IND vs NEP: The game between India and Nepal ended in a disappointing way. The rain played the spoilsport and only innings was possible. The focus now tilts towards India?s second game as it?ll be a must-win encounter for them. The win would take them to the super 4 stage whereas the loss would mean they would be eliminated. The match will take place in Palleke.&nbsp;

IND vs NEP: The game against Pakistan was an ideal game for the <a href="https://www.bcci.tv" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.bcci.tv">Indian cricket Team</a>. They had a well desired batting practice against the high-quality pace bowling. There were quite a few issues that might have risen up but they would be looking to address the the issues in next game.&nbsp;



India is likely to retain the same playing 11. Captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill would be looking to get some runs under their belt. The duo didn?t have a good outing in the first game as they struggled to get going in the pacers in the first game.&nbsp;



Virat Kohli played a false shot in the first game and was back in the hut early. He too would be hoping to rectify the mistakes that he made and come out better in the next game. Returning man Shreyas Iyer looked quite positive and played some crisp shots but unfortunately, he gave a straight catch to the fielder. He too would be wanting to get some runs before the Super 4 stage.&nbsp;

Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya will retain their place undoubtedly. The duo bailed India out of trouble and smashed vital 80s that powered India to a decent total. Kishan with his knock might now have made things difficult for KL Rahul to make a return. Pandya on the other hand played yet another crucial knock in the big game and showed his importance.&nbsp;



Ravindra Jadeja too didn?t have a great outing with the bat and the team would be eager to see how he bowls in the next game.&nbsp; Kuldeep Yadav is also likely to retain his place whereas we might see Mohammad Shami replacing Shardul Thakur in the team. The picker Thakur due to batting depth but he didn?t do anything with the bat.&nbsp; Jasprit Bumrah along with Mohammed Siraj will be the two pacers in the IND vs NEP game.&nbsp;

IND vs NEP: In what has been the latest development as per the reports in Revsportz, it is learned that Indian keeper-batter KL Rahul has regained his full fitness and has passed the fitness at the NCA. The right-hander had a slight niggle and didn?t travel with the team to Sri Lanka for the Asia Cup 2023.



KL Rahul was out for a long time due to a thigh injury but after he recovered he faced a fresh niggle. The keeper-batter was part of Team India?s training camp in Bengaluru but was ruled out of the IND vs PAK and IND vs NEP games in the Asia Cup. But now he has been deemed fit and will be travelling to Sri Lanka.&nbsp;



KL Rahul will miss the IND vs NEP game but will be joining the team ahead of the Super 4 stage. <a href="https://www.bcci.tv" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.bcci.tv">India</a> needs to win the game against Nepal to qualify for the Super 4. The right-hander returning will be a massive headache for the team management considering what Ishan Kishan did in the first game.&nbsp;



Ishan Kishan played a magnificent knock under pressure against Pakistan. He bailed his team out of trouble when they were tottering at 66/4 and smashed 82 runs to take them to a respectable total. Also, with him being the left-hander allows India to have a variety in the middle order.&nbsp;

India vs Pakistan Asia Cup Super 4s</a>



It?ll be interesting to see if India persists with Ishan Kishan in the team or will they give a direct walk-in to KL Rahul in the team as he?s the first-choice keeper in the team. Kishan will be having another opportunity to make his case strong as will be part of the team for the IND vs NEP fixture set to take place on 4th September.&nbsp;

IND vs NEP: India will be without the services of Jasprit Bumrah in the game against Nepal. The pace has returned to India for the birth of his first child and will be back for the Super 4 stage, if India beats Nepal and qualifies for the next stage of the tournament.&nbsp;



With Jasprit Bumrah not being available for the IND vs NEP game, there are many speculations about who will replace him in the team. The Indian team will be having two options in Mohammad Shami and Prasidh Krishna. Both have performed reasonably well and it?ll be a great headache for the team to have.&nbsp;



But as per the reports in Revsportz, it is learned that Mohammed Shami is the front runner to replace Jasprit Bumrah in the team for the upcoming IND vs NEP fixture. The pacer hasn?t played ODI cricket for a while but with the kind of quality he has he can rattle any opposition.&nbsp;

The opening contest of the Triangular ODI series is set to be played between the Pakistani Men's National Cricket Team and the Nee Zealand Cricket Team today at the iconic Gaddafi Stadium of Lahore. Many exciting and thrilling encounters will be witnessed in this triangular series but in every game, certain star players will be witnessed fighting a different battle versus each other, which is known as player battles in the language of Cricket. 
In this forthcoming contest between the Shaheens and the Kiwis, such player battles will also take place, which can end up having a profound impact on the outcome of the game. 
This upcoming fixture can prove to be memorable day for both teams and also for the Cricket fans of both nations. This Tri-series holds a significant importance for all the three participating teams as it will allow them to prepare in a perfect way for the mega event of this year, the Champions Trophy 2025. Ahead of this nail biting and entertaining encounter, let's take a look at the player battles. 
<h2>Pakistan vs New Zealand Tri-series 1st ODI: Player Battles to watch out for</h2>
<h3>Shaheen Shah Afridi versus Kane Williamson</h3>
The clash between New Zealand's star batsman Kane Williamson and Pakistan's star fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi can be the biggest attraction of this match. Williamson is known for his calm and consistent batting, while Shaheen Shah Afridi has the ability to trouble any batsman with his fast and accurate swing bowling. Both these players will challenge each other till the end, and it will be interesting to see which player prevails in this incredible player battle.
<h3>Matt Henry versus Salman Ali Agha</h3>
The clash between New Zealand seamer Matt Henry and Pakistan's hard hitting batter Salman Ali Agha can prove to have a significant impact on the result of the match. Salman plays an important role in handling the middle-order duties of the Shaheens and Matt Henry's pace and bounce can prove to be problematic for him while batting. 
Henry is also famous for trapping batters with his high speed bouncers and untraceable swing deliveries and he may have to work hard to tacke the threat posed by the Pakistani batter. 
<h3>Balanced squads of both sides</h3>
Both teams have many impressive young players, who can turn the tables of the match at any time. While Pakistan has players like Babar Azam, skipper Mohammad Rizwan &amp; Shaheen Shah Afridi in their ranks, New Zealand has experienced players like Rachin Ravindra, Kane Williamson and Daryl Mitchell.

Pakistan vs New Zealand Tri Series 1st ODI: Player Battles Worth Watching Out For

pakistan-vs-new-zealand-tri-series-1st-odi-player-battles-worth-watching-out-for

Mohammad Rizwan-led Pakistan is set to lock horns versus Mitchell Santner's New Zealand in the opening contest of the Tri-series in the city of Lahore. This match will be played on the 8th of February at the iconic Gaddafi Stadium and it will commence from 2:30 PM IST (Indian Standard Time) onwards. 
The announcement of Pakistan's squad for the 2025 Champions Trophy was met with bemusement from the majority of the fans, but the playing combination for the match versus the Kiwis is set to shed light on the plans and strategies of the Green Shirts ahead of this year's mega event. The starting 11 of the Mohammad Rizwan-led outfit in the opening encounter of the tri-series will most likely mirror the team that will walk out onto the field on the 19th of February versus the same opponents in the city of Karachi.
<h2>Pakistan's Strongest Playing-11</h2>
Top Order
Experienced batter Fakhar Zaman is set to return to the national team setup after a long gap of more than a year. He last played an ODI versus England in the 2023 ODI World Cup and he hasn't featured in the format since then. But, things have changed and he is a part of Pakistan's Champions Trophy squad and he will be expected to play a key role in the team's success. 
Fakhar's explosive batting skills can help his team get off to quick starts and dominate the opposition in the first 10 overs which is what the team management would be expecting from him. His opening partner is anticipated to be former captain Babar Azam. 
The 2nd opener's spot was a mystery as the Shaheens were left in trouble following the serious injury to Swim Ayub and in his place now, the team management is now going to place their trust in Babar Azam. 
Babar's balanced style of play can prove to be very helpful for his team as he can hold one end while Zaman attacks from the other. While the 29-year-old hasn't opened the innings in the format yet, he's a really experienced player and he will surely prove to be a perfect partner for the explosive Fakhar Zaman. 
Babar's promotion as an opener means that the number 3 spot will go to Kamran Ghulam. The 29-year-old is a promising young batter who knows how to get the better of the opposition with his intelligent game style and he will be expected to do just that in the opening match of the Tri-series versus New Zealand. 
Middle-Order
Captain and wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan is going to be the front-runner to slot in at number four, playing the role of an anchor while also accelerating the innings according to the needs of the situation. 
He will be followed by Salman Ali Agha at number five. Just like his skipper, he has a balanced style of play and he will also be looking to handle the middle-order duties in a perfect manner. 
The middle order will be completed by the duo of Faheem Ashraf &amp; Khushdil Shah and both of them are intriguing picks in the Champions Trophy squad of Pakistan. 
Faheem is a fast-bowling all-rounder who knows how to attack from the word go and his presence in the team will provide a lot of strength and experience to the Pakistani lineup. 
His partner in crime will be spin-bowling all-rounder Khushdil Shah. He's another handy batter down the order who can go after the bowlers with ease and both of them will be anticipated to play the roles of the finishers to perfection.
Bowlers
Left-arm seamer Shaheen Shah Afridi will be leading the bowling attack of Pakistan in the opening contest of the Tri-series versus the Kiwis alongside the duo of Haris Rauf &amp; Naseem Shah and these three form a formidable trio capable of challenging the might of New Zealand's batting lineup with swing &amp; pace. 
Leg spinner Abrar Ahmed will be handling the spin bowling duties and he is anticipated to be the lone specialist spinner in the team. His variations are what makes him special and in familiar home conditions, he will certainly thrive in the middle phase of the match.
Strongest Playing 11 of Pakistan for the match versus New Zealand: Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Rizwan (Captain and WK), Kamran Ghulam, Khushdil Shah, Salman Ali Agha, Faheem Ashraf, Naseem Shah, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Abrar Ahmed and Haris Rauf.

On Thursday at the Eden Garden after a long practice session, Suryakumar Yadav stepped out of the Mumbai dressing room and moved towards the team bus with a big smile on our face and as he usually does humbly obliged all of them for our match. For Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy quarter-final clash against Haryana beginning here on Saturday Surya spent more than an hour at least with the bat at nets ahead of. Surya well knows a fact that he’s going through a difficult phase lately but remaining jolly most of the time certainly keeps the India T20I captain positive, which surely helps while playing at the highest level.
Surya tallied just 28 from five innings, including a couple of noughts, such poverty of runs is a bit odd because of the format in which he usually dominates. Not just in the England T20Is Surya struggled to get going, even in the preceding Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Captaincy-wise, there isn’t much to complain about as his team hammered England 4-1 in the recent T20I series but our own work in playing, of course, Surya didn't expect and doing more practice and work on it and trying to make them team win as a Captain. 
Surya batted at the two main nets against the likes of all-rounders Shivam Dube and Shardul Thakur alongside other Mumbai quicks and spinners for forty to forty-five minutes of practice. Surya entered the nets a few minutes after Mumbai skipper Ajinkya Rahane was done with his batting practice.
Surya walked to the nets on the other side of the ground, spending a few more minutes with the bat, taking throwdowns and facing spinners after taking a little bit of br­eak. He also discussed something with Mumbai head coach Omkar Salvi.
 Surya practices increasingly for Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy quarter-final against Haryana. He discussed his batting after going through multiple phases of practice, stating, “I had to, given the situation... Also, it’s an important game coming up.” Surya played several matches here during his time with the Kolkata Knight Riders, which boosted his confidence about the Eden Gardens ground. The last time he played at this venue, he couldn't get on the scoreboard when he batted during the first T20I against England.
Thus, the challenge may not be easy for Surya against the Haryana bowling attack, but he remarked, “Yes, it’s always good to be here... I’ve done well here, so let’s see,” illustrating that cricket is, without a doubt, a game of challenges.

Suryakumar Yadav Is Ready For The Ranji Trophy Quarter Final...!!!

Surya practices more and more for Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy quarter-final against Haryana. He is talking about his batting after practicing in many phases, he said: “I had to, given the situation... Also, it’s an important game coming up.”

The Mohammad Rizwan-led Pakistan head into the tri-series on the back of an impressive performance in South Africa, where they whitewashed the Aiden Markram-led Proteas 3-0 in the three-match One-Day International series in December of last year. 
New Zealand on the other hand, also has the support of winning momentum on their end as they are coming into this bilateral event after securing a hard-fought 2-1 ODI series win versus Sri Lanka on home soil in January. 
The South Africans haven't been in good form in the 50-over format and their last series was versus Pakistan where they got whitewashed. They will be hoping to turn things around this time around and reign supreme on Pakistani soil. 
This Triangular series between the three teams also gives them a perfect chance to prepare in a thorough manner ahead of Champions Trophy 2025. The Kiwis and the Proteas will also get a very good idea of how the pitches in Pakistan will react as they will be playing their Champions Trophy games on Pakistani soil.
Ahead of this exciting Triangular ODI Series, let's take a look at all the important information related to this bilateral event between Pakistan, South Africa &amp; New Zealand
