South Africa vs West Indies final T20

 



South Africa vs West Indies last T20 will be played tonight and this will be the series decider with the series level 2-2. West Indies will want to continue the momentum they have gained from the previous game and close the series out.

South Africa will want to address their batting problems in the middle and also find a way to fit in an all-rounder to balance the side better. Nortje fitness could be a question for this game after he got hit on the knee and this could be an opportunity for Lizard Williams. Williams could come in for Ngidi if Nortje is fit and Mulder or Phehlukwayo could also come in place of a batsman. 

South Africa will also want to win this one so they will need to get their combination right if they are to do so.


West Indies Probable XI: 1. Lendl Simmons, 2. Evin Lewis, 3. Chris Gayle, 4. Shimron Hetmyer, 5. Kieron Pollard, 6. Nicholas Pooran, 7. Andre Russel, 8. Dwayne Bravo, 9.Akeal Hosein, 10. Obed McCoy, 11. Fidel Edwards

South Africa Probable XI: 1. Janman Malan, 2. Quinton de Kock, 3. Temba Bavuma, Aiden Markram, 5. Kyle Verreynne, 6 Wiaan Mulder,7. Goerge Linde,8. Andile Phehlukwayo/Bjorn Fortuin, 9 Kagiso Rabada, 10. Anrich Nortje/ Lizaard Williams, 11. Tabriz Shamsi


This is what I think the starting XI will look like for today's 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.

Protea's new era started off very well as they scored 314-8 on day 1 of the first test of this series. The day started with Proteas winning the toss and choosing to bat first. The Proteas got off to a great start as Elgar and Markram batted through too Lunch as they put together an opening Partnership of 99 in the morning session.  The afternoon session was again dominated by Proteas as a further 107 added for the loss of 1 wicket. The wicket that fell during the afternoon session was that of Elgar for a well-played 71 off 118.  Markram and the debutant De Zorzi then continued to bat untroubled as they put together a partnership of 78 off 127 before De Zorzi ran himself out and this triggered a collapse by Proteas as they lost 7 wickets in the last session of the day.  The Proteas were still able to score as they scored a further 108 runs in the last session. The West Indies had made a good comeback by Stumps Day 1.  The Proteas would add another 28 runs before being...
