SA win toss and bat.

Looks like Jason Roy plays. Have watched plenty of franchise cricket the last few months and he's really in a bad place with his batting. Scratching for runs and timing, can't find the middle. Really surprised he plays when you look how some of the alternatives have been playing.

Haha. Well he's bound to hit a good knock every now and then... His form has been atrocious leading up to this game though.

You’re right but hopefully this is the start of a turnaround. He’s a massive asset when he’s in-form.

Defeat snatched from the jaws of victory...

Back to normal from Roy today. Looks completely lost out there, hard to believe he got a ton the other day.
