SA20 Season 2025 Jan 9-Feb 8

[NYRB]

Big Marco Jansen gets a wicket with his 2nd ball!

Harmer doesn't drop those

 

[NYRB]

DSG in all sorts at 16/3 with Jon Jon Smuts coming out at 5 to hopefully help them recover.

 

[NYRB]

Haysman critical of Klaasen coming in at 7 for DSG.

 

[NYRB]

DSG battling to bat their full 20 overs here at 51/6 off 13.0 overs.

 

[NYRB]

The balls Mulder & Kane wasted can be used for Klassen to get set . Unlike these two guys he can accelerate once he got set. Because of him always coming down the order he has to swing straightaway without getting to know the pace of the wicket.

 

[NYRB]

Dawson with a neat 1 hander in his mitts

 

[NYRB]

Good little cameo from Naveen with 30 off 15 balls as DSG post 115/8

Advantage Sunrisers Eastern Cape at the change of innings.

 

[NYRB]

Markram goes wham bham thank you mam by banging the last ball of the game onto the roof at the ground.


Orange army back and alive. DSG outclassed tonight. SEC get the bonus point.

 

[NYRB]

Wheres Foxy when you need him?




Whats that in term of metres? 105 metres?

 

[NYRB]

Imagine watching williamson bat In T20 and thinking he is suitable for this format . Guy is the ultimate Anti T20 batsman and the power play killer.

Williamson scored 44 off 45 tonight but his innings put batter on the other end to swing out.

[NYRB]

Rashid Khan on a hattrick , he gets the Rig with his 2nd ball....

 

[NYRB]

The Rig gets smashed for : 6, 6, dot, 6 by George Linde and MI Cape Town win that fairly comfortably.

[NYRB]

Sipamla snags 2 wickets in his first over. And the Bull Ring is loud and noisy

 

[NYRB]

Sunrisers Eastern Cape in a world of bother now at 17/4 inside the powerplay. JSK are all over them like a cheap suit.

 

[Broar]

Quack!

 

[NYRB]

I can comfortably say now that the SA20 is a better comp than the Big Bash watching both of the leagues. Better atmosphere, better fans, better international imports, more enticing rewards, better paid players. And im going to say this they get the better commentators eg Mark Nicholas, Stuart Broad, Mark Butcher, Pommy Mbangwa to name a few.
