We're in for another cracking weekend of sport, with plenty going on in football, rugby and cricket, and everything in between.
-
Here then are three of our top picks for the weekend.Football
Sundowns v Espérance
► Mamelodi Sundowns take a slender advantage into the second leg of their CAF Champions League semifinal against Espérance at Loftus Versfeld tomorrow.
► A hard-fought 1-0 win in Tunis leaves the Brazilians in control, needing only to avoid defeat on home soil to secure a place in a second successive final under Miguel Cardoso.
► Cardoso favours a pragmatic approach in the knockout stages. Another cagey affair looks likely in the 3pm kickoff.
