Rabada took back-to-back wickets in the final over of the crucial clash against England in the T20 World Cup. Pacer Kagiso Rabada became the first South Africa bowler to claim a hat-trick in the T20 on Saturday.
He had dismissed Chris Woakes, skipper Eoin Morgan and Chris Jordan in successive deliveries of his final over. Rabada’s hat-trick powered South Africa to a 10-run win over England. However, they failed to qualify for the semifinals as England and Australia advanced on a better NRR.
De Kock and Van der Dussen joined hands and took South Africa to 40/1 after six overs. Both batters cleverly chose attacking strokes and kept on hitting occasional boundaries to keep the scoreboard ticking.
South Africa posted 189 for 2 with Rassie van der Dussen hitting and remained unbeaten on 94. However, they had to limit England by 131 or fewer to edge out Australia on the net run rate.
Fantastic unbeaten fifties by Rassie van der Dussen (94* off 60) and Aiden Markram (52* off 25) powered South Africa to 189-2 against England in a Super 12 match of the 2021 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Saturday.
Along with Dussen and Markram, Quinton de Kock also played a vital knock (34 off 27) for South Africa while Moeen Ali (1/27) was the most economical bowler for England.
South Africa has failed to qualify for the semifinals of the T20 World cup 2021 and will play 3 ODI series with the Netherlands on 26th Nov 2021 at SuperSport Park Cricket Stadium.
