The second game in Group 2 of the Super Eights has England facing off against the West Indies at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St. Lucia. In the first stage of the tournament, England finished second in Group B, while West Indies topped Group C. England managed to keep their T20 World Cup hopes alive by winning their last two group games against Oman and Namibia. Before that, they were in a tough spot with a no-result against Scotland and a loss to Australia. This match will be a bigger challenge compared to their recent games. On the other hand, West Indies cruised through their matches against PNG and Uganda, faced a tough battle with New Zealand, but then dominated Afghanistan in Match 40. With strong performances both with the bat and ball, they are confident heading into this game against the reigning champions. West Indies hit 218/5 in the last game at this venue so we can expect another good batting wicket. There will be some turn but overall it w

After suffering their worst-ever opening defeat at the men's European Championships, Scotland aims to regain their pride on Wednesday when they face Switzerland in Euro 2024 Group A in Cologne. Steve Clarke's team was embarrassed 5-1 by hosts Germany, while Switzerland managed to avoid a similar fate by defeating Hungary 3-1. Due to a straight red card in the loss to Germany, Scotland will be without the suspended Porteous for Wednesday's game and their final group match against Hungary. Either Grant Hanley or Scott McKenna will fill in at the back. Porteous's offense initially carried a one-game ban, but UEFA increased his punishment, likely ending his tournament. McKenna's header was deflected into the German net by Rudiger on Friday, but Hanley is expected to get the nod from Clarke, who may also make a few changes further up the field. Billy Gilmour, surprisingly left out against Germany, is a strong candidate for the starting lineup, while Che Adams, who strugg

An almost perfect evening for Germany against Scotland saw none of Nagelsmann's players pick up any knocks, and both fans and neutrals were pleased to see Gundogan emerge unharmed from Porteous's sickening challenge, having caught the Barcelona man on the ankle with the full force of his studs. Indeed, Nagelsmann confirmed at his pre-game press conference that he has everyone fit and available for matchday two, although he has stressed that in-game alterations could once again be pivotal to his side's hopes of an emphatic success. Gundogan is expected to form a part of an unchanged XI for the tournament hosts, working in tandem with man-of-the-match Musiala and Bayer Leverkusen hotshot Wirtz, now the youngest German man to score a goal at the European Championships. As Robert Andrich and Jonathan Tah were both booked against Scotland, they run the risk of sitting out the final group game versus Switzerland if they pick up a yellow card on Wednesday, although it may be prefe

With both teams needing a win, Croatia and Albania face off in Hamburg on Wednesday afternoon, determined not to fall further behind in Group B. After losing their Euro 2024 openers last weekend, both teams are eager to keep their tournament hopes alive. Croatia's coach, Zlatko Dalic, might shake things up after their sluggish start against Spain.  Manchester City's Josko Gvardiol could return to central defense, possibly replacing Marin Pongracic, while Borna Sosa might come in at left-back. There’s also talk of dropping Marcelo Brozovic to give Luka Sucic or Mario Pasalic a chance in midfield. Even though Luka Modric only played 65 minutes, he made the most line-breaking passes (13) in Saturday's game, and he'll be crucial again for the Vatreni. The front three is expected to stay the same, despite Bruno Petkovic missing a penalty, especially since veteran winger Ivan Perisic isn’t fully fit after a long injury layoff. Torino forward Nikola Vlasic is out for the res

Group F at Euro 2024 kicks off on Tuesday evening in Dortmund with a crucial match between Turkey and Georgia. Portugal and the Czech Republic are also in this group, and while Portugal is the clear favorite to top the table, the other three teams are vying for the second spot.  Turkey has faced some setbacks, losing Enes Unal, Caglar Soyuncu, and Ozan Kabak to injuries. Additionally, Dogan Alemdar, Cenk Ozkacar, Berat Ozdemir, Can Uzun, Abdulkadir Omur, and Oguz Aydin were cut from the preliminary squad. Kerem Akturkoglu, who has scored five goals in 29 appearances for Turkey, will start in the attack. Juventus' Kenan Yildiz is expected to play in the number 10 role, likely behind Baris Alper Yilmaz.  Merih Demiral is set to start in central defense, while Hakan Calhanoglu will captain the team from midfield. Real Madrid's Arda Guler is also expected to start, having impressed at the club level last season. For Georgia, Solomon Kvirkvelia is expected to recover from an in

One of the top contenders for this summer's European Championship, Portugal, will kick off their Euro 2024 journey on Tuesday evening against the Czech Republic at Leipzig Stadium. Portugal is seen as a strong favorite to win the tournament in Germany, while the Czech Republic aims to advance from a group that also includes Turkey and Georgia. Portugal's head coach, Martinez, has several tough choices to make for his team selection on Tuesday, given the squad's depth. While some key players will start on the bench, 39-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo is set to lead the attack, hoping to add to his 130 international goals. Ronaldo is on the brink of making history by appearing in his sixth European Championship and aiming to become the oldest player to score in the competition. Veteran defender Pepe, who will be 41 years and 113 days old when Portugal begins their campaign, is expected to start in defense, making him the oldest player in the tournament's history.

The West Indies and Afghanistan, both at the top of the standings, are set to face off in the 40th match of the T20 World Cup 2024. This exciting game will take place at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia, on June 17, 2024, starting at 6:00 AM IST on June 18. The West Indies, co-hosts and two-time champions, have been in top form this tournament, winning three consecutive matches. A win against Afghanistan would secure their position at the top of the group stage. Afghanistan has also been impressive, notably defeating a strong New Zealand team by 84 runs. They, too, are on a three-match winning streak and have yet to lose in this T20 World Cup. They’ll be looking to continue their excellent performance and potentially finish at the top of the points table. The pitch at Daren Sammy Stadium offers a good batting track which has a lot of runs in it. Any team with a quality batting line-up will be able to chase high targets here. Both pacers and spinners wi

The Merkur Spiel-Arena in Dusseldorf will host the final Euro 2024 match on Monday, featuring in-form Austria against title favorites France in Group D. Austria has never made it past the round of 16 in the European Championships, while France, with two titles, is looking to redeem itself after a disappointing run three years ago. Austria is missing some key players, including David Alaba and Sasa Kalajdzic due to ACL injuries, and Xaver Schlager, who has a serious knee problem.  Live Match - Animation Tracker $ads={2} Mobile - France vs Austria Best - France vs Austria Fast - France vs Austria Fast - France vs Austria Fast - France vs Austria Best - France vs Austria Link 1 - France vs Austria Link 2 - France vs Austria Link 3 - France vs Austria Link 4 - France vs Austria Link 5 - France vs Austria Link 6 - France vs Austria Link 7 - France vs Austria Link 8

Belgium and Slovakia will kick off their Euro 2024 Group E campaigns on Monday evening with an exciting match at Frankfurt Arena. Romania and Ukraine are also in this group, making it a highly competitive section. Both Belgium and Slovakia are eager to start strong. Unfortunately, Belgium will be without Jan Vertonghen and Arthur Theate due to injuries, and Thomas Meunier is also doubtful. Belgium is expected to play in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with their top scorer, Romelu Lukaku, leading the attack. Lukaku has scored 85 goals in 115 appearances for Belgium, and the 31-year-old will be crucial to their success in the tournament. Manchester City stars Jeremy Doku and Kevin De Bruyne will be key players, while the defensive absences might give Maxim De Cuyper, the Club Brugge defender, a chance to earn his third cap. Axel Witsel will likely be in central defense, alongside Leicester City's Wout Faes. In midfield, Everton's Amadou Onana and Orel Mangala are expected to start, with

Euro 2024's Group D kicks off with Poland facing the Netherlands at Hamburg's Volksparkstadion on Sunday. Poland barely made it to the finals through a nerve-wracking playoff, while the Netherlands cruised through qualification and are aiming for their second European title.  Poland will miss their star forward Robert Lewandowski, who is their top scorer at the Euros with five of their 11 goals. Juventus striker Arkadiusz Milik is also out with a knee injury, adding to his run of bad luck. Live Match - Animation Tracker $ads={2} Lewandowski just returned to individual training and might be available for next week’s matches. This leaves coach Michal Probierz needing to adjust his attack. Karol Swiderski is back in shape after an ankle injury and might play as a 'false nine,' or the more traditional options of Adam Buksa or Krzysztof Piatek could lead the line. Several Serie A players are in the mix for Sunday’s game. Bologna's 19-year-old wing

It's the final match of Group B, with England facing off against Namibia in Antigua on Saturday. Defending champions England are coming off a dominant win over Oman and are eager to secure their second victory of the tournament. Namibia, meanwhile, hopes to finish their campaign on a high note by upsetting the highly favored English team. Namibia (NAM) started the T20 World Cup with a thrilling Super Over win against Oman. However, they were outplayed by Australia in their next match and subsequently lost to Scotland, ending their hopes of reaching the Super 8 stages. Despite this, captain Gerhard Erasmus remains proud and is focused on taking away the positives from their campaign. England (ENG) had a massive victory against Oman, winning with 101 balls to spare. This win keeps their hopes alive for advancing to the Super 8 stage. They could still make it to the next phase of the tournament as the second-place team if Australia defeats Scotland. In Thursday’s game at this venue we

Italy will begin defending their European title with a Group B clash against Albania on Saturday evening, marking the start of their Euro 2024 campaign. The Azzurri aim to win back-to-back Euros, while their neighbors Albania hope to advance from the group stage in only their second major tournament appearance. Italy’s coach, Luciano Spalletti, had to make adjustments to his preliminary 30-man squad due to injuries. Francesco Acerbi (groin) and Giorgio Scalvini (ACL) are out, joined by Nicolo Zaniolo, Domenico Berardi, Destiny Udogie, and suspended midfielder Sandro Tonali. On a brighter note, Davide Frattesi and Nicolo Fagioli—despite Fagioli's limited playtime due to a betting ban—along with Nicolo Barella, who led Italy in assists and chances during qualifying, are all expected to recover from minor muscle issues. Spalletti has been experimenting with different formations and players recently. However, captain Gianluigi Donnarumma is a definite starter in goal. Up front, the c

The much-anticipated opening match of Group B at this summer's European Championship will take place in Berlin on Saturday, featuring a clash between Spain and Croatia. Spain, three-time winners of the European Championship and semi-finalists in Euro 2020, face a Croatian team that has never advanced past the quarter-finals in this competition. Spain's head coach, De la Fuente, has kept his lineup plans under wraps, creating some uncertainty about the starting XI. Live Match - Animation Tracker Mikel Merino and Dani Olmo are possible starters, though they might begin on the bench, with Fabian Ruiz and Nico Williams potentially starting instead. Aymeric Laporte was expected to start, but a muscular issue kept him out of training on Thursday, so Nacho is likely to step in at central defense. Lamine Yamal, at just 16 years old, is set to become the youngest player to ever appear in a European Championship, expected to start on the right for Spain. Dani Carvajal, fresh

Hungary and Switzerland are set to begin their Euro 2024 journeys with a Group A match at RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne on Saturday afternoon. Joining them in Group A are Scotland and hosts Germany, who will kick off the tournament in Munich on Friday night. Hungary’s captain, Dominik Szoboszlai, had a minor hamstring issue during a friendly win over Israel but is fit and ready to play. The Liverpool midfielder will be in an advanced role alongside Roland Sallai, who is about to earn his 50th cap. Coach Rossi is likely to use a 3-4-2-1 formation, featuring Adam Lang, Willi Orban, and Attila Szalai in central defense, with experienced goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi behind them. Loic Nego and Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez are expected to serve as wing-backs, with Adam Nagy and Andras Schafer in midfield. Barnabas Varga, who netted 29 goals for Ferencvaros last season, is set to lead the attack. For Switzerland, Steven Zuber suffered a calf injury during a friendly against Austria and only manage

All the teams in Group A are looking forward to leaving New York and heading to Florida for the final round. Rohit Sharma and his team have already secured their spot in the Super 8 stage with a win over the USA. Meanwhile, Canada faces elimination if the USA vs. Ireland game gets rained out or if the USA wins. India has been on a winning streak, securing three consecutive victories, and they aim to make it four. Rohit Sharma knows that winning this next game is crucial since points will carry over to the Super 8 stage. The Indian team had to dig deep to win their three challenging games in New York, especially against Pakistan. Canada started their campaign with a loss to co-hosts USA, but bounced back with a significant win over Canada, marking their first victory in the T20 World Cup. However, their hopes took a hit with a subsequent loss to Pakistan, making it tough for them to advance to the next stage. Moving from the tough pitch in New York, we are in Florida now and the ave

South Africa, having already secured a spot in the Super 8s of the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup, is aiming for a perfect record as they face off against the struggling Nepal on Saturday, June 15, at the Arnos Vale Stadium in Kingstown, Saint Vincent. This will be the first-ever international clash between the Proteas and the Rhinos, set to be match number 31 of the T20 World Cup 2024. Under the leadership of Adrian Markram, South Africa has amassed 6 points from their three consecutive wins. Despite some close calls, they triumphed over Sri Lanka by 6 wickets, the Netherlands by 4 wickets, and Bangladesh by 4 runs, earning them a place in the tournament’s main stage. In contrast, Nepal is still searching for their first victory in this tournament. With their second match against Sri Lanka ending in a washout, the team, led by Rohit Paudel, has only 1 point and sits in the second-to-last position in Group D. To advance to the Super 8, the Rhinos will need to win their remaining matches agai

Fans are eagerly anticipating the start of Euro 2024 as they gather at the Allianz Arena in Munich this Friday. The hosts, Germany, kick off the tournament against Scotland in Group A. For Germany, this tournament is a golden opportunity to bounce back from recent disappointments and aim for glory reminiscent of their 1972, 1980, and 1996 championship wins. On the other hand, Scotland has more modest goals. They're looking to make their first knockout-round appearance and will play their 10th match at the Euros under the bright lights of the Allianz Arena. Scotland has had some success in the group stages before, winning one match in both the 1992 and 1996 editions, but they bowed out early each time. Their return to the Euros in 2021 was tough, failing to secure a single victory and earning just one point from three matches. This was followed by their inability to qualify for the World Cup, continuing a drought that dates back to 1998. Despite these struggles, Scotland's Eu

USA and Ireland will square off in the 30th match of the T20 World Cup 2024. The game is set for June 14, 2024, at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium in Lauderhill, Florida, starting at 8:00 PM IST. The USA is having a fantastic debut in the T20 World Cup, having defeated Canada and Pakistan to secure 4 points, placing them 2nd on the table.

Group C is heating up as Afghanistan faces Papua New Guinea in their second-to-last match of the group stage. Afghanistan just needs a win against PNG to knock out New Zealand and secure a spot in the Super 8. On the other hand, PNG, having lost their first two matches, will be aiming for an upset. Afghanistan kicked off their campaign with a massive 125-run victory over Uganda and then stunned New Zealand. Fazalhaq Farooqi and Rashid Khan shined with the ball, while Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran led the batting charge. $ads={2} Papua New Guinea started their tournament with a hard-fought loss to West Indies. Their defeat to Uganda was especially tough, as they had reduced their opponents to 26/5 before a dropped catch shifted the momentum. Now, they'll look to turn their fortunes around against Afghanistan. The match will be played at the Brian Lara stadium in Trinidad. The pitch will assist the spinners but batters should be able to score runs if they spend so

England faces a crucial game as the defending T20 World Cup champions teeter on the edge of an early exit. Jos Buttler and his team must win their match against Oman to stay in the competition and aim to dominate the tournament's newcomers. England's campaign began with a rain-affected match against Scotland, resulting in no result. A subsequent 36-run defeat to Australia left England with just one point from two games. To advance, England must now convincingly defeat both Oman and Namibia, while hoping Australia defeats Scotland. Oman, already eliminated from the tournament after a third consecutive loss to Scotland, has nothing left to play for except the role of spoilers against England. This is a good batting wicket in Antigua which offers some turn but also good carry. The top pace bowlers will take the pitch out of the equation and nail their yorkers or produce strong slower balls to be successful here at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. A par score will be over 180 in
