SA20 match 6 review

The Pretoria Capitals beat the Sunrisers Eastern Cape in a high-scoring entertainer at Supersport Park Centurion by 37 runs.

The Star was Will Jacks who scored a superb 92 off 46 that included 7 4s and 8 6s at a strike rate of 200. He also shared in a partnership of 111 of 54 with Thenuis de Bruyn who scored 42 of 23 that included 2 4s and 4 6s at a strike rate of 182.60.

Sisanda Magala and Marco Jansen were the stars with the ball for the Sunrisers as Magala picked up 2-28 from his 4 overs and Jansen picked up 1-31 from his 4 overs. The rest of the bowlers struggled as the Capitals posted 216-6.

The Sunrisers in reply could only manage to get to 179-7 with Markram 46 of 29 that included 5 4s and 2 6s at a strike rate of 158.62, Marco Jansen 36 of 20 including 2 4s and 3 6s at a strike rate of 180 and Brydon Carse 26 of 13 that included 3 4s 1 6 at a strike rate of 200 were the stars of the SEC innings but it was not enough as one of them needed to convert to a bigger score to get the Sunrisers over the line. The one responsible for this was Markram as he bats in the top order and should have converted and been the one to bat through the innings.

Anrich Nortje 1-37 and Ethan Bosh 1-33 and Parnell 2-20 were the stars with the ball for the capitals as all 3 got crucial wickets and stalled the Sunrisers' chase every time it looked like it would take off and they would chase down the 216 posted by the Capital

The Capitals have managed to register their 2nd win in the competition and take an early advantage in positioning themselves as a top 4 team for the knockouts.

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 West Indies 1st test review

Protea's new era started off very well as they scored 314-8 on day 1 of the first test of this series. The day started with Proteas winning the toss and choosing to bat first. The Proteas got off to a great start as Elgar and Markram batted through too Lunch as they put together an opening Partnership of 99 in the morning session. The afternoon session was again dominated by Proteas as a further 107 added for the loss of 1 wicket. The wicket that fell during the afternoon session was that of Elgar for a well-played 71 off 118. Markram and the debutant De Zorzi then continued to bat untroubled as they put together a partnership of 78 off 127 before De Zorzi ran himself out and this triggered a collapse by Proteas as they lost 7 wickets in the last session of the day. The Proteas were still able to score as they scored a further 108 runs in the last session. The West Indies had made a good comeback by Stumps Day 1. The Proteas would add another 28 runs before being...
