South Africa secured their second victory in the ICC Champions Trophy, topping Group B with a commanding performance against England in Karachi on Saturday. Chasing a target of 180, the Proteas cruised to victory in just 29.1 overs, thanks to an explosive partnership of 127-runs between Rass
Aiden Markram, standing in as South Africa's captain in the absence of Temba Bavuma, left the field due to discomfort in his hamstring during the match against England. In his absence, Heinrich Klaasen assumed leadership responsibilities. The update was provided by the commentators on the br
Proteas will be aiming to make it two wins in two matches when they take on world champions Australia in a high-octane clash at Rawalpindi. Both teams are coming to the match after wins over Afghanistan and England. Klaasen missed the Afghanistan clash due to a left elbow soft tissue injury.
"His leg was a little leg side, so I knew he was going to try to hit me there, and that's when just before my run-up, I just looked at him and said I am going to go slow...," Pandya said.
After recovering from a left hamstring injury, right-arm seamer Gerald Coetzee made a comeback to the national team as South Africa announced the squad for the ODI tri-series in Pakistan.
As a result, JSK finished fourth on the group stage standings (four wins, five losses and a no result, 19 points) and will face third-placed Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the Eliminator at Centurion on Wednesday, February 5, as per an SA20 press release.
Paarl Royals have cemented their position at the top of the SA20 Season 3 table with a hard-fought five-wicket victory over Durban's Super Giants (DSG) at Kingsmead on Thursday evening.
The JSK spin trio of Tabraiz Shamsi (2/18), Donovan Ferreira (2/15) and Imran Tahir (1/29) combined in perfect tandem to propel the visitors to a 28-run victory at Kingsmead, while the Capitals seamers were influential in their six-wicket bonus point win over the defending champions.
Proteas sunk to a historic low as fine knocks from Saim Ayub, Babar Azam and Mohammed Rizwan, followed by some disciplined bowling led by spinner Sufiyan Muqeem helped Pakistan hand SA over their first-ever 0-3 series whitewash at home despite a third-successive, fighting fifty by Heinrich K
Ayub was one of the frontline stars for Pakistan with two brilliant centuries, including one in the third ODI as the Asian side completed first-ever clean sweep series win in South Africa after a win in the third and final ODI at Johannesburg on Monday.
The result is surely a confidence booster for Pakistan, coming to Proteas after a historic ODI series win in Australia after two decades. This 0-3 defeat is Proteas' first ODI series clean sweep loss at home.
