Proteas vs India 2nd test preview

The Proteas will face off against India in the second test match of their series. The match will occur at the Newlands Cricket Stadium in Cape Town, South Africa. India lost the first test match to Proteas by innings & 32 runs and will be looking to bounce back in the second test.

Both teams have some key players to watch out for. Captain Elgar will be looking to lead from the front and continue where he left off in Centurion and put another big score on the board for Proteas. Kagiso Rabada will also be a key player to watch out for with his pace and ability to take wickets. Proteas have some interesting decisions to make as well as who comes in for the injured Bavuma and Coetzee. The options are Stubbs, Hamza, Mulder, Maharaj and Ngidi.

Conversely, India will be relying on their captain Rohit Sharma to find some form with the bat., India will also hope Jadeja who is fit again for the 2nd test can provide stability to the batting and bowling department. Will India keep faith in Prasid Krishna or Mukesh Kumar will get an opportunity

Overall, it promises to be an exciting match between two top-class teams. India will need to step up their game if they want to level the series, while The Proteas will be looking to continue their dominance and wrap up the series with a win in the second test.

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...
