Australia vs Pakistan 3rd test post-match review

Australia have completed a clean sweep of Pakistan in the three-match Test series, winning the third and final Test by 8 wickets at SCG Stadium.

Pakistan were bowled out for 313 in their first innings, with Mohammad Rizwan 88 and Aamer Jamal 8 Pakistani best contributors. But the Australian bowlers, led by Pat Cummins, held firm to restrict Pakistan's total.

In reply, Australia was bowled out for 299 with Mitchell Marsh and Marnus Labuschagne scoring half-centuries. Pakistan's second innings was even worse, with the visitors getting bowled out for just 115, leaving Australia needing just 130 runs for victory.

David Warner in his last test innings and Labuschagne scored half-centuries as Australia cruised to victory during the afternoon session on Day 4.

This was David Warner's final test and he went out with a bang as Australia whitewashed Pakistan for 7th time in a test series in Australia. Warner will leave Test cricket with a lot of memories as he continues to play T20 cricket for Australia. Warner has been one of the best openers in his ear across formats and fans will hope he continues to entertain in T20 cricket.

Pakistan's wait for a test victory in Australia extends to 29 years as once again a Pakistan squad has failed to be competitive on a test tour of Australia.

With this win, Australia have extended their unbeaten run in home Test matches against Pakistan to 17, and are now gearing up to host West Indies in 2 test matches.

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...
