Australia Masters vs South Africa Masters 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 NZ Match Prediction & Analysis India have reached yet another final of an ICC event. They were strong favorites to beat Australia in the semis and are just one step away from winning the ICC Champions Trophy once again. New Zealand have been exceptional in this tournament and have won all but one match in their campaign. They are coming into this game on the back of a huge win against South Africa in Lahore. The shift in the venues is a big factor for New Zealand. It will affect their chances of winning the final. They have played only one match on this ground so far which they lost to India while chasing a 250-run target. India have played all their matches at this venue and knowing that they will play all the games here, they picked the squad accordingly. Many observers have noted that India have an unfair advantage in this tournament. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview There are no doubts about India’s chances of winning. While New Zealand may be the only team in this tournament who can give India a run for their money as they did in their last encounter at this venue, India are still a step ahead in this contest. They’ve got a strong spin-bowling attack with Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy, and Ravindra Jadeja. These 4 can overpower any batting lineup in the world at the moment. The pitch conditions are ideal for their bowling style and we reckon they will play a huge role in India’s victory. India’s key batters are also in fine touch and with Virat Kohli coming good in a knockout game of an ICC event, the men in blue will be very confident taking on New Zealand. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill may not have been in their best form lately, but their potential is well-known. The openers can put India in a strong position even if one of them plays a longer innings. New Zealand Preview New Zealand look strong with the ball and have always posed a threat to the men in blue in ICC events. They were brilliant with the ball in their last game against India at this venue with their pacers picking up early wickets of the top 3 batters. However, it wasn’t easy for the Blackcaps to chase even a par total on this ground against Indian spinners. Kane Williamson is their key middle-order batsman who’s in great touch, scoring consistently. He will be the one to watch out for against India. He can play the spinners well but needs the support from Rachin Ravindra, who’s another top-order batsman capable of playing the longer knock. If these two come good on this occasion, New Zealand can fancy their chances of beating India in yet another knock-out game of an ICC tournament. Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham, and Glenn Phillips are key players in the lower middle order. Mitchell and Latham and reliable and experienced batters who can build crucial partnerships towards the second half of the innings while Phillips is a big-hitting finisher who will be expected to accelerate the run rate at the death. Weather Conditions We expect cloudy skies in Dubai on the match day with a high of 30 degrees Celsius. There is no rain prediction but we expect the weather to assist new-ball bowlers in the second innings. IND vs NZ Pitch Report It is a balanced wicket that has a lot to offer for the bowlers. Spinners play a key role here and it gets difficult to score quickly against them. The average 1st innings score in the last 4 ODIs of the Champions Trophy 2025 here is 245 runs. However, for a match-winning total, the team batting first should aim for at least 275 runs or more. Toss: To Bat Batting first would be ideal for New Zealand in this game. Though teams batting second have won 3 of the 4 matches here, given the Indian bowling strength, it won’t be ideal for New Zealand to chase a target on this ground in Dubai. India’s batting depth and bowling strength allow them to bat first or second and still be in a comfortable position.

IND vs AUS Match Prediction & Analysis India will look to avenge their World Cup loss as they meet Australia in the Champions Trophy semi-final in Dubai. The men in blue have won all the 3 matches they played here in the group stage. On the other hand, Australia won their opening game against England while chasing a massive target of 352 runs, but their remaining games ended without a result. In their last outing against Afghanistan, the Aussies were on top of the game scoring 109 for 1 in the 13th Over while chasing a 276-run target when rain stopped play. Travis Head and Matthew Short are in fine touch at the top and will be key players against India. The pitch has offered help for the spinners and Axar Patel, Varun Chakravarthy, and Kuldeep Yadav will pose a tough challenge to the Aussies. TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview India are in red-hot form with 3 consecutive wins. Their bowlers have been exceptional in all of their matches so far. Varun Chakravarthy’s fifer led them to a 44-run win over New Zealand. The top-order collapsed in the last match. That will be a concern for the men in blue going ahead. They need Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shubman Gill to deliver big in this match. Considering the bowling attack of Australia lacks experience as most of their key players are not part of the squad, we believe India will have the upper hand. Indian batters are more likely to get the better of Nathan Ellis, Ben Dwarshuis, and Spencer Johnson. Adam Zampa would pose a threat with his leg-break bowling. But other than that, India will dominate most of the Australian bowlers. Shreyas Iyer has scored two consecutive fifties in the middle order and will be one to watch out for. Australia Preview Australia look qutie strong as far as the batting lineup is concerned but their bowlers haven’t been in their best form. This is not the classic Aussie bowling lineup that would intimidate the opposition. There is no Starc, Cummins or Hazlewood in the squad. Without these 3 we don’t expect Australia to put the mighty Indian batting order under pressure. Glenn Maxwell, Matthew Short, and Adam Zampa will be crucial with the spin. Spinners have played a key role on this wicket and have driven India’s success. Australian bowlers have been quite expensive in recent games and were far from what’s expected of them. Travis Head, Steven Smith, and Marnus Labuschagne are the key batters to watch out for in this side. We expect these 3 to step up and deliver on the big day. Smith, in particular, will be crucial against the in-form Indian bowling attack. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy in Dubai with a high of 28 degrees Celsius. There will be cloudy skies in the city throughout the week with chances of rain next week but on the match day, we expect no rain interruptions. IND vs AUS Pitch Report The pitch has helped the spinners a great deal. There is a lot of turn on offer on this wicket and both teams will back their bowlers to put them on top of the game. The average 1st innings score in the last 5 one-day matches here is 224 runs. We reckon anything above 260 will be a highly competitive total in this match. Toss: To Bowl Though India successfully defended a total in the last match, they’ve managed to chase down a target twice before. It is not an easy pitch to score runs on and bowling first will allow the team to gain the upper hand with early wickets and potentially bundling the opposition for a low score. So far, teams bowling first have won 2 of the 3 matches in the Champions Trophy at this venue.

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :​ ​​New Zealand vs India​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : March 02, Sundayπ“πˆπŒπ„ : 14:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : ICC Champions Trophy, 2025 The top two teams from Group A meet with their places in the semi-final already guaranteed! New Zealand vs India TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. NZ vs IND Match Prediction & Analysis Group A has not been overly competitive in this year’s Champions Trophy with New Zealand and India winning both of their games at the expense of Pakistan and Bangladesh. But this game will be an important one as it will decide who finishes top of Group A and at the same time will determine who plays the runners-up from Group B. Both New Zealand and India have not really been challenged across their two games in this competition but we expect all to change in this fixture with both playing a high standard of cricket. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview It continues to be a surprise that anyone is surprised by how easily New Zealand have negotiated their first two games of this Champions Trophy and it was another comfortable victory for the Black Caps when they beat Bangladesh in their last game on Monday. That match saw Rachin Ravindra return to the team with Daryl Mitchell missing out through illness but we expect New Zealand to be at full strength for this top of the table clash with India. With Ravindra taking the Player of the Match award thanks to his 112 runs from 105 balls, it is going to be tough for New Zealand to work out who makes way for Mitchell and we expect one of Will Young or Devon Conway to be left out with Ravindra promoted to open. India Preview Pakistan were no match for India last Sunday as Rohit Sharma’s team got over the winning line with six wickets in hand and 45 balls remaining. In all, it was a fine team performance from India and they have so far lived up to their tag of pre-tournament favourites. Wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav was back to his best in the win over their great rivals, returning figures of 3/40 with Hardik Pandya the pick of the pacers. Mohammed Shami had an off day but the team management will not be concerned as he builds up his strength following a long injury lay off. With the bat, Virat Kohli once again saved a century for a game against Pakistan and the consistent pair of Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer both made significant contributions as well. India continue to have vast depth in both their bowling and batting ranks! Weather Conditions The temperature will be around 24 degrees from start to finish during this game even after sundown. Humidity levels will also be moderate and will not increase as the match progresses. NZ vs IND Pitch Report The Dubai International Cricket Stadium has good pace and bounce so overall is a good place for batting. Whoever bats first will be looking to post a total of 320+. Toss: To Bat Both teams are equally comfortable batting first or bowling first and the conditions look unlikely to change across this match. Therefore, we predict that both captains will want to bat first ahead of this game.

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.

Royal Challengers Bangalore Women vs Gujarat Giants 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. AFG vs AUS Match Prediction & Analysis An upset and some poor weather has seen this game between Afghanistan and Australia suddenly take on a lot more significance with the winner being guaranteed a place in the semi-final of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy! Afghanistan showed that they are now a consistent team in this format when they beat England for the second successive ODI with an eight run victory on Wednesday. It was a huge win for Afghanistan who had begun the tournament with a very poor performance against South Africa on the previous Friday. TEAMS PREVIEW Afghanistan Preview To win a game in the ICC Champions Trophy, a team often needs at least one player to produce a brilliant performance and fortunately for Afghanistan they had two players who were on a different level on Wedensday. With the bat, Ibrahim Zadran struck the highest ever individual score in the ICC Champions Trophy with his 177 runs from 146 balls and he will be joined in the batting line-up by captain Hashmatullah Shahidi, Azmatullah Omarzai and Mohammad Nabi who all made scores of 40+. Rahmat Shah disappointed against England but is in fine form at the moment. Omarzai dominated with the ball on Wednesday, taking 5/58 including the final dismissal to secure the victory. Rashid Khan has been consistent but the experienced all-rounder Nabi has picked up two wickets in both games so far in this campaign. Australia Preview Very few cricket followers ever write Australia off and it was no surprise to see them end a poor run of results not just in ODI cricket but also in ICC Champions Trophy fixtures with their five wicket success over England last Saturday. However, a tougher task against South Africa never got underway in Rawalpindi but that should have given their inexperienced bowling attack plenty of rest-time ahead of this match. Josh Inglis, Matthew Short and Alex Carey stood out with the bat against England but it was Glenn Maxwell who produced one of the all-time ODI innings the last time they played Afghanistan. And with Travis Head and Steven Smith in the line-up, there are plenty of runs available for the Green and Gold. Weather Conditions There is likely to be some rain on Thursday evening into Friday morning in Lahore but by the time this game gets underway on Friday afternoon we expect dry weather. Humidity levels will also increase from 7pm onwards. AFG vs AUS Pitch Report This is an excellent batting pitch which has yielded four team scores of 300+ so far in this ICC Champions Trophy. The only issue has been in the powerplay where at least two batters have been dismissed in all four innings. Toss: To Bowl So far in the tournament, we have seen a team win from batting first as well as bowling first. But with humidity likely to increase across the second innings of the game, we predict that both sides would want to bowl first in this match.

AFG vs RSA Match Prediction & Analysis ICC Champions Trophy 2025 kicked off in a grand fashion with 8 teams all set to fight out for a silverware. South Africa has been searching for a victory in ICC Trophy for almost 25 years after their win in the inaugural champions Trophy back in 2000. Afghanistan have been making giant strides in the cricketing circuit off late and they will hope for their maiden ICC Trophy sooner than later. We expect a very good contest between two quality teams.  RECENT PERFORMANCE TEAMS PREVIEW Afghanistan Preview Afghanistan will open the batting with their duo of Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadram at the top followed by Rahmat Shah at No. 3. Skipper Hasmatullah Shahidi will join forces with Gulbadin Naib, Mohammed Nabi and Azmatullah Omarzai in the middle order.  Rashid Khan will be their bowling leader of this attack and he is expected to pair up with Noor Ahmed and Mohammed Nabi in the middle overs effectively. Fazalhaq Farooqui and Fared Malik will be their lead pacers with Azmatullah Omarzai taking up third paper’s duty.  Key players: Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rashid Khan, Azmatullah Omarzai South Africa Preview South Africa will open their batting with their Skipper Temba Bavuma and Ryan Rickelton at the the top. They have superb middle order with the likes of experienced players such as Aiden Markram, Rassie Van Der Dussen, Heinrich Klassen and David Miller in their playing XI.  Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen and Lungi Ngidi will be their pace trio for this match with Wiaan Mulder expected to alot in as the all rounder in the playing XI. Keshav Maharaj will be their lead spinner and Tabraiz Shamsi might slot in as second spinner depending on the conditions.  Key players: Kagiso Rabada, Heinrich Klassen, Aiden Markram Weather Conditions Kaarchi is expected to have bright and sunny weather during the match. And it is expected to have no delays in the match. AFG vs RSA Pitch Report Karachi pitch is one of the slow pitches where the ball might not come into the bat nicely. We expect spinners to play a big role in this match with the old ball. Toss: To Bat Teams will opt to bat first in the pitch as the the pitch becomes tough to bat on as the match progresses.

Pakistan vs New Zealand 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. TEAMS PREVIEW Pakistan Preview Pakistan may not be playing their best cricket at the moment but they are still a side who are packed with match-winners and top international players. Right-handed opener Babar Azam may not be in the best form of his career but he recently went past 6000 ODI runs and a player of his class will find form again at some point. Fortunately his opening partner, Fakhar Zaman, is hitting the ball cleanly and will be confident coming into this game. Pakistan’s most consistent batters in this format are skipper Mohammed Rizwan and Salman Agha who will bat at four and five. Between the pair, they have scored almost 60% of their team’s runs in their last two ODIs. New Zealand Preview New Zealand were without Lockie Ferguson, Ben Sears, Matt Henry and Rachin Ravindra for the final of the Pakistan Tri-Nation Series but still had more than enough in the locker to win the final against Pakistan on Sunday. Ahead of this opener, the mood-music is that only Matt Henry will return to the XI with Rachin Ravindra not far away but not worth risking at this stage. In the batting department, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson, Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips have all made big scores on this trip and every New Zealand side always has batting depth. With the ball, the returning Henry will lead the attack with Michael Bracewell alongside Mitchell Santner providing vital control with accurate spin bowling. Weather Conditions The game will get underway at 14:00 local time, the hottest time of the day with the sun blaring out and the temperature at 29 degrees. Even after sundown, it will still be over 24 degrees in Karachi throughout the evening. PAK vs NZ Pitch Report Sunday’s final of the Pakistan Tri-Nation Series showed that there is something for both the batters and bowlers. No batter made a score of over 57 and it was Pakistan’s 242 which was easily overhauled by New Zealand with 28 balls and five wickets in hand. A par total looks to be around 300 on a pitch with consistent bounce. Toss: To Bat Of the last ten ODIs at the National Stadium in Karachi, five have been won by the team fielding first with five won by the side bowling first! With the hottest weather of the day likely to be in the first innings, we predict that both captains will want to bat first.
