Aus vs SL Live


Match Update - Australia beats Srilanka


The host Australia take on Sri Lanka in the 3rd match of CB Series. So far Australia is on the top of the points table with a win over India, whereas India is on 2nd position with a win over Srilanka. So Srilanka would be the most eager team here to register a win and match shoulders with the other two teams.


Srilankan team has seen major changes including change in captaincy, coach and administration. So a win is a must to create a kind of self belief in this reformed team. Malinga provides a lot of comfort to a captain, provided he gets the desired fielding arrangement. Jayawardene looked a bit haphazard in fielding arrangements in match against India at Perth.


Still the Perth wickets stays bouncy and helpful for the bowlers. Team winning the toss may be enticed to bowl first to extract the early help offered by pitch to the quickies. Spinners will certainly get help in the later stages of the game. We can expect similar pitch behaviour that we saw in India vs Srilanka match.


Jayawardene agreed to the fact that Australia has a very good batting lineup and they need a very firm plan to be the better team in this match. Srilanka has some fond memories of ODI cricket in Australia because last time when they visited here, they clinched the bilateral ODI series. Jayawardene knows that they need to go after the Australian bowling attack to put pressure from the word go.


A lot relies on the shoulders of Jayawardene, Dilshan and Sangakarra as far as the batting department is concerned. We can expect a close one between these two teams as we know the fighting spirit of Srilankans and "not to let go anything" kind of spirit of the home team.

India Vs Srilanka Live Streaming - CB Series Match 2

India Vs Srilanka Live Streaming 21st Feb

India takes on Sri Lanka in Match 2 of CB Series. These two teams faced each other in the World Cup final before this which turned out to be a cliff hanger. India clinched a win to lift World Cup earlier this year. Lately these two teams have been criticised a lot for their bad form. So both the teams would be eager to win this one here at Perth.


India has already lost the 1st match to Australia and now they can't afford another loss here. That would make things harder for MS Dhoni as this would compel India to win more in the later stages of this series. India has already faced a lot of criticism after the test series and things aren't getting an easier for them. We can expect some major changes in the team once they finish this tour of Australia.


Something that has been very common nowadays is failure of India's batting order with top order not making a mark at all. A lot relies on Sachin, Dhoni, Raina, etc. On the other even the bowling department has not been impressive. Match 1 - Bowlers leaked a lot of runs which ultimately landed the team against a daunting target.


Sri Lanka has made a lot of changes to their team alongwith a new captain as well. Jayawardene returns to the role of captaincy. Dilshan would be more dangerous as he is released from the captaincy role and Malinga would be a big attraction in bowling line up.


Asian cricket fans would be a lot interested in this face off. A good game of cricket awaits us as World Cup winners take on the World Cup runners up.

Pak Vs Eng Live Streaming

England has faced a nightmare in this test series losing first two test matches. Being the top ranked team in ICC test rankings a lot was expected from England. Pakistani team has shown great signs of early revival as they are performing pretty good recently at international level.


Third test has entered into an interesting stage where England is trying to chase a not so easy total. A win here will help them regain some pride and reduce the losing margin to 1-2. We are into day 4 here at Dubai International cricket stadium where England is chasing a total of 324 to win this match.


Pakistan were bowled out for 99 runs with Shafiq being the highest scorer - 45 runs. This marked a good comeback of England in this series. Broad clinched 4 whereas Anderson took 3 wickets.

CB Series Live - India vs Australia 1st ODI

India vs Australia Live Streaming


After a relieving win in the 2nd t20, now we move ahead for a long CB series which comprise of ODI matches to be played between India, Australia and Sri Lanka. India bowls first against Australia here at MCG. India is led by MS Dhoni and Australia is led by Michael Clarke.


India lacked some young energy in test series which has been filled in since the t20 series. After a long drought of wins abroad, finally India managed to clinch a win in 2nd t20 to boost their confidence. The biggest contribution in that win came from the fielding department which was described as "probably the best fielding effort I have seen" by Dhoni.


Sachin Tendulkar will be seen playing the ODI cricket for the first time after World Cup. He again gets an opportunity here to complete his 100th International ton. This tri nation series becomes more exciting with a fact that teams participating has an ODI champion (India), 4 times world cup winner (Australia) and world cup final runner up (Sri Lanka).


Three big teams will make this CB series  more exciting than expected. The long tournament gives teams enough time to bounce back, if they lose few earlier matches. But looking at the strength of these teams, we reckon none of them would like to have a bad start in this series.


Last time when India played a tri series in Australia, we saw the same three teams featuring in and India clinched that tri series beating Australia in best of three finals. India will certainly look ahead to repeat the feat by starting with a win first here at MCG today.


The weather may play a spoilsport today as there is a forecast of wet patches throughout the day.

India Vs Australia Live Streaming - 2nd T20 2012

India Vs Australia Live Streaming


Match Update - Ind wins by 8 wickets


India takes on Australia in the 2nd T20 today to avoid another whitewash. India was hoping for a change in fortune with a change in format. But they struggled in the 1st T20 match losing it by 31 runs. If something has to be blames that would certainly be the top order batsmen. India desperately needs a good start from the openers.


Australia has pitched in a lot of unknown faces and their team looks a complete T20 outfit. They completely look in the mood of good preparation before T20 world cup. This may compell them to make some changes in the winning eleven that played in the first match. Shaun Marsh could be sidelined to give Travis Birt an opportunity.


Keeping in mind the huge boundaries of Melbourne Cricket Ground, it is very likely that India will stick to two spinners. This again reduces the hopes of Irfan Pathan making an entry into the playing eleven. But considering his slow pace he may get an entry if he is lucky enough. 


MCG pitch may help the quickies today as supported by the local boy David Hussey. This also helps the batsmen a bit because they find it easy to time the ball. We don't see any chances of rain today which is again a good news for the cricket fans.


As the momentum is shifting towards the CB series involving Australia, India and Sri Lanka, the home team still looks on a roll and heading for another win but India on the other hand may come up with some surprise to pull a win here at MCG. A lot is expected today from Kohli, Gambhir and Sehwag. A proper manipulation in the overs between 5 to 15 may fetch a good score for India. Rest relies on the Indian bowlers how they restrict the Australian batting line up on a lower score.

Match Update: Aus wins by 31 runs
Let us all get ready for a gruelling month and a half for limited version of cricket. Yes after a long test series where India was again presented a white wash, now its time for some colourful and ever exciting T20 cricket action. India being a better outfit recently in the limited overs version would be hoping for a win on this tour.


Australia is riding high on confidence after registering a comprehensive 4-0 win over India in the test series. They would certainly love to repeat the feat in T20 as well as the tri nation ODI series. With T20 world cup down the line this year, none of these teams would like to take these T20 matches lightly.


Something interesting for the Australians would be their new T20 skipper George Bailey. He will be making his international debut with this T20 match and would also lead the Australian side. Not to forget he is Chennai Super Kings team mate of Mahendra Singh Dhoni as well.


With like of David Warner, David Hussey and Shaun Marsh; Australian side will be lightened up with young and energetic batsmen. Brett Lee will add colours to the side along with Brad Hogg who would keep us interested in the bowling department with his chinaman deliveries.


Desperate for a win, Indian side will be playing youngsters like Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, etc. Bowling deparment will see a change with Praveen Kumar sneaking into the team. There is an add on to the excitement when one of the two Irfan Pathan or Ravindra Jadeja will play at no.7 in Indian batting line up.


Will this match change fortunes for team India and give them their first win on this tour? Let us enjoy live cricket streaming online and watch some tumbling wickets and huge sixes.

India Vs Australia 4th Test Live Streaming

Ind Vs Aus 4th Test Live

Since the boxing day, one team has exceeded the expectations whereas the other has given up in all terms. India's best chance of upstaging Australia in Australia now looks India's worst ever performance in Australia. To add to the pain, MS Dhoni has been suspended due to slow over rate in the Perth Test. In his absence, opening batsman Virender Sehwag will anchor the Indian captaincy.

Sehwag has been in a bad form on this tour with just one half ton. Similar is the story of most of the other Indian batsmen. Virat Kohli showcased some resistance in the last test and a lot is expected from him. Gautam Gambhir, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman need to click this time if India has to win.

VVS Laxman has been the most criticized Indian batsman on this tour. His vulnerable batting makes him the first option for the critics to say he should make way for a youngster. Who knows he may click form and hit a ton to silent the critics. On the other hand even Kohli has a brilliant opportunity to continue his good batting and strengthen his position in the test side.

Australia will include Nathan Lyon and Mitchell Starc will be rested. The other bowlers in the playing eleven would be Siddle, Hilfenhaus and Harris. Indian selectors may not give a chance to Rohit Sharma this time also but it is likely that R Ashwin will make a come back. In absence of Dhoni, Wriddhiman Saha will make an entry as wicketkeeper.

Adelaide Oval offers a lot of support to the batsmen but it also helps the quickies a lot on day 1. Rest of the days it will prove helpful to the spinners as well. Keeping in mind the stats that Sehwag has two wins out of 3 as a captain and Australia has one just one out of last four matches at Adelaide Oval; India should strive hard to capitalize and clinch a win here.
