Faf du Plessis likely to plays for Super Kings in the CSA T20 League

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have signed former South Africa national cricket team skipper Faf du Plessis as the marquee for the upcoming Cricket South Africa (CSA) T20 League.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/faf-du-plessis-csa-league-11_08_2022.jpg">Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Faf du Plessis has renewed his association with the Chennai Super Kings as he has reportedly been signed by the franchise to be the marquee for the Cricket South Africa (CSA) League which begins early next year.The inaugural edition of the CSA T20 League is scheduled to take place in January-February 2023 and all six franchises in the tournament have been taken over by the current Indian Premier League (IPL) team owners.The former South African skipper was part of CSK for almost a decade from 2011 to 2021, with the exception of 2016 and 2017 when the franchise was banned from participating in the IPL. Du Plessis was priced away by the Bangalore-based franchise at the 2022 auction as CSK were unable to retain their erratic talent.Notably, the CSA T20 League will clash with the inaugural edition of the UAE's ILT20, which is due to start next year. The tournament will take place from January 6th to February 12th. Also, the Big Bash League (BBL) is played alongside the UAE's ILT20 and CSA T20 League. The 12th edition of the BBL will take place from December 13th to February 4th. 

Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians owners bought the Cape Town franchise, Lucknow Super Giants owners bought the Durban franchise, and Chennai Super Kings owners bought the Johannesburg franchise.CSA league authorities have asked franchises to submit a five-player list of the top priority. The list must include one South African, three foreign players with no more than two from the same country, and one uncapped player.Faf du Plessis will be Super Kings’ one capped SA international signing pre-auctionApart from Moeen and Theekshana, the Joburg Super Kings are expected to sign another overseas player and also a local uncapped South African player before the auction, apart from Faf who will fall into the capped South Africa internationals category. 

Due to the captaincy experience that Faf du Plessis has not only in international cricket but also in various leagues, he is the frontrunner in taking over the captaincy of the Joburg Super Kings as CSK's captain MS Dhoni will not play in the team's CSA league. However, Dhoni could play a key decision-making role for the Super Kings if BCCI allows him to be part of the CSA league.

I enjoy the English conditions ."Ireland were chasing an excellent 78 from 38 through the 17th over of their innings from Lorcan Tucker, who laid down 86 for the sixth wicket with George Dockrell (43 from 28).But as those two fell in back-to-back deliveries, their efforts fizzled as they finished with 190 for nine, with spinners Keshav Maharaj (2-29) and Tabraiz Shamsi (2-37) the South African bowlers' choice.Death bowling specialist Wayne Parnell proved his worth for everything he scored on the last ball before tail ender Barry McCarthy's innings for six as Ireland went 190-9.Left arm paceman Parnell scored figures of 2-36, reserve Proteas captain Keshav Maharaj clinched 2-29 with his left arm spin and leg spinner Tabraiz Shamsi 2-37.

“Congratulations @OfficialCSA on winning the series. I have to say that the way SA has evolved over the past year or so has been brilliant. You are definitely one of the hot contenders for the T20 World Championship now. #ENGvSA,” he said in a tweet after the game.An excellent performance by both teams in all three games kept the series entertaining for the fans. South Africa opener Reeza Hendricks scored half a century in all three games in the series.Riley Russo also put on an excellent show in two matches. The bat was only 6 years shy of the second game. Tristan Stubbs was also excellent in the first game but that wasn't enough for South Africa to win that game.

At the 2021 World Cup, South Africa failed to qualify after the Super 12 stage of the competition. They finished second with Australia, but ended up third in the rankings due to their low net run rate.

With that win, South Africa won the series 2-1, beating a top-flight English side on home soil. 

"It's definitely a privilege to play 100 games for the country. I thought our opening games were good. The batters batted well throughout the series. We quickly forgot about the first game and recovered phenomenally. Stubbs has improved at domestic cricket. We support our process of the last 18 months. Our guys put their hands up and played at key moments," Miller said in a post-game presentation.In their first innings, South Africa scored 191/5 in their 20 overs. Hendricks (70) and Markram (51*) were the leading batsmen for Proteas, who also saw contributions from Rilee Rossouw and captain David Miller. Medium speed David Willey (3/25) scored the most goals for England. 

Chasing 192, England had a decent opening 28-run stand between Jason Roy and Jos Buttler. But after Keshav Maharaj sacked Buttler for 14, the hosts started dropping wickets regularly. Jonny Bairstow tried to hold on to one end but eventually ran out of partners. He was the last man to be sacked by Maharaj for 27. 

England were tied for just 101 runs and lost the match by 90 runs, giving the series to the Proteas. 

Shamsi was the leading bowler for South Africa when he destroyed the lower middle order and tail with his 5/24. Maharaj took two wickets while Nortje, Markram and Andile Phehlukwayo each took one wicket. 

Shamsi won the Man of the Match award for his brilliant performance, while Hendricks received the Man of the Series award for 180 runs in the series. He scored half a century in all three games. 

Summary: South Africa 191/5 (Reeza Hendricks 70, Aiden Markram 51*, David Willey 3/25) beat England: 101 in 16.4 overs (Jonny Bairstow 27, Jason Roy 17, Tabraiz Shamsi 5/24) with 90 runs.

WATCH: South Africa's Stubbs takes a sensational catch against England

The commentators couldn't contain their amusement as the steaks were already extremely high as the game in Southampton was the crucial one between both teams. 

Part-timer Aiden Markram was brought in bowling and he bowled a nothing delivery that Moeen could only spoon into the ceiling. Stubbs flew left and grabbed the looping ball with his left hand in a dive.Tristan Stubbs superb catch at Southampton 
The special piece of catching was observed towards the end of the 10th over in England's batting effort in the second inning. Ali needed another 133 runs from 61 deliveries in a seemingly hopeless chase, trying to take down Markram for a few borders.The part-time off-spinner's ball caught the surface just slightly, but enough to dodge his downswing and set off a top edge that flew to the left of Stubbs, who was well placed from the usual short position in the middle of the wicket.However, the young cricketer still covered the ground and pulled off a superb catch, diving for the ball at the last moment and sending his team off with a one-handed stunner.South Africa were first seeded with a 191/5 score by Reeza Hendricks and Aiden Markam. Both reached their half-century. Rilee Rossouw also played a handy knock from 31 runs while David Miller managed 22 runs with just 9 deliveries. 

In return, England were knocked over for 101 runs when Tabraiz Shamsi grabbed a five for Keshav Maharaj who removed Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow. 

South Africa recorded a 2-1 series win while Jos Buttler is struggling to settle down as the new ODI captain.
