SA20 match 33 preview

Image
By

 


The final of the inaugural SA20 has finally arrived and the 2 teams remaining are the Capitals and the Sunrisers who have been the 2 best teams in the competition. The Wanderers will be buzzing tomorrow as the Capitals will have the support of the Joburg fans considering they are the team from Gauteng.

 The pitch will be high-scoring, and if batsmen apply themselves, many runs will be scored. The batsman to watch out for will be the top 5 of both sides in Salt, Mendis, Rossington, Bavuma, De Bruyn, Rossouw, Hermann, Markram, Ingram and Stubbs. 

I think the team that wins the toss will choose to bowl considering there is a bit of rain around and the wicket might be a bit tacky to start. Considering it's a final I would prefer to bat and put the runs on the board. The pressure of chasing in a final is always tough to handle and will require nerves of steel no doubt both teams have the players to pull off a high-pressure chase and we might see a star emerge for SA cricket out of that situation.

I'm going with the Sunrisers to win, and I see Markram playing another captain knock with Bavuma and Hermann contributing alongside him. Magala, Van der Merwe and Jansen will lead the bowling attack and be the main difference makers.

SA20 review

By
 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

By
  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
