TV sports highlights, 27 to 29 Nov

St George's Park cricket fans will get a double dose of entertainment when South Africa's oldest Test venue hosts two matches in the sport's instant version of the game on Saturday. 

St George's Park cricket fans will get a double dose of entertainment when South Africa's oldest Test venue hosts two matches in the sport's instant version of the game on Saturday. 

The Ram Slam Twenty20 returns for a double-header, with the two matches providing further opportunities for fans to cash in on the R1-million up for grabs for any spectator who catches a six with one hand in a televised match. The bad news is this pot has already been shared five ways; the good news is that there are two matches on Saturday to grab a slice of the shrinking pie.

The Dolphins and the Knights kick off proceedings (SS2, 1.45pm), followed by the Warriors against the high-riding Titans (SS2, 5.45pm).

There's plenty of cricket elsewhere. South Africa's torment by spin continues in India with the third Test having started on Wednesday. Hopefully there will still be some cricket on the weekend (5.30am, SS2).

A new landmark will be set in cricket's timeline as Australia and New Zealand play the first-ever day-night Test when the third match of their series begins in Adelaide on Friday (SS5, 5.15am). This concept is very much in the experimental stage and the feedback will be keenly awaited by cricket authorities. It may be a shot in the dark, but with dwindling attendances, it is better than doing nothing.

Rounding off the cricket programme is the second T20 between Pakistan and England on Friday (SS2, 2.15pm).

There was a time when Australia and the United States were the giants of the Davis Cup tennis competition. But that is now ancient history and the latest final of one of sport's longest-running events takes place in Brussels on Friday  (SS7, 2.15pm) when Great Britain clash with Belgium.

The Murrays, Andy and Jamie, give the Brits the edge, but nobody will write off anyone in a final when the nerves take over. The visitors will be aiming to claim the trophy for the first time in 79 years, while Belgium are in their first final.

In the ring, another Tyson, this one with the surname Fury, will be aiming to make a name for himself on Saturday and you can only hope it doesn't all end in tears, as happened with his American counterpart, Mike Tyson.

The unbeaten Fury has taunted world heavyweight boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko as being old and has threatened to send him into retirement in Duesseldorf (SS6, 9.50pm). The 39-year-old champion, in turn, has promised to deliver his own brand of therapy on Saturday so there could be some fun and games.
