South Africa vs West Indies 3rd T20 preview


 West Indies vs South Africa T20 series is level 1-1  at the moment. Tonight one of the teams will go ahead as the 3rd T20 takes place. 

West Indies will want to improve on their batting performance from the last game as they look to regain the momentum they had from the first game. They might look to make a change to strengthen the batting by bringing in  Lendl Simmons. 


South Africa on the other hand will want to improve on their batting in the middle overs and their power-hitting towards the end of the innings. Also, they have to find a way to include an all-rounder to balance the side better and give themselves a 6th bowling option.


West Indies Probable XI: 1. Evin Lewis, 2. Andre Flecher, 3. Chris Gayle, 4 Lendl Simmons/ Nicholas Pooran, 5. Kieron Pollard, 6. Andre Russel, 7. Jason Holder, 8. Fabian Allen, 9. Dwayne Bravo, 10. Obed McCoy, 11. Kevin Sinclair.

SA20 review

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
