Match 40 of the 2021-22 BBL sees Melbourne Renegades host Sydney Thunder on Saturday evening at the Marvel Stadium, Melbourne. The Renegades have beaten Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Stars in their last two games and have climbed to 5th in the table. Sydney Thunder defeated top of the table Perth Scorchers in their last fixture. Read on as we preview this game. This BBL fixture begins at 18:05 local time.

The confidence levels in the Melbourne Renegades squad will be at a tournament high after winning successive games. However, this will be a real step-up and all their experienced players must perform.

Sydney Thunder are in excellent form and will see this game as very winnable. A victory will see them move up to 2nd in the table.

Winner – #Sydney Thunder

Match 16 of the 2021-22 BBL brings Sydney Sixers and Adelaide Strikers together at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Tuesday evening. Sydney Sixers currently sit top of the table with three wins and one defeat from their opening four games. Adelaide Strikers have won one and lost two so far in the tournament. Read on as we preview this game. This group stage match begins at 19:15 local time.

Sydney Sixers bounced back from their first defeat of the campaign to register a big victory over Melbourne Stars. They remain one of the strongest sides in the tournament.

Adelaide Strikers are yet to really get going in the tournament due to some inconsistent performances. Make no mistake, the Strikers will come good at some point and beat some of the best sides

Winner – #Sydney Sixers

Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals meet in the 36th Match of the 2021 Indian Premier League on Saturday afternoon at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. Delhi Capitals beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 8 wickets on Wednesday to go top of the table. Rajasthan Royals are currently in 5th with eight points from eight games. This game begins at 14:00 local time.

Delhi Capitals are in fine form and top the IPL. They were ruthless against Sunrisers Hyderabad and completed the win with 8 wickets and 13 balls remaining.

Rajasthan Royals had a very tough time earlier in the year but the narrow win over Punjab Kings has left them very much in the mix in the tournament. The self-belief in the side is returning.

Date – 25 Sep 2021

Time -15:30 IST / 14:00 GMT

Venue – Sheikh Zayed Stadium – Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates 

Winner-Rajasthan Royals

DC vs RR Match Toss Prediction

Neither captain won the toss in their first games in the UAE. We expect both teams to choose to field first in this clash.

DC vs RR Match Pitch Report

There will be something for all types of players in the pitch in Abu Dhabi. However, it is an afternoon game so the ball may swing less than under the floodlights.

Weather Report

A high of 36 degrees with sunny conditions throughout.

Delhi Capitals Predicted Playing 11

Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant (c) (wk), Marcus Stoinis, Shimron Hetmyer, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Avesh Khan

Rajasthan Royals Predicted Playing 11

Sanju Samson (c) (wk), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Evin Lewis, Liam Livingstone, Mahipal Lomror, Riyan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, Chris Morris, Kartik Tyagi, Chetan Sakariya, Mustafizur Rahman

DC vs RR Dream11 Team Prediction

• All Rounder:Chris Morris, Marcus Stoinis
• Wicket Keeper:Sanju Samson, Rishabh Pant
• Bowler:Kagiso Rabada (vc), Mustafizur Rahman, Anrich Nortje, Kartik Tyag

• With Kusal Perera ruled out through injury, Dhananjaya de Silva looks like the most reliable batsman in the Sri Lanka side. He hit 91 against England at The Oval and is an excellent tip for Sri Lanka’s top run scorer. With the ball, Dushmantha Chameera was the leading wicket taker in the series with 6 dismissals. He is worth backing as Sri Lanka’s top wicket taker.
• Shikhar Dhawan will captain this India side and returns to this format with scores of 98 and 67 against England earlier this year. He is a strong bet for India’s leading run-scorer in this match. Yuzvendra Chahal has 92 wickets from 52 ODI appearances and is our recommendation for India’s top wicket taker.
• Minod Bhanuka is expected to be selected as wicket-keeper for Sri Lanka. He has 4 international appearances for his country. For India, we expect Ishan Kishan to be wicket-keeper. Kishan has only played 2 IT20 games but already has an international half-century to his name. We are backing Kishan as the leading wicket-keeper in this opening ODI.

Date – 18 April 2021

Time -15:00 IST / 9:30 GMT

Venue -R. Premadasa Stadium – Colombo, Sri Lanka

Winner -India

SL vs IND Match Toss Prediction

Kusal Perera lost every toss during the ODI series in England and Sri Lanka found themselves unable to deal with England’s bowling. Expect Shikhar Dhawan to insert Sri Lanka if he wins the toss.

SL vs IND Pitch Report

In recent years, both teams have hit ODI totals over 365 at this ground. India certainly have the capability to beat the ground record of 375-5 which they registered in August 2017.

Weather Report

The temperature will fluctuate between 28 and 27 degrees throughout the game under partly cloudy skies

India Predicted Playing 11

Shikhar Dhawan (c), Ishan Kishan (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Manish Pandey, Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Navdeep Saini, Yuzvendra Chahal

Sri Lanka Predicted Playing 11

• All Rounder:Hardik Pandya, Wanindu Hasaranga(vc), Dhananjaya de Silva
• Wicket Keeper:Ishan Kishan
• Bowler:Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav

• Rajasthan Royals have an immaculately balanced side with the presence of versatile all-rounders at their disposal
• Punjab Kings do not have the presence of Indian batsmen in their middle-order and that takes a bit of balance away from their side
• Ben Stokes, Chris Morris, and David Miller are coming off some terrific performances in their recent respective matches

Date- 12 April 2021

Time – 19:30 IST / 14:00 GMT

Venue- Wankhede Stadium – Mumbai, India

Winner – Punjab

Indian Premier League has always been divided between two kinds of teams. There are the likes of Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings, and Sunrisers Hyderabad, who have done justice to the on-paper strength they have. And then, we have the kind of teams who have largely underperformed despite having the on-paper strength.

Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals are two such sides that have consistently underperformed regardless of the talent they had at their disposal. This might be the season wherein either of the two sides can turn that notion around in their favor. They both are set to play their opening contest of the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League against each other and will be looking to start off with a win.

RR VS PK TOSS PREDICTION

As we saw in the first match of this season here, chasing at this venue is extremely difficult. The presence of early dew means that the team batting first needs to score at least 15 runs over par to stay in the game. Not only it is difficult for the bowlers in the second innings here, but the surface also gets easier to bat on as the game progresses. For that reason, the team winning the toss is likely to field first in this match.

PITCH AND CONDITIONS

This match will be played at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, the same venue as the one in the match between CSK and DC. The two sides were greeted by Mumbai’s humidity that time around and the same will be the case yet again. Largely because of the dew factor, the pacers have enjoyed more success here than the slower bowlers.

This stadium has short boundaries and as it is close to the coast, the ball just flies off the bat. Besides, it is going to be a terrific surface to bat and a high-scoring contest is going to be the order of the day.

The team batting first will be looking to post at least 195 runs on the board.

Rajasthan Royals Predicted Playing 11

Robin Uthappa, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson (c) (wk), Rahul Tewatia, Liam Livingstone, Chris Morris, Shreyas Gopal, Kartik Tyagi, Varun Aaron, Jaydev Unadkat

Punjab Kings Predicted Playing 11

RR vs PBKS Dream 11 Team Prediction

• Batsmen:Mayank Agarwal, Dawid Malan, Liam Livingstone
• All Rounder:Ben Stokes(vc), Rahul Tewatia
• Wicket Keeper:Jos Buttler, KL Rahul(c), Nicholas Pooran
• Bowler:Mohammad Shami, Riley Meredith, Kartik Tyagi

• Karachi Kings will look to get back to winning ways again, when they take on in-form Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League.
• Despite openers Sharjeel Khan and Babar Azam being in fine batting form, the Kings have won two and lost two so far.
• Zalmi have won their last three in a row, however – Wahab Riaz (4-17) the pick of the bowlers as they carted Islamabad United for 118 on their way to a big six-wicket win last time out.

Date – 03 March 2021

Time- 14:30:00, GMT +5:30

Venue – National Stadium – Karachi, Pakistan 

Winner- Peshawar Zalmi

KRK vs PSZ Toss Prediction

Every team to have won the toss so far has fielded first and won the match. Karachi are due to win this toss, which has become such a key indicator for how the match will play out.

Weather Report

There will be no change to the Karachi weather, which will once again be hot and sunny.

Pitch Condition

The fast wicket may help the pacemen, but it is also a great pitch for batting.

Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on Mumbai Indians in the 56th match of the Indian Premier League. The match will be played on the Sharjah Cricket Ground and is scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM local time.

So we’re into the final league game of the Indian Premier League and still, even after 55 games we are yet to find all the 4 times for the playoffs. That’s the competitiveness we’ve seen in this year’s IPL. The situation for Sunrisers Hyderabad is pretty simple. If they win, they’re through to the playoffs on account of a better run rate but they’re up against the best team of the tournament, Mumbai Indians, so a win will require some exceptional performances. Sunrisers Hyderabad have some momentum on their side going into this match as they’re coming back from two massive wins over Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore. The problem for Sunrisers still will be their batting that has not been that consistent. Yes, they got 219 against Delhi Capitals the other day but they lack depth in their batting. Wridhhiman Saha at the top has been exceptional in two games he’s played while David Warner too has been among the runs. However, the likes of Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson have been very disappointing. Sunrisers will need them to deliver in this knockout game. Credit must go to the Hyderabad bowler for standing up tall even without the services of their main bowler, Bhuvenshwar Kumar.

Mumbai Indians will be there to give Hyderabad a run for their money. Looking at Mumbai Indians squad, they look a team that’s very hard to defeat. Not that they can’t lose but you need to put together an exceptional performance to get over them. As a team, they’ve a brutal batting line up while Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult and Nathan Coulter-Nile form  a lethal pace attack. The only weak link in the Mumbai Indian seem to be their lower middle order in Krunal Pandya, Jayant Yadav and Keiron Pollard that hasn’t had enough chances to bat. Hardik Pandya was rested for the last game and Mumbai, having already qualified for the playoffs might not want to stress his ace finisher against SRH.

Date -03 nov 2020

Time – 19:30:00, GMT +5:30

Venue- Sharjah Cricket Stadium – Sharjah, United Arab Emirates

Winner –Mumbai Indians

SRH vs MI Toss Prediction

Toss will be crucial as batting second can be comparatively easy because of the dew.

Weather Report

The weather in Sharjah will be challenging with temperatures in the high thirties.

Pitch Condition

The pitch at Sharjah looks slow and batting won’t be the easiest task here. However, dew will aid the team batting second by slightly nullifying the slowness of the wicket

Sunrisers Hyderabad Predicted Playing 11

David Warner (c), Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson, Abhishek Sharma Jason Holder, Abdul Samad, Rashid Khan, Shahbaz Nadeem, Sandeep Sharma, T Natarajan

Mumbai Indians Predicted Playing 11

Dream 11 Team

An interesting battle is on the cards as Mumbai Indians take on Kolkata Knight Riders in the 32nd match of The Indian Premier league.  The match will be played at Sheikh Zayed Stadium; Abu Dhabi and is scheduled to begin  at 6:00 PM local time. Find out the playing 11, follow our betting tips and place your bets at betway and bet365.

Post their loss to CSK in the opening game, Mumbai has been ruthless in their approach in the tournament. With 5 wins in 7 games, they comfortably sit at the helm of the points table, waiting for oppositions to challenge their supremacy in the league. Let me say this very clearly, Mumbai will be a hard nut to crack for any opposition. Rohit Sharma, Quinton de Kock, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, all looks in prime touch. Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya have been magnificent in the limited opportunities they’ve got. In the bowling department, trio of Jasprit Bumrah, James Pattinson and Trent Boult have been the nemesis for the opposition along with Rahul Chahar who’s not let the batsmen get off their hooks in the middle overs. What more can u expect from a team?
KKR, on the other hand have been good, but there is a definite scope of improvement in their team. Shubhman Gill is scoring runs consistently but as an opener KKR need him to play big knocks which hasn’t been the case with him. Nitish Rana, Eoin Morgan, Dinesh Karthik, all have some runs under their belt but lack consistency. Moreover, they’ll be sweating over the form of Andre Russell, who’s looked completely out of touch. There are issues in their bowling too with Cummins unable to get them early breakthroughs. The Indian pace battery has been equally disappointing. With no Sunil Narine, their bowling looks as sleek as it could be. They do have the skills to turn it around but will they be able to do that against a strong Mumbai team? Let’s wait and watch!

Time- 19:30:00, GMT +5:30

Venue – Sheikh Zayed Stadium – Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates 

Winner-Mumbai Indians

MI vs KKR Toss Prediction

Toss could go either way but the team winning the toss should bat first as chasing hasn’t been that easy on this slow wicket.

Weather Report

The weather at Abu Dhabi is expected to make the players sweat with temperatures touching 40 degree Celsius.

Pitch Condition

The pitch at Abu Dhabi looks a wicket that gets slower as the game progresses. Batting second will be challenging.

Mumbai Indians Predicted Playing 11

Rohit Sharma (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya, James Pattinson, Trent Boult, Jaspirt Bumrah, Rahul Chahar

Dream 11 Team

The 2019 champion, Barbados Tridents, conclude their 2020 Caribbean Premier League season against one of the two teams they have beaten in their miserable title defence, Jamaica Tallawahs. The match takes place at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy on September 5 and the live action starts at 14:15 local time.

Jamaica were below par with the bat when these teams last met but they have seven points so far – three wins and a tropical thunderstorm-enforced no result last time out – to ensure they have improved on last year and return to the play-offs. Glenn Phillips’ batting has been a central tenet of their form.

Barbados, on the other hand, have not won since their victory against the Tallawahs due to some pathetic batting displays. They lost to high-flying Trinbago next up but have since scored 89/7 – chasing 93 to win – and then 92 and 89/9 in their last two games. Unsurprisingly, they find themselves well off the pace.

Date- 05 sep-2020

Time-   23:45:00, GMT +5:30

Venue-  Brian Lara Stadium – Tarouba, Trinidad And Tobago

Winner- Jamaica Tallawahs
