Hampshire vs Essex, T20BLAST, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​ Hampshire vs Essex 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 30,Friday​​ 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 23:30 PM IST​​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ The Rose Bowl, Southampton, United Kingdom, United Kingdom 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ​Vitality T20 Blast, 2025 Hampshire and Essex faced each other twice last season, and each side managed to grab a win. 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. HAM vs ESS Match Prediction & Analysis Hampshire take on Essex in Match 8 of the 2025 T20 Blast at Southampton. Both sides are coming off a tough run last season in the South Group, so they’ll be hungry to kick things off on a better note this time. The matchup looks pretty solid on paper, so there’s a good chance we’re in for a close, entertaining game. TEAMS PREVIEW Hampshire Preview Hampshire had a tough run in the 2024 T20 Blast, managing just four wins from 14 matches and finishing seventh. They’ll be eager to turn that around this season, and starting with a win would go a long way in setting the tone. To make that happen, the batters need to bring more to the table. Toby Albert will be in focus again after finishing among their top scorers last season. Another name to keep an eye on is captain Ben Brown, who’s been in decent form in the county championship. They’ve added some fresh talent to the squad, too. Dewald Brevis, the exciting young South African batter, has joined the side and could give the lineup some real punch. He stood out in the IPL recently, scoring 225 runs in six matches for CSK, with a strike rate of 180 and an average of 37.50. Also joining the squad is 19-year-old Lhuan-dre Pretorius, another promising player from South Africa. Essex Preview Essex put together a respectable season last year, coming away with seven wins and six losses from their 14 matches. With the 2024 core still intact, they look well-placed to push for a spot in the knockouts this time around. Michael Pepper will once again be at the heart of their batting. He was among the most consistent performers last season, piling up 535 runs in 13 innings. His average of 44.58 and blistering strike rate of 194 made him one of the toughest batters to contain. At the top, Essex have the seasoned Dean Elgar and Adam Rossington, both of whom delivered over 300 runs last season and gave the team strong starts more often than not. Charlie Allison and Paul Walter are likely to be steadying influences in the middle order, known for their measured, tactical approach to building an innings. In the bowling department, Paul Walter will again shoulder a lot of responsibility alongside Matt Critchley. The duo took a combined 31 wickets in the 2024 T20 Blast and will be central to Essex’s attack. Adding to that, they’ve got Mohammad Amir in the mix now. The experienced Pakistani left-armer knows how to get results in English conditions and could be a real difference-maker this season. Weather Conditions The Rose Bowl in Southampton offers a true pitch with good carry for pacers early on and consistent bounce throughout. Batters can trust the surface once set, but timing is important due to its slightly larger boundaries. Spin can play a role as the game progresses. Dew often comes into play in night matches, making chasing a preferred option under lights. Expect a balanced contest between bat and ball. The weather in Southampton is expected to be cloudy and pleasant, but there’s very little chance of rain, so we should get a full match. HAM vs ESS Pitch Report The average score batting first in the Rose Bowl in domestic T20s is 162. The highest total posted at the venue is Hampshire’s 221-3 versus Kent in the T20 Blast 2022. Aiming for something in the 180-190 range would give either side a decent shot at defending. Toss: To Bowl Chasing tends to work better in Southampton. In last year’s T20 Blast, teams batting second won four out of seven matches at this venue.

England vs West Indies, ENG vs WI 2025, Today Match Prediction​

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​ England vs West Indies​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 29,Thursday​​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 17:30 PM IST​​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Edgbaston, Birmingham, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom​ 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ​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!

Middlesex vs Sussex, T20BLAST, Today Match Prediction

Middlesex vs Sussex, T20BLAST, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​Middlesex vs Sussex​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 29,Thursday​​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 22:45 PM IST​​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Lord’s Cricket Ground, United Kingdom, United Kingdom 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ​1st T20 2025 Sussex have had the upper hand against Middlesex in recent T20 Blast matchups, taking four wins from their last five clashes. Middlesex vs Sussex 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. MID vs SUS Match Prediction & Analysis The T20 Blast returns with a brand-new season and promises plenty of action-packed cricket. The South Group begins with Middlesex taking on Sussex at the iconic Lord’s on opening day. Middlesex had a terrible campaign last year and will be desperate to turn things around. Sussex, on the other hand, had a strong showing in the previous edition, making it to the semifinals, and will be aiming to go one step further this time. TEAMS PREVIEW Middlesex Preview Middlesex had a miserable run last season, finishing second-last in the South Group with just three wins out of 14. They’ve got ground to cover and questions to answer as the new season begins. Middlesex have lost Martin Andersson, who topped their run charts last season, to Derbyshire. But they’ve landed a major name in Kane Williamson—one of the most respected batters of this generation. Williamson’s T20 numbers are impressive: 6675 runs in 250 innings at an average of 32 and a strike rate of 122.45, adding serious weight to their middle-order. He’ll line up alongside Leus du Plooy, Max Holden, and Jack Davies. Davies finished as Middlesex’s second-highest scorer in the previous Blast, piling up 214 runs in 11 innings at a strike rate of 128. Holden wasn’t far behind, scoring 188 in 10 games while going at 161. Stevie Eskinazi is expected to captain the side again, and there’s a lot riding on his performances at the top. Ryan Higgins could also play a big role—he chipped in with 166 runs from 12 matches last season and picked up 9 wickets. Sussex Preview Sussex put together an impressive campaign last year, taking second place in the South Group with nine wins from 14. They edged past Lancashire in the quarter-final but fell short in the semi-final against Gloucestershire, who went on to lift the trophy. This year, the squad looks nearly unchanged, so another solid campaign looks likely. Daniel Hughes will once again be the main man with the bat. He led the batting charts last year in the T20 Blast, with 596 runs in 16 innings, averaging close to 40 and striking at 168. James Coles, Harrison Ward, and Tom Alsop were all consistent contributors too, each finishing the season with over 330 runs. Together, they round out a dependable top and middle-order. With the ball, Sussex will look to Tymal Mills and James Coles for early wickets. Mills took 24 last season, while Coles picked up 20, making them the most productive bowlers in the squad. Ollie Robinson and Brad Currie are the other two expected to keep things steady through the middle and late overs. Weather Conditions Lord’s offers a true surface with consistent bounce and carry. Pacers get movement early, but spinners can control the middle overs if they vary pace smartly. Boundaries are longer square, shorter straight, so angles matter. It’s not a batting paradise, but totals of 160–180 are competitive if bowlers hit the right lengths. Expect a fair contest. The weather in London will be mostly cloudy with chances of a shower or two in the afternoon, which could affect the start of the game. MID vs SUS Pitch Report The average score batting first at Lord’s is 171. The highest total posted here in the T20 Blast is Essex’s 237-6 in the 2023 edition. Both teams will be eyeing a score of around 180 to feel confident about their chances. Toss: To Bowl Out of the 44 domestic T20 matches held at Lord’s, 25 have gone in favor of the team batting first. However, with cloud cover expected, both sides may choose to bowl first, hoping to grab a few early wickets while conditions still offer some help.

Toss: To Bat Gaddafi Cricket Stadium, Lahore is a decent venue for side batting first. The previous six T20s played at Lahore have been won by side batting first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​ United States of America vs Oman ​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 27,Tuesday​​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST​​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Central Broward Regional Park Stadium, Lauderhill 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ​ICC Cricket World Cup League Two, 2023-27 Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru​ 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. USA vs OMA Match Prediction & Analysis The United States of America (USA) will square off against Oman in Match 73 of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 on Tuesday, May 27th. The match is slated to be played at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium, Lauderhill, with a scheduled start time of 7:30 PM IST. The USA are coming off an 88-run victory over Canada in their last match, marking their second win on this tour. Oman, on the other hand, secured an 18-run win (DLS method) over Canada in their last outing in a rain-affected game. They have now won their third consecutive match on this tour and remain the only undefeated team. Current Standings: The USA currently sit atop the points table with 26 points from 19 matches, having secured 13 wins, 6 losses, and 2 no-results. Oman, conversely, currently stand in 3rd place with 24 points from 19 matches, having won 11, lost 6, and had two matches end in no-results. Head-to-Head Record: The USA and Oman have squared off in 9 ODI matches to date. Oman has had the upper hand with 7 wins, while the USA has managed to win two. Of Oman’s 7 victories, three were achieved batting first, three batting second, and one in a Super Over. The USA’s two wins both came while batting first. TEAMS PREVIEW United States of America Preview After losing their second match of this tour against Oman in a Super Over, where they failed to defend 14 runs, the United States of America (USA) bounced back in dominating fashion with a commanding 88-run win over Canada in their last outing. This also marked their second consecutive win against Canada on this tour. Batting first, the USA managed to score 286/9. Their top-order batters, Monank Patel (31 runs) and Andries Gous (29 runs), provided a good start, but middle-order batters Saiteja Mukkamalla (9 runs) and Milind Kumar (7 runs) failed to build a partnership. However, Shayan Jahangir (89 runs off 69 balls) and Sanjay Krishnamurthi (61 runs off 62 balls) added 139 runs for the sixth wicket, propelling the USA close to the 250-run mark, and Jasdeep Singh, with his handy knock of 16 runs, powered them past 280. Saurabh Netravalkar, who had two quiet games, stepped up and picked up a four-wicket haul, finishing with figures of 4/33. Harmeet Singh also picked up a three-wicket haul, finishing with figures of 3/40, and Jasdeep Singh took two wickets as the USA bowled out Canada for 198 runs in 46.1 overs to clinch the win. Oman Preview Oman have been the most dominating and consistent team on their tour to the USA, remaining undefeated so far with two wins over Canada and an emphatic victory over the USA in a Super Over, where they chased down 14 runs courtesy of heroics from their captain, Jatinder Singh. In their last match against Canada, Oman got the better of their opponents, with rain playing spoilsport during Oman’s run-chase when their score was 108/3 in 23.1 overs, well ahead of the DLS par score by 18 runs. Earlier in the match, bowling first, Oman bowled out Canada for 212 runs in 48.4 overs. It was a collective bowling effort led by Shakeel Ahmed, who finished with figures of 2/21 in 9 overs, including two maiden overs. Mujibur Ali and Mohammad Nadeem also picked up two wickets each. Chasing the target, Oman started strongly, with openers Jatinder Singh (27 runs) and Aamir Kaleem (10 runs) adding 39 runs in 8 overs for the first wicket. However, both openers were back in the hut swiftly, reducing Oman to 39/2. Mujibur Ali (23 runs) and Hammad Mirza (33 runs) then added 50 runs for the third wicket, bailing Oman out of trouble. Oman is the only team to have taken 29 wickets in this series, led by Shakeel Ahmed, who has picked up 7 wickets in 3 matches, alongside Samay Shrivastava, who has also claimed 7 wickets. In the batting department, Jatinder Singh has scored 131 runs, while Hammad Mirza (115 runs) and Mohammad Nadeem (116 runs) have stepped up significantly in the middle order. Weather Conditions The weather at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium, Lauderhill, on Tuesday, May 27th, looks challenging for cricket. Expect temperatures around 32°C with scattered thunderstorms and frequent rain delays throughout the match. Overcast conditions will prevail, accompanied by a 13 km/hr wind, 68% humidity, and a 40% chance of precipitation. USA vs OMA Pitch Report The pitch at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium, Lauderhill, offers a balanced track that favors both batters and bowlers. The surfaces have been dry in the last three matches, where spinners have done most of the damage in the middle overs. As the match progresses, batting and run-scoring have become more challenging. The average first innings score in the last five ODI matches played at Lauderhill is 268. Expect another dry surface and a low-scoring game, especially given the overcast conditions. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first won all the last five ODI matches played at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium, Lauderhill. The pitch tends to slow down as the match progresses making it hard for teams chasing to score runs. We predict the team that wins the toss will opt to bat first.

England Women vs West Indies Women, ENG-W vs WI-W 2025, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​ England Women vs West Indies Women​ 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 26,Monday​​ 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:00 PM IST​​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ County Ground, New Road, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ​3rd T20 2025​​​ England Women target a clean sweep in the third WT20I against West Indies at Chelmsford. 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 This has been a one-sided series so far with England Women winning by eight wickets in Canterbury and by nine wickets in Hove! West Indies Women showed some fight in the opening game but were then easily beaten by England Women again on Thursday evening which saw the hosts complete the series win at the earliest opportunity. In front of a lively Bank-Holiday crowd in Chelmsford on Monday, we can expect England Women to be well supported and West Indies Women to also be well backed by their fans. England Women began this series looking to make a strong start under their new management team and keen to banish the memories of the WT20 World Cup defeat from last October. Both things which they have achieved. TEAMS PREVIEW England Women Preview After such a dominating performance from England Women in the opening game of the series, there was very little surprise from any of the watching crowd or media on Thursday evening when the hosts announced an unchanged XI at the toss in Hove. The stars with the ball for England were the opening pair of Lauren Bell and Em Arlott who both took three wicket hauls and are likely to be just as effective in Chelmsford on Monday. With Sophie Ecclestone still absent from the series, Charlie Dean took 2/12 in the second game and she will give the ball a good spin in this game also. With the bat, there was a golden duck for Danni Wyatt-Hodge in Hove but skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt overcame her duck from the opening match with 55 not out from 30 balls. England look very strong across both their batting and bowling departments. West Indies Women Preview After losing the first WT20I by such a margin, it was no surprise to see West Indies Women make two changes for the second match of the series, but those new personnel were unable to make much of an impact. The option remains to make changes once again but we expect both Shemaine Campbelle and Stafanie Taylor to retain their places after coming into the XI in Hove. As is often the case with West Indies Women, if the skipper Hayley Matthews has an off-day then they team struggles to be competitive and that was the case in the second WT20I. Matthews, Karishma Ramharack and Stafanie Taylor are likely to be West Indies Women”s key players for this game. Weather Conditions There could be some light rain during the morning in Chelmsford but the afternoon is forecast to be dry. Expect cloudy conditions with the temperature up at 18 degrees. ENGW vs WIW Pitch Report The surface in Chelmsford is often lively for the pacers and offers turn for the spinners. But with short boundaries, expect runs a plenty as well with a par score up at 160. Toss: To Bowl The record books show us that bowling first typically leads to the most success for teams in Chelmsford so we predict that both skippers will choose to field first.

Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​ Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians ​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 26,Monday​ 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, India​ 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : ​Indian Premier League, 2025​​​ Punjab will look to Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh to kick things off once more—the pair have been in excellent touch, and the way they begin could decide how this one unfolds. Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians 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. PBKS vs MI Match Prediction & Analysis We’re into the final stretch of IPL 2025. The top four are locked, but the top two spots are still being fought over — and those positions matter since they give teams two cracks at making the final. That’s what keeps matches like Monday’s Punjab Kings (PBKS) vs. Mumbai Indians (MI) clash in Jaipur worth watching. Punjab have 17 points from 13 games and are currently second, while Mumbai sit fourth with 16 from 13. Whoever wins this one puts themselves in a strong position to secure a top two finish, depending on how the other matches play out. RECENT PERFORMANCE TEAMS PREVIEW Punjab Kings Preview Punjab Kings have put in consistent work all season to lock in their playoff berth. But their shot at a top-two finish took a dent after a loss to Delhi Capitals. Despite putting up 206-8, their bowlers couldn’t contain the chase, and DC got home with six wickets to spare. Now they’re down to one last shot, and it’s against a Mumbai Indians side riding high on form. Punjab will need all parts of their game clicking together if they’re going to pull it off. Their batting has been firing throughout the season. Prabhsimran Singh (486 runs from 13 innings) and Priyansh Arya (362 in 13) have given them fast starts at the top. If Punjab is to get this done, they’ll need the same kind of energy again. Shreyas Iyer has anchored the middle overs nicely, collecting 488 runs from 13 matches at a strike rate of 172.43. He’s been calm under pressure and just came off a fluent 53 from 34 against DC. Nehal Wadhera hasn’t gone big but has pitched in with quick contributions at around a 153 strike rate, often shifting momentum just when it’s needed. Marcus Stoinis and Josh Inglis have been chipping in too. Stoinis especially has looked dangerous in bursts—like his explosive 44 off 16 in the last game. Shashank Singh is another one to watch. He’s stayed composed in the final overs and pulled off a few turnarounds late in the game. Bowling has let them down in patches, as seen in their last outing. Arshdeep Singh has been reliable, picking up 16 wickets in 13 games at 8.70 per over. Marco Jansen, though, hasn’t had much of an impact recently. Yuzvendra Chahal, who sat out the last game, might return for this one. He brings in the ability to break partnerships. If he clicks with Arshdeep and Harpreet Brar, Punjab can give Mumbai a real fight. Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians are through to the playoffs, but they’ll need one more win and some luck elsewhere if they’re aiming for a top-two slot. Confidence shouldn’t be an issue—they’ve bagged seven victories in their last eight games. Up top, Ryan Rickelton, Will Jacks, and Rohit Sharma have had their ups and downs but have managed to lay decent foundations more often than not. Where Mumbai have really turned things around is in the middle-order. Suryakumar Yadav is in the kind of form that wins tournaments—583 runs in 13 games, averaging over 70 and striking at over 170. He’s coming off a brilliant 73* from 43 balls and looks primed to go big again. Tilak Varma’s keeping the innings moving, while Hardik Pandya and Naman Dhir have offered good support with some clutch knocks. Pandya’s done a bit with the ball too—13 wickets, although he’s gone for a touch over nine per over. Deepak Chahar has picked up 11 but hasn’t quite nailed the end overs. Trent Boult’s delivered both up front and at the death, and Jasprit Bumrah seems to be getting better with every game since his return—16 wickets from just nine outings, with an economy of 6.39. If those two click late in the innings, Mumbai could be in a strong spot. Mitchell Santner’s recent return to form gives them even more to work with—his 3 for 11 from four overs against Delhi was match-defining and gives the bowling attack even more balance heading into crunch time. Weather Conditions The surface at Sawai Mansingh Stadium offers consistent bounce and carry. Once the initial overs are out of the way, batters will find it easier to play their shots and get into a groove. Spinners might struggle later in the night as dew begins to build. The ground’s small size and setup tend to support aggressive batting and high-scoring games. Jaipur will be hot and dry, and the forecast doesn’t show any rain. The conditions look stable enough for the game to run without delays. PBKS vs MI Pitch Report The average first-innings score at Sawai Mansingh Stadium is 165, but this year’s pitches have been quite batter-friendly. In this match, the team setting the target will aim for something around 210 to give themselves a good shot at defending the total. Toss: To Bowl The previous game at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, where Delhi comfortably chased down a target of 207 versus Punjab with three balls still remaining and six wickets in hand,  made it clear that the pitch holds up well from start to finish, making it a ground where chasing makes a lot of sense.

IRE vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis The third and final ODI between Ireland and West Indies is set to take place on Sunday, May 25, 2025, at Clontarf Cricket Club Ground, Dublin, starting at 3:15 PM IST. Ireland currently leads the series 1–0, having secured a commanding 124-run victory in the first ODI, highlighted by Paul Stirling’s milestone achievement of surpassing 10,000 international runs.  The second ODI saw West Indies post an imposing total of 352/8, however, persistent rain led to the match being abandoned, leaving the series outcome to be decided in the final game. Historically, the West Indies have dominated the head-to-head record. However, Ireland has shown significant improvement in recent years, including a series win in the Caribbean in 2022. The final ODI promises to be a thrilling contest that could mark a new chapter in Ireland’s cricketing history. TEAMS PREVIEW Ireland Preview Ireland will play the final ODI of the series at home in Dublin. So far, they’ve had a good outing. They won the first ODI by 124 runs and were confident going into the second game, which unfortunately ended without a result due to rain. In the first match, Ireland put up 303 runs on the board. Andy Balbirnie was outstanding, scoring 112 off 138 balls. Paul Stirling, the captain, contributed with a solid 54. Stirling also reached the incredible milestone of 10,000 international runs— the first for Ireland. Their bowling was just as impressive. Barry McCarthy was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 4/32. Josh Little supported well with tight lines and picked up a wicket. The second ODI didn’t go in Ireland’s favour with the ball. West Indies made 352/8 in their 50 overs. But due to rain, Ireland didn’t get a chance to chase and probably avoided a defeat. Luckily, this sets the stage for the final ODI, especially since Ireland can’t lose the series now. Andy Balbirnie – 112 in the first win – and  Paul Stirling are the key batters for Ireland, while Barry McCarthy – 4 wickets for 32 runs and Josh Little are key bowlers for Ireland. In the recent past, Ireland have done well against the West Indies, winning 3 of the last 5 head-to-head games. Ireland have the home advantage and the confidence of a series lead. They have a strong chance to seal the series if they repeat their all-around effort from the first game. West Indies Preview The West Indies are currently on an away tour in Ireland, contesting a three-match ODI series. After a heavy defeat in the first ODI, they showcased a strong batting performance in the second match, which was unfortunately abandoned due to rain. With the series standing at 1–0 in favor of Ireland, the West Indies have a chance to level the series in the final game. In the first ODI, the West Indies struggled, managing only 179 runs in response to Ireland’s 303, resulting in a huge 124-run loss. However, they bounced back in the second ODI, posting a formidable total of 352/8. Keacy Carty led the charge with a well-crafted 102, while Matthew Forde provided a late-innings blitz, scoring 58 off just 19 balls, equaling the record for the fastest ODI fifty by a West Indian. Keacy Carty with a century in the second ODI is a key batter for West Indies, followed by Matthew Forde who can add crucial runs at the back end of the innings. Alzarri Joseph, with his pace and aggression, will be crucial in providing early breakthroughs. Gudakesh Motie lead the spin attack and is crucial in the middle overs. Playing away from home, the West Indies have shown resilience and the ability to adapt. With momentum from their batting performance in the second ODI, they are well-positioned to challenge Ireland and aim for a series-leveling victory. Weather Conditions The weather on the match day at Castle Avenue, Dublin is expected to be mild and breezy with intermittent showers. The temperature will range from between a high of 16°C and a low of 8°C. A couple of showers are expected throughout the day. We might see an interruption in the game.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata Knight Riders, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata Knight Riders, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​ Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata Knight Riders 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 25,Sunday​ 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Arun Jaitley Stadium, Central Delhi, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​ Indian Premier League, 2025 Sunrisers Hyderabad have hit a bit of form late into the tournament, picking up wins in three of their last four matches. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata Knight Riders 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. SRH vs KKR Match Prediction & Analysis Match 68 of IPL 2025 has Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) facing off against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) this Sunday in Delhi. Neither team has made the playoffs, and this will be the last outing of the season for both. SRH had a rough start but have managed to build some rhythm in the latter stages and will be aiming to close things out on a high. KKR, meanwhile, have struggled to find any rhythm and haven’t looked like the team that lifted the trophy last year. Though they got the better of SRH earlier this year, current form leans toward Hyderabad heading into this clash. TEAMS PREVIEW Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview Sunrisers Hyderabad may be out of the playoff race, but that’s actually worked in their favor. With less at stake, they’ve looked more relaxed and have taken three wins from their last four matches, including a solid 42-run victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their previous fixture. Their top order is where most of the runs come from. If the openers click—especially Abhishek Sharma—the team usually ends up with a strong score. Abhishek has been brilliant this season, scoring 407 runs in 12 innings at a strike rate of 193. The middle order has been hit-and-miss. Heinrich Klaasen, Ishan Kishan, and Nitish Kumar have each chipped in here and there— Kishan’s 94 off 48 last time out was a prime example—but none have strung together a consistent run of form. That said, when any one of them settles in, they’re fully capable of flipping the game around.  Lower down, Aniket Verma has quietly chipped in with the bat. He’s striking at 165 and has managed to score handy runs at the end on more than one occasion. Kolkata Knight Riders Preview Kolkata Knight Riders, last year’s champions, have struggled to find their rhythm this season—just five wins and six losses from 13 matches put them in seventh place. Their last game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru was abandoned due to rain, ending any hopes of a playoff spot. With one game left, KKR will want to end on a high and give their fans something to cheer for. So, what’s gone off-track this time? To begin with, the batting lineup has been hit-or-miss. Ajinkya Rahane has been the most reliable with 375 runs in 11 innings, while others haven’t been able to keep things steady. Quinton de Kock made way for Rahmanullah Gurbaz, but the change didn’t bring better results. Sunil Narine has had a few quick starts up top but hasn’t been able to carry it through regularly. On the positive side, Andre Russell seems to be getting back into the groove—smashing 38 off 21 and then an unbeaten 57 off 25 in the last two games. Angkrish Raghuvanshi has also been one of the bright spots—286 runs in 10 innings, averaging 35.75 with a strike rate of 145.17. On the bowling side, things have been more stable. Harshit Rana and Vaibhav Arora have shared 31 wickets between them, though they’ve leaked runs at the death. Varun Chakaravarthy and Narine have been tight in the middle overs, taking 17 wickets between them. Their eight overs could make a difference again. Russell has chipped in with tight overs late in the game and grabbed important wickets as well. Weather Conditions The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium tends to stay true and flattens out nicely under lights. Batters usually feel confident playing through the line here, especially with anything square of the wicket—timing tends to pay off. While spinners might find a bit of grip as the match progresses, it’s usually nothing substantial that affects the game. This is typically a ground where runs come if you’re set. Delhi’s weather will be on the warmer, more humid side, but there’s no rain expected. SRH vs KKR Pitch Report The average first innings score at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium is 171. In the last two matches played here, the team batting first posted totals of 199 and 187, but they were chased down comfortably in the end. Expect another high-scoring game with both teams targeting a total of over 200 to feel confident. Toss: To Bowl The previous two IPL 2025 matches at Arun Jaitley Stadium were both won with little trouble by the team batting second. These outcomes make it pretty clear that teams have a better chance when chasing here.
