𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : South Africa Women vs Scotland Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 09, Wednesday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 15:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ICC Womens T20 World Cup, 2024 Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits, Marizanne Kapp are our picks for South Africa Women’s players to watch out for. South Africa vs Scotland 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. RSAW vs SCT-W Match Prediction & Analysis South Africa Women will look to gain some crucial points when they take on Scotland Women in the 11th match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup this Wednesday. This afternoon match will take place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. South Africa have started the tournament with a win and a loss, and this is the perfect opportunity for them to get back to the two two. Meanwhile, Scotland Women have lost both their matches so far and face a daunting challenge as they lock horns with a formidable opposition. TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview South Africa Women started their World Cup with a win over West Indies Women, but followed it up with a 7-wicket loss to England Women. That loss has taken them down to third place in Group B and pushed their NRR to 0.245. Scotland Preview Scotland Women haven’t had the best of starts to their Women’s T20 World Cup campaign. They lost their first two games – by 16 runs against Bangladesh Women and by 6 wickets against West Indies Women. The two consecutive losses mean, they are right at the bottom of the Group B table with an NRR of -1.897. Weather Conditions The pitch at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium has proven to be a slow surface. Spinners will find plenty of purchase off the surface as the ball will grip and turn. Batters can’t just hit through the line and will need to hit the gaps smartly. The best time for batting will e the powerplay overs. Once the pitch starts to slow down, batting will become even more difficult. The weather in Dubai during the match will be hot and humid. There is no chance of rain so we will get a full game. RSAW vs SCT-W Pitch Report This is likely to be another low-scoring game. The pitch is slow and the boundaries are long. Scoring fours and sixes won’t be easy. If South Africa bat first, they will target a score of around 130-140 runs. If Scotland bat first, they are likely to touch 120 or thereabouts provided they bat well. They can also struggle to cross 100 runs if their top-order doesn’t fire. Toss: To Bowl Both the afternoon games played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in this World Cup have been won by the chasing side. Thus, the team winning the toss is almost certainly going to field first here.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Australia vs New Zealand Women’s𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 08, Tuesday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ICC Womens T20 World Cup, 2024 Will Australia continue their dominance over the Kiwis? Australia vs New Zealand Women’s 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 NZW Match Prediction & Analysis Australia and New Zealand will lock horns in the 10th match of the Women’s T20 World Cup in Sharjah. Both teams have played a match here and were brilliant with the ball. TEAMS PREVIEW Australia Preview Australia have started their title defense with a win over Sri Lanka. Megan Schutt, Ashleigh Gardner, and Sophie Molineux were the top bowlers for the defending champions. They will be the ones to watch out for in this match too. Georgia Wareham and Gardner were quite successful in delivering consistent breakthroughs against New Zealand Women in their recent home series. New Zealand Preview The Whiteferns will be delighted after their brilliant win over India. They completely outplayed the opposition, dominating with both bat and ball. Skipper Sophie Devine led the batting effort with an unbeaten 57 off 36 balls at number 4. Her exceptional performance will boost their confidence as they face their rival at a neutral venue. Suzie Bates, Georgia Plimmer, and Amelia Kerr are all quality batters in the top 3 with plenty of experience. Weather Conditions It will be a clear sky in Sharjah on the match day with a high of 33 degrees Celsius around the time of the game. We can expect a complete T20 match without any interruptions due to weather conditions. There hasn’t been any due so far in the evening games and teams have struggled with the bat in the 2nd innings. AUSW vs NZW Pitch Report It is a dry pitch and will assist both pacers and spinners. The Kiwi pacers were exceptional against India while the spinners in the Australian bowling attack cleaned up the Sri Lankan middle-order. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 matches at this venue is 145 runs. If the team batting first can put on 160 or more, that would be a very competitive total at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first won 4 of the 6 matches in the Women’s T20 World Cup so far. It isn’t easy to chase an above-par total on this pitch and with the kind of bowling attack both teams have, batting first and defending a total seem like the ideal choice.

They will play the third and final game of the series against Ireland at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi on 7th October from 5 pm onwards. South Africa is not sure about the availability of their skipper Temba Bavuma who was forced to retire hurt in the second game. TEAMS PREVIEW Ireland Preview Ireland has now lost all the ODIs that were played in 2024. Skipper Paul Sterling will have a difficult task to finish the series on a high note. He will open the innings with Andrew McBirnie. Stirling has 535 runs in 20 innings since the start of the last year. On the other hand, Balbirnie has scored 485 runs at an average of 30.31 in eighteen innings. South Africa Preview With Temba Bavuma’s availability in doubt, Rassie van der Dussen might be leading the team in the last game. Ryan Rickelton will open the innings with Jason Smith. Rickelton has 131 runs in the first two games. Rassie van der Dussen will come at number three. Weather Conditions The weather will be hot and humid with no chance of rain. The temperatures will be between 29°C and 37°C. Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi is renowned for having a batting-friendly surface that is beneficial to batters. The neutral playing surface, strong pace, and bounce make it an excellent place for early wickets.

The last game’s total was the highest total which was registered on this ground. Toss: To Bat In 53 ODIs, the team has successfully defended the target on 35 occasions.

Pakistan vs England, PAK vs ENG 2024, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Pakistan vs England𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 07, Monday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 11:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Multan International Cricket Stadium, Multan City, Pakistan𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st Test 2024 England return to the country where they won all three Tests in 2022 with their sights set on another 3-0 victory! Pakistan 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. PAK vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis The start of any Test series is always an exciting one and there will be plenty of eyes on this game across the globe particularly as England won the series 3-0 the last time they were here. And when you throw in Pakistan’s poor recent home record, there is plenty for their coach, Australian Jason Gillespie, to sort out. TEAMS PREVIEW Pakistan Preview This Pakistan side has more talent than many other Test teams on the circuit at the moment but they have been unable to bring it together in a Test at home since February 2021! Babar Azam has not been at his usual high standards in this format but has the quality to turn it back on again and with Abdullah Shafique and captain Shan Masood in the top three, runs should not be a struggle. Equally, Saud Shakeel averages 56.30 from his 23 Test innings and Pakistan need to post big in their first innings. England Preview After arriving in Pakistan for this Test series in 2022 with limited expectations which they were able to easily outdo, England arrive for this series two years later with expectations a lot higher. However, the truth is that they are not at full strength with either the bat, the ball or in their leadership! Weather Conditions The forecast is for exceptionally hot conditions throughout this Test with day one, Monday, being the hottest of the lot! The temperature is expected to reach 37 degrees towards the end of the day which could mean some very tired bowlers and fielders. No rain is forecast from day one to day five in this Test. PAK vs ENG Pitch Report The last Test at this venue saw plenty of turn for the spinners throughout the game but we expect a little bit more for the pacers to work with in this match. This will not be the quickest pitch ever seen in Pakistan for a Test and we expect a par first innings total to be no more than 310. Toss: To Bat With such hot conditions forecast on day one, we expect this to be an easy decision for both captains at the toss. The pitch will surely disintegrate across the five days with the temperature so hot and we predict both skippers to choose to bat first.

India Women vs Pakistan Women, ICCWWC__T20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India vs Pakistan Women’s𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 06, Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ICC Womens T20 World Cup, 2024 In their last five T20I encounters, Pakistan Women have secured victory against India Women only once. India vs Pakistan Women’s 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 PAKW Match Prediction & Analysis It’s time for another exciting India-Pakistan clash at an ICC event. India Women will lock horns with Pakistan Women in the 7th match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. The blockbuster clash will take place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium this Sunday. India have dominated Pakistan in the T20 format and will certainly begin as favorites. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview India Women enter this match after receiving a 58-run thrashing against New Zealand Women. Chasing a 162-run target, India were bundled for a paltry 102. It was a disappointing performance overall. That loss has made things difficult for the team, as every game will be crucial for them. Pakistan Preview Fatima Sana made a valuable contribution late in the innings as Pakistan’s spinners restricted Sri Lanka on a slower pitch in Sharjah, leading to an impressive 31-run victory in their opening T20 World Cup opener. After choosing to bat first, Pakistan were bowled out for 116, but they effectively contained Sri Lanka, who struggled to build any momentum after losing Chamari Athapaththu early in their innings. Weather Conditions The Dubai pitch tends to be dry and slow, allowing bowlers to dominate. The new ball might move a little, so batters should take their time before going for big hits. After the early overs, spinners are likely to have the upper hand, making batting tough. Patience and strategic play will be essential for batters looking to accumulate runs. The weather in Dubai is expected to be clear with temperatures of over 30 degrees. IND-W vs PAKW Pitch Report Currently, the average score for the team batting first stands at 90, but that number is expected to rise by the end of this World Cup. Teams batting first will strive to reach a total of around 140-150 runs. Toss: To Bowl Four of the seven women’s T20Is played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium have been won by the chasing side. Both captains will be aware of this record and are likely to bowl first in this game.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : West Indies Women vs Scotland Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 06, Sunday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ICC Womens T20 World Cup, 2024 Which of these two teams will pick up their first win of the tournament and make their move up the table? Who will slide down? West Indies Women vs Scotland 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. WIW vs SCT-W Match Prediction & Analysis West Indies women take on Scotland women in a crucial Group B encounter as both teams look to try and get their campaign quickly back on track after a crushing defeat in their respective matches to kick off their World T20 campaign. TEAMS PREVIEW West Indies Preview A clumsy performance by the batters and a far worse bowling effort by the bowlers handed West Indies women a massive 10 wicket defeat in their tournament opener against South Africa. They can’t afford to dwell on that for long, with their next fixture against Scotland due to start in a day’s time. Scotland Preview Scotland’s first ever match at the women’s world T20 didn’t go according to plan. Having missed an opportunity to bat well and close the game against Bangladesh. Forced to field under arid conditions, Scottish fielders felt the heat grassing simple catches that eventually cost them in the end. Rachel Slater with the new ball couldn’t have an impact, but Scottish captain Kathryn Bell and spinners Olivia Bell and Katherine Fraser struck to remove the settled Bangladesh batters to push them on to back foot. Weather Conditions The pitches here in Dubai have been better for batting than Sharjah. The batters up top need to curb their instincts to attack early on and get a sighter before they get on with playing their natural game. You can always make up for a slow start by going bang bang at the end but it’s all about preserving wickets here. Both South Africa women and New Zealand women went on to win their first games, after having made sure they didn’t give away their wickets inside the powerplay overs. Bowling a stump to stump line is key to picking up wickets here, whether it’s a medium pacer or spinner operating. Weather-wise, things are looking good and the players can look forward to playing under nice and cool conditions as the evening sets in. WIW vs SCT-W Pitch Report This match will be played at the Dubai international cricket stadium. West Indies women lost their first match at this venue to South Africa the other day. Toss: To Bowl Scotland’s best chance of registering a victory would be to put West Indies into bat and restrict them from scoring an above par total. Having lost their first fixture batting first, the women in Maroon would want to bat second. The captain winning the toss is more likely to choose to field first.

AUSW vs SLW Match Prediction & Analysis The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, 2024, has got off to a good start. Defending champions Australia Women will begin their campaign as they take on Sri Lanka Women in the 6th match. Sri Lanka Women have gotten off to a poor start, losing their opening game against Pakistan Women, and they will look to put up a good fight against the Australians. Australia Women has won all seven games they have played against Sri Lanka Women in the past. The World Champions have lost only once in the last 10 games and are in superb form. The Sri Lankan batting looked like shambles in the last game, and it will be interesting to see if the team can recover from the slump and do well. TEAMS PREVIEW Australia Preview Alyssa Healy’s team will look to make a grand start as they defend the title again. The team has dominated this tournament with only 8 losses in 44 games in the last eight editions. They have a strong batting lineup and a bowling attack that can rip apart any opposition. Healy would like a strong show from his players and take a lead on the points table. Sri Lanka Preview Chamari Athapaththu’s team has had a poor start in the tournament. The team went down by 31 runs against Pakistan Women in their first game. The batting lineup performed badly as they failed to chase a low total. They have never defeated Australia in the past, and Athapaththu must lead from the front and take her side to a win. Weather Conditions There are predictions for clear skies over Sharjah. It will be a flat surface that allows batters to play freely. There isn’t much on this track for the fast bowlers, but spinners can trouble the batters. The average first innings score is around 140 runs, and the side batting first would like 160 runs on the board. AUSW vs SLW Pitch Report Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah, is a high scoring with the small size of the ground and fast outfield helping batters score quick runs. There is absolutely nothing on this surface for fast bowlers. Spinners have enjoyed a good record here as the ball can turn sharply and stop on the batters. Toss: To Bowl Chasing scores at this venue is easy as the wicket doesn’t change its character in the second half. We have seen big run chases at the venue, and sides struggle to defend totals. The side winning the toss will prefer to bowl first and restrict the opposition to a small total.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India Women vs New Zealand Women𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 04, Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ICC Womens T20 World Cup, 2024 India Women and New Zealand Women begin their 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup adventure on Friday afternoon in Dubai. India Women vs New Zealand 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 NZW Match Prediction & Analysis By the time this game begins, we will already have enjoyed three matches in the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup but the arrival of an India side in any global tournament is one not to miss! This is particularly the case in this T20 World Cup as India Women will be one of the best if not the best supported sides in the UAE. They have a mission to achieve as well after a disappointing showing in 2022 where they did not make the final and were knocked out in the semis. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview Although it is Australia Women who come into this tournament as most pundit’s first choice, India Women are not too far behind and we expect them to field their best XI in this game as they look to get off to a winning start. New Zealand Preview With their male counterparts proving themselves adept at producing some excellent performances at major tournaments over the last decade, New Zealand Women have struggled to really make an impact against the best teams. However, with New Zealand Men now seemingly going through a period of transition, now is the time for the White Ferns to step up! Weather Conditions There will certainly be no rain interrupting this contest in Dubai with the players on both sides likely to be fielding in temperatures of over 32 degrees. Humidity levels will move around in between 50 and 60% but will not rise much higher than this even during the evening. IND-W vs NZW Pitch Report The Dubai International Cricket Stadium should have a fair bit of pace in the wicket which will encourage the stroke-makers in both line-ups to really play their shots. Whoever bats first will be looking to post a total of at least 150 to give themselves a real chance of beginning this campaign with a victory.
