West Indies were getting into a good position in the first game before rain halted their progress. Their batting has looked good but their bowling could be a bit better with Sri Lanka making easy work of the West Indies bowlers.

The T20Is were well fought on slow pitches with a lot of interesting battles. West Indies are being challenged pretty well while the bowlers on both sides are significantly in the fight. ODIs are likely to be even more challenging with more spin on offer and a lot more wear in the pitches.

AUS-W vs IND-W Key Players

Beth Moony

Beth Moony has been a touch scratchy with her form coming into the tournament. She is going big but there are a lot of low scores as well in between. A strong start from her will be exactly what Australia will be looking for as they look to extend their mighty lead in Women's International events over the other sides.

Shreyanka Patil

Shreyanka Patil has been in good touch in recent times. She is having a good time and was good in the WPL as well. With spin likely to play a role while the ball stays dry she will have a job on hand as she looks to combine with her fellow spinners to strangle the New Zealand batters.

WI-W vs SCO-W Match Tips

West Indies, despite injury concerns will start favorites for this Test.

Match Prediction: West Indies Will Win the Match

Travis Head was all over the English in the first game. He gave a potential glimpse of what can happen again in an years time in the longer format. The first ODI was a rather comfortable one for Australia while it also allowed the likes of Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne and Cameron Green with chances to get a hit. Labuschagne in particular was pretty good coming in at number five, keeping the scoreboard moving well. His bowling too was pretty good as Australia bowled 31 overs of spin. England too did well with the bat early on but their tendency to collapse came into play again as England looked set for 360+ at one stage. Their bowling looked a little rusty with Jofra Archer not settling into his rhythm in the longer white-ball format.

Headingley, like most grounds in England can be good to bat on. The pitch looks firm with true bounce and early movement. Batting first, putting runs on the board and batting the opposition out early will be a better choice.

Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis/ Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Glenn Maxwell, Sean Abbott, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

ENG vs AUS Key Players

Liam Livingstone

Livingstone briefly faced the axe from ODIs with his numbers dwindling. With Jos Buttler out though, Livingstone has a chance of finding a second life in ODIs. He has the skillset for the game with flexibility in his batting and variety in his bowling but will be looking to ensure his potential converts to performances.

Marnus Labuschagne

Marnus Labuschagne was pretty good in the previous game, batting at a brisk strike rate. With time in the middle, Marnus Labuschagne has been enjoying the ODI format more and looks in really good touch.

ENG vs AUS Match Tips

Both sides are pretty evenly poised. England though may be a little short on experience and that could be where Australia will find themselves holding their nerve a touch better.

Match Prediction: Australia Will Win The Match

Trinidad has another win under their belt and are going very well. Tim David has joined the party while Dwayne Bravo and Andre Russell are back too. The star so far though has been Sunil Narine, who has been unplayable with the ball. Antigua has a challenge on hand with only four points after eight games. They are struggling to get going and will be looking for something drastic to happen.

Justin Greaves, Kofi James, Sam Billings, Jahmar Hamilton, Imad Wasim, Shamar Springer, Chris Green, Fabian Allen, Mohammad Amir, Roshan Primus, Kelvin Pitman

TKR vs ABF Key Players

Chris Green

Chris Green has been leading from the front with little support. He took four wickets and played a crucial knock down the order, in a losing cause. He is in good touch but will be looking for some help from his teammates with the tournament winding down fast for them.

Sunil Narine 

Sunil Narine has not yet taken off properly as an opener in the CPL yet. His bowling returns are remarkable thus far but with the baat, the explosiveness seen in the IPL is yet to come in to play as Sunil Narine struggles to cope with the pace early on with tracks having some bite in them.

Trinbago Knight Riders are easy favorites coming in at home and off a good set of wins.

Match Prediction: Trinbago Knight Riders Will Win the Match

Trinidad are getting on a roll with two consecutive wins. They come home where they have a lot of fan following and a really good record on tracks that tend to be good for batting. Guyana too were on a roll until a slight roadblock where they lost to the Barbados Royals. They are moving pretty well though and their batting line-up has had some bite along with their spinners who could have a good time on tracks that are known to take good turn.

Guyana Amazon Warriors are still in with some good momentum but taking on the Knight Riders in Trinidad is a challenge of its own. The Knight Riders too are looking pretty good and should find themselves favorites for the game.

Match Prediction: Trinbago Knight Riders Will Win the Match

New Zealand last toured Sri Lanka back in 2019. It was a world before Covid and after Kane Williamson and New Zealand faced a massive heartbreak in the World Cup Final. Sri Lanka's test team was transitioning after the retirement of Rangana Herath, and now Rangana Herath steps in a spin bowling coach for New Zealand. In the gap, New Zealand has seen players forego Central contracts while Kane Williamson has also moved on from captaincy across formats for good. He remains their best batter, and the spin attack is also growing. Galle though has turned out to be a pretty good ground for Sri Lanka. While it is not yet a fortress they have had some good wins in recent times at the ground.  Sri Lanka has had an up and down year but the high of the Oval Test win will be fresh in their mind as Sri Lanka managed to pick up and overseas win after a really long time.

SL vs NZ Weather Report

Rain seems to be following New Zealand. The Test has significant rain forecast throughout the Test with interruptions likely.

SL vs NZ Pitch Report

SL vs NZ Key Players

Prabath Jayasuriya

Prabath Jayasuriya has been a master at Galle. In his young Test career he has dominated at the ground. While he was sidelined in England he now has a chance to take the spotlight with Jayasuriya likely to be front and center in the action.

Rachin Ravindra

Rachin Ravindra is a vital all-rounder in white-ball Cricket and he now has his own chance at making it big in the long format. With spin likely to play a huge role he will have his tasks set-up. He is a good player of spin and can be the accurate left-arm spinner as New Zealand look to groom their next generation all-rounder.

SL vs NZ Match Tips

Both sides look pretty good coming into the Test. New Zealand, with their all-rounders have a lot of balance and are stuffed with bowling options. Sri Lanka too are in with some strong options both with bat and ball and picking a favorite looks tough. Galle though has been a happy hunting ground for Sri Lanka and that could leave them marginally favorites.

Match Prediction: England Will Win The Match
