BBL Match Prediction | Big Bash League 2024-25 | Perth Scorchers vs Sydney Thunder | Match 22 | Jan 03 – Who do you think will climb the table after this match?

PS vs ST Match Analysis

Perth Scorchers and Sydney Thunder will play each other in the Big Bash League 2024-25 22nd game on January 03, 2025, at 04:15 PM BST at Perth Stadium, Perth.

Perth Scorchers have traditionally boasted a formidable bowling attack and a powerful batting lineup, and this season, those strengths seem to be even more prominent.

Sydney Thunder have had an inconsistent performance in the BBL over the years, but this season, they appear to have found a notably strong bowling attack.

PS vs ST Team Preview & Squads

Perth Scorchers

Jhye Richardson’s return from the Australia Test squad has further strengthened an already impressive bowling lineup.

The opening bowling partnership of Richardson and Jason Behrendorff stands out as one of the most accurate and dangerous in the competition. They are backed up by Lance Morris and Andrew Tye, who add depth to the pace attack, while Ashton Agar and Cooper Connolly offer dependable spin options.

Connolly has been a revelation with the bat this season, and captain Ashton Turner continues to produce consistent performances. The New Zealand opener struggled in his first four innings but bounced back with a rapid 50 runs from 23 balls against Adelaide, and will aim to build on that momentum in this match.

Perth Scorchers Squads

Finn Allen, Sam Fanning, Nick Hobson, Matty Hurst, Josh Inglis, Keaton Jennings, Matthew Spoors, Ashton Turner, Cooper Connolly, Aaron Hardie, Mitchell Marsh, Ashton Agar, Mahli Beardman, Jason Behrendorff, Matthew Kelly, Lance Morris, Jhye Richardson, Andrew Tye.

Sydney Thunder

Wes Agar stole the spotlight in the victory over Melbourne Renegades, claiming 4/32 from his four overs. However, it highlighted the team’s depth, as Lockie Ferguson, who had been in superb form before that match, went wicketless.

Daniel Sams, who took 2/26 in that game, has already proven to be a match-winner with both bat and ball this season.

The batting lineup boasts exceptional fluidity and consistency, with any one of Cameron Bancroft, David Warner, Sherfane Rutherford, Oliver Davies, or keeper-batter Sam Billings capable of stepping up on any given day.

Sydney Thunder Squads

Cameron Bancroft, Sam Billings, Oliver Davies, Matthew Gilkes, Sam Konstas, Nic Maddinson, Sherfane Rutherford, Jason Sangha, David Warner, Chris Green, William Salzmann, Daniel Sams, Wes Agar, Lockie Ferguson, Ryan Hadley, Liam Hatcher, Nathan McAndrew, Tanveer Sangha.

Perth Scorchers vs Sydney Thunder outfield report

Perth Stadium, Perth

Both teams are equally comfortable with either batting or bowling first, so the conditions are likely to influence the decision.

Despite being played between 18:15 and 21:35 local time, there is little probability of cloud cover or rain in Perth during January, and this game is expected to have a temperature of 26 degrees throughout!

Although teams have won at Optus Stadium this season when they have batted and fielded first, bowlers have often had the most success. If the first batsman can score a total of 155 or more, we anticipate that they will feel like they are in the game.

January 2, 2025

BH vs SS Match Analysis

Brisbane Heat and Sydney Sixers will play each other in the Big Bash League 2024-25 21st game on January 03, 2025, at 01:05 PM BST at International Sports Stadium, Coffs Harbour.

The Brisbane Heat are facing difficulties, sitting in sixth place with only two wins from their five matches.

The Sydney Sixers are currently at the top of the standings with 8 points from five matches. Having already defeated the Heat in their previous meeting this season, the Sixers will be confident in their ability to repeat the victory against their underperforming opponents.

BH vs SS Team Preview & Squads

Brisbane Heat

Brisbane Heat’s season has been a mix of highs and lows. They began strongly with two consecutive wins but have since struggled, losing three matches in a row, the most recent of which was against Melbourne StarsThe team will be relying on Nathan

McSweeney to produce another match-winning performance. McSweeney, the team’s second-highest run-scorer with 129 runs from 5 innings, can anchor the innings and play crucial knocks when required

Matt Renshaw and Jimmy Peirson have provided stability at the crease and will be expected to keep things steady, while Max Bryant continues to be a key player for big hitting in the lower order. Bryant’s unbeaten 77 off 48 balls was vital in helping the Heat post a competitive total of 149-7 against the Stars after the top order collapsed.

With the ball, Xavier Bartlett has been reliable, taking 5 wickets in 5 innings at an economy rate of 8.25. Alongside Bartlett, Spencer Johnson will need to lead the bowling attack, especially considering the lack of experience in the rest of the lineup.

Brisbane Heat Squads

Tom Alsop, Max Bryant, Daniel Drew, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Colin Munro, Jimmy Peirson, Matt Renshaw, Nathan McSweeney, Michael Neser, Paul Walter, Xavier Bartlett, Spencer Johnson, Matthew Kuhnemann, Will Prestwidge, Mitchell Swepson, Callum Vidler, Jack Wood, Tom Whitney.

Sydney Sixers

Sydney Sixers, after winning their first four matches, experienced their first defeat of the season against Hobart Hurricanes. Chasing a target of 162 in Hobart, they fell short, being dismissed for just 111.

However, the loss is unlikely to cause too much concern for the Sixers, as they have had a nearly flawless campaign up until now.

James Vince and Josh Philippe have been the team’s top run-scorers, with over 150 runs each in the three matches. Moises Henriques has also been in excellent form, accumulating 132 runs from 5 innings at a strike rate of 127.

The bowling attack has been led by Ben Dwarshuis, who has claimed 10 wickets in 5 innings at an economy rate of 8.25. Jackson Bird and Hayden Kerr have also contributed significantly, taking 12 wickets between them, with Bird recently registering career-best figures of 4-16 against Hobart.

Brisbane Heat vs Sydney Sixers outfield report

International Sports Stadium, Coffs Harbour

The chasing team has won three of the four domestic T20 matches held at the International Sports Stadium. As a result, both captains will probably want to field first in this situation.

Partially cloudy conditions are expected, with the possibility of a brief shower or two in the afternoon. We should still receive the entire game, though.

The fast, well-kept pitch at Coffs Harbour’s International Sports Stadium is perfect for Twenty20 cricket. While spinners will find some turn and grip, pacers could expect strong bounce and carry.

South Africa vs Pakistan | Cricket Match Prediction | 2nd Test | Jan 03 – Can PAK level it or RSA will win?

January 2, 2025

RSA vs PAK Match Analysis

The last test of a two-match test series between South Africa and Pakistan will occur on January 3, 2025, at 2:30 p.m. BST at Newlands, Cape Town.

South Africa, with their victory in the first Test, have become the first team to secure their spot in the WTC Final at Lord’s in June, with the only uncertainty being who they will face in six months.

Pakistan, the most predictably unpredictable side in international cricket, is always a topic of interest, and a quick look at their recent results confirms this.

RSA vs PAK Team Preview & Squads

South Africa

South Africa, on a low-scoring pitch, demonstrated remarkable resilience and skill to chase down their target of 148 in Centurion, securing the win with two wickets remaining. Batting fourth proved challenging both technically and mentally, but they showed plenty of composure.

Aiden Markram was the standout batter for both teams, scoring 89 of South Africa’s 301 in the first innings and contributing 37 in their successful chase of 150/8. Long considered a player who hadn’t reached his full potential, Markram will enter the next Test full of confidence following these performances.

With the ball, RSA’s four-man attack proved highly effective, and we expect Kagiso Rabada, Corbin Bosch, Dane Paterson, and Marco Jansen to be equally dangerous in Cape Town.

South Africa Squads

Marco Jansen, Kyle Verreynne, Tristan Stubbs, Keshav Maharaj, David Bedingham, Wiaan Mulder, Temba Bavuma (c), Kwena Maphaka, Dane Paterson, Ryan Rickelton, Matthew Breetzke, Kagiso Rabada, Aiden Markram, Senuran Muthusamy, Corbin Bosch, and Tony de Zorzi.

Pakistan

After being soundly beaten by England in their opening Test in October, Pakistan bounced back with victories by 152 runs and nine wickets. However, the Boxing Day defeat in Centurion will be hard to recover from, as they came so close to claiming their third consecutive win.

Heading into this Test, Babar Azam will feel more comfortable after scoring a half-century in the second innings, and Saud Shakeel continues to impress with consistent performances. With the ball, Mohammad Abbas came close to securing a win for the visitors in Centurion, and no South African batter will be eager to face him after his brilliant 6/54 in the second innings.

Pakistan Squads

Noman Ali, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Rizwan, Shan Masood (c), Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Abbas, Khurram Shahzad, Saim Ayub, Agha Salman, Kamran Ghulam, Abdullah Shafique, Babar Azam, Aamer Jamal, Haseebullah Khan, and Mir Hamza.

South Africa vs Pakistan outfield report

Newlands, Cape Town

We anticipate that both captains will head out to the middle wanting to bowl first because the team chasing in the fourth innings of the game has won three of the last four Test matches at Newlands.

Clear sky and heavy humidity are predicted for all five days, with temperatures reaching the mid-twenties and no rain.

The ball can dominate the bat at Newlands, as demonstrated by the two-day Test match in January of last year, which witnessed scores of 55, 176, 153, and 80/3.

Australia vs India | Cricket Match Prediction | 5th Test | Jan 03 – Let’s see who will take away the series home AUS or IND.

January 2, 2025

AUS vs IND Match Analysis

The Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney, will host the final Test of a five-match Test series between Australia and India at 05:30 AM BST on January 03, 2025.

India, after taking a 1-0 lead in the series with a win in the first Test at Perth, lost two of the following three Tests against Australia. They now trail 1-2 in the series, making this Test crucial to level the series and keep their WTC Final hopes alive.

Australia, meanwhile, is brimming with confidence and eager to secure its spot in the WTC Final with a win in this test. A thrilling contest awaits at the SCG to kick off the new year.

AUS vs IND Team Preview & Squads

Australia

Australia can never be written off, can they? After a heavy defeat in Perth to start the series, they seemed down and out. Struggles with their batting lineup in 2024 cost them the first Test, but they turned the series around in the next three matches to lead 2-1 ahead of the decisive 5th Test at the SCG.

In the second Test at Adelaide, Australia dominated the day-night encounter, winning by 10 wickets after bundling India out for under 200 runs in both innings. Travis Head regained form with a stunning 140, earning the Player of the Match award, while Mitchell Starc’s fiery spell of 6 for 40 in the first innings proved decisive. The third Test at Brisbane ended in a rain-affected draw, with India’s chase of 275 cut short. Smith and Head both struck centuries in Adelaide, keeping Australia’s batting lineup buoyant.

Australia’s tenacity was demonstrated during the Boxing Day Test at the MCG. Needing seven wickets in the final session to secure victory, they went wicketless in the second session, leaving many expecting a draw. However, their trademark never-say-die attitude, combined with India’s batting collapse, handed the hosts a memorable win. Steve Smith added another century to his tally in the series.

After a tough year in Tests, AUS’s batting lineup is finding form at just the right time, while their bowlers remain as potent as ever. Pat Cummins has been the standout performer, claiming 20 wickets across four Tests at an impressive average of 22.65. It will be a challenging task for India to stop this formidable Australian team in the final Test at the SCG.

Australia Squads

Mitchell Starc, Travis Head, Sam Konstas, Scott Boland, Steven Smith, Nathan Lyon, Marnus Labuschagne, Usman Khawaja, Pat Cummins, Alex Carey, Josh Inglis, Jhye Richardson, Mitchell Marsh, Sean Abbott, and Beau Webster.

India

India had a golden opportunity to dominate Australia for the third consecutive time after their emphatic win in the first Test at Perth. Coming off a 0-3 loss to New Zealand at home, India needed a series victory against Australia to secure a spot in the WTC Final. Now, trailing 2-1, their only hope lies in winning the final Test in Sydney and counting on Sri Lanka to beat Australia in their upcoming series.

Jasprit Bumrah has been outstanding, not just in this series but throughout 2024. With 30 wickets in the first four Tests at an incredible average of 12.83, Bumrah has set new benchmarks in cricket history. No player has ever taken more wickets in a calendar year

at a better average. Remarkably, he also became the only bowler in Test history to surpass 200 wickets with an average below 20, a truly phenomenal achievement.

IND must be questioning how they managed to lose two Tests despite Bumrah’s brilliance. The answer lies in their faltering batting lineup, particularly the underwhelming performances of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. While Kohli did notch up a century in Perth, his other innings have lacked impact. Rohit Sharma, on the other hand, continues to struggle for runs, fueling speculation from critics about his potential retirement.

India Squads

Washington Sundar, Dhruv Jurel, Devdutt Padikkal, Prasidh Krishna, Ravichandran Ashwin, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Harshit Rana, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Virat Kohli, Mohammed Siraj, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Rishabh Pant, Akash Deep, and Sarfaraz Khan.
