Moen Ali and Chris Woakes are penalised by ECB?

Ali and Woakes are penalised with their place n second test for not taking a wicket in first test. Moen Ali has been under scanner for some time. His batting average is under 20 in the last matches. His bowling is also not promising either. He is taking wicket for every 115 runs conceded. Ben Stokes did not bowl in the first test as he is yet to recover from injury. He is likely to boel in second test. If so, England will have the previlage to include a batsmen. Pathetic batting in the first innings is the major reason for their defeat. England only managed to score 58 runs in first innings which costed them the test by innings and 48 runs. Jack leech might make his debut for England. Mark Wood along with James Vince is included in the side.

Ish Sodhi to play in second test?

Ish Sodhi, Who was left out for first test , is certain to play in second test. He has been performing exceptionally well in first class cricket. He might be the lone spinner in the line up. Their bowling is power packed with Trent Boult and Tim Southee.

PSL Final: Islamabad United Vs Peshawar Zalmi Live score

Peshawar Zalmi will lock horns with Islamabad United in the final of Pakistan Super League of 2018 edition. Both teams have already won PSL title before. So we will have a champion who will have won the title twice after final of 2018. Peshawar Zalmi is the defending champion of the title. Islamabad United are the first to win the PSL title.

Can Islamabad win without Misbah ul haq

Misbah ul haq will continue to miss the final of PSL after sustaining hairline fracture.  Misbah ul haq has already missed first quarter of Islamabad United, where they underperformed under Ruman Raees.  Since Misbah took over the captaincy, There is no stopping for Islamabad United.  Luke Ronchi has been the game changer for Islamabad United. Whenever Luke Ronchi scores, Islamabad are triumphant. Islamabad has the best batting lineup in the tournament. They can go out and try to hit every ball out of park as they have all-rounder till no 10. Alex Hales opted to stay out of the matches to be played in Pakistan.Sam billings also chose to take Hales path. Cahndrick Walton or Samuel Badree will play in final.

Zalmi’s journey to retain title

Zalmi’s journey has always been balanced unlike Islamabad, which u turned after first quarter. Zalmi started PSL  by losing against Multan Sultans. Peshawar has highest wicket taker and Highest runs corer in PSL. Kamran Akmal, has scored in 928 runs in his PSL scorer. Wahab Riaz is just 4 wickets away to become the first man to pick 50 wickets in PSL Histrory. He has been getting good support from his co-pacer Hasan Ali. Peshawar Zalmi is likely to stick with same playing eleven , as Tamim Iqbal is ruled out from final due to injury.

Cricinfo Predcictions

Peshawar Zalmi to retain title.

Hasan Ali will pick two or more wickets.

Quetta VS Peshawar Live scorecard, Preview

We will witness first eliminator between Quetta Gladiators and Peshawar Zalmi. These two team stood fourth and third in the points table. Winner in this match will face Karachi kings, who lost against Islamabad United in Qualifier. Islamabad United, who stood first in league stage, is the first team to confirm berth in finals. Unfortunately  there is rain threat for today’s match. If rain washes out today’s match, Peshawar Zalmi will move forward as they stood higher in league stage .

Momentum with Quetta

There will be lot of team changes as the qualifiers and eliminators will be held in Pakistan. Many of foreign players have opted not to play in Pakistan. Peshawar has the best batsmen in PSL, more importantly he is in form. Whichever team wins the toss will elect to field first as rain around the corner. There is big boost for PSL as many of foreign players decided to play in Pakistan.

Peshawar will start as hot favourites for the eliminator. They have their skipper Darren Sammy in Pakistan to lead their side. Tamim Iqbal, Mustafizur and Mahamadullah Riyadh have reached Pakistan after reliving from national duty, Bangladesh had a great tri nation t20 competition, in which they ended as runners up. So Peshawar will be playing to its full strength. Thisera Perrera, who was picked up Multan Sultans initially, did not play a game in PSl-3. He was picked as a substitute Player by  Quetta Gladiators. Quetta Gladiators lost their two key players in the form of Shane Watson and Kevin Pieterson, Who decided not to play in Pakistan. Jason Roy is another intl player to opt out from playing in pakistan along with Pieterson and Shane Watson.

Zalmi to play against Karachi kings in Eliminator-2.

Nidhas trophy: India VS Bangladesh, Live Score, FINAL

After a thrilling win last over Bangladesh will face India in the final of Nidhas trophy. Srilanka started the trination series with a win, but couldn’t win another game in the tournament. Considering the overall performance of Srilanka and Bangladesh. India would have preferred to face Bangladesh on any day.

  • Washington Sunder is the key bowler.
  • India has never lost a T20 international against Bangladesh.

Openers are crucial

Openers are the key in today’s final between India and Bangladesh. Rohit Sharma has ended his run crises just before the match. He scored 88 in the match against Bangladesh and also picked man of the match. Shikhar Dhawan missed out in the last match. He failed to provide a good start with Rohit Sharma in last match against Bangladesh. Washington Sunder has picked 7 wickets in the four matches he played at a very decent average of 13.42. Indian batting department was took care by top 5 in all the matches. Even in the losing match , India did not let Vijay Shanker and Sunder to perform.  Mohammed Siraj might not play in the final match. India’s hope in pace department are Shradul Thakur. We should wait if India will continue wih KL Rahul, who got a chance in last match. Expectations are very high on Washington Sunder.

Bangladesh Hopes on Mushfiqur Rahim

Bangladesh will never get a better chance to win a tri nation tournament. India are not playing with their full strength, but Bangladesh retained their full strength with the comeback Sakhib ul hasan.Riyadh played an Exceptional knock getting a good start from Tamim Iqbal and support from  Mudshfiqur Rahim. Rahim is the top run scorer from both the teams participating in final. He scored 190 runs in the four matches he played. Not seeing their home team in final after opening points column fist among all the teams. might disappoint hosts.

Jaydev Unadkat .,who leaked to many runs, has to contain runs this match. Players like Mohd Siraj , All rounder Deepak Hooda and Akshar Patel haven’t got a game in the tournament have to wait further to prove. Biggest concern for team management is Rohit Sharma’s from.
