The Sunrisers have won their first match of the SA20. They beat MI Cape Town by 4 wickets in a last-over finish. The Sunrisers were excellent in this match as they won the toss and chose to bowl, they were good with the ball from the start with the stars being Magala and Markram. Magala took 2-22 in 4 overs and Markram 2-8 in 2 overs.

Markram was the Star of the night as he added to his contribution with the ball by scoring 50 off 35, including 7 4s at a Strike rate of 142.85. Markram's performance was tremendous as he led from the front and took his team to their first victory in the competition.

Below is a pic of Markram last night's man of the match.

MI Cape Town Goerge Linde was the star with the bat for them as he got them to a competitive total of 158-8. He scored 63 off 28, including 4 4s and 5 6s at a strike rate of 225. Linde efforts were not enough as the MI Cape Town could not defend the total. The match did get close as it went right down to the last over of the match.

The pitch was on the slower side, but the match was very entertaining as the battle between bat and ball was amazing to watch.

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...

Australia vs Pakistan 3rd test day 3 review

The third day of the third Test match between Australia and Pakistan was exciting, with both teams battling it out on the field. Australia resumed on 116-2 with Labuschange and Smith continuing to score steadily and take Australia closer to Pakistan's first innings score of 313. Labuschange and Smith added 71 runs before both Smith and Labuschange lost their wickets one after the other. Australia then managed a few small partnerships to take their score to 289 before collapsing to 299 all out giving Pakistan a first-innings lead of 14 runs. Pakistan began their 2nd innings in the worst way possible by losing 2 quick wickets in opener Abdulla Shafiq and Captain Shan Masood both for ducks. Saim Ayub and Babar Azam then gave Pakistan some hope with a partnership of 57 before Pakistan's batting collapsed from 58-2 to 68-7 to end the day staring at defeat and missing another chance to win their 1st test in 28 years. Pakistan last won a test match in Australia in 1995...
