Cricket Prediction | Afghanistan vs South Africa | 2nd ODI | Sept 20 – Will AFG Maintain Their Winning Momentum?
AFG vs SA Match Analysis The 2nd ODI between Afghanistan and South Africa is set to take place in Sharjah on September 20, 2024,
On Saturday night at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the Melbourne Stars and Sydney Sixers square off in Match 28 of the 2023–24 Big Bash League. With four wins in seven games, the Stars have eight points from their seven games, while the Sixers have the same amount of points but just three wins and two no-results. 19:15 local time is when the game starts.
The Melbourne Stars team is full of confidence following their consecutive victory over the Sixers, Hurricanes, Strikers, and Renegades. Although the Sydney Sixers are a formidable opponent in any game, the Stars will be full of confidence after defeating them on Boxing Day.
In Wednesday’s game versus Brisbane Heat, the Sydney Sixers were unfortunate to be on the losing side of DLS due to unfavorable weather. Their lineup is still filled of talented T20 players, even though they haven’t won a BBL game since Match 11.
This season, Glenn Maxwell’s squad has shown significant improvement. They won three of the final four games after losing the first three. The team defeated the Melbourne Renegades by eight wickets after putting on a strong display in their most recent match. To take the second position on the points table, Maxwell would like his team to maintain their current momentum.
Daniel Lawrence will hope for a strong start from Thomas Rogers, who is in good form. After posing a danger to the bowlers with Beau Webster and Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell will try to add fast runs in the middle order. In the lower middle order, the team anticipates runs from Hilton Cartwright, Imad Wasim, and Sam Harper.
Joel Paris and Marcus Stoinis will aim to seize early wickets to give the team the upper hand early on. The team can anticipate strong bowling performances from Maxwell and Imad Wasim throughout the middle overs. Beau Webster, Mark Steketee, and Lawrence provide this attack with more diversity.
Melbourne Stars Squads
Glenn Maxwell (c), Sam Harper (wk), Beau Webster, Marcus Stoinis, Joel Paris, Mark Steketee, Thomas Rogers, Hilton Cartwright, Imad Wasim, Daniel Lawrence, and Jonathan Merlo.
In the previous game, Moises Henriques’ team lost to the Brisbane Heat by 3 runs using the DLS system. They lost the game because of their batsmen’s subpar performance. Henriques wants the players to gain momentum from their victories and climb the standings because they have a strong record against the Melbourne Stars.
In the most recent game, Josh Phillippe performed admirably, but James Vince’s form will worry the squad. Starting strong at the top is imperative for the duo. As he forges partnerships with Kurtis Patterson and Jordan Silk, Moises Henriques will aim to anchor the innings in the middle order. It will be the lower middle order that Tom Curran and Jack Edwards try to add runs to.
In this match, the bowling attack will have a formidable task before it, and Jack Edwards and Sean Abbott will need to play well with the new ball. Along with Tom Curran, Steve O’Keefe, who bowls well, will try to limit the run total. Ben Dwarshuis and Todd Murphy will also need to play well for the side.
Sydney Sixers
Moises Henriques (c), Josh Philippe (wk), Ben Dwarshuis, Jack Edwards, Todd Murphy, Steve O’Keefe, Kurtis Patterson, Jordan Silk, Sean Abbott, James Vince, and Tom Curran.
