  • Newcastle Vs Liverpool Live Stream, Prediction, Team News, Premier League Live

    Newcastle United FC are all set to host Liverpool for the last Premier League 2020-21 match of the year. The Newcastle vs Liverpool match is scheduled to begin at 1:30 AM IST on December 31 at St. James’ Park, Newcastle. Here are the Newcastle vs Liverpool live stream details, how to watch Newcastle vs Liverpool live in India, Newcastle vs Liverpool prediction and the Newcastle vs Liverpool team news. 

    It will be an interesting encounter as Liverpool take on Newcastle in an away game on Wednesday. With just one loss from the 15 games they have played so far, the defending champions will be looking to break multiple team records at St. James’ Park. The most major record on the line is that a win in this game may help Liverpool record their best-ever run against Newcastle – a total of 6 games won on the trot. The game is also expected to be a high scoring one – Liverpool have scored more goals against Newcastle than any other team – and in the last 68 games between the two teams, not a single one has been goalless. 

  • West Indies no match for Williamson 97*, Latham 86 on opening day

    In the 54th over, Tom Latham bunt a rising delivery towards the forward leg fielder and attempted a quick single. Kane Williamson, at the other end, backed out and sent his partner back. With the ball in the hand of the close-in fielder and the batsman half-way down the pitch, it should’ve been an easy dismissal if the fielder hadn’t missed the direct hit. That was a lot of drama for one ball, but that was about it on a day that promised a lot.

    On a pitch where the shade of green didn’t look any different from that of the outfield, West Indies had elected to field after rain and wet outfield had delayed toss by two hours. However, that would in no way deter Tom Latham and Kane Williamson, who spent several hours undisturbed and unfazed in the middle. Either the grass misrepresented the demons or the West Indies bowlers failed to use it to their advantage. Maybe, both.

    Latham had brushed aside the concerns of the green much before the toss, stating that he has played enough cricket on such wickets, and he put every bit of experience on show – leaving and playing the deliveries with assurance en route his sedate but effective 86.

    Williamson, too, wasn’t much different. There were 23 dot deliveries faced by him, before moving from 49 to his 33rd Test fifty. Untroubled, unflustered and yet in no hurry to cross the landmark — biding his time in the middle, much like Latham was from the other end, to negate the imposing threat. And soon after he nudged a delivery past the point region for a single to bring up his fifty, a duel effort was made to push the scoring rate past the 3-run-an-over mark.
