IPL 9, Match 4: RCB v SRH Live social feeds

The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will start the season playing at home at the M Chinnaswami Stadium in Bengaluru. Sunrisers Hyderabad are the visitors and it will be a challenge for them to play against the home team. Virat Kohli is batting like a dream and with the likes of AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle for company. Traditionally RCB have done well at home while SRH isn't a really good travelling team and the fact that they have changed the team a bit, will need time to settle and get going. A lot of their batting will depend on Shikhar Dhawan and skipper David Warner and the quality of start they give them, not to forget they have a really strong bowling attack with the likes of Nehra and Mustafizur.

World T20 2016 final: West Indies v England Live social feeds

It’s the big night of the final. Darren Sammy’s West Indies takes on Eoin Morgan & Co. at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Both the teams will rely on their batting firepower to get the big runs and will expect their bowlers to halt the opposition hitters. At this point isn’t easy for anybody to predict but looks like Darren Sammy will become the only captain to win the trophy a record second time.

World T20 2nd Semi-Final: India v West Indies Live social feeds

Home team India take on West Indies in the 2nd semi-final of the World T20 2016 at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Both the teams seem to know each other’s strengths and weaknesses given that most of the players are a part of the IPL. The battle will be more about the Indian bowlers and Chris Gayle. Whoever has the upper hand will be half-way ahead in the match. Will the Indian top order click? Virat Kohli has been phenomenal but MS Dhoni would want others to jump in and score big as well. The Indian bowlers have been spot on and this has probably been the best thing for the team; but the Windies bowlers haven’t done badly either. In the end it all boils down to how the teams cope up with the pressure of the semi-final and who puts a stronger performance on the night.

World T20 1st semi-final: England v New Zealand Live social feeds

England and New Zealand will battle it out in the 1st semi-final of the ICC World T20 2016 at the Feroz Shah Kotla, in New Delhi. While New Zealand has been unbeaten in the tournament thus far and marched their way through beating all their opponents, England registered a couple of super wins, pulling off the highest successful run-chase in World T20 history. Going by the cricketing logics New Zealand should sail though, given they have a settled attack and the momentum on their side but this Eoin Morgan led England side definitely has the potential to pull off a surprise win and stun the Black Caps on the big night.
