Ngemuva kokubambezeleka kaningana, iNdebe yoMhlaba Yomdlalo weKhilikithi i-ICC kulindeleke ukuthi iqale kule mpelasonto – njengoba ikhilikithi ekugcineni izikhulula emaketangeni egciwane le-corona.
Lo mqhudelwano uzoqala ngeSonto, lapho i-Oman izodlala khona ne-Papua New Guinea emini, kanti i-Bangladesh izobhekena ne-Scotland ngehora le-4 ntambama emidlalweni emibili yokuvula.
Kuningi ongakujabulela ngefomethi ye-T20 ye-“blink-and-you-miss-it”. Iyashesha futhi ayikhombisi uzwelo njengoba abadlali beshaya amabhola ibanga elide, okubashiya besengozini yokubanjwa.
Lo mqhudelwano awukaze ube nomusa ngokukhethekile eNingizimu Afrika kuze kube manje, njengoba ama-Proteas kusamele anqobe lo mqhudelwano. Imiphumela yabo emihle kube ukuhlula kowandulela owamanqamu amahlandla amabili – ngowe-2009 nangowezi-2014.
Ngayo yonke impikiswano ezungeze iqembu lekhilikithi laseNingizimu Afrika ezinyangeni ezedlule, kusele isibindi sokuthi ama-Proteas azoyiphakamisa indebe mhla ziyi-14 kuLwezi.

Kuze kube manje lo mqhudelwano ube yinhlekelele emaqenjini aseNingizimu Afrika, akha amaqembu amane kwayisithupha angaphansi.
Kodwa kunezimpawu ezinhle zemidlalo elandelayo.

● Impelasonto ebalulekile ku-DStv Premiership njengoba amaqembu amaningi aseNingizimu Afrika enza imisebenzi yawo yokuncintisana ye-CAF.
Mine kuphela imidlalo edlalwe esigabeni sokuqala sebhola laseNingizimu Afrika, okuhlanganisa nomdlalo obalulekile we-Kaizer Chiefs – enethemba lokugwema ukuhlulwa yi-Chippa United kanye nalowo owayeyimenenja yayo uGavin Hunt.
Amakhosi asaphumelele ukuwina kanye kuphela ngemuva kokudlala imidlalo eyisithupha kuligi. Amahlebezi akhombisa ukuthi uma Amakhosi ehlulwa i-Chippa kuzosho ukuthi umphathi uStuart Baxter uzokhonjiswa umnyango.
Kubukeka kubhaliwe ukuthi umphathi we-Chiefs wesizini edlule, uHunt, angafaka isipikili sokugcina kulowo ongene esikhundleni sakhe. Akungabazeki ukuthi uzogqugquzela ukwengeza olunye usizi kuMakhosi.
