The pitch at R Premadasa Stadium has an even wicket that favours both batsmen and bowlers, but batsmen will have the upper hand because the wicket is flat and dry, which is slightly more helpful to them. But the bowlers, particularly the pacers, might claim a few early victims, whereas the spinners might claim a few victims in the middle overs.

AFG vs PAK 3rd ODI: Following a narrow 1-wicket win in the 2nd ODI against Afghanistan, Babar Azam-led Pakistan have grabbed the 3-match ODI series 0-2. Now under overcast conditions, Pakistan and Afghanistan are all set to lock horns at R Premadasa Stadium,&nbsp;Colombo in the 3rd ODI on 26 August. This post will lead you through AFG vs PAK 3rd ODI Weather Forecast, Rain Prediction, and Pitch Report of&nbsp;R Premadasa Stadium,&nbsp;Colombo.

Following a decisive 142-run victory in the series opener at the Mahinda Rajapaksa Cricket Stadium in Hambantota, Pakistan escaped a nightmare on Thursday (August 24) with to Naseem Shah's heroic batting skills in the final over to win by one wicket and secure the series.



The entire series has been dominated by Pakistan. They were brutal in the opening ODI game and skittled Afghanistan for a miserable total of 59. In the last ODI, Afghanistan's opening pair of Gurbaz and Zadran controlled the bulk of the first innings by putting together a record-breaking 227-run partnership to push Afghanistan to a commanding 300. But their bowlers were unable to hold the grip this time around.



Referring to their head-to-head records, Afghanistan is no match for Pakistan. Pakistan came out on top in all five of their encounters against Afghanistan in ODI cricket. In contrast to Afghanistan, who have lost three of their past five ODI games, the Men in Green have only lost one of their last five games overall.



As they did in the last game, Afghanistan will want to put up a strong fight and win the remainder of the series. Both teams will focus their attention on the crucial Asia Cup 2023, which is scheduled to begin on August 30, after the ODI series is over.



Down below is AFG vs PAK 3rd ODI Weather Forecast, Rain Prediction, and Pitch Report of&nbsp;R Premadasa Stadium,&nbsp;Colombo:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="afg-vs-pak-3rd-odi-weather-forecast">AFG vs PAK 3rd ODI Weather Forecast</h2>



On August 26 (Saturday), the weather is expected to be overcast for the most part of the day, not on the rainy side but on the partially clearer side with light winds towards the southwest on match time. There is minimal chance or no chance of rain in the entire duration of the match. Temperatures may peek at 31? C during the day and dip to a low of 29? C in the evening. Humidity is expected to hover around 60-70% and winds will be gusting at 15-20kmph speed.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/08/colombo.png" alt="AFG vs PAK 3rd ODI Weather Forecast, Rain Prediction, and Pitch Report of?R Premadasa Stadium,?Colombo | Afghanistan vs Pakistan 2023" class="wp-image-118310" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">AFG vs PAK 3rd ODI Weather Forecast, Rain Prediction (<a href="https://weather.com/en-IN/weather/hourbyhour/l/0a718df3f313b9b503468fc5d83fabf32db2a98f7376bbab34bf69361ef16336">weather.com</a>)</figcaption></figure>



The weather will be overcast right from the morning and might expect a few showers in the morning. The clouds are expected to hover overhead. The chances of rain are 6% around 03:00 PM and will remain below 6% for the rest of the day. Expecting a full 100-over game without any sort of interruption. The overcast conditions won?t have a significant impact but might influence the decision at the toss.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="afg-vs-pak-3rd-odi-pitch-report">AFG vs PAK 3rd ODI&nbsp;Pitch Report<a href="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/plugins/gumlet/assets/images/pixel.png"></a></h2>



The surface at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo is good for batting. However, pacers will get some help initially. The side batting first has had the most success in the 140 One Day Internationals played at the venue, with the wickets becoming more difficult to chase as the game proceeds. However, in the most recent games, the team chasing has won two of the previous three.



At this field, batting first results in an average score of 225. But in the past three games played there, the side batting first has achieved scores above 250. Even the teams in chase have twice crossed 250. Over the years, spinners have enjoyed bowling on this pitch the most, but even faster bowlers have taken wickets in recent games.

PAK vs AFG, 3rd ODI: Pakistan set target of 268 against Afghanistan in the 3rd ODI match

IND vs ENG 4th T20I: In a match that swung like a pendulum, both teams fought tooth and nail in a contest filled with twists and turns. India have defeated England in the 4th T20I by 15 runs and won the 17th T20I series in a row. 
India’s early collapse left them gasping for breath, but a remarkable fightback brought them back into the game, thanks to two key players. England, chasing a challenging target, seemed to be in control until a sudden shift changed the course of the match. With wickets falling in clusters, the momentum shifted again and again. As the final overs approached, it was anyone’s game. 
<h2>IND vs ENG 4th T20I Match Summary</h2>
For the first time in the series, Jos Buttler made the right call at the toss and opted to bowl first after winning the flip of the coin. They had two changes - Mahmood for Wood, and Bethell for Smith. Meanwhile, for India, Rinku Singh was fit and available so there were going to be some changes to the squad. Arshdeep came in place of Shami, Rinku came in for Jurel, and Shivam Dube came in for Washington Sundar. 
INDIA Playing11: Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakravarthy
ENGLAND Playing11: Philip Salt(w), Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler(c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood
<h2>India Innings- 181/9 (20 Overs)</h2>
The Indian innings began on a shaky note, as early wickets put the team under pressure. Sanju Samson, the opener, was dismissed cheaply for just 1 run, followed by Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav, who both fell for ducks in the same over. This was the first time Saqib Mahmood played against India in India and he made the most with three wickets in his first over. The scoreboard showed a fragile 12/3 after just 2 overs, leaving the middle order to rebuild.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679cfa1923a1e.jpg" alt="">
It was a daunting situation, but Abhishek Sharma rose to the occasion, playing a spirited knock. He added 29 runs, providing some stability before falling to Rashid. Despite the early collapse, Sharma’s contribution offered a glimmer of hope.
As wickets continued to fall, it was Rinku Singh who took charge next. His 30 runs came at a steady pace, keeping the innings afloat amid the tumbling wickets. However, with the loss of Rinku, Hardik Pandya stepped in and took charge. His aggressive knock of 53 off 30 balls injected much-needed momentum into the innings.
Pandya, known for his flair, played some brilliant shots, taking on the bowlers with confidence. But as he was dismissed at 166/6, the task of reaching a competitive total seemed daunting again.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679cfa1bcdc2f.jpg" alt="">
In the final overs, Shivam Dube kept the hopes alive, contributing another vital 53 runs. With his resilience and some decent contributions from the middle order, the Indian team recovered from the early collapse and put forth a competitive total of 182 runs.
The innings ended at 181/9, with the team left to reflect on a few crucial missed opportunities. The loss of wickets in quick succession early on severely hampered their progress, making it difficult to post a bigger total. The standout performances of Pandya and Dube were overshadowed by the fragility at the top, leaving India with a comparatively easier target to defend.
England Innings- 
England Started with Salt and Duckett and they just smashed all Indian bowlers to all parts of the ground in the first powerplay. Ben Duckett just went furious with an over 200 Strike rate in the first 6 overs losing his wicket on the last ball of the powerplay. Before that, he smashed 39 runs off just 18 balls. Phil Salt was equally aggressive, smoking four boundaries in the powerplay but fell against Axar Patel in the very next over after the powerplay.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679cfa1641ee7.jpg" alt="">
Buttler went back soon in the 8th over and India were back in the game in the span of just 10 balls after the powerplay. Livingstone and Brook played out the tough session and the pressure started to build. Harshit Rana, the concussion substitute in for Shivam Dube got Liam Livingstone in the second ball of his first over. 
Harry Brook took the charge and started the counterattack. He took Harshit Rana on for 18 runs in the 14th over but couldn't do it for long as Varun Chakravarthy got him just after the completion of his half-century. England were in all sorts of trouble as Bryden Carse also lost his wicket in the same over. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679d0182c8c49.jpg" alt="">
Harshit Rana again struck in his third over and took Bethell out of the game. Soon, Bishnoi got Archer and England were 8 down for 146 runs. They still needed 36 runs off 18 balls. Harshit bowled a tight 19th over and it was all over for England in the last over when Arshdeep Singh got Saqib Mahmood and England were bowled out for 166 runs. The picture was looking pretty clear after the 18th over and Harshit Rana made it obvious that India wins the series.
INDIA won the match by 15 runs

India's stunning recovery from 12/3 to post 181/9 was enough to defend against England, who fell short at 166, losing by 15 runs. Harshit Rana, the debutant rose to the moment and India won a thriller.

India fought back brilliantly after early setbacks, while England's chase crumbled under pressure from spinners, handing India a narrow victory.

Jasprit Bumrah will be receiving the prestigious award because of his exceptional performance with the ball in 2024. He was Player of the Tournament in the T20 World Cup 2024, where he picked up 15 wickets, and also was the leading wicket-taker in Tests with 71 wickets to his name. 
Another holder of the major award will be India Women's cricketer Smriti Mandhana, who will be getting the BCCI's Women's Cricketer of the Year award. The opening batter was at her best with the bat as she mustered over 700 runs in ODIs in 2024 and was the leading run-getter for the team. 
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) also will be honouring Ravichandran Ashwin with a special award. The off-spinner recently retired from international cricket and ended his career as one of the best players for the India Cricket Team. 
The best debut of the year award will be going to India batter Sarfaraz Khan for his heroics in his maiden game for India. He played his first match against England in the Test series and slammed a terrific half-century, and following that, he has been a consistent member of the team. Batting great Sachin Tendulkar will be presented with the lifetime achievement award for his contributions.

Revealed - Full list of award winners at the BCCI annual awards; Jasprit Bumrah to get major honour, no reward for Rohit, Kohli

Former India wicket-keeper batter Dinesh Karthik is having a great time in the ongoing SA20 2025 for the Paarl Royals. The wicketkeeper batter played his best innings in the tournament on Thursday (30th January) against Joburg Super Kings at The Wanderers Stadium, in Johannesburg. 
Dinesh Karthik had a great outing with the bat for his team and helped his team post a fighting total on the board. The keeper-batter slammed a magnificent half-century and entertained the crowd both in South Africa as well as back home in India with his power-hitting. 
The highlight of Dinesh Karthik's innings was the three sixes that he hit on three balls against Wihan Lubbe in Paarl Royals' 13th over. He hit the first six on a free hit as he went down on the knees and hit a slog sweep into the deep mid-wicket stands for a massive six. 
On the next ball, Lubbe bowled a short ball, which Dinesh Karthik made full use of. He pulled the ball over deep square leg for his second consecutive six and put the spinner under pressure. Then on the next ball, the keeper-batter again was on his knees and played a slog sweep, which went over mid-wicket into the crowd. 
You can see the video at the end of the article: 
Dinesh Karthik played a sensational innings of 53 runs off 39 balls. He batted with a strike rate of over 135 and also slammed 4 fours and 3 sixes in his innings. Thanks to his effort with the bat, Paarl Royals posted a fighting total of 150 runs on the board. 
His effort, however, went in vain as Joburg Super Kings chased the target with 7 wickets in hand. Faf du Plessis was the star with the bat for his team as he played an innings of 87 runs off 55 balls. He batted with a strike rate of 158 and slammed 4 fours and 7 sixes to take his team home.
