The last seam spot should go to Auqib Nabi. Sixteen players were picked on 16 October for the New Zealand Tests, and the final pace place went to Anshul Kamboj even though Nabi topped the Ranji Trophy for 2025-26 on 60 wickets. His strike rate and average make the strongest case for a change, and […]
Australia needs Scott Boland more. His seam movement and an 18.58 Test average make him the safer wicket-taker in a series Australia lead 1-0, while Nathan Lyon has struggled across nine Tests in South Africa. Dropping the off-spinner for Gqeberha was a bold call, and the opening day backed it up. Yet the ground has […]
Bhuvneshwar Kumar gives India experience and a proven new-ball option, so he should anchor the attack rather than merely join it. His recall for India’s five T20Is in New Zealand ends a gap of nearly four years, with his last appearance against the same opponents on 22 November 2022. Twenty-eight IPL 2026 wickets earned him […]
In the Afghanistan vs Bangladesh contest, Bangladesh are marginally ahead in the forecast, given a 52% probability of victory while Afghanistan stand at 48%. Towhid Hridoy’s batting form in the predictions and a perfectly level 11-11 head-to-head record make this closer than it looks, even though Afghanistan arrive on five straight wins after thrashing Zimbabwe […]
Northern Cape hold a slight edge in our Northern Cape vs South Western Districts match prediction, with a 54% win probability against 46% for South Western Districts. The call rests on a predicted 170+ total powered by Kyle Jacobs and a South Western Districts side that managed only 68 in its last outing. This preview […]
North West is the pick in our North West vs Limpopo match prediction, with a 53% win probability against 47% for Limpopo. The call rests on Diego Rosier’s predicted big-hitting form and a Limpopo side that has lost all of its last five games. This preview covers the pitch, weather, head-to-head record, playing XI talking […]
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 […]
