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, 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.

Proteas vs India 2nd test Day 1 review

By
  The second test match between Proteas and India kicked off on a high note with the hosts putting up a horrendous batting performance on day 1. The Proteas team won the toss and elected to bat first, but they failed to make the most of the opportunity as the Indian bowlers wreaked havoc on the home team's batting line-up bowling them out for 55. Mohammed Siraj was the chief destroyer with 6 wickets for 15 runs in 9 overs. He was equally supported by Mukesh and Bumrah both taking 2 wickets each.  The Indian team lost their first wicket early on, with Jaiswal departing for a duck. The rest of the top-order batsmen struggled to get going as well, and the team was bowled out for 153. However, a brilliant counter-attacking innings from Markram helped the home team to 62-3 at stumps to steady the ship.  It was an excellent day for bowlers on both sides as 23 wickets fell for 270 runs.  The Proteas bowlers, led by Rabada and Lungi Ngidi, were impressive after t...

England crowned T20 world Champions for the 2nd time.

By
Congratulations to England on becoming T20 world champions for the second time.  England has become only the second team to win the T20 world cup more than once after winning the 2022 T20 world cup. England is currently the best team in white ball cricket. The brand of cricket they play is just admirable. England's aggressive brand of cricket has made them one of the most dangerous teams in the world and they transition this bold brand into their test game. Going forward, they will be one of the most hazardous sides across all three formats.  The final was mostly dominated by England as they won the toss and chose to bowl 1st. Pakistan had a decent start and looked good until the 11th over and then fell away as England's bowlers squeezed the run flow Pakistan's middle order was not up to the task as they could only manage to post 137-8 in their 20 overs. Overall Pakistan's batting was poor today as they struggled to get away from the England bowlers. The turning point i...
