PAK vs AUS | 3rd ODI | Preview, Prediction, Probable XI, Fantasy XI

The 3rd and final ODI between Pakistan and Australia will be played on 2nd April at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. The three-match ODI series is currently levelled at 1-1. The hosts suffered a significant loss in the first ODI as Australia beat them by 88 runs. However, they bounced back stronger in their next match and recorded their highest one-day international (ODI) run-chase to beat Australia by six wickets. Shaheen Afridi shined with the ball as he took four wickets while conceding 63 runs in his quota of 10 overs for Pakistan. Babar Azam led from the front and scored an 83-ball 114, while Imam-ul-Haq smashed a 97-ball 106 runs to chase down a 349-run target with six balls to spare. After putting to bat first, Australia lost their captain Aaron Finch for a golden duck. Travis Head and Ben McDermott then steadied the ship as they put on a 162-run partnership. Marnus Labuschagne also smashed a half-century, while Marcus Stoinis notched 49 runs. Australia is not playing with a full-strength squad, but still, they outplayed the hosts in the first ODI and looked decent in the second game. On the other hand, Pakistan already cleared their intentions in the second ODI. So the series decider promises to be a thriller on Saturday with the series at stake. Pitch Report The pitch at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, was a batting paradise in the first two ODI games. There is nothing much on offer for bowlers. The team batting first would look to post 330-plus runs on board, given the dew factor that comes in the latter stages of the game. Overall, we can expect a high scoring thriller on Saturday. Pitch Stats (ODIs) Matches Played: 65 Matches Won Batting First: 33 Matches Won Bowling First: 30 Average 1st Inning Score: 251 Average 2nd Inning Score: 215 Injury Update/Players Availability Both teams are likely to deploy their unchanged playing combination.

IPL 2022 | MI vs RR | Match 9 - Preview, Prediction, Probable XI, Fantasy XI

To continue their winning run in the tournament, Rajasthan Royals (RR) will take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 9th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai. Yet again, MI did not have a great start to their IPL 2022 campaign as they were outplayed by Delhi Capitals (DC) in their first game. The five-time champions carried on their unwanted record of losing their season opener. After putting to bat first, they posted 177 runs on the scoreboard, thanks to their openers Ishan Kishan (81 off 48) and Rohit Sharam (41 off 32). DC, in reply, chased down the score with ten balls to spare. Mumbai's bowling looked off-colour against DC's lower middle-order. Jasprit Bumrah, one of the most experienced Mumbai blokes, got bashed as he gave away 43 runs in 3.2 overs. Rohit Sharma's decision of giving the 18th over to Daniel Sams backfired as he got some serious beating by Lalit Yadav and Axar Patel. On the other hand, the Royals are coming off a substantial 61-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). They shined in all three departments against Kane Williamson and co. Sanju Samson, Devdutt Padikkal, Shimron Hetmyer, and Jos Buttler performed well with the bat, while Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult and Prasidh Krishna excelled with the ball. Rajasthan Royals must be riding high on confidence after their massive win over SRH in their opening game. They must be looking to sustain the momentum against Mumbai Indians as well. Therefore, the five-time winners would need to put on a better show with the bat, especially considering how good Rajasthan's bowling and batting lineup is. Match Details Match: Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals, Match 9 Venue: Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai Date & Time: April 2nd at 3:30 PM IST and local time Live Streaming: Star Sports Network and Disney+Hotstar Pitch Report The Dr DY Patil Sports Academy pitch is a good one to bat on. The surface looked a bit dry in the last game and helped spinners in the later hours. We can expect the same for this game as well. Overall, a batting track will be on offer while the team winning the toss should look to field first. Pitch Stats Matches Played: 9 Matches Won Batting First: 1 Matches Won Bowling First: 8 Highest team score: 205/2 Lowest team score: 112/8 MI vs RR Head-to-Head Matches Played: 26 Mumbai Won: 14 Rajasthan Won: 12 Injury Update/Players' Availability Mumbai Indians: Suryakumar Yadav is fit and available as he has recovered from injury. He is expected to bat at three, replacing Anmolpreet Singh. Rajasthan Royals: After the way they played against Hyderabad, it's doubtful that RR will change their winning combination.

Pakistan One-Day Cup 2022 | BAL vs KPK | Final: Yasir Shah, Abdul Bangalzai shine as Balochistan lay hands on silverware

The final battle between Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the Pakistan One-Day Cup 2022 saw the defending champions failing to retain their crown on Friday. Balochistan thrived in the marquee clash and rode on the brilliance of Yasir Shah and Abdul Bangalzai to trump Khyber Pakhtunkhwa by eight wickets. As Balochistan's bowlers rose to the occasion and delivered a splendid performance to bowl out Khyber for just 171 runs, their batters had a small task in hand, in which they successfully prevailed. Bangalzai and Haseebullah came to the fore and batted with utmost ease. Both the batters did not let the pressure of the final mount on their head and passed the litmus test with flying colours. While Haseebullah played second fiddle to the 19-year-old and scored 45 runs off 58 deliveries, his partner donned the aggressor's role and hit a blistering 80-run knock. Haseebullah perished with his side close to the target. Still, his wicket came a little too late for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as Asad Shafiq decorated the run-chase with his finishing touches and denied the opposition their second consecutive title. The win brought a maiden trophy for the Yasir Shah-led Balochistan, who were looking for it since the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) revamped the domestic structure in 2018-19. Earlier, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were off to the worst possible start after being put in to bat. Kamran Ghulam anchored the ship, but his valiant effort could take his side to a paltry 171-run total. Yasir delivered a brilliant spell with the ball, claiming four wickets, giving away mere 33 runs in his full quota of overs. Khurram Shahzad, Akif Javed and Asad Shafiq also chipped in the crucial wickets and gave Balochistan a significant push in the final. Brief scores: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa - 171/10 Kamran Ghulam 70 (91), Rehan Afridi 27* (38) Yasir Shah 33/4; Balochistan - 175/2 Abdul Bangalzai 80* (77), Haseebullah 45 (58) Khalid Usman 47/2 Balochistan beat Khyber Pakhtunkhwa by 8 wickets
