WTC final Day 3

 


Day 3 of the world test championship ended with New Zealand in control as they bowled India out for 217 and then went to stumps on 101 /2 

Kyle Jamieson was the chief destroyer as he took 5 wickets as New Zealand took the last 7 Indian wickets for 71 runs.  

The Indian batsman struggled against the pace and bounce of the New Zealand bowlers and also played some unnecessary shots which cost them their wickets. The Indian bowlers also looked a little off. The only threatening bowler was Ishant and Ashwin to an extent.

New Zealand will be happy with their day's work as they managed to reduce the deficit to 106 runs. The Indians will know they have a lot of work to do to come back in this test match. 

The scorecard looks like this 

India 217  92.1 overs

A. Rahane 49 (117)                                                                          K. Jamieson 5-31 (22)

V. Kohli 44 (132)                                                                              N. Wagner  2-40 (15)

New Zealand 101/2  49 overs 

D. Conway 54 (153)                                                                        I. Sharam 1-19 (12)

T. Latham  30 (104)                                                                        R. Ashwin 1-20 (12)


New  Zealand trail by 106 runs

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...

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
