SA20 match 10 review

The Paarl Royals beat the Durban Super Giants by 10 runs in their return fixture after losing to the same opponent a few before in Durban.

This was a close match and going into the last 2 overs with a set Klaasen at the crease for Super Giants it was anyone game. The Royals bowlers held their nerve as they managed to restrict the Super Giants to scoring just 22 runs in the last 2 overs. This meant Super Giants who needed 33 runs in the last 2 overs to win fell 11 runs short of victory giving the Royals a much-needed victory.

The key for the Royals was that they kept on taking throughout the innings which kept them in the game. The Key bowlers were Bjorn Fortuin with 4 overs 3-14 and Evan jones with 4 overs 4-32.

The Super Giants will be disappointed that they couldn't get over the line and will want their batters to put this performance behind them as a one-off and hope they can get back on track from the next match.

The Royals will hope this is the start of their tournament kicking off and they can string together some good performances and separate themselves from the rest and secure their spot in the knockouts.

This was a good match and I hope that the SA20 brings more entertaining matches like it's done so far.

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...
