Akeal Hosein has combined figures of 6/20 from the two opening games and the spinner is our pick for West Indies’ top wicket taker against New Zealand.All of New Zealand’s batters had an evening to forget in their opening match against Afghanistan but Daryl Mitchell has been in excellent form and he is a strong choice for their highest run scorer against West Indies. Trent Boult took 2/22 in Match 14 and he is our tip for New Zealand’s top wicket taker in this game.With a strike-rate of 7.00 in the 2024 T20 World Cup so far, we recommend backing Akeal Hosein to take over 1.5 wickets in this fixture.

West Indies vs New Zealand Match Prediction & Betting Tips, T20 World Cup 2024 West Indies and New Zealand meet in Match 26 of the 2024 T20 World Cup in Group C at the Brian Lara Stadium. After wins over Papua New Guinea and Uganda, West Indies are looking for their third victory of the tournament. New Zealand are playing in their second game in the competition after losing by 84 runs to Afghanistan. Read on as we preview this clash. The game gets underway in Tarouba, Trinidad on Thursday 12th June at 20:30 local time West Indies have won by five wickets and by 134 runs in their opening two games but everyone expects this match with New Zealand to be a much tougher test. However, if West Indies play to their potential then they should have enough to make it three victories from three. New Zealand were embarrassed by their performance against Afghanistan which saw them lose by 84 runs and record their largest losing margin in a T20 World Cup. Particularly with the bat, they underperformed in that game and we can expect a much stronger showing in this clash. West Indies vs New Zealand Match Toss PredictionThis will be the fifth T20I at the Brian Lara Stadium and although the last match here was won by the team chasing, the previous three were all won by the side batting first. We predict that both skippers will want to bat first if they win the toss. West Indies vs New Zealand Pitch ReportThere is always some turn for the spinners at the Brian Lara Stadium and we expect this game to be no different. Equally there will be some good pace in the wicket and movement for the quicks. Any score above 165-170 in the first innings will be tough to chase down. Trinidad Weather ReportAccording to the forecast, it will be extremely humid throughout this match with the levels at 72% to begin with and up to 83% by the end. The temperature will be in the mid-twenties from start to finish. Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for West Indies vs New Zealand, T20 World Cup 2024

He is a match winner for his side and we are backing him to be Afghanistan’s top batter. New Zealand batters could be found wanting against the spinners and Afghanistan have an ace in Rashid Khan, who is our pick for top bowler.Kane Williamson is New Zealand most technically sound batter and the Kiwis will rest a lot of hopes on their captain. Back him as New Zealand top batter. Trent Boult with the new ball will be vital and could pick multiple wickets as the ball does swing for the first few overs. Boult can be a great pick for top New Zealand bowler.Afghanistan batting will be tested against New Zealand and they are likely to lose a lot of wickets. Back Afghanistan to lose more than six wickets while batting.

New Zealand vs Afghanistan Match Prediction & Betting Tips, T20 World Cup 2024 New Zealand will take on Afghanistan in the 14th game of the T20 World Cup 2024. The game will be played at the Providence Stadium, Guyana and will start at 5:00 AM IST on June 8 New Zealand have been one of the most consistent teams in ICC events. Even though the team is yet to a win an ICC tournament, they have reached the top 4 consistently. New Zealand are being deemed as one of the favourites for the title in this current addition too and would eye a winning start. Meanwhile, Afghanistan might be below New Zealand in terms of rankings but the team is well capable to beat them on their day. Afghanistan were brilliant in the first game against Ugada and picked a massive win by 125 runs. On paper, New Zealand have a better team but they are likely to face a strong challenge by Afghanistan spinners and how they cope up will probably decide the outcome of the match. New Zealand vs Afghanistan Match Toss PredictionChasing teams have enjoyed more success in the T20 World Cup thus both captains will be keen to chase. New Zealand vs Afghanistan Pitch ReportThis is not an easy wicket to bat. The new ball has done a bit while the slow nature of the surface has made spinners look very threatening. Any score of 150-160 can be very challenging to chase. Guyana Weather ReportThere is rain predicted on the match day. The chances of precipitation stand at 80 percent so a curtailed game cannot be ruled out.

‘When I met him…’: Shubman Gill recalls his first meeting with Virat Kohli – Watch

Danijones6 months ago03 mins

NEW DELHI: If Virat Kohli is called the ‘King’ then Shubman Gill is referred to as the ‘Prince’ of Indian cricket.Gill has been earmarked to succeed Kohli as the batting mainstay of Team India and he himself has gone on record to looking up to Kohli and getting inspiration from the former Indian captain.But Gill and Kohli would be on the opposite sides when Gujarat Titans take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Sunday and ahead of the match, the host broadcaster shared a video where Gill talks about his first meeting with Kohli.Gill says, “When I spoke to him for the first time when I went to New Zealand, there he told me every time a new kid comes, people say he needs a couple of chances, he needs some innings to get through but I think if you are good and capable then you can start from your first innings, you can score a 100 in your first innings. And you come to know how one looks at life.”“So I came to know what kind of a person he is and I really liked it. So what he told me was that if you a new kid comes on the block, in the Indian team, all say that he should get some chances, he should get some innings, he will get set after that only. But he said that he saw that capability in me and you have to give it your 100% , rest we will see what happens,” Gill adds. With 4 wins and 5 defeats, Gujarat Titans are at the seventh spot in the points table while RCB are at the bottom.

Pakistan was close to victory when they required 6 off the last ball but Jimmy Neesham held his nerve and handed his team a 4-run victory. Fakhar Zaman’s knock of 61 off 45 deliveries anchored the innings. Pakistan played well in the 4th T20 and we can expect them to draw the series with yet another similar performance. New Zealand did some tight bowling in the last match to take the lead in the series. William O’Rourke was awarded the player of the match for his figures of 3/26.

Pakistan Trounce Depleted New Zealand In Second T20I

Danijones7 months ago05 mins

Left-armers Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mohammad Amir shared five wickets to rock New Zealand for a paltry 90 before Mohammad Rizwan anchored the chase to help Pakistan win the second Twenty20 clash Saturday in Rawalpindi. Shaheen led the attack with 3-13 while Amir, returning to international cricket after nearly four years, finished with 2-13 as the visitors were bowled out in 18.1 overs after being sent in to bat. Rizwan finished with 45 not out off 34 balls with a six and four boundaries to ensure Pakistan chased down a modest target in 12.1 overs for a seven wicket win and take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. The first match, also in Rawalpindi, was washed out after just two deliveries on Thursday. New Zealand did fight back with wickets of Saim Ayub (four), Babar Azam (14) and debutant Usman Khan (seven) but Muhammad Irfan Khan (run-a-ball 18) partnered Rizwan in an unfinished 36-run stand to seal victory. Ayub hit a boundary off the first ball of the innings before giving a return catch to pacer Ben Lister off the next while Azam was stumped off rival skipper Michael Bracewell and Usman bowled by spinner Ish Sodhi. Azam credited his bowling for the kickstart. “It’s crucial to set the tone in first six overs at this ground,” said Azam of the Pindi stadium which saw a packed 16,000 week-end crowd. “The way Naseem, Shaheen and Amir bowled was outstanding and helped us get early wickets.” Bracewell lamented batting failure. “We didn’t score quite enough runs,” said Bracewell. “We were little bit slow to adapt to the surface and put ourselves under pressure in the end. We got a game tomorrow and we need to learn quickly.” Earlier Amir — returning to international cricket after nearly four years — jolted New Zealand in the opening overs. Amir retired abruptly in 2020 after he was dropped from the team, the second break in his career after he was banned for five years in a spot-fixing scandal in 2010. Spinners Abrar Ahmed (2-15) and Shadab Khan (2-15) doubled the pressure as New Zealand were dismissed for their second lowest total against Pakistan in the game’s shortest format. Mark Chapman (19), Cole McConchie (15), Dean Foxcroft (13) and Tim Seifert (13) were the only batsmen to reach double figures. Chapman hit three boundaries in his 16-ball knock. New Zealand’s lowest T20I total against Pakistan is 80, made at Christchurch in 2010. Fast bowler Naseem Shah, also playing his first match since injuring his shoulder in September last year, took 1-27 in four overs. Both teams are preparing for the Twenty20 World Cup to be held in June in the United States and the West Indies. New Zealand are missing a host of their top players due to playing in the ongoing Indian Premier League, unavailability and injuries. The remaining matches are in Rawalpindi on Sunday followed by the last two in Lahore on April 25 and 27.

Ben Sears has a T20I strike-rate of 15.3 and the 26 year old pace bowler is a strong choice for New Zealand’s top wicket taker against Pakistan.After finishing the recent Pakistan Super League as the leading run scorer, we recommend choosing Babar Azam to hit the most fours in this fixture.

Pakistan vs New Zealand 2nd T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips After the opening T20I of the series was reduced to a five over aside match but then lasted only two balls on Thursday, Pakistan and New Zealand reconvene again in Rawalpindi for the second of five matches on Saturday evening. Read on as we preview this T20I. The match gets underway at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium at 19:30 local time on April 20th. Although the opening game of the series lasted only two balls, there was still a wicket for Pakistan and their former skipper Shaheen Shah Afridi. We expect the bowling unit of the hosts to be too strong for New Zealand’s batters and Pakistan should have the ability to win this match. With the series still at 0-0, New Zealand will fancy their chances of getting the most out of their squad in this match and taking a 1-0 lead. However, taking on Pakistan in Rawalpindi is never easy and this group of New Zealand players will need to be at their best if they are to get a positive result. Pakistan vs New Zealand Match Toss PredictionNew Zealand won the toss on Thursday and chose to bat first but that was due to the game being reduced to five overs aside. We predict that the captains will want to field first ahead of this T20I. Pakistan vs New Zealand Pitch ReportWe were not able to learn too much about the surface at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in the opening game of the series but our view remains that overall this is a good batting surface. Rawalpindi Weather ReportThere is only a very small chance of rain on Saturday evening in Rawalpindi so any interruptions will be very short. It will be humid throughout with the temperature never lower than 20 degrees. Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for Pakistan vs New Zealand 2nd T20 2024

Pakistan targets right T20 combination against understrength New Zealand | Cricket

Danijones7 months ago07 mins

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan — The 2009 champion Pakistan is aiming to tick all the right boxes in its preparation phase ahead of the Twenty20 Cricket World Cup as it gears up for the five-match series under comeback captain Babar Azam against an understrength New Zealand. Pakistan targets right T20 combination against understrength New Zealand Rawalpindi will host the first three games from Thursday. The remaining two games will be staged at Lahore on April 25 and 27 as both squads build up to the world tournament being staged in the United States and Caribbean in June. HT launches Crick-it, a one stop destination to catch Cricket, anytime, anywhere. Explore now! Babar returns as white-ball captain and will lead the squad for the third successive T20 World Cup. He replaces Shaheen Shah Afridi, who lost to the Black Caps 4-1 earlier this year in his maiden series as Pakistan’s T20 skipper. Babar led Pakistan to the semifinals of the T20 World Cup in 2021 in the United Arab Emirates, where it lost to eventual champion Australia, and also skippered the side beaten by England at Melbourne in the 2022 edition. Fast bowler Mohammad Amir and allrounder Imad Wasim have come out of retirements to give Pakistan plenty of selection options after express fast bowler Haris Rauf was ruled out of the series due to shoulder injury and Mohammad Nawaz was dropped. Selectors rewarded several performers from the Pakistan Super League, including uncapped Usman Khan and Irfan Khan. Usman was banned by the UAE for five years after switching allegiance to his country of birth. He came into contention for Pakistan’s T20 World Cup squad after smashing back-to-back centuries for Multan Sultans in the PSL. “We have a very balanced side and we have covered all the aspects of the game in this squad,” said Azhar Mahmood, head coach for the series against New Zealand. “Definitely, with the comeback of Amir and Imad we have an edge and we can use them any time.” Mahmood was appointed on ad-hoc basis as Pakistan is still searching for a long-term head coach ahead of the T20 World Cup. Pakistan is also scheduled to play a three-match T20 series in Ireland next month and another four matches against England are lined up before the team flies out to America. Mahmood said he wants to give clarity of roles to the players during the series against New Zealand and could also rest key players, including Babar, to test the depth of the squad. “Definitely, it is quite possible we might give rest to Babar,” Mahmood said. “It’s the best available talent we have picked. We will see how the series goes and what the conditions are.” The core of New Zealand’s World Cup-bound squad, including captain Kane Williamson, Daryl Mitchell and Lockie Ferguson, is playing in the Indian Premier League. Also missing from the Pakistan tour will be veteran Tim Southee, who was rested, and Tom Latham was given paternity leave. New Zealand’s squad was further depleted when power-hitter Finn Allen and fast bowler Adam Milne were ruled out because of injuries sustained during a training camp last week. The Black Caps will be led by Michael Bracewell, who hasn’t played an international game since March 2023 after rupturing his right Achilles during the T20 Blast and then breaking a finger. Mark Chapman, who scored 290 runs in a drawn T20 series in Pakistan last year, hoped players such as fast bowler Will O’Rourke and power-hitter Tim Robertson will do well. “Any team that plays for New Zealand is a team that’s extremely proud to be representing our country,” Chapman said. “It’s an amazing opportunity to show the depth that we’re building. Obviously the team generally has been pretty settled, but behind the scenes, there’s a lot of talent. “The young guys like Ben Sears, Will O’Rourke have played this year in test cricket and really impressed. Also, Tim Robertson was outstanding this year in the Super Smash and the guys are really excited because they know that a full-strength Pakistan team.” cricket: /hub/cricket This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
