Malan, Bedingham hit tons as Cobras strengthen grip
Centuries by Janneman Malan and David Bedingham led a fine all-round batting display by the World Sports Betting Cape Cobras as they strengthened their grip on the bizhub Highveld Lions after the second day of their 4-Day Domestic Series clash in Johannesburg on Tuesday. There were also half-centuries for three others in an utterly dominant showing by the visitors. They amassed 529 all out – a colossal lead of 425 – with the host then replying by reaching 11 for none when bad light ended play around an hour early. It left the Cobras in a powerful position at the halfway stage of the game. The Cape side had started the morning on 204 for two at the Bidvest Wanderers Stadium with Malan and Bedingham extending their third-wicket partnership from 107 overnight to 178. That was when the latter fell for 102 (153 balls, 13 fours, 3 sixes), having completed his maiden franchise ton and fifth overall in only his second franchise game. Malan, also in his second game at this level, went on to record his eight-career ton and first in four-day cricket as he made 137 (249 balls, 16 fours, 1 six). Both fell either side of 300, with Kyle Verreynne and Jason Smith adding 96 for the sixth wicket after they hit 65s off 73 balls (8 fours, 2 sixes) and 100 balls (7 fours) respectively. Then came the third half-century of the innings by captain Dane Piedt, who blasted 57 off 68 balls (10 fours) that ensured the Cobras’ innings ended with a flourish. Left-armer Beuran Hendricks was the best of the bowlers with five for 101 – his 16th career five-wicket haul. The Lions then batted five overs and reached 11 without loss, before play ended 18 overs early with the home side trailing by 414.
Cobras outplay Lions with both bat and ball
Three wickets apiece from Tladi Bokako, Lizaad Williams and Jason Smith led a sensational bowling performance by the World Sports Betting Cape Cobras as they dismantled the bizhub Highveld Lions on the opening day of their 4-Day Domestic Series encounter in Johannesburg on Monday. Janneman Malan and David Bedingham then drove home the advantage by hitting unbeaten half-centuries to help the visitors reach stumps in complete control at the Bidvest Wanderers Stadium. The pair were batting together with the Cobras on 204 for two, having earlier rolled over the Lions for just 104 in 32.1 overs. For the hosts, their performance would have brought back memories of a poor last season and quickly erased the good work they had done last week when they began 2018/19 with a win over the Warriors. New coach Enoch Nkwe saw his side win the toss and elect to bat at the start, but that was about the only thing that went their way. Openers Stephen Cook (2) and Omphile Ramela (1) were sent packing in the opening four overs by Bokako (3/31). There was only one passage of play that went their way when Dominic Hendricks (30) and Reeza Hendricks (41) added 67 for the third wicket. But both were taken out by Williams (3/40) as the Lions horribly lost their way from 71 for two to 104 all out – a colossal collapse of eight for 33. Smith was the man that ripped through the tail with figures of three for 17. Zubayr Hamza (31) helped the Cobras reach 97 for two before he fell, but it was then the Malan and Bedingham show as the pair recorded their highest scores at franchise level. The pair, playing only their second matches, scored an unbeaten 90 (158 balls, 12 fours, 1 six) and 65 (88 balls, 8 fours, 3 sixes) respectively and shared in an unbroken 107-run stand that left the game heavily tilted in their favour.

Egypt equalise late to draw World Cup warmup against Kuwait
Egypt equalise late to draw World Cup warmup against Kuwait KUWAIT CITY (Reuters) - Egypt’s Ayman Ashraf equalised nine minutes from fulltime as they drew 1-1 away to Kuwait on Friday in the first of three warmup matches before they head to the World Cup in Russia next month. Fahad Al Ansari scored after six minutes for the Gulf country, but substitute Ashraf squeezed home a square pass from Mahmoud Kahraba for the 81st-minute equaliser. Egypt were without talisman Mohamed Salah, who will play for Liverpool in Saturday’s Champions League final against Real Madrid, and found it hard to break down their defensive-minded hosts. Egypt goalkeeper Sherif Ekramy, making a late bid to be included in their final 23-man World Cup squad, made several good saves to strengthen his chances of going to the tournament. Egypt play Colombia on June 1 and Belgium on June 6 in their final warmup games before they head to the World Cup, where they are in Group A with Uruguay, hosts Russia and Saudi Arabia.

South Africa vs Burkina Faso 3-1 All Goals and Highlights World Cup Qualifiers October 07 ,2017
By Soccer Highlight TV South Africa vs Burkina Faso 3-1 All Goals and Highlights World Cup Qualifiers October 07 ,2017 ********************************************* Bafana kept their 2018 World Cup hopes alive with victory over the Stallions on Saturday Three first half goals Percy Tau, Themba Zwane and Sibusiso Vilakazi gave South Africa an impressive victory over Burkina Faso on Saturday. The South Africa national team looked to revive their 2018 Fifa World Cup hopes when they hosted Burkina Faso in Johannesburg. The clash was a must-win for Bafana Bafana, who found themselves in a precarious situation with qualification hanging in the balance following back-to-back defeats to Cape Verde as well as Fifa’s decision to replay the fixture between Bafana and Senegal hampering their campaign. Ahead of the clash, an under-fire Stuart Baxter, named a strong attacking line-up. The 64-year-old gave the foreign based midfield trio of Bongani Zungu, Kamohelo Mokotjo and Andile Jali a start, while the absence of defenders Eric Mathoho and Thulani Hlatshwayo saw Baxter give the SuperSport pair of Morgan Gould and Clayton Daniels a starting berth in front of a sparse crowd at the FNB Stadium. ******************************************************************** Thanks for watching ,please subscribe and leave a comment bellow if you like this video Our Facebook Page : https://goo.gl/FHMHZP Our Twitter Page: https://goo.gl/j4pcnK
