Proteas supporters remain optimistic even though 2019 was not the best year for our national cricket team. The Proteas ended seventh in the tournament with only 10 countries competing. England went on to lift the trophy and win the ICC Cricket World Cup against New Zealand but the Proteas have plenty of time to make a turnaround and be a force at the upcoming T20 World Cup in 2020.
2019 saw the return of the popular Mzansi Super League T20 tournament taking place for a second season. The T20 format is a shortened match with only 20 overs bowled by each side. This high intensity and fast pace of the game makes it extremely fun to watch. There are six teams from different regions in the country making up the teams. All the matches were broadcast by the SABC which meant that the whole country could watch their cricket heroes play. Rain unfortunately hampered quite a few matches this season. This was the second time that Betway was the official betting partner of the Mzansi Super League. Last year’s winners of the competition the Jozi Stars was the worst performing team this year and ended up at the bottom of the log. Paarl Rocks won the series to be crowned the best T20 team in South Africa for the season.
Protea supporters will be proud of the way the Proteas won the One Day Internationals series against Australia under the guidance of new Captain Quinton de Kock. The Proteas showed guts but lost the T20 series and Australia, two games to one. The Proteas will make two pit stops on their way to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. They will travel to India for three ODIs matches in March 2020. The Proteas will then travel to the West Indies in August 2020 in preparation for the T20 World Cup series will take place in Australia between October and November 2020.
