SA20 match 5 review

 


Durban Super Giants beat MI Cape Town in match 5 of the SA20 by 5 wickets to get their campaign back on track. The Super Giants were excellent with the ball in hand and restricted MI Cape Town to 158 in their 20overs and then chased it down comfortably for a convincing victory. 

The MI Cape Town team will be disappointed with their performance with the bat in hand and will be hoping to improve when they take on Super Kings today. They will be happy with their performance with the ball as they put up a good fight in defending 158 but it was not enough as they were short 20 to 25 runs of a good score. 

The star of the match was Kyle Mayers for the Durban Super Giants as he scored 34 of 23 to give the Super Giants a good start to their chase and took 2-10 in 2 overs with the ball in hand.

This was a good match and there was some entertainment in the match as at one stage it looked like Grant Roloefsan and Goerge Linde would take the match away from the Super Giants similar to what happened in the Super Giants' previous match when Ferreira and Sheperd turned the match in favour of the super King. The Giant's bowlers managed to keep their calm and didn't allow the match to slip too far from their grip as they restricted MI Cape Town to a chasable target. '

Well done to Super Giants on their 1st victory of the SA20.

Proteas vs India 2nd test Day 1 review

  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.

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...
