3️⃣India vs England - 1st Test @ Nottingham -04/08
WEST INDIES vs PAK
This series was supposed to be a match up between West Indian power hitting and Pakistani bowling and all we have got so far is a solitary T20 with the rest two games washed out.
The ones who shone in the only game were Nicholas Pooran with a 62{33), Babar with a 51(40) and (surprise, surprise) Mohd. Hafeez for his bowling. With 4 lefties in the Windies line up, Hafeez bowled 4 overs - 1 maiden - for 6 runs, including 19 dots and a wicket of opener Andre Fletcher for a duck.
According to Cricinfo, West Indies might have to go forward without the opening pair of Lendl Simmons and Evin Lewis. Lewis looked great against the Aussies, piling 4 sixes of 4 consecutive balls.

Australia vs Bangladesh
As I am typing this, the first T20I match of the series is underway. Australia, led by Matthew Wade, after winning the toss, chose to bowl first. This series is important as this seems like the last chance for Australia to fix a squad before the World Cup. Aaron Finch when back from injury should possible make the team. Alex Carey takes his place in the meantime. Ashton Turner makes an appearance too. This is what the team looks like.
