SA20 match 31 preview

Semifinal 1 will be a repeat of the last league phase match between the Capitals and Royals just the venue is the Wanderers. This is going to be an interesting match as it's a knockout and both teams will start from scratch with no advantage.  The Capitals will hope they can use the momentum that they gained from yesterday's match and put in another good performance and win the semifinal to move one step further to winning the inaugural SA20.  The Royals will hope they can put yesterday's disastrous performance behind them and start afresh and put in a winning performance today at the Wanderers. The Royals have the players to put in a dominating performance and will hope they come good today in this crunch game.  The Wanderer's pitch should be a good one and I think the scores will be around the 180 to 200 mark and the crowds will be entertained with a high-scoring thriller.  My prediction is Royals will win and Super Kings will win tomorrow.  Royals vs Super Kings Fina

SA20 match 30 preview

The last league phase match of the SA20 has a lot to play for as the Capitals take on the Royals in Centurion. The Royals need to win or avoid defeat by a huge margin to seal the last spot in the playoffs.  The Capitals are already qualified for the playoffs, but a heavy defeat could see them slip to 2nd position on the table. They would want to win and build some momentum before the semifinals. Especially after the heavy defeat in the last match.  The Royals will want to win to avoid falling into a net run rate battle with the Super Giants for the last semifinal spot. They will hope their senior players make it count today when it matters the most.  This will be an entertaining match as the pitch at centurion has been offering a good balance for bat and ball.  Writer: Ebrahim Yusuf Omar   

SA20 match 29 preview

 Today's match is a dead rubber in terms of the race for the semifinals as MI Cape Town are already knocked out and Joburg Super Kings have qualified for the semifinals. The only thing that is up for grabs is Super Kings potentially finishing top of the table if they win with a bonus point today and Royals beat the Capitals tomorrow by a huge margin. I think the focus for the Super Kings will be to win the match and continue to build momentum going into the semifinals. Topping the table if they manage to will be a bonus for them.  The MI Cape Town Team will want to finish off their Campaign with a win and hope to come back next year and execute their plans much better and hopefully make the playoffs.  The pitch for today I'm hoping is a good one and full of runs and the crowd can be entertained by a high scoring thriller.

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
