Top 4 must-watch weekend sporting events

Cape Town - It's the weekend!

But the sporting world never sleeps, so hang on tight and be sure to watch these FOUR events (in no particular order)!

It has been a topsy-turvy series for Faf du Plessis and his charges. However with plenty of edge and intensity between the two sides - the third Test promises more of the same.

Play starts at 12:00 SA time with the Proteas hopefully on top!
