Pakistan vs South Africa 1st T20 Match Preview

February 11, 2021 by admin Leave a Comment

LAHORE: Babar Azam-led squad would be hoping to continue the winning momentum from the Test series when they take on South Africa in the first T20 at the Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium today.

The Green Shirts will also aim to collect the four available T20I ranking points ahead of T20 World Cup.
Pakistan are presently ranked fourth on the ICC T20I Rankings Table with 259 points, nine points behind India (268), while South Africa are fifth on 252 points.
If Pakistan sweeps the series, they will rise to 263 points, five points behind India, while South Africa will join New Zealand on 247 points but will be ranked below New Zealand on sixth points when the points are calculated beyond the decimal point.
What will Pakistan do?
For Pakistan too, there will be some notable omissions. Mohammad Hafeez has been left out, so has been Shadab Khan, who captained the side in the T20Is against New Zealand. They have four uncapped options available – left-arm spinner Zafar Gohar, all-rounder Danish Aziz, leg-spinner Zahid Mehmood and bowling all-rounder Amad Butt.
They will also be boosted by the presence of Hasan Ali, who was recalled for the T20Is. Hasan was brilliant in the Test series, picking up a 10-wicket haul in the second match.
Pakistan are expecting the same performance that the team showed in Test series.
Talking to media earlier, Pakistan’s bowling coach Waqar Younis said, “the result of the Test series will have an impact on the T20I series. I can’t predict the ultimate result of the T20 series, but you will definitely see good results.”
Options for South Africa
The visitors will be without most of their regular players with wicketkeeper-batsman Heinrich Klaasen leading the side. Only four players from the Test squad will be featuring in the T20I one. They have three uncapped players on their list – fast bowler Okuhle Cele, wicketkeeper-batsman Ryan Rickelton and batsman Jacques Snyman.
The series provides them a good opportunity to build a solid bench keeping the T20 World Cup in mind.
However, the skipper is confident that they are in a good position to give tough time to the home time and rubbished the perception about being “a second-string T20 squad”.
“We are looking to win. South Africa has got loads of talent, which people sometimes don’t see because we only have six franchises,” Heinrich Klassen said.
Records
The last time, Pakistan played South Africa in a bilateral T20I series was back in 2018/19. It was South Africa’s home series and they won it 2-1. But with a depleted side this time around, the visitors will face a tough task against a strong Pakistan outfit.
Also, South Africa have won only two of their last nine T20Is. In contrast, Pakistan, who have a better record, winning seven out of their last 10 completed T20Is.
Full Squad
Heinrich Klaasen (C), Nandre Burger, Okuhle Cele, Junior Dala, Bjorn Fortuin, Reeza Hendricks, George Linde, Janneman Malan, David Miller, Andile Phehlukwayo, Dwaine Pretorius, Ryan Rickleton, Tabraiz Shamsi, Lutho Sipamla, Jon-Jon Smuts, Pite van Biljon, Glenton Stuurman, Jacques Snyman
Forms in the last 3 matches (Oldest to latest): Lost, Lost and Lost
Pakistan Full Squad
Babar Azam (C), Aamer Yamin, Amad Butt, Asif Ali, Danish Aziz, Faheem Ashraf, Haider Ali, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Hussain Talat, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Rizwan, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Shaheen Afridi, Usman Qadir, Zafar Gohar, Zahid Mehmood

India vs England 1st Test Match Live

February 7, 2021 by admin Leave a Comment

Two teams on a high after victories away from home. Two teams with rich history and rivalry. India and England face off for a four-Test series starting with the first game at the MA Chidambaram stadium in Chennai on Friday (February 5).
A dream took flight during an unforgettable Australian summer and a confident India will aim to soar higher with the return of Virat Kohli against Joe Root’s England during a four-Test series starting Friday with both sides bidding to qualify for the World Test Championship final.
Two teams on a high after victories away from home. Two teams with rich history and rivalry. India and England face off for a four-Test series starting with the first game at the MA Chidambaram stadium in Chennai on Friday (February 5).

India are coming after an incredible win in Australia, where they won 2-1 despite all odds. Numerous injuries, absence of key players, a 36 all out… they fought it all to emerge victorious. England, meanwhile, were busy ‘sweeping’ Sri Lanka 2-0.

On most days, India will be favourites for a home series irrespective of who the opponent is. India haven’t lost a series at home since 2012. They have only failed to win two of their last 25 Tests at home, with one loss and one draw each. The case is no different this time – India will be firm favourites, especially in the form they arrive in.
England, though, will be no pushovers. They’re the side that last won a Test series in India. They did lose a five-match series 4-0 in 2016, but the scoreline doesn’t tell the full story. England competed hard and gave India a decent run for their money, but Virat Kohli’s men were just too good.
England have arrived in India without their full strength squad, thanks to COVID-19 and bubble life difficulties, while India are closer to their strongest side. India showed their depth in Australia, so it’s now hard to say which is their strongest side, especially at home. But if England can punch above their weight, like India did in Australia, who knows?
Crucial points for the World Test Championship are at stake too, adding context to the clash.
WHAT: India vs England, 1st Test
WHEN: February 5-9, 9.30 AM IST
WHERE: MA Chidambaram stadium, Chennai

India Team News
India have a problem of plenty. Virat Kohli is back. Ishant Sharma is back. R Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah will be back in the XI again after missing the last Test in Australia. Hardik Pandya is back too. Their only – and possibly big – worry is the absence of Ravindra Jadeja.
There were initial reports that the Chepauk pitch would be pace friendly, but that’s highly unlikely. India will play three spinners in all likelihood; Ashwin is an automatic pick, while Kuldeep Yadav could play the second spinner’s role. Axar Patel could make his debut considering India already have two spinners bringing the ball into the right hander.
If that happens, Washington Sundar, one of their heroes in Brisbane, will consider himself unlucky. But such is the depth of the side.
Next question: Who will keep? Rishabh Pant is an automatic choice in the XI after his terrific knock in Brisbane, but what about his keeping? Can he don the gloves in a home Test with three spinners? Or will India play Wriddhiman Saha along with Pant?
The pace dilemma: Mohammed Siraj or Ishant Sharma to partner Jasprit Bumrah? Ishant is back in full fitness and should walk into the XI. Siraj is one of the stories of the Australian tour. But like Washington, he too could be unlucky to miss out.
And finally: Shubman Gill vs Mayank Agarwal. 14, 243, 10, 108, 7, 215 – these are Agarwal’s scores in the home season of 2019. Now who would have imagined that his position will not be guaranteed?
But Gill is the man in form, and is likely to get the nod.
Predicted XI: Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli (capt), Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant (wk), Axar Patel, R Ashwin, Ishant Sharma, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah
England Team News
England suffered an injury blow with Zak Crawley ruled out of the first two Tests after ‘jarring his right wrist’. Ollie Pope, who himself was added to the squad on Wednesday after proving his fitness, may get added into the team.
Rory Burns and Dom Sibley should open for England, with Joe Root, Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes making the middle order. Moeen Ali, Dom Bess and Jack Leach form a three spin attack which means England could have space for only one pacer between James Anderson and Stuart Broad. Who they go in with will be interesting to watch.
England have spoken about the need to rotate their players, especially in the bubble era. Thus, Broad and Anderson could not play together as Jofra Archer is all set to play his first Test in India.
Predicted XI: Rory Burns, Dom Sibley, Daniel Lawrence, Joe Root (capt), Ben Stokes, Ollie Pope, Jos Buttler (wk), Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, Jack Leach, Stuart Broad
Head to Head: Last five Tests (India tour of England in 2018)
England 4, India 1.
Squads:
India: Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli(c), Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant(w), Washington Sundar, R Ashwin, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, KL Rahul, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mayank Agarwal, Wriddhiman Saha
England: Rory Burns, Dominic Sibley, Daniel Lawrence, Joe Root(c), Ben Stokes, Ollie Pope, Jos Buttler(w), Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, Jack Leach, Stuart Broad, James Anderson, Chris Woakes, Ben Foakes, Olly Stone, Dominic Bess
