England tour of India 2025 will begin on January 22nd and features 5 T20Is and 3 ODIs which will be the dress rehearsal for the Champions Trophy that will commence from February 19th in a hybrid model hosted by Pakistan.

Reigning T20 champions, India are set for their first T20I assignment this year as they host England in the 5-matches T20I series. Taking the Champions Trophy 2025 into consideration, the selectors have picked the right blend of the squad that features 4 players, who have been part of the Indian Test squad that travelled to Australia. The T20I series also marks the return of speedster, Mohammed Shami into the International arena after a gap of 14 months. Suryakumar Yadav continues to lead the side, while all-rounder Axar Patel elevated to the vice-captaincy role.

England on the other side, has already started their preparations in UAE with a fast bowlers camp for the high-profile India tour. Jos Buttler-led side will have a huge task in their hand as beating India at their home isn’t going to be easy.

India vs England T20 Series Preview

India T20I Squad Analysis:

Recent Form: Won, Won, Lost, Won, Won

Squad:

Suryakumar Yadav (c), Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Rinku Singh, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel (vc), Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakravarthy, Washington Sundar.

Starting the year with a Test loss away from home isn’t the result Team India would have wanted first up but their focus now shifts towards the shortest format. India enjoyed notable accolades last year including – a T20 World Championship, a 3-1 win against South Africa (away), a 3-0 win over Sri Lanka (away) and a 4-1 win against Zimbabwe (away). They finished the year with 24 wins out of 26 T20Is they played, while their couple of losses have come against South Africa and Zimbabwe.

The selectors have made plenty of changes from their 3-1 away series win over South Africa, with no place for Ramandeep Singh, Vyshak Vijay Kumar, Jitesh Sharma, Yash Dayal, and Avesh Khan. Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harshit Rana, Washington Sundar, and Dhruv Jurel, who are all part of the India squad that featured in the 5-match Test series against Australia have been drafted into the squad.

Harshit Rana, who made his Test debut in the tour down under is in the line for his T20I debut. Dhruv Jurel has been considered as the back-up wicket-keeper for in-form Sanju Samson. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar are the obvious choices following their commendable performances of late across formats.

In a major update, experienced pacer, Mohammed Shami has been picked up for the upcoming India vs England T20Is after being sidelined due to a heel injury for 14 long months. The 34-year-old proved his fitness by representing Bengal in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy. He bagged 11 wickets in 9 matches in the SMAT while he managed 5 wickets across 3 matches in the 50-over format. He would have made it to the India Test squad for the Australia Tour in the mid-way if he hadn’t picked up soreness in his knee.

Among the notable absentees for the England T20Is are Rishabh Pant, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shubman Gill, who are likely rested with the Champions Trophy around the corner, however, all 3 made themselves available for the Ranji Trophy fixtures for their respective State teams which resumes on January 23rd just one day after the 1st T20I against England.

Abhishek Sharma is a happy man, who regained his place despite a modest start to his T20I career, making 256 runs across 11 innings at an average of 23.27. The upcoming IND vs ENG T20Is will be crucial for him to keep his place in the long run.

Sanju Samson should be thankful for the current Gautam Gambhir coaching panel, who trusted his ability and handed him plenty of opportunities and he didn’t disappoint them, guess what, he has 3 centuries in his last 5 T20Is. He will be the first-choice wicket-keeper batter for India in the forthcoming IND vs ENG T20I series.

Despite proving his ability in the shortest format, Tilak Varma wasn’t getting the chances regularly however in his comeback trail in the South Africa tour, he slammed 280 runs in 4 matches that included 2 unbeaten centuries. Promotion to the No.3 turned out to be a blessing for the 22-year-old. Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, and Tilak Varma will form the top 3 for India in the India vs England T20Is.

The middle order features the likes of well-known hitters including Suryakumar Yadav, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Hardik Pandya, and Rinku Singh. Axar Patel will fill the place of a spin all-rounder, while Washington Sundar has to fight for his spot in the starting eleven.

Coming to the bowling department, Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Shami will spearhead the attack, with Harshit Rana as backup. Having fast bowling all-rounders Hardik Pandya and Nitish Kumar Reddy is a blessing. Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi are the genuine spinners in the mix.

With the kind of progress India witnessed in the shortest format in 2024, expectations are huge as they head into their first T20I assignment in 2025.

England T20I Squad Analysis

Recent Form: NR, Lost, Won, Won, Won

Squad:

Jos Buttler (c & wk), Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Ben Duckett, Liam Livingstone, Saqib Mahmood, Jamie Overton, Adil Rashid, Rehan Ahmed, Phil Salt (wk), Jamie Smith (wk), Mark Wood.

England have named their strongest T20I squad for their upcoming India tour led by Jos Buttler. They even announced their ODI squad for the bilateral series against India and the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy.

The T20I setup got a major overhaul, which featured in the 3-1 series win over West Indies a couple of months back. Will Jacks, Reece Topley, Sam Curran, Dan Mousley, Jordan Cox, John Turner, Jafer Chohan, and Michael Pepper have been omitted from the squad.

Among all, the exclusion of Will Jacks was surprising, who managed 112 runs in 4 T20Is in the bilaterals against West Indies. Since making his T20I debut in 2022, Jacks failed to score a half-century in the 21 innings he batted and has accumulated 383 runs at an average of 18.23 with the best score of 40.

An underwhelming series with the ball, proved tough for all-rounder, Sam Curran, who went at an economy of 9.66 without picking up a wicket. With the bat, he did make good contributions, adding 65 runs in 2 innings.

Harry Brook, Gus Atkinson, Brydon Carse, and Ben Duckett who weren’t considered for selection to the Caribbean Tour to prepare for the New Zealand Test series have been picked up in the Three Lions squad for the upcoming IND vs ENG T20s.

Uncapped in T20Is, The 24-year-old wicket-keeper batter, Jamie Smith, who was on paternity leave and skipped the New Zealand Test series, was named in the T20 squad for the England tour of India 2025.

The talk of the town in the current cricketing world, young prospect, Jacob Bethell retains his place in the squad. Bethell is currently representing Melbourne Renegades in the ongoing Big Bash League.

The 35-year-old pacer, Mark Wood, who last represented England in a Test match against Sri Lanka in August named in the T20 squad for the India vs England T20I series.

Paceman, Saqib Mahmood who is of Pakistani descent, facing a visa delay from India, and his participation in the IND vs ENG will be known in a few days.

After thoroughly analyzing their squad, their batting looks dangerous having well-known hitters in their ranks such as Jos Buttler, Phil Salt, Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, and Jacob Bethell. All-rounder, Jamie Overton can score handy runs down the order.

They have one of the best pace attacks in the world, featuring Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Brydon Carse, Mark Wood, and Jamie Overton. Adil Rashid is the only genuine tweaker in the mix, he will get good support from Rehan Ahmed, Liam Livingstone, and Jacob Bethell.

Three Lions last toured India for the bilateral T20Is in 2021, where they lost closely by a 3-2 margin. They will look forward to improving their results this time.

India vs England T20Is 2025 – Players to Watch Out For

Tilak Varma:

Tilak Varma emerged as a different player altogether when he was promoted to No.3 in the South African tour. The 22-year-old turned his beast mode on and guess what, he slammed two unbeaten centuries at Centurion (107*) and Johannesburg (120*), before he made 33 and 20 at No.4. With the next T20 World Cup scheduled to take place in the sub-continent, the management wants to groom him further, giving more chances at the top of the order.

India vs England Prediction – Tilak Varma to be the top scorer in the series

Phil Salt:

Phil Salt is well versed with the Indian conditions, playing for Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League. The 28-year-old is a fearless batter, who already crossed the 1000-run mark in the T20Is in 38 T20Is. He is set to feature for the first time in a T20I in India and prior experience will come in handy for sure.

He had an outstanding 2024 with the bat in T20Is, finishing as the leading run-scorer for England with 467 runs in 17 matches at an average of 38.91 with the best score of 103*.

India vs England Prediction

Our India vs England Prediction is in favour of India winning the series by a 3-2 margin.

How many times did India beat England?

Total T20Is Played	India Won	England Won

BGT 2024/25 – 5th IND vs AUS Test Prediction And Betting Tips

India Tour Of Australia 2024 5th Test Prediction

Perth. Adelaide. Brisbane. Melbourne. These four iconic Australian cities have seen some extraordinary levels of test cricket being played over the past month. And now, it is time for the beautiful city of Sydney, where India and Australia are going to play the fifth and final test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 currently stands at 2-1 in favour of Australia. A loss or draw in the final match of this Ind vs Aus test series would relegate India from the WTC final race, and the men in blue will lose the Border-Gavaskar trophy 2024-25, which would be their first series loss in the last decade. A win in this match would keep them in the race for the WTC final and also help in drawing the Ind vs Aus test series.

The India tour of Australia 2024-25 till now has been sensational. It all started in Perth, where India hammered Australia by 295 runs and made a statement. Post that Ind vs Aus match, it has all been about Australia. The hosts dominated the day-night test in Adelaide and were ahead in the game for the major part in the third Ind vs Aus match. They again thrashed India by a huge margin of 184 runs in the recently concluded fourth test and now have an unbeatable lead in the series.

The fifth Ind vs Aus test match of this India tour of Australia 2024-25 will be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground on January 3, 2025. This match will be a do-or-die match for the Indian cricket team if they still want to keep their hopes of playing the WTC final alive. A win or a draw here will most certainly confirm Australia their place in the final, whereas a loss will make things difficult for them.

Ind vs Aus 5th Test – What to Expect

It is a difficult time to be a fan of the Indian cricket team, as the series which India looked to dominate post the test match in Perth, is now on the cusp of losing. As it stands, this series seems like a contest between Australia and Jasprit Bumrah where the man from Gujarat is single-handedly keeping his team alive in the series.

If India is to even have a chance of winning this match, they need to go back to the drawing board and make some tough decisions. It is high time that Rohit Sharma scores runs with the bat and proves his worth in the team. Virat Kohli also needs to leave that outside off-stump ball and convert his starts into a big score.

Jasprit Bumrah has been the lone Indian bowler in this series who has taken wickets time and again, and that needs to change. The team has been overly dependent on Bumrah, and he requires some support from the other end as well to take the team over the line. Mohammed Siraj will have to take more responsibility and be mindful of his lines and lengths.

As for Australia, the form of the openers is a little concerning. Usman Khawaja has almost become a walking wicket against Jasprit Bumrah. Apart from the match in Melbourne, Marnus Labuschagne has also looked out of touch, and he needs to make a big score soon.

Mitchell Starc was lethal only with the pink ball, and it seems he has lost his rhythm since then. He also needs to get back into form because the Indian batters will be looking to score a big total in the forthcoming test match in Sydney. The lack of a proper fifth bowler could hurt Australia in this match, which was the case in the first innings in Melbourne when Nitish Reddy and Washington Sundar stitched a fantastic partnership. Remember, a loss here would mean Australia will need to win both tests in Sri Lanka, which would not be easy at all.

Ind vs Aus 5th Test – Predicted Playing 11s

Let us have a look at how the teams could shape themselves ahead of the all-important Sydney test of this India tour of Australia 2024-25.

India

Playing five bowlers plays a major role in taking 20 wickets in a test match, but that seems to be compromising the batting depth of the Indian team. We think Shubman Gill should be back in the team in place of Ravindra Jadeja to provide more batting strength. KL Rahul should go back to open the innings, and Rohit Sharma should continue playing at the number 6 position.

Prasidh Krishna is someone who would enjoy bowling on the Sydney surface and can replace Mohammed Siraj in the team, who needs to assess his form. However, this is unlikely as only one match is left, and the team would not want to make an unnecessary change. The rest of the lineup is expected to be the same apart from any forced changes.

Predicted Playing 11: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Rohit Sharma (c), Nitish Reddy, Washington Sundar, Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep, and Mohammed Siraj.

Australia

After giving just three matches to Nathan McSweeney, the Kangaroos made a change at the top of the order and brought in Sam Konstas, who had a fantastic debut match. His confidence and approach were liked by all, and he will continue at the top of the order alongside Usman Khawaja.

The bowling lineup is also expected to be the same, and a change can be only seen in case Mitchell Starc is not fit for the fifth test match. An out-of-the-box addition to the team could be Beau Webster, who can come in the place of Mitchell Marsh and provide more bowling strength to the Australian cricket team.

Predicted Playing 11: Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstas, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh/Beau Webster, Alex Carey (wk), Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, and Scott Boland.

How many tests have Australia won in this series?

The Australian cricket team has beaten the Indian team two times in this series so far. The first match Australia won was the second test in Adelaide, which they won by 10 wickets. The second match they won was the one in Melbourne where the hosts thumped the visitors by an innings and 184 runs. Out of the four matches played so far, Australia leads the series 2-1 with one match left to play.

Is there any chance for India to play the WTC final?

Yes, even after losing the test match in Melbourne, there is still a huge chance for India to play their third consecutive WTC 2025 final. Things seem a little difficult right now, but India is still in the race to play the final match that will take place at Lords next year.

If India wins the New Year’s test in Sydney, which will be their last match of this WTC cycle, they will stay in contention for playing the final against South Africa next year. However, a loss or a draw in the fifth match would relegate India out of the race and make a strong case for Australia.

Currently, India has a points percentage of 52.78%. If they win the fifth test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, their percentage will rise to 55.26% and take them to second place in the standings. They will then hope that Sri Lanka beats Australia by at least a 1-0 margin or both the matches end in a draw, which will confirm India of their berth in the final.

Ind vs Aus 5th Test – Key Players

For India, it is a must-win situation, and they would expect their best player to turn up and take his team over the line. Virat Kohli would have all the eyes upon him, and we expect him to be the key player for the men in blue in this match. All the fans would be hoping that the 82nd century comes in this match for King Kohli.

Travis Head has almost become India’s nemesis, and he will once again hold the aces against India in the fifth test match. If the Indian bowlers manage to get him out early, they will be on the course of winning the match, whereas if Head gets his eyes set on the pitch, India will be on the field for a long time.

What are the odds of India vs Australia test?

The odds for India to win the final test match are 2.5 on GUGOBET, whereas for GUGOBET betting odds on Australia are 1.50.

With plenty of action expected on the field, be sure to stay ahead with GUGOBET’s expert predictions and the best odds. Sign up now on GUGOBET for a 100% Welcome Bonus and start betting on this thrilling contest and many more!

ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Schedule & All To know

Termed the Mini World Cup, the Champions Trophy is back after an 8-year gap. It was conceived in 1998, and the main idea was to raise funds for cricket development in the associated nations. ICC decided to host it every two years, but it extended to four years over time. Due to a busy schedule with the rise of the T20 World Cup and World Test Championship, ICC could not find a window for the tournament and scrapped the 2021 edition.

It’s a short tournament played in the 50-over format. The previous edition was held in England, where Pakistan clinched their first title, beating arch-rivals India in the high-voltage final. India and Australia carry the most titles with 2 each, whereas South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, and West Indies are the other teams that have won the tournament once.

Pakistan has hosting rights for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 which will be played in a hybrid model. As the Indian Government didn’t provide the NOC for its National Cricket Team to travel to Pakistan due to political tensions between the Nations, forced ICC to adopt the hybrid model for the mega event. India will play all their matches at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, including knockouts if they qualify.

It’s a huge boost from the economic perspective as Pakistan is staging the ICC event after a gap of close to 29 years.

ICC has delayed the release of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 schedule as Pakistan wasn’t initially ready to accept the hybrid model, but after plenty of meetings, they decided to accept it, eventually cricket emerging as the winner.

ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will commence on February 19th and will be played till March 9th. A total of 8 teams are participating in the event, which is divided into two Groups of 4.

BGT 2024/25 – Australia vs India 4th Test Prediction

India Tour Of Australia 2024 3rd Test Prediction

India Tour of Australia 2024/25 is getting many twists and turns, with the series currently squared at 1-1. The 3rd Australia vs India Test here at the iconic ‘Gabba’ ended in a stalemate with rain playing spoilsport throughout all 5 days of the game. Both Australia and India shared 4 points each from the contest and will still hold favourable chances to make it to the WTC Final 2025, which is scheduled at the Lord’s. Both teams will get adequate rest before the 4th Test begins.

Australia vs India 4th Test (Boxing Day Test ) is scheduled for December 26-30 at the renowned Melbourne Cricket Ground. The fans are eagerly waiting to catch the action live on the next day of Christmas. The previous three Tests at Perth, Adelaide, and Brisbane saw record-breaking attendances at the venues, and we can expect increased numbers at MCG.

Follow Australia Cricket Team vs India National Cricket Team match prediction on our cricket betting app.

After enduring a humiliating 295-run loss in the series opener at Perth, Australia bounced back strongly to script a 10-wicket victory at their Pink ball fortress, Adelaide in the 2nd Test. A game-changing knock of 140 from their ace batter, Travis Head changed the complexion of the game.

Their pace spearheads, Mitchell Starc, and Pat Cummins also played a key role in the success, picking up 8 wickets and 7 wickets respectively in the game. They did dominate the 3rd Test, despite several rain interruptions, where they racked up 445 in the 1st innings, thanks to a man in form, Travis Head’s 2nd century (152) in the series, and Steven Smith’s calculative 101. Currently with 9 wins, 4 losses, and 2 drawn matches, they are placed 2nd in the WTC standings with a PCT of 58.89.

India is on the back foot at the moment, with their key batters not firing properly as their WTC Final qualification still hangs in balance. They somehow managed to avoid the follow-on in the 3rd Test at Gabba, and later went on to save the game. KL Rahul marked his 2nd half-century of the series (84), and the crucial 47-run stand for the final wicket between Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep made the difference.

Jasprit Bumrah is the only saviour for them in the series, having picked up 21 wickets in 3 matches with the best figures of 6 for 76 in an inning.

Australia vs India, 4th Test Predicted XI, Form Guide and Analysis:

Australia Predicted XI:

Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstas, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey (wk), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Scott Boland.

Recent Form: Draw, Won, Lost, Won, Won

Australia are completely dependent on Travis Head with the bat, who is currently in a purple patch, smashing 409 runs in 5 innings in the ongoing Australia vs India Test series. The return of Steven Smith’s form is a welcoming sign as the veteran batter marked his 1st century of the series with an outstanding 101 at Gabba. Alex Carey is the other batter to have scored the excess of 100 runs for the hosts in the ongoing Australia vs India series.

The form of their opener veteran Usman Khawaja is a huge concern with only 63 runs under his belt in the series. While rookie batter Nathan McSweeney, who scored 72 runs, has been dropped. The 19-year-old batter, Sam Konstas has earned his first National-call up and he is in the line for his Test debut at MCG. Pacers, Sean Abbott and Jyhe Richardson have also been included in the 15-member squad.

Their bowlers share the majority of the success equally in the AUS vs IND Tests, with Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins, picking up 14 wickets apiece. With Josh Hazlewood ruled out from the remainder of the Australia vs India Test series due to injury, the selectors will bring back Scott Boland for the 4th Test. We can expect one or two changes to their squad for the Boxing Day Test.

India Predicted XI

Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Rohit Sharma (c), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep.

Recent form: Draw, Lost, Won, Lost, Lost

With a solitary win from their last 6 Test matches, it is evident India is undergoing a rough patch, though they managed to save the 3rd Test in the ongoing AUS vs IND series. Thanks to the rain, or else the result could have gone another way round for the visitors, who have currently squared the series 1-1.

The batting lapses completely let them down as a result, they dropped the 2nd Pink ball Test at Adelaide in less than 3 days. Back in the squad, skipper Rohit Sharma, who slotted down, sacrificing his opening place, never looked comfortable in the middle order and only managed 19 runs across 3 innings so far.

Ace batter, Virat Kohli, who scored a century in the 2nd innings of the 1st Test, failed miserably in the next 3 innings, with the scores of 11, 7, and 3. Nicking outside the off-stump ball has been a routine thing in all of those 3 dismissals.

KL Rahul, who wasn’t the first-choice opener, before the series, made the spot his own, scoring 235 runs across 6 innings at an average of 47, which comprises 2 half-centuries.

More consistency has been expected from the next-gen batters Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, who have scored 193 runs and 60 runs respectively in the ongoing Australia vs India Test series.

Speedster, Jasprit Bumrah is in a league of his own, picking up the most in the AUS vs IND Test series with 21 scalps in 6 innings with the best figures of 6 for 76.

India had beaten Australia at MCG in their previous two series Down Under and were aiming for a similar result this time around. India is placed 3rd in the WTC Standings with a PCT of 55.88.

The sudden retirement of all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin from International Cricket on the final day of the Gabba Test left everyone shell-shocked.

India are likely to go with an unchanged eleven for the 4th Test.

What happened at the Gabba Test?

The 3rd Australia vs India Test at the Gabba, Brisbane ended in a draw, where rain didn’t allow a full fledged game. AUS vs IND 2024/25 Test series is currently levelled at 1-1.

What is the winning rate of IND vs AUS?

India and Australia have played against each other 110 times, out of which the former has won 33 and the latter triumphed 46 times. 30 Tests have ended in a draw, while one game was tied. Australia’s win percentage is 41.81 whereas India has a win percentage of 30.

Matches Played	Australia Won	India Won	Draw	Tied
110	46	33	30	1

Can India Qualify if they lose to Australia?

The chances of India qualifying for the WTC Final 2025 will be almost zero if they lose to Australia in the remaining two Test matches.

India tour of Australia 2024-25 3rd Test Preview and Betting Tips

India Tour Of Australia 2024-25 2nd Test Match Review

On Day 1 of the Australia vs India 2nd Test match, Australia firmly established their dominance over India at stumps. With Rishabh Pant (28) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (15) in the middle, the Australian pacers were spot-on and had already ended the Indian innings with 128/5 at the stumps. As things went south for India, star batsmen Virat Kohli (11) and Rohit Sharma (6) could not contribute once more. On Day 2, Pat Cummins defeated Rohit, who was the final batter out.

On Day 3 of the Australia vs India 2nd Test match, Nathan McSweeney (10*) and Usman Khawaja (9*) had no trouble chasing down a goal of just 19 runs. The home team recovered to tie the series 1-1 with a convincing 10-wicket victory. Australia hammered India for just 175 early on Day 3 after Pat Cummins grabbed his 13th Test five-wicket haul. This led Australia to bat again after India took an 18-run lead thanks to Nitish Kumar Reddy’s 42-run innings. They finished off the target with ease and will move on to the 3rd Australia vs India Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 matchup in Brisbane.

India Tour Of Australia 2024-25 3rd Test Match Preview

It is expected to be a pivotal match for both the World Test Championship 2023-2025 (WTC) final race and the series when India and Australia play the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. India will try to recover from a humiliating loss in the second Test, while Australia will want to maintain their supremacy.

IND vs AUS 3rd Test 2024-25: Date and Venue

The Gabba in Brisbane, which has a long history in Australian cricket, will host the third test from Saturday, December 14 to Wednesday, December 18. Once seen as an Australian stronghold, the Gabba was memorably stormed by India on their most recent visit.

The Gabba is a formidable opponent for visiting teams because of its fast surface and genuine bounce. It’s a field where batters require flawless technique and bowlers thrive on discipline. India‘s historic victory in 2021, however, demonstrated that this stronghold is not unassailable.

Particularly following their defeat in the second Test, India’s batting problems under the lights have drawn attention. India has to deal with their problems against the pink ball, as Australia’s Pat Cummins is leading the way with a five-wicket haul in Adelaide.

Australia, on the other side, will try to win the series by using their home advantage. Their bowling attack is still effective in every situation, and their openers have been playing well.

AUS vs IND Test : Probable XI and Team Preview

India Probable XI:

Mohammed Siraj, Harshit Rana, Akash Deep, Rishabh Pant, Rohit Sharma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Mohammed Jaiswal, and Jashasvi Jaiswal

India Team Preview:

The Indian pace trio that dominated in Perth—Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Harshit Rana—did not have the same effect with the pink ball. Rana remained wicketless and surrendered runs at an economy rate of 5.40, while Bumrah and Siraj were able to take four wickets apiece. Given that Akash Deep is waiting to play his first Test match on Australian soil, some have begun to doubt Rana’s spot in the starting lineup following the lacklustre performance in Adelaide.

There are growing doubts about Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness. The frowns in the Indian camp have been evident ever since Bumrah collapsed in the first over with the second new ball in Australia’s opening innings in Adelaide, holding his inner thigh. There are good reasons for this. Bumrah seemed to be the only Indian bowler to cause problems for the Australian hitters in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy when Mohammed Shami was not present.

Despite his ups and downs, Mohammed Siraj is still a long way from living up to Shami or Bumrah’s expectations. Travis Head crushed Harshit Rana during the day-night test. Rohit Sharma, the captain of India, is left with few choices. There is no denying that Bumrah is his greatest asset.

Australia Probable XI:

Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins (C), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey (wk), Usman Khawaja, Nathan McSweeney, and Marnus Labuschagne

Australia Team Preview:

Australia, who dominated the last test, comes into the 3rd Test match as the favourite. The lively Gabba pitch will be ideal for their pace-heavy attack, which is led by Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc. Australia will try to continue their strong batting performance, which has been led by Steve Smith and Usman Khawaja. The squad enters the third test with a tactical edge thanks to their depth in both bowling and batting. With early breakthroughs and reliable batting, Australia will concentrate on dominating the match.

Why did India lose the 2nd test against Australia?

Team India lacked a marquee bowler to partner their star Jasprit Bumrah for this 2nd Test matchup against Australia. The pink ball was a bit too much for young Indian bowlers like Harshit Rana and Mohammed Siraj to get adjusted to. Lack of experience in the Indian bowling attack was one of the main reasons Team India lost the 2nd test in Adelaide.

Aus vs Ind 3rd Test Prediction:

Team India lacks a quality bowling lineup. Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, the Indians do not have any deadly bowlers. With the return of their star bowler, Mohammed Shami being a doubt for the 3rd Test, the Aussies have an advantage going into this upcoming 3rd Test. We feel that the home side, Team Australia will clinch the 3rd Test match at the Gabba.

For both sides, this match is crucial to their hopes of qualifying for the WTC final 2025. Australia’s victory will solidify their standing, while India needs to make a big recovery to remain competitive. All eyes will be on India’s answer because the series and WTC dreams are at stake.

Australia vs India 2024 2nd Test Prediction and Betting Tips

India Tour of Australia 2024 2nd Test Prediction

The ongoing India Tour of Australia began with a bang, with India clinching the first Test easily to take a 1-0 lead in the series. Teams have started their preparations for the second Test (Day-Night), which will start on December 6th in Adelaide.

Hosts Australia got the reality check upfront in the 5-match Test series, going down pretty straightforwardly at the Optus Stadium, Perth by a whopping margin of 295 runs. Their batting put them down in the entire Test, where they got all out for meager scores of 104 and 238.

The energy they had in the first two sessions of the opening day’s play, never got back in the remainder of the Test, be it with the bat or ball. They struggled entirely to be consistent and as a result, got outplayed in all areas. Barring Travis Head’s fluent 89-run knock in the 4th innings, they hardly showed intent facing the ruthless Indian bowling unit.

Coming from a disastrous 3-0 defeat at home at the hands of Kiwis, the resilient India dominated the India vs Australia 1st Test to record their first win at the Optus Stadium and became the only team to beat Australia at the venue. The tactical brilliance of underfire coach Gautam Gambhir was spot on as he made key moves, handing Test debuts to all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy and seamer Harshit Rana. Even the inclusion of Washington Sundar, ahead of prolific all-rounders Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja came out of the box.

Special credits to stand-in skipper Jasprit Bumrah, who marshaled the troops in the company of Virat Kohli. The former was adjudged the Player of the Match for his match figures of 8 for 72.

India vs Australia contests in any format serve as a treat for the fans as the rivalry between the teams is close to that of the Ashes.

India vs Australia, 2nd Test Predicted XI, Form Guide and Analysis:

Australia Predicted XI:

Usman Khawaja, Nathan McSweeney, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh / Beau Webster, Alex Carey (wk), Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood.

Recent Form: Lost, Won, Won, Lost, Won

Not the usual sight for the Aussies to get beaten first up in the Test matches down under and it will be interesting how they respond going forward in the India vs Australia 5-matches Test series.

Australia had the home comfort and the conditions of the fast and bouncy Perth wicket were exactly tailor-made for them to go 1-0 up, however, their strategy backfired leading to a disappointing loss. Most of the batters were playing in a shell, including Marnus Labuschagne, Usman Khawaja, Steven Smith, and newcomer Nathan McSweeney. Travis Head’s counter-attacking 89 runs in the final innings was the only positive with the bat in the entire Test.

Now they travel to Adelaide for the 2nd Test which will be played in Pink ball. Australia boosts an overwhelming 11-1 win-loss record in the Pink ball and wouldn’t get a better stage to get back in the reckoning and level the series 1-1. Their only loss in Pink ball came against West Indies earlier this year at Gabba, where they fell short by a mere 8 runs.

They have fond memories against India at Adelaide in their previous Pink ball affair, where they bundled out Virat Kohli and company for just 36 runs in the 3rd innings, and went on to claim the Test by 8 wickets.

Chief selector, George Bailey has named Beau Webster as a cover for Mitchell Marsh, who is having fitness concerns.

India Predicted XI:

Rohit Sharma (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), KL Rahul, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Harshit Rana, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.

Recent form: Won, Lost, Lost, Lost, Won

This is how you shut the mouth of the naysayers, who downgraded India following their horrific 3-0 loss at home against New Zealand. Everyone around the world voted India to go down at Perth in the 1st Test, but Jasprit Bumrah and co had other thoughts and it took them less than 4 days to complete a miraculous 295-run victory over the Australians.

Jasprit Bumrah’s fearless approach helped India to bundle out the hosts cheaply for 104 in the 1st innings. The speedster wreaked havoc with a 5-fer that allowed the visitors to take a vital 46-run lead. Centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal (161) and Virat Kohli (100*), and a well-adapted knock of 77 from KL Rahul were the cynosure in racking up 487 for 6 in the 2nd innings. All the bowlers chipped in with wickets in the 4th innings to limit the Aussies to 238. This victory will go down as one of the best away Test victories in India’s cricketing history.

They have to make a couple of changes to their starting eleven for the 2nd Test to accommodate incoming skipper Rohit Sharma and dynamic batter Shubman Gill. This means Devdutt Padikkal and Dhruv Jurel have to make a way for the duo. KL Rahul, who made a statement with crucial knocks of 26 and 77 in the 1st Test, is likely to be slotted down to the middle order.

Pitch Report for India vs Australia, 2nd Test:

The batters will have to be a little cautious while facing the pink ball, especially at the Adelaide track as it comes a little quicker to the bat as compared to the red ball. The surface is conducive for the quicks and at the same time, the batters can play long if they have a solid approach. The venue has produced results in the last 11 Test matches and we can expect the same in the India vs Australia Test match which starts on December 6th.

Who won the most Test matches between India and Australia?

To date, India and Australia have played against each other in 108 Test matches, with the latter having a better edge with 45 wins, while the former has won 33.

India vs Australia, 2nd Test Betting Tips:

Top Run-Scorer:

Virat Kohli has a love affair with Adelaide Oval which started back in 2011/12, where he made a century on his first outing. In his overall 4 Tests at the venue, he accounted for 509 runs at an average of 63.62, which includes 3 centuries and a half-century.

He found form at the right moment, scoring an unbeaten century (100*) in the 2nd innings of the 1st Test at Perth. He is likely to score more runs in the upcoming India vs Australia Test.

Top wicket-taker:

Nathan Lyon is at the final stages of his illustrious career and has done a remarkable job for Australia over the last 13 years. Bowling mostly on his seam-friendly surfaces in Australia, the off-spinner has bagged 532 wickets in 130 Tests with the best figures of 8 for 50 in an innings. Notably, he has taken the most wickets at the Adelaide Oval with 63 scalps in 13 Tests at an average of 25.26. He is expected to get the most wickets in the upcoming India vs Australia 2nd Test.

India are on top of the moon currently, following a dream win in the 1st Test, while Australia has plenty of things to address heading into the 2nd Test. India Tour of Australia 2024-25 has garnered significant interest from cricketing lovers all over the world and exciting matches await over the next 30 days.

India is definitely in contention for their 3rd consecutive WTC final, however, they must win their upcoming series down under 4-1 to secure a ticket for the Lord’s. The above-mentioned scenario is quite unrealistic and hard to achieve as beating mighty Australians in their backyard is no easy task.

India is currently placed 2nd in the standings with a PCT of 58.33 %, with Australia occupying the pole position with 62.5 PCT.

What is the scenario for India to qualify for the WTC final in 2025?

How India can qualify for the final?

There is no shortcut for India to advance to the WTC 2025 final, they require a minimum of 36 points in the series down under, which means 3 wins that will be a safe option that keeps them in the top 2 spots, and also other results need to go in their favour.

What happens if India beat Australia 4-1?

With every Test match matters from now on for Team India, they are expecting not only a series win down under but also a massive margin of victory by 4-1. If that happens their PCT will jump to 64.04 %.

If India beats Australia by a 3-1 margin, their PCT will climb to 60.5 %.

Australia, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, and South Africa are the other teams that are in contention for the WTC final 2025.

Australia:

After hosting India in the 5-matches Test series, Australia will travel to Sri Lanka to take part in the 2-matches Test series between January 29th to February 10th. If they win all their upcoming 7 Test matches, their PCT will take a significant stride to 76.3 %. In another scenario, if they manage to win 4 matches and lose the other 3, they will end with a PCT of 60.5 %.

Sri Lanka:

Sri Lanka currently sit 3rd in the ICC WTC 2023-25 standings with a PCT of 55.56 %. The Island nation has two big assignments scheduled, with two Test series against South Africa (away) and two matches against Australia (home).

If they record 4 wins from 4 matches, their PCT will take a great spike to 69.2 %. If they encounter mixed responses with 2-2 win-loss, they will have a PCT of 53.84 %.

South Africa:

South Africa who were not in contention before India’s 0-3 loss to New Zealand, have suddenly become one of the favorites to qualify for the WTC 2025 final. They jumped to the 5th spot in the WTC standings with a PCT of 54.17 %, following impressive victories over Bangladesh (away), where they sealed a 2-0 series victory.

The Proteas will host Sri Lanka in the 2-matches Test series which starts on November 27th followed by an identical schedule against Pakistan, which gets underway with a Boxing Day Test on December 26th.

If they complete a 100 % win record in their remaining 4 matches, they will have an overall PCT of 69.44 %.

Australia vs India Team Analysis

Australia Team Preview:

Recent Form: Won, Won, Lost, Won, Won

Squad – Usman Khawaja. Nathan McSweeney, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Mitchell Marsh, Travis Head, Alex Carey (wk), Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood, Scott Boland, Josh Inglis (wk).

With crucial WTC points up for grabs, Australia, who last played a Test in March this year, will be keen to maximize the home conditions against out-of-form India, who surprisingly lost to New Zealand at home 0-3. The Aussies got the elevation to the pole position in the WTC standings (62.5 PCT), following India’s poor run against the Kiwis.

The selection committee led by former skipper George Bailey has named a full-fledged Australia squad for the opening Test of the most anticipated Australia vs India Border Gavaskar Trophy. Speedster Pat Cummins who won numerous accolades as a player and also as a skipper will lead the side.

There are a couple of fresh call-ups for Nathan McSweeney and Josh Inglis into the Test setup, with the former in the line for his Test debut. Sweeney, 25, represents South Australia in the domestic circuit, drafted into the squad following his success over the last few years. He will pair up with veteran batter Usman Khawaja at the top of the order.

Marnus Labuschagne will bat at his regular No.3 position with Steven Smith will switch back to his usual No.4 spot, after opening the innings in the previous 4 Test matches. Aggressive batter Travis Head, all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, and wicket-keeper Alex Carey will form their middle order.

They have retained their regular bowling combination with 3 seamers and a lone spinner. The trio of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood will form their pace unit alongside all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, while Nathan Lyon is the only specialized tweaker in the mix.

The Australians have been badly hurt by how things have gone in the last two outings, when they hosted India in 2018/19 and 2020/21. With an additional Test being introduced this time around, they will hold an advantage heading into the series.

Probable Starting XI for 1st Test – Usman Khawaja. Nathan McSweeney, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Mitchell Marsh, Travis Head, Alex Carey (wk), Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood.

India Team Preview:

Recent Form: Lost, Lost, Lost, Won, Won

Squad – Rohit Sharma (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Sarfaraz Khan, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Washington Sundar, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah (vc), Dhruv Jurel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Harshit Rana, Prasidh Krishna.

Sometimes high confidence will bring down any team and it goes well with India, who recently lost the 18 Test series winning streak at home, going down 0-3 to New Zealand, who never imagined that they would conquer India in this fashion. Morale in the camp is down, with the head coach being criticized for poor decision-making. The lean patch of the veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli is making things even worse.

Here comes the biggest challenge for Team India as they set for Down Under after a gap of 4 years. They pulled off an incredible 2-1 series win last time, despite missing key players. Plenty of makeover has happened to this Test side with no Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane, who have done exceedingly well in the Australian conditions in the past.

The side has to make plenty of adjustments to their combination for the opening Test, with Rohit Sharma set to miss due to the birth of his second child. Speedster Jasprit Bumrah will step in as the skipper for the high-profile contest and also serve as the leader of the bowling attack.

In another major blow, young batter Shubman Gill has fractured his thumb and will miss the opening game. This means there are huge chances of Abhimanyu Easwaran or Nitish Kumar Reddy making their Test debuts. With the middle order unsettled lately, there is a possibility of bringing in Dhruv Jurel, who has shown great temperament under tough circumstances in the unofficial Tests for India A.

Out of form, KL Rahul will pair up with Yashasvi Jaiswal for the opening slot. Big question mark on who will take the No.3 spot in the absence of Shubman Gill. Star batter, Virat Kohli who is currently out of touch will continue to bat at No.4. Rishabh Pant, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel, and Nitish Kumar Reddy will bat in the middle order.

There is a tough call to make for the management to pick between ace all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin in the starting eleven or will both get a chance we need to wait and watch. Not to forget, Washington Sundar is in the squad and can come in at any point of time in the tour.

Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep will join Jasprit Bumrah in the pace department.

Probable Starting XI for the 1st Test – Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Abhimanyu Easwaran / Dhruv Jurel, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Sarfaraz Khan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja / Ravichandran Ashwin, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah (c), Mohammed Siraj.

AUS vs IND Test Series 2024/25: Players to Watch Out for

Steven Smith

Steven Smith, Australia’s reliable batter will be keen to make merry of runs against tough opponents India at home. He requires another 315 runs to reach the landmark of 10000 runs in Test cricket. He will make his way back to his regular No.4 spot after experimenting with fewer Tests in the opening slot. Smith holds a staggering record against India in the longest format, amassing 2042 runs in 19 Tests at an average of 65.87 which comprises 9 centuries.

In the previous AUS vs IND Test series Down Under, he finished as the second leading run-scorer with a tally of 313 runs in 4 matches, averaging 44.71 with the best score of 131.

Virat Kohli

Never write off Virat Kohli when he is out of form as the prolific batter knows how to make a comeback from the lowest points. His stats are outrageous in the Test format where he gathered 9040 runs in 118 matches at an average of 254*. His numbers in the format are not that big in the recent past and still has all the qualities of a true match-winner. Kohli has featured in 13 Tests in Australia and has mustered 1352 runs at an average of 54.08 which includes 6 Test centuries.

He is going to be the key performer for India in the upcoming AUS vs IND Test series.

AUS vs IND Winner Prediction

India won the series 2-1 when they toured Australia in 2018/19 and 2020/21, while Australia on the other hand is not ready to give up this time around under new leader Pat Cummins. We can anticipate a neck-to-neck contest throughout the India Tour of Australia 2024/25, and we at cricket betting predict India to come out on top with a 2-1 margin in the 5-match series.

How many times did India beat Australia in the Test series?

Australia and India have gone head to head against each other in 28 bilateral Test series, with the former coming out on top on 12 occasions. India on the contrary wasn’t left behind as they won 11 times, while 5 series have ended in a draw.

What if India loses against Australia?

India is currently placed 2nd in the WTC standings with a PCT of 58.33, if they lose in the upcoming AUS vs IND Test series badly either 4-0 or 3-1, they might miss out on qualifying for next year’s WTC Final which is scheduled at the iconic Lord’s.

Both Australia and India on paper look compact with a talented bunch of players on both sides. It will be a battle between the Aussie pace attack and the Indian batting unit, which will serve as entertainment for the fans.

SA vs IND 2024 4th T20I Prediction and Betting Tips

India Tour Of South Africa 2024 4th T20I Prediction

South Africa vs India 4th T20I will be played at the iconic Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg, on Friday. With this game, the India Tour of South Africa 2024 comes to an end.

The Proteas don’t have the option of winning the series, but all they can do is level it 2-2. They fought tirelessly in the 3rd T20I, however, ending up short by 11 runs while chasing a colossal 219. Marco Jansen’s stellar all-round efforts (54 runs and one wicket) couldn’t stop them from losing.

Heinrich Klaasen too delivered a rapid 41 runs that kept the chase interesting. In the first half, they got smacked to all parts, except for Marco Jansen, who finished with figures of 1 for 28. Andile Simelane and Keshav Maharaj bagged 2 wickets each but gave away runs easily.

India are in the hunt and want to wrap up the series 3-1, following a hard-fought win in the 3rd T20I. Tilak Varma, who was promoted to No. 3, set the stage on fire with an unbeaten 107*, which was his maiden T20I century. Abhishek Sharma, who was having a lean patch, came back to form with an explosive 50 runs from 25 balls. The experimentation of playing with only a genuine seamer almost backfired as they pushed it till the final over and ended up conceding 208 for 7.

Probable Playing XI – Ryan Rickelton, Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markram (c), Tristan Stubbs, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), David Miller, Marco Jansen, Gerald Coetzee, Andile Simelane, Keshav Maharaj, Nqabayomzi Peter / Lutho Sipamla.

The bowling didn’t go in the favor of South Africa in the 3rd T20I at SuperSport Park, Centurion, as they conceded an excess of 200 for the second time in the series. The absence of front-line seamers Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi was seen during the losses in the 1st T20I and 3rd T20I.

It was not a great decision to send India to bat first on a batting belter and they paid a heavy price for their poor strategy. Marco Jansen ripped off Sanju Samson for no score in the 2nd ball of the innings, after that the rest of the bowlers became just spectators by witnessing fireworks from Indian batters.

There were a lot of positives to think about in their marginal 11-run loss, where Marco Jansen produced an unbelievable knock of 54 from 17 balls, which was filled with 4 fours and 5 sixes. Everyone in the top 7, got the double-digit scores but they were left behind in the asking run-rate during the middle overs. With hopes of winning the series already vanished, they are eyeing to level it 2-2.

Probable Playing XI – Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi / Ramandeep Singh, Avesh Khan, Varun Chakravarthy.

India, who are known for producing new match-winners now and then, used the SA vs IND T20I series as a perfect platform to give rise to Tilak Varma, who hammered an unbeaten 107* runs in the 3rd T20I. Abhishek Sharma’s belligerent 50 at a strike rate of 200 was the other notable batting display in the winning cause. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav found it difficult to defend a huge 220 target as he was left with only 5 bowling options. He didn’t risk bringing in Ramandeep Singh, who could have bowled 2 overs. Left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh stood out with a 3-fer.

Men in Blue are already in the safe zone as they can’t lose the series, where they are currently leading by a 2-1 margin.

SA vs IND 3rd T20I Betting Tips And Prediction

India Tour Of South Africa 2024 3rd T20I Prediction

The South Africa vs India 3rd T20I will be played on Wednesday at SuperSport Park, Centurion. The series is levelled at 1-1, following South Africa’s impressive comeback in the 2nd T20I where they scripted 3 wickets victory with an over to spare. Bowlers pulled up their socks and there was a complete shift in their performance compared to the 1st T20I and were able to limit the visitors to a paltry 124 for 6 in the allotted 20 overs. Later, Tristan Stubbs delivered the best knock under pressure with an unbeaten 47*, and Gerald Coetzee’s late cameo of 19* guided them to a win.

World T20 Champions, India, who comfortably won the 1st T20I by 61 runs, went down in the follow-up by a close margin with an over to spare, despite a stellar bowling effort from Varun Chakravarthy, who bagged his maiden 5-fer in the T20Is. The batters weren’t proud of their shot selection, losing 3 wickets inside 4 overs. Rebuilding acts from Tilak Varma (20) and Axar Patel (27) slightly brought them back into the game. Hardik Pandya’s unusual innings of 39* runs from 45 balls took visitors above the 120-run mark.

South Africa Team Preview

Probable Playing XI – Ryan Rickelton, Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markram (c), Tristan Stubbs, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), David Miller, Marco Jansen, Andile Simelane, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Nqabayomzi Peter.

South Africa had every right to celebrate the victory in the 2nd T20I as they escaped from a painful stumble in the middle, losing 3 wickets quickly from 64 to 66. Tristan Stubbs’ maturity was on point throughout his unbeaten 47*, where he hit 7 fours, and speedster Gerald Coetzee’s quick-fire 9-ball 19* was a surprise element in the winning cause. The victory was badly needed for them in the context of the series as they levelled at 1-1 with 2 games to be played.

In the first half, on a wicket offering plenty of bounce, Proteas bowlers maximized the conditions to good effect to keep India under pressure, restricting them to a modest 124. Nqabayomzi Peter was the pick of the bowlers, returning figures of 1 for 20.

The lack of runs from their prolific middle-order duo of Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller is keeping them on the back foot. If both rediscover their form, they will just become unstoppable.

India Team Preview

Probable Playing XI – Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Varun Chakravarthy.

India’s loss in the 2nd T20I was due to top-order failure and death bowling lapses. The Men in Blue put on their best show in the middle overs of both innings, with Tilak Varma, Axar Patel, and Hardik Pandya scoring important runs. Despite defending the lowest total, the Men in Blue gave their everything, but they failed to secure a win in the neck-to-neck contest.

Mystery spinner, Varun Chakravarthy delivered a magical show with the ball, picking up a 5-fer to create a winning feeling that didn’t last long. Life came in one full circle for Sanju Samson, who scored a century (107) in the series opener and bagged a duck in the 2nd T20I.

Despite getting frequent chances at the top, Abhishek Sharma hasn’t utilized the opportunity to the best as his last 7 innings scores are 4, 7, 4, 15, 16, 14, and 10, and might get one last chance in the 3rd T20I. Will they bring a change to their bowling setup, we need to wait and watch.
