𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sydney Sixers vs Sydney Thunder𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 17 ,Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:45 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Sydney Cricket Ground, Moore Park, Australia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Big Bash League, 2024-25 The team that wins this game is locked into a top-two position, meaning they get a safety net in the playoffs. Sydney Sixers vs Sydney Thunder 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. SYS vs SYT Match Prediction & Analysis Get ready for a big one on Friday as the Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder go head-to-head at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Match 37 of the 2024-25 BBL season. While both Sydney teams have already punched their ticket to the BBL|14 finals, this match carries extra weight – the winners will secure a top-two finish and earn themselves a safety net in the playoffs. With so much on the line, you can bet both the Sixers and the Thunder will be bringing their A-game. TEAMS PREVIEW Sydney Sixers Preview Sydney Sixers have surged back to the top of the standings following two consecutive victories, capped by a thrilling chase of 183 against the Adelaide Strikers, with just one ball to spare. Steven Smith’s comeback has given the Sixers a real lift. He blasted an unbeaten 121 off just 64 balls against the Scorchers in his first appearance this season and backed that up with a strong half-century facing the Strikers. This will be Smith’s final game for the Sixers before he departs for the Sri Lanka tour. Beyond Smith, expect runs from Josh Philippe and Moises Henriques, who’ve both been reliable run-getters this season. Sydney Thunder Preview The Thunder clinched their spot in the BBL|14 finals with a commanding victory over the Scorchers at home on Monday night. It’s a major shift from last season, when they ended up dead last with just a single victory. Sam Konstas continued his good form, grinding out a fifty on a tough pitch that was favoring spin. The Thunder’s spinners then made quick work of Perth, limiting them to just 97 runs. The win pumped up their net run rate, setting the stage for a massive Sydney Smash at the SCG on Friday. The Thunder have stayed near the top of the standings all season, even with a string of injuries plaguing the squad. As many as six players from their initial roster of 18 have missed time. David Warner’s steady hand and run-scoring (324 in 8 innings) have been a huge part of that success. Another player to watch is Sam Billings, who is in great form, accumulating 185 runs in 8 innings at a strike rate of 136. Weather Conditions The Sydney Cricket Ground typically presents a batting-friendly pitch, but it also offers spinners a chance to make an impact as the match unfolds. The ball tends to come onto the bat well, encouraging aggressive play, particularly in the evening. Fast bowlers who bowl with pace can generate additional bounce, but they must be clever with their variations to succeed. The weather in Sydney has been a problem this week. It has rained a fair amount and Saturday’s weather outlook is equally grim. There is a good chance of cloud cover, breezes, and potential thunderstorms that could easily disrupt the action. SYS vs SYT Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Sydney Cricket Ground in domestic T20s is 158. The highest total posted at the venue in the Big Bash League is Sydney Sixers’ colossal 213-4 versus Perth Scorchers earlier this season, a game they won by 14 runs. Toss: To Bowl There is a forecast of showers in Sydney on Friday, which will likely push both captains to field first in this game.

Paarl Royals vs MI Cape Town, SA20, Today Match Prediction

Vann Hiso7 days ago7 days ago06 mins

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Paarl Royals vs MI Cape Town 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 15 ,Wednesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 21:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Eurolux Boland Park, Paarl, South Africa𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : SA20 League, 2025 It’s top versus next to bottom yet they could both be on the same number of points when this game is concluded by Wednesday evening! Paarl Royals vs MI Cape Town 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. PR vs MICT Match Prediction & Analysis The games come thick and fast in T20 franchise tournaments and the SA20 is no different. Even though it feels like the competition began only a couple of days ago, this will be match nine with all five teams, apart from last year’s champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape, already having a win on the board. Although MI Cape Town currently lead the way and will put daylight between themselves and the chasing pack with another victory in this game, all of Joburg Super Kings, Pretoria Capitals, Durban’s Super Giants and Paarl Royals are hot on their heels. TEAMS PREVIEW Paarl Royals Preview Although Paarl Royals enjoyed a brilliant opening game victory over the 2024 SA20 champions, they were very much brought straight back down to earth by MI Cape Town at Newlands on Monday when they were beaten by 33 runs. But what will any coach or team manager want after a defeat? That’s right, the opportunity to right the wrongs immediately – and that’s exactly what the Royals will have the chance to do in this match when they come up against MI Cape Town once again. The performance was not a completely poor one and the bowling attack saw all five members pick up at least one wicket although it was only Bjorn Fortuin and Dayyaan Galiem who kept their economy rates at impressive levels. MI Cape Town Preview Taking on the same bowling attack as in match six, MI Cape Town’s Rassie van der Dussen and Reeza Hendricks who put on 79 runs for the second wicket partnership will be licking their lips! Ryan Rickelton missed out at the top of the order but the keeper-batter has an exceptional T20 record, particularly in South Africa, and he could well make up for it in this game. Then there is also the small matter of Colin Ingram at number four, not to mention Dewald Brevis at six, and plenty of other strong batting all-rounders in their line-up. With the ball, Delano Potgieter looks to be their weak link in an attack which has the left-arm pace of Trent Boult, which combines nicely with Kagiso Rabada’s right arm fireworks, not to mention the spin of Rashid Khan and George Linde! Weather Conditions There was rain at Boland Park on Tuesday but according to the forecasters Wednesday afternoon and early evening does not even have a threat of a downpour. The sun will be out with the temperature in the mid-twenties from start to finish. PR vs MICT Pitch Report Only six wickets fell in match three between Paarl Royals and Sunrisers Eastern Cape at Boland Park on the weekend and we expect the bowlers to have to work hard for their wickets once again in this game. Equally, a par score is unlikely to be any higher than 185. Toss: To Bowl Paarl Royals had no problem defeating Sunrisers Eastern Cape by fielding first in match three of the tournament so we predict that both captains will choose to bowl first if they win the toss ahead of this game.

Brisbane Heat vs Hobart Hurricanes, BBLT20, Today Match Prediction

Vann Hiso7 days ago7 days ago06 mins

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Brisbane Heat vs Hobart Hurricanes 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 16 ,Thursday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:00 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : The Gabba, Woolloongabba, Australia𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Big Bash League, 2024-25 Can Hurricanes carry their momentum to Brisbane? Brisbane Heat vs Hobart Hurricanes 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. BH vs HBH Match Prediction & Analysis Brisbane Heat are at number 5 in the points table with 3 wins from 8 matches and desperately need a win to stay alive in the race to playoffs. They’ve won 2 of their 4 games at The Gabba. In their last outing here, BRH successfully chased down 174 runs. Colin Munro will expect his bowlers to bounce back in this match after their poor performance in Adelaide in the recent loss. Hobart Hurricanes have won 6 matches on the trot after they lost their opening game. The Hurricanes are in sublime form and will pose a threat to Brisbane’s playoff hopes. TEAMS PREVIEW Brisbane Heat Preview Colin Munro will be under pressure both as a skipper and as a batter. He came in at number 7 in the last match while chasing a massive target of 252 against the Strikers and was out for a duck. He struggled with his strike rate in the previous game at their home ground in Brisbane scoring just 23 off 25 balls while opening the innings. Matt Renshaw and Max Bryant led the Heat to victory in that game. The two have been in great form and have made consistent contributions in the middle order. Nathan McSweeney also looked in good shape in the last match at number 3 and is a key batsman to watch out for. Hobart Hurricanes Preview Hobart Hurricanes will be looking for their 7th straight win as they take on the Heat in Brisbane. The variety in the bowling attack has allowed Hobart to stay on top of the game while bowling first in each of their last three outings. They restricted the opposition to 154, 164, and 186 in their last 3 matches. The bowling returns have improved with every game. Riley Meredith and Billy Stanlake will spearhead the Hurricanes’ pace attack. They’ve also got the experienced Chris Jordan in the squad while being led by a fast-bowling captain in Nathan Ellis. Then there are some promising spinners like Nikhil Chowdhury and Peter Hatzoglou. Weather Conditions It will be clear and sunny in Brisbane on the match day with a high of 35 degrees Celsius. Though there will be rain on the days before the match, we expect clear skies on the match day and a complete and uninterrupted game. BH vs HBH Pitch Report The pitch is known for its pace and bounce and will help the pacers. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 T20s here is 161 runs. And since the highest successful run chase here was 175 runs, we believe a match-winning total should be something over 180-185 runs. Toss: To Bowl Teams bowling first have won all the 4 matches played here so far this season. Hurricanes have been successful while chasing a target in their recent matches while Heat also won their last home game while batting second. Both teams will be looking to bowl first in this match.

Adelaide Strikers vs Sydney Sixers, BBLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Adelaide Strikers vs Sydney Sixers 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 15 ,Wednesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:00 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Adelaide Oval, North Adelaide, Australia 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Big Bash League, 2024-25 Sydney Sixers aim for the top spot in the points table Adelaide Strikers 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. ADS vs SYS Match Prediction & Analysis Adelaide Strikers will take on Sydney Sixers in their last home game of the season. With just two more games left in their league stage campaign, the Strikers must win both these matches to have a good chance of making the playoffs. Sydney Sixers, on the other hand, will be aiming for the top spot. They seemed to have lost their way with two consecutive losses but the recent win has put them back on the winning track. Sixers had desperately needed that comeback with the bat. They will be taking on an in-form Adelaide batting lineup that recently scored 251 on this ground. Steven Smith’s 121 off 64 balls was the highlight of the Sixers’ recent win at the SCG. TEAMS PREVIEW Adelaide Strikers Preview Matthew Short came into the side in the last match, taking over the captaincy from Alex Ross, and led the Strikers to their second home win. Short scored a brilliant hundred at the top and was part of the 121-run opening stand with Chris Lynn. This is great news for the Strikers. Lynn has been in great form this season, scoring consistently as the opener for the side. However, Short joining him at the top with a brilliant game-changing knock will boost Adelaide’s hopes and confidence. Alex Ross has also been in fine touch at number 5 and is a key player to watch out for. He can lead a great finish for the Strikers along with Jamie Overton in the lower order. Though there has been some inconsistency in the middle order and we’ve seen many changes to the batting lineup, Alex Carey and Ollie Pope are quite experienced players with a lot of skill and we expect them to find their rhythm soon. Sydney Sixers Preview Sydney Sixers will be confident after their recent win. Before this win, they were struggling with the bat and failed to chase down 157 and 162-run targets in their previous two outings. While Steve Smith led the batting effort in the last game, what the Sixers need at the moment is a comeback from Josh Philippe and Kurtis Patterson in the top 3. These two batters have struggled to get going since the last 3 consecutive matches. Their lack of form can hurt the Sydney Sixers big time. This will also put a lot of pressure on Steve Smith if he continues to feature in the XI. Skipper Moises Henriques is a key batsman in the middle order. He has a big role to play at number 4. He was in fine touch in the recent outing and will be hoping to carry the momentum into this game. Ben Dwarshuis batted ahead of Jordan Silk and Jack Edwards in the last game and scored an unbeaten 23 off 7 balls. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy in Adelaide on the match day with a high of 21 degrees Celsius. There are no signs of rain, however, and we can expect a complete T20 match at one of the best venues in Australia. ADS vs SYS Pitch Report It is a balanced wicket that has assisted the bowlers on many occasions in the past. This season we saw a couple of high-scoring games and the pitch has looked much better for batting than previous seasons. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 T20s played here is 178 runs. The highest total successfully chased on this ground in recent times is 179 runs. We reckon anything over 185 would be a competitive total in this game. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first have won 4 of the last 5 matches in BBL 2024-25 at this venue in Adelaide. Both teams have an in-form batting lineup and can post a highly competitive total on this ground.

India Women vs Ireland Women, IND-W vs IRE-W 2025, Today Match Prediction

Vann Hiso1 week ago7 days ago07 mins

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India Women vs Ireland Women 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 15 ,Wednesday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 11:00 AM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Niranjan Shah Stadium, Rajkot, India𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd ODI 2025 India Women vs Ireland Women India Women vs Ireland 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 IREW Match Prediction & Analysis It is the third and final game in the three-match series. India Women have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series after winning the 2nd game by 116 runs. It was a dominating show from the hosts as they outbatted the Irish side, and they will look to repeat a similar show. Ireland Women have struggled in the series, and they will look to end it with a win. The Indians have enjoyed a good record at home in the last 12 months. The team has won the last six home games, making them confident. Ireland Women have a poor record against India, with no wins to celebrate. Their performance on this tour has been poor, and it will be interesting to see if the visitors can surprise the Indians with a better performance. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview Smriti Mandhana and her players performed stellarly in the last game. In one of the best batting performances by the Indian team, they put up 370 runs on the board, a new record for the team. They have dominated the visitors in both games, and Mandhana expects a strong show from her players as they aim for a clean sweep. Pratika Rawal and Smriti Mandhana put up a 156-run stand in the last game, and the pair will look to deliver a good start. Jemimah Rodrigues will be confident after her brilliant hundred in the last game and shall look to add runs in the middle order with Harleen Deol and Tejal Hasabnis. Sayali Satghare and Richa Ghosh will look to add quick runs in the lower middle order. Ireland Preview Gaby Lewis and her team faced a slaughter in the last game. The bowling attack struggled to compete against the Indian onslaught, and despite the strong show from the batting lineup, the side lost by a big margin. They have found these conditions tough, and Lewis would like her players to fight hard in this game and win it. Gaby Lewis and Sarah Forbes must do well at the top, as India’s pacers have used the conditions well in both games. Coulter Reilly played a good knock in the last game, and she must build partnerships with Orla Prendergast and Laura Delany in the middle order. The side will also need contributions from Leah Paul and Arlene Kelly in the final overs. The bowling attack must overcome the poor show in the last game. Ava Canning and Orla Prendergast will look to strike early, as India’s openers have been in superb form. Freya Sargent and Arlene Kelly struggled in the last game and will look forward to doing well. Georgina Dempsey and Alana Dalzell will look to do well in the supporting roles. Weather Conditions Rajkot will have clear skies, and we expect a warm afternoon. The wicket is flat, and the ball comes onto the bat nicely, allowing batters to play their strokes. Spinners have done well on this track, and the team batting first will need more than 280 runs to feel safe. IND-W vs IREW Pitch Report Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot, is a large ground. The flat wicket and the fast outfield allow the batters to free their arms and score quickly. There is assistance for the fast bowlers early in the game. Spinners do well at this venue when the ball gets old and starts gripping the surface. Toss: To Bat It has been an excellent surface to bat at Rajkot. The wicket got a bit slower in the second half, where the spinners did well. The team winning the toss would not hesitate to bat first on this track.

Hobart Hurricanes vs Melbourne Renegades, BBLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Hobart Hurricanes vs Melbourne Renegades𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 14 ,Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Bellerive Oval, Hobart, Australia 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Big Bash League 2025 This BBL season at the Bellerive Oval, the chasing team has won three of the four matches played so far. Hobart Hurricanes vs Melbourne Renegades 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 MLR Match Prediction & Analysis This Tuesday, Hobart Hurricanes and Melbourne Renegades will clash in Match 34 of the BBL 2024-25 at Bellerive Oval. The Hurricanes are sitting comfortably in second place with 11 points from seven games. With five victories under their belt, the Hurricanes have secured a place in the finals. Now, their focus shifts to competing with the Sydney Sixers for the top position and earning the right to host the Qualifier final on home turf. A victory for the Hurricanes over the Renegades ensures that Bellerive Oval will see at least one final next week. On the other hand, the Renegades have slipped to the bottom after their latest defeat to the Stars. While they managed to defeat the Hurricanes in their last encounter, the Hurricanes have been on a five-game winning streak since then, making them the team to watch in this contest. TEAMS PREVIEW Hobart Hurricanes Preview The Hurricanes briefly claimed the top spot following a dominant home win over the Thunder, but the Sixers edged past them again on Saturday. Even so, the Hurricanes have now won five games in a row, and the Sixers’ triumph over the Scorchers confirmed the Hurricanes’ spot in the BBL|14 finals. Their six-wicket victory against the Thunder also improved their net run rate, which might play a key role in earning them a home final as the tournament reaches its critical phase. A key factor in their success has been Tim David’s red-hot form, with back-to-back blistering half-centuries down the order helping the Hurricanes seal wins against the Thunder and Strikers. The team’s top six batters have all shown flashes of brilliance at different times, with emerging talent Mitch Owen leading the charge. Owen has racked up 202 runs in six innings, including an unbeaten 101 against the Scorchers – the standout knock of the season so far. Ben McDermott is out injured for this game and has been replaced by Jake Doran. Melbourne Renegades Preview The Renegades’ season has been a mix of highs and lows, starting strong before hitting a rough patch. They won two of their first three games, including victories against the Hurricanes and Scorchers on challenging pitches at Geelong and Marvel Stadium. However, they then suffered three consecutive losses before bouncing back with a win. Unfortunately, that 42-run defeat against the Stars in their recent game is a real setback. It’s knocked them down the rankings, and now making the playoffs looks like a long shot. As they aim to regain momentum, the Renegades will look to Tim Seifert to deliver another strong performance. With 176 runs in eight innings, Seifert is their top run-scorer and can steady the innings or produce a match-winning effort when required. Captain Will Sutherland, who has scored 163 runs in seven innings, has also provided stability and will be expected to anchor the innings. Meanwhile, all-rounder Tom Rogers’ aggressive batting in the lower order has been a valuable asset. His unbeaten 49 off 31 balls against the Perth Scorchers recently helped the Renegades chase down 148 after their top order faltered. Weather Conditions Bellerive Oval typically provides a solid batting track, especially during the early stages of the game. The pitch tends to offer good pace and bounce, giving batters the chance to play freely. While spinners might get some assistance later in the match, particularly if the surface dries out, it’s not usually a major influence. The shorter straight boundaries are an inviting prospect for power hitters. Weather could also come into play, with overcast skies potentially helping swing bowlers. As for the forecast, the match is expected to be played under mostly cloudy and cool conditions, with no rain predicted. HBH vs MLR Pitch Report The average score batting first at Bellerive Oval in domestic T20s is 167. This season’s highest score at the ground belongs to Hobart Hurricanes who smashed 187-5 in 18.4 overs to overhaul the chase against Adelaide Strikers. Toss: To Bowl Out of the four games held at Bellerive Oval this BBL season, the team chasing the target has come out on top in three. This pattern hints that batting second could give teams an edge, and it wouldn’t be surprising if both captains choose to bowl first after winning the toss.

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

Vann Hiso1 week ago1 week ago06 mins

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Australia Women vs England Women 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 14 ,Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 04:35 AM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : CitiPower Centre Junction Oval, St Kilda, Australia 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd ODI 2025 The second game of the multi-format Women’s Ashes series sees Australia look to make it two wins from two in Tuesday’s ODI in Melbourne. Australia Women vs England 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. AUSW vs ENGW Match Prediction & Analysis Although Australia won the opening game of the multi-format series with 67 balls remaining, it was far from a smooth journey over the finish line from the hosts who kept on losing wickets to give England a bit of hope before eventually sealing the win! The hosts also had the advantage of winning the toss in the series opener and that will give England plenty of hope that just calling correctly or generating a little bit extra with bat or ball could be the difference between 4-0 or 2-2 (points). TEAMS PREVIEW Australia Preview Across their dominance of women’s cricket covering the last two decades, it has been in WODIs that they have been their strongest and Australia Women will travel to Melbourne confident of adding another two points to their tally in the multi-format series. With the ball, it was Ashleigh Gardner who stood out on Sunday, taking 3/19 but there were also fine performances from Kim Garth (2/46), Annabel Sutherland (2/42) and Alana King (2/35). Darcie Brown also chipped in with a wicket but don’t be surprised if the experienced Megan Schutt strikes with the new ball this time around after taking 0/38 from seven overs in Sydney. England Preview There was plenty of bullish talk from the England Women squad ahead of the opening game of this multi-format series and although they were beaten there were plenty of positives, particularly with the ball, to take away from Sydney. Unsurprisingly, left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone returned the best figures of the side and she is likely to be their most accurate and dangerous bowler once again in Melbourne. The question is, can the likes of Lauren Bell, Lauren Filer and Nat Sciver-Brunt back her up and tie the Australia Women batters down. With the bat, captain Heather Knight hit her 4000th WODI run in England’s total of 204 all out but she will be looking at herself in the mirror, along with the likes of Danni Wyatt-Hodge and keeper-batter Amy Jones who all reached 30 but could not kick on in Sydney. Weather Conditions According to the forecast, the players may not even see a cloud in the sky in Melbourne on Tuesday. The temperature is expected to reach 28 degrees and will be above 22 from midday onwards. AUSW vs ENGW Pitch Report The Junction Oval always offers a little more for the spinners than many other Australian venues and we expect this to be the case on Tuesday. That said, whoever bats first will be looking to post a score of 260+ to be competitive. Toss: To Bowl The conditions are unlikely to change much across Tuesday’s game in Melbourne and it will be warm and sunny throughout. The pitch will remain true from start to finish so we predict that both sides will want to bowl first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : MI Emirates vs Dubai Capitals 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 13 ,Monday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 20:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : International League T20, 2025 MI Emirates’ batting challenge against Dubai Capitals Sydney Thunder 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. MIE vs DC Match Prediction & Analysis It was a thrilling start to the International League T20, 2025, where the Dubai Capitals defeated the defending champions, MI Emirates, in the 1st game by 1 run in a thrilling contest. The 4th game of the tournament would see the two sides battle again, and we expect a close contest as some of the best players take on each other. The Dubai Capitals have enjoyed an excellent record against the MI Emirates. They have won five out of six games between the two teams in the last three seasons. Dubai Capitals have a strong batting lineup, and they will look to capitalize on that. The MI Emirates’ top order struggled in the last game, and it will be interesting to see if they can make a strong comeback. TEAMS PREVIEW MI Emirates Preview Nicholas Pooran will be upset with the result in the last game. The defending champions made a mess of what should have been an easy run chase, failing to chase a target of 134. The top order failed and sowed seeds of defeat. Pooran, who played well in the last game, shall look to lead from the front and take his side to victory. Kusal Perera and Muhammad Waseem failed in the last game, and the team expects a better start from the pair. The team expects a better show in the middle order from Andre Fletcher and Tom Banton, and they will look to build partnerships with Pooran. Kieron Pollard and Akeal Hossain are good hitters and will look to add quick runs in the lower middle order. The bowling attack will look to draw inspiration from their performance in the last game. It was a good spell from Akeal Hosein and Fazalhaq Farooqi with the new ball in the last game, and they will look to do the same. Alzarri Joseph and AM Ghazanfar must keep the scoring under check as the Dubai Capitals have a strong batting lineup. Zahoor Khan and Waqar Salamkheil add teeth to the bowling attack. Dubai Capitals Preview Sikandar Raza would be pleased with the efforts of his bowlers in the last game. They successfully defended a small total on a good batting surface, holding their nerves in the final overs. The MI Emirates will come hard at them in this game, and Raza expects a better performance from his batters. Shai Hope and Adam Rossington failed to reach double digits in the last game, and the team expects a strong start from the pair. Brandon McMullen played a match-winning knock in the last game and shall look to add runs with Sikandar Raza and Rovman Powell. Dasun Shanaka and Gulbadin Naib are good hitters and add firepower to the batting lineup. Olly Stone and Obed McCoy bowled brilliantly in the last game, and the team expects a similar show from them with the new ball. Farhan Khan and Sikandar Raza struggled in the middle overs, and the team needs them to bowl better lines. Gulbadin Naib and Zahir Khan add depth to the attack. Weather Conditions There would be clear skies over Abu Dhabi. The fresh wicket will have something for the bowlers at the start, and batting conditions will be slightly challenging. The average first innings score at this venue is 162 runs, and the team batting first would like 180 runs on the board. MIE vs DC Pitch Report Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi, has large boundaries, but the outfield is fast, allowing batsmen to play their strokes. Fast bowlers find it challenging to bowl on this surface, but the spinners have done well here as they can turn the ball. Toss: To Bat In the last five games, the side chasing the score has won only once at this venue. The pitch has been tough to bat on in the second innings when it slows down. Thus, the two skippers at the toss would not have doubts about batting first.

YT vs PRS Match Prediction & Analysis Sydney Thunder are back to their home venue as they search for a win after back-to-back losses. So far, they have won one of their two matches at the Sydney Showground Stadium this season. Skipper David Warner is in great touch and has scored consistently at the top. He needs support from his opening partner. Sam Konstas opened alongside him in the last outing but couldn’t make a big impact. For the Scorchers, things haven’t been consistent in either of the departments. The batting performances have swung from one extreme to another while the bowlers continue being ineffective. It is not a very high-scoring venue here in Sydney and the bowlers will play a key role in this match. Jason Behrendorff and Andrew Tye will be the ones to watch out for in the PRS squad. TEAMS PREVIEW Sydney Thunder Preview Sydney Thunder will be hoping for a comeback as they come to their home venue for the return match against Perth Scorchers. The last time they played this opposition, SYT chased down a 178-run target with 4 wickets in hand. While Warner and Matthew Gilkes delivered a good start in the top order, it was Sherfane Rutherford’s unbeaten 39 off 19 balls knock that got Thunder across the line. There have been some issues with the batting lineup since then. Warner has single-handedly carried Thunder’s batting efforts in the last couple of outings. While Sam Billings looked in good touch in the middle-order in the last game, he couldn’t convert his start into something more impactful. Oliver Davies and Matthew Gilkes are other key players in the middle-order who are expected to step up and deliver crucial knocks. Perth Scorchers Preview Perth Scorchers are at number 5 in the points table with 3 wins from 8 matches. 3 of their 5 losses have come in the last 3 games. They will be under pressure to turn things around in this game and settle scores with SYT. It won’t be an easy outing, however, for the Scorchers. They will be up against a strong pace attack on a bowling-friendly pitch. Andrew Tye should be hoping for a quick comeback after he went wicketless in the last match and conceded 60+ runs from his 4 Overs. While Scorchers can deliver a strong bowling performance and put the hosts under pressure in this match, the main concern is their batting. They need a solid start from Finn Allen and Sam Fanning. Both looked quite impressive in the last game and though Scorchers have constantly changed Allen’s opening partner, we reckon Fanning should get another chance here. Allen is a reliable and experienced batsman at the top. Cooper Connelly and skipper Ashton Turner are the big guns in the middle-order at 4 and 5 respectively and have delivered some impactful knocks this season. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy in Sydney on the match day with a high of 24 degrees Celsius. There is a rain prediction for the afternoon, a few hours before the game kicks off. It will also be raining in Sydney for two days before the game. SYT vs PRS Pitch Report It looks like a bowling-friendly pitch with plenty of help for the pacers. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 T20 matches here is 148 runs. SYT defended 156 in their last win here while Sixers chased down 164 with the game going right down to the last ball. We reckon a 170-run total will be a match-winning score at this venue. Toss: To Bowl Teams bowling first have won 6 of the last 10 matches at this venue. It is not easy to score big on this ground and if the bowling team gets a few early wickets, they can restrict the opposition to a par score.
