Will Cameron Green be fit for the start of the IPL?

Cricket News: Will Cameron Green be fit for the start of the IPL? | How many matches will Cameron Green miss due to a finger injury?

Cameron Green is expected to be ready for the India Test tour and Indian Premier League (IPL) after suffering a fracture to his right index finger in the second Test against South Africa.

Green was struck on the hand by the rapid Anrich Nortje on the second evening. He went off and had scans, with the diagnosis confirmed on Wednesday morning. However, he came back to bat and scored a fighting 51* off 177 balls.

The all-rounder will undergo an operation this week to repair the fracture. The medical team is confident he will be back in action in about four weeks, which is when the Australia squad is due to fly to India for the four-match Test series.

Cameron Green ruled out of SCG Test, should be ready for India tour and IPL

Green did not bowl in the second innings of the MCG Test and is out of the New Year’s Test at the SCG. Also, he is considered unlikely to take any part in the Big Bash League (BBL) as he faces a “a period of recovery leading into the Qantas Tour of India” according to cricket.com.au.

“It’s a great environment to be a part of so I’m definitely going to miss it. I’m going to do as much as I can to get it right and try to go to India,” Green said to the aforementioned website.

“A lot of people talk about the tour to India, how tough it is mentally and physically. It’s going to be a massive tour for us. We’re as best prepared as we’re ever going to be, so (I’m) looking forward to it.”

Given the fracture is a small one and the IPL takes place after the four Tests in India, Mumbai Indians fans can breathe easy knowing Green should be fit and ready to go for the tournament.

The all-rounder became the second-most expensive player in the history of the competition after the five-time champions picked him up for a whopping 17.25cr (approx. US$2.1 million).

HEA vs THU Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: BBL 2022/23 Match 19 | BH vs ST Dream11 Prediction Today | Carrara Pitch Report

T20 cricket can be a funny game. On December 16, Sydney Thunder were bowled out for a record-low 15. 11 days later, they won by ten wickets with 50 balls to spare.

Given how quickly things can change, Brisbane Heat will be hoping for a reverse in fortunes themselves as they were on the end of the Thunder hammering less than 48 hours ago. After the excellent win against Strikers last week, the Heat put in their worst performance of the season, with their batting and bowling failing miserably in a poor defeat.

As a result, the Heat sit bottom while the Thunder have the opportunity to move into the top five. The Heat will be looking to hit good lengths consistently in the powerplay after they were all over the place two nights ago, with the Thunder middle order still rife with questions. From a Thunder perspective, a similar performance – and NRR boost – will work nicely.

Match Details:

  • Location: Carrara Oval (Metricon Stadium) Gold Coast.
  • Time: 5:05pm (local), 12:35pm (IST).

BBL 2022/23 Match 19: HEA vs THU Possible Playing XIs

Thunder have not officially named their squad at the time of writing. They may stick with the same XI that thrashed Heat on Tuesday.

Since the start of September, Rilee Rossouw has scored 276 runs at an average of 69.00 and strike rate of 178.84 when batting first in T20s. When batting second, he has scored just 35 runs in six innings.

Sydney Thunder: 1. Matthew Gilkes (wk), 2. Alex Hales, 3. Rilee Rossouw, 4. Oliver Davies, 5. Alex Ross, 6. Daniel Sams, 7. Nathan McAndrew, 8. Chris Green (c), 9. Gurinder Sandhu, 10. Brendan Doggett, 11. Usman Qadir

Heat have confirmed their squad. James Bazley is back and could slot into the XI.

Brisbane Heat: 1. Max Bryant, 2. Colin Munro, 3. Matt Renshaw, 4. Sam Billings, 5. Jimmy Peirson (c & wk), 6. Ross Whiteley, 7. Michael Neser, 8. Xavier Bartlett/James Bazley, 9. Mark Steketee, 10. Matthew Kuhnemann, 11. Mitchell Swepson

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Brisbane Heat:

  • Colin Munro is key to the Heat’s hopes. He struggled for fluency two nights ago (43 off 47 balls), in line with his career record vs Thunder: 6 inns, 201 runs, avg. 40.29, SR 111.67.
  • Sam Billings hit 79 off 48 two games ago before he was dismissed cheaply for 1 against Thunder. In 21 balls faced on this ground, Billings has scored 29 runs without dismissal.
  • Jimmy Peirson averages 29.43 in 12 innings vs Thunder. But, the captain has historically struggled at Carrara Oval with just 56 runs in six innings at an average of 9.33.
  • Heat will be well served to bring James Bazley back. The seamer has taken five wickets in two innings on this ground at a strike rate of 8.40.
  • Against Thunder, however, Bazley has taken just the one wicket in three matches at an average of 82.00 and economy of 10.25.
  • Mark Steketee (seven wickets in BBL 12) and Michael Neser (six wickets in BBL 12) both had a tough night against Thunder two days ago. But, they are in wicket-taking form and can’t be counted out.
  • Steketee has taken the third-most wickets in T20s on this ground. The seamer has six wickets in four games at an average of 22.83 and strike rate of 14.00.

Sydney Thunder:

  • Matthew Gilkes enjoys batting against the Heat. He has struck 108 runs at an average of 36.00 and strike rate of 150, including a man of the match 56* off 34 balls two nights ago.
  • Gilkes has scored 14 off 10 vs Neser and 16 off 13 vs Steketee, both without dismissal.
  • Alex Hales was at his dominant best on Tuesday night. He thumped 59* off 36 balls, which was his second-straight half-century in BBL 12.
  • Hales career record vs Brisbane Heat: 8 inns, 175 runs, avg. 29.17, SR 149.57.
  • Oliver Davies has struck scores of 33* and 42 in his last two knocks.
  • Daniel Sams took a further two wickets vs Heat two nights to take his tally to 14 scalps in eight innings at an average of 17.07 and economy of 9.08.
  • Chris Green was a candidate for man of the match with his 2/14 on Tuesday. He dismissed Max Bryant and Matt Renshaw inside six overs, part of 11 wickets in 12 matches vs Heat at an average of 24.73 and economy of 6.97.
  • Usman Qadir bowled beautifully on his BBL 12 debut vs Heat (1/19). Expect the legspinner to find turn once again on the Carrara surface.

Other Stats and Facts

  • Head-to-head: Matches 17, Heat 10, Thunder 6, N/R 1.
  • This will be the first meeting between the teams on this ground.
  • Alex Hales has struck scores of 45 and 26 at a strike rate of 139.22 on this ground.
  • Alex Ross vs Heat since December 2019: 6 inns, 146 runs, avg. 36.50, SR 128.07.
  • Gurinder Sandhu has taken five wickets in three matches at Carrara (SR 10.80).
  • In his last seven BBL innings, Xavier Bartlett has scored 157 runs at an average of 78.50 and strike rate of 129.75.
  • Max Bryant averages just 14.13 in nine innings vs Thunder and 19.29 in seven innings at Carrara Oval.

Carrara Oval Metricon Stadium Gold Coast Pitch Report and Weather

Scoring big on this ground has proven difficult in recent matches. In three BBL matches last season, the average first innings score was 138.67 (run rate 7.17). The chasing team won two of the three matches.

It was a similar scenario in the T20 between Australia and West Indies in October. Australia crawled to the target of 146 with one ball to spare on a pitch offering some assistance to the seamers and spinners.

There is a chance of a late shower in the Gold Coast tonight, but conditions should be clear for the match. The maximum temperature is 28 degrees.

SIX vs REN Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: BBL 2022/23 Match 18 | SS vs MR Dream11 Prediction Today | SCG Pitch Report

BBL 12 is beginning to take shape. The top sides are beginning to pull away from other challengers. Sydney Sixers and Melbourne Renegades do battle in the quest to move up the table and further confirm their status as one of the better teams in this competition.

Sixers, after a shaky start, are aiming for three straight wins. The most pleasing aspect of their victory against Stars on Boxing Day was Moises Henriques’ return to form. However, there remains some inconsistency at the top of the order, so today is a chance to discover some touch.

Renegades, after three wins of their own, lost in incredible fashion to the Hurricanes on Christmas Eve. Chasing just 123 for victory, some of the old Renegades habits came to the fore, losing their first three wickets inside three overs to hand the advantage. If they do the same here, it will be just as hard to fight back given the Sixers’ well-rounded attack.

BBL 2022/23 Match 18: SIX vs REN Possible Playing XIs

Sixers have named an unchanged squad. They may stick to the same XI that beat Stars, unless they choose to bring in Naveed-ul-Haq and Todd Murphy. Also, Steve O’Keefe is in some doubt as he tweaked his hamstring in the last match.

There is the option of playing Ben Dwarshuis. The left-arm seamer has taken 19 wickets in 11 matches against Renegades at an average of 16.79 and economy of 7.88.

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/Todd Murphy, 10. Jackson Bird/Ben Dwarshuis, 11. Izharulhaq Naveed/Naveed-ul-Haq

Andre Russell is no longer available in BBL 12. But, the Renegades welcome back plenty of experience, with Martin Guptill, Shaun Marsh, Peter Handscomb and Kane Richardson all in the matchday squad. Sam Harper, Jake Fraser-McGurk and Jack Prestwidge have been omitted.

Melbourne Renegades: 1. Martin Guptill, 2. Nic Maddinson (c), 3. Shaun Marsh, 4. Aaron Finch, 5. Peter Handscomb (wk), 6. Jono Wells, 7. Akeal Hosein, 8. Will Sutherland, 9. Tom Rogers/David Moody, 10. Kane Richardson, 11. Mujeeb Ur Rahman

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Sydney Sixers:

  • Josh Philippe often enjoys batting against the Renegades. In eight innings, he has smashed 329 runs at an average of 41.13 and strike rate of 145.58.
  • Philippe has scored 52 runs off 44 deliveries against Kane Richardson, without dismissal. He has also never been dismissed by Mujeeb Ur Rahman (25 off 20 balls).

  • Abbott at the SCG: 41 inns, 64 wickets, avg. 18.31, SR 12.94.

Melbourne Renegades:

  • Nic Maddinson is the Renegades’ leading run-scorer this season (128). However, since his 87 in the first match, he has scored just 41 runs in three games.
  • Maddinson has the second-most runs at the SCG, with 710 in 26 matches at an average of 29.58 and strike rate of 137.60.
  • Shaun Marsh vs Sixers since the start of 2020: 4 inns, 159 runs, avg. 39.75, SR 111.19.
  • Akeal Hosein has taken ten wickets in four matches in BBL 12 at an average of 9.20 and economy of 6.13.

  • Josh Philippe vs Akeal Hosein could be a good battle. In franchise T20, Philippe has scored 164 runs off 100 balls against left-arm orthodox, with five dismissals.
  • Peter Handscomb has scored two half-centuries in four T20s at the SCG.

SCG Pitch Report and Weather

The Sixers-Stars match two days ago was played on a new pitch that was on the slower side. Still, batsmen were able to get in as just eight wickets fell in the match in total, with six of them coming inside the first ten overs.

Spinners and cutters into the wicket could work well today on a square that has had quite a bit of traffic on it since the T20 World Cup.

It is another warm and sunny day in Sydney today with a top of 29 degrees. There is no chance of rain.

THU vs HEA Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: BBL 2022/23 Match 17 | ST vs BH Dream11 Prediction Today | Sydney Showground Pitch Report

The last time Sydney Thunder played on this ground, they set a world record. Unfortunately, it was a record for the lowest score ever in men’s T20s, finishing with a scarcely believable 15 all-out on an embarrassing night.

The Thunder have lost a further two matches since to sit bottom of the league. It is a long season, but the men in green cannot afford to slip further behind as the likes of the Sixers and Hurricanes are beginning to find some of their best touch. Runs up top will be key, as will a team effort with the ball after Fazalhaq Farooqi’s contract was torn up due to behavioural issues.

So, an opportunity awaits for Brisbane Heat. They broke an eight-game losing streak dating back to last season after a stirring win over the Strikers on December 23, and they will be looking to follow that effort up with another here. Sam Billings will play his former team, while the likes of Michael Neser and Mark Steketee are capable of ripping a fragile Thunder lineup to shreds.

BBL 2022/23 Match 17: THU vs HEA Possible Playing XIs

Thunder are yet to officially name their squad. They may play Ben Cutting as Fazalhaq’s replacement.

Sydney Thunder: 1. Alex Hales, 2. Matthew Gilkes (wk), 3. Rilee Rossouw, 4. Oliver Davies, 5. Alex Ross, 6. Daniel Sams, 7. Ben Cutting, 8. Nathan McAndrew, 9. Chris Green (c), 10. Gurinder Sandhu, 11. Brendan Doggett

Heat are also yet to officially name their squad. They could stick with the same XI that beat Strikers.

Brisbane Heat: 1. Max Bryant, 2. Colin Munro, 3. Matt Renshaw, 4. Sam Billings, 5. Jimmy Peirson (c & wk), 6. Ross Whiteley, 7. Michael Neser, 8. James Bazley, 9. Mark Steketee, 10. Matthew Kuhnemann, 11. Mitchell Swepson

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Sydney Thunder:

  • Alex Hales found form in the last match with a 50-ball 68 vs Strikers. He will be looking to improve on his poor record vs Heat: 7 inns, 116 runs, avg. 19.33, SR 143.21.
  • At Sydney Showground, Hales has scored 164 runs in eight matches at an average of 23.43 and strike rate of 156.19.
  • Since the start of September, Rilee Rossouw has scored 276 runs at an average of 69.00 and strike rate of 178.84 when batting first in T20s. When batting second, he has scored just 35 runs in six innings.
  • Oliver Davies has struck scores of 33* and 42 in his last two knocks.
  • Daniel Sams has taken 12 wickets in seven matches vs Heat at an average of 17.67 and economy of 9.49. Also, he has the most wickets on this ground: 15 inns, 28 wickets, avg. 13.46, SR 10.64.
  • Sams has dismissed Max Bryant once in 17 balls (20 runs), Munro once in 21 balls (38 runs), Renshaw once in nine balls (five runs).
  • Gurinder Sandhu has taken eight wickets in six matches for Thunder against Heat (avg. 18.13, econ. 7.63). Sandhu strikes every 21.67 deliveries on this ground.

Brisbane Heat:

  • Sam Billings returns to his former home ground. He didn’t enjoy much success on this ground, with just 61 runs in four innings at an average of 15.25. But, he is a class player and is coming off 79 (48) in the last match.
  • Colin Munro vs Sydney Thunder: 5 inns, 158 runs, avg. 39.50, SR 118.80.
  • Mark Steketee has dismissed Alex Hales twice in 14 balls in the BBL, conceding just nine runs in the process. The seamer comes into this match with seven wickets in three matches so far in this tournament.
  • Steketee vs Thunder: 9 inns, 12 wickets, avg. 21.50, econ. 7.82.
  • Michael Neser is in excellent form, and will be keen to target a Thunder lineup that has struggled against seam this season. The pacer has taken six wickets in BBL 12 at an average of 9.16, including a hat-trick.
  • In 11 career matches vs Thunder, Neser has taken 12 wickets at an economy of just 6.43.

Other Stats and Facts

  • Head-to-head: Matches 16, Thunder 5, Heat 10, N/R 1.
  • Brisbane Heat have won all three matches at Sydney Showground Stadium.
  • Alex Ross vs Heat since December 2019: 6 inns, 146 runs, avg. 36.50, SR 128.07.
  • Daniel Sams has a batting strike rate of 203.08 vs Heat (132 runs, avg. 22.00).
  • Max Bryant averages just 16.00 in eight T20s vs Thunder since January 2019.
  • Jimmy Peirson vs Thunder: 11 inns, 179 runs, avg. 29.83, SR 124.31.

Sydney Showground Stadium Pitch Report and Weather

The last game on this ground saw the seamers run riot. Wes Agar took 4/6 and Henry Thornton 5/3 as they dismantled the Thunder in 5.5 overs.

It will be unwise to expect anything similar in this game, but the bowlers often have a say here. However, batsmen did enjoy batting on this ground in last year’s BBL, with an average first innings score of 171.5 at a run rate of 9.02. Also, the team batting first won three of the four matches.

A warm and clear evening is forecast in Sydney.

5 times Bangladesh were SO CLOSE to a historic Test win

5 times Bangladesh were SO CLOSE to a historic Test win

Cricket News: 5 times Bangladesh were SO CLOSE to a historic Test win | India beat Bangladesh in Dhaka: Heartbreak for the Tigers

Bangladesh were left shattered on Christmas Day as Ravichandran Ashwin and Shreyas Iyer led India to a thrilling three-wicket win in Dhaka.

It was another heartbreak for Bangladesh in the longest format, with wins against big teams few and far between since they were awarded Test status in 2000.

“We can tell heartbreak stories very well, but we can’t tell good stories well. That is the problem,” said captain Shakib Al Hasan following the defeat. How true.

5 times Bangladesh were left heartbroken in Test cricket

Below are five such heartbreaks for Bangladesh in their Test history. Each will bring back bitter memories for their fans, but the hope is they can turn good positions into more victories in the future.

vs Pakistan, Multan, 2003

The day the Inzamam-ul-Haq stood in Bangladesh’s way. The legendary Pakistan batsman struck a memorable 138* to get Pakistan home by just one wicket in a classic Test in Multan in 2003.

Set 261 to win, Pakistan fell to 164/7 and 205/8. But, with support from Umar Gul (5 off 50 balls) and Yasir Ali (1* off 4 balls), Inzamam produced the goods to deny Bangladesh their first ever Test win at the time.

vs Australia, Fatullah, 2006

Embed from Getty Images

Had Bangladesh pulled this off, it would have still been considered Test cricket’s greatest upset to this day. A tired-looking Australia, who were just days off a long tour of South Africa, conceded 355/5 on day one of the series. Bangladesh then ended up scoring 427 to put the pressure on the world number one side that had conquered all before them previously.

On a pitch offering turn and uneven bounce, Australia were in tatters at 93/6. Despite a glorious Adam Gilchrist century and second innings collapse themselves, Bangladesh still set Australia a challenging 307 for victory.

Ricky Ponting led from the front with a superb 118*, but not before a dropped catch by Mashrafe Mortaza at fine leg with the match still in the balance. In the end, the Tigers were left wondering what could have been.

The next Test wasn’t so close as Jason Gillespie hit 201* as a nightwatchman.

vs New Zealand, Chattogram, 2008

This time it was Daniel Vettori who stood in Bangladesh’s way. In the game that Shakib Al Hasan announced himself as a star with nine wickets (including 7/36) and 71, Vettori trumped him with nine wickets and scores of 55* and 76 in one of the great all-round displays.

After getting rolled for 171 in their first dig, New Zealand, like Australia two years earlier, were required to chase 300+ to win. Vettori batted 213 balls for his 76, alongside Aaron Redmond (79 off 237 balls) and Daniel Flynn (49 off 126 balls) to grind Bangladesh down in the Chattogram heat.

It took the Black Caps 137.5 overs to chase 317, with just three wickets to spare. Again, Bangladesh were left to scratch their heads and wonder how they didn’t win.

vs England, Chattogram, 2016

Embed from Getty Images

One of the classic Tests. On a spinning pitch in Chattogram, the match ebbed and flowed to leave viewers on the edge of their seats. England fought to reach 293, Bangladesh stuttered to 248. England then couldn’t bat the Tigers out of the game, scoring 240 to leave a target of 286.

At 227/5 with Mushfiqur Rahim and Sabbir Rahman having put on 87, the Tigers then lost three wickets for 11 runs. Sabbir (64*) combined with Taijul Islam to take Bangladesh to within just 23 for victory, but man of the match Ben Stokes took the final two wickets LBW to seal a memorable 22-run win for England.

Bangladesh’s heartbreak was short-lived, though, as they won the next Test by 108 runs thanks to a 12-wicket haul by Mehidy Masan Miraz in just his second match.

vs India, Mirpur, 2022

And, of course, the 2022 version. Effectively 26/6 in their second innings, Bangladesh looked gone. But, fighting efforts by Litton Das, Nurul Hasan and Taskin Ahmed gave the Tigers a fighting chance with a 144-run lead.

By the end of the third day, it looked to be a fair score. India were 100 away from victory with six wickets in hand. By the 30th over, Bangladesh had the game in their hands having restricted the visitors to 74/7.

But, as has been in the case in the past, the Tigers couldn’t complete the job. A lack of control with the ball, poor fielding and wonderful batting by Shreyas Iyer and Ravichandran Ashwin denied Bangladesh a first-ever Test win over India as they prevailed by three wickets.

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.

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.
