πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :​​​ England vs West Indies​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : June 03,Tuesdayπ“πˆπŒπ„ : 17:30 PM IST​​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ The Oval, United Kingdom, United Kingdomπ“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : 3rd ODI 2025 A Clean Sweep Is In Sight For Brook’s England! England vs West Indies​ 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. ENG vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis After the opening game of the series was won at a canter by England in Nottingham, the series really came to life in Wales as West Indies turned up and made a real game of it! Unfortunately for the neutrals, England were still able to win, getting over the line by three wickets with seven balls remaining, but it required one of the great ODI innings from Joe Root for the hosts to secure victory and to take an unassailable 2-0 lead. And so the three game series comes to a close in South London on Tuesday where the weather forecast is far from clear and sunny! But there should be plenty of available time for both teams to bat and for a result to come about. The question is, can England win again to secure a 3-0 clean-sweep or will West Indies respond with a final game victory? TEAMS PREVIEW England Preview After such an easy win at Trent Bridge to begin the series, England were tested a lot more with both bat and ball in the second ODI at Sophia Gardens but still managed to come out on top. No doubt this will fill Brendan McCullum’s side with plenty of confidence ahead of this final match where they will be targeting a 3-0 series win. We expect England to name an unchanged XI for this game with Matthew Potts continuing in place of Jamie Overton who was ruled out of the series ahead of the second game through injury. Adil Rashid brings figures of 4/63 and Saqib Mahmood 3/37 from the Cardiff game and the bowling attack looks strong and varied. With the bat, Joe Root was at his world-class best once again in the last game and he showed that England can still win even when their two openers, Jamie Smith and Ben Duckett, not to mention keeper-batter Jos Buttler, all record ducks. West Indies Preview West Indies produced a much more polished and professional performance in Cardiff and although they once again were beaten by England, they should still take some self-belief into this final match in South London. The Kennington Oval is a venue where West Indies have had success over the years and they do at least have some players in form following the second ODI. In order to go to the next level and to secure a win, they need the likes of Brandon King to kick on from his 59 in Wales, captain Shai Hope to go bigger than his 78 and for Keacy Carty to make it four centuries from his last five ODIs! With the ball, the Men in Maroon caused England plenty of problems on Sunday, reducing them to 1/1, 2/2 and 133/5 at one stage. We can expect Alzarri Joseph, who already has six wickets in the series, to be the main danger. Weather Conditions According to the forecast, it will be cloudy and humid throughout this match at the Oval. The temperature will rise from 14 to 16 degrees across the afternoon and there will always be a slight chance of rain. ENG vs WI Pitch Report The Kennington Oval is always a fast track with plenty of bounce for the stroke-makers to enjoy. The spinners should also make use of the bounce but do not expect a great deal of turn to be on offer on a cool and humid afternoon. Toss: To Bowl The conditions are likely to be bowler friendly throuhgout the day in South London but the pitch is likely to be at its liveliest in the early overs of the game. Therefore, we predict that both captains will want to bowl first.

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :​​​ England vs West Indies 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : June 01,Sunday π“πˆπŒπ„ : 15:30 PM IST​​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom​ π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : 2nd ODI 2025 England target a series win in Cardiff! England vs West Indies 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. ENG vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis It was an excellent start to the new era for England’s ODI side on Thursday as they posted 400/8 before dismissing West Indies for 162 inside 27 overs at Edgbaston. There are two games left in the series with the final of the three-matches taking place at The Oval next Tuesday. But the next fixture takes place in Cardiff on Sunday, a venue where England have experienced plenty of success over the years since it became an international venue. West Indies were completely outplayed with both bat and ball in Birmingham and they need to show their skills in both disciplines or else the series will be over before Tuesday’s match. TEAMS PREVIEW England Preview Posting 400/8 on Thursday, England showed all of the fearlessness of their new captain Harry Brook as they romped home at Edgbaston. It will not be the same wicket in Cardiff but there is finally confidence in the England ODI side, something which wasn’t seen in any of their previous ODI matches in 2025! The top seven all made useful contributions with Jacob Bethell the standout perfoormer with 82 runs from 53 balls. Ben Duckett, Joe Root and skipper Brook all made half-centuries as well. With the ball, it was the right-arm pacers, Saqib Mahmood and Jamie Overton, who were the most potent, taking three wickets each. Spinners Bethell and Adil Rashid come into this game after taking three wickets between them in Birmingham. West Indies Preview On a day where not much went well for West Indies, the performance of Alzarri Joseph who took 2/69 was impressive. Gudakesh Motie kept his economy rate below 5.60 and Jayden Seales took four wickets but West Indies must find a way of stopping England’s batters playing in such a free-scoring manner. Matthew Forde had a day to forget at Edgbaston, sending down eight wicketless and maidenless overs and conceding 88 runs in the process! With the bat, West Indies need to deliver in Cardiff and captain Shai Hope top scored with just 25 at Edgbaston. The experience of opener Brandon King, Hope and all-rounder Roston Chase will be critical in this match or else West Indies will fall to a series defeat at the earliest opportunity. Weather Conditions This will be quite a cool day in Wales with the temperature at just 14 degrees at the start of the game and rising only to 16 by the end. It will be humid from start to finish. ENG vs WI Pitch Report Sophia Gardens has short straight boundaries which often means that spinners can be targeted. But the surface is consistent and a par score will be in the region of 375. Toss: To Bowl With cloudy conditions forecast for the start of the game, we predict that both captains will want to bowl first ahead of this second ODI in Cardiff on Sunday.

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :​​​ England vs West Indies​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 29,Thursdayβ€‹β€‹π“πˆπŒπ„ : 17:30 PM IST​​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Edgbaston, Birmingham, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom​ π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : ​1st ODI, 2025 A new era begins for England in white ball cricket and the only way is up! England vs West Indies 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. ENG vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis After England made easy work of their opening men’s international of the summer, a Test match victory over Zimbabwe by an innings, attentions turn to white ball cricket with the start of their three-match ODI series against West Indies at Edgbaston. Both sides have been very disappointing in this format over recent years with England winning only nine of their 26 ODIs from the start of the 2023 Cricket World Cup onwards and culminating in being dumped out of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy at the group stage after losing all three games. With the poor form above, it was no surprise to see Jos Buttler relinquish the captaincy and he will return to the ranks for this game, following his return from the Indian Premier League, with Harry Brook now in charge of the side. For West Indies, Shai Hope has been their leader for a couple of years in this format but the overall standard of the side has been disappointing. He will hope the iconic Edgbaston can provide the backdrop to a resurgence in ODI cricket for his side. TEAMS PREVIEW England Preview Harry Brook does have experience of leading England previously after stepping up and captaining during the series against Australia last autumn but this will be the first time that he takes on the role for good! With injuries to Mark Wood, Gus Atkinson and Reece Topley, the pace bowling attack is likely to consist of Brydon Carse, Saqib Mahmood and left-arm quick Luke Wood who returns to international cricket. There is another return to the top level for left-arm spinner Tom Hartley who is a more than handy all-rounder and has dismissed some of the world’s best players of spin. With the bat, England need to find consistency, and as ever, the quad of Ben Ducket, Joe Root, captain Brook and Jos Buttler will be key! England Predicted Playing XI: Ben Duckett, Tom Banton, Joe Root, Harry Brook (c), Jos Buttler, Jamie Smith (wk), Tom Hartley, Brydon Carse, Saqib Mahmood, Adil Rashid, Luke Wood West Indies Preview With the suspension and resumption of the Indian Premier League, West Indies will begin this series without the services of two key players in Sherfane Rutherford and Romario Shepherd who have both opted to remain in India for the playoffs. This presents keeper-batter-opener and captain Shai Hope with problems for both his bowling attack and his brittle batting line-up with both Rutherford and Shepherd capable finishers who often make a poor scorecard look respectable with lusty blows at the end of an innings! Without the pair, the experience of Hope, Evin Lewis, Brandon King and Roston Chase will be key if West Indies are to either chase down or post an imposing target against England. Bowling wise, the left-arm spin of Gudakesh Motie could well cause England’s batters problems with the pair of Jayden Seales and Alzarri Joseph both capable of running through a top order on their day. Weather Conditions Overcast skies are forecast throughout Thursday in Birmingham with the swing bowlers on both sides likely to enjoy the overheads! The temperature will be in the high teens but we do not expect any rain during the match. ENG vs WI Pitch Report When the ball gets off the square at Edgbaston it often never stops and batters love to play their shots at this venue. Expect a par score to be over 350 in the first innings of the game. Toss: To Bowl The conditions look set to be calm and consistent throughout the match in Birmingham but there could be some rain in late morning and ahead of the toss. Therefore, bowling first looks likely to be the smart move!

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :​​​ England vs Zimbabwe​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 22,Thursday​ π“πˆπŒπ„ : 15:30 PM IST​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Trent Bridge, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ :​ 1st Test 2025​ After a wait of 22 years, England and Zimbabwe meet in Test cricket once again! England vs Zimbabwe 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. ENG vs ZIM Match Prediction & Analysis Although this is the start of the England Men’s international summer, there will be a slight retro feel to the match as the hosts take on Zimbabwe in Test cricket for the first time since 2003! However, plenty has changed since that series that England easily won 2-0, not least the make-up of their bowling attack after Jimmy Anderson debuted at Lord’s 22 years ago. In fact, this Test will be only the second time in the last 18 years that England have played a home game without any of Chris Woakes, Stuart Broad or Anderson! For Zimbabwe, their fans will be delighted to see them playing in this four-day game at Trent Bridge. It’s their fifth Test of 2025 although they will be looking to improve on their record this year of three defeats and only one victory. TEAMS PREVIEW England Preview It has been five months since England last played Test cricket and the early months of this year brought nearly no joy for cricket fans in the country due to some terrible white ball performances. They were under head coach Brendan McCullum who resumes his Test role for this one-off four-day game and he will be determined to see England back to winning ways. With a home Test series against India, and an away series in Australia to come, this represents a very important year in the Bazball story! England’s batting will have bigger tests in 2025 but Zak Crawley and Ollie Pope are desperate for runs at this level whereas Joe Root will look to continue where he left off from a brilliant 2024. Zimbabwe Preview It has been a while since Zimbabwe took on one of the leading cricket nations in Test cricket and this game in Nottingham will certainly be a challenge for the tourists! However, they have plenty of experienced players to turn to with Northamptonshire’s Ben Curran, brother of England internationals Sam and Tom, set to play his sixth Test at the top of the order, with captain Craig Ervine, Sikandar Raza and Sean Williams well heeled in this format. Williams will be key, with a Test average of 44+ and with half centuries in his last three red ball appearances, if he can blunt England’s inexperienced attack then Zimbabwe could start to dream of an upset. With the ball, Raza will be the main spin option with the pace duo of Blessing Muzarabani and Richard Ngarava having the skills to cause England’s batters problems at a venue where the ball will move laterally. Weather Conditions The temperature will be no higher than 14 degrees in Nottingham on Thursday before getting up into the high teens on Friday and Saturday then dropping to 17 on Sunday. There could also be some rain about on Sunday. ENG vs ZIM Pitch Report This is an excellent Test match venue where the new ball often moves around a lot under cloudy skies. However, it’s also a very consistent and true batting surface and a par score will be 300-330 in the first innings. Toss: To Bowl It is set to be chilly on Thursday with plenty of cloud cover so we predict that both captains will not be able to resist the temptation to insert the opposition and try to take early wickets!

South Africa 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. RSA vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis This game will bring the curtain down on Group B of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy and we already know that whatever the result, England will not be celebrating as they will be going home. South Africa, on the other hand, could be celebrating winning the group but they will know exactly what is required to do so ahead of the match with Australia and Afghanistan going head to head 24 hours earlier. England have been on a downward spiral in white ball cricket for many years and they look a shadow of their former selves who won the 2019 Cricket World Cup. They also have a poor record in Asia in this format! TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview There could be a change for South Africa ahead of this game with Heinrich Klaasen likely to be available again after a minor injury ruled him out of the opener against Afghanistan. Although Klaasen is usually a finisher in white ball cricket, his best route back into the team may well be as Tony de Zorzi’s replacement at the top of the order. That’s because of the form of Ryan Rickelton, Temba Bavuma, Rassie van der Dussen and Aiden Markram. David Miller made only 14 runs from 18 balls but his place in the middle order is certainly secure. With the ball, Kagiso Rabada has a fine record against England and is very consistent in this format. We also expect Marco Jansen to cause problems with his height and left-arm angle. South Africa Predicted Playing XI: Ryan Rickelton (wk), Heinrich Klaasen, Temba Bavuma (c), Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Wiaan Mulder, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi England Preview After coming into the tournament talking a good game and telling anyone who would listen that they had a chance of winning the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, it has turned out to not be the case and England will be heading home immediately after this game. England have performed well with the bat and have seen both Ben Duckett and Joe Root post centuries during the competition. But the likes of Phil Salt, Jamie Smith, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler and Liam Livingstone have failed to make an impact so they will all be keen to sign off with a score. Weather Conditions It is set to be another warm and sunny day in Karachi with the temperature up at 28 degrees for the majority of the game. Even after dark, humidity levels are unlikely to go above 50%. RSA vs ENG Pitch Report This is a good batting wicket with both New Zealand and South Africa showing the value of batting first in this tournament. That said, we still expect some assistance for the pace bowlers during the powerplays. Toss: To Bat Both games here in Karachi during the ICC Champions Trophy have been won by the teams batting first so we predict that both sides will want to bat first again in this game.

Afghanistan 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. AFG vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis One of the great features of the ICC Champions Trophy is that teams do not have to wait long for their next fixture but lose a couple in a row and you are more than likely to be heading home! That will be in the minds of both the Afghanistan and England players ahead of this match after they were beaten by South Africa and Australia on Friday and Saturday respectively. Although both suffered losses, Afghanistan were the least competitive, seemingly heading for defeat from the end of the first over, whereas England did at least post 350 in the first innings but still saw Australia knock the runs off with 15 balls to spare. TEAMS PREVIEW Afghanistan Preview There are plenty of areas for improvement for Afghanistan ahead of this game with only batter Rahmat Shah and bowling all-rounder Mohammad Nabi able to hold their heads up high after the performance against South Africa. The losing margin was 107 runs but it would certainly have been a lot wider if Nabi had not taken 2/51, while being the most economical of the bowling attack, and Rahmat had not struck 90 of Afghanistan’s 208 all out. Fortunately for Jonathan Trott’s side, there are plenty of accomplished players in this team and he will be looking at the opening pair of Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran at the top of the order with Rashid Khan’s spin a big threat along that of Nabi’s. England Preview There will be one forced change for England ahead of this game as Brydon Carse will miss the rest of the tournament and has been replaced in the squad by spinner Rehan Ahmed. Unfortunately for the latter though, he is not expected to arrive in Lahore until after this game has begun so it is thought that Jamie Overton will come in as a like for like replacement. Although England fell to another ODI defeat, and another in Asia at that, there were two major positives with the bat as Ben Duckett struck his career best 165 from 143 balls and Joe Root played the anchor role with 68 runs from 78 balls. England need a score from captain Jos Buttler and he will be looking to end a torrid run of returns against Afghanistan, With the ball, all of the six man bowling attack, bar Joe Root, took a wicket against Australia and Buttler looks likely to be very reliant on the accuracy of Adil Rashid once again. Weather Conditions No rain is forecast during the match on Wednesday but it will be a predominantly cloudy day-night fixture. Humidity will also come into consideration with dew likely to be a factor during the final 20 overs. AFG vs ENG Pitch Report Both England and Australia showed that this is a good batting wicket on Saturday and we expect whoever bats first to be looking to post a score of at least 330 on this pitch. Toss: To Bowl Teams chasing have had the most success across recent ODIs in Lahore so we predict that both captains will choose to bowl first should they win the toss ahead of the game.

Australia 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. AUS vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis Whenever Australia and England go head to head in any sport, there is plenty at stake and this game will be no different as both look to get off to a winning start in Group B of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy. There is an Ashes series on the horizon for late in the year but all focus will be on this clash in Lahore as both sides look to put poor recent ODI performances and poor ICC Champions Trophy showing behind them. Australia may have won the last Cricket World Cup but they are without their top three pace bowlers in Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood so their attack may lack some of it’s usual potency. TEAMS PREVIEW Australia Preview After dominating the Test series and winning 2-0, the boot was on the other foot in the ODI series as Australia were beaten 2-0 without putting up a fight on their recent tour to Sri Lanka. As a result, Steven Smith’s side must raise their game ahead of this clash even if their opponents are also in disappointing form. For a proud cricketing nation like Australia, their recent record in the ICC Champions Trophy, where they haven’t won a game since 2009, make for painful reading, so they will be looking to their experienced heads to get them through this opener. Top of that list will be Travis Head who has an exceptional ODI record against England and captain Smith who has hit over 17,000 international runs. England Preview England have been a very disappointing ODI side since they won the 2019 Cricket World Cup courtesy of the now famous Super-Over against New Zealand at Lord’s. But with Brendan McCullum leading the side, hopes are high that they could find some form from nowhere and dominate this tournament with an aggressive batting style. Key to the team will be opener Ben Duckett who has just recovered from an injury but has an excellent record in this format, particularly against Australia. Phil Salt will take on the role of ‘pinch hitter’ and will look to clear the boundary at every opportunity in the powerplay. With the ball, Adil Rashid has a strong record against Australia and the pace of Jofra Archer is always a point of difference across any format, particularly when he is fully fit. Weather Conditions The forecast is for pleasant weather in Lahore throughout Saturday with the temperature up at 22 degrees from the first ball. Although this is a day-nighter, the temperature will not drop below 19 degrees.  AUS vs ENG Pitch Report As seen in the recently completed Pakistan Tri-Nation Series, this is a good batting wicket with players generally finding it easy to score runs at a steady pace outside of the powerplay. A par score will be around 350. Toss: To Bat There is an even spread of victories for teams batting first and bowling first in recent 50-over internationals at the Gaddafi Stadium. Humidity levels will increase in the second half of the game so we predict that both sides will want to bat first on Saturday.

India vs England TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. IND vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis India made it another four wicket win to lead this ODI series 2-0 with just this remaining game in Ahmedabad to go. For the hosts, the series has already been an excellent exercise as they ramp up their preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy later this month, whereas for England, this tour has been something of a disaster, losing six of the seven matches across T20Is and ODIs. Ahmedabad is a city where India have an excellent record across all formats and England have also struggled at the venue so it could well be another triumph for the hosts on Wednesday! Both teams do have form players with India’s captain Rohit Sharma along with Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja impressing. For England, only really Ben Duckett and Joe Root can be said to be playing anywhere near their top level. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview After winning the series opener by four wickets and with 68 balls remaining in Nagpur, India opted to make two changes for the second ODI with Virat Kohli returning alongside spinner Varun Chakravarthy who made his ODI debut. Jashasvi Jaiswal, who himself had debuted in the opener, missed out along with left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav. Those changes show just how much depth India have in this format and it was no surprise to see them beat England again, with the result not looking in doubt throughout the entirety of the chase! Expect the likes of Kohli, Harduk Padya and KL Rahul to be pushed up the order a little in this game to give them as much opportunity as possible to maximise time in the middle ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy. Harshit Rana and Mohammed Shami are both likely to play again as they look to build up their fitness ahead of the tournament. England Preview England’s torrid tour of India will conclude after this game and coach Brendan McCullum will be hoping that he can inspire his charges to the second win of the trip! He should have a strengthened side for this game with pace bowler Jofra Archer coming back after being rested in Cuttack and keeper-batter Jamie Smith now fully fit after a calf issue had sidelined him over the previous ten days. There are some positives for England with all of the top six making scores between 26 and 69 on Sunday, including Ben Duckett and Joe Root making half-centuries. They really need someone to kick on in this ODI though and help their bowlers who have struggled to keep the lid on India’s run-scoring when chasing. Adil Rashid has been consistent, as has Jamie Overton but England will be hoping that the duo of Mark Wood and Jofra Archer can really cause problems with pace in Ahmedabad. Weather Conditions According to the forecast, this game will start with the temperature at 28 degrees, and in spite of being a day-nighter, also finish with the same temperature. In the meantime it will get as high as 32 degrees on a day which will be cloudless. IND vs ENG Pitch Report The Narendra Modi Stadium has been a spinners paradise in some Test matches previously but in ODIs and T20s it tends to be an excellent surface for batting on. As a result, we expect to see a strong batting surface with a par score of 350+. Toss: To Bowl England have lost both games in the series after winning the toss and choosing to bat first. Therefore, we predict that whoever wins the toss ahead of this ODI will elect to bowl first.

India vs England TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. IND vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis This is turning into a very disappointing tour of India for England and was certainly not what Test head coach Brendan McCullum had in mind when he added the white ball side to his brief at the start of this year! Since arriving in India, England have won one and lost five games across five T20Is and one ODI and apart from getting on top towards the end of the powerplay in the first innings, seemed to be forever playing catch-up in the first game of this series on Thursday. India on the other hand were able to canter home with 68 balls remaining in spite of being without star batter Virat Kohli who was not risked due to a slight injury to his right knee. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview It was a fine team performance from India in Nagpur to get this three match series underway with only Hardik Pandya going wicketless from the six-man bowling unit. He made up for that by being in the middle for the winning runs and although there will be disappointment from captain Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul who were both dismissed for only two runs, India look like a team who will take some stopping in this year’s ICC Champions Trophy. Shubman Gill top scored with 87 runs from 96 balls and was well supported by Shreyas Iyer (59 runs from 36 balls) and Axar Patel (52 runs from 47 balls) in a slightly re-shuffled batting order which saw Ravindra Jadeja come in at number eight, such is the batting depth in the side. England Preview Ahead of the start of the series, it was announced that Jofra Archer would play in only two of the three games but that could now change as England will certainly want him available for this match and if the series is still alive after the fixture then they may well risk him for the decider! The right-arm pacer dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal and returned good figures of 1/39 from seven overs but it was his fellow opening bowler Saqib Mahmood and Adil Rashid who were the leading wicket takers with two dismissals each. Brydon Carse may find his place under threat if he doesn’t perform in this game though as he was far and away the most expensive with his five overs costing 52 runs. Weather Conditions According to the forecast, the temperature will be at 27 degrees at the start of this ODI before jumping up to 30 degrees in the mid-afternoon. When the floodlights kick in, the temperature will still be in the mid twenties! IND vs ENG Pitch Report This has always been a good batting wicket in Cuttack and we predict that both teams should be able to post strong totals. A par score batting first in this game will be in the region of 320. Toss: To Bowl Four of the last six ODIs in Cuttack have been won by the team chasing and England have also had most of their recent success in this format when bowling first. Therefore, we predict that both sides will choose to chase if they win the toss.

India vs England TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. IND vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis England have been successful in troubling the hosts with the ball. The visitors picked up 8 wickets in the 2nd T20I while defending 166 runs in Chennai. They finally managed to gain the upper hand as they defended 171 runs in Rajkot beating India by 26 runs. Adil Rashid weaved magic in the middle-over with his right-arm leg break. Suryakumar Yadav and co. have some thinking to do. They were staring at loss in Chennai too. If it wasn’t for Tilak Verma’s unbeaten 72 off 55 balls, England would have achieved parity much sooner. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview India have a great depth in the batting lineup. And that allows the top-order batsmen to play a fearless brand of cricket. Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, and Suryakumar Yadav are all known for their attacking approach to the game. Samson’s lack of runs is a big concern for India going ahead. Abhishek Sharma, on the other hand, is struggling to convert his starts into a longer knock. He can make a huge impact on the game even if he stays at the crease for the first 4-5 Overs of the game. Suryakumar Yadav coming in at number 3 may not be a great idea. Tilak Verma fits the bill for number 3. He can adjust his strokeplay and pace the innings according to the situation of the game. England Preview Jos Buttler will be delighted with his team’s comeback in the 3rd T20I. He will back his players to carry the momentum into this game to achieve series parity. Mark Wood, Brydon Carse, and Jofra Archer looked promising with the ball. Despite what their economy rates suggest, they were quite successful in delivering breakthroughs that changed the course of the game. Jamie Overton and Adil Rashid were the stars of the match. Rashid’s 1 for 15 from his 4 Overs helped squeeze the flow of runs during the middle over of India’s run-chase. The right-arm leggie had delivered figures of 1 for 14 in the previous game in Chennai. The best way forward for England will be to back their strengths. They’ve got a strong pace attack. The visitors should be aiming at beating Indian batters with pace while Rashid continues doing his job in the middle overs. In the batting lineup, Ben Duckett seems to have found his form at the top. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy in Pune with a high of 32 degrees Celsius. Though a few days are expected to be cloudy this week in the city, there are no signs of rain and we can expect an uninterrupted game of cricket between these two sides. IND vs ENG Pitch Report It is a balanced wicket where both batters and bowlers can find some help. The highest score successfully chased at this venue was 158 runs by India against England back in 2012. In 2023, Sri Lanka recorded the highest total by any team at this venue when they scored 206 runs batting first against India. The average 1st innings score in the 4 T20Is played here is 166 runs. We reckon anything over 180-185 will be a competitive total at this venue. Toss: To Bowl Teams bowling first have won 6 of the last 10 T20 matches played at this venue in Pune. Though the recent matches have been qutie low-scoring, the venue has witnessed high-scoring encounters in the past. Both teams have a deep batting lineup that features some of the big stars in T20 cricket. They will back themselves to chase down a target.
