Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan at a Glance

  • Sri Lanka is confident because they have won five of their last eight home games.
  • After a six-month break, Afghanistan will play an ODI, and the players will need to get used to the faster tempo of the game.
  • Sri Lankan athletes have an advantage because they are playing on their home field and are familiar with the circumstances.

Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan Team Preview

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka enters this match on the heels of a dismal ODI series in New Zealand and some other prior dismal performances. They are, however, always a difficult opponent for any side at home. 

After being sidelined for a major portion of the Sri Lanka ODI season due to injury, Dushmantha Chameera returns. As Matheesha Pathirana prepares to make his ODI debut after shining for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL, we anticipate him to team up with him.

Afghanistan

Although Afghanistan will be without their best bowler for this game, they still have a strong lineup of batsmen and bowlers. They never engage in defensive play.

Spinner Rashid Khan, the series’ star bowler, missed the first two ODIs due to a lower back injury but is anticipated to be ready for the third and final game. The other spin bowlers in this first game will have more responsibility now that Rashid is out.

In Hambantota, teams batting second have a substantially higher win % than those batting first. We anticipate that both captains will choose to field first if either wins the toss.

Hambantota would experience a partly overcast sky. In the afternoon, it would be warm and muggy.

The team that bats first would likely aim for a par score of at least 300 in this match because of the favorable batting surface. At this venue, spinners frequently find it difficult to score runs off.

Leicestershire Foxes vs Derbyshire Falcons at a glance

  • This year, Wayne Madsen leads Derbyshire Falcons’ batting charts with 168 runs in just three innings.
  • Leicestershire Foxes should keep an eye on Naseem Shah.
  • Arron Lilley and Colin Ackermann are not reliable batters for Leicestershire Foxes at the moment.

Leicestershire Foxes vs Derbyshire Falcons Team Preview

Leicestershire Foxes

Leicestershire are still waiting for their first win in the 2023 T20 Blast following losses to Lancashire Lightning by 8 wickets, Birmingham Bears by 5 wickets, and Worcestershire Rapids by 33 runs. They are currently ranked last in the North Group.

The Foxes have had three different leading run scorers in their first three games, but none have reached a half-century. Wiaan Mulder led the scoring in the first game, followed by Nick Welch in the second. Rishi Patel achieved Leicestershire’s highest score of the season in the previous encounter, scoring 42 runs off 29 balls. After failing to take a wicket against Lancashire Lightning and Birmingham Bears, young Pakistan pace bowler Naseem Shah impressed against Worcestershire Rapids, taking 2-32. In this game, we expect him to spearhead the bowling attack.

Derbyshire Falcons

Derbyshire, like their opponents in this match, is still hunting for their first victory of the competition and hopes to avoid their fourth consecutive 2023 Vitality Blast defeat. They are one spot ahead of the Foxes in this match due to a higher net run rate.

Wayne Madsen, the tournament’s veteran, must be thinking about what he needs to do to win. He has scored a half-century in all three Blast games and also scored 83 in a 2nd XI T20 encounter between the second and third games. Brooke Guest, the keeper-batter, scored 49 runs in the previous game. On Monday, Zaman Khan and Luis Reece each got two wickets against the Northamptonshire Steelbacks, while the other four bowlers deployed in the match went wicketless. Mark Watt, a left-arm spinner, is yet to remove a player in the 2023 Blast but should benefit from the surface in this encounter.

The chasing team has won 44% of the Vitality Blast matches at the venue. As a result, the team that wins the toss here is likely to bowl first.

The weather for the match is forecast to be gloomy, but there is no chance of rain.

Grace Road in Leicester will host this Vitality Blast match. There will be some turns for the spinners, but it’s also a superb batting ground where a score of 200 or more is probably possible.

Sussex Sharks vs Essex at a Glance

  • Essex Eagles are optimistic since they have a 9-7 advantage over Sussex at their home field.
  • The inability of Sussex Sharks’ Tom Clark and George Garton to score runs is a worry for the team.
  • The batsmen for the Essex Eagles, Feroze Khushi, Tom Westley, and Robin Das, are all in terrific shape.

Sussex Sharks vs Essex Team Preview

Sussex Sharks

The Sharks put their opening-game loss to Somerset behind them with a slender but excellent victory over Surrey on Sunday at The Oval. But this matchup with Essex will be yet another challenging one.

Michael Burgess, a keeper-batter who joined the Sharks on loan for this competition, has excelled, as he has contributed with the bat in each of the two games. The crucial batter for this game will be Ravi Bopara, who also had a 51-run game against Surrey.

Essex

Essex was the last team to begin its 2023 T20 Blast campaign after facing Ireland in a four-day encounter, but it did so with a victory over Gloucestershire in Chelmsford on Tuesday. With 5 balls left, the Eagles crossed the finish line and won by 3 wickets.

In the triumph over Gloucestershire, Robin Das led all scorers with 69 runs from 33 balls in an innings that featured 11 fours and two sixes. Tom Westley, who made an undefeated 31 from 23 balls, and opener Feroze Khushi, who scored 34 runs off just 14 balls, both made significant contributions.

At this location, a high-scoring game has already been witnessed. Here, the team trying to score has always held the upper hand. At the toss, both captains would be considering this, and the captain who wins is likely to choose to bowl first in this match.

On June 1, Hove would experience a partially cloudy sky.

With pace for the quick bowlers as well, this is a superb batting pitch, thus we anticipate seeing a par score of around 180.

Yorkshire Vikings vs Lancashire Lightning at a Glance

  • Eight of the last ten games between Lancashire Lightning and Yorkshire Vikings have ended in victories for Lancashire Lightning. 
  • The bowlers for Yorkshire Vikings have given up 174, 217, and 177 runs over the past three matches.
  • With Liam Livingstone and Darryl Mitchell in their lineup, Lancashire Lightning possesses a potent batting lineup.

Yorkshire Vikings vs Lancashire Lightning Team Preview

Yorkshire Vikings

Yorkshire struggled in their first few games of the season, but after their victory, they will feel a lot more confident. But this will be yet another difficult game.

William Luxton made his debut in the victory over the Notts Outlaws at Trent Bridge on Tuesday. Despite making a three-ball duck, we anticipate that he will have another opportunity in this match against Lancashire, which will take place in front of a large audience.

Lancashire Lightning

Lancashire will be attempting to recover from their first loss in the competition in their most recent game. At the house of their neighborhood rivals, of course.

Prior to their most recent match against the Birmingham Bears, Lancashire made just one change, with Josh Bohannon entering the lineup and George Bell assuming the gloves in place of the injured Phil Salt. In this match, Salt is anticipated to return as the wicketkeeper and start the batting order.

In T20 games in Leeds, teams batting first enjoy a win rate of over 60%. We anticipate that both captains will choose batting first in this match.

Leeds will experience cloudy skies on June 1st.

The batsmen would have difficulty on the surface because the ball would move around. The side that bats first will aim for a total in the neighborhood of 180 runs because large scores have been recorded at this location this season.

England vs Ireland at a glance

  • England lost the last match by one run to New Zealand.
  • Ireland was defeated by Sri Lanka by an innings and ten runs in the previous match.
  • England has only lost one of their last five matches, winning four of them, whereas Ireland has lost all of them.

England vs Ireland Team Preview

England

This Test has been arranged ahead of a five-match Ashes series to give England some high-level experience in this format. Both Jimmy Anderson and Ollie Robinson will sit out this game to avoid aggravating minor ailments, while Josh Tongue will make his Test debut.

England’s batting at Lord’s has been a struggle in recent years, with the squad scoring more than 160 runs in only one of their last five Test innings. Jonny Bairstow makes his international debut after injuring his leg in August of last year. Stuart Broad will head an untested speed assault alongside Matthew Potts and Josh Tongue, with Anderson and Robinson both out injured. Jack Leach will provide spin, but it is unclear whether skipper Ben Stokes will be able to bowl.

Ireland

In 2019, the visitors return to the site of their only prior Test match against England. Ireland had many high points in that game, but they ultimately lost by 143 runs on day three after being bowled for 38 in their second innings.

Ireland enters this Test after scoring their greatest Test total in an innings defeat to Sri Lanka in April. Andy Balbirnie, Harry Tector, Paul Stirling, Lorcan Tucker, and Curtis Campher all scored 80 points or more in that Test and will be confident going into this encounter. Mark Adair will return to the Ireland squad for this match after missing the second Test against Sri Lanka. After dismissing Joe Root in both innings and collecting six wickets overall in 2019, the right-arm medium-pace bowler has fond recollections of this match.

The game will be played at Lord’s Cricket Ground during gloomy and overcast conditions. The team that wins the toss should bowl first and take advantage of the circumstances in the first 10 overs to try to get early wickets.

Right now, the weather in England will be gloomy and cold. The temperature is expected to be approximately 15 degrees Celsius.
