The ICC games that have recently been held
The ODI 2 between West Indies and New Zealand told us a lot. New Zealand is way more powerful right now. Still, New Zealand leads the aggregate 2-0, which speaks volumes. West Indies scored a lot; they pushed so hard. Shai Hope scored a century, making himself still. On the other hand, New Zealand is just taking things slowly, yet in the end, they win and then walk away quietly. That is the coldness that New Zealand brings to the ICC. Devon Conway scored 90 runs in 84 balls. Rachin scored a considerable 56 runs in 46 balls. We could see that New Zealand did not go full explosive. Rachin Ravindra scored five sixers. Devon found gaps to score a solid 13 boundaries. Devon and Rachin both had a solid strike rate of 100+. Both are the ones who took the chase down smoothly.
Zimbabwe dominates the one-off tournaments against Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bowl first. Zimbabwe scored 162 in 20 overs; Sri Lanka was suppressed at 95. This huge gap shows that Zimbabwe is better at fielding and making their opponents chase harder. Brian Bennett scored 49 out of 42. Sikandar Raza scored 47. Though Brian scored 49 runs, Sikandar was considered the player of the match. His bowling performance was considered to be the best in the last game. Everyone was stable; in the end, the game fell into Zimbabwe’s hands. There is a chance that Sri Lanka might be aware of the flow of the game. If Sri Lanka chooses to bat next time, the game changes. Even that wasn’t really guaranteed because Zimbabwe could flip the game’s rhythm in an instant. For articles, follow us for more cricket news with One-off tournaments news.

Most of the key players in New Zealand have been ruled out and sidelined due to injuries. Replacements are expected to be much better. These injuries will have a long-term effect on New Zealand.

Lockie and Ben Sears are also undergoing hamstring injuries. Ben has missed a few games and is now ruled out for the upcoming game as well.
West Indies

Looking at these injuries, the West Indies are surely not going to perform efficiently.
India
Shubman Gill has a neck spasm. He was confirmed to be ruled out of the second Test vs. South Africa. He is traveling to Mumbai for further assessment. Rishabh Pant is the stand-in captain for the upcoming game. He has suffered from a foot fracture. Then he recovered and is back in the squad for the South Africa series. Jasprit Bumrah is undergoing a back spasm, which is obviously a longer-term issue. He has been out of action for a prolonged period, missing significant tournaments earlier in the year. Now he is right back in the squad for the upcoming South Africa series. Without Shubman Gill, the captaincy was transferred to Pant. The entire gameplay could change in the forthcoming game. The old gameplay is not expected to return in the upcoming one. These Key injuries will have a profound effect on the team’s performance in these upcoming games.
South Africa

Made a return from injury in the first Test against India. Now he is still in form to be featured in the 2nd test against India. As the Captain recovered, the gameplay and the form would not go down a different path. The gameplay is expected to be sharp, yet the performance could go a little slower. Players will return to the forthcoming India series in a few days.
Pakistan
Saim Ayub is undergoing an ankle fracture. He was confirmed to be sidelined for six weeks after an injury in January 2025 during the Test series against South Africa. He then recovered and was back in the squad for the upcoming game against Sri Lanka. Fakhar Zaman is suffering from a hamstring injury. He also sustained an oblique muscle strain. He recovered and is now back in the team; his left-handed batting surely contributes a lot to the team.

He is not expected to be in the upcoming Sri Lanka series. Naseem Shah is undergoing a shoulder injury. He also underwent surgery for a shoulder injury, causing him to miss a few months of cricket.

His captaincy could change the gameplay a lot more than the fans expect. Asitha Fernando is reported to be ill. He is not expected to be in the upcoming Pakistan series. Sri Lanka’s performance in this upcoming series is clearly doubtful. Although there is not much damage to the squad, the efficiency of the team is expected to be impacted. There are no other injuries in this Pakistan team, and most of them are either ruled out or recovered. The recovered players are not really guaranteed to pull off a better performance. The overall performance of the team could be lower than usual.
Predictions
New Zealand vs West Indies
New Zealand vs West Indies is going to take place tomorrow at Seddon Park. New Zealand seems to be in better form compared to the West Indies. The reason that the West Indies are far more behind than New Zealand is their gameplay. Now, the West Indies was captained by Shai Hope, and the gameplay and the strategy could change a lot. We don’t know what is yet to come, but the gameplay will answer our questions. New Zealand, on the other hand, is led by Mitchell Santner. Both teams have their own style of captaincy; the question is, who will take the dominance? West Indies’ injuries are the ones which is going to enhance their downfall even more. New Zealand has lost several players to injury. But their current players and the form of the squad are good. The game is more anticipated for New Zealand to win.
India vs South Africa
India vs South Africa is going to take place from the 22nd to the 26th of this month. The upcoming game is confirmed to be at Barsapara Stadium. Shubman Gill is currently not leading this game. So, how far could this game change? The entire tempo of the game was carried out by Shubman Gill for the past few games. Now, all of a sudden, it’s in the hands of Rishabh Pant. Expect a drastic change in the gameplay of India towards this upcoming game. On the other hand, we have South Africa, which has been led by Temba for so long. India’s fielding is tight, and they are not afraid of chasing down the score. South Africa could use the chance to find gaps in Pant’s captaincy. Regardless of South Africa’s effort, India is going to secure victory in this upcoming game against South Africa.
Pakistan vs Sri Lanka
This is the rival that has the closest chance. Both teams have the capability to pull the game towards themselves. Pakistan, from right now, is under the captaincy of Salman Ali. Their gameplay is definitely going to be explosive. Also, the Sri Lanka performance could change the entire game around. Dasun is capable of shifting and turning the team’s formation to adapt to the game. Both have their pros and cons, yet Pakistan is much more favorable. The Pakistanis are now so good that they could steer the game. They can take control of the entire game for now. But for Sri Lanka, they rely more on how the game goes for them, instead they trying to adapt to it. In the end, Pakistan is expected to conquer the entire stadium. Sri Lanka is unlikely to do much due to injuries. Pakistan will secure the victory in this game.
