Matthew Breetzke is taking the One Day International (ODI) cricket world by storm, proving he is a force to be reckoned with on the pitch. Our South African cricketer makes it – The first of the African cricketer! He’s had a fifty or more in each of his first five ODIs, a remarkable accomplishment in the game. This achievement emphasizes just how special his talent is. It stamps him as a future great for the game of cricket.

Such an incredible beginning to the season and beyond has understandably raised eyebrows from cricket fans, experts, and analysts around the world.
In his most recent innings, Breetzke continued that trend, deftly manipulating the field to keep the scoreboard moving while banking the occasional four.

His 348 boundaries scored off Will Jacks showed as he played an array of strokes finding the gaps and exposing bowlers’ weaknesses to their cost.
Breetzke is now going to bat with Stubbs and Dewald Brevis. Together, they have established an excellent platform in the final powerplay of an innings. It hasn’t escaped the observers’ view that his tidy middle overs batting is one part of Stokes’ game that England would do well to learn from.
