SCO vs STR Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: BBL 2022/23 Match 16 | PS vs AS Dream11 Prediction Today | Perth Pitch Report

After Christmas, we are in for another feast with two of the quality teams of BBL 12 doing battle on this Boxing Day. Perth Scorchers, despite losing a number of players before the tournament, are contenders once again. Adelaide Strikers, after coming so close to reaching last year’s final, are up there once again thanks to a great start to the season.

Two strong bowling attacks will meet head on in what makes for a cracking contest. Early wickets will be key, but with both sides having capable middle orders, it will be on the bowlers to keep the pressure on. With top spot up for grabs, the opportunity is there for the two teams to consolidate.

List of Australians sold and unsold in IPL 2023 Auction

Cricket News: List of Australians sold and unsold in IPL 2023 | List of Australian players sold in the IPL 2023 Auction

In true IPL Auction fashion, it was another eventful evening with many talking points. December 23, 2022 saw four of the most expensive purchases in history in one night, with England’s Sam Curran going to Punjab Kings for a whopping 18.5cr (approx. US$2.25 million).

There were also some winners in Australian circles as teams set their squads for the upcoming IPL 2023 season.

List of Australians sold in the IPL 2023 Auction

Here is a list of the Australian players who were purchased in the IPL 2023 Auction.

Cameron Green – Mumbai Indians

Those fast runs against India in September 2022 have changed Cameron Green’s life. Australia’s all-rounder is now the second-most expensive player in IPL history and most expensive Australian. Mumbai Indians forked out a whopping 17.25cr (approx. US$2.1 million) for Green’s services, and how he fits into what is looking a stacked side will be interesting to see.

Jhye Richardson – Mumbai Indians

The Western Australia and Perth Scorchers pacer will also join the Mumbai Indians. The five-time champions picked him up for just 1.5cr (approx. US$180,000), and could potentially make up a magnificent trio alongside Jasprit Bumrah and Jofra Archer.

Adam Zampa – Rajasthan Royals

Unsold last year, Adam Zampa may have feared going unsold again as he wasn’t picked up in the first round of bidding. However, Rajasthan Royals went on to purchase one of the world’s premier T20 spinners for a good price (approx. US$121,000).

Daniel Sams – Lucknow Super Giants

Lucknow, who performed so admirably in their first season, have acquired the services of Sams. The left-arm seamer and hard-hitting batsman can serve as a replacement for Jason Holder, who is now at Rajasthan Royals.

List of Australians unsold at the IPL 2023 Auction

The competitive nature of the IPL Auction means a number of quality players miss out on bidding. Here is a list of the Australian players who went unsold:

Travis Head, Riley Meredith, Lance Morris, Ben McDermott, Josh Philippe, Peter Hatzoglou, Chris Lynn, Sean Abbott, Ben Dwarshuis, Billy Stanlake, Andrew Tye, Moises Henriques, D’Arcy Short, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Nathan McAndrew, Hayden Kerr, Jack Prestwidge

Australians previously retained for the 2023 season

Matthew Wade (Gujarat Titans), Marcus Stoinis (Lucknow Super Giants), Nathan Ellis (Punjab Kings), Glenn Maxwell and Josh Hazlewood (Royal Challengers Bangalore), Tim David and Jason Behrendorff (Mumbai Indians), and David Warner and Mitchell Marsh (Delhi Capitals) were retained by their respective franchises for the 2023 season.

Most expensive players in IPL history

Cricket News: Most expensive players in IPL history | List of the top 5 most expensive players in IPL history

Mini-auctions in the Indian Premier League (IPL) more often than end up springing up many a surprise. The same has been the case this time around, with the duo of Sam Curran and Cameron Green, who had the entire spotlight ahead on them all this while, ending up as two of the most expensive players in the history of the cash-rich league.

Without further ado, let us take a look at five cricketers who attracted the highest bids in the competition.

Top 5 most expensive players in IPL history

Sam Curran: 18.5 cr

The English all-rounder became the costliest pick in the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction as Punjab Kings (PBKS) picked him for Rs 18.50 crore (approx. US$2.22m) in Kochi on December 23, 2022. The 24-year-old displayed incredible heroics in the recently-concluded T20 World Cup as he propelled England to the title with a ‘Man of the Tournament’ performance.

Curran has developed tremendously with respect to his death bowling and can play a good hand with the bat whenever required. Punjab offloaded quite a few of their expensive stars like Mayank Agarwal and Odean Smith in this auction and certainly had more money in the bank than others to acquire the services of the prodigious all-rounder.

Cameron Green: 17.25cr

The 6’5” tall Australian star was the talk of the town ahead of the player auction as he enthralled the Indian audience with some incredible power-hitting when the Australian team toured India for a three-match T20I series in September 2022.

In addition to that, he can bowl some good pace at all stages of the game. The 23-year-old has bundles of potential and has a style of play incredibly well-suited to the shortest format of the game. Mumbai Indians were certainly eyeing him ahead of the player auction and snapped him for a humungous sum of Rs 17.25 crore (approx. $2.07m).

Ben Stokes: 16.25cr

Ben Stokes might have given the IPL a miss last year but he returned to the T20 format with England and helped them lift the World Cup with another match-winning performance in the finale of a mega tournament.

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) value players who know what it takes to win big competitions and Stokes is right up there amongst the most prominent clutch players in world cricket. The MS Dhoni-led franchise secured Stokes’ services for a fairly high sum of Rs 16.25 crore (approx. US$1.95m) ahead of the 2023 season of the IPL.

Chris Morris: 16.25cr

The dynamics of a mini-auction are such that players often tend to go for big sums as teams often have a lot of amount of with little gaps to plug. Back in 2021, Rajasthan Royals (RR) relied on Morris’ impressive outings for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the preceding campaign to shell out Rs 16.25 crore (approx. US$1.95m) for the South African all-rounder.

That record was finally broken by Curran and then Green in the ongoing auction, and Stokes’ sum this year equaled the amount that RR paid for Morris back in the day.

Nicholas Pooran: 16cr

Nicholas Pooran isn’t undergoing the best phase of his career presently. West Indies crashed out of the T20 World Cup in the first round under his leadership. He stepped down from captaincy as the southpaw has been battling a run of poor form as well – having scored just 25 runs in three matches in the World Cup.

However, the 27-year-old continues to retain the faith of franchises in the IPL, as Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on-boarded him for Rs 16 crore (approx. $1.92m) in the 2023 auction. Pooran averaged 38.25 with a strike rate of 144.34 for the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) last year. Moreover, Lucknow skipper KL Rahul seems to have a fondness for Pooran, with the two of them having worked together previously for PBKS as well.  

Note: Delhi Daredevils (now Capitals) had picked Yuvraj Singh for a sum of Rs 16 crore too back in IPL 2015.

HUR vs REN Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: BBL 2022/23 Match 14 | HH vs MR Dream11 Prediction Today | Hobart Pitch Report

It’s Christmas Eve, and that means the Hobart Hurricanes are in action. Will the Christmas season spark some joy into the star-studded Hurricanes side that is yet to find its rhythm so far in BBL 12?

It feels like we are waiting for the Hurricanes to hit their straps, and every time they show glimpses, they come crashing back down to earth.

It won’t get easier as the Melbourne Renegades have a 100% record so far this campaign. The bowling attack, led by Akeal Hosein, has produced the goods, with some fine contributions from the likes of Aaron Finch and Nic Maddinson with the bat.

So, matchups will be key in what looks an even match on paper. But, if you go on form, then who knows which Hurricanes side will show up. This has the potential to be another close match.

Match Details

  • Location: Bellerive Oval, Hobart.

HEA vs STR Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: BBL 2022/23 Match 13 | BH vs AS Dream11 Prediction Today | Gabba Pitch Report

Here we go. Chris Lynn returns to the Gabba for the first time since leaving Brisbane Heat, as Adelaide Strikers look to continue their brilliant run of form.

It will take some adjusting to see Lynn, the face of the BBL for so many years in Heat colours, walk out in Brisbane with the opposition, but it certainly adds to the occasion. Can the Heat get the better of their favourite son or will Adelaide’s newest number three come out on top?

This is one of many questions for the Heat to contend with. The Strikers have been outstanding since the second half of last season, with Matt Short and their pace attack performing wonders so far in BBL 12, even rolling a team for 15. On a Gabba pitch that had plenty of juice for the quicks in last week’s two-day Test, here lies an opportunity for the Adelaide quicks, as well as Brisbane’s, to make inroads.

Match Details

  • Location: Gabba, Brisbane.

England squad for South Africa ODIs: Is Jofra Archer included?

Cricket News: England squad for South Africa ODIs: Is Jofra Archer included? | Is Jofra Archer in England’s ODI squad?

Jofra Archer has been named in England’s 14-man squad for their ODI tour of South Africa in late January. The fast bowler is set to play his first international since March 2021 after a series of elbow and back issues.

Archer, who was England’s leading wicket-taker in the 2019 World Cup, will be hoping for a big year. Should he get through the South Africa series unscathed, he will then head to India to link up with Mumbai Indians for IPL 2023. Then, there are the Ashes and ODI World Cup.

“I’d rather take these last few months very seriously, more serious than probably all of the rehab,” Archer said in his bowling stint at Abu Dhabi last month. “Because once this phase goes right, then it can set me up for the next three to four years injury-free. That’s the goal right now.”

England squad for South Africa ODIs

Jos Buttler will lead the squad for the three ODIs. Moeen Ali, Sam Curran and Harry Brook are also included.

Squad: Jos Buttler (c), Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Ben Duckett, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Jason Roy, Phil Salt, Olly Stone, Reece Topley, David Willey, Chris Woakes.

The first ODI will played at Bloemfontein on Friday, January 27. The second will played at the same venue on January 29, followed by the third ODI at Kimberley on February 1.

Ramiz Raja to be removed as PCB chair

Cricket News: Ramiz Raja to be removed as PCB chair | PCB to announce new chair after removal of Ramiz Raja

Pakistan Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif has formally initiated the process of removing Ramiz Raja as the chairman of the country’s apex cricket board. Sharif, who is also the patron of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), has created a new 14-member management committee under the stewardship of ex-PCB chief Najam Sethi.

The group will have 120 days to change and reinstate the previous, 2014 version, of the PCB constitution and replace the current one that was brought into action in 2019.

Ramiz Raja heading PCB is no more – Sethi

“The cricket regime headed by Ramiz Raja is no more. The 2014 PCB constitution stands restored. The Management Committee will work tirelessly to revive first class cricket. Thousands of cricketers will be employed again. The famine in cricket will come to an end,” Sethi’s tweet on the latest development read.

The bringing back of the 2014 version of the PCB constitution will result in a major constitutional revamp of the board. For instance, the previous edition did not have the provision to have a chief executive officer (CEO) in the board – a post that is presently held by Faisal Hasnain. 

Restoring the previous order of action in terms of the constitution will also end up including departmental cricket under the purview of domestic cricket, something that the 2019 constitution had overruled. 

This marks an ideological shift from the vision of former PM Imran Khan, who wanted Pakistan to replicate an Anustralian model of provincial teams in domestic cricket during his tenure as the head of the government and PCB patron. 

“Constitution of a management committee to manage the affairs of PCB with full executive powers with the aim of effecting the restoration of Departmental Cricket Structure and other allied matters, including the nomination of a Board of Governors and election of chairman, as stipulated in the 2014 constitution, within a timeframe of 120 days. The management committee of PCB shall comprise of the Chairman/Chief Executive & required members,” an official notification from PM Sharif’s office read. 

This will be first checked by the Law and Justice department before being presented in front of the Union Cabinet. Apparently, a sword had been hanging over Raja’s head ever since Sharif took over from Imran Khan as the country PM after a major political turmoil in April this year. 

However, Pakistan’s recent 0-3 whitewash in the home Tests against England meant that Sethi along with other members of the proposed management committee began making their moves in the political circles in Islamabad. A PCB chief is usually appointed upon the election of a new government in Pakistan.

Sethi had headed the PCB in different capacities from 2013-18. He had resigned from his post after Imran Khan got elected as the PM of Pakistan back in 2018. Former Pakistani skippers Shahid Afridi and Sana Mir are also speculated to be a part of the new management committee.

BBL’s newest sensation Patrick Dooley will meet Sydney Sixers at the SCG, a ground where spinners often have a say. So, it could be a fascinating contest between two good teams who are looking to find consistent form in this tournament.

Led by Dooley, along with key contributions from Matthew Wade and Tim David, Hobart Hurricanes got on the board in BBL 12 with a morale-boosting win over Perth Scorchers. Last season, they produced their best performance at the SCG where they pummeled 213/2, and will be aiming to send a similar statement before the competition heats up in the new year.

For the Sixers, they are currently in unfamiliar territory. The three-time champions are currently bottom after two defeats, so a win here is vital to get them going. They have the talent to do so, but need better starts with the bat after two poor powerplays in as many matches in BBL 12.

BBL 2022/23 Match 11: SIX vs HUR Possible Playing XI

Sydney Sixers have named their squad. This is set to be Jordan Silk’s 100th BBL match. Also, Steve O’Keefe may come back in for one of the seamers, as could Ben Dwarshuis who has the second-most wickets at the SCG (34) and second-most wickets for Sixers vs Hurricanes (11).

Sydney Sixers: 1. Josh Philippe (wk), 2. Kurtis Patterson, 3. James Vince, 4. Moises Henriques (c), 5. Jordan Silk, 6. Dan Christian, 7. Hayden Kerr, 8. Sean Abbott, 9. Steve O’Keefe, 10. Naveen-ul-Haq/Jackson Bird/Ben Dwarshuis, 11. Izharulhaq Naveed

The Hurricanes have also named their squad. They may bring Chris Tremain in given Joel Paris has struggled for control so far.

Hobart Hurricanes: 1. Ben McDermott, 2. D’Arcy Short, 3. Matthew Wade (c & wk), 4. Shadab Khan, 5. Tim David, 6. James Neesham, 7. Asif Ali, 8. Joel Paris/Chris Tremain, 9. Nathan Ellis, 10. Patrick Dooley, 11. Riley Meredith
