𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :Sri Lanka Women vs West Indies Women 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 15, Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:00 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ Icc Womens T20 World Cup 2024 England Women will look to make it four wins from four when they take on West Indies Women on Tuesday. England Women vs West Indies Women TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. ENGW vs WIW Match Prediction & Analysis So far in this tournament, England Women are up there with Australia Women in terms of playing the most consistent cricket and picking up wins in all of their games. This will not be an easy game for Heather Knight’s side but after seeing off the challenge of South Africa Women earlier in the competition they are already well-tuned to taking on strong sides. For West Indies Women, they have shown signs of having a talented squad who could go to the last four of this tournament and a victory in this game will really make the pundits take a step back and look at them more closely. TEAMS PREVIEW England Preview England Women made easy work of their local rivals Scotland Women on Sunday evening in Sharjah as they brushed them aside to win by 10 wickets with 60 balls remaining and to regain control of Group B. West Indies Preview For a team who have been so over-reliant on the likes of captain Hayley Matthews, Stafanie Taylor and Deandra Dottin over the last decade, it will have been heartening for the team management and fans of West Indies Women to see Karishma Ramharack take the Player of the Match Award in their strong victory over Bangladesh Women.  This was only a game after opening bowler Chinelle Henry took the Player of the Match Award in the win over Scotland Women but with another positive result required against England Women, we expect the big guns to put in big performances! Weather Conditions According to the forecast it will be another warm evening in Dubai with humidity levels no higher than 55%. There will be clear skies throughout with the temperature comfortably in the mid-low thirties from start to finish. ENGW vs WIW Pitch Report There is plenty of pace in this wicket in Dubai and it will be interesting to see how England Women cope with the change in surface after playing all three of their previous games in Sharjah. Our prediction is for a high scoring clash in Dubai although no doubt the top quality spinners on both sides will have a key role to play. Toss: To Bowl With four of the six games played at this venue in this tournament won by the team fielding first, it would be quite the risk taken by either skipper if they won the toss and chose to bat first! As a result, we predict that both captains will elect to field first if they call correctly at the toss.

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.

    𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : England vs New Zealand Women’s𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 01, Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : ICC Global Cricket Academy Ground No 2, Dubai, United Arab Emirates𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : IWTWCWM 2024 Can England women bring up their tenth victory over New Zealand women this year? Or will the kiwis follow up their victory over SA with another stellar performance and get into the World Cup arena with their tails up? England 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. ENGW vs NZW Match Prediction & Analysis Familiar foes England women take on New Zealand women in an unfamiliar setting for their second warmup fixture at Dubai as both teams look to rotate a few players, work out a few possible combinations in a bid to arrive at their best XI going into the T20 world cup. Having met ten times just this year, England and New Zealand are no strangers to each other. It doesn’t you’re your confidence going down to an opposition in as many matches as the White Ferns have this year. It gets you down mentally, but the Kiwi women will be hoping for a fresh start. It’s the World T20 and any team can beat any other on their day after all. Both teams played a warmup fixture before this match with English women losing to Australia and New Zealand wrapping up an emphatic win against last edition’s runners-up South Africa. TEAMS PREVIEW England Preview England’s warm up fixture against current champs didn’t go to plan. Nat Sciver Brunt and Lauren Bell let the Aussie openers get away with a good start, but both of them struck once in a space of 12 balls to put England in front. The spinners Charlie Dean, Sophie Ecclestone and Sarah Glenn couldn’t find a way to tie down the batters on a wicket that wasn’t doing much. Dean also spilled a chance of the dangerous Mooney, but thankfully for England that reprieve didn’t cost them dearly.  New Zealand Preview New Zealand got their world cup prep up and running with a morale-boosting win over last edition’s runners-up South Africa. The Kiwis put on an excellent show earlier on with the ball to skittle out the South African side for 92 and wrapped up the chase later on with 34 balls remaining, completing a clinical victory. Spinner Eden Carson put New Zealand in the driving seat with two wickets from the first over. Weather Conditions The pitch was a little up and down early on in the first fixture between India and West Indies, making scoring runs in the powerplay difficult. However, it got better as the match progressed. On tracks like this, it’s important that you see off the new ball threat, get your eyes in and work towards building a platform for the incoming batters to cash in on. Quality spin will be more than handy on this pitch, and both teams have some exciting spinners in their roster. Any total around 140 should be par. Weather-wise, things are looking good and there’s no rain threat. ENGW vs NZW Pitch Report The match will be played at the ICC Academy Ground No 2 in Dubai, UAE. Toss: To Bowl Both the captains preferred to field first after winning the toss in the last match. New Zealand followed through that decision with outstanding bowling, while England couldn’t. Considering India won their encounter against West Indies here after they were sent into bat first, we reckon that the toss winning captain would most likely opt to have a bat first in this match.

ENG vs AUS Match Prediction & Analysis England humbled the visitors in the 4th ODI at Lord’s. They not only outplayed the Australians with the bat but were brutal with their bowling attack as well. Skipper Harry Brook is in fine touch in the middle order and is leading the batting lineup quite well. Australia, with some of the biggest stars in one-day international cricket, were underwhelming in their performances. The pace trio of Hazlewood, Starc, and Abbott failed to put the hosts under pressure. TEAMS PREVIEW England Preview Harry Brook instilled confidence in his team with his maiden hundred in the 3rd ODI. His partner in that match-winning 3rd wicket stand was out cheaply in the 4th match but opener Ben Duckett stepped up this time around and led a great fight. The two didn’t let any of the Aussie bowlers settle and especially, Adam Zampa. Their approach to batting set the momentum for the innings and the lower middle order players who followed built on the foundations set by these two. Australia Preview The world champions have got all it takes to beat any team in the world. They’ve got Travis Head at the top, Smith at number 3, Labuschagne in the middle, and Maxwell as the finisher in the batting order. It can’t get better than this. There is plenty of experience and talent in this side. Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood are the top bowlers in Australia in all formats. And if these two start struggling to find breakthroughs, these are alarming signs. Weather Conditions The weather forecast isn’t very promising for the match day in Bristol. There will be rain and wind throughout the day. Unlike at Lord’s where 11 overs were reduced from both innings, in Bristol the weather conditions might result in an abandoned match. ENG vs AUS Pitch Report It is a great wicket for batting. The average 1st innings score in ODIs at this venue is 241 runs. However, there have been many high-scoring matches here and we expect the pitch to offer plenty of help for the batters in this match as well. With the weather around, the bowlers will also find some movement through the air and we should have an even contest between bat and ball. Toss: To Bowl The team winning the toss has opted to bowl in the last 3 matches of this series. At this venue in Bristol, 18 of the 37 ODIs went in favor of the team bowling first. The highest score chased on this ground was 359 runs by England against Pakistan in 2019.

He will be the batter to watch out for. Will Jacks will come at number three. Jacks scored 62 in the first game at a strike rate of 110.71. He will continue his explosive batting style in the second game. Australia Preview With Ben Dwarshuis out due to injury, Australia will be in a dilemma to pick the new pacer in the squad. They had already lost three pacers due to injuries in the T20I series. But, Travis Head has reduced their suffering by keeping his form from the T20I series alive. He will be the batter to watch out for. Including the unbeaten 154, Head now has 487 runs in the last 8 matches at an average of 69.57 at a strike rate of 124.23. He will open the innings with skipper Mitchell Marsh who has 2 big centuries in the last ten innings.
