Proteas vs Ireland 2nd T20 Preview

Proteas will take on Ireland in their final T20 of their UK tour tonight at 7:30pm. Proteas have so far played very good and smart cricket. They have adapted to conditions very well on different grounds and used the playing surface very well in putting together very good performances.

Tonight's T20 will be the last chance for Proteas players with an outside chance of making the T20 world cup to show the selectors what they are capable of. Proteas will want to end this limited-overs leg of the UK tour on a winning note and will go all out looking to put in another clinical performance.

Ireland will be looking to finally get a win against a top nation as they have come close on numerous occasions this UK summer but have fallen short. Ireland will want to put in a much better performance as a batting unit and look to make sure everyone contributes and not just get starts and throw away their wickets.

This match is taking place at Bristol again so both teams will look to take advantage of the small boundaries and put on a high-scoring spectacle for the audience to enjoy. The wicket I expect to be similar to the last match so the key for bowlers will be to use their variations wisely and force batsmen to hit towards the longest boundary which is 76m long.

Proteas vs India 2nd test Day 1 review

The second test match between Proteas and India kicked off on a high note with the hosts putting up a horrendous batting performance on day 1. The Proteas team won the toss and elected to bat first, but they failed to make the most of the opportunity as the Indian bowlers wreaked havoc on the home team's batting line-up bowling them out for 55. Mohammed Siraj was the chief destroyer with 6 wickets for 15 runs in 9 overs. He was equally supported by Mukesh and Bumrah both taking 2 wickets each. The Indian team lost their first wicket early on, with Jaiswal departing for a duck. The rest of the top-order batsmen struggled to get going as well, and the team was bowled out for 153. However, a brilliant counter-attacking innings from Markram helped the home team to 62-3 at stumps to steady the ship. It was an excellent day for bowlers on both sides as 23 wickets fell for 270 runs. The Proteas bowlers, led by Rabada and Lungi Ngidi, were impressive after t...

Australia vs Pakistan 3rd test day 3 review

The third day of the third Test match between Australia and Pakistan was exciting, with both teams battling it out on the field. Australia resumed on 116-2 with Labuschange and Smith continuing to score steadily and take Australia closer to Pakistan's first innings score of 313. Labuschange and Smith added 71 runs before both Smith and Labuschange lost their wickets one after the other. Australia then managed a few small partnerships to take their score to 289 before collapsing to 299 all out giving Pakistan a first-innings lead of 14 runs. Pakistan began their 2nd innings in the worst way possible by losing 2 quick wickets in opener Abdulla Shafiq and Captain Shan Masood both for ducks. Saim Ayub and Babar Azam then gave Pakistan some hope with a partnership of 57 before Pakistan's batting collapsed from 58-2 to 68-7 to end the day staring at defeat and missing another chance to win their 1st test in 28 years. Pakistan last won a test match in Australia in 1995...
