The centurion from the last game of CWC23, Quinton de Kock will open the innings for SA together with his skipper Temba Bavuma. Whereas, Australia hand over Starc to open the bowling for them.
Proteas openers provide 108-runs stand for the 1st wicket as the skipper goes for 35 off 55 striking at 63.63. Bavuma proves lucky 4 times earlier in the innings against AUS but this time Warner bags an easy catch to dismiss Bavuma at deep midwicket on Maxwell’s flighted delivery. South Africa are 108 for 1 after 20.
Rassie van der Dussen extends the scorecard with de Kock. both of them take team’s total to 158 when van der Dussen tries to clear the long-on but Zampa’s quick delivery does’nt allow elevation this time and Abbott there pockets it with ease. A 50-runs stand for the second wicket is broken.
The fastest centurion of ICC CWC, Aiden Markram joins his companion at the crease. The left-hand, right-hand combination add 39 off 38. The attempted reverse sweep from de Kock ends in hitting the wickets and Maxwell gets his 2nd of the evening. The wicket-keeper batter is sent back to the dugout after his 109 off 106 brilliant knock. SA are 197 for 3 at the end of 35.
Markram and Klaasen, two best finishers provide the spark that SA have been missing in their 1st two power plays. Both add quick 66 in just 50 balls and this time skipper himself strikes for Australia. Markram makes romm for himself to cut the ball but Hazlewood at backward point grabs the ball this time. Makram goes for 56 off 44 striking at 127 with seven 4s and one 6.
2 quick wickets for AUS and here SA seem losing the plot in the ICC CWC23 match 10. Hazlewood’s short of length gets him the killer Klaasen’s wicket who goes after scoring 29 off 27. SA are 5 down in 44.1 after scoring 267.
AUS have dropped half a dozen catches today which is unbelievable. But Warner doesn’t miss many as he picks one more of Jensen who tries to clear the mid-on but the sky-high ball goes into Warner hands and Starc strikes in his final over. Mitchell Starc who seems tired of drop catches cleans bowled David Miller in the same over. SA post 311 for the loss of 7.
