ICC U19 World Cup 2024: The ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup witnessed three encounters on Friday, February 2: India U19 vs Nepal U19, Australia U19 vs West Indies U19, and South Africa U19 vs Sri Lanka U19. Down below this article cover ICC U19 World Cup 2024 Points Table Super 6 Updated after India vs Bangladesh



India secured a commanding 132-run victory over Nepal, successfully defending a target of 170 runs. Opting to bat first, the Uday Sharan-led team had a decent start, with openers Arshin Kulkarni (18 runs in 30 balls) and Adarsh Singh (21 runs in 18 balls) forming an initial partnership of 26 runs. However, the latter was dismissed by Nepali right-arm pacer Gulsan Jha in the fifth over of the Indian innings.



Following Adarsh Singh's dismissal, Priyanshu Moliya (19 runs in 36 balls) joined Arshin Kulkarni at the crease, and they built a partnership of 32 runs for the second wicket. Unfortunately, their collaboration ended when Priyanshu got run out off the bowling of Aakash Chand in the 14th over. Aakash Chand also claimed the wicket of Arshin Kulkarni on the final ball of the 14th over, as Arshin nicked the ball behind into the gloves of Nepali wicketkeeper Uttam Magar as Nepal restricted India to 62-3 in 14 overs.



However, it took Nepal 33 more overs to secure another breakthrough as the partnership between Sachin Dhas and Captain Uday Sharan dominated the game. Sachin Dhas played the role of the aggressor in their 215-run partnership, smashing 116 runs in 101 balls at a strike rate of 114.85. After Sachin's dismissal, Captain Uday Sharan continued to lead from the front, contributing 100 runs in 107 balls as the Boys in Blue concluded their innings with a total score of 297 runs in 50 overs.

In response, Nepal's Under-19 team had a promising start with a 48-run opening partnership between Deepak Bohara (22 runs in 42 balls) and Arjun Kamal (26 runs in 64 balls). However, the dismissal of both batters by Raj Limbani (1-25) and left-arm spinner Saumy Pandey (4-29) triggered a collapse in Nepal's batting unit. They concluded the game with a score of 165 runs for the loss of nine wickets in their allotted 50 overs, leading to the Boys in Blue winning the match by 132 runs.



Nepal's pace bowler Gulsan Jha (3-56), Indian spinner Saumy Pandey (4-29), and medium-pacer Arshin Kulkarni (2-18) emerged as the standout bowlers in the match.



The match between Australia U19 and West Indies U19 ended up getting washed out due to the interruption of rain, while South Africa defeated Sri Lanka by a margin of 119 runs.



In Group 1 of the Super Six, Defending Champions India U19 have shown some really dominant performances as they have managed to win all their two Super Six games against Nepal and New Zealand, while they also won all three of their group stage matches against the likes of Bangladesh, the USA, and Ireland. Therefore, the boys in blue are at the top of their Super Six group with 8 points in four matches and an excellent run rate of +3.155. The Uday Saharan-led team is also the first team from Group 1 to qualify for the semi-finals of the 2024 U19 World Cup.



Arch-rivals Pakistan are not that far behind with six points, as they are on an unbeaten run as well, having won three out of three matches, but with a less impressive run rate of +1.064. Bangladesh U19 advanced to third place after beating Nepal, with four points from three games and a net run rate of +0.348.



New Zealand U19's lone victory over Nepal gained two points for their team and a -1.915 net run rate. Ireland U19 are at number five in the points table with zero victories in three games, and Nepal have remained winless in all four matches and are at number 6 in the overall standings.

ICC U19 World Cup Semifinal: In what promises to be a thrilling fixture, defending champions India U19 and South Africa U19 are all set to lock horns against each other in the first semi-final match of the U19 ODI World Cup, scheduled to take place on the 6th of February at Willowmoore Park in Benoni. The match is set to commence at 1:30 p.m. IST.

India have been on a winning streak since the start of the group stage games, as they won all three group stage matches against Bangladesh, the USA, and Ireland. Even in the Super Six, the Boys in Blue won comfortably against the likes of New Zealand and Nepal. In their previous encounter against Nepal, the Uday Saharan-led teams defeated Nepal by 132 runs, effectively defending a goal of 170. Opting to bat first, the Indians got off to a good start, with openers Arshin Kulkarni (18 runs in 30 balls) and Adarsh Singh (21 runs in 18 balls) combining for 26 runs. However, Gulsan Jha, the Nepali right-arm pacer, removed the latter in the fifth over of the Indian innings.



Following Adarsh Singh's departure, Priyanshu Moliya (19 runs in 36 balls) joined Arshin Kulkarni at the crease, and they formed a 32-run partnership for the second wicket. Unfortunately, their teamwork ended when Priyanshu was run out off Aakash Chand's bowling in the 14th over. Aakash Chand also took Arshin Kulkarni's wicket on the penultimate delivery of the 14th over, when Arshin nicked the ball behind into Nepali wicketkeeper Uttam Magar's gloves, limiting India to 62-3 in 14 overs.

Following Sachin's dismissal, Indian skipper Uday Sharan continued to lead from the front, scoring 100 runs in 107 balls as the Boys in Blue finished their innings with 297 runs in 50 overs.



In response, Nepal?s Under-19 team had a promising start with a 48-run opening partnership between Deepak Bohara (22 runs in 42 balls) and Arjun Kamal (26 runs in 64 balls). However, the dismissal of both batters by Raj Limbani (1-25) and left-arm spinner Saumy Pandey (4-29) triggered a collapse in Nepal?s batting unit.

Nepal?s pace bowler Gulsan Jha (3-56), Indian spinner Saumy Pandey (4-29), and medium-pacer Arshin Kulkarni (2-18) emerged as the standout bowlers in the match.



South Africa U19, on the other hand, had a decent group stage as they won comfortably against the West Indies and Scotland, but they were defeated by England in their second group stage match. Heading into the Super Six, the Proteas displayed tremendous form as they secured commanding victories against the likes of Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka. Against Sri Lanka U19, the Proteas batting unit managed to put a decent total of 232 runs on the boards thanks to the brilliant batting display of Lhuan-Dre Pretorius (71 runs in 77 balls) and good contributions from Riley Norton (41 runs in 69 balls) and Romashan Pillay (27 runs in 53 balls).



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/South-Africa-U19-2.jpg" alt="South Africa U19" class="wp-image-126155" /></figure>



In reply, Sri Lanka suffered a top-order collapse as openers Pullindu Perera (0 runs), Sineth Jayawardena (6 runs in 13 balls), and Supun Waduge (0 runs) were sent back to the pavilion inside the first five overs of the Sri Lanka innings by fast bowler Kwena Maphaka (6-21 runs).



The middle order tried to stabilise things a bit with some decent run contributions by Dinura Kalupahana (19 runs in 24 balls), Hirun Kapurubandara (16 runs in 16 balls), and Sharujan Shanmuganathan (29 runs in 32 balls), but all three of them were dismissed by Maphaka and Riley Norton (4-28). Eventually, the Proteas inflicted an all-out on Sri Lanka as the Island Nation team was all out for 113 runs, and South Africa won the match by 119 runs.



India U19 would be looking to continue their unbeaten run and dominance with a win against South Africa, while the Proteas would like to crush the Boys in Blue?s hopes of qualifying for another U19 World Cup Final.

The pitch at Benoni?s Willowmoore Park is expected to be a batting surface, which would provide an adequate amount of help to the Fast Bowlers. Batsmen from both teams will enjoy batting at this ground since the ball comes on to the bat easily, and the boundaries of this stadium are pretty small as well, allowing the batters to play big shots fearlessly.



The Seamers will have to hit the deck hard and bowl with discipline if they want to get the better of the batters. By hitting the deck hard, seamers will extract bounce from the surface, which might trouble the opposing batters. Spinners are expected to come into play in the later half of the game.

ICC U19 World Cup 2024:?<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/india/">India</a>?U19 have successfully qualified for the ICC U19 World Cup 2024 FINAL after a dramatic match. India U19 defeated the home team South Africa U19 in semifinal 1 and became the first team in the ongoing tournament to officially qualify for the U19 World Cup final.

What a match! This is what happens when the two quality sides clash in a vital contest for a vital purpose. India U19 won the match in the end by 2 wickets but the match was hanging in balance throughout. An exceptional comeback of India from where they were in the first 12 overs. South Africa were losing it but back-to-back wickets towards the end revived them a little but it was India, who won the game.



Brilliant knock of 96 by Sachin Dhas and 81 by Uday Saharan ensured India's ticket to yet another final of the U19 World Cup. India are now the first finalists of the tournament and they will play the winner of Australia U19 vs Pakistan U19 (semifinal 2) in the finals of the tournament.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="india-u-19-vs-south-africa-u-19-match-summary">India U19 vs South Africa U19: Match Summary</h2>



India won the toss and invited the home team to bat first. It just took 17 balls from Limbani to give India a happy start at the top and remove the aggressive Steve Stolk. Soon he took David Teeger on a Duck. The wicketkeeper-batter Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Richard Seletswane weaved a 70-odd runs partnership and Musheer Khan broke the partnership by dismissing Pretorius playing at 73 runs.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/India-U19.jpg" alt="U19 World Cup, India U19 vs Nepal U19 Match Details, Squad and Live Streaming Details | U19 World Cup Super Six" class="wp-image-126002" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">India U19</figcaption></figure>



Oliver Whitehead charged at Musheer Khan but ended up being his second scalp. Richard was looking good but watching wickets falling at the other end put him under pressure and Naman Tiwari finally ended his fabulous innings at 64 runs. Cameos from skipper James and Tristan Luus helped South Africa to reach a par score of 244 runs in 50 overs.



India U19 needed 245 runs in 300 balls and they got the worst possible start at the top as the in-form opener Adarsh Singh went back to the pavilion on the very first ball of the innings. India's highest run scorer in the tournament Musheer Khan, Kulkarni and Priyanshy Moliya were knocked out by exceptional bowling performances by Tristan Luus and were 4 down in just 32 runs in a chase of 245.



Again, the saviors from the last match, i.e., skipper Uday Saharan and Sachin Dhas came to the rescue. They both first relaxed down the pressure and then unleashed the counterattack. They together added 180 runs for the 5th wicket where Sachin Dhas played the anchor role and smacked 96 runs in 95 balls. He missed his century by just 4 runs and fell prey to Kwena Maphaka.

India U19 still needed 45 runs off 8 overs. Uday was watchful at the other end and didn't allow South African bowlers to build pressure. India lost two quick wickets in 3 balls which gave the home team a glimpse of hope but Raj Limbani entered the square with another plan. He smacked a six when India were going under pressure. India needed 2 runs when the skipper got run out at 81 runs but Raj Limbani ensured India's ticket to the final with no further damage and India won the game by 2 wickets.

(7 FEB) ICC U19 World Cup 2024: An incredible knock by skipper Uday Saharan and Sachin Dhas led India U19 to book another U19 World Cup final as they snatched a win out of South Africa's grip in a cut-throat semifinal match. The Indian captain also leads the most runs in the tournament list followed by Musheer Khan and Sachin Dhas. We brought to you the latest updated list of Players with the most runs and most wickets after India U19 vs South Africa U19 semifinal.

The U19 World Cup 2024 semifinal 1 was a pure entertainer where the game was wavering throughout the course of 50 overs of the chase. India U19 who have always batted first in the tournament took a bold decision of bowling first in the semifinal after winning the toss. 



South Africa's offensive play in the early and late stages of their innings allowed them to attain a respectable score despite a significant slowdown in the middle overs. The home team posted the target of 245 in 50 overs courtesy of 64 from Richard and 76 from wicketkeeper-batter Pritorious.



Even after losing four wickets for thirty-two runs in 12 overs, Sachin Dhas and captain Uday Saharan managed to hold onto the crease. After they forged a strong partnership of more than 170 runs, Saharan and Sachin Dhas's outstanding stand helped India pull off a thrilling chase.

A bit of a fumble towards the end where India lost two wickets for just a run and the skipper also got runout, but Raj Limbani ensured no further damage and took the team home with a boundary. India U19 won the game by two wickets.



Indian youths are exhibiting some of the finest performances on the pitch, which has given them a lot of confidence. In addition to captain Uday Saharan and top-order batsman Musheer Khan, who are in peak form, Sachin Dhas also owns a century and a 96. While left-arm orthodox Saumy Pandey is India's leading wicket-taker in the event, he is receiving strong support from the team's pace attack.



Kwena Maphaka was a tournament mvp for South Africa. He collected three fifers and a total of 21 scalps. With 21 wickets in the competition, the 17-year-old came very close to matching Bangladesh's Enamul Haque Jr.'s (2014) record of 22 wickets for the most wickets in a single Under-19 World Cup edition.

Indian Skipper Uday Saharan after his brilliant knock of 81 runs led the team to the doorstep of victory and also helped him to lead the most runs tally with a total of 389 runs in 6 matches. The Indian batsman Musheer Khan follows him in the batting statistics. After six matches, Khan has scored 338 runs, making him the tournament?s second-highest run scorer.



Sachin Dhas holds the third spot. It is quite interesting that the top three ranks of most runs scored are held by Indian batters and that also shows the dominance of India in the tournament. South Africa's Lhuan-Dre&nbsp;PRETORIUS holds the fourth spot with a total of 287 runs and his journey will end here in this tournament.

With 21 wickets, South African bowler Kwena MAPHAKA remains the tournament's most wicket-taker after taking three crucial wickets against India U19 in the semifinal. With one wicket during the game, Indian spinner Saumy Pandey is tied for second place with Ubaid Shah.



In the last Super Six match, Ubaid Shah of Pakistan took a fifer against Bangladesh U19, moving him up to second place in the standings with 17 wickets. Semifinal 2 match between Pakistan U19 and Australia U19 will determine who advances to play India U19 in the Finals.

ICC U19 World Cup 2024: Players with Most Runs and Most Wickets (7 FEB) Updated After IND vs SA Semifinal | Player Rankings 1 ? 10

IND U19 vs AUS U19 Final: In a match that is expected to be really thrilling and tense, Australia U19, who have won the title three times, and India U19, the defending champions, are ready to face off against one another in the final of the Under-19 One Day International World Cup, to be played tomorrow at Willowmoore Park in Benoni. The game will start at 1:30 p.m. Indian Standard Time.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><div><div class=""><a href="#indias-playing-11-against-australia">India?s Playing 11 against Australia</a></div></div></nav></div>



India, with captain Uday Saharan at the helm, has been unbeaten since their group stage matches and has won all three games against Bangladesh and Ireland. This allowed the Boys in Blue to finish first in their group stage group. The Indian squad led by Uday Saharan handily beat New Zealand and fellow Asian country Nepal, managing to end up atop Group 1 of the Super Six with eight points. When facing the New Zealand team, the Indian side was in outstanding form, winning by a huge 214-run margin.



The Indian U19 cricket team, nicknamed the Boys in Blue, defeated Nepal by 132 runs in their last Super Six match of the tournament. India put up a score of 293 runs, which Nepal failed to chase down. Next, Uday Saharan's team played the host nation of this year?s U19 World Cup, South Africa, in the first semi-final. The Blue Army emerged victorious over the junior South African side thanks to stellar batting performances from Sachin Dhas (96 runs off 95 balls) and captain Uday Saharan (81 runs off 124 balls). The young Indian team now aims to retain the Under-19 World Cup trophy by beating Australia in the final. A win would also allow the Indian U19 side to take revenge on Australia after the senior Indian team lost to them in the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup.



Similar to India, Australia has also emerged victorious in all of their matches in the 2024 Under-19 World Cup. The Australian team comfortably won against Namibia, Sri Lanka, and Zimbabwe in the initial group stage matches. In the Super Six phase, captain Hugh Weibgen and his squad beat their Ashes rivals England by a big 110-run margin. Their second Super Six match against the West Indies was washed out due to rain. If the Rain Gods had not interrupted, the mighty Aussies likely would have beaten the Windies as well, as they seemed to be in a strong position to win. In their match against Pakistan, Weibgen and his boys barely managed to win by one wicket in the second semi-final. The Australian squad aims to beat India in the final game and win their fourth Under-19 World Cup trophy.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="indias-playing-11-against-australia">India?s Playing 11 against Australia</h3>



Coming to the playing 11 of the Indians, the slots of the openers are likely to be filled by the regular opening pair of Adarsh Singh and All-Rounder Arshin Kulkarni. Adarsh got out for a duck against South Africa, so he would like to score big runs against Australia in the all-important final and help India defeat the Aussies. Arshin, on the other hand, had managed to get starts, but he has been unable to convert those starts into big scores, so he would like to trouble the Aussie bowling unit with his aggressive batting by scoring important runs and helping the Indian team defend their World Cup trophy.



Batting All-Rounder Musheer Khan will be batting at the number three position. He has been really dangerous whenever he has batted at number three, as he has managed to score 338 runs in six games at an outstanding average of 67.60. He also has the knack to chip in with his useful left arm orthodox spin bowling, as he has six wickets next to his name. The 18-year-old will be expected to play a crucial role in the final against Australia if India wants to retain their U-19 World Cup Trophy.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/Musheer-Khan.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-126437" /></figure>



The number four position in the batting order will be occupied by the Indian skipper and the highest run-getter in this year?s U19 World Cup, Uday Saharan. Saharan has scored a total of 389 runs in six games, which included one century and three half centuries. Along with his captaincy duties, Saharan will play an important role with the bat for the Indians against Australia.



In-form batsman Sachin Dhas will bat at number five for India in the final against Australia. He has consistently made valuable runs with the bat for the Indian team throughout this tournament. Dhas will be relied upon again to contribute significantly with the bat in the final of the 2024 U19 World Cup.



The lower order of the Uday Saharan-led team will consist of Priyanshu Moliya and CSK wicketkeeper batsman Aravelly Avanish. Both of them will be playing the role of finishers.



Murugan Abhishek, Naman Tiwari, Raj Limbani, and Saumy Pandey will form the bowling unit of the Boys in Blue. Murugan Abhishek and Saumy Pandey will be the main spinners of the Boys in Blue, while Naman Tiwari and Raj Limbani will play the roles of the fast bowlers.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/Saumy-Pandey.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-126480" /></figure>



Raj Limbani (eight wickets) and Saumy Pandey (17 wickets) will be the most important bowlers of the Boys in Blue, and both of them will play crucial roles in the Uday Saharan-led team?s hopes of winning their sixth Under-19 World Cup title.



India U19 Strongest Playing 11 against Australia: Adarsh Singh, Arshin Kulkarni, Musheer Khan, Uday Saharan (C), Aravelly Avanish (WK), Sachin Dhas, Priyanshu Molliya, Murugan Abhishek, Naman Tiwari, Ram Limbani, and Saumy Pandey.

India-U19 Strongest Playing 11 for the final against Australia-U19 | IND U19 vs AUS U19 Final

Australia Cricket Team has faced a massive blow ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. T20I captain Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out the entire tournament with a back injury, and there are chances that he might miss the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. 
Mitchell Marsh has been struggling with his back ever since the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 started. The pacer looked in pain but continued playing for Australia before he was dropped from the team as Beau Webster replaced him for the last match at the Sydney Cricket Ground. 
Following that, Mitchell Marsh played a single game in the Big Bash League, and after that,t, he was rested from the last three matches of the BBL season to mentally and physically refresh ahead of the ICC  Champions Trophy 2025. However, it came as a big surprise that selectors ruled him out. 
<h2>Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out of the upcoming ICC Men's Champion's Trophy with ongoing lower back pain and dysfunction - Cricket Australia </h2>
Cricket Australia released the official statement, saying that the all-rounder has been ruled out with lower back pain and dysfunction. The statement added that they made the decision, keeping in mind the long-term plan, adding that they will be naming a replacement soon. 
"Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out of the upcoming ICC Men's Champion's Trophy with ongoing lower back pain and dysfunction. The National Selection Panel and Australian men's medical team ruled Marsh out of the tournament with the injury which has not responded sufficiently to rehabilitation. 
"His lower back pain flared in recent weeks, leading the NSP to make the longer-term decision for Marsh to complete a more extended period of rehabilitation. Marsh will now undergo a period of further rest and rehabilitation as part of his return-to-play plan. The NSP will meet to decide on a replacement for Marsh in due course." Statement from Cricket Australia read. 
Mitchell Marsh getting ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 comes as a huge blow. The all-rounder has been the key member of the team in the white-ball cricket. Since 2023, he has been sensational with the bat, as he has averaged 44.54 in ODIs with a strike rate of 109.13. Along with this, he also has been handy with the ball. 
Cricket Australia are also mulling over the fitness of captain Pat Cummins as well. The pacer has been struggling with the ankle injury and there is no clarity over him as well. If both Marsh and Cummins get ruled out, then there will be headaches for the management as they won't have a captaincy option. 
Steve Smith and Travis Head might be asked to take over the role then. Josh Inglis also is there as he recently led the team in home summer, both in T20Is and ODIs.

IND vs ENG 4th T20I: With the scoreline of 2-1, India and England are now going to play the fourth T20I of the series at the MCA Stadium, Pune. There is a lot at stake for England, but India has some breathing space. 
England have lost all three tosses so far and still managed to secure a win while batting first on a batting paradise. Meanwhile, India, who were used to winning series with a clean sweep, have lost one match in the series but can still wrap up the series in their favor today in Pune.
Let's take a look at the squads and strongest Playing11 possible for India and England in the 4th T20I:
<h2>IND vs ENG 4th T20I Squads</h2>
England Squad: Philip Salt, Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler(c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Smith(w), Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Saqib Mahmood, Gus Atkinson, Jacob Bethell, Rehan Ahmed
India Squad: Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Dhruv Jurel, Mohammed Shami, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Ramandeep Singh, Harshit Rana
<hr>
<h2>Playing11 and Strategies</h2>
INDIA: Rinku Singh has returned to contention after recovering from his injury. On Thursday, India's assistant coach, Ryan ten Doeschate, confirmed that he is fully fit. His extended net session further hinted at his potential inclusion in the playing XI for the upcoming match.  
When it comes to strategy, India relied heavily on spin in the previous game, fielding five spinners—Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, and Abhishek Sharma—alongside just two pacers, Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67950e34bd1be.jpg" alt="">
However, the pitch in Pune is unlikely to offer much assistance to spinners. With Rinku Singh, a reliable left-handed batter, back in the mix, India could consider making a tactical adjustment by replacing Washington Sundar with an additional pacer, Arshdeep Singh, to strengthen their pace attack.
*India Playing11: Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy
ENGLAND: England might go with the same playing11 as in the 3rd T20I. There isn't any solid reason for them to make any changes only if there is a forced one. Jamie Smith(if not available) might get replaced by Jacob Bathell if needed.
*England Playing11: Ben Duckett, Philip Salt (wk), Jos Buttler (c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Smith/Jacob Bethell, Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood
<hr>
<h2>Pitch Report of Pune's MCA Stadium</h2>
The MCA Stadium in Pune is known for its batting-friendly conditions, making it a prime venue for high-scoring encounters. With short square boundaries and a true surface, batters often enjoy their time in the middle, and big totals are a common sight. If the scores don’t breach the 200-run mark, as was frequently seen in the last IPL, it would likely be due to disciplined bowling rather than any assistance from the pitch.
 <img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679c4dfe0bbbc.jpg" alt="">
Unlike some other venues in India, dew is not a significant factor here, ensuring that both innings are played under fairly consistent conditions. Additionally, the pitch tends to remain firm throughout the game, offering good bounce for stroke play and providing some assistance to pacers who hit the deck hard. With these factors in play, the MCA Stadium is set to witness a thrilling contest filled with raining boundaries and aggressive stroke-making.
<hr>
<h2>IND vs ENG 4th T20I Dream11 Team and Fantasy Tips</h2>
Pune's MCA Stadium is a batting paradise, and unless we witness any sort of collapse, it will be a high-scoring game. Anything under 170 would be below-par. We will make our team based on this, and not to mention, there will be a risk factor. 
For Wicketkeeper, Jos Buttler is going to be the first choice for everyone and he is a must-pick player. Sanju Samson is our second pick as he is not much picked, and he is due for a good performance. There couldn't be a better ground other than MCA Stadium for him to get his form back. He is even a choice for captain if you can take extra risks. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6798f7b286b99.jpg" alt="">
Tilak Verma is in great form and Ben Duckett is a good player of spin. With not much grip off the surface, these two batters are expected to fire to a good extent. SKY is under the radar and this Pune surface suits him so he is going to be in the team considering of what he can do when is in form. Tilak Verma or Ben Duckett can be another option for the captain and probably the safer option.
There are a lot of options in this section for both teams. Hardik Pandya and Liam Livingstone are two must-pick players and besides them, Overton might prove to be a good option. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67990b84a34e9.jpg" alt="">
Arshdeep Singh, if plays the match, must be in the dream11 team. Replace him with Mohammed Shami if Arshdeep doesn't play. Varun Chakravarthy and Mark Wood would be the two other bowlers. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6798f7b59f608.jpg" alt="">
This makes a strong team, more focused on the batting side as the pitch will favor the batters more. The bowling options are those who are most likely going to take wickets on such a surface. 
<h2>Dream11 Team- Grand League</h2>
Wicket-Keeper: Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson(C1) Batters: Surya Kumar Yadav, Den Duckett, Tilak Verma(C2) Allrounders: Hardik Pandya (VC), Liam Livingstone, J Overton Bowlers: Arshdeep Singh, V Chakravarthy, Mark Wood

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.

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.
