New Zealand vs West Indies 1st T20I: Neesham?s 48 unbeaten outplayed Pollard?s 75 blitz. Kiwis wins the opening encounter with five wickets. New Zealand vs West Indies 1st T20I: Neesham?s 48 unbeaten outplayed Pollard?s 75 blitz.



Despite a valiant effort from the Carrebian skipper of 75 not out, Neesham?s 48 unbeaten powered New Zealand to a comfortable win over visitors by 5 wickets. New Zealand greeted the comeback of International Cricket with a commendable win over West Indies in the 1st Twenty20 match of the three-match series.



After a bit of interruption in the game by rain, the game was reduced to 16 overs per side. New Zealand won the toss and decided to bowl first, keeping rain and run rate in mind.



<h2>West Indies inning:</h2>



The West Indies openers Andre Fletcher and Brandon King gave a solid start, both the openers plundered 55 runs in just opening three overs. While Kiwis staged a remarkable comeback after a poor beginning to the game.



Lokie Ferguson and Tim Southee started to damage the Carrebian batting. The visitors were reduced from 58 for no loss to 59-5 in quick succession.&nbsp;



However, the skipper was determined enough to control the game from one end. Pollard smacked the bowlers all over the ground and added 75 runs in 37 deliveries. The fast innings of pollard include 8 towering sixes and 4 boundaries.



<figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



After 16 overs West Indies managed to put a massive total of 180-7. Pollard, Fletcher and Fabian Allen added 75, 34 and 30 respectively to the total.



Lokie Ferguson picked 5 scalps while skipper Southee got two to his bag.



<h2>New Zealand:</h2>



In response to a mammoth total, New Zealand had a tiring start with openers going back inside 4 overs.



The debutant Devon Conway took the charge along with Gleen Phillips who smashed 22 runs in 7 balls with a strike rate of 314.&nbsp;



James Neesham and Devon Conway stitched a good partnership of 80 runs to power the Kiwis close to that total.&nbsp;



However, Devon Conway departed after a memorable inning of 41 runs in 12th overs. Mitchell Santner forged important runs with Neesham guiding them to a five-wicket victory with four balls to spare.

</div></figure>



Lokie Ferguson(4 overs- 21 runs- 5 wickets) got the Man of the Match for his five-wicket haul.



?It was a topsy-turvy game, a bit of indisciplined shown by us by the bowling side of things. We got off to a very good start, 50-odd in three overs but losing 5 wickets after that set us back,? Kieron Pollard, West Indies Skipper.

T20 World Cup 2021: West Indies T20I skipper Kieron Pollard has opened up on the recent buzz around the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, as he asserts that ?education is the main weapon to put up a strong fight against racism.?? The Caribbean skipper?s reaction to the movement came a day after South Africa stumper-batsman Quinton de Kock refused to take a knee for BLM.



Lately, it?s been observed that cricketers and the team management have come forward in support of the movement and spread awareness. Initially, West Indies supported the movement followed by the England cricket team. In the match against Pakistan, team India was also seen taking a knee for BLM post which South Africa also issued directives for its players to take a consistent stand in all its T20 World Cup 2021 matches.



While several people at length and breadth of the internet have liked the gesture of teams extending their support for a cause, some have expressed their resentment over the stand as they believe that sport should be kept safe from the campaigns or religion.



Kieron Pollard in the post-match conference on Tuesday said that when people get educated they automatically understand the basic role behind any movement, though, he asserted that everyone has their own opinions and is free to exercise that.

?You guys know our thoughts on this matter. It?s something that we feel strongly about as a team and as a people, as well, and we will continue to do it. Each and everyone has their own opinions on it, but as I?ve always said, once you?re educated and you understand, we will understand you doing it,? said Kieron Pollard.



?But I think education sort of is the key, and we don?t want anyone doing it for us in solitude or to feel sorry for us. However, I can only really comment more on Quinton de Kock once we?ve got a clearer picture,? Pollard said in the post-match interview.



Temba Bavuma, South Africa skipper, supported de Kock?s decision and said that the South African stumper batter is an adult and exactly know what to do and what not to.&nbsp;



?Quinton is an adult. He?s a man in his own shoes. We respect his decision. We respect his convictions,? said Temba Bavuma at a media interaction.



A strong rage has also begun among the people with one side occupied by those who strongly support the initiative while the other facet is taken by those who believe that cricket, being a sport, should not exercise any movement. Some even expressed that the sport should be free from any boundaries which include caste, religion and even any such campaign and movements.

India vs West Indies 1st ODI: Team India?s home series against West Indies is all set to kickstart with the three matches ODI series, which is scheduled to be played at Ahmedabad?s Narendra Modi Stadium. The senior Indian men?s side has been in a topsy turvy run in the ODI cricket in the last two years.



India has featured in 15 ODI matches and only on five occasions, the men in blue went over the winning rope. There are several debatable angles associated with India?s tumbling show in the 50 overs format. Here in this article, we won?t focus on that, rather we will take you through the India vs West Indies 1st ODI Prediction, Fantasy Tips, Probable Playing11, Match Preview and Pitch Report.



The Indian side will play its 1000th ODI match against West Indies on 6th February under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, who has recently been given the full-time charge of the limited-overs side. On a historic day for Indian cricket, Sharma and the entire India would hope to seal an authoritative win over the Caribbean nation in Ahmedabad?s iconic Narendra Modi Stadium.



Ahead of the three matches ODI series, the hosts found themselves in a bit of mix-up when seven covid cases emerged from the Indian camp. Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer and Ruturaj Gaikwad have been tested covid positive and are not available for the opening match against West Indies.



However, this could turn out to be a blessing in disguise for the Indian ODI side as they can test multiple possible combinations in the given time.



Rohit Sharma has already indicated that Ishan Kishan will open the innings with him while there are high chances for Deepak Hooda to get a chance somewhere in the middle order.



On the other side, West Indies have come here after thrashing England in the five matches T20I series. The Kieron Pollard and Co will come all guns blazing to give a tough fight to the Indians.

<h2 id="india-vs-west-indies-1st-odi-pitch-report">India vs West Indies 1st ODI Pitch Report:</h2>



The behaviour of the pitch in Narendra Modi Stadium will highly depend on the type of pitch used and the amount of grass cover on it. The stadium contains five black soil pitches and six red soil pitches.



The black soil surfaces with less grass largely aid the spinners more than the seamers while the red soil surface is loved by the pacers as they get to extract good movement off the pitch. Hence the nature of the pitch used will determine the course of the game.

The India and Pakistan rivalry has been a great contest on the cricket field, as well as the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, marked by intense competition between the neighbouring nations and passionate fan engagement. It has often been seen that ever since the two teams have stopped playing bilaterals against eachother, these two are featured in every ICC tournament, which draw millions of spectators.  
The rivalry only intensifies, every time the two nations play against eachother, be it the Cricket World Cup or the ICC Champions Trophy. Such has been India’s domination in the ICC events, that they claimed successive wins in both the One-Day as well as the T20 World Cup. However, the Champions Trophy results have been contrasting with Pakistan’s infamous victory in the CT 2017 final against India, as well as their memorable 10-wickets win against India in the T20 World Cup of 2021.    
Clearly, the India vs Pakistan games are celebration of cricket to its peak, where every ball, every run, and every wicket carries the weightage of national pride.
<h2 dir="ltr">Here’s the strongest combined playing XI from the current squads of India and Pakistan for ICC Champions Trophy 2025:</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">1: Rohit Sharma (C)</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679065b3730c0.jpg" alt="" width="792" height="493">

As of now, Rohit Sharma has scored a total of 10,866 runs with an average of 49.16, including 31 centuries and 57 fifties in ODIs. Sharma has this ability to score quick runs and introduce the x-factor of the game for his side. 
<h3 dir="ltr">2: Babar Azam</h3>
Former Pakistan captain and top-order batter Babar Azam would also be a part of the combined ODI playing XI. Though he has been scorched off form recently and has faced sheer criticism, however, the players great antics cannot be overlooked owing to his sudden dip in form. 
As of now, Babar Azam has managed to score 5,957 runs with an average of 56,73, including 19 centuries and 34 fifties.
<h3 dir="ltr">3: Virat Kohli</h3>

As of now, Virat Kohli is nearing the great landmark of 14000 ODI runs in international cricket, as he for now has a total of 13,906 runs to his name with an average of 58.18, including 50 centuries and 72 fifties.
<h3 dir="ltr">4: Shreyas Iyer</h3>
Indian middle-order batter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shreyas_Iyer">Shreyas Iyer </a>has been a consistent player for the men in blue in the ODI format for a long time. Iyer has been a crucial asset to the India middle-order while delivering match-winning performances in the CWC 2023 as well as the Asia Cup. This is the reason he finds himself in place of Indian star wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant.  
As of now, Shreyas Iyer has put on a total of 2,421 runs with an average of 47.47, including 5 centuries and 18 fifties.
<h3 dir="ltr">5: Mohammad Rizwan</h3>

<h3 dir="ltr">6: Hardik Pandya</h3>
Indian all-rounder <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardik_Pandya">Hardik Pandya</a> has been the asset for the Indian side, winning matches on several occasions. Pandya has been a responsible batsman down the order with an exemplary record against Pakistan. He on several occasions has won matches for India single-handedly, be it with the bat or with the ball. 
As of now, Hardik Pandya has scored 1769 runs and has taken 84 wickets for the Indian side in the 50-over format.
<h3 dir="ltr">7: Shadab Khan</h3>
Shadab Khan, the Leg-spin bowling all-rounder has been a crucial player for the Pakistan cricket team in recent times.Though Shadab Khan has not featured much for Pakistan in recent times, his services have been relished by the nation when it comes to limited-overs cricket. 
As of now, Shadab Khan has 855 runs and 85 wickets for the Pakistan side to his name.
<h3 dir="ltr">8: Kuldeep Yadav</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6790665563c6d.jpg" alt="" width="741" height="461">
Kuldeep Yadav: The wizard for India in the sub-continent (Image Credit: X)
Kuldeep Yadav, the left-arm Chinaman bowler, has had an immense impact on India’s performances under sub-continent conditions. He is known for his standout services in the ODI format and hence features as the only main spin bowling option in the 11.
As of now, Kuldeep Yadav has taken 172 wickets for the Indian side with an economy of just 4.99.
<h3 dir="ltr">9: Shaheen Shah Afridi</h3>
Shaheen Shah Afridi has seemingly restored his form after his work stress was reduced, as the pacer has this supreme ability to swing the new ball on both sides. For Pakistan, Shaheen has been a proven matchwinner in several high-profile games in ICC tournaments.
As of now, Shaheen Shah Afridi has picked 119 wickets for the Pakistan Cricket Team with an economy of 5.49.
<h3 dir="ltr">10: Jasprit Bumrah</h3>
India’s most deadliest fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is one of the most feared bowlers in the world currently. Bumrah is an exceptional pacer in all phases of the game, and he can deliver the maximum impact with the new ball as well as in the death overs. Bumrah has not played many ODIs owing to his frequent injuries and still remains doubtful for the Champions Trophy 2025. 
As of now, Jasprit Bumrah has taken a total of 149 wickets with an economy of 4.59 for the Indian side.
<h3 dir="ltr">11: Mohammed Shami</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679066d186630.jpg" alt="" width="779" height="485">
Mohammed Shami's return to the Indian side for the Champions Trophy (Image Credit: X) 
Mohammed Shami, the most experienced right-arm fast bowler for India, is set to feature in the upcoming Champions Trophy, as he has never featured for the Indian team ever since the last Cricket World Cup in 2023, where he was the highest wicket-taker of the tournament. 
As of now, Mohammed Shami has clinched a total of 195 wickets for the men in blue with an economy of 5.55.

Delhi Capitals IPL 2025: The Delhi Capitals (DC) find themselves in a fascinating position ahead of the IPL 2025 season. The team is primed for success with a revamped squad and a renewed focus. However, one crucial question looms large: who should lead the team? The experienced KL Rahul, or the dependable all-rounder Axar Patel? Let’s break down the dynamics and possibilities that each captaincy option offers.
<h2>KL Rahul: The Veteran Leader</h2>
KL Rahul comes to Delhi with a rich IPL pedigree. Over the years, he has proven himself as a prolific run-scorer, amassing over 4,600 runs at a phenomenal average of 45-plus. His experience as captain of the Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants has shown his ability to guide a team to playoff stages, which he achieved twice with LSG. Rahul’s batting consistency and calm demeanor make him an attractive choice to lead DC.
However, Rahul’s captaincy style has been criticized for being conservative, particularly regarding his strike rate and decision-making in crunch moments. This could be a concern for a team like the Delhi Capitals, which boasts explosive batting talent and needs a captain capable of effectively utilizing this firepower.
<h2>Axar Patel: The Fresh Perspective</h2>
On the other hand, Axar Patel represents a new-age leader with a wealth of experience in high-pressure situations. Axar has been DC's vice-captain and even stepped in as captain for a game in IPL 2024. His ability to contribute with both bat and ball makes him a key player, and his recent appointment as India’s T20 vice-captain adds to his leadership credentials.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679063ce6ad86.jpg" alt="">
Axar’s performances last season were nothing short of stellar, with 235 runs at a healthy strike rate and 11 wickets at an economy of 7.66. His all-around prowess, coupled with his understanding of the DC squad, makes him a strong contender for the captaincy.
Choosing between Rahul and Axar is essentially a choice between two distinct leadership styles. Rahul brings stability and experience, having captained for multiple IPL seasons. His presence can calm nerves during tense moments, which is invaluable for a team aiming for the playoffs. Axar, however, offers a dynamic and aggressive approach, potentially aligning better with DC’s young and energetic squad.
<h2>Delhi Capitals, the Squad</h2>
Delhi’s 2025 squad is packed with talent across the board. In the batting department, players like Harry Brook, Tristan Stubbs, and Jake Fraser-McGurk add explosive options, while KL Rahul himself remains a cornerstone at number three. The pace unit, led by Mitchell Starc and supported by T Natarajan and Mukesh Kumar, is formidable. However, the reliance on Axar and Kuldeep Yadav in the spin department highlights a potential area of concern.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679063cab56d5.jpg" alt="">
Delhi Capitals Squad: Harry Brook, Jake Fraser-McGurk, KL Rahul, Mitchell Starc, T Natarajan, Ashutosh Sharma, Mohit Sharma, Sameer Rizvi, Karun Nair, Faf du Plessis, Mukesh Kumar, Darshan Nalkande, Dushmantha Chameera, Vipraj Nigam, Ajay Mandal, Manwanth Kumar, Trupurana Vijay, Madhav Tiwari. DC retentions: Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Tristan Stubbs, Abishek Porel.
<h2>The Strategic Impact of Captaincy</h2>
Under Rahul, DC might adopt a more methodical approach, relying on his ability to anchor innings and guide young players like Abishek Porel and Fraser-McGurk. Axar’s leadership could inject a more fearless and intuitive style, encouraging aggressive cricket and leveraging DC’s bench strength, including veterans like Faf du Plessis.
One key consideration is how the captaincy might affect their individual performances. While Rahul’s form as an opener has been a consistent asset, Axar’s ability to contribute with both bat and ball is crucial to DC’s balance. Assigning the captaincy to Axar could be a gamble, but it might pay off if it inspires the team to rally around a fresh vision.
Ultimately, the choice of captain will reflect DC’s strategic priorities. If the franchise prioritizes experience and a steady hand, KL Rahul is the natural choice. However, if they aim for a bold and innovative approach, Axar Patel might be the leader to take them to new heights.
Either way, the Delhi Capitals possess the ingredients for a successful campaign, and the captaincy debate only adds to the intrigue surrounding their 2025 IPL journey. They are one of the strong contenders for the trophy this year.

KL Rahul or Axar Patel, who could be the Next Leader of Capitals?

Delhi Capitals faces a tough captaincy choice for IPL 2025: experienced KL Rahul or dynamic Axar Patel. Both offer distinct leadership styles, which will shape DC's approach with their star-studded squad and bold ambitions.

Delhi Capitals must choose between KL Rahul’s steady leadership or Axar Patel’s dynamic approach to maximize their IPL 2025 potential.

Can Delhi Capitals win IPL 2025? KL Rahul or Axar Patel, who could be the Next Leader of Capitals?
