South Africa defeated Australia by five wickets in the first semi-final and secured their spot in the Women's Under-19 T20 World Cup final for the first time thanks to a four-wicket haul from Ashleigh van Wyk and a blistering 24-ball 37 from opener Jemma Botha. Australia chose to play in sunny Kuala Lumpur, and they were immediately at a disadvantage when quick bowler Nthabiseng Nini trapped Ines McKeon leg before wicket on the opening delivery. At the bowler's end, skipper Lucy Hamilton's punch bounced off Nini's fingers onto the non-striker's stumps, and Grace Lyons, who had been promoted up the order, was run out after backing up too far. The South African bowlers, Hamilton and Caoimhe Bray, were cautious and stuck to a wicket-to-wicket line. Only halfway through the fifth over did Australia score their first boundary, but Hamilton soon added a couple more off Nini. Then South Africa's skipper, Kayla Reyneke, missed a sweep and hit in her opening over, putting her opposite number in front of the stumps. Australia failed to score a boundary in 7.3 overs while South Africa put on a spin strangle. In 47 balls, Bray and Eleanor Larosa combined for 27 runs for the fourth wicket. After Larosa was dismissed by a spectacular return catch by Seshnie Naidu, van Wyk took charge and destroyed the Australia lower middle order, taking four wickets in three overs. For Australia to reach 105 for 8 on a strong batting strip, Ella Briscoe's undefeated 17-ball 27 was essential. It wasn't anticipated that South Africa's pursuit would be easy against an Australian attack that hadn't given up more than 100 points during the tournament. But Botha wasted little time. Botha started out by hitting back-to-back fours against Larosa in the opening over, batting far down the track to nullify any movement. A Chloe Ainsworth in-ducker quickly defeated Simone Lorens, who also began with a four. However, Botha was unstoppable. South Africa quickly reached 50 for 2 in six overs thanks to he

Match №64 of the ongoing IPL 2025 between the Gujarat Titans and the Lucknow Super Giants will be set for Thursday, May 22, at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium. Match Overview: In the forthcoming IPL 2025 match, GT and LSG will square off on Thursday, May 22, at Ahmedabad's storied Narendra Modi Stadium. The Shubman Gill-led team has already secured a playoff place with two league games remaining, and they will now aim for a top-two finish to increase their chances of making it to the championship game. Following a convincing 10-wicket victory over the Delhi Capitals, the previous champions are feeling quite confident and will try to keep up their winning streak. LSG, on the other hand, lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad recently and was eliminated from the playoffs. With just five victories out of 12 games, the team captained by Rishabh Pant is presently eighth in the standings. On the other hand, they will want to finish the season strong. The previous time these two sides played at Ekana Stadium, LSG won by six wickets, and they will want to repeat that performance. Match Details: Match: Gujarat Titans vs Lucknow Super Giants, Match 64, IPL 2025 Venue: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad Date & Time (IST): Thursday, May 22, 7:30 PM Streaming: JioHotstar Pitch and Weather Conditions: It is expected that Ahmedabad will have a clear, humid sky with evening highs of about 30°C. Late in the game, though, there's a 40% chance of scattered thunderstorms, which could add some excitement. Expect a belter of a batting track in terms of surface. In five games this season, the Narendra Modi Stadium has had six scores of 200 or above. It's still a place where chasing can be challenging because of its steady bounce and occasional carry for seamers; teams that bat first have won four out of five games. Gujarat Titans Playing 11: Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler, Sherfane Rutherford, Rahul Tewatia, Shahrukh Khan, Arshad Khan, Rashid Khan, R Sai Kishore, Kagiso Rabada

The Delhi Capitals (DC) will play the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Match 24 of the Indian Premier League 2025. Thus far, both sides have performed well throughout the competition. Being the only club without a loss, DC is certainly the greatest team of the season. RCB, who have only dropped one game all season, is not far behind. After defeating LSG by a single wicket and chasing down 210, their best total in league history, DC got off to an exciting start to their competition. Then, in a one-sided match, they defeated SRH by 7 wickets. DC easily defeated CSK by 25 runs in their most recent game. The majority of their players are playing well, and Faf du Plessis' comeback might give them even more confidence. However, RCB has been playing well this season. They have only won away from home, and multiple of those victories have been their first in years. To begin the season, RCB defeated KKR by 7 wickets in their home ground. Later, they defeated CSK by a leading 50 runs, their first victory over CSK in Chepauk since 2008. Despite losing to GT at home, RCB defeated MI in an exciting match at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium to recover in an amazing way. The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru will host the RCB vs. DC team game on April 10 at 7:30 PM (IST). Axar Patel, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, KL Rahul, Rajat Patidar, and Virat Kohli will all be playing in what could be an exciting contest.

Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru will host the game. It is renowned for having one of the best batting surfaces. However, the bowlers received some support during the GT vs. RCB game.

GT vs KKR match details IPL 2025: GT vs KKR 39 Match Details Match: GT vs KKR IPL Match: 39 Date: Monday, April 21, 2025 Time: 7:30 PM (IST) Venue: Eden Gardens, Kolkata Livestreaming: JioHotstar IPL 2025, KKR vs. GT Prediction: The 8th match of the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025) will pit the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) against the Gujarat Titans (GT). The team captained by Ajinkya Rahane will be itching to recover from their putting-down loss at the hands of the Punjab Kings. In Match 39 of the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025), the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will play the Gujarat Titans (GT) at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Monday, April 21. Prior to the match, the team captained by Ajinkya Rahane suffered a humiliating defeat to Punjab Kings (PBKS) after failing to reach 112. Kolkata ended up falling dramatically to be taken over for 95 after needing only 60 runs to win with eight wickets left. After their defeat, KKR is now in seventh place in the standings with three victories from seven games and six points. Due to their middle-order problems, which include Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Venkatesh Iyer, and Ramandeep Singh failing to meet their previous demands, the reigning champions are having difficulty. As they advance in the tournament, KKR will need to make several corrections and will be eager to get back on track in the next match. Gujarat, on the other hand, entered the match having defeated the Delhi Capitals (DC) by seven wickets. With 5 wins from seven games and 10 points overall, the Shubman Gill-led team is dominating the standings in the current season. With a combined effort from the bowling and batting teams, GT is just one wicket ahead.

Arshdeep, Hardik, and Axar each claimed two wickets. While no other English batsman scored more than 17, Buttler led England in a lone battle with 68. Abhishek Sharma, the youthful opener, hammered 79 runs off 34 balls with five fours and eight sixes, making the chase easy.

Sanju Samson joined the Rajasthan Royals (RR) team on Monday after suffering finger surgery last month. Samson was receiving treatment at the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, and it was doubtful if he would immediately take wickets. Keeping Dhruv Jurel in case Samson isn't fit could be a possibility. In the fifth Twenty20 International against England in February, Jurel had also maintained wicket in place of Samson after the latter was struck on the finger by a delivery from Jofra Archer while batting. Riyan Parag will start for RR after fully recovering from a shoulder injury. In the second stage of the Ranji Trophy, the batting all-rounder made his comeback after recovering from the injury that prevented him from playing in the Twenty20 Internationals against South Africa and England. Against Saurashtra, he bowled 26 overs and struck a half-century in the opening innings. RR will play back-to-back home games against the Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders in Guwahati on March 26 and 30, following their inaugural match against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Hyderabad on March 23.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will play the Mumbai Indians (MI) in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match number 41 at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. In their most recent game, Sunrisers Hyderabad lost by four wickets to the Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium. As of right now, they have won two and lost five of their seven games. The Mumbai Indians beat the Chennai Super Kings by nine wickets in their most recent game. In their eight games thus far, they have won four and lost four. Match Details: Match: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians Event: 41st Match, IPL 2025 Date: Wednesday, April 23 Time: 7:30PM IST Venue: Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Pitch Report: The batting pitch at Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi Stadium is decent. Teams may score large runs on it because it is flat. Here in the IPL 2025, the average score in the first innings is more than 200. Sunrisers Hyderabad's 286/6 record is the highest to date. Particularly on the powerplay, batters do well in the early overs. Bowlers who bowl fast and spin begin to receive some help as the game advances. SRH vs MI Head-to-Head Record: Total Matches: 24 MI Wins: 14 SRH Wins: 10 1 match went to Super Over SRH vs. MI Match Prediction: In this match, the Mumbai Indians seem to be in the stronger position given their current form and team qualities. With important players returning to form and their recent winning streak, they are in a strong position to defeat SRH. SRH has the home field advantage and a strong batting order, but MI may take advantage of their inconsistent play, especially when it comes to bowling. Thus, so long as they keep up their current pace and take advantage of SRH's weaknesses, the Mumbai Indians are well-positioned to win this game. SRH vs MI Predicted Playing 11 Sunrisers Hyderabad: Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Aniket Verma, Pat Cummins (c), Harshal P

LSG vs. DC: The IPL 2025's high-stakes drama continues as the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) get ready to host the Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 40 on Tuesday, April 22, at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. This matchup confirms fireworks as both teams compete for playoff spots. Even though they recently defeated the first IPL champions, Captain Rishabh Pant's performance has been a big worry. Even though he only scored fifty runs in this edition at the Ekana Ground, the Indian dasher has only amassed 106 runs in eight games. The left-handed batter's ability to duplicate that performance in this game is therefore still up in the air. In contrast, the Delhi Capitals won four straight games to start the season. But in their last three games, the team has dropped two of them. They will have to work hard against the hosts this time, after Axar Patel and his team battled against the Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad in their previous match. In the background of all of this, the cricket community will never forget how the Delhi Capitals defeated LSG by one wicket when they played each other earlier in the league in Vizag, owing to the heroics of Ashutosh Sharma. LSG vs DC Match Details Match: Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals, Indian Premier League 2025, Match 40 Venue: Ekana Cricket Stadium B Ground, Lucknow Date and Time: 22 April 2025, 7:30 PM Live Coverage Details: Star Sports (TV), Jio Hotstar LSG vs. DC-Head-to-Head: The Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants have already faced one another six times in IPL history.

Ashutosh Sharma led the Capitals to a decisive victory in Visakhapatnam with a brilliant knock under pressure. LSG vs DC Predicted XI Lucknow Super Giants: Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), David M

Trent Boult is believed to have made the decision to play in the remaining IPL 2025. The Mumbai Indians (MI) will benefit from it since Boult has been crucial in their success this season, as they have recovered from a poor start to become a serious playoff candidate. At INR 12.5 crore (about US$ 1.49 million), Boult, 36, was the most costly purchase for MI at the most recent super auction. With 18 wickets at an economy rate of 8.49, the left-arm fast has demonstrated why he is regarded as one of the greatest. He is now MI's top wicket-taker and tied for fourth place in the competition. In addition, he was named Player of the Match for his 4 for 26 performance against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on the road. The rescheduling of the IPL after its one-week suspension on May 10 could have a significant effect on MI and other franchises. Three of the five-time champions' top foreign players are still pending: England batting all-rounder Will Jacks and the South African duo of Ryan Rickelton and Corbin Bosch. Cricket South Africa stated on Tuesday that talks were progressing with the BCCI to determine the next steps and that the NOCs granted to South African players competing in the IPL were only valid until May 25, the tournament's initial finish date. Rickelton and Bosch are both included in South Africa's World Test Championship (WTC) final squad. According to CSA, the players must get together by the end of May in order to get ready for the highly anticipated Test match.
