Kagiso Rabada Defends Team's Decision To Bat First After England Bowl Out South Africa For 151

By IANS News August 26, 2022 • 13:55 PM View: 1033

South Africa's pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada has backed his captain Dean Elgar's decision to bat first in the second Test at Old Trafford despite the visitors being bowled out for 151 on day one.

After winning the first Test at Lord's by an innings and 12 within three days, Elgar chose to bat first after winning the toss in the second Test, despite bowler-friendly cloudy conditions on offer. That seemed to have backfired instantly as the Proteas were bowled out for 151, with Rabada top-scoring with 36, coming at number nine.
