Two fixture blocks decide it: Australia against New Zealand in the home summer, and the five-Test trip to India that follows. South Africa’s 176-run victory at Cape Town on the last day of October sealed a 2-1 series win and moved them to 71.43 PCT, second behind New Zealand on 72.22, with Australia third on […]
Gill finishes first. He starts the contest 47 rating points ahead of Mitchell, and the schedule gives both men the same two innings, which hands the advantage to the man already in front. India’s five-wicket win in Auckland on 4 November saw Gill make 37, while Mitchell scored 28 before a run-out by Rohit Sharma […]
Mustafizur Rahman will not feature in the Renegades’ opening match against Perth Scorchers, at Chennai on 12 December, because Dubai Capitals still need him in the ILT20. Melbourne confirmed the Bangladesh left-armer on 4 November and said he arrives once that duty ends. Realistically, that points to the Sydney Sixers game at the SCG on […]
Kohli needs 152 more ODI runs in New Zealand to pass Tendulkar’s tally of 821, the best by any Indian in that country, and he has four innings to find them. His 74 from 51 deliveries in Auckland on 4 November set up a five-wicket win and lifted his total from 596 to 670. That […]
Captaincy has not made Rohit Sharma a better batter, and Mumbai Indians should not expect it to. Across his ten full seasons leading the side, he returned an average of roughly 27.8 with a strike rate hovering around 130, whereas since 2024, with the armband gone, he has managed roughly 31.9 at 151.5. Mumbai are […]
The answer is simple: opening is where the runs come. Kishan averages 61.87 across nine ODI innings at the top, against 34 anywhere else, and the middle order has never matched that return. The catch is that India already have a settled pair in Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. Kishan is part of the squad […]
The figures back him as a bowler and say little about him as a batter. This left-arm spinner claimed 14 wickets at 6.29 an over for Kashi Rudras in 2025 and 10 at 5.44 in 2026, and he followed a Ranji Trophy debut five-for with a batting record of only 47 first-class runs. That makes […]
He can do it by fixing the powerplay and steadying the middle order, the two spots where innings kept stalling. Mumbai ended the season ninth, with four wins from fourteen games, eight points, and no batter past 500 runs. Their net run rate finished at -0.584. Those failures were specific, which makes them far more […]
West Indies are the pick for the 2nd Test in Sylhet, holding a 53% win probability against Bangladesh’s 47%. Our Bangladesh vs West Indies match prediction rests on momentum and bowling: the visitors won the 1st Test by 8 wickets, and Jomel Warrican’s 5/53 and 4/63 showed how much damage one bowler can do. This […]
Afghanistan are the pick for the 1st Test in Sharjah, holding a 54% win probability against Zimbabwe’s 46%. Our Afghanistan vs Zimbabwe match prediction rests on resilience and leadership: Rahmat Shah’s side survived a chase of 479 in Abu Dhabi to draw, and he is tipped for big runs again. This preview covers the toss […]
Matt Kuhnemann is the best choice on current evidence, with Nathan Lyon eased down rather than dropped outright. The left-armer has 25 Test wickets at 22.2, the strongest average among the realistic candidates, and he offers a different angle to the veteran’s off-spin. After a 2-1 series defeat in South Africa and a year of […]
Fakhar Zaman fits at the top of the order, and his hundred on 31 October against Sri Lanka in Lahore is the strongest evidence yet that he still belongs in the side. The left-hander’s 127 sealed a chase of 326, even though he scored just 31 runs in the rest of the tri-series. Pakistan have […]
Marco Jansen reached both summits through a single match in Gqeberha, where a five-wicket haul and a rapid 85 with the bat sent him to 876 bowling points and 451 all-rounder points in the ICC update of 28 October. Mitchell Starc and Ravindra Jadeja were the men he overtook. Neither climb is a statistical quirk, […]
