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, ave 37.12, strike-rate 157.14.

The Standout SA bowlers were:

  •  Marco Jansen 20 wickets, Ave 14.30, strike-rate 11.20, econ 7.66
  • Baartman          18 wickets ,Ave 11.7, strike-rate 10.16, econ 6.95
  • Williams            15 wickets, Ave 16.53, strike-rate 10.00, econ 9.92
  • Maharaj             15 wickets, Ave 20.46, strike-rate 16.80, econ  7.30

One of the unique features of the SA20 cricket tournament is the presence of international players. Many of the world's best cricketers have taken part in the tournament, adding an extra level of excitement and competition. This also provides an opportunity for young South African cricketers to learn from some of the best in the world and gain valuable experience.

Overall, the SA20 cricket tournament is a must-watch for any cricket fan. With its high-quality cricket, exciting atmosphere, and international flavour, it is an event that should be noticed.
