Quicks head into decider against Australia with a skip in their step
Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortjé and Kagiso Rabada held their nerve at the death to bowl the Proteas to a 12-run victory
The Proteas quick bowlers will have a skip in their step as they head to Cape Town for the deciding T20 against Australia on Wednesday.
Lungi Ngidi‚ Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortjé got it spot on in the closing overs at St George’s Oval on Sunday to stymie the Australian run flow in a match the tourists probably should have won.
After Tabraiz Shamsi’s accurate spin (4-0-17-0) strangled the life out of the Aussie middle order‚ the SA trio of express men held their nerve at the death to bowl the team to a 12-run victory after captain Quinton de Kock had made a quick-fire 70 earlier.
The victory squared the series 1-1 and has set up an all-to-play-for decider at Newlands.
Ngidi may be criticised for being too expensive but he does have the knack of taking wickets at crucial times. He has 12 to his name in his past five T20 matches.
