Online Cricket Betting has become a new fad for all teenagers and even some avid followers of the game. For years now, betting has been an integral part of the game. Some people do it for fun and entertainment while others for earning big bucks in a short period. &nbsp;However, if we look closely, online betting and prediction is nothing more than a tactical masterstroke. It involves a lot of aspects, right from effective stats observation to reading the game. Knowledge of the game and game sense can also play an integral part in prediction. So, what are the <a href="https://www.quora.com/Could-you-teach-me-some-tips-or-share-your-tips-on-betting-I-ve-lost-a-lot-of-money" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.quora.com/Could-you-teach-me-some-tips-or-share-your-tips-on-betting-I-ve-lost-a-lot-of-money" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">best tips for betting</a> and predicting? Here is an in-depth look:&nbsp;



<h2>Reading and Observation of Stats can Help in Online Cricket Betting:&nbsp;</h2>



Until recently, strategic decisions were mostly made based on gut feel or following past traditions. However, sports analytics and statistics are game-changers when it comes to professional games. Websites like?<a href="https://www.bestbettingsites.com/india/cricket/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">bestbettingsites.com/india/cricket/</a>?often list the best cricket betting options in India, where you can find the odds of every game. These odds are based on extensive analyses, made by experts in the fields.



The observation of the stats of a player plays a big part in prediction. We can certainly say after some time whether a player will do well or not. With the help of the following example of <a href="https://crictips.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">online cricket betting tips</a>. Virat Kohli is expected to perform well in at least one of the four games, so we must pick him in our fantasy 11 accordingly. &nbsp;



If we are predicting a new player, such as an uncapped player in the IPL, we can have a look at his or her domestic cricket records. Rajat Patidar is one player who has an exceptional domestic record. So, the ones who picked Rajat Patidar in the qualifier had already researched about his domestic stats. &nbsp;



<h2>Game Situation can help in Predicting:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/06/Virat-Kohli-min-1-1024x575.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-91236"/><figcaption>Predicting the top performance of Virat Kohli in a run-chase is always safe as he deals very well with such situations. IMG SRC: TOI.</figcaption></figure>



One cannot always rely on statistics to make predictions. The game situation is also very important. If there is a big run-chase going on and we pick a bowler in our team, it makes very little sense. In such cases, we will have to select amazing run-chasers such as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AB_de_Villiers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AB De Villiers</a>, MS Dhoni, or any other proven match-winner like Rishabh Pant. So, the game situation also plays a big part. &nbsp;



<h2>Knowledge about the Venue, Pitch, and Teams:&nbsp;</h2>



<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket_pitch" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Knowledge about the pitch</a> can also prove very handy. Say, for example, if the match is going on at the Gabba, a pitch that helps the fast bowlers a lot! Then the team must be chosen accordingly, and the bets must be made accordingly. If it is at Madras, the spinners must be the ones to rely on. So, effective knowledge about the pitch can be very helpful. Also, gloomy weather helps the swing bowlers, whereas a dry, sunny pitch is something that the batters love. Considering these factors, effective predictions can be made. &nbsp;



<h2>The current Form of a Player will also play a big part in Online Cricket Betting:&nbsp;</h2>



The current form of a player plays a big part in predicting. Virat Kohli was recently having a dull IPL. Kane Williamson was also. The same was the case with Rohit Sharma. Players like Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and others looked in great touch. So, one can consider the current form of a player and can make a prediction. &nbsp;

The Top 5 Crypto Betting Sites for Huge Wins

the-top-5-crypto-betting-sites-for-huge-wins

India vs Sri Lanka 2023: In the year 2022, India played 40 T20Is. Never before had they played more than 21 in a calendar year. Much like them, Sri Lanka too played more T20Is in 2022 than they ever had in a year. 



At this point, it is stating the obvious: T20 is the fastest-growing format of the game. However, what people sometimes fail to understand is that it is also the fastest-evolving format of the game. T20 cricket in 2017 was very different to what it is in 2023. On the outside, it might look the same; the rules have hardly changed. But strategically, it has metamorphosed. Anchor batters have become redundant, teams do not want grafters in the middle overs anymore and batting &amp; bowling orders today depend on "player-match-ups".



"Player-match-ups" or "batter-vs-bowler-match-ups" have always existed in cricket. But they have a much-amplified significance in the modern T20s. For instance, promoting a left-hander in the order to counter the opposition's spinners <a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/ind-vs-pak-asia-cup-2022-ravindra-jadeja-at-four-forced-pakistan-plans-to-change-and-ultimately-probably-cost-them-1331353">can be a match-defining move</a>. So often, we've seen the fielding captain start with a spinner just because the opener seems to have a better record against pace. Many times overs of certain bowlers are held back for a specific batter.



It goes without saying that 'player match-ups' would once again be at the fulcrum of strategies as India and Sri Lanka kick off 2023 with a T20I series. Here's a look at some major match-ups you should keep an eye on:-



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#1-sanju-samson-vs-wanindu-hasaranga">1.

</figure>



<h2 id="1-sanju-samson-vs-wanindu-hasaranga">1. Sanju Samson vs Wanindu Hasaranga</h2>



With <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/rishabh-pant-set-to-miss-australia-test-series-ipl-2023-reports/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rishabh Pant likely to be unavailable for an extended period</a>, Sanju Samson will have his opportunity cut out to stake a claim for an extended run in the team; at least for the T20Is. He, however, would have to turn heads with noteworthy performances as India already have Ishan Kishan too in the squad.



In Samson's path stands his arch-nemesis Wanindu Hasaranga. 



Having ended up being the highest wicket-taker in the last two consecutive T20 World Cups, Hasaranga's prowess in the format doesn't need an introduction. For his record against Samson in particular, the word "domination" even might sound like an understatement. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://assets.bcci.tv/bcci/photos/494/27f66f7c-f2ee-4733-8a12-a372ce0151b4.jpg" alt="Hasaranga dismissing Samson in the IPL Playoffs"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">India vs Sri Lanka 2023 T20I Series: Wanindu Hasaranga vs Sanju Samson is going to be one of the key battles. (Image Source: <a href="https://www.iplt20.com/match/2022/494">IPLT20.com</a></figcaption></figure>



The two have faced each other 5 times in T20 matches. Hasaranga has got Samson out all 5 times. In fact, the explosive batter has a miserable strike rate of 73.5 against the leg-spinner. Samson averages 5 against him and three out of every four balls Hasaranga bowls to him are dot balls.



<h2 id="2-dasun-shanaka-vs-yuzvendra-chahal">2. Dasun Shanaka vs Yuzvendra Chahal</h2>



He wears 7 on his back, captains with a calm head and has the ability to finish off games. Fans have often compared Dasun Shanaka to MS Dhoni. 



The last time he was in India, he scored a 38-ball-74 after coming into bat with his team 29-4. A few months later, he helped Sri Lanka complete an unlikely victory against Australia. 



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/WisdenCricket/status/1535668604624150529?s=20&amp;t=dDpdF8rLoYrjLL7X6H-VNw
</div></figure>



Shanaka has made over 25% of his T20I runs against India. Having scored runs at a strike rate of 169.33 for the entire season of the Lanka Premier League, he comes into this series with some form behind him. Although he has always found it tough against leg-spinners.



In his international career, Shanaka has been dismissed by leg spin 27 times and averages a meagre 14.41 against it. As a matter of fact, his otherwise handsome-looking strike rate of 141.45 in T20 cricket overall plummets to 110.19 against wrist spin. In other words, it would be wise to hold an over or two of Yuzvendra Chahal for Shanaka. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://img1.hscicdn.com/image/upload/f_auto,t_ds_w_960,q_50/lsci/db/PICTURES/CMS/324600/324660.jpg" alt="Image of Shanaka getting bowled by Yuzvendra Chahal in 2021"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Dasun Shanaka is bowled by Yuzvendra Chahal in 2021. (Image Source: <a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/india-tour-of-sri-lanka-2021-1262739/photo">ESPNCricinfo</a>)</figcaption></figure>



<h2 id="3-charith-asalanka-vs-axar-patel">3. Charith Asalanka vs Axar Patel</h2>



With Gunathilaka not in the team anymore and Rajapaksa poised for a finishing role, Asalanka is the sole left-hander in the top 4. And he is indeed a very good one. On sluggish tracks in the U.A.E., Asalanka was Sri Lanka's top scorer in the 2021 T20WC, averaging 46 and scoring at a strike rate of 147. 



He would be crucial in defusing one of India's potent weapons: Axar Patel. Axar looked a league above everyone else last time India played a T20I series at home. He was, in fact, <a href="https://hindi.icccricketschedule.com/cricket/news/axar-patel-became-player-of-the-series-in-the-series-against-australia/">the player of the series</a>. Expect Sri Lanka to promote Asalanka in the order to counter Axar. 



The two have, interestingly, never faced off in white ball cricket. They have in the longer format though. Axar has dismissed Asalanka twice and has never conceded a run to him in Test Cricket.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://img1.hscicdn.com/image/upload/f_auto,t_ds_w_960,q_50/lsci/db/PICTURES/CMS/335800/335857.jpg" alt="Axar Patel vs Charith Asalanka"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Axar Patel has bowled 16 balls to Asalanka in Test Cricket getting him out twice.

<h2 id="4-avishka-fernando-vs-arshdeep-singh">4. Avishka Fernando vs Arshdeep Singh</h2>



Avishka Fernando was considered a batting prodigy. Selectors were so impressed with his U-19 exploits that they handed him an international debut against Australia before he had even played a single First Class or List A match. Fernando had his moments - scored 3 centuries and 5 fifties in ODIs - but looked a little undercooked at times. Hence, he was eventually dropped. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://img1.hscicdn.com/image/upload/f_auto,t_ds_w_1280,q_80/lsci/db/PICTURES/CMS/324800/324838.jpg" alt="Avishka Fernando"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Avishka Fernando was considered a batting prodigy. Image Source: <a href="http://espncricinfo.com/series/india-tour-of-sri-lanka-2021-1262739/photo">ESPNCricinfo</a></figcaption></figure>



He's had an excellent season in the Lanka Premier League where he ended up as the top scorer. If he plays, a match-up between him and Arshdeep Singh will be a tantalising one to watch out for. The Indian left-arm pacer has shown the ability to swing the new ball and take wickets up front. 



Interestingly, Avishka has a fabulous record in franchise cricket where he scores at an average of 62.3 and a strike rate of 147.1 against left-arm pace. However, the same numbers plummet drastically in international cricket. He's been dismissed 11 times by southpaw seamers and averages a miserable 14.45 while scoring at less than a run a ball.

India vs Sri Lanka 2023: Important Player-Match-ups to watch out for

india-vs-sri-lanka-2023-important-player-match-ups-to-watch-out-for

IPL 2023: The IPL was started by the BCCI years ago, after the initiation of the shortest format of the game in 2006. The IPL was first played in 2008, when it was declared to be the most highly recognized international platform for an elated group of players who were heavily paid for their playing roles for several franchises in the IPL.&nbsp;



But the primary idea was to introduce domestic talents to international giants, give them better preparatory conditions, and assess their talent and caliber before selecting them for the national side. Many Indian talents have been recognized as severe world-class talents after being picked for the national side owing to their brilliance in the IPL amidst several international giants and veteran cricketers.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Let's take a look at IPL 2023's best playing 11 with the most formidable uncapped players from all teams:&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Opening Pair: Abhishek Sharma and Yash Dhull</h2>



When it comes to opening, especially with uncapped players, who can be a better pick than Abhishek Sharma? The Delhi boy showed his brilliance after his move to SRH in 2021, though he came into the limelight after being promoted up the order to play the vital role of an opening batsman. With his finesse and unique talent graph, Abhishek can be said to be India's most enthusiastic uncapped player.&nbsp;



Abhishek would make a stunning pair with the Mumbai boy Dhull, who has already outclassed several players in the domestic tournaments of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Though Dhull might be seen making his IPL debut this year, he has already received huge acclaim from legends like Ponting, who have recognized him as one of the most futuristic talents and a probable asset to Indian cricket.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Middle-Order Batters: Tilak Verma, Rajat Patidar, Dewald Brevis and Jitesh Sharma</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/04/Rajat-Patidar.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-106191" width="1038" height="611"/></figure>



This bunch does not comprise only young talents but also immensely experienced batters like Rajat Patidar and the explosive right-handed batsman Jitesh Sharma. Tilak has been a young sprout with several sensational performances in the IPL while playing for MI in 2022, and he he came to the limelight in that very year. Tilak has emerged as a complete T20 batter in the IPL.&nbsp;



A player of equal calibre is Rajat Patidar, who has proven his proficiency in the IPL by playing for RCB in 2022. At times when even the greatest of T20 players in the RCB lineup failed to impress, he stood up with resilient performances and became the torchbearer for the Challengers' batting innings.&nbsp;



<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewald_Brevis">Dewald Brevis</a> is the only overseas player in the lineup and has impressed cricket fans around the world. Brevis showed his capturing performance playing for several franchises across the world and has established himself as a high-end versatile cricketer, especially in the shorter format of the game. He also showed some terrific performances playing for MI and is an efficient quick scorer in the game.&nbsp;



Last but not least, the middle order also comprises the explosive wicketkeeper-batsman, Jitesh, who recently got India calls but could not earn his first Indian cap. The PBKS batter is one of the most reliable and best suited for the shortest format.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">All-Rounders: Riyan Parag</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/04/Riyan-parag_11zon-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-106192"/></figure>



Coming from the far east of India, Parag excelled with both the bat and the ball in all domestic limited-overs tournaments, both in the 20-over and 50-over formats, often leading his team to the maximum number of positions. Though uncapped as of yet, he has all the makings of one of the most effective players in IPL 2023. 



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bowlers: Mukesh Kumar, Mohsin Khan, Yash Dayal and R.Sai Kishore</h2>



There's not much to say about these players, as they also form one of the most essential portions of a team. Mukesh excelled with his bowling efforts and even earned a team India call. Mohsin and Yash Dayal were the most prolific players in last year's IPL, as both of them are naturally angled left-arm pacers who are capable of bowling beamers and often trouble the batters. The only spinner in this IPL 2023 squad is, however, the economical Sai Kishore, who is the only spinner featuring due to his unique bowling strategies in the shorter format.&nbsp;

Fantasy Cricket tips: Over the years, fantasy sports have been a source of great excitement for cricket fans all over the world. The overall joy of the sport is enhanced to a great extent for all cricket lovers thanks to the suspense and thrill added to each and every match.&nbsp;



Several cricket lovers get the chance to put their knowledge of the game to the test and create teams on their own. This lets us then find out their abilities in terms of predicting the top performers in a certain game. It's due to the amazing aspects of fantasy sports that it has achieved such widespread approval from so many cricket lovers in such a short period of time.&nbsp;



Adding players to their own teams during cricket matches and watching them perform well to earn points has become a must for die-hard cricket fans all across the nation. In this article we shall be discussing the top 5 points that one must consider while creating his/her own fantasy cricket team and <a href="https://www.cricketbettingadvice.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cricket betting</a> tips:-



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Captain Selection</h2>



It's highly important for one to choose his or her team's captain wisely since it is the player whose points will be counted as double of the original number in fantasy cricket. The player who is selected as the captain must be in fine recent form and must have the ability to earn points for the team in any circumstance so as to maximize the benefits for the team. Captain scoring fewer points would result in an overall decline in the team's performance for sure.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Select a well balanced team&nbsp;</h2>



It's also important to select a well-balanced team in fantasy cricket, i.e., one that has a fair amount of players from both the bowling and batting departments. In case the batters fail to have a major impact, the bowlers might come to the team's rescue by securing crucial points, and vice versa. Hence, having players to fit in each of the roles on the team is quite necessary.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/04/WhatsApp-Image-2023-04-17-at-3.57.41-PM-1024x683.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-109211"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: Pexels.com</figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Check match statistics and pitch report&nbsp;</h2>



Checking the statistics of the matches in the recent past is highly important in fantasy cricket. This is because it gives the person a fair idea as to what kind of team he'll need to build for the match. Also, the pitch report plays a crucial role because it provides important information that helps predict whether it's going to be helpful for the batters or the bowlers.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Current form of players</h2>



The current form of players is important, as it lets the person know whether a certain player will be effective and deserves a place in the team or not. Players who haven't been performing at their best in the recent past might not be useful to the team, and they should be left out of the XI.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. Check the odds properly</h2>



Odds refers to the likelihood of a particular event occurring in the future. The odds in favor of players performing in the upcoming match are a highly important factor as it tells the fantasy cricket players of the possibility of a handful of players who are going to drop good performances in the game. Such information prior to the game might be priceless and would add a lot of value to the team in terms of points.&nbsp;

Top 5 points to consider for fantasy cricket and betting tips for IPL matches to win big

top-5-points-to-consider-for-fantasy-cricket-and-betting-tips-for-ipl-matches-to-win-big

Australia's quest for a record-extending sixth Cricket World Cup title faces an unexpected obstacle ? not from their opponents, but from the looming threat of adverse weather conditions in the sub-continent. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a warning about a developing cyclonic circulation in the south Andaman Sea, originating from the Gulf of Thailand that is set to hit the shores of India in midweek.



The semi-final clash between South Hemisphere rivals The Proteas and The Aussies is scheduled to take place at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Thursday morning. However, the cyclonic conditions are expected to develop in the lead-up to the much-anticipated clash and have raised concerns about the impact of the weather system on this blockbuster World Cup encounter. The current forecast indicates a 60% chance of rain on Thursday, but perhaps more worryingly, this is expected to increase further to 90% on Friday.



As it stands, the ICC have set Friday aside as a reserve day in the event the match is washed out the day before. However, if rain disrupts the match on Thursday, Friday is unlikely to be any better, with conditions expected to worsen at the end of the week. If a result cannot be recorded in the match, South Africa will advance to the finals due to their superior net run during the group stage. As it stands, Australia are the current favourites according to the most updated odds by the bookmakers, and cricket lovers can keep on top of all the developments leading up to the semi-finals, as well as the final, thanks to the <a href="https://www.sportytrader.com/en/betting-sites/">best 2024 approved betting sites by Sportytrader</a>. You will also be able to keep up to date with ball-by-ball live coverage and expert predictions for all the upcoming cricket action leading up to the New Year, including England?s tour to the West Indies, the Big Bash League and the SA20, 2024.



The IMD further reports that a low-pressure system is expected to form over the southeast Bay of Bengal by Tuesday, and the latest IMD-GFS model forecasts the formation of a cyclone by November 15, with North Odisha and West Bengal potentially in its path. As a result, the match in Kolkata?s iconic Eden Gardens on November 16 faces a significant risk of being washed out.



South Africa, therefore, could find themselves on the cusp of history this week as they aim for their first-ever Cricket World Cup final appearance. The Proteas have faced heartbreak in the semi-finals on four previous occasions, ironically including rain denying them a chance to chase down England's total in 1992 while they lost to Australia in 1999 and 2007. The match's reserve day on November 17 provides a potential backup option if the game is not played on the scheduled date, while the Duckworth-Lewis method will be utilised to determine the winner if there is sufficient play on either day. In the event of both semi-finals facing washouts, teams advancing to the final will be decided based on their higher standing in the group stage points table.

The wait for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be over. The tournament will begin on 19th February, and the final will take place on 9th March. The India team, no doubt, will be one of the hot favourites to win the tournament, which will be played in a hybrid model. 
India will be playing all their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 games in Dubai. The Rohit Sharma-led side will be beginning their campaign against Bangladesh on 20th February, and, after that, will be playing Pakistan on 23rd February, followed by New Zealand on 2nd March. 
The departure date of India for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 also has been revealed. As per the reports in Times of India, it is learned that the Rohit Sharma-led side will be travelling to Dubai on 15th February. The reports added that more clarity on the same will come in the coming days. 
<h2>India won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Not only this, it is learned that India also won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because all the teams will be in Pakistan, and hence, it will be difficult for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to arrange the warmup match. 
The reports added that India team management is happy with the net session ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because they will be playing the three-match ODI series against England, which will begin on 6th February across three venues in India. 
Apart from this, it is reported that the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 won't be having a captain photoshoot because of the different challenges along with the different arrivals of the team. This means that Rohit Sharma won't be travelling to Pakistan for this and will be staying in Dubai with the team. 
The opening ceremony of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in Lahore. There were talks of having the event in Karachi but the Pakistan Cricket Board decided to host it in Lahore.

India batter Shubman Gill has started his preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The premier batter has returned to nets for the white-ball practice as he was named in the Indian team for the ODI series against England and the ICC tournament. 
Shubman Gill has been under a lot of pressure for his poor outings with the bat, especially in Test cricket. With the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who delivered consistent performances, there were a lot of questions about the place of Gill, even in the ODIs. 
Several fans and experts also have backed Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 along with Rohit Sharma. However, amid all this Shubman Gill is making sure that he gives his best to train for the tournament. 
With England ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner, Shubman Gill was seen batting in the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. He was seen batting with the white-ball ahead of the tournament and the video can be seen at the end of the article. 
Shubman Gill looked in golden touch with the bat as he played a pull towards the four before blocking the balls. The batter would be eager to make a strong comeback and reply to all the criticism in style with his performances in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Shubman Gill recently played the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Punjab. The batter was the lone warrior for his team as he hit a magnificent century and returned to form after having a poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where he played just three games. 
Shubman Gill would want to carry on his form and help a team win. He has been one of the best batters for India in ODIs. He also has been named as the vice-captain of the team for the tournament and with added responsibility under his belt, a lot will be reliant on him.

Pakistan batter Babar Azam has been in the news for the last few days, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner. The batter's name has been discussed a lot related to making him open, especially with no clarity over Saim Ayub. 
Pakistan is the only team that has yet to announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Since the last few days, he has been in the news as there have been a lot of reports that have suggested that there are chances that he might open the innings for the team. 
However, the fresh reports in Cricket Pakistan have revealed that there are no plans to make Babar Azam open the innings. The reports added that the selection committee has not given the green signal to the development as they feel that batter will be best suited in the middle order. 
<h2>Selectors want a proper opener in the role; Babar Azam to at in middle-order</h2>
The reports claimed that selectors want a proper opener in the role. One of the openers that has been finalized by the management is Fakhar Zaman. However, with Saim Ayub likely to miss out, it is learned that Imam-ul-Haq is also in contention to take the role. 
Babar Azam has been the best batter for Pakistan in ODIs. The batter has mustered truckloads of runs for the team in the format while batting at No.3 and he will be extremely crucial for his team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in Pakistan with India games to be played in India. 
Babar Azam also has been a decent opener as well. He has been opening for the team in T20Is and has achieved massive success as well. He also opened in Test cricket during the recent South Africa series and aced that challenge as well, slamming two half-centuries in two innings. 
But, in white-ball cricket, Babar Azam has been criticised a lot for opening in T20Is. This is because he has failed to maximise the powerplay and has been batting with a low strike rate. It remains to be seen where he will be batting for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate has provided a massive fitness update about batter Rinku Singh ahead of the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. He mentioned that the left-hander has gained full fitness and will be playing the next match of the five-match T20I series. 
India and England are all set to lock horns with each other in the fourth match of the T20I series. The game is all set to be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Thursday (30th January). The series is currently at 2-1, with hosts in the lead. 
India has been without the services of Rinku Singh for the last two games of the IND vs ENG series. The left-hander sustained a low back spasm while fielding in the first game and was then ruled out of the next two games of the series as he was under the observation of the BCCI medical team. 
In his place, the India team added Dhruv Jurel to the XI, and the move didn't pay off. The keeper-batter batted lower down the order and struggled to get going in both games, and it potentially cost them the last match of the series. 
<h2>Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow - Ryan Ten Doeschate</h2>
However, in what will be a massive boost, Rinku Singh has been declared fit for the next two games. The development was confirmed by assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate, who said that the batter hit nets and will be playing. He told reporters. 
"Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow. He batted yesterday night" 
Rinku Singh has been India's one of the best batters in the T20Is. His absence was felt in the last two games as well, but now, with him being fit, it is expected that he would walk straight into the XI and is likely to add Dhruv Jurel to the team. 
The fourth IND vs ENG T20I will be a great opportunity for India to to seal the series, but they need to make some corrections before heading into the next IND vs ENG match. 
India faced a disappointing 26-run loss in the last match at Rajkot. Their batting was one of the main reasons behind the loss and they would be hoping to make a strong comeback.
