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.

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 England 3rd ODI

The ODI series between Proteas and England ended with a 2-1 win for the Proteas. The series has been competitive and entertaining. Proteas won the toss and chose to bowl. They started off well but then Buttler and Malan put together a partnership of 232 off 211. This partnership brought England right back into the match as they recovered from 14 for 3 to post 346-7 in their 50 overs. In reply, the Proteas were always ahead of the scoring rate, the only problem was they lost wickets at regular intervals, which is why they ended up being bowled out for 287. Archer was the star picking up 6-40 of 9.1 overs. England won the match by 59 runs. The Proteas can take a lot of positives from this series as they have given themselves a good chance to gain the last direct qualification spot. Writer : Ebrahim Yusuf Omar
