Cape Town City will be targeting back-to-back home wins on Friday night when they host Black Leopards at the Cape Town Stadium in the Absa Premiership.

Supersport have won two MTN 8 trophies and two Nedbank Cup trophies, and also reached the CAF Confederation Cup final in 2017, but lost to TP Mazembe from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The Bafana Bafana international was born in Cape Town but left SA at the age of six.

Supersport United Captain Dean Furman is still not sure if he will remain with the team beyond this season.

Patrick Kelly, Chief Director for Price Statistics, provides a quick overview of how inflation fared in 2019.

The two games against the Zimbabwean Warriors will be the Limpopo river derbies as the two teams boast players who know each other very well, competing weekly against each other in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) and some are teammates.

History shows that Bafana have a poor record against Ghana in the qualifiers, they failed to qualify to the 2006 World Cup in Germany after losing both games against the Black Stars.

Bafana Bafana have been handed a fairly balanced draw for the second round of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers following the draw which was held in Cairo, Egypt last night.

Supersport has been competing with the big boys in the league, when it comes to winning trophies. They have won the league title three times and also multiple trophies in the last few years.

The MTN 8 Champions have not been without a sponsor since the petroleum company Engen ended their relationship with the Tshwane team at the beginning of the season.

Pretoria-born Du Plessis has, however, admitted that the Proteas are facing a tough time and the players need to be strong in order for them to survive, especially in the upcoming fourth Test match against England.

The 35-year-old Du Plessis also said that he is going to be part of the Proteas squad until maybe after the Test series against the West Indies in July and August this year.

Proteas captain Faf du Plessis is not retiring just yet following uninspiring performances in the last two Test matches, which the South African national team lost to England.

Rabada is expected to be replaced by left-arm quick Beuran Hendricks in the starting 11 while Temba Bavuma looks set to make a much-anticipated comeback.

With the appointment of the new coaching staff and their consultants, Rabada also hinted that maybe there could be a little too much interference in how the team should actual execute their duties out on the field.

The 24-year-old Rabada, however, left his teammates with some words of encouragement despite his and the teams’ hardships in the titanic series with the English leading 2-1 going into the last Test at the Imperial Wanderers.

The ban also means that Rabada, who has taken 197 wickets for the Proteas in just 43 Tests at an average of 22.98, will miss out on the opportunity to reach the magical 200 Test Wickets milestone in his home ground, in front of his home fans.

Proteas fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has confessed that being banned by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for the Wanderers Test match has been hurting but has vowed to stop letting himself and his team down in future.
