Proteas vs England 3rd T20 preview.

 


Proteas and England will clash in a series-deciding 3rd T20 today at 14:30 England time and 15:30 South African time. This will be an exciting finish to the series as both teams are playing a very attacking brand of cricket and key players from both sides are stepping up and performing in crucial moments, putting both teams in a good position going forward. 

This will be England's last T20 to test their options for the T20 world cup. Their next T20 series is in September. The series starts on 15th September, the deadline for teams to announce their squads for the T20 world cup. So, they will want to use this last opportunity to identify their bowling options, especially with their first-choice players still racing against the clock to be fit for the T20 world cup.

Proteas do have 2 more T20s after this match to test different options that they want to have a look at as they put together the final pieces for their World T20 squad. Proteas will hope De Kock, and Captain Miller can come good in this match with bat in hand.  

This is going to be an exciting series decider and I expect this to be another high-scoring affair like the previous 2 matches. My predicted elevens are as follows. 


England: 1: Jason Roy, 2: Jos Buttler, 3: Dawid Malan, 4: Jonny Bairstow, 5: Liam Livingstone, 6: Moeen Ali, 7: Sam Curran, 8: Chris Jordan, 9: Adil Rashid, 10 Richard Gleeson, 11: Reece Topley/ David Willey

Proteas: 1: Quinton de Kock, 2: Reeza Hendricks, 3: Rilee Rossouw, 4 Aiden Markram, 5: David Miller, 6: Tristan Stubbs, 7: Wayne Parnell, 8: Kagiso Rabada, 9: Keshav Maharaj, 10: Lungi Ngidi, 11: Anrich Nortje/Tabraiz Shamsi

With the final set to happen in England at the Southampton cricket ground both teams are planning r they will make their way to England considering the testing times we in. Both teams will have to go into a quarantine of 10 to 14 days after reaching England before they can start practicing.

CSA 4 Day series Review

  The CSA 4 day series has come to an end with Titans being crowned champions of division 1 and Northen Cape Heat champions of division 2. There have been some great performances through the season with both divisions going into the last round with 3 teams still having a chance to win the tournament.  Division 2 was most dominated by Northern Cape Heat for the first couple of rounds until the loss to South Western Districts in beating Northern Cape South Western Districts kept their hopes alive as well as the Tuskers going into the last round any of these 3 could have been crowned champions.

He went on to say how he didn't like how his brother Jimmy was disrespecting his cousin Roman Reigns and that he had to be dealt with as that was what was best for the family and to ensure they stay on top Jimmy would have to fall in line.  Reigns made his entry at this moment with Paul Heyman by his side they made their way to the ring and Reigns got a mike and said Jimmy would be taken care of but first, he needs to deal with Cesaro who defends his Universal Championship against this Sunday.
