As part of the 2021 edition of the ICC Awards, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced Janneman Malan of South Africa and Fatima Sana of Pakistan as the Emerging Cricketers of the Year 2021 across men’s and women’s international cricket respectively.

South Africa after being asked to bat posted 287 in 49.5 overs and in response India was restricted to 283 in 49.2 overs.

While South Africa have been right on the money in the ODIs, India have been off the boil.

South Africa took a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series against India as they claimed the first match by 31 runs.

South African opener Janneman Malan ended up as the highest run-getter in the three-match ODI series between South Africa and Ireland, scoring 261 runs from just two innings.

South Africa captain Temba Bavuma said after their maiden loss to Ireland in ODIs that the visitors had not taken Balbirnie & Co lightly.

Andrew Balbirnie delivered a captain’s knock as Ireland Men pulled off their first-ever victory over South Africa in the second game of the DafaNews Cup ODI series at Malahide..

Malan brothers Janneman and Pieter both recorded unbeaten half-centuries before rain intervened to help the Six Gun Grill Cape Cobras book their ticket to the Momentum One-Day Cup semi-finals with a 41-run Duckworth/Lewis win over the Warriors in Potchefstroom on Saturday.

Star opening batsman Janneman Malan expects the inaugural 3TeamCricket Solidarity Cup match, presented by Rain, on Saturday to be of the highest quality.
