Overseas Round-Up: SA20, ILT20 Continue & Donald Goes Big
Overseas Round-Up: SA20, ILT20 Continue & Donald Goes Big
During the winter months, many Hampshire players have continued playing cricket around the globe
Having started in December, the Big Bash League (BBL) came to an end over the weekend. Brisbane Heat finished as runners-up as they narrowly lost the final to Perth Scorchers. Ross Whiteley finished his stint with the Heat having played in nine matches – scoring 74 runs and taking three wickets in total.
Hampshire Hawks’ overseas duo from 2022, Ben McDermott and Nathan Ellis, were part of the Hobart Hurricanes side that finished in sixth place. Ellis ended the competition with 18 wickets, which included a hat-trick against Sydney Thunder. McDermott, meanwhile, scored a total of 196 runs, with two half-centuries.
The International League T20 (ILT20) and SA20 tournaments have been running simultaneously, with a few Hampshire players taking part in both.
James Vince has been in fine form during his spell in Abu Dhabi where he is captaining the Gulf Giants. His 321 runs have come at an average of 45.85, with a best of 83*. Liam Dawson is also with the Giants and has 37 runs and two wickets to his name.
Benny Howell is also playing in the ILT20 and joined up with the Desert Vipers, after playing two games in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) for Rangpur Riders. His 54 runs have come at an average of 27.00 and he also has picked up four wickets so far.
The Giants and the Vipers will meet in the Qualifier after finishing first and second respectively.
Brad Wheal plyed in two ILT20 matches for MI Emirates.
In the SA20, Adi Birrell has helped his Sunrisers Eastern Cape side to qualify for the semi-final – with James Fuller and Mason Crane playing their parts. Fuller has 76 runs, with a best of 27 not out, while Crane has taken one wicket.
Following the end of the BBL, McDermott also joined up with Durban’s Super Giants for their final three SA20 games and scored a total of 46 runs.
Elsewhere in South Africa, Aneurin Donald was signed by Rondebosche in the Western Province Premier League. Most recently he made a stunning 159 not out from just 47 deliveries. The innings included 12 fours and 16 sixes.
Young Toby Albert has continued to impress for Joondalup in Australia. He now has 493 runs at an average of 27.39 from his 19 matches.
Fletcha Middleton’s spell with Cape Town is still ongoing and the 20-year-old has now scored 319 runs in his 17 matches.
