India vs Australia Live Streaming - CB Series Match 7

Ind Vs Aus Live

CB Series 2012 begun for Australia with good wins over India and Sri Lanka. It seemed that they would be dominating the tri series till we reach the finals. But things changed drastically. India registered a win over Sri Lanka and Australia and also tied a match with Sri Lanka. Thus the pictured changed completely and now when we are half way down the CB Series with all the teams have played 4 matches each; its India who tops the points table with 10 points, followed by Australia and then Sri Lanka.


Australia suffered a heavy loss against Sri Lanka in their last match and also conceded a bonus point to them. Thus the tri series has reached an interesting stage where all the three teams are narrowed down only by few points. It is now too hard to predict which two of them would make it to the finals.


Australia still misses the services of captain Michael Clarke. David Warner and Ricky Ponting are completely out of form. Too much is expected from David Hussey in the middle order and Australian fielding has not been upto the mark.


On the other hand India has showcased exceptional fielding and good bowling in the last few overs. Amongst the batsmen still there are worries regarding Kohli, Sehwag, Tendulkar and Raina. They haven't yet struck good form in this CB series. Dhoni and Gambhir have been the match winners for India in the last two matches. Whenever they play together for a win, they remind all of us of the world cup final win against Srilanka.


We may see some changes in the bowling department of India. Umesh Yadav may make way for Zaheer Khan and Irfan Pathan could be replaced by Praveen Kumar. Gabba has been one of the favourite venues for India in recent past as they have won good number of matches here. Pitdh here would produce good runs but would also help the quickies.

Australia vs Srilanka Live Streaming - CB Series Match 6

Australia vs Srilanka Live Streaming

After another nail biting thriller at Adelaide Oval now we move on to SCG for another face off from this tri series. This time it is Australia vs Sri Lanka. India is currently on the top of points table with 10 points which includes two wins, a loss and a tie. Sri Lanka is still winless and at 2 points with one tie. Australia is at 9 points with two wins and a bonus point.


Sri Lanka badly needs a win here to keep their hopes alive in this tri series. A loss here would make their stay toughest in this CB Series. The good thing about this match is the venue. SCG has been so far the best ground for Srilanka. They have managed victories in 5 out of 7 matches they played here in last few years. This also includes three victories against Australia.


Apart from the statistics, Srilanka also needs some better performance from Sangakkara, Dilshan and Jayawardene. They are going through a rough form and they need to stay on the pitch for long time, get used to the conditions and score big.


Australia would not enjoy the services of Michael Clarke for this match as he is suffering from hamstring injury. David Warner who is the vice captain is not considered for captaincy. Instead Ricky Ponting is handed over this role for this match. Hopefully Clarke recovers soon and returns in the next match which is against India at Brisbane on 19th February.


SCG heavily supports batsmen and hence we can expect a high scoring game here. With likes of Dilshan and Warner playing in we can expect some big hits as well. Eyes would be set on Kumar Sangakkara is he is just 11 runs short of 10,000 runs in ODI cricket. He has got good starts in all the innings in CB Series. We might expect a big day for him where he looks ahead to hit a ton!

India vs Srilanka Live Streaming - CB Series Match 5

India vs Srilanka Live Streaming Match 11

India needs 321 to win (to get a bonus point India has to score 321 in 40 overs)

There is an interesting turn around in this tri series now. It seemed Australia would dominate the series till the end but India has turned tables on Australia. India registered a nail biting win over Australia and now they take Sri Lanka in match no. 5


After a long time fans would see a confident Indian outfit with two wins in their pockets. One against Srilanka and the other against Australia. Dhoni once again displayed his finishing skills with that huge six in the last over against Australia. Gambhir missed his ton but showcased his return to form.


Indian fielding was inspirational and they need to carry the good effort in game against Srilanka as well. Indians bowled well in the last few overs to reduce the likely score of 300 to 269 against Australia. They need such tight bowling throughout 50 overs in match no.5


Srilanka desperately needs a win here as they have already lost two. Adelaide is a pitch which supports batsmen and if Srilanka fails to capitalise here they will have to try more hard in next matches to stay alive in this CB Series. Srilanka may go with two specialist spinners here. The skipper needs to click soon as he has seen a long rough patch.


We saw a good amount of runs on this track in the last match. So we all can expect a similar match where teams atleast cross the 250 runs mark in each innings. Rest depends on how good the bowlers perform and reduce the scoring rate.


If Sachin Tendulkar plays this could be another golden opportunity for him to reach his 100th International century. He has generally played well against Sri Lanka and the Adelaide Oval track will make things easier for him.

England Vs Pakistan 2012 Live Streaming - ODI Series

England Vs Pakistan 2012 Live Streaming

England takes on Pakistan in an ODI series after suffering a 3-0 whitewash in the test series. England would be eager to turn tables on Pakistan in this format of the game. Meanwhile Pakistan would love to extend their domination even in 50 overs format.


England captain Alastair Cook has assured that they will leave the sour memories of test series behind and give their best in this ODI series. According to the recent form, Pakistan has won all their last 5 ODIs whereas England has lost their last 5 ODI encounters.


Two bowlers which can provide us some entertainment are Shahid Afridi and Steven Finn. Afridi claimed 5 wickets in the warm up match against Afghanistan and he will be the biggest boost for Pakistan. Steven Finn has always been impressive with his quick bowling.


Pietersen is likely to open innings with Cook whereas Kieswetter will move down the batting order. Pakistan may pitch in just one quick bowler viz. Umar Gul as they would love to trouble England with their main strength which is spin bowling. 


The pitch here in UAE will probably be more supportive to the spinners and hence Pakistan can make the most out of it. England batsmen would need to provide a lot of resistance and keep the score board ticking. England has a point to prove here after 3-0 defeat in the test series.

India vs Australia Live Streaming - CB Series Match 4

Match Update - India beats Australia


No idea but somehow a small ray of hope can be seen in the eyes of Indian fans. Somehow they feel India would clinch match number 4 of CB Series, even though Australia is on the top with 2 wins out of 2 matches.


Probably just like Australia even the Indian team is now high on confidence after beating Srilanka. Sachin achieved his rhythm back and again Kohli played well to be the highest scorer so far in CB Series. If Sehwag or Gambhir clicks to join the party, then Indian batting looks really dangerous.


As far as bowling is concerned apart from the run leakage in 1st match, Indian bowlers were pretty tight against the Srilankans. Something similar is expected from there here at Adelaide. Zaheer Khan was unplayable at times and he needs to maintain his same line and length throughout the series.


Two wins in two matches with a bonus point in first match strengthens the Australian position on the points table. India stands 2nd with one win against Srilanka. Clarke very well said that they need to play better cricket in every game as they are playing against the two finalists of World Cup.


Australian bowling lineup so far has looked very good with Doherty, Christain, Starc and Harris handling things very well. Batting on the top order is a bit of worry. Otherwise the middle order has provided a strong resistance to the opposition and posted winning totals. Ricky Ponting needs a good performance in ODIs to seal his place in the squad. He didn't succeed in the initial two matches and who knows this could be his day.


Something regarding the venue - Adelaide Oval is also the home ground of South Australia and holds a capacity of around 30000 plus spectator. If we consider the straight boundaries, they are long and hence we may not see straight sixes. But sixes would be visible square of the wickets where the boundaries are comparatively shorter.


This picturesque cricket venue promises a toughly fought match between India and Australia.
