<p>India and Australia were involved in a 3-match ODI series in India a couple of days ago where India won the series 2-1. Interestingly, Australia have lost 5 out of their last 6 outings- 3 against South Africa in South Africa and 2 against India in India. Australia won the third ODI and got a little bit of momentum in their favor. They won their 2nd warm-up game against Pakistan whereas 1st against Netherlands was called off due to rain.</p>



<p>Meanwhile, India will be at the peak of their confidence and momentum. Though both warm-up matches of India were washed off, India have enough match practice coming to the ICC main event.</p>



<p>If we take head-to-head stats into account, Australia possess an edge over India. Where Australia won 83 times out of 149 outings, India have won just 56 times. </p>



<p>Both teams are going with one of their key player unavailable for this fierce competition. Travis Head of Australia is missing and Indian star opener Shubman Gill is doubtful. With Gill's unavailability, most probably, it will be Ishan Kishan who will fill up the opening void.</p>

<p><strong>NZ vs AFG:</strong> Tom Latham-led New Zealand will take on Hashmatullah Shahidi-led Afghanistan in the 16th match of the ICC World Cup 2023 on 18 October at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai starting at 2:00 PM IST. A hot and overcast day awaits the New Zealand vs Afghanistan contest and this post covers the detailed NZ vs AFG Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of MA Chidambaram Stadium.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2>Jump To</h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#nz-vs-afg-weather-forecast">NZ vs AFG Weather Forecast</a></li><li class=""><a href="#nz-vs-afg-pitch-report-of-ma-chidambaram-stadium">NZ vs AFG Pitch Report Of MA Chidambaram Stadium</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<p>The undefeated, undisputed, and consistent New Zealand have done nothing wrong on the ground in this tournament. They are making performances, team affords, and good decisions at the right times and the result is- they have won all of their 3 matches with domination.</p>



<p>Huge blow for them as Kane Willamson's undisplaced fracture in his left thumb has once again forced him to sit in the dugout. His absence means Will Young will take over his place immediately, and Tim Southee is available and healthy, but with the extra preparation time, there is minimal need to rotate the bowlers in this game.</p>



<p>Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmanullah Gurbaz's century-opening stand was the cornerstone of Afghanistan's victory the other night. The two had their third-century partnership in ODIs this year, trailing only Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma of India.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/369083-1.jpg" alt="NZ vs AFG Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of MA Chidambaram Stadium | New Zealand vs Afghanistan ICC World Cup 2023" class="wp-image-121521" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Gurbaz and Zadran (ICC/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>Afghanistan is anticipated to deploy the same lineup that defeated England in Delhi, barring any last-minute injuries. Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who had scored the most runs for them in the competition, received a demerit point for hitting a chair and the boundary rope with his bat after being dismissed in the last match.</p>



<p>The stage is set for second-ranked New Zealand to take on 6th-ranked Afghanistan at Chennai. Down below is the NZ vs AFG Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of MA Chidambaram Stadium:</p>

<p>According to?weather.com, it is an overcast, hot, and humid day with a partially cloudy sky throughout the day in Chennai city of India.

<p>There are ~2% chances of rain throughout the day. Humidity is in a higher range, hovering around 70-80%. Winds will gust toward the Northeast at the speed of ~18kmph during the day. Almost no rain interruption and we may enjoy a full 100-over game.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="nz-vs-afg-pitch-report-of-ma-chidambaram-stadium"><strong>NZ vs AFG Pitch Report Of MA Chidambaram Stadium</strong></h2>



<p>The pitch at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium has a reputation for frequently offering a level playing surface that is advantageous to both batters and bowlers. A black soil pitch might be used for the NZ vs AFG game. However, because of the dry nature of the surface, spinners often have a little edge and Afghan spinners are on top of their forms. New Zealand have batting depth but they lack in quality spinning options and that where Afghanistan have a change to go top.</p>



<p>Now, if we speak statistics, in 36 ODI matches played at the stadium, the side batting first won 17 matches, and the chasing team won 18, while one game ended in a draw. The first inning?s total is often about 240.</p>

NZ vs AFG Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of MA Chidambaram Stadium | New Zealand vs Afghanistan ICC World Cup 2023

<p><strong>PAK vs AFG:</strong> Pakistan will lock horns against their Asian counterparts Afghanistan on 23 October at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. Never lost any ODI to Afghanistan, Pakistan will enter the ground with an aim to maintain this good record in their favor at Chennai. It will be an overcast but hot and scorching day in Chennai and this post reads the PAK vs AFG Rain Prediction, Weather Forecast of Chennai, and Pitch Report.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-afg-weather-forecast">PAK vs AFG Weather Forecast</a></li><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-afg-rain-prediction">PAK vs AFG Rain Prediction</a></li><li class=""><a href="#pitch-report-of-ma-chidambaram-stadium">Pitch Report of MA Chidambaram Stadium</a></li><li class=""><a href="#who-will-win-pakistan-vs-afghanistan">Who will Win Pakistan vs Afghanistan?</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<p>One-sided records always look ravishing to the eyes of the record-holding nation and this time it is Pakistan against Afghanistan. Afghanistan have never won any ODI match against Pakistan in the past and Pakistan hold up the winning record of 7-0 in favor of themselves. But there are high chances this time around that Afghans can break the Pakistan jinx at Chennai, India.</p>



<p>Afghanistan entered the tournament riding over some of the best performances of their lives but got a really bad start. They lost the first two matches against Bangladesh and India but made a strong comeback against England and won by 69 runs. Though they lost the next against New Zealand by as many as 149 runs, Afghanistan would like to erase those memories and take on Pakistan with a purpose.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/08/PAK-vs-AFG-2023-ODI-Series.jpg" alt="PAK vs AFG ODI Series 2023: Schedule, Fixtures, Squad, Venue, Date &amp; Time, Live Streaming Details | Pakistan vs Afghanistan 2023" class="wp-image-117999" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">PAK vs AFG ODI Series 2023</figcaption></figure>



<p>Pakistan, on the other hand, got a strong start winning both of their first matches, they also entered the top 4 of the ICC World Cup Points table once but things turned around after they met India. They lost to India by 7 wickets and next they also lost to out-of-form Australia by 60+ runs.</p>



<p>Pakistan are going through form issues with some players when they have a weak bench strength. The opener Imam-Ul-Haq has been out of form for a couple of months but there is no replacement option on the bench except for Fakhar who, himself, suffering through a similar phase.</p>



<p>The skipper Babar Azam has shown some glimpses of his form but not an innings of his standards. However, he is a player of the big stage and hopefully, he will prove it today again. Rizwan has been in exceptional form and he is there at the top 3 run-scorers list as well so he will be looking for more runs.</p>



<p>Down below is the PAK vs AFG Rain Prediction, Weather Forecast of Chennai, Pitch Report, and Prediction of who will win the Pakistan vs Afghanistan match:</p>

<p>A hot but overcast day in Chennai City. Chennai has very hot and scorchy kind of weather throughout the year. Today, on 23 October 2023, the temperature of Chennai City is expected to peak at 33?C in the afternoon and drop further as the sun goes down.</p>



<p>Humidity is predicted to hover between 50-70% in the match hours and winds will gust towards the Southeast at a speed of &lt;12Kmh during the day. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-afg-rain-prediction"><strong>PAK vs AFG Rain Prediction</strong></h2>



<p>There are very minimal chances of rain in Chennai City of Tamil Nadu. The rain possibility is under 5% during the match hours, however, there will be ~40% of the sky covered under clouds. An overcast day for Pakistan vs Afghanistan is what <a href="https://weather.com/en-IN/weather/hourbyhour/l/304a29c4508c568c8e13bf32c284cac0458f7966d589c282a048044f9eef7d43">weather.com</a> predicts. Though, as it is aforementioned, the weather here in Chennai is usually hot so expect a tough day for athletes on the ground.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pitch-report-of-ma-chidambaram-stadium"><strong>Pitch Report of MA Chidambaram Stadium</strong></h2>



<p>A ground well known for its spin-friendly nature, MA Chidambaram Stadium (also known as Chepauk) welcomes the Asian sides. Afghanistan and Pakistan, both have a wealth of good spinners and spin-playing batters, so it will be an even-steven contest.</p>



<p>The pitch often has strong carry and bounce at the beginning, keeping seam bowlers comfortable. Spinners gain the edge as the game progresses, and hitting can be difficult when the surface weakens in the latter innings. A captain who wins the toss may choose to bat first and put up a significant total.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="who-will-win-pakistan-vs-afghanistan"><strong>Who will Win Pakistan vs Afghanistan?</strong></h2>



<p>Pakistan looked uncomfortable with their Afghanistan fixture at Chennai prior to the start of the World Cup. Pakistan have good spinners in their team but none of them even touches the bars of Mujeeb and Rashid and that is where the PCB concern starts. But Pakistan do have batters like Babar, Imam, and Rizwan who are very strong when it comes to playing spin.</p>



<p>Though the contest is neck-to-neck as it is a spin-friendly surface, <strong>Pakistan will win the game</strong> owing to their better batting line-up and in-form fast bowling.</p>

PAK vs AFG Rain Prediction, Weather Forecast of Chennai, and Pitch Report. Who Will Win Pakistan vs Afghanistan ICC World Cup 2023?

pak-vs-afg-rain-prediction-weather-forecast-of-chennai-and-pitch-report-who-will-win-pakistan-vs-afghanistan-icc-world-cup-2023

<p><strong>PAK vs SA:</strong> A do-or-die match for Pakistan and a table-topping opportunity for South Africa, two different teams, and two different journeys. They had a similar start though, winning the first two games comprehensively and then losing the third. Now, after halfway through the ICC World Cup, Pakistan will square off against South Africa on 27 October at MA Chidambaram Stadium. This post will walk you through the PAK vs SA Rain Prediction, the Weather Forecast of Chennai, and the Pitch Report. We will also predict who will win Pakistan vs South Africa.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2><strong>Jump To:</strong></h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-sa-rain-prediction">PAK vs SA Rain Prediction</a></li><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-sa-rain-prediction-1">PAK vs SA Rain Prediction</a></li><li class=""><a href="#pitch-report-of-ma-chidambaram-stadium">Pitch Report of MA Chidambaram Stadium</a></li><li class=""><a href="#who-will-win-pakistan-vs-south-africa">Who will Win Pakistan vs South Africa?</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<p>Pakistan and South Africa have faced each other in 5 matches in ICC ODI World Cup tournaments. Out of these 5 games, Pakistan have won 2 whereas South Africa have come out victorious on 3 occasions. They have played 82 ODIs against each other, where South Africa won 51 and Pakistan won 30 with 1 being washed away.</p>



<p>This World Cup started on a similar note for both teams, three matches- 2 wins and a loss but South Africa bounced back stronger and Pakistan are still in search of the winning formula. Pakistan have lost 3 out of 5 and one more loss would cost them the World Cup dream. Head Coach of Pakistan Mickey Arthur said "<strong><em>We said in the changing room the other night that we have got six matches to win the World Cup. We have to get on a streak and win six in a row</em></strong>."</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/Pakistan-vs-Sri-Lanka.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-120951" /></figure>



<p>Imam-Ul-Haq has been out of form for quite a while now if we put a glimpse against Australia(70) aside. Fakhar Zaman is fit and probably will replace him in the playing 11. Hasan Ali is ruled out of the PAK vs SA game and Mohammad Wasim Jr might fill his void. Haris Rauf is taking wickets but he is being too expensive so you might see another spinner playing in his place.</p>



<p>Pakistan have played a total of 3 matches at Chepauk (MA Chidambaram Stadium) and defeated India twice on that ground but lost to Afghanistan the last night. South Africa, on the other hand, have lost both of their matches at the venue.</p>



<p>While Temba Bavuma is slated to replace Reeza Hendricks. Pakistan's performance against left-arm leg-spin is unsatisfactory. Given the history of the position, the South African captain also said that Tabraiz Shamsi is expected to participate in this match.</p>

<p>A hot but overcast day in Chennai City. Chennai has very hot and scorchy kind of weather throughout the year. Today, on 27 October 2023, the temperature of Chennai City is expected to peak at 32?C in the afternoon and drop further as the sun goes down.</p>



<p>Humidity is predicted to hover between 70-80% in the match hours and winds will gust towards the East at a speed of &lt;12Kmh during the day.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-sa-rain-prediction-1"><strong>PAK vs SA Rain Prediction</strong></h2>



<p>There are very minimal chances of rain in Chennai City of Tamil Nadu. The rain possibility is around 5% during the match hours, however, there are around 25% chances of rain in the morning time.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pitch-report-of-ma-chidambaram-stadium"><strong>Pitch Report of MA Chidambaram Stadium</strong></h2>



<p>MA Chidambaram Stadium, also called Chepauk, is a pitch that is well-known for being spin-friendly and welcoming to spinners and skilled spin players. There are many of quality spinners and spin-playing batsmen in both Pakistan and South Africa, thus this contest will be well-matched.</p>



<p>Pacers have had a better average and strike rate at Chepauk in this World Cup compared to spinners. While 31 wickets have fallen to pace so far, only 19 wickets have been picked by spinners.</p>



<p>The initial bounce and carry of the pitch usually provide seam bowlers with a degree of comfort. As the game goes on, spinners get the upper hand, and hitting can become challenging as the pitch becomes softer in the latter innings. If a captain wins the toss, he may decide to bat first and put up a high total.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="who-will-win-pakistan-vs-south-africa"><strong>Who will Win Pakistan vs South Africa?</strong></h2>



<p>Pakistan have good spinners in their team. But their struggle against Chinamen bowlers is quite visible. Though Babar and Rizwan are excellent when it comes to playing against spin, Pakistan will be on the back foot. South Africa are in golden touch in comparison to Pakistan and they have Shamsi in their squad ready to attack.</p>



<p>Though the contest is neck-to-neck as it is a spin-friendly surface,?<strong>South Africa will win the game</strong>?owing to their better batting line-up and in-form fast bowling.</p>

This dominating win emphasized Kolkata?s amazing track record in the finals of IPL, having made their way in the title deciding matches a total of four - times, including the current IPL 2024 final. It's worth noting that the Kolkata based franchise has lifted the IPL trophy twice in 2012 and 2014 under the formidable captaincy of Gautam Gambhir, who is currently associated with KKR as a mentor.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Sunrisers Hyderabad, under the leadership of Pat Cummins managed to bounce back after their defeat against KKR in Qualifier one with a dominant victory against Rajasthan Royals in the second Qualifier by 36 runs and earned themselves a well deserved spot in the final and a chance to lift the trophy for the second time.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Despite making their IPL debut in 2013, the Hyderabad based franchise has already made it to the final twice since their inception. They lifted their maiden IPL trophy in 2016 under the astute leadership of David Warner and while they qualified for the summit clash again in 2018, they had to face a defeat at the hands of the five time winners Chennai Super Kings.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Weather Report: </strong>According to the weather reports of AccuWeather, the day time on 26th May will be hot and sunny but during the evening period, there are going to be slight chances of thunderstorms and rainfall with 97% cloud - cover. The chances of rainfall interrupting the final are 3% which is not considered a major threat by any means and fans will get the opportunity to enjoy the full game. Average temperature is anticipated to be around 33 degrees Celsius.</p>



<p><strong>Pitch and toss report: </strong>The surface of the Chepauk Stadium of Chennai is well known for favoring bowlers especially spinners. The surface provides an ample amount of turn and grip which makes it difficult for the batters to play their shots freely. In the second Qualifier match between SRH and RR, the dew factor didn't play any kind of a role which allowed bowlers to grip the ball easily and expect it to be the same in the final as well. The toss winning captain will most likely choose to bowl first.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="kkr-vs-srh-ipl-2024-final-players-to-watch-out-for"><strong>KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 Final: Players to watch out for</strong></h2>



<p><strong>1. Sunil Narine: </strong>Kolkata Knight Riders star all rounder Sunil Narine has performed exceptionally well with both bat and ball in IPL 2024 and this has helped KKR to reach the final. 26th May is also Sunil?s birthday so the birthday boy will like to make his 36th birthday memorable by helping Kolkata lift their third IPL trophy with yet another match winning display.</p>



<p><strong>2. Travis Head: </strong>SRH opener Travis Head has been in brutal form with the bat having amassed 567 runs in 14 games at a monstrous strike rate of 192.20 and an outstanding batting average of 43.62. His record in finals with the bat is unmatchable and he will be looking to make his IPL 2024 campaign memorable by helping SRH lift their second IPL trophy.</p>



<p><strong>3. Mitchell Starc: </strong>Kolkata Knight Riders fast bowler Mitchell Starc will have a huge role to play with the new ball and he would like to wreak havoc in the first six overs like he had done against the same opposition in Qualifier one. If the Aussie picks up early wickets for the Shreyas Iyer led team then they will automatically have the advantage in the final considering how dangerous the SRH top order is.</p>

Struggling KKR (3 wins in 7 matches) face table-toppers GT (5 wins in 7 matches) at Eden Gardens. KKR's batting has been inconsistent, with Rahane, de Kock and others failing to chase even modest totals, while their bowlers have performed well. GT, led by in-form Shubman Gill, have been dominant with strong contributions from Buttler, Sudarshan and their bowling attack. The Eden Gardens pitch, initially a point of controversy, is now more spin-friendly but should still allow competitive scores around 180-190. GT have won 2 of their 4 past meetings against KKR.

The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) has reportedly asked the BCCI to ban commentators Simon Doull and Harsha Bhogle from Eden Gardens after they criticized the pitch curator for not favoring KKR.

Eden Gardens is still set to host the IPL 2025 final.
