IPL 2023: The <a href="https://www.iplt20.com/auction" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.iplt20.com/auction">Indian Premier League</a> (IPL) 2023 is just a few days away from now. The 16th edition of the league will begin from 31st March with a high-octane clash between defending champions Gujarat Titans and four-time champions Chennai Super Super Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium. The summit clash is scheduled to take place on 28th May and it?s fair to say that these two months will be more than a festival for cricket fans in India.?



The league will be played across 12 venues in Ahmedabad, Mohali, Lucknow, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata, Jaipur, Mumbai, Guwahati and Dharamsala. The last there editions of the league were restricted to only a few selected venues due to Covid-19. But this time the tournament will be played in its old method as teams will both home as well as away games.&nbsp;



<h2>IPL 2023: Who will be the wicketkeeper for Delhi Capitals in the IPL 16?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/IMG_6944.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-105005" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Sarfaraz Khan| BCCI/IPL</figcaption></figure>



IPL 2023: The franchises have kick-started their preparations for the tournament. They are leaving no stone unturned in the build-up to the tournament and also had some pre-tournament camps and sessions, where they played practice games and fine-tune their skills.?



If we talk about Delhi Capitals, they were jolted with a massive as skipper Rishabh Pant was ruled out of the tournament. The wicket-keeper batter met with a tragic accident in December last month and has been deemed unfit to play cricket for 7-8 months.&nbsp;



While DC has made David Warner their captain for this season, the quality of Rishabh Pant as a batter and keeper will be a massive miss for the franchise in the tournament. The southpaw has been one of the consistent run-scorers for the team for the last few seasons and it?s fair to say that his shoes will be difficult to fill in.&nbsp;



Although, Delhi Capitals have some exciting players in the hut and if managed well they can lead the team to glory. While the franchise founded an ideal captain in his place, there have been a lot of speculations about who will keep the wickets for the side in the tournament.?

Steve Smith grabs one-handed screamer to send Hardik Pandya packing in the second ODI in Visakhapatnam</a>



The franchise has two options in Sarfaraz Khan and Philip Salt. DC might be tempted to go with the English keeper but considering that team can play only four overseas players, it might not be possible to play him in the side as the foreign slots in the team have already been sealed by David Warner, Anrich Nortje, Rovman Powell and Mustafizur Rahman.&nbsp;



Therefore the only option left with the team is of Sarfaraz Khan. The right-hander is a quality batter and can play a staggering role in the middle order as well. He has been consistently scoring runs in the domestic circuit and can be a perfect player for the team. Also, his picture while doing keeping practice recently hogged over the internet, which can well be an indication that he will perform the role of the keeper-batter in the team.?

IPL 2023: DC had a decent auction this time around as they roped in the likes of Phil Salt, Ishant Sharma, Manish Pandey, Mukesh Kumar, and Rilee Rossouw to strengthen their team. Under the leadership of David Warner, they would be looking to win their first title.?

IPL 2023: Who will be the wicketkeeper for Delhi Capitals in the IPL 16?

ipl-2023-who-will-be-the-wicketkeeper-for-delhi-capitals-in-the-ipl-16

Delhi Capitals (DC) had a poor start to their <a href="https://www.iplt20.com/auction" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.iplt20.com/auction">Indian Premier League </a>(IPL) 2023 campaign. They suffered a massive 50-run loss at the hands of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and it?s fair to say that the loss in the opening game would?ve hampered their confidence. But it?s still early in the tournament as they still have 13 games left and with the kind of talent they have, they can stage a dominating comeback.?



In their first match against LSG, they bowled, batted and fielded poorly. Opting for the ball, they conceded many runs and also dropped catches as well. Based on poor fielding and bowling, they conceded 193 runs. But they looked clueless against the pace of Mark Wood. Skipper David Warner scored a half-century but wasn?t at his fluent best. They struggled to get going and managed only 143 runs, losing the game by 50 runs.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Two changes that Delhi Capitals (DC) might make for their second game against Gujarat Titans (GT)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/delhi_capitals_squad_1652346520806_1652346526085-1024x576.webp" alt="Delhi Capitals" class="wp-image-90931" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Delhi Capitals</figcaption></figure>



Delhi Capitals would want to forget their opening game as it was a really poor performance from their end. They are next slated to face Gujarat Titans at home on 4th April. As their second game is around the corner, let?s take a look at two changes that Delhi Capitals (DC) might make for their second game against Gujarat Titans (GT).?

https://twitter.com/CricCrazyJohns/status/1642172878413250561?s=20
</div></figure>



1. Phil Salt in place of Rovman Powell&nbsp;



One change that Delhi Capitals might look to do for their second game against Gujarat Titans is they can bring Phil Slat in place of Rovman Powell. It?s fair to say that the David Warner-led side lacked a quality keeper in the team, which cost them a few runs. Therefore the West Indies batter might have to sacrifice his place in the side for a specialist keeper in Salt. Also, Powell didn?t make most of the opportunity he got and didn?t look settled with the bat. He managed just 1 run. On the other hand, Salt has been in staggering form and can strengthen the team?s batting lineup.?

2. Yash Dhull in place of Sarfaraz Khan&nbsp;



Another change that Delhi Capitals would be looking to make in their second game is that they could bring in young Yash Dhull in place of Sarfaraz Khan, who had a poor outing with both bat and gloves in the game. The batter scored just 4 runs in 9 balls and looked unsettled at the crease. On the other hand, Dhull has been in fine form in the domestic circuit and his ability to hit the bowlers right from the ball 1 could come in handy for the team in the middle overs.?

Apart from these two changes, Delhi Capitals are unlikely to make a change to their XI. Here?s the probable DC playing XI for their second game against GT:?

IPL 2023: Delhi Capitals are having a torrid run in the<a href="https://www.iplt20.com" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.iplt20.com"> Indian Premier League</a> (IPL) 2023. It?s fair to say that the absence of Rishabh Pant has left their batting order look clueless as they are yet to register a win in the league after playing two games.?



They suffered a massive 50-run loss against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and then went to bag a 6-wicket loss against Gujarat Titans. Be it batting or bowling, they so far have failed to step on the crunch situations and put the opposition under pressure.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IPL 2023: 2 Tactical Changes Delhi Capitals Should Do To Return to Winning Ways</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Mitchell-Marsh-DC_11zon-1024x569.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-104835" /></figure>



Delhi Capitals is now slated to cross swords with Mumbai Indians (MI) in their next game of the IPL 2023 on Tuesday (11th April). It?s still early in the tournament but surely alarm bells would?ve rung in their camp. They have great talent in their squad and all they need do is execute their plans. They are just one win away from gaining all the confidence and returning to winning ways. They just need to do some tactical changes and in this piece, we will take a look at it.?



1. Play Phil Slat as wicket-keeper&nbsp;



With Rishabh Pant not being there, Delhi Capitals is lacking a quality wicket-keeper batter. They asked Sarfaraz Khan to play that role and it?s fair to say he was horrible with both bat and gloves. After that, they drafted young Abishek Poral into the team. The Southpaw look good but he doesn't provide the kind of quality DC needs with the bat this time around. 



However, to solve this problem they need to bring in Phil Slat into the team as a keeper. The English batter has been going through fine form in the international circuit and he can strengthen DC?s middle order, which has struggled in the last two games. The presence of Phil Salt in the team can allow skipper David Warner to go hard at the start, which he has not been able to do due to wickets falling at the other end.?

2.&nbsp; Mitchell Marsh as an opener&nbsp;



Prithvi Shaw has been going through a torrid run in the ongoing IPL 2023. He has failed drastically in the three games Delhi Capitals have faced. However, batting at the top will hamper his confidence and therefore team should look to rest him for a few games. On the other hand, Mitchell Marsh was in a red-hot form during India vs Australia ODI series. He played staggeringly well batting at the top of the order. Delhi Capitals management should waste his form by sending him under pressure situation.



 If he opens the batting, he can take bowlers to the cleaners from the first ball and can give his team a great rollicking start. Although he won?t be available for the game against Mumbai Indians, but he should bat at the top alongside Warner in the team. This will also allow others to express themselves and contribute more.?

IPL 2023: 2 Tactical Changes Delhi Capitals Should Do To Return to Winning Ways

KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 Qualifier 1: In just a few hours, the two batting powerhouse KKR and SRH will lock horns in the IPL 2024 Qualifier 1 with an aim to seal the ticket for the IPL 2024 Finals. Table Topper KKR will be missing their start opener Phil Salt and this is going to create some challenges for the team management. This post reads KKR's Strongest Playing 11 against SRH prediction in IPL 2024 Qualifier 1.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#ipl-2024-qualifier-1-kk-rs-strongest-playing-11-against-srh-prediction">IPL 2024 Qualifier 1:KKR's Strongest Playing 11 against SRH prediction</a><ul><li class=""><a href="#kkr-vs-srh-kk-rs-predicted-playing-11">KKR vs SRH: KKR's Predicted Playing 11</a></li></ul></li></ul></nav></div>



The stage of Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad is all set for the epic clash, and the weather forecast is also favorable for this match. Ahmedabad had a few showers a couple of days back but on the day of IPL 2024 Qualifier 1, the temperature of the city will reach over 45?C making it tougher for the players.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/03/KKRvsSRH-IPL-2024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-128384" /></figure>



Both teams have already landed in Ahmedabad and had a good practice session last night. Sunrisers Hyderabad didn't have any English players in their starting lineup so they will remain unaffected by the withdrawal of English players. KKR, on the other hand, had one of the main frontline batters Phil Salt in their lineup and now he went back to his country for World Cup Preparations.



Below is the KKR's Strongest Playing 11 against SRH prediction in IPL 2024 Qualifier 1:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ipl-2024-qualifier-1-kk-rs-strongest-playing-11-against-srh-prediction">IPL 2024 Qualifier 1:KKR's Strongest Playing 11 against SRH prediction</h2>



When Phil Salt is absent, KKR will walk to another right-handed opening batter who has an equally aggressive approach and almost similar skillset. Rahamanullah Gurbaz is the first player that hits the mind and he might be the perfect replacement for Phil Salt in the upcoming important matches for KKR.



He will join the party with Sunil Narine at the top who has been phenomenal this year with bat and ball. He is the highest run-getter for KKR with 461 runs in 12 games he played and he smashed those runs with an average of around 40 and a strike rate of over 180. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/IPL-2024-Sunil-Narine-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-132502" /></figure>



However, they have a choice of Nithis Rana for the number 3 batter but there are strong chances that they might go with Angkrish Raghuvanshi as he is the one playing in most of the matches and put up a good display with the bat.



Skipper Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer are the next two in the lineup and this makes them one of the most stable and aggressive cores in batting. Four out of the top five are in good touch and it will be a test for Rahamanullah Gurbaz.



Rinku Singh and Ramandeep Singh are the other two Indian players who have abilities to smash the ball out of the park in the death overs. Then, the nightmare for death bowler, Andre Russell makes his place as an all-rounder. We are yet to see a rampage by this beast in TATA IPL 2024 but he is a good knick.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/03/IPL-2024-KKR-Bowler-Harshit-Rana-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-128374" /></figure>



Harshit Rana and Mitchell Starc will spearhead the bowling department and Vaibhav Arora will join them as an impact player. This trio has achieved massive achievements this year and they also have a mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy who is currently 4th in the most wickets tally with 18 wickets. 



These are the 11 players that might make their spot in the Knight's playing 11 in the KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 Qualifier 1.

ENG vs PAK 4th T20I: The stage is all set for the last and a must-win match for Pakistan of the four-match T20I series between England and Pakistan. Iconic Kennington Oval, London is set as the hosting venue which has been historically a fast-bowlers paradise. Considering the pitch report and conditions, we have come up with some key battles to watch out for in ENG vs PAK 4th T20I.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#teams-updates">Teams Updates</a></li><li class=""><a href="#key-battles-to-watch-out-for-in-eng-vs-pak-4th-t-20-i">Key battles to watch out for in ENG vs PAK 4th T20I</a></li></ul></nav></div>



England are already one up in the series after winning the second T20I by 23 runs played at Edgbaston, Birmingham. It is pretty certain that they are not going to lose the series but one thing they would like to do is win the series. If they win the fourth T20I, they will take the series to their name. 



However, Pakistan can't afford to lose this match. They are on their heels at this stage but they would certainly want to cook a win just before entering the ICC T20 World Cup Arena. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/England-T20I-1024x683.jpg" alt="ENG vs PAK 4th T20I Playing11, Dream11 Prediction, England vs Pakistan Dream11 Team, Full Squad, Kennington Oval London Pitch Report, Pakistan Playing11" class="wp-image-134632" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



The weather forecast for London today is overcast and rainy during the daytime. There is a window after 7 PM (GMT) when the weather goes a bit light and hopefully, we will see some action on the ground. England will be the happier side even if the match gets called off as they are already leading the series.



Now, the pitch report of London's Kennington Oval tells that the surface is again going to be loved by fast bowlers. The team winning the toss often opts to bat first even if there is early help for bowlers clearly but batting second in the pitches here has been even harder as the chasing teams have won 7 and 10 went to the batting first teams.



The pacer's eyes will light up as they see the green tint of the pitch, overcast weather, and humidity in the air, and below are the Team updates and key battles to watch out for in ENG vs PAK 4th T20I:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="teams-updates">Teams Updates</h2>



England might look to rest Jofra Archer and Mark Wood may get an appearance. This is because England at some stage of the T20 World Cup might look to play both players in the same match and for this, you need to give both of them equal match time.



Other news was that Buttler might also miss the 4th T20I as he is not with the squad due to family medical reasons. This might impact England but they have got good bench strength to cover it up.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="key-battles-to-watch-out-for-in-eng-vs-pak-4th-t-20-i">Key battles to watch out for in ENG vs PAK 4th T20I</h2>

" class="wp-image-134737" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Babar vs Archer</figcaption></figure>



This battle is going to be one of the most interesting battles to watch out for in the 4th T20I. However, Babar loves the pace on the ball but that extra bounce from both bowlers might put up challenges against Babar. In the second T20I, Babar hit Jofra Archer for a four in the second ball, and that lit up the fire to the competition.



<ul>
<li>Phil Salt vs Shaheen Shah</li>
</ul>



Phil Salt has been England's go-through player in 2024. He is currently the second-ranked player in the ICC T20I batting rankings. A right-handed opener and <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/12160/shaheen-afridi">Shaheen</a> Shah is against him! This is a gem of the contest in itself. Shaheen hasn't been successful against Salt in the past but also hasn't eaten runs. 



There are a couple of more interesting battles in the ENG vs PAK 4th T20I like Topley vs Saim Ayub, Rauf vs Will Jacks and more.

Home Side England (ENG) are set to lock horns against Ashes-Rivals Australia in the first T20i of the three-match T20 International series at Southampton's Rose Bowl Stadium on Wednesday, 11th of September.&nbsp;



The Aussies are entering the series on the back of a comfortable 3-0 series whitewash over Scotland while England on the other hand won the three-match test series against Sri Lanka by a margin of 2-1 but their defeat in the third test match has significantly shifted away the momentum.&nbsp;



Before the 2024 T20 World Cup, the Kangaroos had whitewashed New Zealand by a margin of 3-0 in the three-match T20 International series and they were expected to perform well in the T20 World Cup. However, they had a Forgettable T20 World Cup campaign as they got knocked out in the super eight stage after suffering a shocking defeat versus Afghanistan by 21 runs.&nbsp;



But things have improved since then and the 2021 T20 World Cup winners have returned to their winning groove.&nbsp;



England on the other hand have played many dull white-ball matches which have raised questions about their chances of winning the series against their rivals. The Three Lions played two T20 International series before the 2024 T20 World Cup and lost 3-1 versus the West Indies but they secured a 2-0 win against Pakistan.&nbsp;



In the recently concluded T20 World Cup, things didn't go according to plan for the Three Lions and they crashed out of the tournament after losing to India in the semi finals. England haven't played a T20i match since then and they will be looking to get back to winning ways in the shortest format of the game by winning against their fierce rivals.?

The pitch of Southampton's Rose Bowl Stadium is known to favour batters and the average first-inning score at this ground is 172 runs. This does not mean the chasing team will not have any kind of advantages.&nbsp;



The pitch offers the same amount of support to the chasing side as well as the&nbsp; deck remains the same for the majority part of the match. The Aussies managed to score 248 runs at this very venue against England back in 2013 and that score still remains the highest one scored by any team at this ground.&nbsp;



In terms of bowling, the seamers will make the new ball talk with early-swing in the first six overs and as the game progresses, the spinners will have a big say as well. The weather is expected to be overcast with just a 13% chance of rain.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">England vs Australia 1st T20i International: Head to Head records in T20I?s of both the teams</h2>



The two Ashes-Rivals have faced each other 24 times in the shortest format of the game and out of these 24 matches, the Aussies have reigned supreme on 11 occasions while England have won 11 times as well. Two encounters got washed-out due to constant rainfall.&nbsp;



England won: 11



Australia won: 11



No-Result: 2



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Best players of the first T20 International between England and Australia (Predicted)&nbsp;</h2>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Best Batter (Predicted): Travis Head</h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image alignfull size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/09/gettyimages-1802411227-612x612-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-146903" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Travis Head of Australia poses after being named Player of the Match following the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup India 2023 Final between India and Australia at Narendra Modi Stadium on November 19, 2023 in Ahmedabad, India.

Australia?s star batter Travis Head is in outstanding form and he was at his best in the first T20I versus Scotland as the southpaw scored 80 runs off just 25 deliveries and helped his side get over the line comfortably. His inning consisted of 12 fours and five sixes and he remained not-out with a strike-rate of 320 next to his name.&nbsp;



Thus, the Kangaroos will be hoping that the 30 year old continues to remain in good Nick with the bat and help them win against England in the first T20 International.&nbsp;



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Best Bowler (Predicted): Sean Abbott</h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/09/gettyimages-1984515132-612x612-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-146906" style="width:625px;height:auto" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Sean Abbott of Australia celebrates taking the wicket of Kjorn Ottley of the West Indies during game two of the Men's One Day International series between Australia and West Indies at Sydney Cricket Ground on February 04, 2024 in Sydney, Australia.

32 year old right-arm fast bowler Sean Abbott is regarded as one of the most underrated bowlers in the Australian setup. He's the highest wicket taker in the history of the Big Bash with 165 scalps next to his name and he's a really skillful bowler.&nbsp;



But, he's very unlucky that the likes of Pat Cummins, Josh Hazelwood and Mitchell Starc are playing Cricket for the Aussies at the same-time as him or else he would have played many matches for his side.&nbsp;



Abbott was Australia's joint-highest wicket taker against Scotland with six scalps and leg spinner Adam Zampa was the only bowler to bowl more overs in the three-match series than his 10 overs.?



The conditions of Southampton's Rose Bowl Stadium will suit Sean's bowling and he will be the one to watch out for.?



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Today's match prediction between England and Australia: </h2>



The team which elects to bat first will win the game.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scenario number one</h2>



Australia win the toss and elect to bat first

England vs Australia 1st T20i: Who will win the first match of the series?

england-vs-australia-1st-t20i-who-will-win-the-first-match-of-the-series

The highly awaited and exciting Australia?s tour of England, 2024 is all set to commence as the Mighty Aussies will be locking horns against Phil Salt?s England in the first T20I of the three-match 20-20 series at Rose Bowl Cricket Stadium of Southampton on 11th of September.



After securing an easy 3-0 series win over Scotland, the Aussies will now be playing against their Ashes-Rivals. Mitchell Marsh-led Australia have received a boost with the return of Matthew Short and Josh Hazlewood.



Seamer Nathan Ellis was unfortunately ruled out of the series due to a hamstring-injury, but his place in the team has been taken by Riley Meredith.



England on the other hand will be missing the services of their regular white-ball skipper, Jos Buttler, who has not fully recovered from his calf-injury. In the absence of Jos, hard hitting opener Phil Salt will be wearing the captain's hat.



The squad of the 2022 T20 World Cup winning team consists of some new faces as 20-year-old Batting All-round Jacob Bethell has received his maiden England call-up after working relentlessly hard in Domestic Twenty-Twenty leagues.



Left-arm pacer Josh Hull has also been included in the squad for the T20I series against the Kangaroos and the duo of John Turner (right-arm seamer) and Dan Mousley (right-arm off break bowler) are a part of the squad as well.



As the two fierce rivals prepare to take on each other, the article below will be focussing on the weather-forecast of Southampton's Rose Bowl Cricket Stadium.

Mitchell Marsh-led Australia will be taking on Phil Salt's England in the second T20 International encounter of their ongoing three-game series at the Sophia Gardens Stadium of Cardiff on the 13th of September.&nbsp;



The Mighty Aussies secured a comfortable 28-run run in the first-match in Southampton. With the series now on the line for the hosts while the visitors will be looking to seal the series, the second T20I will be a really exciting one to watch.&nbsp;



In the first game, the Kangaroos managed to post a decent total of 179 runs on the board, thanks to a blistering fifty by Travis Head.&nbsp;



The Three Lions, who opted to field first, struggled to contain the run flow of the Aussie batting unit, with spin bowling all-rounder Liam Linvingstone, dismissing three batters.?



However, the England batting unit weren't able to cope up with the pressure created by the Australian?s and the Aussie bowling unit, under the leadership of Josh Hazelwood, did not allow the hosts to gain any kind of momentum and they ensured that the Three Lions didn't get the opportunity of coming on the front foot.&nbsp;



Livingstone fought like a lone warrior and gave his absolute best in both the departments to help his side stay in the game but his lone efforts didn't prove enough to help his team win the match.&nbsp;



The action of the two-fierce rivals will now shift to Cardiff, England will be looking to make a comeback and equalise the series while the Kangaroos, on the other hand, will be looking to carry forward their winning momentum and secure an early series win.?

ENG vs AUS 3rd ODI: Preview, H2H Record, Live Streaming details and more: Ashes-Rivals England and Australia are set to lock horns against each other in the third One-Day International match of the five-match ODI series at the Riverside Cricket Ground, Chester-Le-Street.



Having secured comfortable victories in the first fwo One Day Internationals, the Aussies will be looking to seal the series by securing a third-consecutive victory over the Three Lions.



On the other hand, the Harry Brook-led team will be desperate to turn things around in the series by winning in the third One-Day International.



It will be a do-or-die match for the hosts and they have to win the third game by any means possible if they don't want their fierce rivals to seal the series.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ENG vs AUS 3rd ODI: Previews of both the teams</h2>



Australia: Under the captaincy of Mitchell Marsh, the Australians have been nothing short of exceptional across all of the departments in the five-match One-Day International series versus England.



Despite missing the services of their premier fast-bowlers, the Kangaroos utilised the abilities of their All-Rounders to the best as they restricted England to a score of 315 runs on a batting-friendly pitch in the first game of the series.



The visitors followed up their brilliant bowling performance with an excellent batting display, effortlessly chasing down a total of 316 runs, thanks to Travis Head?s remarkable century knock.



The second encounter saw Australia?s amazing fight-back abilities as they rebounded from a batting-collapse and posted a respectable total on the board.



Wicketkeeper-batsman Alex Carey was the commander-in-chief for the visitors with the bat, as he helped his reach a score of 270 with his remarkable fifty .



Moreover, the return of the duo of Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc provided a massive boost to the bowling unit of the Aussies, with the Kangaroos inflicting an all-out on England for 202 runs.



The tourists have reigned supreme over the English players in all of the departments so far. Although their top-order batters struggled to get going in the second match of the series, the presence of multi-dimensional players in their squad and their long batting-order make the Aussies the firm-favourites to secure their third-successive victory over their rivals.



Australia's probable playing 11 for the third One-Day International: Matthew Short, Mitchell Marsh (Captain), Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Alex Carey (WK), Aaron Hardie, Josh Hazlewood, Adam Zampa and Mitchell Starc.







England: England have not performed well at all in the first two games of the series as they have underperformed in the majority of the departments.



The likes of Will Jacks, Phil Salt and stand-in-skipper Harry Brook have failed to live upto expectations and their poor performances are the main reason behind the dismal-display of the home side in the series so far.



Except the duo of wonderkid Jamie Smith and Ben Duckett, all the other batters have failed to perform consistently.



Moreover, the home-side have missed the services of the trio of Jofra Archer, Reece Topley and Olly Stone due to their injury proneness.



In such a case, the Three Lions are forced to field an inexperienced bowling-attack.



As a result, captain Harry Brook should utilise the overs of leg-spinner Adil Rashid cautiously as he will be the main Wicket-Taker with the ball, being the most experienced bowler in their lineup.



England's probable playing 11 for the third One-Day International: Ben Duckett, Phil Salt, Harry Brook (Captain), Will Jacks, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Smith (WK), Olly Stone, Jacob Bethell, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer and Matthew Potts.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ENG vs AUS 3rd ODI: Head-to-Head record in One-Day International matches between both the teams</h2>



Fierce rivals England and Australia have confronted each other in a total of 158 One-Day International matches. Out of these 158 encounters, the Mighty Aussies have finished victorious on 90 occasions while the Three Lions on the other hand, have found success in 63 games.



Three games have ended in a no-result situation while two matches have ended in a tie.



Australia won: 90 England won: 63 No-result: 3 Games Tied: 2



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ENG vs AUS 3rd ODI: Pitch Report of the Riverside Cricket Ground</h2>



The pitch of the Riverside Cricket Ground, Chester-Le-Street generally has a tendency of offering really good support for the batters.



Although the seamers will get a lot of movement with the new-ball early on, the batsmen of both the teams will easily find a way to score runs as the match progresses.



As the ball gets older, the spin bowlers will start to extract some turn from the pitch. The toss-winning captain should opt to chase.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ENG vs AUS 3rd ODI: Where to watch the match in India?</h2>



Fans of both teams can tune into the Sony-Sports Network on television to catch the live action of the 3rd ODI between England and Australia.&nbsp;The match will also be broadcasted on the applications and websites of Fan Code and Sony Liv.

Since Dwayne Bravo took over the Kolkata Knight Riders as their new mentor for the upcoming IPL season of 2025, he can anticipate many changes in the KKR team. Also, this time around the mega-auctions are back and hence every team would only retain a small bunch of their players and would be targeting players in the auction. For the defending champions, this seemed a pretty tough job, as they have so many quality players who deck up their team. Though the likes of Skipper Shreyas Iyer, KKR?s stunning rising talent Rinku Singh and last year?s highest wicket-taker among pacers, Harshit Rana might be retained. However, what seems persistent is the two Windies all-rounders, Andre Russell and Sunil Narine might be the two foreign players who can be retained ahead of the mega-auction. 



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Players Kolkata Knight Riders might target in the mega-auction under Dwayne Bravo: </h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">5. Phil Salt</h3>



The English t20 star who was also seen captaining the English T20I side against Aussies, has been their key player in T20s and also their best-ranked batter. Salt had an exemplary season with KKR last season as they won the title. Though there are not many chances of him being retained among the two foreign players, Salt might be key to the KKR management and they might be going after him with all the might. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4. Rahmanullah Gurbaz</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/09/Gurbaz-KKR-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-147887" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rahmanullah Gurbaz might be drawn in back by the Knight Riders (Image Credit: Times of India)</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



Another major opening star with a similar role as a wicket-keeper batter, the in-form stunning Afghanistan opener might be the go-to option for KKR, if they cannot include the likes of Salt. Gurbaz would be their next man to enter an equally key role alongside Sunil Narine as the opening pair. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Nandre Burger </h3>



KKR under Gambhir startled all with their surprise pick of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitchell_Starc">Mitchell Starc </a>for a whopping worth of 24.75 crores an all-time record in the IPL. This move didn?t go wrong for the Knight Riders as despite early struggles Starc came back strongly in the knockouts as he was one of the key players in their title win. However, retaining a player with such a whopping net worth doesn?t seem likely, as Starc might not even star in the IPL further, as Protea?s lanky left-arm pacer Nandre Burger might be a deputy who can be brought in to explore their options with the new ball. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Tushar Deshpande </h3>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/09/Tushar-Deshpande-New-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-147889" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Tushar Deshpande - CSK prodigy might follow Bravo into KKR (Image Credit: ESPNcricinfo)</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



Another CSK prodigy, a house full of talent, the Chennai Super Kings have handed many ace players to the Indian team. Deshpande is one of the rising stars of India, as he was CSK?s highest wicket-taker last season and starred both with the new as well as the old ball. Tushar plays for Mumbai in the domestic circle and has had many promising seasons their in as well. With Bravo having hand-picked him for his unique ability to bowl slowers as well as yorkers and wide ball yorkers, he can be a target for the ex-Chennai veteran. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Nehal Wadhera </h3>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/09/Wadhera-for-KKR-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-147888" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The explosive middle-order batter might switch sides (Image Credit: ESPNcricinfo)</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



Surprised? This name surprises many as the player has not been one of the players with the finest of forms, and hence he would not be retained by the Mumbai Indians. Having shown what he is capable of in the domestic games as well as the Mumbai Indians, he can be an explosive middle-order batting option. Wadhera is a genuine player of both pace and spin and is often known for his aggressive stance on the field. He can be included to strengthen the struggling middle order of the Kolkata Knight Riders.
