T20 series are being conducted in many foreign countries after watching the IPL series which shines as the number one T20 series in the world. In that way, the T20 series conducted by the South African board under the name of Mzansi League has already met with failure. However, undeterred, the board of the country has started a new series called CSA T20 Challenge. The managements of Chennai, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi, Lucknow and Rajasthan, which have teams in the IPL series, have bought a total of 6 teams playing in this series. In that situation, the first season of this series started on 10th January with a bang and is going on briskly.
MI Cape Town and Sunrisers Eastern Cape clashed in the 12th league match held on January 17. After winning the toss and declaring to bowl first, Cape Town posted a stunning 171/6 in 20 overs at the most beautiful Newlands cricket ground in South Africa with a backdrop of beautiful mountain ranges. Grand Rollopsen scored 56 (36) and Ryan Rickeldon scored 46 (36) while Odin Smith 25* (13) and Bodkidder 21* (13) gave a good finish.
I am the great Rashid Khan:
Mervee and Bartman took maximum 2 wickets each for Sunrisers. Chasing 172 runs, the main batsmen like Rossington 11, JJ Smuts 4, Ervey 18, Captain Aidan Markram 12, Trishan Stubbs 28 were all disappointed by the star bowlers Zobra Archer, Rabada and Rashid Khan. So the story was considered over as the team slumped to 91/5 in 12.1 overs with no further batsmen.

But the young South African all-rounder Marco Jansson, who came on the field at that time, gave a challenge by displaying a dynamic batting that no one expected. Taking some time to settle in the beginning, he left the commentators and fans speechless by hitting consecutive boundaries of 6, 4, 6, 6, 0, 6 in the 16th over bowled by Rashid Khan, who is considered the world’s number one T20 spin bowler.
In particular, Marco Janssen, who created a turning point in the match by blasting 28 runs in one over as an assault in the form of “Nnanka Periya Rashid Khan”, followed with that self-confidence by hitting more action boundaries like 2, 4, 6, 6, 6 in the 17th and 19th overs by Rabada to confirm the victory. Out to Rabada. However, his brutal knock of 66 off just 27 balls with 3 fours and 7 sixes at a strike rate of 244.44 saved Sunrisers amassing 172/8 in 19.3 overs to win by just 2 wickets.

On the other hand, the MI team who had the victory in hand, had to face defeat as Sam Karan and Rashid Khan gave Sothappi runs at an economy of more than 11 in the last over. Especially Rashid Khan’s rare half-century of 53 runs in 4 overs was staged in this match. Fans on social media are praising Marco Janssen who attacked Rashid Khan in such an aggressive manner.

More than that, it was Rashid who thrashed Marco Janssen 6, 1, 6, 0, 6, 6 when 20 runs were needed in the last over of a match for Hyderabad in the 2022 IPL. Now fans are celebrating that he has taken revenge for it.
