West Indies in this game. It might need Romario Shepherd, their leading wicket taker with three dismissals and their second highest run scorer in the series, to go up the order, or it may be that the returning Alzarri Joseph is able to give them enough aggression with the ball to stop England’s attacking run scoring approach. England Preview For England, this series has been a real breath of fresh air after they lost the ODIs and were accused in some quarters of not taking white ball cricket seriously enough. However, the return of captain Jos Buttler has proved to be a huge plus for the side with his calm leadership a feature of both T20Is in the series so far. Weather Conditions Typical Caribbean weather conditions are forecast for this game with humidity high throughout and the threat of rain never too far away. Equally, it will be very warm and it would be a surprise to see any of the players in the field without plenty of sweat on their shirts! WI vs ENG Pitch Report This is a good batting wicket in Gros Islet and one where India skipper Rohit Sharma hit 92 runs from 41 balls in the last T20I here. Equally, in the last head to head between England and West Indies at this venue, Phil Salt also produced a Player of the Match performance so expect good pace in the wicket and the top order batters will be able to take full advantage during the power-play. Toss: To Bowl With four of the last five T20Is at this venue won by the team batting first, we expect both sides to want to post a total in the first innings of the game. This will be a change for England who have won both of the games in this series after fielding first and then chasing down a total.

SYSW vs BHW Match Prediction & Analysis As the race to the playoffs gets tighter, the number 5 and 6 teams go head to head in a crucial game at the North Sydney Oval in Sydney. Sixers feature some of the best T20 cricketers in the squad including Aussie superstars like Elysse Perry and Alyssa Healey. And yet they struggled to chase down 159 in the last game and were bowled out for just 140 runs. For Brisbane Heat, Jemimah Rodrigues played a big role in helping them bounce back after suffering 3 losses in a row. TEAMS PREVIEW Sydney Sixers Preview Skipper Ellysse Perry leads a very strong overall squad that hasn’t lived up to expectations. They’ve got some solid all-rounders in the side that add great variety to the bowling attack. The left-arm orthodox bowler from England, Sophie Ecclestone will be a key bowler in this match. She failed to deliver breakthroughs in the last outing and was quite expensive as well. Brisbane Heat Preview Brisbane Heat finally put an end to their losing streak after 3 consecutive losses. In their previous outings, it was the batting that suffered leading to their defeat. But it is not the only concern for the Brisbane skipper to address coming into this match. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy in Sydney with a high of 19 degrees Celsius. There should be no rain as far as the weather forecast goes and we should have a complete T20 game between the Sixers and Heat. SYSW vs BHW Pitch Report It is a good wicket for batting and has plenty of help on offer for batters in both innings. Though teams batting first have the upper hand here, the games have been quite closely fought with the chasing team coming in close distance of the target more than often. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 T20s is 162 runs. We reckon a 175+ total at this venue can be a match-winning score in this match. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first have won 7 of the last 10 T20s played at this venue in Sydney. It seems like a good venue for batting and both teams should be keen on making the most of these conditions and back their batters to put the team on top of the game.

SL vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis We are in the first match of the three-match ODI series between Sri Lanka and New Zealand. The two teams shared the honors in the T20 series, with New Zealand making a strong comeback in the second game after losing the first. The Kiwis have enjoyed a good tour of the subcontinent and shall look to build on the momentum as the Sri Lankans look to hold the fort strong. Sri Lanka is enjoying an excellent run at home. The team has lost only once in the last 10 games and has been a tough side to beat. They have a strong spin attack, which has troubled batters in these conditions. New Zealand doesn’t have a good record in Sri Lanka, and it remains to be seen if they can do things differently this time. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Charith Asalanka and his team have seen New Zealand’s strengths in the last T20. They will be up for a good fight in this game. The side defeated West Indies in the last ODI series at home, and the players will take inspiration from that. Asalanka expects a strong show from his players to take a lead in the series. New Zealand Preview Mitchell Santner will be proud of his team’s comeback in the last game. They started the T20 series with a loss but finished on a high. The team is missing some of its key players in this series, who are out with injury. Santner will look to lead from the front in this game and help his team to an early lead. Weather Conditions Dambulla will have overcast skies. The wicket is slow, which will likely make life tough for the batters as they will have to play well against balls that stop on them. Spinners would like bowling on this surface. The average first innings score is 212 runs, and the side batting first needs 300 on the board. SL vs NZ Pitch Report Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Dambulla, is a tough wicket for the batters as the ball doesn’t come onto the bat nicely. Fast bowlers don’t see any assistance from the surface, and they must rely on their skills alone. It has been a good hunting ground for the spinners in the past.
