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.

Pakistan vs Australia 2nd test Day 1 review

Australia and Pakistan faced off in the second Test match at MSG. Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl first. The visitors started well with opening bowlers Shaheen Afridi and Mir Hamza getting the ball to move off the seam. However, the Australian batter struck back with a good opening partnership of 90 runs. Australia finished the day at 187/3 off 66 overs as rain played spoilsport, with Hasan Ali, Agha Salman and Aamer Jamal the pick of the bowlers. It was a tough day for the Pakistani bowlers as they struggled to cause Australian bowlers for long enough periods at a time, but they will look to bounce back on Day 2. The Australian batsman will be aiming to put up a big total for their bowlers to bowl too. Overall, it was an exciting day of Test cricket and fans can look forward to more action in the coming days.
