England vs Pakistan ODI 3rd Match | FanFight Fantasy Cricket Preview

England vs Pakistan 3rd ODI: Pakistan’s woes continue as they remain winless yet another time against England in the 2nd ODI of the series. Their winless streak gets further extended to 8 games and they need to strongly look at making a comeback in the next game.  

PAKISTAN LOOK TO GET OFF THE MARK

However, there were a lot of positives from their previous game, which could give them the required motivation. Though they lost the match, they did put up a great fight while chasing a mammoth target of 374, set by the hosts. Pakistan managed to score 361 in their 50-over spell, with Fakhar Zaman being their star batsman. Well, a total of 734 runs was scored in 100 overs, which gives us a glimpse of what we can expect in the upcoming World Cup, which is played here in England.

England have continued their top form by showing their dominance in yet another match. It was an entire team effort with remarkable performances coming in from Jos Buttler (110*), Eoin Morgan (71*) and Jason Roy (87). All of their batsman who had come out to bat had in fact played a decent knock, which proves the batting strength in the side. They will be looking to continue the same momentum and make themselves ready for the World Cup.

The Men in Green looked strong while batting, with their top order rising up to the occasion and delivering it for their team. However, the team looked pale while bowling, as they were unsuccessful in breaking partnerships and could only manage to restrict 3 batsmen. There is no doubt that every team today is eyeing the World Cup and Pakistan is no different. In order to better their chances of winning the coveted cup, Pakistan needs to focus and improve on all aspects of the game.

PITCH REPORT

Unlike the previous pitch, the County Ground in Bristol might not offer runs in a platter. The ground has hosted 4 domestic ODI’s this season and the 300-run mark has only been crossed once. Though it might not aid the batsmen completely, it does offer suitable batting conditions and a score of 280-295 can be a good target.

WEATHER REPORT

The sun is going to shine bright in Bristol during the course of the match. There are absolutely no signs of rain and the players will be playing under a temperature of 20-degree Celsius.

TEAM COMBINATIONS

PAKISTAN

Pakistan will be keen to get their bowling unit together and let their seniors take the baton from the younger lot. Junaid Khan is expected to make a comeback while Faheem Ashraf might be rested. Shaheen Afridi, Junaid Khan and Hasan Ali will form a brilliant pace attack, while Imad Wasim and Yasir Shah will be their spinning options. Also, Shoaib Malik is set to make his comeback in the game and could replace Haris Sohail.

Probable Playing XI: Imam-ul-Haq, Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, Haris Sohail/Shoaib Malik, Sarfraz Ahmed (C & wk), Asif Ali, Imad Wasim, Faheem Ashraf/Junaid Khan, Hasan Ali, Yasir Shah, Shaheen Afridi.

ENGLAND

With Jofra Archer and Adil Rashid missing their net sessions, they are most likely to be dropped in this game. Rashid might be replaced with Joe Denly, who can be a lethal batsman and can also provide his services as a bowler. Their top 5 batsmen had a good outing in their first game and will feature in this game too. Captain Eoin Morgan would be expecting an improved performance from the pacers.

Probable Playing XI: Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan (C), Jos Buttler (wk), Joe Denly, Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Liam Plunkett, David Willey

PROBABLE TOP PERFORMERS

Jason Roy (England) | Babar Azam (Pakistan)

Bangladesh vs West Indies 5th Match ODI Tri Series 2019 | Fantasy Cricket Preview

Bangladesh vs West Indies 5th ODI: The 5th ODI of the Tri-Nation series will feature Bangladesh taking on West Indies at The Village stadium, in Ireland. Both the teams look to be in a good form. While West Indies are posting and chasing colossal targets, Bangladesh could only manage to play and win 1 match in the series so far, with the other game getting washed out. However, Bangladesh’s one victory came against the Windies, where they won by 8 wickets.

THE TRI-NATION SO FAR…

After a dominating performance against Ireland in their previous game, the Caribbeans, by all means, will look to put up a similar performance. Their previous game saw them chase down a record highest total, after the hosts Ireland set a target of 328. It was a valiant effort by Sunil Ambris, who led the attack for the team with a brilliant knock of 148, with great support coming in from the middle-order as well. It was a great batting display by the Windies who winded up the game with 5-wickets in hand.

Bangladesh will be a little disappointed for not making it to the finals yet, with their previous game getting washed out. However, they look in their top-form, coming after a victory against West Indies in their first game. The Mashrafe Mortaza-led team will be hoping to redo the performance and cruise into the finals of the series, where they again play against West Indies.

Bangladesh’s senior brigade had a good first game, with half-centuries by trio Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Al Hasan & Soumya Sarkar and captain Mashrafe Mortaza taking 3-wickets to his name. These 4 players will be very crucial in this game too, and the players will be prepping themselves to live up to the expectations. It is also important for Bangladesh to maintain consistency in their performance, with the World Cup, just weeks away. Though they won’t be considered as favourites to win the cup before the start of the tournament, they do possess strong capabilities of disappointing any big team, and they have shown that in the past too.

PITCH REPORT

This pitch can be considered as one of the biggest batting heavens in World Cricket, considering Saturday’s game which was played here. A total of 658 runs was scored here in 97.5 overs which only proves the nature of the pitch. Fast bowlers need to be more careful and should stick to their line and length.

WEATHER REPORT

It is going to be cloudy during the start of the game but there are no signs of rain. There will be clear skies with the sun is expected to shine bright. The temperature will be around 15-degree Celsius with no humidity.

TEAM COMBINATIONS

BANGLADESH

Bangladesh selection committee has recently announced the inclusion of Taskin Ahmed in their World Cup squad. They had dropped him initially, citing injury reason, but looks like the fast bowler has recovered well in time to feature in the prestigious tournament. Bangladesh might want to include him in the game tomorrow in place of Mustafizur Rahman, who was not at his best in the previous game. Batsmen Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar and Shakib will look to continue their good form. Mahmudullah, Mithun and Sabbir Rahman will also be looking to get some exposure before the finals.

Probable Playing XI:

Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mohammad Mithun, Mahmudullah, Sabbir Rahman, Mohammad Saifuddin, Mashrafe Mortaza (c), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mustafizur Rahman/Taskin Ahmed.

WEST INDIES

Though Windies look to be in a good form, they must ensure to continue with the same level of performance against a formidable bowling attack. The top order has risen up to the occasion and the top 3 batsmen, Sunil Ambris, Shai Hope and John Campbell have all scored centuries in the series. Shai Hope, in fact, is the only player amongst the three to score a consecutive century against the Bangla tigers too, in their 2nd ODI. However, Bowling looks a little concerning for them. After a remarkable performance in the opening game, they had failed to deliver similar results in the next two games. They had only managed to pick up seven wickets in their previous two outings.

Probable Playing XI:

Shai Hope (wk), Sunil Ambris, Darren Bravo/Shane Dowrich, Roston Chase, Jonathan Carter, Jason Holder (c), Fabian Allen/Raymon Reifer, Ashley Nurse, Kemar Roach, Sheldon Cottrell, Shannon Gabriel

PROBABLE TOP PERFORMER

IPL 2019 MI vs CSK Grand Finale | FanFight Fantasy Cricket Preview

CSK vs MI: This IPL has been the most unpredictable one. SRH made it to the playoffs with the lowest points ever in the IPL, while the difference between the top team and bottom one has been a mere 7 points, least in all seasons. RCB recorded the highest number of consecutive defeats but rose like a phoenix making everyone wonder if they could make it to the playoffs. After 59 games, when the dust settled, we now have the 2 teams, which seemed like an obvious choice towards the start of the tournament.

The final is between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians. While CSK has been to the finals more than any other team, MI equals the record for highest title wins, with the former. With this victory, one team will strip the other off the title of highest title winner. We couldn’t ask for a more exciting finale.

THE STORY SO FAR…

Talking about this season specifically, Chennai Super Kings have been a more balanced side. They dismantled the opposition in every game with a strong batting and bowling attack. However, they turned blue in games against Mumbai Indians. Mumbai Indians have beaten CSK on all three occasions, this IPL season. To add to CSK’s woes, none of the three defeats against MI have been close ones; they have all been comprehensive victories for MI.

CSK faced MI 5 days ago in MA Chidambaram Stadium, where the hosts conceded a victory to the opposition. However, CSK bounced back from that performance in the second qualifier game against Delhi Capitals. CSK restricted the opposition to 147 and chased that total in 19 overs with 6 wickets in hand. The victory against the inform DC may give the men in yellow, the much-needed confidence before they go into the game against MI.

The two teams will face each other at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium to fight the biggest battle of this season for the coveted trophy. Who will it be?

PITCH REPORT

The track in Hyderabad been very unpredictable. What started off as a batsmen’s paradise, turned into a slower track mid-season and then back to supporting batsmen. While the highest score of the tournament was recorded at this ground, with SRH putting a total of 231 runs against RCB, this ground has also been the home to best bowling figures of the tournament by Alzarri Joseph, who claimed six wickets for 12 runs. The team winning the toss should opt to bat first, as out of the seven matches played at RGIS, four were won by the team, batting first.

WEATHER REPORT

The forecast eliminates the possibility of rain during the course of the match. The temperature is expected to hover around 30 and 35 degrees Celsius. The humidity is forecasted to be under the 50 per cent mark, hence limiting the role of dew in the game.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

Mumbai Indians have won majority of the 29 games they played against Chennai Super Kings. MI have won 17 games, while CSK have 8 wins to their name. Although MI have more victories to their name, CSK have a reputation of putting up special performances and coming on top, in games that matter. The teams haven’t faced each other on RGI Stadium, as yet.

Matches this year

Mumbai: MI won by 37 runs

Chepauk: MI won by 46 runs

Chepauk(Qualifier 1): MI won by 6 wickets.

TEAM COMBINATIONS

Mumbai Indians

Jayant Yadav may make way for Mitchell McClenaghan, given the nature of the track. The onus will be on Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock, who have been consistent in the tournament so far. If they manage to put a good start, it may reduce the pressure off the middle order batsmen. Ishan Kishan, who put up a good show in the last match against CSK, will play a critical role for his side. The pace department for MI seems strong with the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Lasith Malinga.

Probable XI: Rohit Sharma (C), Quinton de Kock (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Krunal Pandya, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Mitchell McClenaghan, Rahul Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah, Lasith Malinga

Chennai Super Kings

Contrary to popular opinion, Dhoni has been pitching for a team with stronger bowling XIs. He had recently stated that the CSK needs six bowlers and as a result, Mohit Sharma may come in place of Shardul Thakur. In recent games, CSK’s opening pair has been putting up a consistent performance, which is a big relief for the team and the middle order batsmen. Chennai, possibly has, the best bowling side in this season. With Deepak Chahar, Harbhajan and Tahir all in good form, they could restrict MI batsmen to low totals.

Probable XI: Faf du Plessis, Shane Watson, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni (C & wk), Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, Harbhajan Singh, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur/Mohit Sharma, Imran Tahir

PROBABLE TOP PERFORMERS

Rohit Sharma- Mumbai Indians

Although Rohit put up a rather disappointing performance in the last game, having gone out for a mere 4 runs, he has been one of the most consistent players for the side. He has scored 390 runs at an average of 30, in last 14 matches. His team will look for him to deliver, taking the pressure off the middle order.

Faf du Plessis- Chennai Super Kings

Faf du Plessis who helped CSK steal a victory in the second qualifier game will be the player to look forward to, in this game. He is coming into this game very confidently, having won the title of Man of the Match in the last one. In his last four matches, Faf has scores of 39, 96, 6 and 50.

FANFIGHT FANTASY CRICKET TEAM FOR MI vs CSK GRAND FINALE

TEAM 1

TEAM 2

STAT ATTACK

Suresh Raina has been a big match player for CSK & has the record for most runs in IPL finals. Considering this will be their 8th IPL finals, the list is topped by CSK batsmen.

Suresh Raina – 241 runs with a strike-rate of 159

Murali Vijay – 181 runs, S/R: 147

MS Dhoni – 178 runs, S/R: 142

Chennai have played 7 finals so far. They’ve won 3 & lost 4.

Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, have beaten CSK twice in the finals. If they beat CSK in the night of the finals, it’ll be for two consecutive years that a team will go down 4 times against the same oppositions. CSK beat Hyderabad 4 times last year before lifting the IPL title.

Chasing hasn’t been the safest option in IPL finals. The teams batting 1st have won 63.60% of the games.

Rohit Sharma -4(Once with Deccan Charges, thrice with Mumbai Indians), Harbhajan Singh & Ambati Rayudu – 4(thrice with MI & once with CSK) will be chasing their 5th IPL title.

The prediction is for the team, batting second to win the match.

IPL 2019 CSK vs DC Qualifier 2 | FanFight Fantasy Cricket Preview

CSK vs DC: A week full of drama, exciting sporting action & nail-biting encounters. As a sports fan, there’s nothing more you can ask for. Liverpool came out of nowhere beating Barcelona 4-0 to reach the champions league finals. Delhi Capitals beat the Sunrisers from a very precarious position. Tottenham beat Ajax in the final seconds of the Champions League semi-finals. Hold your breath for yet another cracking encounter. The Chennai Super Kings take on the Delhi Capitals in 2nd qualifier & this for a place in the finals. The winners face Mumbai Indians who have only grown stronger.

THE GIST

Chennai were outclassed yet again by Mumbai Indians in the 1st qualifier. The turf was a rank turner & at their home venue, but CSK finished second best. Rahul Chahar has been mighty impressive with his wrist spinners & on the night of the qualifier 1, the crafty leggie was able to conjure his magic on the batters. He finished with figures of 4-0-14-2. Krunal Pandya conceded only 21 in his full quota of overs as CSK were restricted to a paltry 131. Surya Kumar Yadav’s unbeaten 71 & a timely 28 from Ishan Kishan saw the Mumbai Indians through to yet another IPL finals. Their 5th.

At Visakhapatnam, SRH had a decent record. The batsmen had to put up a decent score which they did. But, the bowling talent, which they rely on abundantly didn’t seem to work. Yes, Rashid Khan rose to the occasion once again, but it certainly wasn’t enough. Prithvi Shaw’s classy 56 off 38 got Delhi off to a flier. But when the batsmen started to depart, Rishab Pant accepted the batting onus & stamped his authority on the game. His 49 off 21 got them closer & Keemo Paul smashed the winning runs.

Appallingly, a win in this game will take Delhi to their first ever IPL finals. CSK, have been there done that numerous times. It’s the battle between the youngsters & the experienced campaigners.

MATCH DETAILS

When: 10th May 2019, Friday

Where: Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam

Match Start-Time: 7:30 PM IST

HEAD-TO-HEAD

CSK thrashed Delhi in both the encounters this year. They beat them by 6 wickets at the Feroz Shah Kotla & at Chepauk, the yellow side won by 80 runs. Delhi have never won a playoff match & to go up against a side who thrives in crunch situations will be a task.

Matches Played: 20

CSK Won: 14

DC Won: 6

It’s pretty apparent as to who the favourites are. But MS Dhoni would be wary of the quality DC brings on to the IPL table. CSK are the favourites to win this fixture, but DC have come so far not to chicken away. They’ll certainly pack a punch.

PITCH CONDITIONS & PREVIOUS RECORDS

The pitch here at the VDCA Stadium plays in unison for both the spinners & the pacers. Rashid Khan was able to extract plenty of bounce & sharp turn from the turf. CSK have in their ranks, the quality of Imran Tahir, Harbhajan Singh & Ravindra Jadeja. To alter their usage will be a test for MS, but the pacers also have to chip in. Variation in pace & certainly the slower bouncer seems to work on this wicket. Trent Boult has been disappointing this year but can he come good when his team needs him the most?

146 is the average 1st innings score on this wicket. The batsmen have to apply themselves & get on with stroke-making. Unless you’re a Prithvi Shaw or a Rishab Pant. Win the toss & field first on this wicket.

TEAM NEWS

Dhruv Shorey for Murali Vijay will be one change they’ll be looking at. Harbhajan Singh has continued his fine form & is expected to feature in the eleven.

Delhi are expected to retain the same playing XI that took the field against the SunRisers. They wouldn’t want to tweak with their winning combination.

EXPECTED PLAYING XI

CHENNAI SUPER KINGS

Faf Du Plessis, Shane Watson, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni(c/wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Shorey/Murali Vijay, Deepak Chahar, Dwayne Bravo, Harbhajan Singh, Imran Tahir.

DELHI CAPITALS

Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer(c), Rishab Pant(wk), Colin Munro, Axar Patel, Sherfane Rutherford, Keemo Paul, Amit Mishra, Trent Boult, Ishant Sharma.

THE BATTLE OF THE KEEPERS

Master vs apprentice. Teacher vs student. Ms Dhoni vs Rishab Pant. 37-year-old vs a 21-year-old youngster. These glovemen has been in tremendous form this year. Rishab Pant can win you games out of nowhere & MS Dhoni is a phenom as far as chasing down targets is concerned.

Pant this year has scored 450 runs already. Scored 684 last year & 366 in 2017. How good has the southpaw become?

This year in the matches DC have won, Pant has scored 358 runs at 59.66. His strike-rate in these innings, a colossal 179.

MS Dhoni, on the other hand, has batted in 10 innings, scored 405 runs at 135.00 & has remained unbeaten 7 times. Just when you thought, the wise couldn’t get any wiser, Dhoni does this.

As far as keeping wickets are concerned, Pant has 23 dismissals to his name while the wily old fox has 13. MS has been lightning fast behind the stumps & his reflexes might any youngster to shame. That’s how good he’s become. We’re in for an absolute treat. Fasten your belts & watch these two marauders smash the leather off of the Kookaburra.

TEAM 2

STAT ATTACK

Imran Tahir is 2nd on the wicket-taking list with 23 wickets & is only 2 behind Kagiso Rabada’s 25. The pacer, however, managed 25 in 12 games.

CSK’s average age is 30. MS Dhoni(37), Harbhajan Singh(38) & Imran Tahir(39) are the senior pros while Delhi have 12 players who are under the age of 25.
