Bangladesh vs New Zealand TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. BAN vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis One of the joys of an ICC Champions Trophy tournament is that things move very quickly. Even in the group stage, lose once and your place in the semi-finals is immediately in danger – lose twice and you may as well hail a taxi straight to the airport! That’s the situation Bangladesh are hoping to avoid after their six wicket loss to tournament-favourites India on Thursday. But this will be a very tough clash for them against the in-form Black Caps. And if Bangladesh do lose, it could mean that their final group stage match against Pakistan becomes something of a dead rubber. TEAMS PREVIEW Bangladesh Preview After finding themselves 35/5 inside nine overs in their opening game against India, Bangladesh could have been forgiven for throwing the towel in and getting the game over and done with at the earliest opportunity. But instead, they showed admirable tenacity and resolve to rebuild the innings and posted 228 all out which kept them in the game. Crucial to the rebuild were Towhid Hridoy (100 runs from 118 balls) and Jaker Ali (68 runs from 114 balls) but in this game against New Zealand, the Tigers need the top four of Tanzid Hasan, Soumya Sarkar, captain Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mehidy Hasan Miraz to step up. Crucially, the latter three have all done it on the big stage before so there is some hope! With the ball, spinners Richad Hossain and Miraz were both treated with respect by the Indian batters and they should be a threat again in this fixture. As will the pacers Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman, both of who have the ability to knock over the best in the world. New Zealand Preview The greatest surprise from New Zealand’s convincing victory over hosts and reigning champions Pakistan in Karachi on Wednesday was that anyone was in anyway surprised! The Black Caps not only regularly turn-up at these marquee ICC events but have also been playing excellent cricket, while winning all their games, since arriving in Pakistan at the start of the month. A problem for all teams against Mitchell Santner’s side is that all of their batters have now made big scores over the duration of this tour. And if that wasn’t a problem, Rachin Ravindra will soon be fit to push his claims in the batting line-up as well. Will Young and Tom Latham both come into this match after hitting centuries on Wednesday. Matt Henry continues to be one of the most consistently top performing pace bowlers in world cricket and Will O’Rourke is not far behind with his bounce causing particular issues. New Zealand also have excellent spin options in Michael Bracewell and captain Santner! Weather Conditions The forecast is for a cloudy day throughout Monday in Rawalpindi with the temperature beginning at 18 degrees. It may get up to 23 at some stage before dipping back down to around 18 by the close. BAN vs NZ Pitch Report This has always been a good batting strip in Rawalpindi and it would be a surprise if the team batting first did not post a total of at least 330. Expect good pace, bounce and carry. Toss: To Bowl Although this will be the first ODI in Rawalpindi for nearly two years, four of the last five have been won by the team chasing. Therefore, our prediction is that both captains will be looking to bowl first on Monday.

Zimbabwe vs Ireland, IRE vs ZIM 2025, Today Match Prediction

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :​​ Zimbabwe vs Ireland​​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 23, Sundayπ“πˆπŒπ„ : 17:00 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Harare Sports Club, Harare, Zimbabweβ€‹π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : 2nd T20 2025 Zimbabwe’s big test after a poor batting show in the first game  Zimbabwe vs Ireland 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 IRE Match Prediction & Analysis The three-match T20i series has started on a sour note. The poor weather cut down the game, which was finally abandoned after the first innings. With this, the series is now a two-match affair, and both teams will look to take an unassailable lead. Both teams will look to put their best foot forward in this game.   Ireland has dominated Zimbabwe in the last few years and has won the last two games between the two teams. They have a more explosive batting lineup and shall look to take full advantage of it. Zimbabweans have a poor record at Harare, and it will be interesting to see if the team can overcome this.  TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview Sikandar Raza’s team had a scare in the last game. It was a lucky escape for the team as they didn’t have much on the scoreboard to defend when rain came to their rescue. The Zimbabwean skipper would like his players to draw inspiration from their good shows in the ODIs. They must play to their strengths and fully use the home advantage.   Brian Bennett has batted well in the last few games and will aim to set up a big partnership with Tadiwanashee Marumani. Raza must do well in the middle order and build partnerships with Wesley Madhevere and Ryan Burl. Tony Munyonga and Tashinga Musekiwa must do well in the finishers’ role. Richard Ngarava and Blessing Muzarabani know the conditions well, and the pair must get the early breakthroughs to put the Irish team under pressure. Wellington Masakadza and Trevor Gwandu must bowl well in the middle overs, as their opponents have a strong batting lineup. Raza and Ryan Burl add depth to the attack. Ireland Preview Paul Stirling and his men will be upset with the outcome of the last game. They had restricted Zimbabwe to a small total in the game and could have won with their batting firepower. Stirling would like his men to pull out their best performance in this game and take an unassailable lead in the series.  Paul Stirling will look to lead from the front and deliver a strong start with Lorcan Tucker, as their opponents have a strong pace attack. Harry Tector and Curtis Campher are experienced batters and want to add runs in the middle order with Neil Rock. George Dockrell and Gareth Delany must add quick runs in the lower middle order.  The team will expect a good start in this game from Graham Hume and Craig Young after their good show in the last game. Joshua Little is the key bowler in this attack and will look to do well in the middle overs with Curtis Campher. The side will also like tight bowling from Benjamin White and Gareth Delany. Weather Conditions There would be cloudy skies 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 IRE 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 of the game, and chasing the score puts the team at an advantage in rain-affected contests. The side winning the toss here would like to bowl first.

Pakistan vs India, ICCCT, Today Match Prediction

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :​​ Pakistan vs India​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 23, Sundayπ“πˆπŒπ„ : 14:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : 5th ODI 2025 The momentum clearly favors India heading into this clash, with four wins from their last five ODI outings. Pakistan’s recent form tells a different story, as they’ve stumbled in three of their previous five matches in this format. Pakistan vs India TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. PAK vs IND Match Prediction & Analysis The biggest rivalry in cricket takes center stage this Sunday at Dubai, as India and Pakistan lock horns in what promises to be an explosive Champions Trophy encounter. India come into this matchup riding high after outplaying Bangladesh in their opening game, while Pakistan are looking to regroup following a heavy defeat to New Zealand. Recent history in this format tilts heavily in India’s favor, and with their current hot streak, they’re tipped to come out on top in this high-voltage clash. TEAMS PREVIEW Pakistan Preview Pakistan’s Champions Trophy campaign started on the worst possible note, suffering a heavy defeat against New Zealand on home soil. The Kiwis, after being in trouble at 73-3, recovered brilliantly to post a commanding 320-5. In response, Pakistan struggled to keep up with the required rate and folded for 260. The loss exposed Pakistan’s issues in all areas, and they will need a much-improved effort to challenge India. Adding to their concerns, they will now be without Fakhar Zaman, who has been ruled out due to injury. Imam-ul-Haq has been called in as his replacement for the remainder of the tournament. India Preview India began their Champions Trophy run with a solid six-wicket win over Bangladesh. After bowling out their opponents for 228 on a sluggish pitch, they chased the target down in 46.3 overs. While there were some tense moments, Shubman Gill’s unbeaten 101 ensured a smooth finish, with KL Rahul (41* off 47) and Rohit Sharma (41 off 36) contributing crucial runs. Looking ahead, India will be hoping for more stability from their middle order, which has had a habit of losing wickets cheaply before the lower order bails them out. Virat Kohli’s form is another concern, but his track record in big matches and a career average of 52.15 against Pakistan make him a player to watch. Shubman Gill’s recent performances make him India’s most in-form batter at the moment, having scored two centuries and four straight 50+ scores. KL Rahul, who looked fluent in the last game, is also expected to play an important role. Weather Conditions The Dubai pitch showed a sluggish character in the match between India and Bangladesh, with the surface looking dry and slightly cracked. Early moisture might help seamers in the first hour, but expect the pitch to slow down considerably as the game progresses. The ball’s likely to grip and turn for spinners, particularly in the middle overs. Batting second could be tricky under lights, with dew playing a minimal role.  The weather in Dubai will be warm, pleasant, and clear with absolutely no chance of any rain interruption. PAK vs IND Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is just 219, showing that this isn’t a high-scoring venue. We reckon a score of around 260-270 by the team batting first will be challenging to chase.  Toss: To Bat Teams batting second at Dubai International Cricket Stadium have found success recently, winning five of the previous six ODIs at this venue. But the sticky wicket we witnessed in the last match might change tactics – both sides will likely prefer setting a target rather than chasing on this tricky surface.

Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, India π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ : Womens Premier League, 2025 Delhi Capitals Women have dominated UP Warriorz Women in the Women’s Premier League, winning four out of their five encounters. Delhi Capitals Women vs UP Warriorz 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. DCW vs UPW Match Prediction & Analysis Match eight of the 2025 Women’s Premier League brings us to the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium where Delhi Capitals Women meet UP Warriorz Women. Fresh from beating UP earlier this week, Delhi jumped to second place with that convincing victory. Things look bleak for UP though – they’re stuck at the bottom after dropping their last two matches. Given how both teams are playing, Delhi looks well-placed to come out on top again. TEAMS PREVIEW Delhi Capitals Preview Delhi Capitals Women have had a strong campaign so far, winning two out of their three games. Their most recent outing saw them secure a comfortable 7-wicket victory over UP Warriorz Womenβ€”who they’ll be facing again nextβ€”successfully chasing down a 167-run target with one delivery to spare. Skipper Meg Lanning anchored the chase with a fluent 69 off 49 balls, while Annabel Sutherland (41* off 35) and Marizanne Kapp (29* off 17) provided valuable support to see the team home. Lanning, Sutherland, and Kapp will be the core of Delhi’s batting order, and their performances will be key in the upcoming matches. One of them is likely to deliver another match-winning innings in the next game. Meanwhile, Jemimah Rodrigues has had a quiet start to the season, but given her class, a turnaround could be on the cards soon. On the bowling front, Sutherland has been Delhi’s most consistent performer, picking up five wickets in three matches at an economy of 8.50. Shikha Pandey and Minnu Mani have also chipped in with five wickets between them, and their contributions could be crucial in shaping the outcome of future games. UP Warriorz Preview UP Warriorz Women are struggling to find their rhythm this season, having suffered back-to-back losses, with their latest defeat coming against Delhi Capitals. The next few games give them a chance to regroup and work their way back into form. Kiran Navgire has been the standout performer with the bat, leading the team’s scoring charts with 66 runs in two innings at a blistering strike rate of 188.57. Shweta Sehrawat has chipped in with 53 runs across two matches, providing stability in the middle order. Deepti Sharma has added 46 runs so far and will be expected to deliver key contributions when needed. Sophie Ecclestone has led the bowling attack well, picking up three wickets in two outings while keeping her economy rate at 5.87. Grace Harris and Tahlia McGrath have found wickets too, but they’ll need to be sharper to contain Delhi’s batters. Weather Conditions The Chinnaswamy pitch shows a nice covering of grass but looks hard underneath – perfect for batters to play their shots. Expect good bounce and carry throughout. While spinners might not get much help, pacers could exploit some early movement under lights. The outfield is lightning quick as usual. Expect pleasant conditions in Bengaluru during the game with no chances of disruptions because of rain. DCW vs UPW Pitch Report Average first innings scores at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium hover around 150-160 runs, with dew likely to play a role later. The highest total posted at the venue is RCB Women’s 198-3 versus UP Warriorz Women, a game they won by 23 runs. Toss: To Bowl Teams batting second have found consistent success at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium. The numbers back this up – in last year’s Women’s Premier League, the chasing side walked away with wins in seven out of 11 matches here. Expect both teams to opt for bowling first if they win the toss.

ZIM vs IRE Match Prediction & Analysis Zimbabwe and Ireland switch gears from ODIs to T20Is this weekend, kicking off an exciting three-match series at Harare. Fresh off their 2-1 ODI triumph, the home team will look to keep their momentum going in the shorter format. But T20 cricket brings its own unpredictable nature, giving both sides a fresh chance at success. With Sikandar Raza leading the charge for Zimbabwe and Paul Stirling marshaling his Irish troops, we’re in for some explosive cricket as Ireland aims to bounce back from their recent setbacks. TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview Zimbabwe are set for the T20I series with a well-balanced squad that includes both experienced players and up-and-coming talents. Brian Bennett and Dion Myers are expected to lead the charge at the top, bringing stability while also keeping the scoreboard moving. In the middle order, Wessly Madhevere and Sikandar Raza add reliability. Raza, in particular, has been in excellent form, averaging 40 against Ireland in T20Is, making him a key figure in the middle overs. As for the bowling, Richard Ngarava and Blessing Muzarabani will take charge with the new ball. Both pacers are well-versed in these conditions and could make life difficult for Ireland’s top order. Ireland Preview Ireland will be eager to bounce back in the T20Is after falling short in the ODI series. Their form in 20-over matches has been inconsistentβ€”they managed to hold South Africa to a 1-1 draw at home but also suffered unexpected setbacks, including a loss to Canada in last year’s T20 World Cup. To improve their chances, Ireland’s batting lineup needs to deliver. Paul Stirling, Harry Tector, and George Dockrell have the ability to put up big scores. Stirling, in particular, has an excellent record against Zimbabwe with a T20I average of 40.70. Curtis Campher and Lorcan Tucker will be crucial in the middle order, whether that means accelerating the run rate or steadying things if early wickets fall. On the bowling side, Mark Adair and Graham Hume are expected to play major roles in taking wickets, with Adair’s ability to extract movement off the pitch making him a threat. Josh Little and Matthew Humphreys could also make an impact as wicket-taking options for Ireland. Weather Conditions The Harare Sports Club pitch presents a balanced surface. We are likely to see a firm track with consistent bounce. Short boundaries square of the wicket will encourage aggressive batting, though spinners could find some grip in the middle overs. The outfield is quick and well-maintained. The weather will be cloudy with chances of a couple of showers and a thunderstorm in the afternoon and later. ZIM vs IRE Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Harare Sports Club is 157. The highest score posted here is India’s 234-2 against Zimbabwe in 2024.  Toss: To Bowl Due to the forecast of cloudy skies and the possibility of rain in the afternoon, it is likely that both teams will opt to field first in the hope of getting early wickets.

Australia 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. AUS vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis Whenever Australia and England go head to head in any sport, there is plenty at stake and this game will be no different as both look to get off to a winning start in Group B of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy. There is an Ashes series on the horizon for late in the year but all focus will be on this clash in Lahore as both sides look to put poor recent ODI performances and poor ICC Champions Trophy showing behind them. Australia may have won the last Cricket World Cup but they are without their top three pace bowlers in Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood so their attack may lack some of it’s usual potency. TEAMS PREVIEW Australia Preview After dominating the Test series and winning 2-0, the boot was on the other foot in the ODI series as Australia were beaten 2-0 without putting up a fight on their recent tour to Sri Lanka. As a result, Steven Smith’s side must raise their game ahead of this clash even if their opponents are also in disappointing form. For a proud cricketing nation like Australia, their recent record in the ICC Champions Trophy, where they haven’t won a game since 2009, make for painful reading, so they will be looking to their experienced heads to get them through this opener. Top of that list will be Travis Head who has an exceptional ODI record against England and captain Smith who has hit over 17,000 international runs. England Preview England have been a very disappointing ODI side since they won the 2019 Cricket World Cup courtesy of the now famous Super-Over against New Zealand at Lord’s. But with Brendan McCullum leading the side, hopes are high that they could find some form from nowhere and dominate this tournament with an aggressive batting style. Key to the team will be opener Ben Duckett who has just recovered from an injury but has an excellent record in this format, particularly against Australia. Phil Salt will take on the role of ‘pinch hitter’ and will look to clear the boundary at every opportunity in the powerplay. With the ball, Adil Rashid has a strong record against Australia and the pace of Jofra Archer is always a point of difference across any format, particularly when he is fully fit. Weather Conditions The forecast is for pleasant weather in Lahore throughout Saturday with the temperature up at 22 degrees from the first ball. Although this is a day-nighter, the temperature will not drop below 19 degrees.  AUS vs ENG Pitch Report As seen in the recently completed Pakistan Tri-Nation Series, this is a good batting wicket with players generally finding it easy to score runs at a steady pace outside of the powerplay. A par score will be around 350. Toss: To Bat There is an even spread of victories for teams batting first and bowling first in recent 50-over internationals at the Gaddafi Stadium. Humidity levels will increase in the second half of the game so we predict that both sides will want to bat first on Saturday.

RCBW vs MIW Match Prediction & Analysis We are all set for an exciting Women’s Premier League 2025 contest. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women will be up against the Mumbai Indians Women in the 8th game as both teams look to extend their dominance. The Royal Challengers defeated the Delhi Capitals Women in their last game. The Mumbai Indians Women also enter this contest with a win against the Gujarat Giants Women.   The two teams have shared a close rivalry. In the five games between the two teams, the Mumbai Indians Women have won on three occasions. They have a strong batting lineup and shall look to leverage this strength. RCB Women won’t have their opponents have it easy in this game. With both teams looking in good form, we expect this contest to go down the wire. TEAMS PREVIEW Royal Challengers Bangalore Preview Smriti Mandhana’s team has picked up steam. They have won back-to-back games and look confident. The side defeated the Delhi Capitals Women in the last game by 8 wickets. The batting lineup is doing well, and the bowling attack has also troubled the batters. They face their toughest opponents in this game, and Mandhana wants to see a good show from her players.   Smriti Mandhana led from the front in the last game and set up a 107-run stand with Danielle Wyatt-Hodge. The pair will look to deliver a similar start in this game. Richa Ghosh is in good form, and she will look to add runs in the middle order with Ellyse Perry and Raghvi Bist. The team expects a good show in the lower middle order from Kanika Ahuja and Georgia Wareham.   Mumbai Indians Preview Harmanpreet Kaur’s team made a strong comeback in their second game after losing the first. The bowling attack performed brilliantly in the last game against the Gujarat Giants Women to set up a 5-wicket win. Their opponents are riding great form coming into this game, and Kaur would like to have her players on their toes to win and move up on the points table.   Hayley Matthews and Yastika Bhatia haven’t found their form yet, and the team expects them to deliver a good start. Nat Sciver-Brunt is enjoying sublime form and will look to do well in the middle order with Harmanpreet Kaur and Amelia Kerr. G Kamalini, Amanjot Kaur and Sanjeevan Sajana add depth to the batting lineup.      The team will expect a strong show in this game from Shabnim Ismail and Nat Sciver-Brunt after their good show against the Gujarat Giants. Hayley Matthews was the best bowler for the team in the last game and will look to do well in the middle overs with Amelia Kerr. Parunika Sisodia and Amanjot Kaur strengthen the attack with their variety. Weather Conditions We expect another warm evening in Bengaluru. The flat wicket is easy for the batters. There is very little assistance for the bowlers. The average first innings score at this venue is 153 runs. The side batting first would need a minimum of 170 runs to feel safe on this track. RCBW vs MIW Pitch Report A placid pitch, fast outfield, and shorter boundaries make M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, one of the best T20 venues in the world. We have seen several high-scoring encounters at this venue, and batters find it easy to play on this surface where there is little support for the bowlers. Toss: To Bowl The side chasing the score has won four out of the last five games. The surface tends to be slower at the start and setting up a total here isn’t easy. Sides have chased big totals at this venue. Both teams would take a cue from their previous results and opt to bowl first.

Their team led by Rohit Sharma is set to kick off their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 campaign against Bangladesh at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai on 20th February from 2:30 pm onwards. India had their hands on the trophy back in 2013 under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. They lost to their arch-rivals Pakistan in the last edition which was held in 2017. India is set to miss Jaspreet Bumrah due to a back injury. Harshit Rana has been called into the squad as his replacement.

Pakistan vs New Zealand TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. TEAMS PREVIEW Pakistan Preview Pakistan may not be playing their best cricket at the moment but they are still a side who are packed with match-winners and top international players. Right-handed opener Babar Azam may not be in the best form of his career but he recently went past 6000 ODI runs and a player of his class will find form again at some point. Fortunately his opening partner, Fakhar Zaman, is hitting the ball cleanly and will be confident coming into this game. Pakistan’s most consistent batters in this format are skipper Mohammed Rizwan and Salman Agha who will bat at four and five. Between the pair, they have scored almost 60% of their team’s runs in their last two ODIs. New Zealand Preview New Zealand were without Lockie Ferguson, Ben Sears, Matt Henry and Rachin Ravindra for the final of the Pakistan Tri-Nation Series but still had more than enough in the locker to win the final against Pakistan on Sunday. Ahead of this opener, the mood-music is that only Matt Henry will return to the XI with Rachin Ravindra not far away but not worth risking at this stage. In the batting department, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson, Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips have all made big scores on this trip and every New Zealand side always has batting depth. With the ball, the returning Henry will lead the attack with Michael Bracewell alongside Mitchell Santner providing vital control with accurate spin bowling. Weather Conditions The game will get underway at 14:00 local time, the hottest time of the day with the sun blaring out and the temperature at 29 degrees. Even after sundown, it will still be over 24 degrees in Karachi throughout the evening. PAK vs NZ Pitch Report Sunday’s final of the Pakistan Tri-Nation Series showed that there is something for both the batters and bowlers. No batter made a score of over 57 and it was Pakistan’s 242 which was easily overhauled by New Zealand with 28 balls and five wickets in hand. A par total looks to be around 300 on a pitch with consistent bounce. Toss: To Bat Of the last ten ODIs at the National Stadium in Karachi, five have been won by the team fielding first with five won by the side bowling first! With the hottest weather of the day likely to be in the first innings, we predict that both captains will want to bat first.
