South Africa vs India on June 29
Team India (IND) and South Africa (SA) are set to face off in the T20 World Cup 2024 Final at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, on Saturday, June 29. For the first time ever, both finalists are unbeaten in an ICC event, making this match a historic one. In addition, the Proteas will play in their first-ever ICC World Cup final after overcoming their semi-final curse. South Africa have shed the title of "chokers" after advancing to the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 final. After making it to the final without losing a single game, this Proteas team doesn't seem to be affected by the pressure. Similar to South Africa, which has eight wins, the Indian cricket team continues unbeaten. Undeniably, this tournament final between South Africa and India is not an ordinary showdown. Both sides have gone undefeated in their 2024 T20 World Cup campaigns, and this Saturday's clash promises to be an important one for cricket around the world. There has never been an epic match in history where neither team has suffered a single season-long setback.
Best economical pick – Aiden Markram is a right-handed top-order batsman from South Africa who can bowl 1-2 overs with the ball. The star bowler is the biggest threat to the Indian team who can cause most of the damage to Indian bowlers in the final game with his batting skills.
Top captains & vice captains – India's captain, Rohit Sharma, the flamboyant opening batter scored back-to-back fifties in the last two matches. You must keep him for the final showdown. India’s Suryakumar Yadav could be the best batter in the upcoming game against South Africa. Surya was sensational for the Men in Blue in the semi-final against England, where he scored 47 runs in 36 deliveries, helping his side post a total of 171 runs in the first innings
Smart pick – With a pacer friendly pitch, ace India pacer Jasprit Bumrah could be the best bowler in the upcoming game against South Africa. Bumrah has been exceptional for India throughout the tournament, and he will look to put in a similar showing.
Cautious Pick – The left-handed batter Shivam Dube completely failed to mark his impact in the ongoing league and one can ignore him. The all-rounder fails to continue his magnificent IPL 2024 form in the ongoing showpiece event.
My XI – Rohit Sharma (Captain), Suryakumar Yadav (Vice-Captain), Aiden Markram, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant, Quinton De Kock, Heinrich Klaasen, Tristan Stubbs, David Miller

India vs England on June 27
Unbeaten India (IND) take on the defending champions England (ENG) in the semi-final 2 of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. The two pre-tournament favorites will face each other at the Providence Stadium in Guyana, on Thursday, June 27. India have won six games so far in the marquee event. Their match against Canada in the first round was abandoned due to a wet outfield. In the Super Eight stage, they notched up comprehensive wins against Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Australia. Meanwhile, England's opening fixture ended without a result against Scotland before they suffered a defeat to Australia. Their hopes of progressing beyond the first round were dwindling at one point but they managed to bounce back strongly and make the cut for the Super Eights. Jos Buttler's men suffered a defeat versus South Africa but wins against West Indies and the USA helped them seal a spot in the semis. India and England faced each other in the semifinals of the 2022 T20 World Cup. The Three Lions emerged victorious by 10 wickets. However, fans can expect a much closer affair this time, with India being slight favorites considering their recent form.
Best economical pick – English opening batter Phil Salt looks in great form and can give his side a great start to get close to defending their title. He played a brilliant role in leading KKR to win the IPL in 2024, and he can repeat the same for his national side.
Top captains & vice captains – India's captain, Rohit Sharma, was magnificent in the last clash against Australia, single-handedly thrashing them out of the ongoing showpiece event. The 38-year-old cricketer will again be looking to give the team a great start against the defending champions. England skipper Jos Buttler looks in terrific form, and he will once again be looking to destroy Team India in the upcoming game. The top-order batter amassed over 80 runs and stitched the stand with Alex Hales to help his side win the game by 10 wickets during the 2022 T20 World Cup.
Smart pick – The right-arm pacer has been in splendid form so far in the T20 World Cup 2024. He has taken 11 wickets from six matches at an average of 8.55. His economy rate is a miserly 4.09. Jasprit Bumrah is expected to get a good amount of help from the surface in Guyana and England batters will have to bring their A-game to the fore to counter him.
Cautious Pick – The star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has just picked up one wicket in the whole edition and also holds the record for the poor economy amongst the Indian bowlers in the showpiece event.
My XI – Rohit Sharma (Captain), Jos Buttler (Vice-Captain), Jasprit Bumrah, Phil Salt, Suryakumar Yadav, Kuldeep Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant, Harry Brook, Shivam Dube,Liam Livingstone

USA vs England on June 23
Jos Buttler & Co began their Super Eight campaign on a high note as they thrashed West Indies in their backyard while chasing a target of 181 runs. But the former champions could not replicate the same performance against Aiden Markram's South Africa as they suffered a seven-run defeat. After being asked to bat first the Proteas posted a total of 163/6. In reply, the Three Lions were on the right track to chase down the total but lost s few wickets in the middle and eventually lost the game. Meanwhile, the debutants, following an outstanding performance in the group stage, have been unable to regain their winning ways since the start of the Super Eight round. In their first match against South Africa, Aaron Jones & Co. failed to chase down the score and lost by 18 runs. In their previous game against the West Indies, the team was bundled out for a mere 128, which the former champions easily chased down with nine wickets to spare.
Best economical pick – Sam Curran could be the final all-rounder in England’s line-up against the USA. The last edition's Player of the Tournament bowled three overs in his previous game, where he failed to take any wickets and conceded 29 runs to his name. Furthermore, he stayed unbeaten on a score of 10 runs as well. With the game against the USA approaching, Curran will be expected to blossom as well.
Top captains & vice captains – Phil Salt has been in brilliant form since the start of the World Cup. He is the leading run-getter for his side in this tournament with 158 runs after six matches. In the first Super Eight game, he scored an unbeaten 47-ball 87 against West Indies before following it up with an 8-ball 11 versus South Africa. Salt's role as an opener is going to be very crucial against the co-hosts USA. Harry Brook was one of the best batters for England in the side’s recent loss to South Africa. The youngster scored 53 runs in 37 deliveries, hoping to propel his side to a win. He will look to put in a similar showing in the upcoming game as well.
Smart pick – Jofra Archer has bowled with pace and bagged nine wickets in six games at an average of 15.66. He is the highest wicket-taker for his side in the tournament thus far. In the previous game against South Africa, the pacer picked three wickets in a losing cause. His four overs will be key against the USA batters.
Cautious Pick – The English all-rounder line-up is where the team will hope to shine. Veteran pro Moeen Ali will hope to lead from the front; his outing for England against South Africa was subpar. Bowling three overs, Ali conceded 25 runs, took one wicket, and followed it up by scoring nine runs in the second innings. The 37-year-old will hope to utilize his experience in the upcoming game and do better.
My XI – Phil Salt (Captain), Harry Brook (Vice-Captain), Sam Curran, Jofra Archer, Aaron Jones, Adil Rashid, Saurabh Netravalkar, Jos Buttler, Andries Gous, Liam Livingstone, Jonny Bairstow

Afghanistan vs Australia on June 23
Australia and Afghanistan meet again in a ICC tournament nearly a year after they played out a classic. The last time these two sides met was in Mumbai and Glenn Maxwell had pulled off a Houdini act to win his side the game with a terrific ODI double ton. Australia (AUS) broke no sweat with the bat or ball as they downed Bangladesh in their first match of the Super-8 stages. Pat Cummins picked a hattrick while David Warner scored a half-century to power Aussies to an easy win. Afghanistan (AFG) saw their batting collapse against a relentless Indian bowling unit. Rashid Khan was left shaking his head as none of his batters seemed capable of putting up a fight in pursuit of the 181-run score set by India. The only positive for the Afghans was the bowling which came good.
Best economical pick – The Afghanistan pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi was yet again at his best with the bal as he troubled the Indian batters with his swing and seam. Expect the 23-year-old to be a handful when he comes up against the dangerous Aussie batting unit.
Top captains & vice captains – Australia’s David Warner could be the best batter in the upcoming clash against Afghanistan. The veteran batter came into his own in the side’s previous game against Bangladesh, scoring 53 runs in 35 deliveries and his performance could be crucial against Afghanistan. Afghanistan youngster Rahmanullah Gurbaz has been the best batter for his side during this campaign. His rare failure against India doesn't take away the fact that he is a talented batter with a penchant to score big runs.
Smart pick – With a spin-favoring surface, it could be quite possible that Adam Zampa could be the best bowler for the Men in Yellow. With 18 wickets in his last 10 matches, Zampa has been in brilliant form and he will be expected to be on top of his game once more.
Cautious Pick – Drafted into the team in place of Mujeeb ur Rahman the left-handed batter Hazratullah Zazai struggled to get going versus India for 2 and he could struggle once more against the Aussie pacers.
My XI – David Warner (Captain), Rahmanullah Gurbaz (Vice-Captain), Adam Zampa, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Marcus Stoinis, Rashid Khan, Travis Head, Ibrahim Zadran, Pat Cummins, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Marsh

India vs Bangladesh on June 22
In the second round of the Group 1 Super-8 matches, India will take on Bangladesh in a key encounter. If India wins the match, they will enter the semi-finals having won both their matches. Bangladesh, on the other hand, will also want to win the match, having lost to Australia by 28 runs in their first encounter on Thursday. India (IND) began their Super-8 stage with a comfortable win against Bangladesh in Barbados. Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah were the heroes with the bat and ball, respectively. At one stage, India was struggling to force the issue with the bat, but 33-year-old Suryakumar Yadav, with a timely fifty, helped his team score 180. Bangladesh (BAN) put in a disappointing performance with the bat and scored a mere 140 in their match against Australia. Veteran players like Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah had a rare failure as the Australians coasted home to win by 28 runs thanks to the DLS method. The Bangladeshi side has already played India in the warm-up phases and lost the match.
Best economical pick – Young Towhid Hridoy played a breezy knock of 40 off 28 balls against Australia on a day when most of his teammates had failed with the bat. The youngster will be eyeing a bigger score with the bat when his team takes on India on Saturday.
Top captains & vice captains – Indian batting star Suryakumar Yadav led the charge with his half-century in the game against Afghanistan. The 33-year-old will look to keep his form going and help India reach the semis with a win over Bangladesh. Young Rishabh Pant yet again was impressive with the bat and also behind the stumps. The 26-year-old scored 20 crucial runs and gave India the early momentum at a time when they had lost Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli was struggling to score runs.
Smart pick – India's pace sensation Jasprit Bumrah was yet again amongst the wickets with 3/7 from his four overs which included a maiden over. Bumrah will hold the key on a pace friendly wicket in Antigua as the ball will seam and swing if the conditions are overcast.
Cautious Pick – 31-year-old Shivam Dube hasn't been having the greatest of T20 World Cup's after his current failure to score runs. Dube scored just 10 runs against Afghanistan before he was out to Rashid Khan.
My XI – Suryakumar Yadav (Captain), Rishabh Pant (Vice-Captain), Towhid Hridoy, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Shakib Al Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman, Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli

USA vs West Indies on June 22
The West Indies will lock horns with the USA at the Kensington Oval in Barbados on June 22, 2024, at 6 am IST. This is an encounter that the tournament did not anticipate, yet one that it rightfully merits. The co-hosts of this year's T20 World Cup navigated their way through the group-stages, each employing distinctive methods that varied in their degree of surprise. The West Indies asserted their dominance in the league phase, securing convincing victories in all four matches. In contrast, the USA, despite commencing the tournament with a couple of wins, relied on adverse weather conditions in Florida to narrowly advance past Pakistan. Pakistan, despite winning their last couple of league games, fell short of qualification. However, both teams encountered setbacks in their initial Super Eight matches in distinctive manners, underscoring the significance and pivotal nature of their upcoming clash. The team that suffers defeat in this contest will witness a substantial decline in their chances of advancing, thus rendering this match a critical must-win scenario for both sides.
Best economical pick – Given the track favoring spinners in Barbados, and with Gudakesh Motie's adeptness and diverse repertoire as a left-arm spinner, his consistent form throughout the tournament suggests he will capitalize on favorable pitch conditions provided he lands the ball on the right areas.
Top captains & vice captains – West Indies held their hopes high till the time Nicholas Pooran was on the wicket against England. Once he departed the West Indian batting began to struggle. Nicholas Pooran will have to be the lead batter if West Indies have to win against USA and keep their Semi-Finals hopes intact. Since Monank Patel's absence following the match against Pakistan, Aaron Jones has taken charge. After the stand-in captain was dismissed for a duck against South Africa, he would be eager to demonstrate the same skills showcased during the tournament's curtain-raiser against Canada.
Smart pick – The USA wicket-keeper and batter Andries Gous was at his best during the game against South Africa and nearly pulled off a miraculous win. If his team has to keep their hopes alive all the hopes will rest on Andries Gous to come good with the bat once more.
Cautious Pick – One of the most experienced pacers in the USA side, Ali Khan was hit for 45 runs from his 4 overs to endure a terrible day with the ball. It will be advisable not to pick the veteran pacer considering his inconsistent showing with the ball in recent times.
My XI – Nicholas Pooran (Captain), Aaron Jones (Vice-Captain), Gudakesh Motie, Andries Gous, Andre Russell, Saurabh Netravalkar, Johnson Charles, Corey Anderson, Rovman Powell, Nitish Kumar, Brandon King

England vs South Africa on June 21
Match 45 of the T20 World Cup 2024 promises to be an exciting encounter as England (ENG) and South Africa (SA) are set to face off in the Group 2 Super 8 clash. The two are scheduled to meet at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia, on Friday (June 21). England did not have a great start to their tournament—winning two out of four league matches—but they somehow managed to make it to the Super 8 stage. However, an eight-wicket thrashing of hosts West Indies in the opener ensured the defending champions would not start the second round on the back foot. Meanwhile, South Africa won all their group matches and started the Super 8 phase on a winning note, defeating the co-hosts United States by 18 runs. Will England continue their winning momentum or will the Proteas remain unbeaten? .
Best economical pick – Anrich Nortje is currently the second-best bowler in the series with 10 wickets in five matches. With the pitch likely to assist the pace bowlers more, Nortje is expected to have an effective outing in St Lucia.
Top captains & vice captains – A Phili Salt assault in the Super 8 saw West Indies crushed by eight wickets. The England opener scored an unbeaten 47 off 87 with seven fours and five sixes. Salt is likely to continue his good form as the upcoming match will be held at the same venue. Quinton de Kock had a dull start to his World Cup campaign, but the tables turned once he entered the Super 8 stage. The keeper-batter was adjudged Player of the Match against the USA for scoring 74 off 40 balls.
Smart pick – David Miller proved in the match against the Netherlands that he can be there when the team is in trouble. The southpaw steered SA to victory with an unbeaten 59 out of misery. He is a key player for the Proteas.
Cautious Pick – Reeza Hendricks has struggled so far in the tournament. His highest score is 43 against Nepal, but that too came at a concerning strike rate of 87.76.
My XI – Phili Salt (Captain), Quinton de Kock (Vice-Captain), David Miller, Anrich Nortje, Moeen Ali, Jos Buttler, Heinrich Klaasen, Tristan Stubbs, Jonny Bairstow, Aiden Markram, Liam Livingstone

Australia vs Bangladesh on June 21
Australia and Bangladesh will face off in the first round of matches in Group 1 of the Super-8 stages of the T20 World Cup 2024. Both sides have advanced to the next stage of the tournament despite varied results. Australia (AUS) won all their matches in the group stages and has looked to be one of the best teams in the tournament. The former T20 World Cup winners will look to start on a bright note and look to dominate the Bangladeshi team with their explosive players in their team. Bangladesh (BAN) began their tournament with a close win against Sri Lanka before losing to South Africa. The controversial decision during the match meant that the Proteas took home all the points. Bangladesh, though, bounced back with wins over the Netherlands and Nepal to make it to the Super-8 stages as the second-placed team in Group D.
Best economical pick – Young Tanzim Hasan Sakib was the best bowler in the game versus Nepal . In his four overs he gave away just 7 runs and picked 4 wickets to rattle the Nepal batting unit and he will be a dangerous bowler under lights against a formidable Aussie batting unit.
Top captains & vice captains – Australia’s Travis Head could be the best batter in the upcoming game against Bangladesh, Head has been in impeccable form as of late, scoring 250 runs in his last seven matches. The ace opener will be keen on continuing his form and propelling his side to another quickfire start. Former skipper Shakib Al Hasan has found his groove again and has been batting beautifully. His half-century against Netherlands and his 17 versus Nepal was the top score for Bangladesh. The Tigers will hope Shakib finds yet another game changing performance when they face the Aussies.
Smart pick – Ace leg spinner Adam Zampa could prove to be the best bowler for Australia in the upcoming clash against Bangladesh. With 19 wickets in his last 10 matches, Zampa has been exceptional for the Aussies and continues to showcase in class whenever he plays.
Cautious Pick – Bangladeshi opener Tanzid Hasan has managed to score only 47 runs from his 4 matches with 35 of them coming in one innings against Netherlands. The 23-year-old will be wary that the Aussies will come hard at him on a helpful wicket in Antigua.
My XI – Travis Head (Captain), Shakib Al Hasan (Vice-Captain), Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Adam Zampa, Litton Das, Marcus Stoinis, Mustafizur Rahman, David Warner, Pat Cummins, Mahmudullah, Mitchell Marsh

Afghanistan vs India on June 20
Although both teams have garnered three victories from four matches, their standings in their respective groups diverged significantly. India ascended to the pinnacle of Group A, aided by the abandonment of their final league match against Canada due to inclement weather. Conversely, Afghanistan secured the second position in Group C, following a demoralizing 104-run defeat by the co-hosts, West Indies. India boast a dominant record against Afghanistan in T20Is, having emerged victorious in six out of their eight encounters, with one match yielding no result and one getting tied. However, their previous clash, the final match of the bilateral series, was a riveting spectacle, necessitating two Super Overs to reach a conclusion. Given Afghanistan's formidable form this time around, a fierce and closely contested match is anticipated. The conditions, highly conducive for the Afghans, given their potent spinners coupled with their propensity to excel in high-stakes encounters, promise an enthralling battle. India's pace battery is something Afghanistan should be wary about, and it promises an intense battle between the Afghan openers and the new-ball pair of Arshdeep Singh and Jasprit Bumrah.
Best economical pick – India's young pace sensation Arshdeep Singh was the pick of the bowlers in the game against USA with a four wicket haul. Arshdeep can potentially trouble the Afghan openers with his ability to swing the ball into the right-handed batters.
Top captains & vice captains – Afghanistan opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz has been the best batter for Afghanistan in the T20 World Cup. His ability to strike the ball clean and score big runs will make the Indian team wary of his threat. India's hopes of getting early wickets will rest on the shoulders of their star pacer Jasprit Bumrah. The pacer has been in great form in the last few months and his ability to take wickets with the new ball and old will not be lost on the Afghan side.
Smart pick – Left-arm pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi has been one of the best bowlers of the T20 World Cup and with his ability to swing the ball he could pose a huge challenge to the Indian top order.
Cautious Pick – Veteran batter Najibullah Zadran has failed to get going with the bat and this has made him a weak link in the team. With all the experience he has with the bat, Najibullah Zadran needs to start firing for his team.
My XI – Rahmanullah Gurbaz (Captain), Jasprit Bumrah (Vice-Captain), Arshdeep Singh, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Rashid Khan, Shivam Dube, Ibrahim Zadran, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli

Australia vs Scotland on June 16
Australia and Scotland will play their last match of the Group B encounter of the T20 World Cup on Saturday evening. The Australians are already through to the Super-8 stage after their 3 successive wins. Scotland on the other hand will be praying that Namibia can do them a favor by beating England in the earlier encounter on Saturday. Mitchell Marsh and his Australian (AUS) side have played flawless cricket so far to win all three games. Their only stumbling block came in the first match against Oman where they were troubled in the first ten overs. Once they found their groove, Australia have been the team to watch out for in this campaign. Scotland (SCO) have proved to the world why they were called as dark-horses ahead of the T20 World Cup. The Scots began the campaign against arch-rivals England but had to share points as the game was abandoned due to rain. With wins over Oman and Namibia, the Scots now have things firmly in their grasp if they have to make it to the next stage.
Best economical pick – The veteran Scotland batter Richie Berrington has been for years one of their best batters and his unbeaten 47 against Namibia in the last match showed the immense value he adds to the team.
Top captains & vice captains – As this ongoing mega-event marks his final appearance before retiring from international cricket, the southpaw David Warner would be exceptionally eager to leave a lasting impact. He would be aspiring to make a significant impression during his side's final group-stage game of the tournament. Fresh off an outstanding Player of the Match performance with figures of 4/12 against Namibia, the crafty leg-spinner Adam Zampa would be brimming with confidence. He would aim to continue his wicket-taking momentum and build his confidence further as he heads into the Super Eight stage.
Smart pick – One of the dangerous batters in the world today, Travis Head has been smashing each and every bowler to all parts of the ground. The left-handed batter scored 34 runs from 17 balls against England to show how dangerous he can be with the bat.
Cautious Pick – Left-arm spinner Mark Watt was the most expensive bowler for Scotland against Namibia having given away 39 runs from his 4 wickets without claiming a wicket. Watt could come under severe punishment once again if he fails to find his form against the Aussie side.
My XI – David Warner (Captain), Adam Zampa (Vice-Captain), Richie Berrington, Travis Head, Michael Leask, Brad Wheal, Matthew Cross, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Tim David
