SA20 League: Zainab Abbas – Pakistani sports presenter Zainab Abbas captured the hearts of many in a SA20 match on January 18 in Centurion Cricket in South Africa. The young presenter is seen covering the occasion in a video posted by SuperSport on Twitter. She can be heard saying, “the ball is coming straight towards us,” as the ball sails through the air as she comments on the game. She is interrupted in mid-sentence when the fielder who is closest to her jumps to stop the ball. It’s rather endearing to witness the young presenter fall to the ground, but she gets up right afterwards and asks her colleague, “Are you okay?” Then she quips, “It seems we are okay. it seems we have rather survived.” Follow SA20 League LIVE updates with InsideSport.IN

Coming to the match, the Sunrisers Eastern Cape, playing against a star-studded MI Cape Town, pulled off one of the most astounding triumphs by chasing down a difficult target of 172. The Sunrisers managed to pull off a spectacular chase despite losing half of their team before reaching the 100-run mark, all thanks to Marco Jansen’s scorching 66 off just 27 deliveries.
Despite winning, the Sunrisers still occupy the fifth spot in the standings after winning two and losing two of their four games, with a net run rate of -0.579. However, despite having only two victories and three losses in their five games, the Mumbai Indians Cape Town are still in second position thanks to their superior net run rate of +0.264.
