SA20 match 32 preview

The 2nd semifinal today between Super Kings and Sunrisers is taking place at centurion and the Super Kings have won the toss and chose to bowl first. This is not a surprising decision as the pitch has been undercover due to the rain for the last 2 days.

The pitch should have moisture on it which will provide some assistance for the seamers. I expect the pitch to big a tough one for batsmen to get started on. I think a total of 150 to 160 is defendable similar to yesterday.

The Sunrisers will be hoping their batsman can provide them with a platform to get a defendable score on the board and they will hope their key players stand up and make it count in this all-important encounter.

Super Kings will hope their experienced players can come to the party and make it count in this knockout game the most experienced in these types of situations is their captain Du Plessis.

Both teams will hope the rain stays away so they can get a full game and entertain the crowd at Supersport park Centurion.

My prediction is the Sunrisers will win and join the Capitals in the final.

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...

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...
