T20 world cup semifinals and final

The T20 world cup is in its closing stages as we have only one semifinal and the final left before a new champion is crowned. Pakistan has qualified for the final. India and England play the second semifinal tomorrow to decide who will join Pakistan in the final.

Pakistan made a tremendous comeback in the tournament after it looked like they were the first team out in the super twelves at one stage. They are now in the final of the 2022 T20 world cup. Pakistan has peaked at the right time, and it looks like it will be tough to stop them in the final.

India and England will not be concentrating on Pakistan, yet they will be looking to first win tomorrow's semifinal and make their place in the final alongside Pakistan before shifting their focus to the final.

England goes into the semifinal with 2 injury concerns as Mark Wood and Dawid Malan are both not guaranteed to be fit in time for the semifinal encounter. This could see Phil Salt come in for Dawid Malan and one of Chris Jordan/David Willey/Tymal Mills in place of Mark Wood. This would mean England will have two players playing their first game of the tournament which is not ideal in a semifinal situation. England will still be up for a fight but without their best eleven on the field.

England captain Buttler also did not look that confident during his press conference today as he addressed the media ahead of the second semifinal. With him being unsure of his team combination it was obvious for him to be low on confidence as they are a day out from an important match and two key players' availability is sitting on the knife's edge. Buttler still braved it out and said they will try their best to prevent a Pakistan vs India final.

India on the other hand will have all their players available after an injury scare to their captain. India looks ready for tomorrow's game and the 2 key players will be Kohli and Surya in terms of batting. Arshdeep and Shami in terms of bowling. There is a chance Chahal will get his first match of the world cup considering the conditions at the Adelaide oval.

My prediction is India tomorrow's semifinal, and we will get a Pakistan vs India final with India winning the World T20. The player to guide them to victory will be Kohli.

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 West Indies 1st test review

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...
