The World Test Championship 2019-21 comes to and end


 This week Friday the World Test Championships last 2 test matches for the 2019-21 cycle will be played. The final between New Zealand and India and West Indies vs South Africa 2nd test which is the last test match of an official series for the world test championship. 

The New Zealand and India match will give us the inaugural winner of the world test championship as the two teams will battle it out in Southampton to crown the best team of the greats format in cricket history.

South Africa vs West Indies test match also has high stakes as if South Africa win the second test match they will finish off in 5th position by having a stronger winning percentage as Pakistan who are currently in 5th have a winning percentage of 43.3% and South Africa will have a winning percentage of 44 if they win the second test match. 

If West Indies win the second test match then they will finish in 6th and South Africa will drop to 7th. If the match ends in a draw South Africa will finish in 6th and West Indies in 7th.

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. The young standout SA batsman were:  Rickelton 530 runs ave 58.88, strike-rate 173.77 Breetzke 416 runs ave 32, strike-rate 135.50  Stubbs 301 runs ave 60.20, strike-rate, 168.15   Mulder 297 runs...

SA20 match 13 Preview

 SA20 match 2nd match today is a repeat of yesterday's encounter at the Wanderers. The Pretoria Capitals vs the Joburg Super Kings at Supersport park Centurion tonight.  The Capitals will be looking to put yesterday's defeat behind them and use their home conditions to get one back at the Super kings.  The Super Kings will want to continue to build some momentum on yesterday's victory and beat their neighbours for a 2nd day straight. Both teams might rotate their fast bowlers as they look to manage their workload going further into the competition.  I think Centurion will be a good pitch to bat on and the team chasing should win this one. News from the toss is Capitals have won the toss and chose to bowl first. The Capitals are unchanged while Super Kings have made 2 changes.  Pretoria Capitals: 1: Phil Salt, 2: Will Jacks, 3: Rilee Rossouw, 4: Theunis de Bruyn, 5: Shane Dadswell, 6: James Neesham, 7: Ethan Bosh, 8: Wayne Parnell, 9: Migael Pretorius, 10: Adil R...
