OUT! Bowled. Jofra Archer to Keshav Maharaj. Reverse Swing-In full toss, middle stump moves in front Scoop, missed. Jofra Archer wraps up his spell with two wickets in his final over. South Africa have completed their innings, posting a total of 330 runs and only losing eight wickets. Aiden Markram and Ryan Rickelton gave the team a solid start, putting together a 73-run partnership during the first power play. Unfortunately, Markram fell just one run short of his half-century mis-timing a shot back to Adil Rashid. Temba Bavuma departed early, before Matthew Breetzke and Tristan Stubbs built a crucial partnership in the middle overs. Breetzke played a commanding knock of 85 off 77 balls, while Stubbs contributed a steady 58 runs. Dewald Brevis added late momentum with a quickfire cameo, scoring 42 off just 20 deliveries. Corbin Bosch chipped in with a valuable 32 runs. Jofra Archer was the standout performer, claiming four wickets. Adil Rashid supported well, picking up two wickets and remaining very economical. Stay tuned for the run chase.
