Arizona State enters the sport because the No. 4 seed off a bye after to profitable the Massive 12. Whereas the Solar Devils had been getting greater than three weeks of preparation, No. 5 seed Texas was defeating Clemson in its first-round sport. The Longhorns will get pleasure from being in acquainted territory as they misplaced to Georgia within the SEC title sport in Atlanta. That loss price them a bye however would possibly work of their favor as they will not have an extended layoff to cope with.
There are begins on each side of the ball with operating again Cam Skattebo, who completed fifth within the Heisman voting, main the Arizona State floor assault.

Scooby Axson
The Solar Devils have been yapping so much within the week earlier than the sport, and whereas they don’t lack confidence, they are going to run into the identical drawback that Clemson did towards the Longhorns. Texas is simply too deep and gifted, and its protection will make life hell for Arizona State, and will not let Cam Skattebo beat them. So, Sam Leavitt should show he’s a greater quarterback than Quinn Ewers, at the very least for one sport. Texas 35, Arizona State 23.
Jordan Mendoza
On paper, Texas is much better than Arizona State. However the Solar Devils ended the season purple scorching, and Cam Skattebo is a pressure to be reckoned with. The Longhorns are too sloppy offensively, and the Solar Devils pull off the upset. Arizona State 24, Texas 20.
Paul Myerberg
Texas has the firepower, athleticism and depth to make issues very tough on the Massive 12 champs. For Arizona State to attain a big upset would demand an edge within the turnover margin and a herculean effort from Cam Skattebo and the operating sport. If that doesn’t get going, search for the Longhorns to attain one other double-digit win and cruise into the semifinals. Texas 36, Arizona State 24.
Erick Smith
This has the right storyline you’ll see within the NCAA males’s basketball event the place a Cinderella makes an unbelievable run to the Last 4. That is successfully what Arizona State is attempting to do in reaching the semifinals with a win Wednesday. However a very good fairy story has to come back to an finish in some unspecified time in the future. And it is Texas that would be the spoiler. Simply an excessive amount of expertise on protection for the Longhorns on this one to created a dramatic end. Texas 31, Arizona State 14.
Eddie Timanus
The Longhorns enter their fifteenth sport of the season, and the influence was beginning to present in a late swoon of the Clemson win. Search for the rested Solar Devils and operating again Cam Skattebo to take benefit and are available out on prime. Arizona State 27, Texas 20.
Dan Wolken
Regardless of persistent questions in regards to the Longhorns offense, this looks like one other cruise management sport towards an overmatched staff. Arizona State goes to need to play excellent soccer to hold, and it doesn’t assist that prime receiver Jordyn Tyson is out with an damage. Texas 27, Arizona State 6.

South Africa 316 for 4 (Rickelton 176*, Bavuma 106) vs Pakistan
Ryan Rickelton, promoted to open the batting in Tony de Zorzi’s injury-enforced absence, and Temba Bavuma, having fun with the type of his profession, each scored lots of on an ideal batting day at Newlands. The pair shared a 235-run stand, the very best fourth-wicket partnership by a South African pair towards Pakistan and at Newlands.
The pair performed completely complementary roles, with Rickelton scoring closely on the off aspect (102 of his 176 runs got here there) and Bavuma plundering the on-side. Collectively, they reeled off some beautiful drives and whereas Rickelton’s runs got here within the areas straight down the bottom, Bavuma was glorious on the flick and pull.
The amount of runs tells as a lot concerning the flatness of the pitch because it does about Pakistan’s assault, which lacked real tempo. Which will have been the one approach to drive an error on a floor that’s taking part in exponentially higher than it did final final 12 months when a vicious pitch noticed the match finish in 107 overs. Then, 23 wickets fell on the opening day. Now, the identical strip which has comparable mottled inexperienced patches, has performed placidly and is predicted to get higher for batting over the following day and a half.
The benefit of circumstances apart, the runs nonetheless needed to be scored. Rickelton and Bavuma placed on a high-quality show towards a Pakistan aspect that suffered an early blow. They misplaced Saim Ayub to what has turned out to be a match-ending harm. Ayub twisted his ankle within the discipline and was taken to hospital for additional scans. The PCB confirmed he would take no additional half within the Check, and the extent of his harm could be assessed by specialists in London.
Whereas shoulders dropped after Ayub was stretchered off, Pakistan got here again properly and took three wickets within the final 40 minutes of the morning session. Aiden Markram, Wiaan Mulder, newly put in at No.3, and Tristan Stubbs will all query their pictures after they bought by means of Mohammad Abbas’ preliminary spell, the place he posed the best menace.
Abbas bowled 19.3 consecutive overs at SuperSport Park final weekend for a career-best 6 for 54 and took the brand new ball at Newlands. His first supply hit Markam on the entrance pad and Pakistan thought that they had the primary wicket. Umpire Nitin Menon was unmoved so that they reviewed however replays confirmed it was clipping the highest of off. Markram survived on umpire’s name.
Rickelton was the extra free-flowing of the opening pair and scored seven boundaries to Markram’s three, in a gap stand price 61. Rickelton supplied one likelihood in that point, when an edge off Khurram Shahzad fell in need of second slip and South Africa went on their highest first-wicket partnership since March 2023. In opposition to the run of play, Markram ultimately supplied an opportunity when drove Shahzad loosely to the substitute fielder Abdullah Shafique. After three geese within the ODIs and no recreation time since, Shafique was beneath stress and the ball went straight into and out of his palms. Markram was on 17.
No precise injury was performed as, within the subsequent over, Markram slashed at a ball that simply moved away and inside-edged by means of to Mohammad Rizwan. Abbas’ return after a seven-over break discovered Mulder’s exterior edge to provide Pakistan a second wicket. And Pakistan burgled one other on the stroke of lunch when Stubbs stayed again to a tossed-up ball from part-time spinner Salman Agha and edged to Rizwan.
Pakistan squandered the chance to maximise their benefit after the break after they caught with Aamer Jamal at one finish and Agha on the opposite as an alternative of bringing on considered one of their strike bowlers and allowed Bavuma to ease in. Bavuma bought his first runs when he steered Jamal to deep third and unfurled a sequence of attractive drives to proceed his high-quality type this summer season.
Masood introduced Mir Hamza on 5 overs after the break and Shahzad after eight overs. By then, Rickelton was into the 60s. He hit two boundaries off Shahzad’s first second-session over and the sting was taken out of Pakistan’s assault. They allowed South Africa straightforward run-scoring alternatives with the sector unfold and quite a lot of lengths.
Rickelton entered the 90s with back-to-back boundaries off Shahzad and quietly labored his approach to 99. He solely confronted one ball within the subsequent two overs as Bavuma saved strike however when Agha bowled one on his pads, he whipped it away to convey up a second hundred in three Assessments. Two overs later Bavuma introduced up fifty off 82 balls and South Africa went to tea on 184 for 3.
The night session was all South Africa as Rickelton and Bavuma stuffed their boots. Bavuma smashed the innings’ first six when he mowed Agha over mid-wicket, and Pakistan could have been left to surprise concerning the knowledge of not using a specialist spinner, even simply as a holding bowler at that time. Rickelton scored South Africa’s second six, over mid-wicket, in an over the place he took 14 runs off Jamal.
He reached 150 with a cover-driven 4 off Khurram, with Bavuma 11 away from 100. He bought there seven overs later, with a single off Jamal and ran nearly to the long-on boundary, pumping his arms in celebration earlier than swishing his bat wildly on the media finish. Bavuma’s feelings could have gotten the higher of him when he edged Agha to Rizwan 17 minutes earlier than the tip of play. Since taking on as captain, Bavuma has scored three of his 4 Check lots of and averages 57.78.
Rickleton and Bedingham noticed out the day which Pakistan ended 10 overs in need of the required 90.
