ENG vs SA Dream11 Prediction : South Africa Vs England Best Dream 11 Team for Second T20 Match
SA Vs ENG Dream11 Team Probable Playing 11, Toss, Pitch And Match Report: Hosts step out with aspirations of wrapping up the series today.After a cliff-hanger of a series opener, the action resumes with the second T20 taking over the cricketing fraternity after just the space of a day. Given the way the first encounter unfolded, we are bound to be immersed in yet another humdinger between two worldclass units.The match contested on Wednesday was a pure thriller, a crackling contest which persistently changed hands before finally nestling South Africa’s way. England’s approach in the last two overs was baffling with the visitors ruing what should have been a relatively easy win as they failed to chase down 7 runs in the final over to see South Africa defend their 177 by the sole run. Where England will be left dejected after that display, the hosts on the other hand will be immensely buoyed by the composure they showed to seal a tie which looked to be a lost cause. They’ll be bolstered ahead of today’s forthcoming…

'We’d love to see people use their tickets': Sooners, like most of college hoops, struggle to draw fans
NORMAN — Lloyd Noble Center was a stunning sight Wednesday night. The seats behind the baskets were virtually all empty for the OU-Iowa State basketball game. The seats in the corners contained scattered fans. Only the seats between the baselines were reasonably populated, and then only in the lower bowl. The Sooners produced an old-school result — a 90-61 rout in which six players scored in double figures, like it was 1990. But the attendance was alarming: a school-estimated 4,240, with 8,235 tickets sold. It might have been the smallest crowd for a conference game in 40 years. Kenny Mossman didn’t sleep well Wednesday night, having just come from the game. “Disappointed is probably the word that
