Cricket Prediction | Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka | 2nd ODI | March 15 – Let’s see if BAN can win the series or not.

March 14, 2024

BAN vs SL Match Analysis

Bangladesh is now focused on winning the series after winning the first game of the series by a commanding 6-wicket margin. After the defeat, Sri Lanka is a little rattled, but they have to get over it fast and mount a formidable comeback to win the series. All they will be thinking about is forcing the series into a final, and they will be a little frantic to win the second ODI against the hosts and settle the scores.

While both of these teams had their share of boring periods, Bangladesh took advantage of all the major opportunities throughout the game and performed well under duress. When the chips were down, they maintained greater coolness and demonstrated the fortitude to fight fire with fire to achieve their desired outcome. The hosts need one more firefighting demonstration like this to bring the series to a close. However, Sri Lanka will enter the game with a point to prove and the expectation of improving their cricketing performance.

BAN vs SL Team Preview & Squads

Bangladesh

Bangladesh won the first game of the series easily, thus they entered the second ODI with high spirits. They did experience some nerves early in both innings, despite what the final result might imply.

When they took the ball, the SL openers struck quickly, reaching about 70 runs in the first ten overs. However, Tanzim and Taskin did a good job of taking three wickets in 20 balls, putting Sri Lanka in a little trouble at 84/3 and forcing them to rally. The openers’ solid stand was essentially destroyed by this, and Sri Lanka was forced to start developing their innings. With three scalps apiece, the explosive pace trio—which included Shoriful Islam—finally destroyed SL.

Similarly, Bangladeshi batters were in trouble early on, as their top order was gone in 6 overs when they were chasing a below-par 256 for victory. With a clear intention of attacking, Mahmudullah moved to the middle and contributed significant runs to the total before being removed for 37, but Najmul Hossain Shanto, the young captain, would not give up and concluded with a match-winning 122*, which also happened to be his best score to date. To provide Shanto with the assistance he needed on the other end, Mushfiqur Rahim drew from his experience.

Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Soumya Sarkar, Mahmudullah, Taijul Islam, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed, Towhid Hridoy, Shoriful Islam, Litton Das, Tanzim Hasan Sakib.

Sri Lanka

After winning the toss, SL decided to bat first. They had a great start, but before they could build on it, they lost three quick wickets, which made it appear like a bad idea to bat. Their batsmen took it upon themselves to halt the bleeding after they lost several wickets early on. Their careful batting slowed things down considerably, but they were able to prevent another collapse.

They seemed to lose a wicket every time they attempted to accelerate the pace. They had to choose between scoring runs and staying safe, and as a result, they only managed 255, which was not good on a strong batting strip.

Madushanka got off to a great start, getting rid of Litton Das in his opening over and Soumya Sarkar in the following. At 23/3, Pramod Madushan cheaply dismissed Hridoy, leaving Bangladesh reeling. When it appeared that Sri Lanka would win, Shanto and Mahmudullah steadied the ship by putting on 69 runs for the fourth wicket. Mahmudullah’s removal allowed Sri Lanka to break the stand, but Shanto’s middle-order combination with Mushfiqur Rahim ensured their team didn’t lose any more wickets. The dew moved in, making it more difficult for SL bowlers to control the ball and use their techniques correctly. And the batsmen from Bangladesh took advantage of it.

To have the best opportunity of advancing the series into the third ODI, the visitors must strengthen their middle order bowling and batting.

Sri Lanka Squads

BAN vs SL outfield report

Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram

In the opening game, SL won the toss and elected to bat, a move that ultimately backfired on them. In the white ball portion of the series, Bangladesh has so far done a respectable job of chasing, winning two, and going perilously close to winning one. In this match, SL may choose to chase in an attempt to slightly unnerve them.

There won’t be any interruptions due to the weather. However, Dew might contribute once more and greatly simplify matters for the pursuing team. The opening match’s surface was ideal for batting, but Sri Lanka was unable to fully build on their strong start to end with a sizable score. It is expected that the strip will act in the same way in the upcoming encounter.

PSL Cricket Match Prediction 2024 | Eliminator 1 | Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators – Let’s see who will win. | March 15

March 14, 2024

Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators Match Analysis

With a victory in the last group stage match, Quetta Gladiators could have secured a spot in the top two, sending Multan Sultans, who are now atop the table, into the dreaded playoffs. Unfortunately, that was not meant to be.

In actuality, the Sultans were too strong for Gladiators, and they won decisively by 79 runs to guarantee their position at the top of the tree. To finish their group stage matches, Quetta Gladiators will now play Islamabad United, who stunned Sultans by chasing a game by 229 runs. Imad Wasim performed brilliantly to lead his club over the finish line on the final ball of the game, with United needing 48 runs off 4 overs to win and maybe advance to the playoffs.

Early in the season, Gladiators defeated United in Lahore, but rain caused a postponement of their Rawalpindi match. Their meetings have always been close and hotly contested, as seen by the overall head-to-head score of 9 to 9. It seems like this elimination round won’t be much different from the last one based on their performance in the past and present form.

Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators Team Preview & Squads

Islamabad United

In the second round, they tried in vain to defend below-par totals against the Sultans, and in the third match, against the Gladiators. In their fourth game against Zalmi, United’s batsmen demonstrated improved intent and game understanding as they led the chase until the 18th over when they needed to reach 202 to win. Nevertheless, they managed to lose still, ultimately losing by eight runs.

They knew the door was closing on them when their spot in the knockouts was in jeopardy, and they supported that realization with outstanding bat and ball performances. Except for the postponed game, they won four of the final five games to take third place in the standings. They have successfully destroyed teams twice thanks to their excellent chasing technique: once against the Multan Sultans and once against the reigning champion Lahore Qalandars.

They have, however, found it difficult sometimes to bat first. A few things may be going on, such as not understanding what constitutes a solid score on the strip and not understanding the terms of play. With Agha Salman, Colin Munro, and Shadab Khan all in form, they are good at batting, but they still need to improve greatly at bowling, particularly with Naseem Shah and Shadab Khan still appearing shaky.

Islamabad United Squads

Islamabad United

Shadab Khan (c), Azam Khan (wk), Alex Hales, Haider Ali, Faheem Ashraf, Imad Wasim, Hunain Shah, Agha Salman, Naseem Shah, Colin Munro, Tymal Mills.

Quetta Gladiators

It has been a difficult journey thus far for team Quetta, going from even with Multan Sultans at the midway point in the table to being humiliated by Sultans in the last group stage match with just three more points added to their total in the second half.

The Pacers are still out of their league and their spin-heavy assault hasn’t been able to maintain its level of consistency. And because of this, the opposition has been able to escape and score a total that is higher than the Gladiators’ patchy batting lineup. Khawaja Nafay, aside from his outstanding 60* counterattack against Lahore Qalandars, has been an average player.

Interestingly, his meager total of 177 runs from 9 games is good enough for third position on Quetta’s list of best scorers this season, directly behind Saud Shakeel (323 runs from 9 games) and Jason Roy (252 runs from 9 hits). The middle order is criticized for not scoring a lot, and the captain, Rilee Rossouw, is a major letdown.

Quetta Gladiators Squads

Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators outfield report

National Stadium, Karachi

Islamabad United has won four of its five games when trailing, so their strategy for the elimination match should come as no surprise. If the Quetta Gladiators win the toss, they will prefer to send the opposition to bat because they have had better success chasing down teams.

The weather is expected to hold up nicely for the important game. Any score above 185 would present a problem for the pursuing team because Karachi decks have proven to be difficult to score runs on. Even though it’s a knockout game and the pursuing side would be under a lot of pressure to score points, anything less would be challenging to defend.

Cricket Prediction | United Arab Emirates vs Scotland | 3rd T20I | March 14 – Will the UAE win the series decider after defeating SCO?

March 14, 2024

UAE vs SCO Match Analysis

Scotland and the UAE will square off one last time in this series. UAE lost the match by 9 runs in a chase of 122 runs after easily chasing down 148 runs. Scotland’s batting, however, has continued to get worse. Scotland’s bowling performance was what kept them in the series. Their 9-run triumph in the second Twenty20 international was largely due to Jack Jarvis, Gavin Main, and Hamza Tahir.

Both sides will be trying to raise their batting averages as they prepare for the third Twenty20 International. Due to its reputation as a fantastic batting surface, teams pursuing always held the advantage in Dubai. And the first game demonstrated that, as UAE won handily with eight wickets remaining. But in the most recent game, hitters on both teams had trouble reaching the scoreboard.

Both lineups have some excellent hitters. Scotland’s George Munsey and captain Matthew Cross will be important performers, while Muhammad Waseem is the key to the UAE’s success batting in the top order.

UAE vs SCO Team Preview & Squads

United Arab Emirates

In the most recent game, the middle order of the UAE was exposed, and nobody else was able to stay at the crease long enough to have an impact other than Alishan Sharafu. Similar to the vacationers, the UAE has a youthful and inexperienced population.

Rahul Chopra at number five, Aryan Lakra at number three, and opener Tanish Suri are all relatively inexperienced and fresh to the scene. In the opening Twenty20 International, Suri contributed to the 80-run partnership with captain Muhammad Waseem, scoring 37 off 35 balls.

Despite having a lackluster strike rate, Sharufu has been reliable. After early losses, he may be the rock of this batting lineup, establishing vital partnerships to help build the innings. He’s going to require assistance from the other end. Rahul Chopra and Aryan Lakra will be the candidates for this position. The UAE could be in a lot of trouble if these two are out on the cheap.

In the batting department, Waseem and Sharufu appear to be crucial players. Lower down the order, there are all-rounders like Basil Hameed and Ayan Afzal Khan, but if the top and middle order aren’t performing, they won’t be able to have much of an influence.

UAE, however, has shown remarkable skill with the ball. In the previous two games, Junaid Siddique went 4 for 18 and 4 for 16 in the draw. The other two important bowlers who have made an impact in this setup are Ayan Afzal Khan and Basil Hameed.

They will be a formidable obstacle to the visiting team’s batting order. Furthermore, we believe Waseem would still be eager to bowl first even if they were unable to chase a modest total in the previous game.

United Arab Emirates Squads

United Arab Emirates

Muhammad Waseem (c), Tanish Suri (wk), Basil Hameed, Aryan Lakra, Aayan Afzal Khan, Alishan Sharafu, Rahul Chopra, Junaid Siddique, Hazrat Luqman, Akif Raja, and Zuhaib Zubair.

Scotland

Scotland’s squad includes several fresh players that have traveled to Dubai. The only veterans in this batting order are Matthew Cross, the captain, and George Munsey. But Ollie Hairs, the opening batsman, is a talented athlete. The 32-year-old has amassed a hundred runs in 22 T20Is. At a strike rate of 189.37, he has scored 392 runs.

Hairs is a great guy to bat first alongside Munsey since he can hit long balls. Despite having limited T20 international experience, number three Brandon McMullen has an excellent strike rate of 143.62. In the previous game, Matthew Cross captained the squad, and Richie Berrington, the captain of the first T20I, was left out of the starting XI. Charlie Tear, playing in his first T20I, replaced Berrington.

The performances of the top four players in this batting lineup haven’t shown much promise, despite the stats being encouraging. Michael Leask, an all-around player, can be quite important in the bottom echelon. Another all-rounder who has only been in two Twenty20 internationals, Jack Jarvis, has shown promise with the bat and the ball. This batting lineup lacks consistency, which will worry Scotland a great deal.

There are two other important bowlers on this side to be aware of: Bradley Curie and Gavin Main. In the previous game, right-arm leg-break bowler James Dickinson made his debut, picking 1 for 23. He took the place of seasoned left-arm orthodox bowler Mark Watt.

With the series at stake, we believe Scotland should add Berrington and Watt back to the squad.

Scotland Squads

Richie Berrington (c), Matthew Cross (wk), Brandon McMullen, Michael Leask, George Munsey, O Hairs, Chris Greaves, Safyaan Sharif, Mark Watt, Gavin Main, and Jack Jarvis.

UAE vs SCO outfield report

Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai

Teams chasing down a target have won most of the matches here, and it’s been a wonderful place to bat. Both captains of the UAE will likely try to bowl first in the third Twenty20 international as they have done in the previous two games.

Here in Dubai, it’s customarily a hitting pitch. With the lights on at night, it’s amazing. The third T20I should feature a strong pitch with pace and even bounce, even though hitters found it difficult to score runs in the last game. But the surface might also be able to assist spinners.

The Changing Faces of IPL 2024: Who Are the Unavailable Players and Their Replacements

March 14, 2024

As the countdown to IPL 2024 begins, cricket enthusiasts worldwide brace themselves for yet another thrilling season of the world’s most prestigious T20 league. However, with excitement comes a tinge of disappointment as some star players are ruled out due to various reasons ranging from injuries to personal commitments. Let’s delve into the transformations unfolding within the teams and the players stepping in to fill the voids left by their absent counterparts.

Gujarat Titans

The Titans face a setback with the absence of Mohammed Shami, the leading wicket-taker of the 2023 season, nursing an ankle injury. His surgical journey in London casts doubts over his IPL 2024 participation, leaving the Titans scrambling for a suitable replacement. Additionally, Matthew Wade’s commitment to the Sheffield Shield final for Tasmania sidelines him for the initial games, posing a double blow for the Titans.

Lucknow Super Giants

Mark Wood’s withdrawal, sanctioned by the ECB to manage his workload, paves the way for Shamar Joseph to don the Super Giants’ jersey. This substitution not only bolsters the team’s bowling arsenal but also reflects the strategic foresight in balancing player fitness for upcoming international events like the T20 World Cup.

Rajasthan Royals

Prasidh Krishna’s unfortunate injury recurrence sidelines him for yet another IPL season, necessitating surgical intervention on his quadriceps tendon. With no named replacement, the Royals face a daunting task of compensating for Krishna’s absence, emphasizing the challenges posed by unexpected injuries.

Kolkata Knight Riders

The Knight Riders bid adieu to Jason Roy, citing personal reasons, as Phil Salt steps in to inherit the opener’s role. Meanwhile, Gus Atkinson’s withdrawal due to workload management grants Dushmantha Chameera the opportunity to showcase his prowess on the IPL stage. These alterations reflect the dynamic nature of player commitments and the critical role of replacements in maintaining team balance.

Chennai Super Kings

Devon Conway’s recent thumb surgery sidelines him for eight weeks, leaving a void in the Super Kings’ batting lineup. However, CSK opts not to name a replacement, perhaps banking on their existing squad depth to navigate through Conway’s absence. This strategic decision underscores the team’s confidence in their roster’s versatility.

Delhi Capitals

The Capitals bid farewell to Harry Brook, who withdrew from IPL 2024 to mourn his grandmother’s demise, highlighting the human aspect amidst the frenzy of cricketing action. Yet to name a replacement, the Capitals face the challenge of maintaining equilibrium in their batting lineup without Brook’s services.

The shifting dynamics within IPL 2024 teams underscore the unpredictable nature of cricket and the resilience demanded by both players and management. Injuries, personal commitments, and workload management emerge as pivotal factors shaping team compositions and strategies.

The significance of replacements cannot be overstated, as they not only fill vacant slots but also inject fresh energy and talent into the teams. From established internationals to emerging talents, these substitutes seize the opportunity to leave their mark on the grand IPL stage, further enriching the league’s narrative.

What Were the Major Setbacks for Gujarat Giants in WPL 2024

March 14, 2024

The Gujarat Giants have once again found themselves struggling in the league stage of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2024, mirroring their disappointing performance from the inaugural edition. With only four points from seven games, they are on the brink of finishing at the bottom of the table, a fate they are all too familiar with. Let’s delve into the Major Setbacks that plagued their campaign this season.

Inconsistency and Slow Start

Gujarat Giants’ campaign was marred by a disastrous start in the league stage. They failed to secure a single victory in the first four matches, which set a bleak tone for the remainder of the tournament. Despite showing signs of improvement later on and securing two wins in their last three games, including victories over Royal Challengers Bangalore and UP Warriorz, it was too little, too late. In a league where consistency is key, their initial losses proved too much to overcome.

Dependence on a Specific Player

The injury to captain Beth Mooney in the previous edition of WPL dealt a significant blow to Gujarat Giants’ chances. While Mooney showcased stellar performances with the bat this season, amassing 285 runs with an average of 57, her impact was limited by a slow start. Her notable contributions in the latter half of the league were commendable but insufficient to salvage the team’s campaign. Gujarat Giants relied heavily on Mooney’s form, highlighting the lack of depth and support within the squad.

Weak Squad Composition

A critical aspect contributing to Gujarat Giants’ struggles was their squad composition. Unlike some of their competitors who invested in a balanced roster, Gujarat seemed to have neglected the importance of depth and variety in their lineup. Apart from Mooney, no other batter managed to make a significant impact, leaving the team overly reliant on her performances. Similarly, while there were glimpses of promise in the bowling department, there was a notable absence of standout performers apart from sporadic instances like Shabnam Shakil’s impressive spell. The lack of consistent contributions from other players underscored the team’s unbalanced composition and the need for a strategic overhaul in future seasons.

Looking ahead, it’s evident that Gujarat Giants need to address these shortcomings if they aspire to be contenders in future editions of the WPL. A thorough evaluation of their squad, strategic planning, and perhaps a more proactive approach in team-building through auctions could pave the way for a more competitive showing in subsequent seasons. While setbacks are an inevitable part of any sporting journey, Gujarat Giants need to learn from their experiences and emerge stronger in the face of adversity.

The Gujarat Giants’ struggles in WPL 2024 stemmed from a combination of factors including a slow start, overreliance on individual performances, and weaknesses in squad composition. As they reflect on their campaign and prepare for future seasons, addressing these issues will be paramount in their quest for redemption and success in the Women’s Premier League.

Is Mitchell Marsh the Right Choice for T20 World Cup Skipper

March 14, 2024

With the T20 World Cup on the horizon, the question of who will lead Australia’s men’s team has been a topic of fervent discussion. Mitchell Marsh emerges as a prime contender for the role, backed by strong endorsements from the team’s coach, Andrew McDonald. Having unofficially held the leadership mantle since Aaron Finch’s retirement, Marsh’s credentials have been under scrutiny. Let’s delve into the factors supporting his candidacy and assess whether Mitchell Marsh is indeed the right choice to captain Australia in the forthcoming T20 World Cup.

One of the pivotal arguments in favor of Marsh is his track record as a captain. Marsh demonstrated his leadership prowess by guiding his team to victory in the 2021 T20 World Cup, showcasing exceptional performance in the final against New Zealand. His ability to remain composed under pressure and lead from the front bodes well for his captaincy credentials.

Furthermore, Marsh’s development as a cricketer capable of excelling across all formats of the game significantly bolsters his standing for consideration. His recent displays in Test cricket, highlighted by his achievement of claiming the Allan Border Medal, serve to emphasize his significance across various formats. This multifaceted ability proves to be of immense importance in the rapidly evolving and diverse landscape of T20 cricket, where the ability to adjust and adapt holds paramount importance.

However, the decision to appoint Marsh as captain isn’t without its considerations. With no T20 internationals scheduled before the World Cup, the lack of recent match practice could be a concern. While Marsh has been involved in other formats, T20 cricket demands a distinct skill set and mindset. The transition back to T20 cricket might require some adjustment, raising questions about Marsh’s readiness to lead the team in this specific format.

Furthermore, the management of all-format players presents its challenges, as highlighted by Travis Head’s experiences. Balancing workload and providing adequate rest to players transitioning between formats is crucial to maintaining their performance levels. Marsh, being a three-format player, would require careful management to ensure he remains fresh and focused throughout the tournament.

Another aspect to consider is Marsh’s role beyond the T20 World Cup. With a busy international schedule ahead, including Test matches against India, strategic planning becomes paramount. McDonald’s suggestion of prioritizing Marsh’s involvement in Sheffield Shield cricket after the World Cup reflects a broader strategy aimed at long-term success.

The decision to appoint Mitch Marsh as Australia’s T20 World Cup skipper warrants careful consideration. While his leadership qualities and all-round abilities make him a compelling choice, factors such as match practice and workload management must be taken into account. With the right support and strategic planning, Marsh could indeed lead Australia to success in the T20 World Cup and beyond. However, it remains imperative for the selectors to weigh all considerations before finalizing their decision.

Ultimately, Marsh’s appointment should align with Australia’s broader objectives in cricket, ensuring continuity and success across all formats. As the cricketing world eagerly awaits the T20 World Cup, the decision regarding Australia’s captaincy will undoubtedly shape their campaign and future endeavors in the sport.

How Peshawar Zalmi Fared after the Group Stage

March 14, 2024

The Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2024 has been a wild cricketing carnival, full of more twists and turns than a particularly fiendish leg-break delivery. As the tournament sailed past the group stage, there emerged a team that soared like a perfectly timed cover drive – Peshawar Zalmi. Their journey was akin to a thrilling Test match, full of drama and delightful strokes that left fans on the edge of their seats, or perhaps, the edge of the boundary rope!

Now, let’s pull out our cricketing magnifying glass and inspect how Peshawar Zalmi’s stars twinkled after the group stage. It’s time to scrutinize the top run-scorers and wicket-takers of the Zalmi brigade.

Batting Performances:

Saim Ayub: 271 Runs

Youngster Saim Ayub has been another revelation for Peshawar Zalmi in PSL 2024. With 271 runs in 9 innings at a commendable average of 30.11, Saim has showcased his ability to contribute consistently to the team’s cause. His highest score of 88 and an impressive strike rate of 158.47 highlight his potential to accelerate the scoring rate when needed, making him a valuable asset in the middle order.

Rovman Powell: 214 Runs

With 214 runs in 9 innings at an average of 30.57, Powell has provided stability to the middle order. His aggressive intent, evident from a strike rate of 159.7, adds dynamism to the team’s batting lineup, ensuring they post competitive totals.

With 11 wickets in 9 innings at an average of 25.27, Wood has been effective in providing breakthroughs for his team. His best bowling figures of 2/13 and an economy rate of 7.98 demonstrate his ability to contain the opposition’s scoring, crucial in T20 cricket.

Naveen-ul-Haq has also played a crucial role with the ball for Peshawar Zalmi. With 9 wickets in 6 innings at an average of 23.77, Naveen has been a reliable wicket-taker for his team. His ability to maintain a decent economy rate of 9.72 despite bowling in the powerplay and death overs highlights his maturity and skill as a bowler.

Most Impactful Batters of PSL 2024 – after the Group Stage

March 14, 2024

The Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2024 has been a rollercoaster ride of cricketing drama, with more twists and turns than a googly bowled by a mischievous spinner. Teams battling it out like knights on a quest for the Holy Grail, except in this case, it’s the trophy they’re after!

As we bid adieu to the gripping group stage, let’s pause to appreciate the batsmen who’ve lit up the tournament like fireworks on Diwali night. These are not your ordinary cricketers; they’re more like wizards wielding their bats like magic wands, casting spells with every boundary they hit. You can almost hear the spectators chanting, “Expecto Patronum… a six!

Babar Azam (Peshawar Zalmi)

With 498 runs in 9 innings, Babar Azam has been the cornerstone of Peshawar Zalmi’s batting lineup. His impact runs of 516.9 underscore his ability to consistently deliver under pressure. Babar’s batting impact per innings stands at an impressive 58.5, with an overall batting impact of 526.7, making him a force to be reckoned with in the tournament.

Rassie van der Dussen (Lahore Qalandars)
