Live score: Pakistan Vs New Zealand

Can Pakistan continue their dominance in UAE?

Pakistan team is looking unstoppable on UAE soil. Now they play against  New Zealand after whitewashing Australia in their adopted home,UAE. If Pakistan wins thi series, this would be eleventh  consecutive  series victory on UAE soil.

Fakhar  Zaman, who is the best t20 batsmen in the team is unavailable  for this series. In his absence Babar Adam is undoubtedly the best batsmen  in the team. He is averaging  above 72 in the t20’s he played in 2018. His cautious  batting  at the top is allowing players like Faheem  Ashraf,  Shoiab  Malik  attack opposition  bowlers .Shoiab  Malik Joined the squad after the first t20 against Australia. His experience  is definitely  enhancing  youngstars performance. Sarfaraz Ahmed cannot  be over confident  and should keep Asia  Cup’s failure  in mind.

Pakistan  are majestic  side when playing  in UAE. They are clear favorites   against  New Zealand. New Zealand  last played their information  was in 2018 March. Players should come themselves  to be lucky for the hiatus in modern era, where  others boards are resting  their players to save them from exhaustion . But some of their players are in touch with spectators  by participating  in t20 leagues. Collin Munro played a crucial  role for his franchise in CPL.  Correy Anderson is also part of somerset, who reached finals in Natwest t20 blast. Martin Guptil, who is leading  t20 run scorer, is unavailable  for his team. Still they got talent in the form of Glen Phillips and Kane Williamson. Mitchel Satner is not part of the tour.  So Ajaj  Patel will partner with Ish Sodhi  in spin department.

Predictions

In a t20 if your are to pick a side to win on the basis first or second  batting. One would prefer chasing  team. Win percentage  while chasing is definitely  higher on any part of soul except UAE . Most of the games played here are won by team batting  first. Infant all the games won by Pakistan against  Australia  in last series are while batting  first . So team winning  the toss will opt to bat.

Mumbai: India Vs West Indies Live score, Ball by ball commentary

MumbaI:India Vs West Indies live score


India are undisputed  favorites before the start of ODI  tournament  . But winning  a series is not an easy task for them  .series which is expected  to be one side,  surprisingly placed at 1-1. While West Indies  are making  India fight hard, India are ready for another  outing. Fourth of five match ODI series will be played on Monday. Mumbai will host the match, but Whankade is not the stadium.  Bourborne stadium  will host it’s ODI since 2006. So not a lot of statistics  can be derived.

Can middle order stand?

It’s now all open, the weak link of Indian team is it’s middle  order. Both bowling  and top order have done decent  job, its the middle order which could not complete a modest task. Kohli added on more run in centuries column.  But its only third of 23 times India lost when he scored a century while chasing.

India could have experimented if they had last game. KL Rahul and Manish Pandemonium could have got a game at no 5 slot.  With Kedhar Jadhav  joining the side, India might think including him in place  of Rishabh pant. Dhoni is not expected  to sit as we have  seen him practice  vigorously in the nets. One more change anticipated is Ravindra  Jadeja replacing Khaleel Ahmed.

West Indies should  be happy for winning  against a full string Indian side. Umesh yadav  is the best  bowler in the calendar  year by picking forty-one wickets in 18 matches he played. The best thing about this west Indian side is that the side took it for granted  as underdogs. They are playing fearless  cricket  and not bothered about  losing  the game. Still they have lot of scope to improvise. Their batting utterly  failed if you keep Dhai  Hope’s and Shimrom Hetmyer’s performances aside. Marlon  Samuels has done literally nothing  to the side in this ongoing series.

Predictions

Unlike Whankade, this is not a high scoring  game.

Teams would like to chase.

Virat Kohli’s to score a century again.

Livescore: Pakistan Vs Australia Live score, Ball by ball commentary

Live score: Pakistan Vs Australia

Australia  are yet to taste win after they set foot  in UAE. Their best performance  was only a draw, result of the first  test. They lost both the t20’s and result won’t be same if they  don’t improvise.

Will Australia be whitewashed?

Pakistan have won their 10th successive t20 series in UAE. Since 2016,they have not lost a t20 series.  Which is a record you would be proud of in any era. Fakhar Zaman  is 141 runs far from Virat  Kohlis record of most t20 runs scored by any batsmen in a calendar year. Though he is far, on his day Fakhar Zaman is potent  of scoring them on his day. His opening  partnership  with Babar  Azam seemed to be clicked for Pakistan. Pakistan  defended both the games with modest totals. They proved what advantages a team can have while playing at home. Knowing  the behavior  of pitch, they assess winning  score.

Only positive  for Australia  to take from second  T20is improvement. After being collapsed in first ODI. Their losing  margin is reduced in second  ODI. Darcy short  was out on a controversial  decision. These decisions  become more significant when you lose the match by little margin.

Australia  team looked more confidant  after the joining of Mitchell Marsh. They are likely to stick with same side. If they are to change,  it would be to accommodate  Ben McDermott In place of Alex carry. They would  not drop Glenn Maxwell after he scored  half century, which is the only performance could have won the game for Australia  in last game.

Australian  top three batsmen  are failing  even to score a double  digit. This is the area where there is lot of scope for Australians to improve.

Pitch conditions

Pitch is more or less the same in first two t20’s.  It is expected  to be same for the third.spinners will have crucial  role to play.  Imad Wasim is the best spinners  in both the sides.

Pune: Ind Vs WI Live score, Ball by Ball Commentary, Preview

Ind Vs WI Live score

Ongoing  series  against  West Indies  is not going  as easy  as we thought. India had to work hard to save from Defeat from last game.  Visitors scored in excess  of 300 in both the matches. We should  wait and see if they could  do it  again after Bumrah and Bhuvaneswar Kumar join the side for the third ODI.

Can Bumrah and Bhuvi help India to dominate ?


Pune will host the third ODI on Saturday. Team India’s self confidence  has been increased after joining  of the two premiere pace Bowlers Jasrith Bumrah, Bhuvaneswar  Kumar.  They were rested keeping  in the hectic schedule  ahead. Though lack of their availability  is exploited by opposition , India should believe  that its an opportunity  to rectify.

West Indies  refrained India from leading the series  2-0. Vizag continued  to be memorable from West Indies. West Indian fans can see future in the form of Sharon Hetmyer.  He was the man of the series in CPL. He continued his form by scoring  to back to back centuries. He would be unsatisfied  for getting out at crucial stages on both the occasions, from where West Indies could have won the games. Shai Hope is another prospect  for  West Indies. He is been under the shade of Sharon Hetmyer.

Dhawan  is 144 runs away from becoming  fastest Indian to score  5000runs in ODI’s. He is not likely to finish the milestone considering  his  current form.

Pitch  conditions

Pune’s pitch is usually  a high scoring  venue .But it can dupe some times. New Zealand  were able to score only 230 in the last game played here.But India were able to chase it without   any hurdles. There is no forecast  of rain for the third ODI.

Predictions

  • Team chasing  to win the match.
  • Team winning  the toss will opt to chase.
  • No centuries  to be scored  on this wicket.

Dubai: Australia Vs Pakistan Live scorecard

Australia Vs Pakistan Preview, live score card

Australia  and Pakistan move to Dubai to play second t20. Fist t20,held in shariah, was wondering by Pakistan .Australia need to fight hard to level the series. Only phase where Australia  looked confidant  is the middle phase of Pakistan’s innings.

Pitch Conditions

Pitch is expected  to be batter friendly only one. Dew might not be efficient, So spinners won’t have tough time to bowl second. Team winning  the toss usually  bats first under this circumstances.

Aron finch discount  fans by not scoring  a single run in the first T20. He need to be among if Australia  are to win the match. In fact nine if the top 6 batsmen  did half the j oh b needed. It was Ashton  Agar performed, which only helped to reduce the margin amount runs won by Pakistan.

Pakistan seem gifted to have such an attack. But like their batting  in history, their bowling  is also inconsistent in recent  times. Faheem Ahead who opened the bowling with Imad Wasim contributed with three wickets.

Hasan Ali also proved how Ominous  he could be on  UAE wickets. Only change anticiapated from Pakistan sie is Shoib Malik, who is unavailable for first T20I has joined the squad. Whatever happens, Pakistan will stick to the same bowling line up. Picking up six wickets is their best performance in T20I’s.

Where to watch Australia VS Pakistan Live ?

Catch all the live action on Sony Six HD from 930pm IST.

Predictions

  • Lynn to score half century.
  • Expect more than 350 run on the wicket.
  • Darcy short to score 30+
  • Australia to win the match.

Though Pakistan won the game, they have hot lot of boxes to be checked. It was cameo of Hasan Ali at the end end, which helped Pakistan to reach 157 after being collapsed on 133/8. They also witnessed a batting debacle

Sri Lanka VS England, Fifth ODI, Live score

England have won the series  with a match to go.  Organizers are facing huge criticism  for holding  the tournament in monsoon. All the four matches held are interrupted by rain. Fortunately three of them ended to be result yielding  one. There is rain threat to the final Odi  as well. But we have a reserve day if it doesn’t happen.

Where: R Premadasa stadium will host the final ODI.

With World Cup just nine months away.  Sri Lanka has lot to be sorted out.  They were dominated by even Afghanistan in the Asia Cup. Though they lost the series with many interruptions, they never played like an international  team to seek sympathy.  They did not dominate in any session .

England are firm favorites for final ODI also.  Eoin Morgan to has selection issues.  They are already well prepared for the tournament. The real fight is between  the combination  of teams.  Even it’s hard in Olly stone tonne left out. Alex hales played in the last ODI and l I’m jelly to keep his place.

Pitch conditions

Pitch is definitely  a batting  friendly  one. Sri Lankans should plan themselves  to score big.  You never know what is the par score against an opposition like England,whose batting strength  is massive.

England might think about resting Eoin Morgan. In that scenario Jos  Butler will take the charge.  If so,  we can anticipate him coming up the order.He always prefers to bat as opener. Jason is one more player expected to be rested. Making will sure be saved especially  when the match outcome is insignificant  to series result.   Kusal Mendis is considered  as future of Sri Lankan cricket. So he will get more chances than anyone  else .

Cricinfo Prediction

  • England to win the match.
  • Team batting first to score in excess of 280.
  • Jos Butler to score Fifty

Bangladesh VS Zimbabwe, Live Score,Ball by ball commentry

Bangladesh VS Zimbabwe Live score Card


Bangladesh is coming  in to the tournaments with confidence. They should  be happy after completing  as runners up in Asia Cup.  Now they host a tour against Zimbabwe.  Zimbabwe  and Bangladesh  have played against  each other  more than against  any otger team. They have played 69 games  against  each other, Bangladesh won 40  among them. 27 of those forty victories are registered at home.

  • First of five match ODI will be played on Sunday.
  • Sakhibul Hassan in not part of squad due to injury.
  • Litton Das to open the batting.

Cricinfo predictions

  • Zimbabwe to win the match
  • Brandon Taylor to score half century.

Bangladesh  struggled  at opening  wicket.  But seems like its been sorted after the century  run partnership between  Litton Dad and Mehady Hasan has scored 122 run partnership in final of Asia Cup, against India .but only slit us available  for the grabs. Tamim Iqbal is out of the side dye to injury. Most of the Bangladesh  players have made their debuts against Zimbabwe. It’s been seventeen years since Mashrafe Mortaza made debut against Zimbabwe .Even Sakhib and Taking have made their debuts against  Zimbabwe Three Bangladesh  batsmen has scored more than thousand rubs against  Zimbabwe  in history. One Mushfiqur Rehman is part of the squad.

Zimbabwe  has amplified  it’s team strength after return Brandon Taylor. He took a kolpak deal and been unavailable  for the team over the years. He has scored most runs against  Zimbabwe  than any one else n ODI history. He amassed mover 1200 runs in just 46 innings. Two more batsman  in the squad has also scored more than thousand  runs. Onus on Hamilton  Masakadza is definitely  attenuated after inclusion  of Brandon Taylor. They have decent  all-rounder in form of Elton Chigumbura, who has well accustomed to conditions by playing  in BPL. Team winning the toss would like to restrict under 300.

Cricinfo: India VS West Indies Live Score,ball by ball commentary, Preview

Cricinfo scores preview:

Only seven months to go to historic  World Cup. India will play eighteen ODI’s before it. Team India should sort all the problem before entering the mega tournament. This is the easiest  of the tournaments left before World Cup. Winning the series  Five-Nill might not be hard for India, but it should aim for it. This is an excellent  opportunity for them to sort middle order conundrum. This series enables team India to vet the talent of some young players like Pant and Khaleel. Gawhati  will host the first of five ODI’s according to cricinfo schedule.

Live score Card

  • Catch all the live action from Star sports 1 HD.
  • Virat Kohli is just 221 runs away from completing 10000 run Mike Stine in ODI cricket.
  • Ambati Rayudu to play at Number 4.

Though India won Asia cup without sweating much, it’s middle order conundrum  is not sorted. Openers Right Sharma  and Shikhar  Dhawan  performed good,  they did not get proper  support from middle order.  With Virat  Kohli joining the squad, it can forget the no 3 slot. India tried many players like Kedhar Jadhav, Manish Panadey , Finish KArthik e.t.c, none of them have been consistent.  Rayudu has performed  great in the place Virat  Kohli in Asia Cup, now India will try him at number 4. Rishabh Pant is likely to make his debut, at number 5. Keeping World Cup in mind,  Team India has rested Bumrah Japsrit and Bhuvaneswar Kumar to reduce  work load. Shammi, Umesh  Yadav will share responsibilities along with Khaleel Ahmed in pace department.  Ravindra  Jadeja  and Kuldeep  Yadav will share spin spell.

West Indies  aren’t as easy as to defeat in ODI’s like tests. Few prolific players have joined the squad.  All their hopes are on Marlon Samules, captain holder Alzari Jeoseph and Devendra Bishoo. Even a win fro them on this tour is moral victory .

Cricinfo Predictions

  • Kohli to score a century.
  • Devandra bishoo to pick one or more wickets.

Preview:

Sri Lanka will try to level the series against England  in third ODI. England won the second  ODI by duck worth  Lewis. First ODI between these two sides has been washed due to rain.

Sri Lanka must have been disappointed  after losing the ODI. They did decent job to restrict England  to under 300, especially  when you consider strength  of England  batting. England bowlers  should  be attributed for giving  quick enough break throughs.  It was the wickets  column  which fetched  England the match.  Run rate was very much under the control ,especially  in modern day cricket.

Tharanga was dismissed  without getting  of the mark.  He was the backbone of their batting since Mahela Jayawardane and Sangakara had retired. Srilanka once again proved their inconsistency in batting. Some sort of resistance was showed by Perrera  before the rains arrived ,but score was 33 runs short to fetch them game.

Forecast for the day is not promising.  It’s always Risky to host a serious  in rainy season. We might have third rain effective  game. It’s been raining  since morning  of game day.  Pitch is definitely a batting friendly one.  If England bats first, 350 is definitely  on the cards.

Sri Lanka are definitely forced to make at least  one change.  Kusal  Peewee is out if the series  with quad injury.  Sadeera Samarawickrama is announced as his replacement. Liam plunked has landed in Srilanka after his wedding. But he is unlikely to get a game.

Dawason might have to sit out accommodate variety in pace bowling. Sam curran  has higher chance than his brother tom to be in his team. This fixture doesn’t have a have reserve day unlike the second ODI. Srilanka will have to win if have they have plane to win the series. Srilankan grounds have topnotch drainage system. So let’s keep fingers crossed until game finishes
