SA20 match 28 preview

 This is an important match for Super Giants as they need to win with a Bonus point to still have a chance to make the playoffs. The Pretoria Capitals have already qualified as table toppers.  The Capitals will want to just build some momentum going into the playoffs as the are likely to play at the Wanderers.  The pitch should be an interesting one looking at yesterday's match i don't think in will be easy for batsman the softer the ball gets so it will be very important for batsman that get in early on to try and bat through the innings.  I'm hoping to see an entertaining match and Super Giants give it their all to make the playoffs.

SA20 match 27 preview

The winner of this match will be the 2nd team to officially make it to the playoffs of the Betway SA20. The Super Kings will be hoping they can stay unbeaten at home having won 2 and 1 match washed-out.  The Sunrisers will want to return to winning ways before they the playoffs as they look likely to make the playoffs. This is their last game before the playoffs so finishing the league phase on a winning note will be a big boost for them.  There could be weather around and if that happens and the match is washed out then both teams will be through to the playoffs. This will mean MI Cape Town are officially out of the SA20. IF the Sunrisers win then MI Cape Town still has a chance if they beat Super Kings on Monday by a bonus point. A Sunrisers win will also boost the Super Giants' chances of making the playoffs as well.  In the context of the SA20, this is a big match as this could leave the competition wide open going into the last 2 days of the league phase before the playoffs.

SA20 match 26 preview

  This is a must-win for MI Cape Town as they are now at the bottom of the table and need to win the last 2 matches to make sure they qualify for the semifinals. They will hope Brevis can find some form on his home ground Centurion and can the batting off to a flying start.  The Pretoria Capitals will want to win this match and seal a top-of-the-table finish in the league phase b as they are already assured a spot in the semifinals. The Capitals will want to resume the campaign by continuing the good work they have done so far.  The pitch for this match at Supersport park should be a good one and I expect a 200+ score if the rain can stay away during the match.  Writer: Ebrahim Yusuf Omar

SA20 match 25

  This is a must-win for the Super Giants as they continue to keep their semifinal hopes alive. The Sunrisers can move closer to sealing a semifinal spot with a win today.  Today we could see the Debut of Proteas White ball captain Temba Bavuma in the SA20, and a lot of fans are excited for his debut seeing his form in the concluded Proteas vs England ODI series.  The Sunrisers will hope the break can help refresh their players and that they get off with a win as they resume their campaign.  This is a crucial match for both teams as 

SA20 match 24

  Joburg Super Kings will start their home leg of the SA20 against Paarl Royals with an afternoon game. This will be interesting to see how Buttler, Roy and Miller and Ngidi will go after an excellent series between Proteas and England. The Super Kings will hope Reeza Hendricks can continue the form he gained in the last game against England. They have also signed Kyle Simmons and Mattew Wade.  The Paarl Royals have all their players available and have not signed any replacements. This will be an entertaining match at the Wanderers. I expect it to be a high-scoring match with scores between 190 and 220.  The 2 teams have to players to provide an explosive match.  Writer: Ebrahim Yusuf Omar 

SA20 match 23

  The SA20 returns Today with the Durban Super Giants vs MI Cape Town at the Hollywoodbets Kingsmead Stadium.  The SA20 has been great so far and fans will be happy with the return of the competition for the last 3 rounds and the Semifinals and final.  I expect to see a good pitch in Durban today. There should be a balance between bat and ball and scores should be around 170 to 175 for today's match.  The starting 11 for both teams will be interesting to see as players from the SA vs England ODI series are yet to return and should be back by the next match.  This match is interesting as the loser could be out of the SA20 race for semifinal spots. DSG especially since they are on 8 points. MI Cape Town could still comeback by winning their last 2 matches as they are on 13 points.  I predict an entertaining match with DSG to win to spice the competition up as the race for the semifinals gets tight.  Writer : Ebrahim Yusuf Omar

Proteas vs England 3rd ODI

  The ODI series between Proteas and England ended with a 2-1 win for the Proteas. The series has been competitive and entertaining.  Proteas won the toss and chose to bowl. They started off well but then Buttler and Malan put together a partnership of 232 off 211. This partnership brought England right back into the match as they recovered from 14 for 3 to post 346-7 in their 50 overs.  In reply, the Proteas were always ahead of the scoring rate, the only problem was they lost wickets at regular intervals, which is why they ended up being bowled out for 287. Archer was the star picking up 6-40 of 9.1 overs. England won the match by 59 runs. The Proteas can take a lot of positives from this series as they have given themselves a good chance to gain the last direct qualification spot.  Writer : Ebrahim Yusuf Omar
