West Indies vs India 1st Test Match Prediction :-

Before we move towards Prediction. Lets First of all look at the performance of both the team. Taking the host first, West Indies has a very good side with good pace attack. But in the past they have not performed well in the test match format due to which they are on the 8th position on the ICC Test Team Ranking. Jason holder is appointed as the captain of the test team, he also led the ODI team in the Tri series WI vs SA vs AUS where they reached to the finals but unfortunately not able to cross the line.

Now they are again up for the test match and this time Caribbean team will tackle the Sub-continent team India. WI have one of the best bowling unit among the others. They just have to improve their batting. In their squad they have few experienced players like Darren Bravo, Marlon Samuels, Carlos Brathwaite, Jason Holder other than these new or who have played few matches are in the team. So captain and the coaching staff have to do lot of work on their players.

India has very good test ranking, they are currently holding the 2nd position in the ICC Test Team rankings, just below the Australian team. If we look at the Indian squad they have very good balance with the bat and the ball. In the batting department, Shikhar Dhawan, Murali Vijay are there as opening pair. In the middle order Pujara, Captain Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Wriddhiman Saha are holding the back bone. In the bowling department, Ishant, Shami, Yadav will be holding the pace attack where Ravichandran Ashwin, Amit Mishra will be the spinners. KL Rahul, & Rohit Sharma both are rested for the match.

Currently Aussies are leading the ICC test team Ranking table as well as ODI Ranking table where the Sri Lanka is on the 7th spot in the test and 5th in the ODIs as on 24th June 2016. The Kangaroos are playing Tri Series in West Indies currently against South Africa and the home team where SL team is on the tour of England. Both the team will return to their respective nations and will prepare for the upcoming battle in July 2016.

After the retirement of two big legends Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene, the board is rebuilding the team and trying each and every thing to get a better replacement of them. There are many new faces who were selected for the England tour but unfortunately The lions lost the Test series there by 2-0. But now they will be in their home and will give tough competition to the visitors. Dinesh Chandimal, Angelo Mathews both are the back bone of their batting strength, have to perform in the upcoming series so that youngster will get confidence from their seniors.

Australian team are flooded with quality and experienced players like David Warner, Arron Finch, Captain Steven Smith, the dangerous Glenn Maxwell and many more batsman are there in the squad. The bowling line up will be much strengthened than earlier as Mitchell Strac back in the team after the recovery from the his recent injury. So the team have complete balance and ready to tackle Sri Lankans on their land.

No doubts Australia has world class players under their shed and ranked no. 1 in Test and ODI cricket but they shouldn’t take their opponent lightly. They have played 13 test matches on the land of Sri Lanka out of which they have successfully grabbed the victory from the opponent on 6 occasions, played 6 draw and in 1999 lost one. So this time Lankans have an opportunity to improve their records Test records against them.

If we look at the ODI records both the teams played 25 ODI matches together in Sri Lanka and this time The lions are head of Aussies by winning 13 matches. In T20 too both the matches won by the sub continent team. So the records tells all the story about the performance of both the teams.

Zimbabwe vs India 2016 3rd ODI Match Prediction :-

If we look at the current ICC ODI Team Ranking, India is on the 4 position on the table where Zimbabwe is way behind on the 11 position. No doubt Men is blues are having good rankings but this time all new squad has been selected for the tour in which all the players are youngsters, MS Dhoni is the only experienced player there. So ZIM have good opportunity to take advantage of. For the series Graeme Cremer is selected as the captain of the team for the series.

If we look at the players of both the team and their individual performance than it looks like that IND will win this 3rd ODI of the series. All the players, specially bowlers have performed extremely well. Jaspreet Bumrah picked up 4 wickets in the 1st match and destroyed the batting order of the opponent where Dhawal Kulkarni took 2-2 wickets each. Yazuvendra Chahal who is on his debut was very impressive with his spinning deliveries and took his first wicket of Richmond Mutumbami and in the 2nd ODI took 4 wickets and becomes the Man of the match. Zimbabwe was only able to score 126 runs at the loss of 10 wickets in 34.3 overs (2nd ODI)

Despite of inexperience, youngsters performed well. KL Rahul scored his first hundred on his debut match in the first ODI. He has shown his temper out there and batted sensibly, with the help of 7 fours and 1 six he scored 100* runs with a strike rate of 86.95. Karun Nair, Ambati Rayudu, Manish Pandey, Dhoni, Kedar Jadhav are in the middle who can bat and can chase down any big total. In the lower order Axar Patel is holding the spot who can hit big sixes and add some quick runs to the total.

If we look onto the Zimbabwe squad, They have Hamilton Masakadza, Elton Chigumbura, Craig Ervine, Chamu Chibhabha who are good with the bat and can score runs for the teams. But they have to tackle the Indian fast bowlers. They have to bat sensibly and try to put some good runs on the board and then should accelerate the total. They have avoid silly mistakes and keep the wickets in their hand.

In the bowling department captain Graeme Cremer is leading from the front with Tendai Chatara, Taurai Muzarabani. In the 1st ODI match Chamu Chibhabha was impressive, he has bowled out 8 overs and only spend 14 runs with a maiden. Chatara was the only bowler who got the wicket in that match. In the last match bowlers have nothing to do as they were defending a score of 126 runs which is almost impossible that’s why Man in blues chase down the small target with ease. This time they have try little harder to take some early wickets and push Indian batsman onto the backfoot.

According to our prediction India will win 3rd ODI match of Zimbabwe vs India 2016 series match.

Key Players of Both Teams :-

India:

• MS Dhoni
• KL Rahul
• Ambati Raydu
• Manish Pandey
• Jasprit Bumrah

Zimbabwe:

• Chamu Chibhabha
• Hamilton Masakadza
• Craig Ervine
• Elton Chigumbura
• Graeme Cremer
