T20 World Cup: Rashid, Archer Lead England's Fightback After De Kock Fifty, Restrict South Africa To 163/6
Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium: Led by a miserly Adil Rashid and Jofra Archer’s three-fer, England staged a good fightback after Quinton de Kock smashed a fifty to restrict South Africa to 163/6 in their Super Eight stage game of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium here on Friday.
Under glorious sunshine, South Africa cruised to 69/0 off seven overs but England fought back by switching to pace-off deliveries to keep the Proteas to a below-par total, which is also the lowest score batting first at this venue in the ongoing competition.
After conceding 21 runs in his first over, Archer gave away 19 runs and took three crucial wickets while Rashid kept things tight with his spell of 1-20, while Moeen Ali had figures of 1-25 in England putting the brakes on South Africa’s run-scoring, who didn’t have anyone to step up barring de Kock’s 65 and David Miller’s 43.
