Kaizer Chiefs Eye Back to Back Wins as They Host Polokwane City
Inacio urges consistency, while new signings boost squad ahead of key FNB Stadium clash. Kaizer Chiefs Eye Back to Back Wins as They Host Polokwane City Kaizer Chiefs will be looking to build on their winning start to the Betway Premiership when they face Polokwane City at the FNB Stadium on Wednesday night. The Soweto giants opened the 2025 /26 season with 2 - 0 victory over Stellenbosch FC and are targeting consecutive wins for the 1st time since last season. Inacio: Not About Revenge Despite last season's struggles against Polokwane City, captain Miguel Inacio insists the match isn't about payback. Chiefs failed to beat the Limpopo side in 2024 /25 earning just 1 point from 2 game. "It's not revenge game for us, We just have to do our best to win. Last season we lacked consistency and that's our main challenge now" said Inacio. Squad Boost Ahead of Clash Assistant coach Cedric Kaze confirmed that Ethan Chislett, Paseka Mako and Pule Mmodi are all available for selection. Chislett who recently received his South African passport, is eligible to make his debut. Mako's recovered from injury while Mmodi returns from suspension. "We're in very good space for tomorrow. It's our first home game and we know the importance of starting strong in front of our fans" Kaze said. Home Form Under the Spotlight Chiefs managed only 5 home wins last season collecting 19 point from 14 match. Improving their FNB Stadium record's priority and Kaze believes this fixture is the perfect opportunity. "We lacked consistency last season. This game's important to set the tone for what we want to achieve" he added. Background & Context The last time Chiefs beat Polokwane City was in Dec 2023, thanks to Pule Mmodi goal. Since then, Rise & Shine have been tricky opponent winning once and drawing once in the last campaign.

Brevis' record-breaking century for South Africa ends Australia's 9-match winning streak in T20s
DARWIN, Australia (AP) — Dewald Brevis smacked a record T20 century to help South Africa end the nine-match winning streak of Australia's cricketers as a 53-run victory on Tuesday levelled the three-match series at 1-1. The 22-year-old Brevis bludgeoned eight sixes and 12 fours in his breath-taking 125 not out off 56 balls to surpass Faf du Plessis' South Africa record of 119, made against the West Indies in 2015. Brevis displayed an extraordinary range of shots all around the wicket to propel South Africa to 218-7, after Australia captain Mitchell Marsh had won the toss and elected to field on the same wicket where his team had successfully defended 178 two days before. Australia's top-order batters briefly had a crack at the steep target with Tim David scoring a robust 50 off 24 balls. But once he perished in the 10th over, the wheels came off as the home team was bowled out for 165 in 17.4 overs. 'I have not really thought about it (the record), but extremely grateful,' Brevis said after receiving his player of the match award. 'Just happy we won today, great to be out here on the winning side.' Another South African youngster, Kwena Maphaka (3-57), followed his four-wicket haul in the first game by removing big-hitters Cameron Green (9), Glenn Maxwell (16) and Mitchell Owen (8). South Africa also shrugged off the dew at the venue and held onto some brilliant catches with Nqabayomzi Peter, one of the two changes the visitors made from the first game, holding onto a spectacular low catch at mid-wicket to dismiss Green in Maphaka's first over. In sharp contrast, Australia was scrappy in the field. Substitute fielder Matthew Kuhnemann dropped Brevis soon after the power-hitter had completed his half century off 25 balls. The ball burst through his hands on the long-on boundary, much to the disappointment of bowler Maxwell. Maxwell, who finished with 2-44, had earlier seen Adam Zampa drop a skier off Lhuan-dre Pretorius in the powerplay. Despite losing three quick wickets, Brevis didn't hold back in a 126-run fourth-wicket stand with Tristan Stubbs, who contributed 31 off 22 balls. Brevis pummelled spinners Zampa (1-46) and Maxwell soon after getting his life on 56. He also took charge against Josh Hazlewood (1-56) in the second half of the innings as he completed his second fifty off just 16 balls. Zampa broke the century partnership by having Stubbs caught at backward point Australia rallied to take four wickets at the end, but Brevis had done enough damage by that time to give South Africa its imposing total. Marsh, whose side beat West Indies 5-0 after chasing successfully in all five games in the preceding series, praised Brevis. 'He is a young, powerful man,' Marsh said. 'An upcoming player in international cricket and well played to him. Chasing that down was going to be tough. We needed a few partnerships early and could not do that.' The final game will be played on Saturday before the teams compete in a three-match ODI series. ___ AP cricket:
