Naman Dhir should get the No. 6 spot on current evidence, because he offers off-spin overs and late hitting in one package. Shivam Dube remains the better-proven power hitter after a strong T20 World Cup, but a quiet West Indies series has weakened his claim. Dhir impressed with five wickets and an unbeaten 24 off […]
Karun Nair’s unbeaten 155 was the better innings, though Madhav Kaushik’s 150 was the more productive one. Nair arrived with Karnataka wobbling at 43 for 3 against a strong Andhra attack and saved Karnataka from defeat, while Kaushik built a platform that carried Uttar Pradesh to an innings win over Bihar. Neither batter is in […]
Breetzke replacing Stubbs is a big gamble because South Africa swapped a struggling middle-order regular for a batter with only 14 Test runs. Stubbs went after scores of 32 and 1 in the 214-run defeat at Durban, and Breetzke steps in at No. 5 for the second Test in Gqeberha. His ODI form is excellent, […]
Pakistan are our predicted winners, holding a narrow 53% win probability against England’s 47%. Home conditions at Rawalpindi, a 37-run opening win over Sri Lanka powered by Salman Agha’s 107, and a batting group that can chase big totals give the hosts the edge. This Pakistan vs England match prediction also covers the pitch report, […]
Dolphins are our predicted winners, holding a 55% win probability against Warriors on 45%. Momentum from four wins in their last five games and a projected 180+ total built around Jason Smith give the hosts the edge at Kingsmead. This Dolphins vs Warriors match prediction also covers the pitch report, weather, head-to-head record, likely playing […]
Because he scores faster and more reliably than anyone else in the middle order. Bedingham averages 36.92 at a strike rate of 67.42 after 16 Tests, ahead of Markram, Mulder and Rickelton, and he top-scored with 49 when South Africa were bowled out for 284 in Durban. Australia’s seamers will bowl at him again from […]
Mohammed Siraj is the clear answer. With 51 one-day matches, 77 wickets and an economy rate of 5.15, he owns the strongest record among the senior seamers, and Jasprit Bumrah is missing from both squads for a series that starts in Auckland on 4 November. Every alternative carries a question, from fitness to inexperience, so […]
South Africa’s tail wins the argument on paper, but Australia’s tail won the match. Over two Durban innings, the hosts’ bottom five collected 172 runs against 156 from the visitors, and since January 2024 they average 25.82 per wicket to Australia’s 24.04. Even so, one ninth-wicket stand of 134 helped Australia take the opener by […]
Afghanistan hold a narrow edge with a 53% win probability against 47% for Zimbabwe in this Afghanistan vs Zimbabwe match prediction for the 2nd match of the UAE ODI Tri-Series. AFG bring strong recent form and a spin-led attack that suits conditions in Abu Dhabi, while ZIM arrive confident after a 99-run win over Bangladesh. […]
Australia’s top-order puzzle has no settled answer, and Durban only made it messier. Matthew Renshaw hit 190 and 82 from No. 5, yet Travis Head, opening alongside Nic Maddinson, managed just 20. The second Test in Gqeberha begins on 18 October, so selectors must choose who walks out with Head and whether Renshaw’s middle-order form […]
Two innings, two unbeaten hundreds and not a single wicket for India: that is Shai Hope’s record in this T20I series. The sides are locked together at two wins each before Saturday’s decider in Bengaluru, an evening start at 7:00 PM IST, or 7:30 PM Bangladesh time. India have found early breakthroughs in these games, […]
Two of India’s Test regulars opened the Ranji season badly: KL Rahul made 4 and 1, and Yashasvi Jaiswal fell for a duck. New Zealand A await them in the India A squad, with the first game on 24 October, which leaves Round 2 (18 to 21 October) as the only domestic match in which […]
Pakistan are the favourites in this Pakistan vs Sri Lanka match prediction, with a 55% win probability against 45% for Sri Lanka. The hosts bring home advantage, Salman Agha as the predicted match-winner and a bowling group led by Haris Rauf, while Sri Lanka arrive after a heavy defeat at The Oval. This preview covers […]
