South Africa vs West Indies 2nd test preview

The 2nd test between West Indies and South Africa gets on the way tomorrow at the Gros Islet st Lucia Daren Sammy National Stadium. There is a lot at stake here as a win for South Africa gives them a 5th place finish in the world test championship and they will also be able to collect the 200 thousand dollar prize for finishing 5th.

The West Indies could make 2 changes from the 1st test as Bonner is injured so he has been ruled out and Shannon Gabriel could come in in place of Cornwall as they look to add an extra pace bowler. The rest should be the same.

West Indies Probable XI: 1. Kraigg Braithwaite, 2. Shai Hope, 3. Kieran Powell/Darren Bravo, 4. Roston Chase, 5. Kyle Mayers, 6. Jermaine Blackwood, 7. Jason Holder, 8. Joshua Da Silva, 9. Shannon Gabriel/ Rahkeem Cornwall, 10. Kemar Roach, 11. Jayden Seales

The Proteas should go unchanged unless Bavuma is fit then we could see him come in for Kyle Verreynne.

Proteas Probable XI: 1. Dean Elgar, 2. Aiden Markram, 3. Keegan Peterson, 4. Rassie van der Dussen, 5. Kyle Verreynne, 6. Quinton de Kock, 7. Wiaan Mulder, 8. Keshav Maharaj, 9. Kagiso Rabada, 10. Anrich Nortje, 11. Lungi Ngidi

This was my predictions on what the starting XI could look like for tomorrows game. Do share your thoughts in the comment section.

SA20 review

The SA20 season 2 has ended with Sunrisers Eastern Cape successfully defending their title to win back-to-back titles. The Sunrisers were the team to beat as they played an excellent brand of cricket and dominated throughout the tournament winning 7 matches and losing 2 with 1 no result to top the table in the league stage. The final of SA20 season 2 was played by the 2 best teams of the tournament the Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Durban Super Giants. Sunrisers proved too good for Super Giants beating them by 89 runs to not only successfully defend their SA20 title but also win the head-to-head between the 2 teams 3-1. SA20 season 2 saw some unbelievable performances with quite a few young South African players taking the opportunity and shining.

Proteas vs England 3rd ODI

The ODI series between Proteas and England ended with a 2-1 win for the Proteas. The series has been competitive and entertaining. Proteas won the toss and chose to bowl. They started off well but then Buttler and Malan put together a partnership of 232 off 211. This partnership brought England right back into the match as they recovered from 14 for 3 to post 346-7 in their 50 overs. In reply, the Proteas were always ahead of the scoring rate, the only problem was they lost wickets at regular intervals, which is why they ended up being bowled out for 287. Archer was the star picking up 6-40 of 9.1 overs. England won the match by 59 runs. The Proteas can take a lot of positives from this series as they have given themselves a good chance to gain the last direct qualification spot. Writer : Ebrahim Yusuf Omar
