New Delhi, Jan 15 (Ians) In the ongoing SA20, Mi Cape Town bounced back from their previous defeat and posted a convincing seven-wicket win against Joburg Super Kings, successfully chasing 106 with 22 balls to spare.
Dewald Brevis, the blue-eyed boy of the Mi franchise, again rose to the occasion by scoring a match winning 42 runs in 34 balls on opening the batting including three sixes. Currently, Brevis is leading the run getters list at SA20, having accumulated 112 runs in three matches at a strike rate of over 145.
Former India opener Abhinav Mukund spoke highly of Brevis’ abilities to play spin and how he can be a top bet when he plays in India for the Mumbai Indians in Ipl 2023 to be held later in the year.
“What I look for in an opening batter is temperament. Very hard to associate that with a 21-year-old. He took his time today which is really heartening to see,...

Abu Dhabi, Dec 3 (Ians) A spirited bowling display from Deccan Gladiators ousted Team Abu Dhabi by five runs in the Eliminator match of the Abu Dhabi T10 at the Zayed Cricket Stadium here.
Deccan Gladiators had posted only 94 for 6 in 10 overs but restricted Team Abu Dhabi to 89 for 8 in an edge-of-the-seat thriller.
Josh Little broke the middle order of Team Abu Dhabi with two wickets and he was well backed by Sultan Ahmed, Zahir Khan, Tabraiz Shamsi and Zahoor Khan, all of whom took two wickets each.

Defending champions Deccan Gladiators thus qualified to play in the second qualifier against Samp Army in Qualifier 2, which will decide who will play against New York Strikers in the final on Sunday.
Team Abu Dhabi won the toss and was elected to the field.

Hobart, Oct 25 (Ians) South Africa head coach Mark Boucher is not unnerved by the fact his side had to share points with Zimbabwe following the washout of their Super-12 Group 2 match in the Icc T20 World Cup here on Monday, with the former Proteas wicketkeeper saying, “the positive is it’s not a do-or-die game”.
Rain played spoilsport in the nine-over-a-side contest with Zimbabwe scoring 79/5 in their quote of overs, while the Proteas had barely completed three overs of their batting and were 51 without loss and looked set for a massive win when rain played stopped play, denying Temba Bavuma’s side full points. Quinton de Kock was unbeaten on 47 from just 18 balls, when rain intervened.
“The positive is it’s not a do-or-die game for us and we are still in control of what happens in this World Cup,” said Boucher ahead of their next Super 12 assignment against Bangladesh on Thursday.

The three-match fixture is currently tied at 1-1 and the winner of Tuesday’s match will clinch the series. The match will begin at 2pm, with a 30 minute delay due to wet outfield, especially after New Delhi experienced heavy rainfall in the last three-four days.
For India, a victory on New Delhi’s return to hosting an Odi match after three years, will continue their winning juggernaut in the format which began after co-incidentally losing a three-match series in South Africa earlier this year.
The hosts squared the series after winning second Odi at Ranchi on Sunday by seven wickets, on the back of Shreyas Iyer’s 113 and Ishan Kishan’s 93.
"I feel there is a bit of moisture (in the pitch) and we want to exploit it. The team has been impressive and mature. The boys played well under pressure," said India captain Shikhar Dhawan, leading the side at his home ground.

Ranchi, Oct 8 (Ians) South Africa left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj refused to look deep into the poor form of Tabraiz Shamsi, saying it is a matter of time before the left-arm wrist-spinner bounces back to form. Shamsi conceded 89 runs from eight overs in the first Odi against India at Lucknow though he took out debutant Ruturaj Gaikwad for 19.
“I don’t think he really had a poor outing. I know figures don’t always show a true reflection of how someone bowled. The Indian batters had to take someone on and unfortunately, it was him on the day. I thought he held his nerve really nicely at the back end.”
“He obviously picked up a crucial wicket at that stage and opened up an end for us. I don’t think he is a concern. We know what Shammo is capable of and it’s only a matter of time before he bounces back,...

Ranchi, Oct 8 (Ians) After losing the series opener to South Africa by nine runs in Lucknow, India will be eyeing corrections of their mistakes in all departments of the game when they take the field for a must-win second Odi at the Jsca International Stadium on Sunday.
With Washington Sundar drafted in the squad as Deepak Chahar’s replacement on the eve of the match, it means that India will be a pace option less in Sunday’s match, especially after Mohammed Siraj and Avesh Khan couldn’t impress in the first Odi at Lucknow apart from leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi being expensive in his first 50-over match for India.
Moreover, India had plenty of misfields and dropped catches at various junctures in the truncated match, allowing South Africa to reach 249/4 in 40 overs, especially with David Miller (75 not out off 63 balls) and Heinrich Klassen (74 not out off 65 balls) sharing a rollicking...

Ind v Sa: Miller-Klaasen partnership was the difference between South Africa and India, says Maharaj
Lucknow, Oct 7 (Ians) South Africa left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj believes that the unbeaten partnership of 139 between David Miller and Heinrich Klassen for the fifth wicket was the difference between the visitors and India in the Odi series opener at Lucknow.
Pushed into batting first, South Africa were in trouble at 110/4 in 22.2 overs and were staring at a low total when Miller (75 not out off 63 balls) and Klassen (74 not out off 65 balls) shared a rollicking stand of 139 runs off 106 balls to take South Africa on a competitive 249/4 on a pitch which had something for both pacers and spinners.
Though Sanju Samson made an unbeaten 86, Shreyas Iyer hit a quick counter-attacking fifty and Shardul Thakur played a late cameo of 33, India fell short of the target by nine runs.
“I thought Heinrich (Klaasen) came in and absorbed (the pressure) really well and David (Miller) was hitting the ball stupendously and just exploded...

Lucknow, Oct 6 (Ians) Sanju Samson displayed valiant effort in his unbeaten knock of 86 not out while Shreyas Iyer hit a counter-attacking fifty. But the duo’s splendid efforts went in vain as India lost to South Africa by nine runs in a rain-hit first Odi which has been reduced to 40-over per side at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Thursday.
After David Miller and Heinrich Klaasen hit unbeaten fifties to power South Africa to 249/4, India’s pursuit of chasing 250 were dealt with huge blows in the first six overs when Kagiso Rabada and Wayne Parnell got rid of Shubman Gill and Shikhar Dhawan respectively through thick inner edges disturbing the stumps.
Debutant Ruturaj Gaikwad put up a 42-ball resistance, but made just 19 runs and was stumped off Tabraiz Shamsi. In the next over, Ishan Kishan’s 37-ball stay at the crease came...

Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 28 (Ians) Arshdeep Singh and Deepak Chahar blew away South Africa’s top order in a magnificent spell of swing bowling, before vice-captain Kl Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav slammed unbeaten fifties to give India an eight-wicket win over South Africa in the T20I series opener at the Greenfield International Stadium on Wednesday.
On a two-paced pitch with green tinge as international cricket returned to the venue after three years, Arshdeep (3/32) and Chahar (2/24) justified Rohit Sharma’s call to bowl first as they scythed through South Africa’s top-order by picking five wickets on the first 15 balls of the innings to restrict the visitors to 106/8 in 20 overs.
The duo, who did not play in the recent home series against Australia and replaced a rested Bhuvneshwar Kumar as well as Jasprit Bumrah – out due to a back niggle, were sensational in their T20I comebacks to set the base for...
