South Africa’s top-choice playing XI for the T20I series against Pakistan:

1. Laura Wolvaardt (C) �?Opening Batter

As captain and one of South Africa’s premier batters, Laura Wolvaardt will play a crucial role at the top of the order. Her ability to anchor the innings while accelerating when required is vital in the T20 format. Her leadership on the field, combined with her consistent scoring ability, makes her the linchpin of the team.

2. Tazmin Brits �?Opening Batter

Tazmin Brits, an aggressive opening batter, complements Wolvaardt’s controlled style. Brits has a powerful range of strokes and can set the tone early in the innings with her attacking play. In subcontinent conditions, her ability to adapt to spin and pace will be a key factor.

3. Anneke Bosch �?Top-Order Batter/All-rounder

Anneke Bosch provides flexibility w?ith both bat and ball. Her role as a top-order batter, combined with her handy medium pace, adds balance to the side. She?? can step up during the middle overs, rotating strike, and accelerating when necessary.

4. Sune Luus �?All-rounder

Sune Luus bring?s all-round capabilities and valuable experience to the middle order. Her leg-spin bowling will be crucial in Pakistani conditions that tend to assist spinners, while her batting provides stab?ility during the middle overs.

5. Chloe Tryon �?Middle-Order Power-Hitter

Chloe Tryon is South Africa’s explosive finisher. Her powerful hitting in the death overs can change the course of the game, and her ability to clear the boundary regularly makes her a key player. Additionally, her left-arm spin adds depth to the bowling attack.

6. Marizanne Kapp �?Fast Bowling All-rounder

Marizanne Kapp is South Africa’s premier all-rounder, with world-class abilities in both batting and bowling. Her role as a middle-order batter who can build partnerships a?nd her sharp bowling, especially with the new ball, make her a vital asset in any match.

7. Nadine de Klerk �?Seam-Bowling All-rounder

Nadine de Klerk provides another seam-bowling option and is a useful lower-order batter. Her ability to swing the ball and contain runs during the middle overs ??adds depth to the bowling attack, while her aggressive batting adds to South Africa’s lower-order resilience.

8. Sinalo Jafta �?Wicketkeeper

Sinalo Jafta will be tasked with keeping wicke??ts. Her agility behind the stumps, particularly when facing spin, will be crucial in conditions that favor slower bowlers. Her experience with glovework is an important asset to support the bowlers.

9. Ayabonga Khaka �?Fast Bowler

Ayabonga Khaka is an experienced fast bowler who will lead South Africa’s pace attack. Known for her accuracy and ability to bowl in crucial phases of the game, Khaka’s expertise in both the powerplay and death overs will be vital for South Africa.

10. Nonkululeko Mlaba �?Left-Arm Spinner

Nonkululeko Mlaba’s left-arm orthodox spin will be a key weapon in Pakistani conditions, which often favor spin bowlers. Her ability to tie down batters and take wickets in the middle overs will add control and balance to the bowling attack.

11. Tumi Sekhukhune �?Fast Bowler

Tumi Sekhukhune provides another pace option for the So??uth African team. Her ability to bowl tight lines and vary her pace makes her an effective bowler, particularly in the middle overs and when controlling the flow of runs is essential.

Ireland have announced their ODI and T20I squads for the upcoming white-ball series against South Africa, scheduled from September 28 to October 7 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

This series will mark Ireland’s return to limited-overs cricket following their disappointing campaign at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. A key decision was the exclusion of Test captain Andy Balbirnie?? from the T20I squad, despite his significant run-scoring history for I?reland.

Exclusion and recent struggles

Balbirnie, Ireland’s second-highest T20I run-scorer, has faced difficulties in recent months, averaging just 24.83 in 12 innings this year with a strike rate of 113.74. His absence from Leinster Lightning‘s most recent T20 match hinted at a potential change. Lorcan Tucker is likely to replace him as Paul Stirling‘s opening partner for the T20Is. National selector Andrew White explained the decision as part of exploring “new dynamics at the top of the order” in the T20 format. However, Balbirnie remains a key player in Ireland’s ODI plans and will return as an opener for the ODI series.

“We’ll be looking at introducing a new dynamic, with Andrew Balbirnie sitting out the T20Is on this occasion. There are only two T20Is in the upcoming series, but they will offer important opportunities as we try to increase our levels of performance,” White said in a statement release by C?ricket Ireland

Focus on a new cycle ahead of ICC events

White emphasized that this series against South Africa represents the start of a new cycle for Ireland, as they begin preparations for upcoming ICC events, including the Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 and the Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027. With these major tournaments on the horizon, the series will serve as an opportunity to test new combinat?ions and increase performance levels.

“2026 and 2027 are pivotal years for our white-ball squads – those years being the next T20 and 50-over World Cups respectively. Given their timeframes, it means we are looking at this upcoming series against South Africa as the start of a new cycle,” White concluded.

Key players and fresh faces

While experienced players like Paul Stirling, Mark Adair, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, and Harry Tector will feature in both squads, new faces like Matthew Humphreys and Ben White have been included in the T20I squad, signaling Ireland’s focus on building for the future. Notably, Josh Little is unavailable for the series due to his ongoing commitments in the Caribbean Premier League.

Uncapped leg-spinner Gavin Hoey is expected to make his ODI debut, while Gareth Delany is included only in the T20I squad. Changes from the 2024 T20 World Cup squad include the absence of both Balbirnie and Josh Little, replaced by emerging talents like Humphreys.

Series format and expectations

The series will consist of two T20Is followed by three ODIs. Ireland will look to impro?ve upon their recent form after a disappointing T20 World Cup and will seek redemption following previous bilateral series losses to South Africa. This series will also provide valuable experience as Ireland focuses on preparing for future ICC tournaments.

Australia registered a commanding 28-run victory over England in the first T20I at Southampton, securing a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Travis Head‘s explosive knock of 59 off just 23 balls set the tone for Australia, while their bowlers, led by Josh Hazlewood and Sean Abbott, ensured England never gained momentum in their chase. Head’s early fireworks and the collective bowling effort proved decisive as the visitors outclassed England in all departments.

Travis Head’s blistering start powers Australia to a competitive total

Head, opening the innings alongside Matthew Short, gave Australia a flying start. Head’s 59 off 23 balls included a flurry of boundaries and sixes, particularly in a game-changing over against Sam Curran, where he took 30 runs. His quickfire half-century came at a strike rate of 256.52, putting immense pressure on England’s bowlers. Together with Short, Head laid the foundation for Australia’s total of 179. The partnership accumulated 86 runs in the first six overs, with Head being the main aggressor, forcing England onto the back foot early on.

Australia’s middle-order struggles but Josh Inglis steadies the ship

Despite the strong start, Australia’s middle order wobbled with the dismissals of Mitchell Marsh, Marcus Stoinis and Tim David, all falling cheaply. England’s bowlers, led by Liam Livingstone, brought the home side back into contention during the middle overs. Livingstone’s all-round brilliance saw him take three key wickets, including Short and Stoinis. However, wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis provided stability in the middle order with a vital knock of 37 off 27 balls??. His contribution ensured Australia posted a challenging total of 179 in 19.3 overs, despite a late-order collapse.

England’s batting falters in the chase

England’s response was lackluster as they struggled to build momentum. Phil Salt, captaining the side for the first time, showed intent with 20 off 12 balls but fell early to Abbott. Will Jacks and debutant Jordan Cox failed to make significant contributions, leaving England in trouble. Livingstone’s 37 off 27 balls was the only notable performance with the bat, but his dismissal in the 14th over, courtesy of Josh Hazlewood, effectively ended England’s hopes. Hazlewood’s clever variation and Abbott’s relentless pressure saw England bundled out for 151, falling 28 runs short of the target.

Australian bowlers seal victory with disciplined effort

Australia’s bowling unit, led by Hazlewood, executed their plans to perfection. Hazlewood, returning from injury, claimed crucial wickets and applied pressure throughout the innings. Abbott was equally effective, taking three wickets, including key dismissals of Salt and Curran. The Australian bowlers used the conditions under the lights to their advantage, hitting hard lengths and making scoring difficult for England’s lower order. With England losing wickets at regular intervals, Australia cruised to victory, establishing an early lead in the series.

The historic rivalry between England and Australia is set to reignite as the two cricketing giants face off in a three-match T20I series. These arch-rivals clashed earlier this year in the T20 World Cup group stage, where Australia comfortably defeated England. Now, Phil Salt and his team will be looking for revenge in this exci??ting upcoming series.

England’s home advantage in T20Is against Australia

Historically, England have held a dominant position against Australia in T20Is on home soil. Out of nine matches played in England, the hosts have won?? six. Australia have never won a bilateral T20I series in England, and their last attempt, in 2020, ended in a 2-1 victory for England. With the home crowd and record in their favour, England will be eager to extend their winning run in this series.

Australia’s winning momentum and recent form

Australia will enter this series with momentum on their side, having recently swept Scotland 3-0 in a T20I series. Their dominant form and recent victory over England in the T20 World Cup 2024 group stage will boost their confidence. Australia will be keen to carry their winning streak into this series and break their win??less streak in bilateral T?20I series in England.

Venues and schedule for the series

The series will be hosted in three f??amous English venues, with the first two T20Is being night matches. Southampton and Cardiff will host the first two games, while the final T20I will take place in Manchester. England will look to make the most of home condition??s as they aim to settle the score against their fierce rivals.

T20I series schedule against England

W??ith these matches being played in quick succession, both teams will need to be at their best to gain an early advantage in the series.

Australia’s World Cup setback and recent form

Australia, after a strong group stage performance at the recent T20 World Cup 2024, faced an unexpected exit in the Super 8 stage, largely due to a surprising 21-run defeat to a determined Afghanistan side. Despite this disappointment, the Aussies have had an ideal lead-up to this series, sweeping Scotland 3-0 in a T20 series with some dominant and record breaking performance from their core players. Mitchell Marsh will lead a new-look Australian side. While the series against Scotland was a relatively easy assignment, the up?coming matches against England could be a much sterner test.

Australia has made some key additions to their squad, welcoming Josh Hazlewood and Matt Short.

Australia defeated Scotland by a commanding margin of 70 runs in the 2nd T20I, securing an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

Marcus Stoinis’ all-round brilliance

Stoinis played a pivotal role in Australia’s comprehensive victory, contributing significantly with both bat and ball. While his batting, a steady 20 off 20 balls, provided a strong finish to Australia’s innings, it was his bowling that truly stood out. Stoinis’ figures of 4/23 in 3.4 overs dismantled Scotland’s middle and lower order, ensuring that the hosts never posed a serious threat in their chase. His clever use of variations and ability to bowl in crucial moments made him a key asset in Australia’s defense of their total.

Scotland’s struggles in the chase

Chasing a challenging target of 197, Scotland’s innings faltered early with the dismissals of Michael Jones and George Munsey within the first three overs. Brandon McMullen offered some resistance with a well-crafted 59 off 42 balls, but he lacked support from the other end. Scotland’s batting lineup crumbled under the pressure applied by Australia’s bowlers, particularly Stoinis and Cameron Green, who combined to take six?? wickets between them. The hosts were eventually bowled out for 126 in 16.4 overs, falling 70 run?s short of the target.

Josh Inglis achieved a remarkable milestone in his cricketing career by smashing a sensational 43-ball century during the 2nd T20I of the three-game series against Scotland for Australia.

Josh Inglis: Surpassing Australian legends

Inglis put on an electrifying display of power hitting, striking seven fours and an equal number of sixes. Inglis’ innings was noteworthy as he surpassed the records of Australian greats Aaron Finch and Glenn Maxwell, who had previously scored T20I centuries off 47 balls each. Inglis’ rapid hundred marked him the fastest century-maker for Australia in T20 internationals.

An explosive knock at Grange Cricket Club against Scotland

In the match at Grange Cricket Club, Edinburgh, Inglis powered his way to 103 runs off just 49 balls. His innings featured seven boundaries and seven maximums. The explosive wicketkeeper-batter came to the crease with Australia struggling at 11/1 and quickly turned the tide in their favor. Inglis forged a crucial 92-run partnership for the third wicket with Cameron Green, who contributed ??36 runs. Inglis�?aggressive approach lit up the Edinburgh crowd as he raced to 28 runs from just 12 balls within the powerplay, with Australia reaching 55/2.

Both his fifty and century were brought up with sixes, showcasing his dominant hitting. Australia eventually posted a competitive total of 196/4. Inglis was dismissed in the 19th over by Christopher Sole. Attempting to loft ??a back-of-a-length delivery over the in-field, Inglis was caught at extra cover after the ball struck high on his bat.

A growing T20I career

Inglis’ century was achieved at a strike rate of 210.20, adding another feather to his cap with his elegant and powerful shot-making. Over the course of 23 T20I matches, Inglis has accumulated 600 runs at an average of 31.57, with an impressive strike rate of 161.72.

He has now amassed 3,211 runs at an average of over 29, with a superb strike rate exceeding 147. I??nglis joins the elite list of Australian batters with multiple T20I centuries, matching Finch (2) and sitting just behind Maxwell, who has five T20I tons to his name.

Jos Buttler‘s tenure as England’s white-ball captain has faced scrutiny following a series of disappointing performances. Despite leading England to the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2024 in the United States of America (USA) and the West Indies, his captaincy has come under the microscope due to the team’s overall underwhelming performance.

Jos Buttler’s captaincy record in white-ball cricket for England

England’s early exit from the ODI World Cup 2023 and their inability to defend their T20 World Cup title have intensified the debate over his future as captain. Buttler has led England in 39 ODIs since 2016, with a record of 18 wins and 20 losses (plus one no result). In T20Is, he has a slightly better record, with 22 victories and 19 defeats from 41 matches. These results, coupled with the recent disappointing campaigns, have fueled concerns about his leadership and the team’s direction.

Marcus Trescothick’s verdict

Despite the ongoing criticisms, Marcus Trescothick, England’s interim white-ball coach, remained a staunch supporter of Buttler. Speaking to Sky Sports, Trescothick emphasized Buttler’s exceptional leadership qualities and his ability to keep the team unified despite recent challenges. Trescothick acknowledged the disruptions caused by the recent World Cup campaigns but firmly believes that Buttler is the right person to lead the team forward.

“I think he is the right person to lead the team. The attributes he shows behind the scenes are really important to lead this team. For whatever reason, the tough couple of World Cups they have had, they’ve potentially come out of those not feeling great about our one-day cricket, but it’s still in a really good place and Jos is going to lead that forward for a period of time at the moment, and I don’t see that changing,” Trescothick said.

Buttler’s injury and future prospects

However, Buttler’s availability for the upcoming T20I series against Australia remains uncertain due to a calf injury. He has not played competitive cricket since the T20 World Cup semi-final against India. Trescothick has been appointed as interim head coach for the series against Australia, which includes three T20Is and five ODIs, following Matthew Mott‘s departure.

Looking ahead, Buttler’s future as captain will continue to be a topic of discussion, especially with the arrival of Brendon McCullum, who will take over as England’s new white-ball coach. Despite the challenges and criticisms, Trescothick’s confidence in Buttler’s leadership suggests that he will continue to play a pivotal role in England’s white-ball cricket in the near future.
