Sports Betting And Weekend Sports Highlights For 14-16 February 2020

BET Central’s Best Moments from the Weekend: 14-16 Feb

Another beautiful weekend of sport is complete, so the BET Central office selected the best moments of the weekend.

Dale Steyn may have retired from the longer formats of international cricket, but the Phalaborwa Express looks hungry to make an impression in the 20-over game, especially with the World Cup looming later this year. Not only is he back, he returned to become South Africa’s all time leading wicket taker in the format, edging Imran Tahir.

Steyn’s presence is needed in what is an inexperienced bowling unit, knowing KG and Imran Tahir could potentially return to the setup, the Proteas stocks don’t look as bad despite the series loss. Steyn has also added a beautiful slower ball into his arsenal which bamboozled Bairstow and Stokes over the weekend.

44 Matches | 62 Wickets. becomes South Africa’s leading T20 wicket-taker ??

Maritzburg United gave PSL table-toppers Kaizer Chiefs a timely wake-up call in the title race after beating them 2-1. Unbelievably, rivals Orlando Pirates are trailing them by just six points while Sundowns are poised to strike with a game in hand and seven points to make up.

? Kaizer Chiefs were out claased by on Saturday.

Maritzburg win – 5.00
Over 2.5 goals – 1.21
Correct score – 16.50

? Did anyone cash in?

Despite not winning a series, it seems the Proteas might have stumbled upon an opening partnership they can invest in this summer.

Both captain Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma have seen their reputations enhanced, if that was even possible for de Kock. Although former player Herschelle Gibbs does not believe Bavuma should be partnering de Kock up top.

Their partnerships over the white-ball leg of the tour:

1st ODI – 173
2nd ODI – N/A
3rd ODI – 66
1st T20I – 48
2nd T20I – 92
3rd T20I – 84

QDK Bavuma limited-overs partnerships ever:

159, 119, 57, 64*, 173, 66, 48, 92, 84.

Only one less than 50 stand (48) in nine innings together.

Toulouse made an unbelievably bold move by selecting winger Cheslin Kolbe at 10 against Racing. The South African superstar not only excelled, but he was also meticulous with the boot landing a 45m penalty.

Unfortunately, Kolbe’s 10 points from the tee are not enough as Klemenczak scored a try after the buzzer as Racing claimed a 30-27 victory. However, we are still allowed to be in awe of Kolbe’s talent.

We missed his debut performance where he claimed 4/36 two weeks ago, so when the young Ntini bagged another 4-wicket haul this Sunday, we thought it is only right to shoehorn him in this weekend. The son of Proteas legend Makahaya Ntini, the 19-year old’s talent is evident for all to see. He is said to have his father’s work ethic as well.

Thando Ntini has taken 4/36 against the Lions to move to the top of the bowlers charts. What a debut franchise season it’s been so far for the young man.

Lazio came from a goal down to beat fellow title contenders, Inter Milan, 2-1 at home. The victory means Lazio jump ahead of Inter into second place just one point behind Serie A leaders Juventus, while they also extended their unbeaten run to 19 matches. Juventus are not their usual indomitable self his season so this means the Scudetto race is wide open.

1️⃣ Juventus | 57 points
2️⃣ Lazio | 56 points
3️⃣ Inter | 54 points

A riveting title race in Serie A ?

The Cape franchise looked to have thrown the game away after leading the Lions for the majority of their pulsating Super Rugby derby. Fortunately for the Cape side, Ruhan Nel went over late in the piece to secure their third win of the season and maintain their unbeaten start.

Here is that dramatic late try in the 82nd minute by Ruhan Nel that saw the steal a victory against the for the first time since 2015 at Emirates Airline Park ??
