India vs Sri Lanka: ICC Champions Trophy - Second Semi final | Watch Live Free Streaming - 20 June

The second semi final of the ICC Champions Trophy is being played between India and Sri Lanka at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff Thursday morning today. In fact today's show off is the clash of two Superpowers of Cricket in subcontinent.

In the first semi final, England beat South Africa by seven wickets and now await the winner of today's semi final in the final to be played on coming Sunday.

For today's match analysts are of the view that more than the pitch, which is contrasting in nature, the weather will be key - light to heavy rain is expected through the day, which will lead to a curtailed match or, at worst, a washout.

So in case if today's semi hit by the rains and results into a washout, India, by virtue of its strong standing in the Group B would go through forward. So it is the luck which will be dominant more today rather than the game.

But if weather stays clear and in favour of Sri Lanka, even then  India have an upper hand in batting and fielding. But at the same time should be careful with Sanga and Mahela, only the 2 players are in good touch. Sri Lanka has a slight upper hand in their fast bowling than India, but we never seem to be struggling against them in the recent past years. So, if weather stays clear, we have good chance to go and beat the Lankans since almost all the 11 Indian players are in good shape to give enough chance to overcome the Islanders.

The likely opposing squads are as under:
India squad
MS Dhoni*†, R Ashwin, S Dhawan, RA Jadeja, KD Karthik†, V Kohli, B Kumar, A Mishra, IK Pathan, SK Raina, I Sharma, RG Sharma, M Vijay, R Vinay Kumar, UT Yadav

Sri Lanka squad
AD Mathews*, LD Chandimal, LHD Dilhara, TM Dilshan, RMS Eranga, HMRKB Herath, DPMD Jayawardene, KMDN Kulasekara, SL Malinga, BMAJ Mendis, MDKJ Perera, NLTC Perera, KC Sangakkara†, SMSM Senanayake, HDRL Thirimanne

The first semi final of the ICC Champions Trophy is being played between England and South Africa at Kennington Oval, London Wednesday morning today.

While England came across more than convincing with their performance by topping the Group A, South Africa have diligently worked their way through Group B to make the semifinals cut - they are behind India in Group B.

England will try to cash on ther excellent bowling performance of James Anderson, who scalped eight wickets in three matches with 3/30 as his best figures in the tournament.

However, South African all-rounder Ryan McLaren is not far behind Anderson with eight wickets in three matches with 4/19 as his best bowling figures for the Proteas. But, with the return of their pace spearhead Dale Steyn into the squad, AB de Villiers' men pose a serious threat to the hosts.

As for the stats on British soil, England lead 12-7 in the head-to-head stakes. The one-day series last summer was tied 2-2, with England winning a low-scoring game at The Oval. This is one of only three Test-playing countries - New Zealand and Sri Lanka are the others - where South Africa have a losing record (16-17).

The likely opposing squads are as under:
England squad
AN Cook*, JM Anderson, JM Bairstow, IR Bell, RS Bopara, TT Bresnan, SCJ Broad, JC Buttler†, ST Finn, EJG Morgan, JE Root, GP Swann, JC Tredwell, IJL Trott, CR Woakes

England beat New Zealand to qualify for ICC CHampions Trophy Semis

England beat New Zealand by a tense 10-run win at Cardiff to qualify for the ICC Champions Trophy semis.

A target of 170 in a game delayed by five hours and reduced to 24 overs per side appeared well within the Kiwis' reach after England lost their last seven wickets for 28 runs.

But the hosts bowled splendidly, especially with the new ball, to restrict New Zealand to 159-8 despite Kane Williamson's valiant 67 off 54 balls.

A large portion of the credit for England's safe passage must go to Anderson, who claimed two key early wickets and finished with 3-32, while Ravi Bopara - their fifth bowler - numbered the dangerous Brendon McCullum in his haul of 2-26.

Should Sri Lanka beat Australia on Monday, England will qualify as runners-up and meet India in the last four at Cardiff on Thursday.

The 12th match of the ICC Champions Trophy is being played between Australia and Sri Lanka of Group A  Kennington Oval, London Monday afternoon today.

Although, Sri Lanka and New Zealand have better chances than Australia to sail into the semis, it is Sri Lanka who have the situation in their control. Their batting showed form during the chase against England and their bowling was exceptional in the narrow loss to New Zealand.

Australia find themselves in a strange position. The team has cruised to the knockout stages in the past, but this time, they are in danger of being eliminated without a win.

India vs Pakistan: ICC Champions Trophy - 10th Match | Watch Live Free Streaming - 15 June

The  10th match of the ICC Champions Trophy is being played between India and Pakistan of Group B at Edgbaston, Birmingham Saturday morning today.

Although Pakistan has lost all its chances to be in the ICC Champions Trophy by losing all its group matches, this last group match is otherwise is meaningless as far the tournament is concerned. But meeting of India and Pakistan always draw large crowds and that too in Birmingham which is house to majority Pakistan and Indian families.

Therefore we see today a match between two countries with their long standing rivalry in cricket amid a volatile and emotionally charged crowd. For face saving, Pakistan would try its best to win the match, which though now seems very unlikely, as India which has already qualified for the semis by winning all its matches will like to maintain the winning momentum before playing semis.

From being the underdogs before the Champions Trophy began, India have become the team to beat. The last time both teams played, in India earlier this year, Pakistan had won the ODI series. One of the biggest factors behind India's struggle back then was the lack of momentum created by the openers.

So let us this match - a match being played for the crowd of both countries and to win over against the other - in fact today's match is more like a WWE's wrestling with lot of beating, action, suspense and drama. One can imagine the crowd interest from the fact that the tickets for the game were sold out within 30 minutes of being made available online.

The likely opposing squads are as under:
India squad
MS Dhoni*†, R Ashwin, S Dhawan, RA Jadeja, KD Karthik†, V Kohli, B Kumar, A Mishra, IK Pathan, SK Raina, I Sharma, RG Sharma, M Vijay, R Vinay Kumar, UT Yadav

Pakistan squad
Misbah-ul-Haq*, Abdur Rehman, Asad Ali, Asad Shafiq, Ehsan Adil, Imran Farhat, Junaid Khan, Kamran Akmal†, Mohammad Hafeez, Mohammad Irfan, Nasir Jamshed, Saeed Ajmal, Shoaib Malik, Umar Amin, Wahab Riaz

Umpires  IJ Gould and RA Kettleborough

South Africa - West Indies: ICC Champions Trophy - 9th Match | Watch Live Free Streaming - 14 June

The 9th match of the ICC Champions Trophy is being played between South Africa and West Indies of Group B at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff Friday morning today.

Today's match is important for both teams as the winner of the Group B match in Cardiff will secure a place in the semi-finals alongside India.

"I think the South Africans will feel the pressure - They have a tag of being chokers that do not do well in big tournaments, so that would be added pressure on them," said Bravo. "They know if they lose, they are going back home.

South Africa Test captain Graeme Smith, who is not part of the one-day squad because of an ankle injury, responded to Bravo's comments by writing on Twitter:  "Never mind pressure on Proteas, Dwayne Bravo just put it all on himself! Not the smartest move from him I reckon."

Captain AB de Villiers looks set to be able to call of Dale Steyn for the first time in the tournament, after the pace bowler missed the opening defeat by India and the victory over Pakistan with a side strain.

South Africa squad

Sangakkara's unbeaten 134 hang England's ICC Trophy Hopes in Balance

When England gave a hefty target of 294, including fifties from Alastair Cook, Jonathan Trott and Joe Root, to Sri Lanka in the ICC Champions Trophy match Thursday, every one thought England was in for sixth consecutive win at Oval.

But that was not be so!!

Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara's imperious century not only led his country to a seven-wicket victory at The Oval but also hang England's hopes of laying hands on the coveted trophy in balance.

Sangakkara's unbeaten 134 was also aided by a 30-ball half-century from Nuwan Kulasekara, that took Sri Lanka to their target of 294 with 17 balls to spare.

Sri Lanka, who were bowled out for 138 in their opening one-wicket defeat by New Zealand, will advance with victory over Australia on Monday.

India vs West Indies: ICC Champions Trophy - 6th Match | Watch Live Free Streaming - 11 June

India take on West Indies in the sixth game of the International Council (ICC) Champions Trophy 2013 at Kennington Oval, London on Tuesday. They have won their respective tournament openers in Group B.

India beat South Africa by 26 runs in the tournament opening game. West Indies beat Pakistan by two wickets in a low scoring match in their previous game.

It may be intresting for many to know that India and West Indies have never played against each other in England in 30 years.

When India last played West Indies in an ODI in England, ODI cricket and West Indies were the kings. India upset West Indies that afternoon, became the new kings of ODI cricket, and paved the way for a whole new commercial explosion in the format, reports cricinfo.

Thirty years later, as they face off in England again, India are the world champions and the No. 1 ODI side, but the format itself is fighting for relevance, at least in popular discourse.

The likely opposing teams for the match are:
India squad
MS Dhoni*†, R Ashwin, S Dhawan, RA Jadeja, KD Karthik†, V Kohli, B Kumar, A Mishra, IK Pathan, SK Raina, I Sharma, RG Sharma, M Vijay, R Vinay Kumar, UT Yadav

Umpires Aleem Dar and AL Hill

Forecast at the Oval is very different to the previous games with cloud cover and 30% chance of rain, the conditions are going to be typical of early summer in England. if utilized well swinging although the use of the crappy Kookaburra ball does negate this a tad.

The match is scheduled on Tuesday, 11 June (09:30 GMT) | at Kennington Oval, London.

Pakistan plays its second match of Group B and fifth match of the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy against South Africa at Edgbaston, Birmingham Monday afternoon today.

Pakistan lost its first match against West Indies, while South Africa lost its first match against India. This evens out both teams for today's encounter.

Therefore both teams must be looking for a win today as defeat at Edgbaston will leave either South Africa or Pakistan on the brink of exit. Neither team is ready for that reality yet, so expect a tooth-and-nail affair between two desperate units.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka: ICC Champions Trophy | Watch Live Free Streaming - 9 June

The 4th ODI of the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy is being played between New Zealand and Sri Lanka from Group A at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff Sunday morning today.

New Zealand with a sky high morale after a 2-1 series win over England, New Zealand would look to carry their good form into the Champions Trophy when they clash with Sri Lanka in a Group A match today.

But the Sri Lanka are no less charged either. They have an overwhelming record of winning 10 of their last 11 ODI matches and six in a row against the Kiwis.

However, the Kiwis are also perhaps the best acclimatised side after hosts England having spent some good amount of time here. They know the conditions well which will help them sort out their team combination quickly.

Although Sri Lanka have a plethora of good bowlers, specially spinners, however like Pakistan their big worry is their batting. Neither the top-order nor the middle order batsmen are in good form. Mahela Jaywardene and Kumar Sangakkara never looked in good touch during the recent IPL. Therefore, it is more likely that Sri Lanka will be relying on their spinners to dismantle as many Kiwi batsmen as early as possible to compensate for their humble batting line.

The likely opposing teams for the match are:
New Zealand squad
BB McCullum*, DAJ Bracewell, IG Butler, GD Elliott, JEC Franklin, MJ Guptill, MJ McClenaghan, NL McCullum, KD Mills, C Munro, L Ronchi†, TG Southee, LRPL Taylor, DL Vettori, KS Williamson

Sri Lanka squad
AD Mathews*, LD Chandimal, LHD Dilhara, TM Dilshan, RMS Eranga, HMRKB Herath, DPMD Jayawardene, KMDN Kulasekara, SL Malinga, BMAJ Mendis, MDKJ Perera, NLTC Perera, KC Sangakkara†, SMSM Senanayake, HDRL Thirimanne

Did West Indies wicket keeper Denesh Ramdin cheat a catch in match against Pakistan?

West Indian wicket keeper's catch of Pakistan's skipper Misbah has become controversial and ICC is of the opinion that the catch off Pakistan skipper Misbah was not clean, reports Gulf News.

Ramdin claimed the catch of Pakistan skipper Misbah Ul Haq who bottom edged a chest high delivery off Kemar Roach in the ninth over of the match. The ball carried to Ramdin who appeared to take it cleanly on first attempt but allowed the ball to spell out of his glove onto the grass. 

He then went and joined his teammates in the celebratory huddle when the square leg umpire felt that they catch may not have been clean. The replays confirmed it and ICC has charged Ramdin with a Level 2 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct whereby he has acted contrary to the spirit of the game.

Ramdin has pleaded not guilty to the offence, and a hearing will take place in London on Monday. The range of penalties for all first Level 2 breaches are the imposition of a fine of between 50-100% of a player’s match fee and/or a suspension of up to two ODI matches.

Australia vs England: ICC Champions Trophy - 3rd ODI - Group A | Watch Live Free Streaming - 8 June

The third ODI of the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy is being played between Australia and England from Group A at Edgbaston, Birmingham Saturday morning today.

Australia is in a state of crisis - an irredeemable batting display saw them bowled out for 65 by India and, to make matters worse, the chronic back complaint that ruled their captain, Michael Clarke out of this match, has yet to respond to treatment.

As for England, it will find it a welcome change to be playing somebody different from New Zealand. They beat them 2-1 in New Zealand then lost by the same scoreline in England. It is time for a new challenge.

The likely opposing teams for the match are:
Australia squad
MJ Clarke*, GJ Bailey, NM Coulter-Nile, XJ Doherty, JP Faulkner, PJ Hughes, MG Johnson, CJ McKay, MR Marsh, GJ Maxwell, MA Starc, AC Voges, MS Wade†, DA Warner, SR Watson

England squad
AN Cook*, JM Anderson, JM Bairstow, IR Bell, RS Bopara, TT Bresnan, SCJ Broad, JC Buttler†, ST Finn, EJG Morgan, JE Root, GP Swann, JC Tredwell, IJL Trott, CR Woakes

Umpires HDPK Dharmasena and M Erasmus

As for the pitch and weather conditions, England is enjoying one of its most settled spells of summer weather in recent years and it is set to continue over the weekend. That could negate the threat of two new balls as batting conditions are more comfortable than anticipated. The bowlers can expect some more unsettled weather, especially in Cardiff, reports cricinfo.

The match is scheduled on Saturday, 8 June (09:30 GMT) | at Edgbaston, Birmingham.

West Indies beat Pakistan by 2 wickets in ICC Champion Trophy second ODI at Oval

Chris Gayle bowled by Saeed Ajmal for 39 [Photo: Cricinfo]

As many expected, the West Indies prevailed upon a rather inexperienced Pakistan cricket squad for ICC Champions Trophy 2013 when both teams met at Oval Friday today for their first ODI of Group B.

Although West Indies won the toss, but seeing the pitch conditions that were likely to assist the bolwers, the W indies decided to field - which looked like a good decision.

Coming to bat, Pakistan showed a hopeless performance as most of its players went back for ducks or paltry score of less than ten. It was only  Jamshed and Misbah (captain) who showed a superb game and scored 50 and 96 respectively.

Roach and Narine were the most successful bowlers who dismantled three for 28 and three for 34 respectively.

Coming to bat to chase a target of 171, Gayle scored 39 before being bowled by Saeed Ajmal. Samuels and Pollard scored 30 each and the West Indians were able to reach the target and scored 172 with 56 alls remaining and two wickets in hand.

Mighty Irfan was the most successful bowler who took 3 for 32, followed by two wickets each by Saeed Ajmal and Wahab Riaz.

So once again batsmen failed the bowlers of Pakistan and let go many chances to score more and carry the day. This seem to continue to go on during the remaining matches and Pakistan has started with a lose start - a posture form which they must recover as fast as they can - lest the tournament slips out of their hands.

Pakistan vs West Indies: ICC Champions Trophy - 2nd ODI | Watch Live Free Streaming - 7 June

The ICC Champions Trophy, which kicked off Thursday yesterday with its first match between India and South Africa, enters its second day and second match between Pakistan and the West Indies of Group B Friday today.

In the opener first day match India beat South Africa by 26 runs, after 114 from Shikhar Dhawan at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff.

It was here in 2004 when the West Indies won the Champions Trophy and when Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo, and Ramnaresh Sarwan enter the Oval today, they will be reminded of their winning day some nine years ago.

Pakistan is without its some key players like Younis Khan and Shahid Afridi this year, which made Pakistan's matches against Ireland recently as Pakistan barely managed to beat Ireland. Pakistan's fast bowler Umer Gul is also out due to injury. This leaves Pakistan an uphill task to win over the experienced squad of the W indies. This leaves a heavy responsibility on Saeed Ajmal - Pakistan can rely on him to bowl economical overs and pick up important wickets as well.
