South Africa vs Ireland 1st ODI preview

 


South Africa vs Ireland in Dublin starts tomorrow with the first ODI. These ODIs will be important as they count for the world cup super league points and South Africans will want to get their campaign going as they look to kick start their path to qualify for the 2023 world cup. 

South Africa will look also to get their combinations right as they continue to look to balance their white-ball teams. The biggest question will be can they fit in an all-rounder in the team to give themselves a sixth bowling option that will balance the side better.

Ireland will want to reboot their bid to qualify for the 2023 world cup as they have played 9 matches and only got 20 points so far. These matches will be very crucial for them as defeat will leave them highly likely to fail to qualify directly for the world cup. 

Ireland Probable XI: 1. Paul Sterling, 2. Jeremy Lawlor, 3. Andy Balbirnie, 4. Harry Tector, 5. Curtis Campher, 6. Lorcan Tucker, 7.Simi Singh, 8. Andy Mcbrine, 9 Barry McCarthy, 10. Josh Little, 11. Craig Young.

South Africa Probable XI:  1 Quinton de Kock, 2. Aiden Markram, 3. Temba Bavuma, 4. Rassie van der Dussen, 5. David Miller, 6. Wiaan Mulder, 7. Andile Phehlukawayo, 8. Keshav Maharaj, 9. Kagiso Rabada, 10 Anrich Nortje, 11 Tabraiz Shamsi 


this what I think the starting XI will look like for tomorrows game. 

this is what the world cup super league table looks like so far

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...
