SA20 match 12 review

Image
By


 The Sunrisers have managed to win back-to-back matches against MI Cape Town after they lost their first 2 matches of the SA20. MI Cape Town will be disappointed with their performance as they lost the opportunity to go 5 points clear at the top of the table. 

The hero of the day for the Sunrisers was Marco Jansen who scored 66 off 27 that included 3 4s and 7 6s at a strike rate of 244.44. Jansen was excellent coming in with the score on 91-5 after 12.1 overs it looked like the Sunrisers were going to lose this match, but he changed it in no time smashing the MI bowling attack that was made up by Rashid Khan, Rabada, Archer and Sam Curran. Rashid was the one to receive the most damage as Jansen smashed 28 runs of his 4th over, the 16th over of the innings which swung the game in the Sunrisers' way. He then took on Rabada and of the last ball of the 17th over he played a shot similar to what Kohli hit against Haris Rauf during India vs Pakistan match in the T20 world cup. 

Roelof Van der Merwe was the star with the ball and in the field taking 2 catches 1 of his own bowling and also finishing with figures of 2-21 in 4 overs. 

MI Cape Town will take positive from the performance of Roelofsen 56 of 36 7 4s and 2 6s at a Strike rate of 155.55, Rickelton 46 of 36 4 4s and 1 six at a strike rate of 127.77, Delano Potgieter 21 of 13 with 1 four and 2 6s at a strike rate of 161.53 and Oden Smith 25 of 13 with 3 4s and 1 six at a strike rate of 192.30. The 4 were excellent with the bat for MI Cape Town and gave them a score that looked like a winning one for most of the chase. 

Archer was excellent for MI Cape Town with the ball as he was the only one who wasn't hit finishing with 1-18 of his 4 overs. 

The match was very entertaining as both teams gave their best with the Sunrisers coming out on top thanks to an excellent inning from Jansen.

Proteas vs India 2nd test Day 1 review

By
  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...

England crowned T20 world Champions for the 2nd time.

By
Congratulations to England on becoming T20 world champions for the second time.  England has become only the second team to win the T20 world cup more than once after winning the 2022 T20 world cup. England is currently the best team in white ball cricket. The brand of cricket they play is just admirable. England's aggressive brand of cricket has made them one of the most dangerous teams in the world and they transition this bold brand into their test game. Going forward, they will be one of the most hazardous sides across all three formats.  The final was mostly dominated by England as they won the toss and chose to bowl 1st. Pakistan had a decent start and looked good until the 11th over and then fell away as England's bowlers squeezed the run flow Pakistan's middle order was not up to the task as they could only manage to post 137-8 in their 20 overs. Overall Pakistan's batting was poor today as they struggled to get away from the England bowlers. The turning point i...
