SA20 match 16 preview

Image
By


Doubleheader Saturday in SA20 and the first match is Paarl Royals vs MI Cape Town I'm expecting Boland Paarl to produce another low scorer and spinners to play a big part in the match. The pitch will be on the dryer side. 

The two teams will be looking to get back to winning ways and Paarl Royals will back their players to deliver in their home conditions. MI Cape Town will be confident that they have the resources to exploit the conditions and win this match.

The scores will be in the 135 to 150 range and the team winning the toss will prefer to bowl first and chase as it will be easier to negotiate conditions knowing what score they have to get. The scores can go over 160 if the batsman applies themselves and play the conditions well and don't play too many unnecessary risky shots. The key for batsmen will be to be patient and play proper cricket shots.

SA20 review

By
 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

By
  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
