Australia vs Pakistan 3rd test day 2 Review

Australia and Pakistan ended Day 2 of the third test match evenly poised. The Australian team started the day with a score of 6-0 and looked to continue reducing their 307-run first innings trail. The Australian opener David Warner was given a lifeline as he was dropped early in the slips. Still, Pakistan managed to get his wicket just before lunch as the introduced part-time off-spinner Agha Salman did the trick.

After Lunch, not much play was possible as Australia resumed on 78-1 and only played a further 17 overs scoring 38 runs and losing the wicket of Usman Khawaja as rain washed out the rest of the Day. Australia ended the day on 116-2 with Labuschange 23 off 66 not out and Steve Smith 6 off 7 not out still at the crease. They trail Pakistan's first innings score by 197 runs.

Australia will be hoping that Labuschange and Smith can extend their partnership and convert it into a big match-winning one that will help bat Pakistan out of the match. Pakistan on the other end will be hoping their bowlers can pick up early wickets tomorrow and they can bowl Australia out as soon as possible and take a first-innings lead into their 2nd innings.

Overall Australia and Pakistan will be hoping for better weather conditions on Day 3 and both will look to make progress and take advantage in this test match.

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...

SA20 match 13 Preview

SA20 match 2nd match today is a repeat of yesterday's encounter at the Wanderers. The Pretoria Capitals vs the Joburg Super Kings at Supersport park Centurion tonight. The Capitals will be looking to put yesterday's defeat behind them and use their home conditions to get one back at the Super kings. The Super Kings will want to continue to build some momentum on yesterday's victory and beat their neighbours for a 2nd day straight. Both teams might rotate their fast bowlers as they look to manage their workload going further into the competition. I think Centurion will be a good pitch to bat on and the team chasing should win this one. News from the toss is Capitals have won the toss and chose to bowl first. The Capitals are unchanged while Super Kings have made 2 changes. Pretoria Capitals: 1: Phil Salt, 2: Will Jacks, 3: Rilee Rossouw, 4: Theunis de Bruyn, 5: Shane Dadswell, 6: James Neesham, 7: Ethan Bosh, 8: Wayne Parnell, 9: Migael Pretorius, 10: Adil R...
