Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, Indiaπ“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : Indian Premier League, 2025 Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated Gujarat Titans in both their clashes in IPL 2024. New Zealand 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. RCB vs GT Match Prediction & Analysis Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) face Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 14th match of IPL 2025 in Bengaluru. RCB have exceeded expectations so far, securing two dominant wins and carrying strong momentum into this home fixture. Gujarat Titans bounced back well after an early setback and will be eager to keep that going. Both teams come in with confidence, but with RCB playing at home and in top form, they head into this clash as the team to beat. TEAMS PREVIEW Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview Royal Challengers Bengaluru couldn’t have asked for a better start to their season. Two away matches, two dominant victoriesβ€”they’ve set the tone early and look like strong contenders. Their latest win was a commanding 50-run triumph over Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. After putting up 196-7, they kept the hosts to just 146-8. RCB’s batting lineup is in excellent shape, with Virat Kohli, Philip Salt, and Rajat Patidar all looking solid. Patidar has stepped up with crucial performances in both games, while Salt will relish the batting-friendly conditions at Chinnaswamy. An aggressive start from him seems likely. Kohli, who thrives at this venue with an average of over 40, has registered four centuries and 22 fifties here. Another big knock is on the cards. Lower down the order, Jitesh Sharma and Tim David can be counted on for quick runs in the final overs. Batting has always been RCB’s strong suit, but this season, their bowling looks sharp too. Josh Hazlewood’s inclusion has been a game-changerβ€”five wickets in two matches at an economy of just 5.37 speak volumes. Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s presence alongside him gives RCB a dependable pace attack in the powerplay. Krunal Pandya, Yash Dayal, and Liam Livingstone add more options in the middle overs, ensuring a balanced attack. Gujarat Titans Preview After falling short in their opening game against Punjab Kings, Gujarat Titans bounced back with a convincing 36-run win over Mumbai Indians at home. They put up a solid 196-8 after batting first and kept MI to 160-6. Sai Sudharsan once again led the charge, scoring a composed 63 off 41 balls. This was his second consecutive fifty, proving his consistency at the top. He has been anchoring the innings well, which makes him a dependable presence. Captain Shubman Gill has been getting starts but hasn’t converted them into a big score yet. Given his current form and the batting-friendly conditions, he looks due for a standout performance soon. Jos Buttler is another batter to keep an eye on. He’s already scored 54 (off 33) and 39 (off 24) in the tournament and appears set for another impactful knock of 30+ runs at number three. Gujarat’s main concern is their middle and lower order, which hasn’t looked convincing. If early wickets fall, they could be in trouble. Shahrukh Khan and Rahul Tewatia haven’t found their rhythm, and much will depend on how Impact Player Sherfane Rutherford handles the pressure in case of a collapse. Weather Conditions The pitch at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium has always been known to favour batters. The surface here tends to be rather flat, allowing batsmen to play through the line and smash big ones. Spinners do get some help in the middle overs, but since this is the first game of the season to be played at the venue, it is more likely to be a batting paradise with very little for the bowlers. The weather in Bengaluru will be slightly cloudy and cool during the evening, but there is no forecast of rain so we should get a full match. RCB vs GT Pitch Report The average score batting first at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is 168. However, you should expect a high-scoring game here. In IPL 2024, the Chinnaswamy stadium produced the highest team total in the league’s history – 287 by Sunrisers Hyderabad versus Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The team batting first would be eyeing a score of around 220-230 in this contest. Toss: To Bat Four of the last five IPL matches at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium have been won by the team batting first. This shows that the venue usually favors setting a target and batting first would be the better choice here.

Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :​​​​ Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : March 31, Monday π“πˆπŒπ„ : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai City, India π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : Indian Premier League, 2025 Kolkata Knight Riders beat Mumbai Indians both times the two teams met in IPL 2024, including once at Wankhede. Mumbai Indians 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. TEAMS PREVIEW Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians are off to a rough start this season, having lost both their matches and finding themselves at the lower end of the table in ninth place. Their latest setback came against Gujarat Titans, where they struggled to chase 197 and ended up with 160-6 in Ahmedabad. The batting unit, which is usually a strong point for MI, hasn’t quite clicked yet. Rohit Sharma is struggling for form, and there are no clear signs of a turnaround. Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma have looked promising at times but haven’t delivered a defining innings so far.  Hardik Pandya, meanwhile, found it tough to accelerate in the final overs against Gujarat, with slower cutters keeping him in checkβ€”something he will need to adjust to in upcoming games. On the bowling side, Mumbai have looked more settled. Deepak Chahar and Trent Boult will be relied upon to strike early, while Mitchell Santner and Mujeeb Ur Rahman are expected to keep things under control in the middle phase while picking up wickets.  Kolkata Knight Riders Preview After a disappointing start against RCB, Kolkata Knight Riders bounced back impressively, defeating Rajasthan Royals by 8 wickets. On a sluggish track in Guwahati, they kept Rajasthan to a modest 151-9 and comfortably chased it down in 17.3 overs. Quinton de Kock anchored the innings with a superb unbeaten 97 off 61 deliveries. De Kock’s return to form is a massive boost for KKR. He can take apart bowling attacks at the top and has the ability to bat deep. Having played plenty of cricket at Wankhede for MI, he knows the conditions well and averages 34 at this venue. Ajinkya Rahane could be another game-changer, given his experience here. He has piled up plenty of runs at this ground over the years.  KKR’s batting lineup has solid options, including Venkatesh Iyer, Andre Russell, and Rinku Singh. Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who is expected to come in as an Impact Player, has already caught attention with his impressive performances and could be a game-changer in the upcoming matches. Weather Conditions The pitch at the Wankhede Stadium is usually a flat deck with plenty of runs on offer. However, the ball does move around under lights and seamers will get assistance with the new ball in the first few overs. If batters can successfully negate that period, they can milk the bowling later on. Spinners usually don’t get much turn or grip here and since this will be a fresh pitch, expect it to be hard and the slower bowlers to be carted around. The weather in Mumbai will be extremely humid and warm, but clear of any rain interruptions.  MI vs KKR Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Wankhede Stadium is 170. The highest total posted at the venue in the IPL is 235-1 by RCB versus MI back in 2015. Last season, four scores over 200 were posted at the venue, with the highest being Mumbai Indians’ 234-5 versus Delhi Capitals.Β  Toss: To Bat Batting first is usually the safer option at Wankhede. In IPL 2024, four of the seven games played at the venue were won by the team batting first.

Lucknow Super Giants vs Punjab Kings, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :​​​​ Lucknow Super Giants vs Punjab Kings 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 01, Wednesday π“πˆπŒπ„ : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, India π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : Indian Premier League, 2025 Lucknow Super Giants have dominated Punjab Kings in the IPL, losing just one game against them while winning four. Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings 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. LSG vs PBKS Match Prediction & Analysis Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) take on Punjab Kings (PK) in the 13th match of IPL 2025 in Lucknow. LSG recovered well from a disappointing start, securing a solid victory in their second outing. Punjab Kings, on the other hand, made a strong statement with a dominant performance in their opening game, proving they’re a team to watch this season. With both sides eager to build momentum, this contest is shaping up to be a high-intensity clash. RECENT PERFORMANCE TEAMS PREVIEW Lucknow Super Giants Preview After a heartbreaking 1-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals in their opening game, Lucknow Super Giants made a strong comeback by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad on their home turf. They restricted the Sunrisers to a modest 190-9 and chased it down in just 16.1 overs. Nicholas Pooran was the standout performer, hammering 70 off just 26 balls and putting the game beyond Hyderabad’s reach within the first 10 overs. He has been in red-hot form for LSG, with his last five scores reading 48*(26), 61 (27), 75 (29), 75 (30), and 70 (26). Mitchell Marsh is another key player to keep an eye on. He smashed 52 off 31 in the last match, setting the foundation for the chase. If LSG wants to keep the momentum going, both Pooran and Marsh need to fire. Rishabh Pant and David Miller haven’t made a huge mark yet, but they’ve spent enough time at the crease to suggest a big knock might be coming soon. Lucknow’s bowling unit was impressive in their last outing. Shardul Thakur has been a game-changer, already picking up six wickets in two games. Young pacer Prince Yadav held his own, conceding just 29 runs in four overs while picking up a wicket. Ravi Bishnoi remains a potent threat in the middle overs and can change the course of a match in no time. Punjab Kings Preview Punjab Kings have only played one game so far but made a strong statement in that outing. They took down Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad, putting up a massive 243-5 and keeping the hosts to 232-5 in a high-scoring contest. Shreyas Iyer made an immediate impact for his new team, hammering an unbeaten 97 off just 42 balls. Priyansh Arya (47 off 23) and Shashank Singh (44* off 16) also made valuable contributions with the bat. Punjab’s batting lineup looks dangerous this season. With Shreyas at number three and the firepower of Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell in the middle order, they have a unit that can take apart any bowling attack. Shashank Singh, who played a quickfire knock in the opener, adds even more depth as a finisher. His ability to go hard from the start makes him a game-changer for Punjab. Weather Conditions The pitch at the Ekana Cricket Stadium won’t be an outright belter but it would be good for batting like most Indian surfaces. However, Ekana does tend to slow down in the middle overs, which brings the spinners into the mix. If dew sets in, however, spinners might struggle to grip the ball and go for runs. The weather in Lucknow will be warm and humid, but since there is no sign of rain, we will have a full match. LSG vs PBKS Pitch Report The average first innings score at the Ekana Cricket Stadium is 166. Last season, the highest score posted at the venue was Kolkata Knight Riders’ 235-6 versus Lucknow Super Giants, a game they won by 98 runs. That, incidentally, was the only 200+ score achieved at Ekana in IPL 2024 across 14 innings. Toss: To Bowl Chasing might be the better option at the Ekana Cricket Stadium as batting becomes easier in the second innings when dew sets in. In IPL 2024, four of the seven games played at this venue were won by the chasing side.

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :​​​​ Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : March 30, Sunday π“πˆπŒπ„ : 15:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Dr. Y.S.Rajashekar Reddy Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam, India π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : Indian Premier League, 2025 KL Rahul is expected to be available for Delhi Capitals against Sunrisers Hyderabad after missing their first game.  Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad 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. DC vs SRH Match Prediction & Analysis Delhi Capitals (DC) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) face off in the 10th match of IPL 2025 in Visakhapatnam. DC kicked off their campaign with a tight victory at this very venue, which should give them a morale boost. SRH, on the other hand, started strong but stumbled in their second outing with an unexpected home loss. They’ll be eager to bounce back, but Delhi won’t go down without a fight. This one promises to be a thrilling battle. RECENT PERFORMANCE TEAMS PREVIEW Delhi Capitals Preview Delhi Capitals kicked off their IPL 2025 campaign with a nail-biting victory over Lucknow Super Giants. Chasing 210 in Visakhapatnam, they found themselves struggling at 113-6 in 12.3 overs. But a stunning rescue act from Ashutosh Sharma (66* off 31) and young gun Vipraj Nigam (39 off 15) carried them over the line in the final over with just one wicket in hand. For their next game, Delhi will be looking for more from their top and middle order. Jake Fraser-McGurk, Faf du Plessis, and Abishek Porel couldn’t quite deliver in the previous match but have to do better here. Du Plessis has the experience to anchor an innings, but McGurk is unpredictableβ€”he’ll either blast a quickfire 40 or fall cheaply. On a positive note, KL Rahul is expected to return after missing the first game. His presence in the middle brings much-needed stability to a batting lineup that looks fragile. The team will also be counting on Ashutosh Sharma to continue his heroics as a finisher. Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview After a strong opening win against Rajasthan Royals, Sunrisers Hyderabad looked set to continue their scintillating form. However, their momentum was halted by an unexpected loss to an understrength Lucknow Super Giants. Batting first on a favorable Hyderabad surface, SRH could only manage 190-9, a total LSG chased down with ease in just 16.1 overs. Travis Head (47 off 28) was the only batter to get going, while the rest struggled, falling in quick succession while trying to attack every delivery. This is the risk of SRH’s high-risk approachβ€”when their top three fire, they can blow teams away with massive scores. But if they don’t, the batting collapses fast. Abhishek Sharma is a crucial player in this lineup. If he gets through the initial overs, he can take the game away. Heinrich Klaasen was unfortunate to be run out in the last match, and he looks due for a big innings this time. Weather Conditions This pitch tends to favor spinners, with the ball keeping low and making things tougher for batters in the second innings. That being said, recent matches at this venue have seen high totals, with batters making the most of favorable conditions. The weather will be hot and humid in the afternoon, but it will cool down a little during the evening. There is no forecast of rain so we will get a full match.  DC vs SRH Pitch Report Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium usually sees teams batting first put up around 168 runs. However, last season painted a different picture with the pitch offering plenty for the batters. The two matches played here saw first-innings scores soar to 191-5 and an astonishing 272-7. In IPL 2025’s first game at this ground, Lucknow Super Giants set a target of 209-8, but Delhi Capitals successfully chased it down in the final over. Both teams will be eyeing a score of over 200 runs in this match. If SRH bat first, however, even 250 can be breached.  Toss: To Bat This is an afternoon game, and batting first would be the preferred option for both teams.

New Zealand 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. NZ vs PAK Match Prediction & Analysis New Zealand won the T20I series 4-1 and were dominant across all four of their victories, proving to be way too strong for Pakistan in home conditions. Most pundits expect the hosts to be too strong once again in this ODI series but they should have tougher contests with the two top Pakistan players from this generation – Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam returning to the side. However, the ‘Men in Green’ will be without Haris Rauf and Shaheen Shah Afridi, arguably two of their top pace bowling options, who have not been selected in the squad for this leg of the tour. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview As with the T20Is, New Zealand will not be at full strength but they will still be able to put out a team full of talent and with plenty of experience in these home conditions in Napier. However, there is no place for keeper-batter Tim Seifert who top scored for New Zealand in the successful five-match T20I series earlier this month. In his place, we can expect the likes of captain Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman and Daryl Mitchell to be the main run-scorers in this first ODI with Bracewell, along with Jacob Duffy and Will O’Rourke spearheading the bowling attack. Consistent opener Will Young had been added to the squad but he has since pulled out due to paternity leave and Rhys Mariu is chomping at the bit to get his opportunity at international level for the first time. Pakistan Preview Most ODI sides in the world would benefit from the skills and consistency that Babar Azam and captain Mohammad Rizwan bring to a team and Pakistan will be no different in this game. However, Babar has not been in great form, being dismissed in the 20s in both of his last games but he did at least hit 64 runs against New Zealand in his last but one innings in this format. With Haris Rauf and Shaheen Shah Afridi vacating the scene, this game gives plenty of opportunities for some of the fringe players to make a name for themseves in this series. Pakistan do have the ability to win this game but it is their recent form across all formats which will be the most worrying. Weather Conditions There could be a short sharp shower at one stage in the early afteroon, but overall it will be very warm throughout this game in Napier on Saturday. NZ vs PAK Pitch Report Napier has always been one of those grounds where scoring runs is not all that difficult. The overhead conditions should make it more comfortable for the top order to contribute throughout the innings but we still expect to see New Zealand come out on top! Toss: To Bowl With plenty of opportunity for batting over the three ODIs, we predict that both teams will want to bat first ahead of this opening ODI of the series and try to bat the other team out of the game.

Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :​​​ Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : March 29, Saturdayπ“πˆπŒπ„ : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, India π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : Indian Premier League, 2025 Gujarat Titans have dominated Mumbai Indians at the Narendra Modi Stadium, winning all three matches played between them at this venue. Chennai Super Kings 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. GT vs MI Match Prediction & Analysis Gujarat Titans (GT) and Mumbai Indians (MI) will clash in the ninth match of IPL 2025 in Ahmedabad. Both sides are coming off losses in their first games and will be eager to grab their first points. The previous match at this venue saw over 450 runs being scored in 40 overs, and a similar high-scoring contest is expected. The team that attacks with the bat more aggressively is likely to gain the upper hand on this batting-friendly surface. TEAMS PREVIEW Gujarat Titans Preview Gujarat Titans started their campaign with a tough 11-run loss to Punjab Kings. The Narendra Modi Stadium played host to a run-fest, with Punjab smashing 243-5 after being sent in to bat. Gujarat fought hard in reply but couldn’t get over the line. Sai Sudharsan (74 off 41) and Jos Buttler (54 off 33) were the bright spots with the bat. Shubman Gill also got off to a fast start but couldn’t convert it into a big score. However, his record at this venue is outstandingβ€”he has nearly 1,000 runs in 19 matches at the venue, including three centuries. Gill will be expected to step up in this game. GT’s lower middle order looks unreliable, with Shahrukh Khan, Sai Kishore, and Arshad Khan filling those slots. If Gujarat loses wickets early, they could be in serious trouble. Bowling is another area of concern. Mohammed Siraj struggled in the previous fixture, conceding 54 runs in his four-over spell. Kagiso Rabada is their most reliable pacer, but he can’t do it alone. Rashid Khan also had an off day, going for 48 runs in his four overs. The only standout was Sai Kishore, who picked up three wickets for 30. Gujarat’s bowling needs to step up, or they’ll have a tough time in the tournament. Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians didn’t have the best start to their IPL 2025 campaign, falling short in their opener against Chennai Super Kings. The low-scoring match at Chepauk saw Mumbai struggle on a sluggish pitch, with Tilak Varma’s 31 being the highest contribution. The final total of 155-9 wasn’t enough, as CSK chased it down without much trouble. Ahmedabad’s conditions, however, should be far more favorable for Mumbai’s batting lineup. With players like Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton, Will Jacks, and Suryakumar Yadav, they’ll be eager to make an impact on a pitch suited for stroke play. Adding to their strength is the return of captain Hardik Pandya, who had to sit out the first game due to an over-rate penalty from the previous season. Having played for Gujarat in 2022 and 2023, Pandya knows this surface inside out and can contribute with both bat and ball. Mumbai’s bowling attack will look to make early inroads with Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar leading the charge. Left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner is expected to control the run flow in the middle overs while also providing wicket-taking opportunities. Meanwhile, young left-arm wrist-spinner Vignesh Puthur, who impressed with 3-32 on debut, could again play a crucial role. Weather Conditions The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium will be a flat deck. In the previous game here, we saw batters making merry and hitting through the line with ease. There is hardly any assistance for fast bowlers and both teams will be looking to make as many runs as possible off them. Spinners will find some grip in the middle, but it won’t be much of an issue. The pitch will stay true throughout. The weather in Ahmedabad will be warm and clear with no forecast of rain. GT vs MI Pitch Report In the previous game played at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Punjab Kings amassed 243-5 after batting first and Gujarat Titans scored 232-5 in response – that’s a total of 475 runs in 40 overs! Expect another run-fest at the venue with more than 420 runs on the cards.  Toss: To Bat In the previous game played at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the team batting first registered a comfortable win. Batting first, hence, seems to be to safer option here.

CSK vs RCB Match Prediction & Analysis Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) lock horns in what promises to be a thrilling battle at the MA Chidambaram Stadium for match eight of IPL 2025. Both teams head into this clash with confidence after securing wins in their opening games. While CSK have often had the upper hand in past encounters, RCB appear more well-rounded this season. Expect a high-intensity showdown with both sides pushing for an early edge in the tournament. TEAMS PREVIEW Chennai Super Kings Preview Chennai Super Kings (CSK) kicked off their IPL 2025 campaign with a solid win over long-time rivals Mumbai Indians. Playing on a typical slow Chepauk surface, their spinners kept MI in check, limiting them to 155-9. The chase wasn’t without hiccups, but CSK reached the target with four wickets in hand and five balls remaining. Rachin Ravindra anchored the innings with a composed 65 off 45 deliveries, while skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad provided early momentum with a brisk 53 off 26. Apart from their contributions, the batting lineup struggled, yet the team managed to get the job done. CSK will once again count on strong starts from Rachin and Gaikwad. Gaikwad, in particular, has a great record at Chepauk and will be counted on to deliver.  Shivam Dube is expected to take on RCB’s spinners in the middle phase, while Vijay Shankar could be considered in place of Deepak Hooda to stabilize the middle order. Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview Royal Challengers Bengaluru made a strong statement in their season opener, pulling off a convincing win against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders on their own turf. They kept KKR to 174-8 and then chased it down comfortably in 16.2 overs, losing only three wickets along the way. Bengaluru delivered in all departments, with Philip Salt (56 off 31) and Virat Kohli (59* off 36) putting on a batting masterclass at the top to make things easy in the chase. Rajat Patidar played his part as well, smashing 34 off just 16 balls to seal the victory. Their top order looks solid with Kohli, Salt, Patidar, and Liam Livingstone, while Jitesh Sharma, Tim David, and Krunal Pandya provide depth in the middle and lower order. Josh Hazlewood could be a game-changer for RCB this season. The Australian pacer was outstanding against KKR, picking up 2-22, and will enjoy bowling at Chepauk. Krunal Pandya’s 3-29 played a decisive role in the previous match, making him a key asset on slower tracks. RCB will also count on Suyash Sharma, Livingstone, and Yash Dayal to pick up wickets in the middle overs. Weather Conditions Chepauk will offer a spin-friendly surface as we saw in the first game here, which becomes slower in the second innings. Batters will look to maximize the powerplay overs because once the ball loses its shine, it will start to turn and grip more. Spinners will have a field day and are likely to bowl the maximum number of overs.  The weather in Chennai will be hot and humid but clear. CSK vs RCB Pitch Report Chepauk’s average first-innings score is 159. In the first match of IPL 2025 played at the venue, MI scored 155-9 after batting first, and CSK chased the target down in 19.1 overs with four wickets in hand. Expect another slowish surface with plenty of assistance to spinners. The team batting first will target a score of around 170-180 to feel confident. Toss: To Bat Batting first is usually the better option at Chepauk, unless the team is bundled out for a below-par score. The wicket slows down over time, making it harder to chase later in the game.

SRH vs LSG Match Prediction & Analysis The seventh game of IPL 2025 will see Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Hyderabad. The Sunrisers have started their campaign with a bang and are looking like one of the most dangerous sides in the tournament. The injury-riddled Lucknow, meanwhile, lost an agonizingly close game to Delhi Capitals the other night and will be ruing their missed opportunities.  TEAMS PREVIEW Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview Sunrisers Hyderabad began their IPL 2025 campaign with a comprehensive 44-run win over Rajasthan Royals at Hyderabad. On a flat road of a wicket, SRH blasted 286-6 in their 20 overs – the second-highest IPL team total ever – courtesy of spectacular performances by  Ishan Kishan (106* off 47) and Travis Head (67 off 31).  This will be the template for this power-packed SRH side throughout this season – they will blow away their opponents with a relentless assault and massive scores. And they have the tools to pull this off as well with the dangerous Abhishek Sharma and Head at the top, followed by the equally destructive Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen in the middle. To top it off, they also have Nitish Reddy to balance things out in case of a collapse. Lucknow Super Giants Preview Lucknow Super Giants suffered a heartbreaking loss in their opening IPL 2025 encounter to Delhi Capitals. Batting first at Visakhapatnam, they put on a healthy 209-8 with sparkling fifties from Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran. They had Delhi reeling at 65-5 at one stage and were looking all set for victory before Ashutosh Sharma stole the game away from them to clinch a 1-wicket victory for the Capitals. Lucknow would be ruing their missed chances in the game. They were 161-2 at one stage from 13.3 overs but a batting collapse meant they ended up much below what they could have achieved. The likes of Rishabh Pant, Ayush Badoni, and David Miller will need to step up in this game.  Weather Conditions The pitch at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium will be a flat deck. It’s a bowler’s graveyard with virtually no movement or grip on offer. The ball will come at a nice height and pace for the batters to just smash through the line. Plus, the short boundaries here will mean plenty of fours and sixes throughout. The weather in Hyderabad will be warm and humid, but there is no forecast of rain, so we will get a full game. SRH vs LSG Pitch Report In the first IPL 2025 match played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Sunrisers Hyderabad blasted 286-6 after batting first against Rajasthan Royals, who themselves scored 242-6 in the chase. This shows this will be another high-scoring game. If SRH bat first here, they will be targeting another 250+ score – even 300 is on the cards with their batting! If Lucknow bat first, they will be eyeing a score of around 2220-230 here. Toss: To Bat Win the toss and bat first should be the way to go in the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. As we saw in the first match here, it is a great batting track and teams batting first can post huge scores to kill the game there itself.

New Zealand Women vs Australia Women, NZ-W vs AUS-W 2025, Today Match Prediction

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :​ New Zealand Women vs Australia Women ​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : March 26, Wednesdayπ“πˆπŒπ„ : 07:15 AM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Sky Stadium, Wellington, New Zealand π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : 3rdT20 2025 Australia Women target a clean-sweep in the third and final T20I against New Zealand women on Wednesday. New Zealand Women vs Australia 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. NZW vs AUSW Match Prediction & Analysis Australia Women have been the dominant force in cricket over the last three decades and their record over New Zealand Women is also nothing short of dominant in that time! As such, there has been no great surprise from either team management or supporters that Australia Women have dominated both of the first two T20Is so far in this series. All against the backdrop of New Zealand Women being the T20 World Champions and hosting this three game series! With the series already in the bag ahead of this final act in Wellington at the Sky Stadium, New Zealand Women will be playing for pride but getting a win will be a very tough assignment as Australia Women do not like to give any team a rest. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview As one-sided games of T20 cricket go, the second T20I at Mount Maunganui was one where New Zealand Women never looked like winning. By the time the second over was completed, New Zealand Women had conceded 22 runs without taking a wicket and the narrative for the game was well and truly in place. Of the bowling unit, only Jess Kerr (1/39), Amelia Kerr (1/27) and Suzie Bates (0/16) managed to keep their economy rates in single figures and it could well be that skipper Bates chooses to introduce Amelia Kerr into the bowling attack much earlier this time around. With the bat, chasing 205 was always going to be a tough ask but the White Ferns made a go of it with all of the top three, Bates, Georgia Plimmer and Kerr scoring runs with strike-rates between 111.11 and 171.42. Australia Preview The mark of any strong side is one who get the upper-hand early on and then never let it go and this is exactly what Australia Women did in the second T20I against New Zealand Women with a brilliant batting display which then made life very easy for their bowlers! Once again, opening the innings, keeper-batter Beth Mooney was a class apart and too good for New Zealand Women’s bowlers. After she took the Player of the Match Award with 75 not out from 42 balls on Friday, she produced nearly a carbon copy of the innings with 70 runs from 42 balls before she was dismissed by Amelia Kerr. Mooney will have her eye on bringing up 200+ runs in the series with another big score to conclude the three games but the whole batting line-up is very strong as seen by Ellyse Perry hitting 29 not out from 15 balls at number four and Annabel Sutherland finishing the innings with 23 not out from 15 deliveries. Weather Conditions It will be a pleasant day in Wellington with no danger of rain and the temperature no higher than 20 degrees during the contest. Humidity levels will be constant at around 70% from start to finish. NZW vs AUSW Pitch Report There is always good bounce and pace in the wicket at the Sky Stadium which means the batters can play their shots without any worries of misbehaviour from the surface. Whoever bats first will be targeting a total of 180+. Toss: To Bowl From 2019 onwards there have been two victories for the team batting first and two wins for the team fielding first at the Sky Stadium in Women’s T20I games. The conditions are unlikely to change much across the afternoon of the match so we predict that both teams will want to bowl first then chase.

Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :​ Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : March 26, Wednesdayπ“πˆπŒπ„ : 19:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati, India π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : IPLT20 2025 Big test for the Royals’ bowlers after mayhem in the first game  Rajasthan Royals 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. RR vs KKR Match Prediction & Analysis The Indian Premier League 2025 has got off to a flying start. As we head into the second round of games, the Rajasthan Royals will take on the Kolkata Knight Riders in the 6th match. Both teams have lost their opening games and shall start the game under immense pressure. The Rajasthan Royals lost to the Sunrisers Hyderabad after a poor bowling performance, while the Kolkata Knight Riders lost against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.  The Rajasthan Royals will be under pressure in this game after conceding 286 runs against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. The bowling attack lacks the biting teeth, which puts the team under pressure. The Kolkata Knight Riders have a strong bowling attack with two of the best spinners in the tournament. It is a must-win game for both teams to get their campaign back on track, and we expect a thrilling contest.  TEAMS PREVIEW Rajasthan Royals Preview It was an absolute carnage for Riyan Parag and his men in the last game against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. The bowling attack went for a leather hunt, conceding 286 runs, the second-highest score in the IPL. Parag would like to draw a few positives from the strong counter-attack by his batters but needs a better performance from his bowling unit to win this game.  Sanju Samson was in his full flow in the last game, and he will look to deliver an electrifying start in this game with Yashasvi Jaiswal. Riyan Parag and Nitish Rana missed out in the last game and will look to build partnerships in the middle order with Dhruv Jurel, who played a good knock. Shimron Hetmyer and Shubham Dubey are good strikers, and the team expects quick runs in the lower middle order.  The bowling attack was taken to the cleaners in the last game and needs to rethink its strategy and approach. Fazalhaq Farooqi and Maheesh Theekshana must strike early and keep the scoring rate under check. Jofra Archer must overcome his poor show in the last game and bowl better lines in the middle overs with Sandeep Sharma. The team needs Nitish Rana and Tushar Deshpande to do well in the supporting roles. Kolkata Knight Riders Preview Ajinkya Rahane and his men would look to put the upset in the last game against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. They made 20 runs less than the par score on that wicket and didn’t trouble the RCB batters with the ball. Their opponents struggled with the ball in the last game, and Rahane would like to exploit and earn their first points for the season.    Quinton de Kock missed out on the last game and must have delivered a good start with Sunil Narine, who looked in good form. Ajinkya Rahane batted well in the last game and must do well in the middle order with Venkatesh Iyer and Angkrish Raghuvanshi. Rinku Singh and Andre Russell failed in the last game, and the team expects a good show from them in the lower middle order.  The bowling attack didn’t hit its mark in the last game. Vaibhav Arora and Spencer Johnson struggled with the new ball, and they will look to bowl better lines in the next game. Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy are key bowlers for the team, and they must do well in middle overs. Harshit Rana and Andre Russell must deliver strong performances in the supporting roles. Weather Conditions We expect clear skies over Guwahati and a flat batting surface where batsmen can score easily. Bowlers have their chances on this surface as it occasionally surprises the batters. The average first-inning score has been around 171 runs, and the team batting first would be happy to have 190 runs on the board. RR vs KKR Pitch Report Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati, is large and not the easiest venue for scoring big. Fast bowlers get assistance from the surface early in the game. Batsmen who build their innings have done well. Spinners, who turn the ball sharply, have done well at this venue. Toss: To Bowl The conditions are challenging for the batsmen initially, but they ease as the game progresses. Teams chasing scores have won more games at this venue in the past. Both captains will take a cue from the past results and look to bowl first.
