Latest Cricket News and Stories in South Africa

If you love cricket and want to stay on top of what’s happening, you’re in the right spot. This page gathers the newest match reports, player news, and upcoming fixtures that matter to fans across South Africa and the continent.

Recent Match Highlights

The most talked‑about game this week was Zimbabwe’s decision to bat first after winning the toss against Bangladesh in the second Test at Chattogram. The win gave them a chance to sweep the series, something they haven’t done in years. Young debutant Vincent Masekesa showed promise alongside seasoned players like Craig Ervine and Sean Williams.

Bangladesh, missing star batsman Liton Das, struggled to keep pace but managed a few stubborn partnerships that kept the game interesting. The pitch offered good bounce for both sides, making it a classic test battle where bowlers and batters had equal chances.

What’s Coming Up?

Looking ahead, South Africa’s domestic season is heating up. The Betway Premiership continues with teams like the Kaizer Chiefs (yes, they also play cricket in their community programs) pushing for a strong finish. Keep an eye on the upcoming clash between the Titans and the Lions – it could decide who leads the table.

On the international front, the ICC’s calendar shows a T20 series between South Africa and Namibia later this month. Those games are perfect for fans who enjoy fast‑paced action and want to see local talent shine on a bigger stage.

Don’t miss the upcoming CAF Champions League quarter‑finals featuring Esperance de Tunis and Mamelodi Sundowns. While it’s football, many clubs use the same stadiums for cricket matches during the off‑season, so you might catch a double‑header if you’re at the venue.

For those tracking player moves, watch the transfer window as clubs scout talent from neighboring countries. Rumors are swirling around Zimbabwean fast bowler Blessing Muzarabani possibly joining an English county side – a move that could boost his experience ahead of the next test series.
