Sydney Thunder Vs Hurricanes Hobart Live Score card

Thunder Vs Hurricanes Live score card

Both the team’s are yet to take off in the tournament. Hobart Hurricanes are placed at the bottom,but they have played only one game in the tournament. Sydney Thunder started their tournament with a win,but couldn’t not maintain their momentum. Their next two games with Adelaide and Brisbane are forgettable. With their current form and performances there is lots of scope for improvement.

Who would want to be languishing at bottom of the table. Hobbart to move away from that position.This is their best chance because Sydney are struggling to come on track. They are a strong side under George bailey.Their recent recruit from carribean also showed some promise in Bangladesh premiere league.
Sydney is missing the services of Andre Russel. He is an Impact player in  This format. He played a crucial re when Sydney won their first title In 2015.

Srilanka VS India Live Score, Second T20I

Live cricket score

India VS Srilanka Preview

India had a great start to T20 series unlike ODI series. They won comprehensively in the first T20I. One positive point for Indians is they won in the absence  Virat Kohli and when Rohit Sharma did not play well. Srilanka merely fought to chase 180 total. Holkar Stadium, Indore, will host the second T20I.Which ever team shall win match will start celebrating Christmas early.

Though Rohit Sharma got  to a start, could not take in first T20I.  KL Rahul who partnered him went on to score a fifty. But One problem KL Rahul is facing in converting 50’s into hundreds. He failed to accelerate in the first T20I, which brought back Srilankan hopes. But Pandey and Dhoni did not let it happen. Dhoni finished off the innings with a six and ensured that Srilankans would chase more than 9 runs per over. Srilankan Bowling was also reckless in final over’s.  India team management might think about encouraging newbies lies Mohammed Siraj and Basil Thampi. Jaydev Unakdakt got lucky to a earn a place in the squad ahead on Sunder and Thampi. He provided India the first break through.

Only UPul Tharanga seemed to be the only player to perform in Srilankan players. He expressed his disgust after Srilanka failed to bat twenty over’s. Srilankan Batsmen once again collapsed post his dismissal. Dhoni did great glove work to dismiss him. None of the middle order or lower order batsmen impressed the spectators. Thisera Perrera had third consecutive defeat as captain. It was seventh consecutive defeat for Srilanka in the shortest international format. Team winning the toss might opt to chase considering the dew factor.

Cricinfo Predictions

Rohit Sharma to score 50.

Srilanka will win if they chase.

Upul Tharanga to score 50

Vishakapatnam: India VS Srilanka Third ODI, Live score

Indian to has arrived to its favorite place, izag, to play the decider against Srilanka. Srilanka has also an advantage playing here, climatic conditions are much similar to them. India won comprehensively at Mohali after forgetful first ODI. ROhit Sharma has registered his third ODI double hundred.He is the only man to score more than two double hundreds. There are four other players who has a ODI double. Sehwag and Sachin are the two other players from India to score ODI double. Gayle and Guptil are the other two non Indian players to score a ODI double.

ROhit Sharma dedicated his third ODI ton to his wife on the eve of their anniversary. With the current form he is in , It is impossible for Srilanks to stop him. Moreover he was unbeaten on last ODI. Rehane cannot sneak in to team after batting performance of India at Mohali.

One more chance for Srilanka?

Srilanka are yet to win a ODI series on Indian soill. Now they stand a chance to rewrite history under their new captain Perrera. Their Ace Pace bowler Lakmal who wrecked Indian top order at dharmasala struggled while bowling at mohali.71 runs were leaked from his 8  over’s. Even Nuwan Pradeep leaked in excess of 100 runs. They have too  many issues to fix in their bowling department.

Kuldeep or Sunder?

Manish Pandey and Dinesh Karthik failed to capitalise their chances at Dharmasala. They have not got a chance at Mohali. Washington Sundar became 220th player to represent India in ODI’s. India might go back to Kuldeep yadav considering the batting friendliness of Vizag’s pitch. Srilankan batting mainly dependent on Tharanaga, Perrea, mathews and gunathilaka.  Skipper Perrera hardly impressed anyone in the first two matches. Mathews in touch while chasing

BPL Final: Rangpur Raiders Vs Dhaka Dynamites Live score

BPL Live score


Rangpur Riders entered in to the BPL final 2017 by winning against Commila Victorians on reserve day. Comilla Victorians won hearts though they haven’t won the game. They have agreed to play the final on reserve day which they need not. Had they not agreed to play for reserve day they would face Dhaka Dynamites in the finals.

Chris Gayle is doubtful to participate in final after he got injured day before yesterday. Lasith Malinga might be his replacement. Johnson Charles and Brendon McCullum will make strong opening combination. They have good balanced side but have wait and see if they the potential to face Dhaka. Dhaka are firm favourites even before the stat of the game. With Narine Coming at no 9, they are by far the best batting in tournament. But Rangpur Raiders have 3-4 batsmen who are capable of playing 20 overs single handedly.

Good news for Rangpur is Chris Gayle is set to be available for the grand Finale. Johnson Charles was unbeaten on century yesterday. He is coming into final with form along with Brendon McCullum. They have got Ravi Bopara who can be handy at lower order and also with his bowling skills.Sakhib is the leading wicket taker in the tournament. He is recently appointed as test Skipper for national side. Mortaza has also contributed in batting to side. Bowling is definetly weaklink of Rangpur raiders. Shahid Afridi was awarded man of the match in the qualifier. So he will be part of final eleven.

Pitch is suited for batting. Expect a high scoring game on Tuesday.Catch all the live action on Gtv if you are Bangladesh.  You can also watch on youtube if you are from India

India Vs Srilanka Score Card,Preview

INDIA VS SRILANKA PREVIEW

India VS Srilanka Score Card


First of three match ODI series against Srilanka will commence from today. Srilanka has new skipper from now in the name of Thisera Perera. India also play with their acting skipper Rohit Sharma in the absence of  Regular Virat Kohli. Virat Kohli is unavailable from ODI tour due to his marriage. India will play this match without some of its key players. Dharmasala will host the first ODI.

Though India won the test series 1-0 , Srilanka is said to be over performed in test series. They entered as strong darkhorses in to the series. Much worse performance was expected from them . Only three players from test squad are in included in the ODI’s. Matthews, Niroshan Dickwella and Suranga Lakmal are three of them. Their skipper Thisers Perera.

India are firm favourites even in the absence of key players like Virat Kohli . Kedhar Jadhav is also not available to play. Shikhar Dhawan is also doubtful to participate in the ODI. Rehana is also not in great touch. Dhoni in recent times is not the Dhoni anymore in the tour. One positive for India is Hardhik  Pandya back in the team after being rested for Test series.Washington Sunder is named in the place of Kedhar JAdhav.

Rohit Sharma is has proved his leadership skills in IPL. He has won two titles in IPL. He has not proven his leadership skills at International Level. This is a golden opportunity for him in to prove his skills at apex level. Upul Tharanga has given up captaincy but was able sustain his place in the side. India is not as good as side played against New Zealand,

Pitch Report

Dharmasala has always been batting friendly. India scored 330 at this venue against West Indies when they last played here. No hurdles from whether are anticipcated.

Cricinfo Predictions

India to win.

Lakmal to pick two or more wickets.
