<h2>Who Will Win the 1st Match Of the Asia Cup 2025?</h2>

Afghanistan&#39;s greater experience, more potent spin attack, bowling depth, and steady T20 form make them the clear favorites going into the match. Despite their energy, Hong Kong does not have the penetration in spin and speed choices to continuously stifle Afghanistan&#39;s strong lineup.

Recently, news came that New Zealand added allrounder <a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/zak-foulkes-maiden-test-call-up-after-smiths-injuries/2459" style="text-decoration:none">Zak Foulkes will play his maiden test</a>. Now for Will O&#39;Rourke, a promising fast bowler for New Zealand, will not play in the second Test match against Zimbabwe, which is set to start in Bulawayo on August 7, 2025. The tall bowler sustained a back ailment and will travel back to New Zealand for treatment after showing impressive numbers of 3 for 28 in the first Test&#39;s second innings.

<h2>Injury &amp; Replacement</h2>

After his impactful bowling time, O&#39;Rourke complained of back tension, so team medics pulled him from the game. Following evaluations, it was determined that he needed to rest and recover. Ben Lister, a left-arm seamer, has already been brought to Zimbabwe as injury cover and is expected to start in the second Test.

<h2>Career Highlight</h2>

O&#39;Rourke has made a big impression on the Test scene at the young age of 22. With statistics of 9/93 against South Africa in February 2024, the England-born seamer, who stands at nearly 1.97m, made news by becoming the youngest New Zealander to take nine wickets on Test debut.

He has played 11 Test matches as of July 30, 2025, taking 39 wickets at an average of 24.28, including two five-wicket hauls, which showed his growing importance in New Zealand&#39;s speed arsenal.&nbsp;

<h3>Implications for the Series</h3>

New Zealand dominated the opening Test and now leads the two-Test series 1-0. Depending on the circumstances, selectors may rely more on seasoned candidates like Tim Southee, Matt Henry, or Mitchell Santner in O&#39;Rourke&#39;s absence.

&nbsp;

New Zealand’s fast bowler Will’O Rourke missed the second and final test against Zimbabwe at Bulawayo, due to a back injury.

The Netherlands men&#39;s cricket team will play Bangladesh in a three-match T20 International series in Dhaka from August 30 to September 3, 2025, before the <a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/asia-cup-2025-full-schedule-ind-v-pak-on-sep-14-begins-sep-9-to-28/2443" style="text-decoration:none">Asia Cup 2025</a>, which will start from September 9 in the UAE.&nbsp;

If it conforms, this will be Bangladesh&#39;s first-ever bilateral Twenty20 International series against the Netherlands. The matches were part of a global event rather than a bilateral trip, even though the sides met during the 2024 T20 World Cup.

<h2>Historical Head-to-Head</h2>

In the five Twenty20 Internationals that Bangladesh and the Netherlands have played, Bangladesh has won four and the Netherlands has won one.

Their most recent meeting took place at the 2024 T20 World Cup, where Bangladesh defeated the Dutch by 25 runs at the Arnos Vale Stadium. Shakib Al Hasan led the team with a tough 64* and contributed with the ball, while Litton Das commanded it.

After India scored 224 and then 396, England was held to 247 thanks in large part to the support of Prasidh Krishna (4/62).

The young all-rounder Zakary &quot;Zak&quot; Foulkes has been given the chance to make his Test debut by New Zealand after Nathan Smith suffered an abdominal injury while on tour in Zimbabwe. The Test squad has picked 22-year-old Foulkes as Smith&#39;s replacement after he was ruled out for two to four weeks.

<h2>Career Highlight</h2>

Age and Role: 21&ndash;22 years old, medium all-rounder with a right arm (bats and bowls).

Domestic Credentials: With 14 wickets at an average of 16.28 and a remarkable T20 batting strike rate of 150, he was Canterbury&#39;s top wicket-taker in the 2023&ndash;24 Super Smash. He has also participated in first-class cricket, bowling at an average of about 26 and taking 50 wickets in 17 games.

T20I Experience: One ODI appearance in November 2024, along with seven T20Is for New Zealand, with nine wickets

Jos Root and Harry Brook&rsquo;s century. England goes for the historical chase.&nbsp;

<h2>Day 4 Summary</h2>

<h3>Momentum swings to India, Brook and Root take control</h3>

England was left reeling at 106/3 before lunch as Ben Duckett (54) and Ollie Pope (27), who started with the intention, were dismissed by Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj, respectively.&nbsp;Pope&#39;s LBW and Duckett&#39;s edge to slip demonstrated India&#39;s tactical discipline in cloudy conditions.

<h3>Brook and Root take control</h3>

Joe Root and Harry Brook forged a vital 195-run partnership, keeping England in the box seat despite early breakthroughs. Root anchored with a brilliant 105, then Brook exploded with a scorching 111 off 98 balls.

The game changed course when Mohammed Siraj caught Brook at fine leg but stepped on the boundary, converting a catch into a six and saving a possible wicket.

In addition to being an emotional tribute to his guru Graham Thorpe, Root&#39;s century tied him with Sunil Gavaskar on 39 Test tons.

<h3>Weather Impact</h3>

Prasidh Krishna struck twice in quick succession to remove Joe Root and Jacob Bethell as England edged closer to victory, pulling India back into the match. Root was dismissed just a few runs away from winning.&nbsp;If Chris Woakes fails to bat on the last day due to injury, England will be reduced to a three-wicket chase.&nbsp;Play ended early due to rain and waning light, stopping England&#39;s assault at 339/6 with 73.2 overs bowled.

 
&nbsp;

<h2>Overview Day 4: England Goes for a Historical Chase, India Needs Miraculous</h2>

With a successful run chase of 374, England would surpass the previous record of 253 established by the West Indies in 1963 and create a new record at The Oval.

With disciplined seam bowling and a comeback from their big pacers, India may yet gain ground. With both teams still hanging in the balance, Day 5 promises to be an exciting conclusion.

ENG v IND 2025 5th Test Day 4: Root’s Ton, England Need 35 Runs

On 2nd August, on day 3 of the <a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/eng-vs-ind-5th-test-match-2025-dream11-prediction/2445" style="text-decoration:none">5th test match of India&#39;s tour of England 2025</a> at the Oval, Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a century of 118 runs, as India was all out for 396, England got the target of 374 runs. At the end of day 3, England 50 for 2.

<h2>Day 3 Summary&nbsp;</h2>

<h3>Yashasvi Jaiswal carved a majestic 118, Akash Deep, deployed as nightwatchman</h3>

Yashasvi Jaiswal skillfully and gracefully led the innings with a brilliant 118. He received a lot of congratulations for his knock, which was the second century of the series.

As nightwatchman, Akash Deep turned the tide with a brilliant 66, confusing England&#39;s seamers and creating a crucial 107-run partnership with Jaiswal. His heroic performance set records that Gautam Gambhir had previously held.

With half-centuries from Washington Sundar (53) and Ravindra Jadeja (53), lower-order resistance persisted, extending India&#39;s lead and giving the total more depth. With his knock, Jadeja broke the record held by Garry Sobers for the most runs at No. 6 or below in an away series.

<h3>England&rsquo;s outstanding bowling, with struggling fielding</h3>

With a five-wicket haul, Josh Tongue of England stole the show and tied Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj for the series lead in wickets. There were a few positive aspects, including his performance.

England&#39;s ability to limit India&#39;s run-scoring was seriously weakened when they dropped five or six catches. The pressure was only increased by their fielding errors. Their challenge was further undermined by injuries; Chris Woakes is questionable owing to a broken shoulder.

At the end of the day, Mohammed Siraj took a crucial wicket by bowling a superb yorker to Zak Crawley, leaving England with just one wicket remaining.

<h2>Overview Day 3: India Controls The Final Test</h2>

India is currently in complete control of the last Test match and just needs to make one more breakthrough to win and tie the series at two. India looks closer to putting on the final clash than ever before, thanks to England&#39;s injuries and fielding mistakes.
