Whittaker vs Till | Andalusia MotoGP | Leicester v Manchester United | Juventus v Sampdoria
------------------------------------------------
CRUSADERS v HURRICANES - Aotearoa
SuperSport 1, 9am CAT
The Hurricanes surprised many by beating the high-flying Blues last weekend. Will they be able to slay another giant when the face the unbeaten Crusaders in their Aotearoa derby on Saturday?
------------------------------------------------
ENGLAND v WEST INDIES - Third Test, Day 2
SuperSport 2, 11:55am CAT
With the series evenly poised going into the third test, the second day’s play could prove pivotal for the match as well as overall honours. England’s pacemen have had the upper hand, especially in the last test at this venue and the West Indies will rely on their batsmen to put up a better fight this time around. However, we are in Manchester, and rain is never far away.
------------------------------------------------
Vodacom Durban July
SuperSport 4, 1pm CAT
The thoroughbreds will be tasked with shouldering the excitement at the Hollywoodbets Greyville Racecourse with the stands being empty and the traditional fashion show moving online due to Covid-19 restrictions. You can catch all the action from all the races live on SS4 and SS10 on Saturday.
------------------------------------------------
3M Open - PGA Tour
SuperSport 1, 7pm CAT
Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and Tony Finau headline the field as the US PGA Tour action moves to TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota. Dylan Fritelli, Charl Schwartzel and and Erik van Rooyen make up the South African contingent who will be aiming to be in the mix come Sunday.
------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
WHITTAKER v TILL - UFC
SuperSport 11, 2am CAT
After a roller-coaster 2019 which included a 'baptism' from the BMF champ, Darren Till will be hoping for some consistency in 2020 in his quest for UFC gold. In his way though, stands the former middleweight champion and #1 contender from Down Under, Robert Whittaker. Having had a mere two fights in the past two years – most notably his uninspiring title loss to Israel Adesanya – Whittaker has been kept out of the cage by injuries, and will be looking to re-establish himself as the head honcho in a division he once dominated.
------------------------------------------------
ANDALUSIA GP - MotoGP
SuperSport 6, 1:55pm CAT
With Marc Marquez likely to be out of the race, Fabio Quartararo will be even more confident of claiming back-to-back victories as MotoGP returns to Jerez for a second week in a row. Elsewhere, Brad Binder will be hoping to build on a semi-successful MotoGP debut, where he scored three world championship points with a 13th place finish.
The qualifying is at 2pm on Saturday, on SS6 . . .
------------------------------------------------
LEICESTER v MANCHESTER UNITED - Premier League
SuperSport 4, 4:50pm CAT
Leicester City have Champions League football in sight, while Manchester United will try to wrestle it away from them. The Foxes do not have an impressive Premier League record against the Red Devils – two victories and seven draws in 27 meetings. That’s something Brendan Rodgers will want to correct if they are to play Champions League football. And that will be a story to tell for Leicester generations to come if they manage to do so on final day of the season against United.
------------------------------------------------
JUVENTUS v SAMPDORIA - Serie A
SuperSport 9, 9:35pm CAT
The Serie A title race is approaching the finish line and Juventus will do well to shake off their apparent fatigue if they are to lay their hands on the title. With Inter Milan in hot pursuit, Juve know they cannot afford to drop any more points. In Sampdoria they face a tricky test, a team with no relegation worries. That will make Samp even more dangerous but for the neutrals, it should be a recipe for a fantastic Serie A duel.
