Zim VS Pakistan Livescorecard

Zim Vs Pak Live Scorecard


Pakistan is high unlikely to not wrap the series today. Zimbabwe will lock horns with Pakistan on Wednesday. Pakistan had convincing wins the first two games. This being a three match series, Pakistan just need one more win to wrap the series up.

Can Zimbabwe taste their first win?

Zimbabwe did not change their side in second ODI, This might indicate that they fell they are playing with best side. In that case they might not change their side third ODI either. They don’t have the bench strength to rely on Only possible change could be is Elton Chigumburra replacing a lower order batsmen. Hamilton Masakadze scored a fifty in their last game. But that won’t suffice to compensate the failures he is piling up. They never bothered Pakistan in the first two ODI’s. They did not taste victory in the T20I series also.

Will Yasir Shah and Mohd Hafeez have their bite?

Pakistan won the t20I series on this tour. They were defeated only once after on this tour, against Australia in second T20 of the series. Unlike hosts, They can dare to vet their bench strength.  Mohd Hafeez would like to be in the playing XI. Yasir Shah would also like o come back against a team like Zimbabwe. He is away from the side for two years. There are couple of players who wouldn’t mind to be rested. Mohd Aamir is one among the category. With world cup one year away, Pakistan wouldn’t risk on Aamir’s fitness too much, Especially against Zimbabwe. Hasan Ali has a weird injury in second ODI. He injured himself while celebrating a wicket with his trademark celebration.

Babar Azam didnt look out of touch after coming out of injury. It highly unlikely fir him to finish the season without a century, Shoaib Malik will complete 7000 ODI runs this season. Pakistan would like to bat first to in order to give their batsmen more time. Zimbabwe would like to chase as the ground is suitable for chasing

Cricinfo Predictions

Pakistan to erap the series.

Babar Azam to score fifty.

Lords : India Vs England Second ODI live scorecard

Second ODI Livescore card

India  Won comprehensively won the ODI at trent bridge. This being a three match ODI series, India  needs one more win to clicnch the series. Both teams move to London to play the second ODI. Its a do or Die situation for England but for not India. We will have a early start than normal. Tune in to your tv by 330PM IST for Live action. Lords will host the second ODI between India and England

England woes playing spin

If England wish to win the series, they should learn to tackle Kuldeep yadav. They cannot afford to lose to him. England registered hughest ODI score at trent bridge couple of weeks back against the a Aussies. Kuldeep is the only difference between the teams.  Chahal is also extending his hand of support. This makes India clear favourites for the second ODI and Series. Non of the batsmen looked comfortable against Kuldeep. Alex Hales did not participate in the first ODI due to side injury. This helped in way to chose their playing XI. None of the other players had to sacrifice in order to welcome Ben stokes into the team. Though Ben stokes scored.

Kulchal performance

India found new spin duo, Chahal and Kuldeep. Theese two have the potential to become Kumble-Bhajji , Ravidra Jadeja- Ravi Ashwin. Kuldeep yadav was the man of the match in the last for wrecking English top order down. He picked up a five for in the last game and won the man of the match. He might also win a place in test squad after his performance. Kohli came in at number three in the first ODI and might alter the batting order according to situations. Sidtharth Kaul and Umeash Yadav should utilise the absence of Regulars like Bhuvaneswar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah.

Predictions

England to win the match

Virat Kohli to score fifty.

ODI: England Vs India Livescore card

Livescore card


India start as slight favourites after clinching t20 series against T20. India chased down 198 comfortably in final t20 at Cardiff. England people had a huge upset last night in another sport. They lost to Croatia in world semi-final yesterday. The whole nation would be in depressing phase as they have to wait another fours to get a chance to lift world cup. They are eight batsmen in top 20 ranked in ICC batting list.

Where to watch England Vs India Live Broadcast?

Catch all the live action on Sony Six HD from 5pm.
No wonder why hosts are number one ranked ODI side. They 8 in their last 9 ODI bilateral series including the last one against Aussies. They won’t change their side after they won against Aussies except to fit in Ben stokes. Be it any Player, it would be harsh on him to b excluded. the likely batsmen to be displaced from side is Alex Hales. He is already batting from his unusual position, number 3. He scored a century at Trent bridge against Aussies. England’s only concern is absence of Chris Woakes in bowling department. But this makes even Stevens as India are also playing with their number one bowler Jasprit Bumrah.

Can India stop England?

India have won all their last seven ODI series. When both these participated in a bilateral series was in India, Hosts won the series with 2-1 in a three match series. English bowlers were ineffective on flat decks. Like England’s, India batting line is such strong that it would be harsh on any one to be dropped. Virat Kohli,the best in business by far, even dropped himself to No 4 to optimize batting strength. If KL Rahul is to open the batting. One of Rohit Sharma or Shikhar Dhawan will be out of the side. This might happen as Rohit Sharma is yet to clear fitness test.
India VS England Predictions
England to win the match.
Virat Kohli to score century
