WI vs PAK | 4th T20I: When & where to watch Live, Probable XI, Fantasy XI

The Pakistani team would look to seal the series with a 2-0 win in the fourth and final game of the 20 over format at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. This would somewhat relieve them of the pain that they had to go through with a 3-0 whitewash from a second-string English side in the ODI series and then the 2-1 loss in the following T20I series. After all, a series win against the World Champions doesn’t come easy.

However, to achieve that, the West Indian might have to be challenged and although they are experimenting with their Playing XI to find the right balance ahead of their title defence in November this year, the Men in Maroon are still dangerous. They narrowly missed out in the second T20I, but won’t miss many chances.

If weather permits, which it looks like doing as far as the forecasts are concerned, a crackerjack of a game awaits people.

Pitch Report

The pitch in Guyana might have something on offer for the bowlers while the batsmen would face some trouble in putting up a big total. So, if you win the toss, elect to field first and restrict the opposition for a lesser total.

Weather Forecast

The rain gods seem to be pleased and might keep the rain away for this final game of the T20 leg of Pakistan’s tour of the West Indies. Two T20Is have already been washed out of the four. At the time of the start of the game at around 11:00 am the chances of rain dip down to 29% and keeps decreasing as the time progresses, meaning that a 20 over game would finally be completed.

The Hundred | London Spirit vs Northern Superchargers: Where to watch Live, Probable XI, Fantasy XI

If there is one team that needs explaining as to how is it still able to lose so many games on the trot, after getting so close to the target. They lost against Birmingham Phoenix after controlling the game for the most part of it. Against Trent Rockets, they were unable to chase as small a target as 124, while against Southern Brave, they couldn’t score 14 off the last 10 balls with five wickets in their hands. The losses that the Spirit have suffered is surely unbelievable, but do they have the spirit to come back is the real question. Now they would be up against the Northern Superchargers who are coming on the back of their first win of the season where they defeated Oval Invincibles by six wickets at their home in Leeds. Will Eoin Morgan’s men finally get past that final hurdle to win it for their side, or will Supercharges continue their charge? London Spirit vs Northern Superchargers: Match Details Match Number- 17 Date and Time: August 03, 2021, 11:00 pm IST, 06:30 pm Local, 05:30 pm GMT Venue: Lord’s London Broadcast and Live Stream: Fancode App Pitch Report There was finally some change in the pitch and a game that went above the score of 140 was at display at Lored’s. The pitch still offered plenty to the bowlers even as The Hundred is considered a batsman’s format. A similar pitch is expected in this game, which would be the fourth in a row at home for London Spirit. Weather Forecast With 30% chances of precipitation at the start of the game around 06:30 pm in Lord’s and the same percentage continuing till 08:00 pm, chances are that the game might see rain interruptions. But hopefully, the audiences will have a game at their hand.

TNPL | Nellai Royal Kings vs Dindigul Dragons: Where to watch Live, Probable XI, Fantasy XI

In the matchup between the bottom-placed Nellai Royal Kings and the second-placed Dindigul Dragons, the Dragons, even after losing their last game against the Chepauk Super Gullies would fancy themselves to cross the line in this one and get closer to the Playoffs qualification mark. The Kings on their part have seen one win and a washout in their four games, losing the rest of the two. They have three points on the board and are last in the table, but just one win here would suddenly get them equal points with third-placed Madurai Panthers. With the likes of Baba Aparajith, Indrajith and Sanjay Yadav on their side, the Royals could actually think of and win this game against Hari Nishanth’s Dragons. But will they be able to do it, only time will tell. Nellai Royal Kings vs Dindigul Dragons: Match Details Match Number: 21 Date and Time: Friday, August 03, 2021, 07:30 pm IST Venue: MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai Broadcast / Livestream: Star Sports/ Hotstar Pitch Report The Chennai pitch is wearing out slowly and high scoring games are becoming rare to find. Although with humidity and ample rain, some replenishing of the wear and tear is being done, even after being mostly optimistic, the wicket would remain slow and a tight match with scores in the range of 150-65 would be in the sight. Weather Report The sky would remain partly cloudy, but there are not many chances of rain, in fact, that cloud is only going to add to humidity as the temperatures would remain in the mid-thirties throughout the duration of the game. The humidity will help the slower bowlers as not much dew would be found on the ground. Nellai Royal Kings Probable XI Baba Aparajith (c), Laxmesha Suryaprakash, Pradosh Ranjan Paul, Baba Indrajith (wk), Sanjay Yadav, Arjun Murthy, Sri Neranjan, NS Harish, Mohan Abhinav, Ashwath Mukumthan, V Athisayaraj Davidson Dindigul Dragons Probable XI Hari Nishanth (c), S Arun, R Vivek, Mani Bharathi (wk), Rajhamany Srinivasan, RS Mokit Hariharan, S Swaminathan, Lakshminarayanan Vignesh, Gurjapneet Singh, Rangaraj Suthesh, M Silambarasan Fantasy XI Hari Nishanth, Baba Aparajith, Mani Bharathi, Baba Indrajith (wk), RS Mokit Hariharan, Sanjay Yadav, S Swaminathan, Lakshminarayanan Vignesh, R Vivek, Rangaraj Suthesh, V Athisayaraj Davidson Captain Hari Nishanth Vice-Captain Baba Aparajith

Plunkett, Ngidi ruled out of The Hundred, Jimmy Nessham’s contract extended

With Lungi Ngidi pulling out of The Hundred for personal reasons, Jimmy Neesham, who was to be replaced by the South African sees the extension of his contract at Welsh Fire. The Kiwi, who was supposed to return back to Essex for their Royal London Cup campaign, will now stay at Fire for the entirety of The Hundred. Neesham was the hero for the team in red in their second game when the Blackcaps international took 3 wickets in his five deliveries against Southern Brave to turn the game upside down. Liam Plunkett, who was injured after the opening Fire match against Northern Superchargers has been ruled out for the entire season due to injury and would be replaced by Kent pacer Matt Milnes. The Fire are also without their skipper Jony Bairstow, who is on national duties with England. To replace, him, Fire have called upon Northamptonshire's left-arm spinner Graeme White. All these efforts have been put up to rebalance the squad after the team lost its first-ever game in the competition when they were beaten at home by Manchester Originals. With two wins from three games, the Fire currently sits in third place on the table behind Trent Rockets and Manchester Originals.

England tour of Bangladesh postponed indefinitely, paves way for English players availability in IPL

England’s team tour of Bangladesh, which was supposed to begin from mid-September has now been postponed indefinitely. Reports suggest that it was the decision of the Bangladesh Cricket Board and a Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) can not be ruled out either considering that mid-September also marks the start of the second leg of the Indian Premier League. The England Men’s team Director of Cricket Ashley Giles had earlier said that the English players will either be part of the tour program to Bangladesh or will take a rest instead of playing in the IPL because of injury concerns. Now that the BCB seemed to have postponed the tour, giving Covid-19 protocols as the reason, it also paves way for English cricketers to participate in the IPL as it would be the ideal preparation for the World T20. However, with this postponement and English players potentially playing in the IPL becoming clearer, it would be interesting to see if England’s Pakistan tour goes as planned. The English Men’s and Women’s teams are to play two T20Is on October 14 and 15. But with the start of the World T20 opening ceremony being very close to those dates and quarantine norms yet not finalised, will England take the risk? According to Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Ehsan Mani, the tour is still on. “Wasim Khan has been in discussions with the ECB and agreed on the tour arrangements with Tom Harrison. As far as we are concerned, the visit is going ahead,” he was quoted as saying by Daily Mail UK.
