The Olympics 2021 has got on the way and so far the most successful country has been china who have managed to get 40 medals. The medal table looks like this so far. h South Africa have so far won three medals at the Tokyo Olympics. 1 gold and 2 silver. Tajana Schoenmaker has won gold in women 200-meter breaststroke and sliver in the 100 meters breaststroke. Bianca Buitendag has won silver in the Women's shortboard.  The 2 silver Medals were won on 27th July and the Gold today 30th July. This is a good start for South Africa at the Olympics as within the first 7 days they have managed to win 3 medals. Yes, this is not so good compared to other countries.  The South Africans still have hope in the track and field event and Rugby 7s to earn more medals for the country. South Africa has made steady progress and most of its athletes will come into action in this coming week so hopefully, South Africa can start moving up the medal table.  this was my take on South Africa's perform

  South Africa vs Ireland in Dublin starts tomorrow with the first ODI. These ODIs will be important as they count for the world cup super league points and South Africans will want to get their campaign going as they look to kick start their path to qualify for the 2023 world cup.  South Africa will look also to get their combinations right as they continue to look to balance their white-ball teams. The biggest question will be can they fit in an all-rounder in the team to give themselves a sixth bowling option that will balance the side better. Ireland will want to reboot their bid to qualify for the 2023 world cup as they have played 9 matches and only got 20 points so far. These matches will be very crucial for them as defeat will leave them highly likely to fail to qualify directly for the world cup.  Ireland Probable XI: 1. Paul Sterling, 2. Jeremy Lawlor, 3. Andy Balbirnie, 4. Harry Tector, 5. Curtis Campher, 6. Lorcan Tucker, 7.Simi Singh, 8. Andy Mcbrine, 9 Barry McCarthy, 10.

  South Africa vs West Indies last T20 will be played tonight and this will be the series decider with the series level 2-2. West Indies will want to continue the momentum they have gained from the previous game and close the series out. South Africa will want to address their batting problems in the middle and also find a way to fit in an all-rounder to balance the side better. Nortje fitness could be a question for this game after he got hit on the knee and this could be an opportunity for Lizard Williams. Williams could come in for Ngidi if Nortje is fit and Mulder or Phehlukwayo could also come in place of a batsman.  South Africa will also want to win this one so they will need to get their combination right if they are to do so. West Indies Probable XI: 1. Lendl Simmons, 2. Evin Lewis, 3. Chris Gayle, 4. Shimron Hetmyer, 5. Kieron Pollard, 6. Nicholas Pooran, 7. Andre Russel, 8. Dwayne Bravo, 9.Akeal Hosein, 10. Obed McCoy, 11. Fidel Edwards South Africa Probable XI: 1. Janman Ma

 The Euro 2021 last 8 gets on the way tonight. A few teams have surprised a few and made it to the last 8 after beat teams that were considered favourites to win the tournament.  The Czech Republic pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the tournament when they eliminated the Netherlands to make it to the last 8 and Switzerland pulled off what could be considered the biggest upset ever as they beat the world champions France to make it to the last 8.  Will these 2 teams be able to continue their fairy tale or will it come to an end in the last 8 we will find out tonight and tomorrow  These are my predictions for the Quarterfinals.  Writer : Ebrahim Yusuf Omar 

 South Africa vs West Indies 4th T20 gets on the way tonight as South Africa look to close out the series and win their first T20 series under coach Boucher and captain Bavuma. West Indies will be looking to bounce back and level the series.    South Africa will want to find a balance to their side as well as looked to win the series with a game to play in the series. South Africa will most probably go unchanged into this game. If they do make a change it will be to fit in a seam-bowling all-rounder.   West Indies will be looking to sort out their batting problem through the middle overs. They also might go unchanged but Gayle could be brought back into the team.  West Indies Probable XI: 1. Lendl Simmons, 2. Evin Lewis, 3. Chris Gayle, 4.Shimron Hetmeyer, 5. Kieron Pollard, 6 Andre Russel , 7. Jason Holder, 8. Fabian Allen, 9 Dwayne Bravo, 10. Obed McCoy, 11. Kevin Sinclair South Africa Probable XI: 1. Reeza Hendricks, 2. Quinton de Kock, 3.

 West Indies vs South Africa T20 series is level 1-1  at the moment. Tonight one of the teams will go ahead as the 3rd T20 takes place.  West Indies will want to improve on their batting performance from the last game as they look to regain the momentum they had from the first game. They might look to make a change to strengthen the batting by bringing in  Lendl Simmons.  South Africa on the other hand will want to improve on their batting in the middle overs and their power-hitting towards the end of the innings. Also, they have to find a way to include an all-rounder to balance the side better and give themselves a 6th bowling option. West Indies Probable XI: 1. Evin Lewis, 2. Andre Flecher, 3.
