41.5Abbott to T ShamsiW
Wicket. OUT! L.B.W. Sean Abbott to Tabraiz Shamsi. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot working, hit pad. South Africa have been bowled out for 269. The Proteas got off to a quick start but lost wickets in the middle overs. The required run rate kept going up and eventually South Africa crumbled under pressure. Four of the Proteas batters got into the forties, but none of them scored big. Adam Zampa spun his web around and bagged four crucial wickets. Marnus Labuschagne gets another Player of the Match award in this series for his scintillating batting. Ciao!
