SA20 tournament has seen nearly two weeks of high octane action and the excitement just doesn’t seem to stop. The game between Pretoria Capitals and Mumbai Indians Cape Town was a compelling affair. The Capitals displayed their might with the bat and ball to record a huge win by 52 runs. The star of the day with the bat for Pretoria Capitals was newest English sensation Will Jacks.
Jacks re-enacts Kohli’s six versus Haris Rauf –
Jofra Archer is making his return to cricket after nearly 2 years out due to injury. The 27 year old is using this tournament to get back into form and rhythm. Will Jacks, though had other ideas for his fellow Englishman by playing the shot of the tournament. Jacks, got one on a length and Jacks just stood up and hit it straight over the head of Archer for a huge six. This was reminiscent of the six hit by Kohli off Haris Rauf during the T20 world cup last year.
