Introduction
Saturday, 14 November 2026, has a final at its heart. Thirty-five matches are scheduled across nine countries, but the one that will draw the most eyes starts first: Pakistan Under-19s against India Under-19s in the Asia Cup final at Al Amerat, a rematch of a group game Pakistan won on a century. Around it, the day fills in fast — finals day in the CSA T20 Challenge and the Victoria Series, three T10 games in Abu Dhabi, one NPL game in Kirtipur with a disputed start time, and two domestic seasons opening in India and New Zealand.
Every time here is the local time at the ground, and the date is the venue's date as well — nothing is converted to one timezone. Yesterday's schedule covered 15 matches, and the day delivered: a drawn Test in Rawalpindi, a 244-run win for New Zealand, and a debut six-for in Perth. Today is busier, and it starts with a final.
Today at a Glance
The full list, at a glance. The Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy's 19 games are grouped into one row, with the four start times.
*The NPL site says 5:00 PM NPT for Match 26, but Cricinfo says 4:30 PM NPT — see the NPL section.
International Matches
U19 Asia Cup Final — Pakistan U19 vs India U19, Al Amerat
The headline match of the day starts at 9:00 AM GST at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground in Oman, and it is the rematch everyone wanted. Pakistan U19 beat Bangladesh by nine wickets in their semi-final — Bangladesh 138, Rizwanullah taking 5 for 30 — and India U19 beat Afghanistan by eight wickets, Lakshya Raichandani making 93. Pakistan already beat India once in this tournament, in the group stage, on Hamza Zahoor's century. India will have spent the last two days thinking about that innings; Pakistan will be thinking about repeating it.
Both teams have won every game that mattered since the group stage, Pakistan's bowling did the damage in their semi-final and India's batting did it in theirs. Whoever holds their nerve in the first ten overs at Al Amerat will probably hold the trophy.
Afghanistan vs Zimbabwe — 2nd Test, Day 2, Sharjah
Day 2 of the second Test starts at 10:00 AM GST at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium — and the start time needs a correction. Some listings say 9:00 AM GST, but the match details confirm a 10:00 AM start. At stumps on Day 1, Zimbabwe were 250 for 5, with Brendan Taylor 96 not out and Kaia on 96, and debutant Maroofkhil had taken 4 for 118.
Zimbabwe made Test history in the first Test in Sharjah last week, scoring 500-plus in both innings for the first time, Ervine's double hundred headlining a record-breaking draw. Afghanistan will want a result this time; Zimbabwe will want more of the same.
West Indies A vs England Lions — 4th Unofficial ODI, Basseterre
The fourth unofficial ODI starts at 2:00 PM local time at Warner Park in Basseterre, and the series is already settled — England Lions lead 3-0. This one is about pride for West Indies A and about keeping the clean sweep intact for the Lions. A 4-0 whitewash on tour would be a statement; a consolation win at home would give West Indies A something to take from the series.
League and T20 Matches
Nepal Premier League — Match 26, Kirtipur
There is only one NPL match today, Biratnagar Kings against Lumbini Lions at the TU Ground in Kirtipur — and the start time is disputed again. The official NPL site says 5:00 PM NPT, but Cricinfo and several listings say 4:30 PM NPT. It is the same flip-flop as Matches 23 and 25, both corrected from 5:00 PM to 4:30 PM while the schedule table was never updated. The table gives 5:00 PM as the official time, but the recent pattern points to 4:30 PM — check on the day.
Lumbini Lions are the form side of this fixture. They were the first team to seal a playoff spot, D'Arcy Short's 46 and two wickets for 13 beating Karnali Yaks by four wickets in Match 23. Biratnagar Kings beat Pokhara Avengers in Match 22 on Sandeep Lamichhane's six-for, so both sides arrive with a match-winning performance behind them.
Abu Dhabi T10 — Matches 16, 17 and 18, Sheikh Zayed Stadium
Three more T10 games at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium. Match 16: Royal Desert Champions against United Tigers at 3:30 PM GST. Match 17: Arabian Aces against Emirates Eagles at 5:45 PM GST. Match 18: Yas Lions against UAE Bulls at 8:00 PM GST. With the qualifier and the final on 20 November, every result is starting to shape the playoff race.
CSA T20 Challenge — Finals Day, Newlands, Cape Town
The CSA T20 Challenge reaches its finals day at Newlands in Cape Town, all three games on the same day. The first semi-final, Warriors against Boland, starts at 9:30 AM SAST. The second, Lions against Western Province, starts at 2:00 PM SAST. The final follows at 6:30 PM SAST, so the winners have only a few hours to turn around — and the losers go home.
One correction: some listings put these semi-finals on Friday 13 November. That was wrong — no semi-final was played on 13 November; the Super Eight ended on 11 and 12 November, and the semi-finals and final are all today.
WBBL|12 — Matches 21 and 22
Match 21 is Hobart Hurricanes Women against Brisbane Heat Women at 3:40 PM AEDT at Bellerive Oval in Hobart. It shows up as Friday 13 November in US listings, but venue-local it is Saturday 14 November — there was no WBBL match venue-local on 13 November. Match 22 follows at the WACA in Perth: Perth Scorchers Women against Adelaide Strikers Women at 4:10 PM AWST.
Victoria Series — Finals Day, Entebbe
The Women's Victoria T20I Series in Entebbe reaches its finals day. The third-place play-off, Namibia Women against USA Women, starts at 9:30 AM EAT, and the final, Uganda Women against Rwanda Women, starts at 2:00 PM EAT. The round-robin ended on 12 November with Uganda beating USA by 14 runs and Rwanda beating Namibia by four wickets, so the final pairs the two strongest sides — and the hosts will have the home crowd behind them.
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy — Opening Day
India's domestic T20 season starts today with 19 matches across the country — 16 Elite games and 3 Plate games — spread across four start times: 9:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 1:30 PM and 4:30 PM IST. The league stage runs to 26 November. The fixtures are listed in the table above; the tournament's shape, rather than any single game, is the story of the opening day.
Hallyburton Johnstone Shield — Opening Day
New Zealand's women's one-day competition starts today as well, with two games at 10:30 AM NZDT: Auckland Hearts against Wellington Blaze, and Central Hinds against Northern Districts Women — the first domestic one-day action of the New Zealand summer for the women's sides.
What Is Not on Today
Two things that look like today's matches are not. The ICC Women's Emerging Nations Trophy has a rest day today — no matches on 14 November. Day 3 is on Sunday 15 November: Thailand Women against Zimbabwe Women and Pakistan Women against Netherlands Women at 9:00 AM GST, then Scotland Women against UAE Women and Sri Lanka Women against Papua New Guinea Women at 1:15 PM GST, all in Ajman. Some schedule tables list those Day 3 games as 14 November — wrong.
There is also no Quaid-e-Azam Trophy match today. Round 3 — Gold and Silver — begins on Sunday 15 November at 10:00 AM PKT. And there is no Pakistan women's domestic match today either; the Women's Super-3 T20 final was played on 5 November, and Pakistan's women are in Ajman instead.
Multi-Day Matches Continuing
Sheffield Shield — Round 4, Day 4
The Sheffield Shield's fourth round moves into its final day, and all three games are still alive. New South Wales made 204 and 410 against South Australia at Cricket Central, and South Australia are 50 for 2, needing 240 more. Victoria declared on 402 for 5 against Western Australia at the MCG and are 7 without loss, trailing by 15 after Western Australia's 424. Queensland made 348 against Tasmania at the Gabba, with Tasmania 133 and 233 in reply — Queensland need 19 more. The first two games start at 10:30 AM AEDT; Queensland against Tasmania starts at 10:00 AM AEST.
Ireland A vs Zimbabwe A — 2nd Unofficial Test, Day 3, Harare
Ireland A and Zimbabwe A continue their second unofficial Test at the Harare Sports Club, Day 3 starting at 10:00 AM local time. Ireland A made 551 in their first innings, and Zimbabwe A are 127 for 3 in reply, still 424 behind.
Bangladesh National Cricket League — Round 7 Starts
The National Cricket League's seventh round starts today with four matches, all beginning at 9:30 AM BST — the latest round of Bangladesh's first-class season, running alongside the international calendar.
Yesterday's Results — Friday 13 November
Friday delivered three results worth remembering. In Rawalpindi, the first Pakistan–Sri Lanka Test ended in a draw — Pakistan 434 for 9 declared and 284 for 8, Sri Lanka 446. Saud Shakeel's 97 saved Pakistan for the second time in the match after his 93 in the first innings, Dhananjaya de Silva made 167 and Kusal Mendis 119 for Sri Lanka, and debutant Saqib Khan took 7 for 130. The second Test starts on Tuesday 17 November, at the same ground.
In Mount Maunganui, New Zealand beat India by 244 runs in the fourth ODI — Will Young's career-best 125 setting up 333, and Matt Henry's 6 for 27, including a triple-wicket maiden first over that removed Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer for ducks, bowling India out for 89. The series is 2-1 with the decider on Sunday. In Perth, Mahli Beardman took 6 for 24 on his ODI debut as Australia beat England by seven wickets — England 131, Australia home at 132 for 3 in 23.3 overs, Mitchell Marsh making 50 off 30 balls.
In Kirtipur, Sudurpaschim Royals beat Kathmandu Gorkhas by seven runs in NPL Match 24 — Dipendra Singh Airee's 60 rescuing them from 8 for 4 before they defended 125 — and finished the league stage on top with 10 points. Then Chitwan Rhinos beat Janakpur Bolts by four wickets in Match 25, Dawid Malan unbeaten on 35, and Janakpur's playoff hopes ended with them.
Tomorrow — Sunday 15 November
Sunday is a decider day. New Zealand against India in the fifth ODI at the Bay Oval, 3:00 PM NZDT, with the series at 2-1. Australia against England in the second ODI at the Adelaide Oval, 2:00 PM ACDT. Afghanistan against Zimbabwe into Day 3 in Sharjah, and South Africa against Bangladesh starting their first Test at the Wanderers. The Emerging Nations Trophy plays Day 3 in Ajman, the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy's Round 3 begins, and the NPL plays Matches 27 and 28.

FAQs
What time does the U19 Asia Cup final start?
The final starts at 9:00 AM GST at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground in Oman. Pakistan beat Bangladesh by nine wickets in their semi-final and India beat Afghanistan by eight wickets, and the two sides already met in the group stage, when Pakistan won on Hamza Zahoor's century.
What time is the NPL match today — and why do listings disagree?
The official NPL site says 5:00 PM NPT, but Cricinfo and several listings say 4:30 PM NPT. It is the same disagreement as Matches 23 and 25, both corrected from 5:00 PM to 4:30 PM. The recent pattern points to 4:30 PM, but the official time is 5:00 PM — check on the day.
Which matches are on in the CSA T20 Challenge today?
All three finals-day games at Newlands: the first semi-final, Warriors against Boland, at 9:30 AM SAST; the second, Lions against Western Province, at 2:00 PM SAST; and the final at 6:30 PM SAST. The semi-finals are today, 14 November — an earlier listing that put them on 13 November was wrong.
Is there a Quaid-e-Azam Trophy match today?
No. There is no QeA Trophy match on 14 November. Round 3, Gold and Silver, begins on Sunday 15 November at 10:00 AM PKT. There is also no Pakistan women's domestic match today.
When is the New Zealand vs India ODI decider?
The fifth and final ODI is on Sunday 15 November at the Bay Oval, starting at 3:00 PM NZDT. India lead 2-1 after New Zealand's 244-run win in the fourth ODI, so a New Zealand win draws the series 2-2 and an India win seals it 3-1.
Conclusion
That's the day. Thirty-five matches: a final in Oman first thing, finals day in two T20 competitions, three T10 games in Abu Dhabi, a disputed evening start in Kirtipur, two domestic seasons opening, and a Test in Sharjah into its second day. Tomorrow brings two ODI deciders — New Zealand against India and the second Australia–England game — plus the first South Africa–Bangladesh Test and the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy's third round. Check back tomorrow for the results and the next day's list.
