πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :Β South Africa vs Pakistan𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 14 ,​Saturdayβ€‹β€‹π“πˆπŒπ„ :​ 21:30 PM IST​​​​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : DP World Wanderers Stadium, Sandton, South Africaπ“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ :​​ 3rd T20I 2024 South Africa eye a clean sweep South Africa vs Pakistan 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 PAK Match Prediction & Analysis South Africa have sealed the 3-match T20I series with a win in the second outing at the SuperSport Park in Centurion. Both games have been high-scoring and the hosts had the upper hand on both occasions. Pakistan looked good with the bat but looked dependent on a couple of players. Mohammad Rizwan and Saim Ayyub are the only promising batters in this squad. The rest of the lineup including Babar Azam failed to get going. The Proteas will be confident of finishing the series on a winning note. While Reeza Hendricks has found his rhythm at the top with a hundred in the last outing, they have got the reliable Rassie van der Dussen and Heinrich Klaasen in the middle order. TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview South Africa are leading 2-0 and will be out to finish a clean sweep in Johannesburg. Though it looks like a solid batting lineup overall with key players in great touch, there is one player whose form will be a concern. Matthew Breetzke was out cheaply in both outings at number 3. All eyes will be on him to come good in the 3rd T20I and make a mark for himself. He averages just over 16 and has a strike rate of 122 from 10 T20Is. Rassie van der Dussen was sent down to number 4 after he was out for a duck in the opening game. He found his rhythm in the second match scoring an unbeaten 66 off 38 balls to help South Africa win by 7 wickets while chasing a 207-run target. Pakistan Preview Pakistan need to find other match-winners apart from Mohammad Rizwan and Saim Ayyub. Babar Azam was off to a steady start in the second match but failed to convert it into something more significant. Azam isn’t the typical T20 player who can score quick runs and accelerate the pace of the innings. He is expected to anchor the innings from one end and build partnerships with others who come in to bat alongside him. Rizwan and Saim Ayyub are in fine touch and will have their job cut out for them. They need to score big and haven’t got anyone else to rely on at the moment. Usman Khan and Tayyab Tahir haven’t looked promising in the middle order though Irfan Khan’s 30 off 16 balls at number 6 will raise hopes for the visitors. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy with a high of 18 degrees Celsius around the game in Johannesburg. Though there is a rain prediction for the next day, we don’t expect any interruptions during the 3rd T20I between the two sides. RSA vs PAK Pitch Report There is enough help for the batters on this wicket though its dryness might create some inconsistence bounce from a length. There will be pace on offer and the ball will come onto the bat nicely. The average 1st innings score in T20Is here is 176 runs. We reckon anything above 185-190 will be a highly competitive total on this pitch. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first have won 14 of the 27 T20Is played at this venue. Though there is no clear advantage to either batting or bowling first here, we reckon having runs on the board can put the team ahead in the contest. There is plenty of help for the batters and if the team batting first gets to a competitive score, they should have the upper hand in the second innings.

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :Β Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 14 ,​Saturday​​ π“πˆπŒπ„ :​ 17:00 PM IST​​​​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Harare Sports Club, Harare, Zimbabweπ“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ :​​ 3rd T20I 2024 Zimbabwe’s quest for a win and berth in the finals  Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan 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. ZIM vs AFG Match Prediction & Analysis We have seen good competition in this series so far. Zimbabwe surprised everyone by winning the first game of the three-match series against Afghanistan by 4 wickets. However, the Afghans bounced back in the last game with a convincing 50-run win. As the battle moves to the series decider, we expect a close contest between the two teams as the hosts would look for a rare series win.    Afghanistan has dominated Zimbabwe in this format. They have lost only twice against them in 17 matches between the two teams. The Afghans have an experienced bowling attack that will enjoy bowling in these conditions. It will be a tall ask for the Zimbabweans, and we expect them to show a positive attitude and fight hard in the middle. TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview Sikandar Raza will be upset with his team’s batting performance in the last game. They succumbed under pressure and wasted an opportunity to win the series. The Zimbabwean skipper would like his players to draw inspiration from their win in the first game. They must play to their strengths to trouble the Afghans.  Brian Bennett must deliver a good start at the top with Tadiwanashe Marumani. The Afghans have a strong bowling attack and shall test them. Dion Myers must do well in the middle order and build partnerships with Wesley Madhevere and Sikandar Raza. Ryan Burl and Tashinga Musekiwa must do well in the finishers’ role.  Afghanistan Preview Rashid Khan’s team will be relieved after their win in the last game. The team was under pressure after losing the first game. The bowling attack performed brilliantly in the last game and delivered blows to the Zimbabwean batting. With the series leveled, Rashid and his men would go for the kill and look to grab the series.  Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Sediqullah Atal failed to convert their start in the last game, and the team expects a strong start from the pair. Darwish Rasooli played a match-winning knock in the last game and shall look to add runs in the middle order with Zubaid Akbari and Azmatullah Omarzai. Khan, Mohammad Nabi, and Gulbadin Naib strengthen the lower middle order.  The bowling attack performed brilliantly in the last game. The team expects early wickets from Naveen-ul-Haq and Mujeeb Ur Rahman to put the hosts under pressure. Rashid Khan is the best bowler in the team and shall look to do well in the middle overs with Omarzai and Fareed Ahmad Malik. Mohammad Nabi and Naib add depth to the bowling.  Weather Conditions There would be some cloud over Harare. The pitch will be a tough one to bat on. Batsmen will have to be cautious in their approach and play patiently. The average first-inning score is just above 155 runs, and the team batting first would be happy to have 180 runs on the board. ZIM vs AFG Pitch Report The pitch at Harare Sports Club is slow, which creates problems for the batsmen. The large outfield is also a challenge. Most players are used to playing in smaller parks in this format. There is early assistance for the fast bowlers, and spinners have done well as the ball tends to stop on the batsmen, creating doubts in their minds. Toss: To Bowl The track is dual-paced, and batting against the spinners is difficult. Batting won’t be easy here at the start, and chasing the score puts the team at an advantage. The side winning the toss here would like to bowl first.

New Zealand 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. NZ vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis With the series already in hand, England will aim for a 3-0 whitewash when they face New Zealand in the third and final Test at Hamilton on Saturday. The Kiwis, who stunned India in their previous series, had hoped to mount a strong challenge on home turf. However, England has proven dominant in all facets of the game, securing a commanding 2-0 lead. However, recent form suggests that England have the edge in its encounter. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview After their triumphant series in India, New Zealand had positioned themselves as strong candidates for the WTC finals. But their fortunes took a nosedive at home after they lost the first Tests against England quite comprehensively. With the series now already gone, the Kiwis will look to save face by avoiding a whitewash. The hosts’ batting has been particularly disappointing, with openers Devon Conway and Tom Latham failing to fire, averaging under 25 across their four innings. Conway’s absence in the upcoming game due to injury adds to their woes but has paved the way for Will Young to step in. Young was one of New Zealand’s top performers against India, scoring 244 runs in 6 innings at an average of 49.  England Preview England have been nothing short of masterful on this tour, clinching a series victory in New Zealand for the first time in over 15 years with two thumping wins on the trot.  Harry Brook has been in sensational form (349 runs in 3 innings at an average of 116), leading the run-scoring charts with two centuries and a fifty. He’s been ably supported by Joe Root, Ollie Pope, and Jacob Bethell in the middle order, ensuring a consistent flow of runs.  Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley have provided a solid platform at the top, while captain Ben Stokes adds further depth to an already strong lineup. Weather Conditions Seddon Park in Hamilton, known for its batting-friendly conditions, offers a flat track that generally aids run-scoring, especially in the first two days. The pitch tends to slow down as the match progresses, but there’s usually enough in it for the bowlers by the third or fourth day. Fast bowlers might find some early movement, particularly with the new ball, but overall, it’s a venue where batsmen can play big innings. The outfield is quick, which can help in chasing down totals or accumulating runs quickly. The weather in Hamilton will be very warm in the first two days. The third day will be extremely cloudy while the fourth day might see some showers in the afternoon, which might interrupt the game. The final day of the match will have clear weather. NZ vs ENG Pitch Report The average first innings score at Seddon Park is 310. The average runs per wicket at this venue is 31.77. The team batting first will look to get to a score of around 350-400 runs. Toss: To Bowl Stats show that teams tend to do better when they field first at Seddon Park. So, the captain who wins the toss might choose to bowl.

South Africa vs Pakistan 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 PAK Match Prediction & Analysis The opening T20I was an excellent contest between two strong teams in this format and many pundits are expecting this second game of the series to be equally as competitive. Centurion is an excellent venue for any format of cricket and Pakistan have an excellent record here in T20Is so history would suggest that they are in a good position to go level in the series! But if they are to do that, they will need to find a way to tame David Miller and George Linde, both who dominated when at the crease on Tuesday. For the tourists, Shaheen Shah Afridi produced another brilliant bowling display and Mohammad Rizwan starred with the bat, but if they are to take the series to a decider, they will need more contributions from other batters on Friday. TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview It was David Miller who shone with the bat in the opening game of the series in Durban but this South Africa T20I side, who went all the way to the T20 World Cup final earlier this year, have plenty of other strong top order batters in their XI. Opening up will be Reeza Hendricks and Rassie van der Dussen before the impressive Matthew Breetzke, who many are predicting a long and strong international career, will come in at number three. Skipper and keeper-batter Heinrich Klaasen made only 12 in the first game but he is one of the great T20I batters of this generation and few would be surprised to see him top score in this game. Pakistan Preview There were four notable individual performances from Pakistan in the first T20I so even though they lost that game there should still be plenty of confidence in the squad, Those strong showing came from left-arm pace bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi (3/22), mystery spinner Abrar Ahmed (3/37), captain Mohammad Rizwan (74 runs from 62 balls) and number three batter Saim Ayub (31 runs from 15 balls). Coming to Centurion, Pakistan will be looking to others to step up as well and they are fortunate to have strong depth in this T20I squad. The great Babar Azam made a four-ball duck in the opening fixture and number four Usman Khan is another potential match-winner with the bat. Haris Rauf is another star bowler in this team. Weather Conditions According to the forecast, there is a chance of some rain across what is expected to be a cloudy Friday in Centurion. However, come the evening and this game we are predicting a dry affair! RSA vs PAK Pitch Report This was the venue for a high-scoring 216/6 playing 208/7 last month and it would be a surprise if we did not see over 400 runs again in this fixture. Good pace, good carry and the opportunity to score plenty of runs will be the order of the day. Toss: To Bowl India beat South Africa by batting first in the last T20I here but the previous five games in this format were all won by the team fielding first. Therefore, we are predicting that both captains will arrive at the ground hoping to bat first.

Their recent performances against higher-ranked teams haven’t been good. The team has several problems up its sleeves with a batting lineup that has struggled. Butt shall expect a stronger show from his players in this contest.  The team expects a good start from Umer Toor and Asif Ali, as the UAE has an experienced bowling attack.

There isn’t much on this track for the fast bowlers, but spinners have done well as they can turn the ball. Toss: To Bowl The batting conditions are good at this venue.

WI vs BAN Match Prediction & Analysis West Indies have sealed the series with a 2-0 lead after beating Bangladesh in the second one-day international at the Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts. The third and final match of this series will be played at the same venue. Though Bangladesh suffered a collapse in the last outing after they were put to bat first, the pitch has looked great for the batters. West Indies chased down 230 quite comfortably in the 2nd ODI while they won by 5 wickets chasing a 295-run target in the opening match. TEAMS PREVIEW West Indies Preview West Indies will be confident coming into this game after winning back-to-back matches. Shai Hope will be delighted with the performances of his top-order batters who stepped up and delivered match-winning knocks in the second ODI. Brandon King and Evin Lewis are among the experienced players in this squad and are known for their quick-scoring abilities in the white-ball format. The two will be key players to watch out for in the top order. Shai Hope and Sherfane Rutherford were the stars of the game for West Indies in the opening match as the two built a 99-run partnership for the 4th wicket. After Hope was dismissed Rutherford and Justin Greaves added another 95 runs for the 5th wicket. Bangladesh Preview Bangladesh have struggled with the ball in this series which is not usual for a team with such talented players in the bowling department. They are known for bowling variety and their spinners have never let them down. However, it seems this venue hasn’t been ideal for the bowlers and has given the visitors a tough time. Shoriful Islam and Tanzid Hasan Shakib are the key pacers in this side who need to find their rhythm. The young right-arm fast bowler Nahid Rana has looked very promising and is someone to watch out for. He’s played just 3 ODIs in his career so far but looks pretty decent and can deliver an impactful spell. Many experienced batters in the side should be able to lead the comeback from Bangladesh in this game. Soumya Sarkar and Litton Das are the key players in the top order expected to deliver a big start. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy in the morning in Basseterre but as the match progresses, it will clear out and be sunny with a high of 28 degrees Celsius. There should be no rain interruptions on the match day though there is a rain forecast later in the week. WI vs BAN Pitch Report It is a balanced pitch at Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts with a slight edge in the favor of bowlers. The average 1st innings total in the last 10 ODIs has come down to 184 runs. However, the pitch looked great for batting in the last two games and we expect some big hitting and competitive totals in this match. Toss: To Bowl Teams batting first have won 20 of the 32 ODIs played here. That is probably why Bangladesh chose to bat first in the opening game. However, the recent trends show teams chasing a target quite comfortably. Moreover, Bangladesh aren’t in great shape with the bat and the hosts would look to bowl first and restrict them to a low total.

Uganda vs Nigeria 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. UGA vs NIG Match Prediction & Analysis The table-toppers will come head to head in the upcoming 14th fixture of the Africa Continental Cup 2024 at the Gahanga International Cricket Stadium in Kigali. This is going to be the third fixture between the two sides in this tournament. Uganda has remained unbeaten in this competition and have taken down Nigeria successfully twice. On the flipside, Nigeria has not had any luck against Uganda and are yet to beat them in any format in international cricket.  As far as the standings are concerned, the two teams are not so far behind each other. Uganda have won six in a row and are sitting at the top of the three with a super-looking NRR of 4.305.  Nigeria on the other hand, have mustered only two wins, one against Rwanda and one against Botswana. But it is their NRR of -0.494 that keeps them afloat from the rest at number two.   TEAMS PREVIEW Uganda Preview Uganda have been unstoppable in this year’s Africa Continental Cup. The highs of the 2024 T20 World Cup have not deserted them as the team continues to reach new heights. They are in the middle of an unbeaten six-match winning streak and remain undefeated thus far in this closely-contested tournament. Moreover, their superior win record against Nigeria makes them a very lethal team to contend with.  Uganda made headlines in their very recent clash with Botswana by recording the highest-ever total of 229-3 in this competition. Ssesazi and Mangela launched a scathing attack on the weakened Botswana bowlers to mount such a colossal total. The team certainly has bold ambitions and in all likelihood is aiming for the title.  Nigeria Preview Nigeria were impressive in their first two encounters of the tournament against Rwanda and Botswana. But a series of 4 consecutive defeats in their following fixtures have derailed the team to a greater extent. Besides, time and again, Uganda have proven to be their nemesis and this upcoming fixture will be no different for them. The team desperately continues to search for their maiden win against Uganda in world cricket.  A fairly average bowling performance despite a steady innings of 41 (33) from Okpe led to their downfall in the last game as Rwanda managed to chase down a fairly tricky target of 152 with an over to spare. The team is in urgent need of a win in this fixture to get their campaign back on track.  Weather Conditions The forecast for tomorrow’s game in Kigali indicates overcast and somewhat dreary weather, with a moderate likelihood of scattered showers at 20%. Throughout the day, temperatures are expected to range from 25Β°C to 17Β°C, while humidity levels may reach as high as 70%. Moreover, we expect a slow wind speed of roughly 6 km/hr to be present throughout the match day.  UGA vs NIG Pitch Report The playing surface at Gahanga International Cricket Stadium provides significant pace and bounce. Batters can accumulate runs effectively once they acclimate to the conditions. In the initial innings, the surface remains firm and relatively even, making it a favorable choice for teams batting first. The 200-run threshold has been surpassed on one occasion during the tournament, with several teams narrowly missing that mark. This serves as an indication that the aggressive hitters can thrive on this wicket once they see off the new ball and spend enough in the middle. The average 1st innings score in the 12 matches played in the tournament is 153 runs.  Toss: To Bowl So far in the 12 matches played in the African Continental T20 Cup teams batting first won five and the team bowling first won seven matches. Teams chasing have had a better record in the recent games, with the surface getting better in the later stages of the game, the team that wins the toss will opt to bowl first.

Australia Women vs India 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 IND-W Match Prediction & Analysis The series has been decided in favor of Australia by 2-0 with the third WODI match slated to be played at the WACA on December 11 in Perth. It’s been a one-sided affair for the two teams ever since the onset of the three-match ODI series. Australia Women have clamped down hard on the Indian Women leaving the tourists with no respite.  With many high-profile players underwhelmingly out of form against a star-studded Australian side, it has been a series to forget for India Women. It has now come down to a matter of national pride as India Women brace themselves to avoid a humiliating whitewash at the hands of a dominating Australian side.  Head-to-head record: When comparing the overall head-to-head record, Australia Women have by far looked the most competent side as opposed to India Women. The home side has an overall near-invincible record of 45-10 in 55 WODI games. At home, Australia have also dominated India Women winning 14 out of 19 WODI fixtures against them.  TEAMS PREVIEW Australia Preview It has been all too easy for Australia Women in this series. Their domination has hardly been challenged by India Women who have looked all at sea against them. Both their wins in this series have come in a thumping fashion. Megan’s five-fer obliterated India in the first WODI for only 100. Despite losing 5 wickets, the run chase turned out to be a cakewalk as Voll’s unbeaten 46 steered Australia Women to a comfortable 5-wicket win inside 20 overs.  Then in the second WODI, records tumbled as Australia Women registered their highest WODI total of 371 against India Women. Batting was at its belligerent best as Voll and Perry smashed twin centuries at a blistering rate to help Australia achieve a monumental total. It was never going to be easy for India Women to chase down such a daunting total and their batting capitulated well inside 45 overs with Sutherland being the pick of the bowlers with figures of 4-39. India Preview India has been blown away left, right, and center and for them, it is merely a matter of survival. Amidst a poor track record in Australia, India Women are tasked with salvaging their pride. Australia have proven to be their nemesis in this format time and again.  The Blues suffered a shocking 3-0 whitewash at home earlier this year and as experts believe, a similar fair awaits them at WACA in Perth. Besides, India Women have not had a huge degree of success in the  WODI format this year and had to contend with a 1-2 series defeat against New Zealand Women at home as well. India’s stalwarts featuring Harmanpreet and Mandhana have been dangerously short of runs and have endured a lean patch for quite some time. While their batting department continues to suffer, their bowling too hasn’t been that penetrative which has further aggravated their woes in this already-lost WODI series. Weather Conditions The temperature on Wednesday will be slightly on the higher side with daytime temperatures expected to touch near 38C. However, the lowest drop is expected to be around 28C. Moreover, the forecast suggests a 15% chance of rainfall between 11 AM to 3 PM but is expected to remain clear throughout the course of the day. In addition, there is expected to be a moderate breeze presence of roughly 18 km/hr.  AUSW vs IND-W Pitch Report The pitch at the WACA is regarded as one of the quickest and bounciest in the world, with the outfield being exceptionally fast as well. It is an ideal hunting ground for the pacers and hit-the-deck bowlers who are looking to extract steep bounce and carry. Moreover, with some weather and breeze around, there could also be some lateral movement on offer with the new ball. But the lightning nature of the wicket and the outfield also presents lucrative run-scoring opportunities for the batting side. Batters cash in and utilize the pace of the ball and score more runs.  Toss: To Bat As of now, only 6 WODI games have been played at this venue and both the batting as well as the bowling teams have had mixed fortunes so far. Three apiece have been won by the batting as well as the bowling side with the average first innings score amounting to a modest 197 runs.  Hence, by looking at the past records, the toss may not play a pivotal role in deciding the outcome of the match and both teams should back themselves to play quality cricket. Either team batting first should aim to set a target 20-30 runs higher than the par score of 197.
