SA20 match 7 review

 


MI Cape Town bounced back from defeat the previous day in tremendous fashion as Rabada arrived in the SA20 with a bang. 
The JSK batting woes continued as their top order failed again and they could only post 105 in their 20 overs which was easily chased by MI Cape Town. 
Rabada was the star making his debut for MI Cape Town he took 2-12 from 4 overs. Brevis was the star with the bat scoring 42 of 34 including 2 4s and 3 6s at a strike rate of 123.52. Brevis's strike rate was a bit low, but conditions were not the easiest for batting and he did well to ensure the MI Cape Town team were close to claiming another bonus point win although they fell short. 

The Super Kings will have to look at their batting and figure things out before their first home game on Tuesday. They have the option of bringing Neil Brand who is a left-hand top-order batter. Faf could also move up to the opening slot or Leus du Plooy could be moved to the opening slot and have one of Reeza or Janneman move to the middle order. 

MI Cape Town will be happy with this performance and will want to continue their winning ways when they travel to Gqeberha for their first away game of the SA20.

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
