England caused a lot of devastation on the Manchester field and the South Africa team became the victim of this destruction. In the second ODI match played between the two, as soon as the English bowlers came on the attack, they created a ruckus. In the rain-interrupted second ODI, the fear of the English bowlers was that on 10 balls, they did not allow Jaaneman Malan and Rasi Van der Dussain to open the account and 4 South African batsmen were dismissed for 0. Batting first, the South African bowlers restricted the England team to 201 runs in 28.1 overs. Despite this, the host team won the match by 118 runs.
Even South Africa would not have imagined such an outcome.
Dwayne Pretorius took 4 wickets for 36 runs. The South African team was celebrating to wrap up England on a low score, but the team might not have imagined that their result was going to be worse. South Africa were given a target of 202 runs in 29 overs after the match was delayed due to rain. In response, Keshav Maharaj’s team was reduced to 83 runs. Only 6 runs had fallen for 4 wickets. Malan 6 and Dussain faced 4 balls, but they could not even open the account. At the same time, Aidan Markram and Lungi Ngidi were also out on 0. Heinrich Klaasen scored the highest 33 runs for South Africa. South Africa had lost its 4 wickets in 10 balls and the batsmen could not even score 1 run in these 10 balls. It is about the third and fourth overs. Reece Topley dismissed Malan and Dusain in his over. In the very next over, Willie made Dekock and Klaasen his prey.
Embarrassing record for South Africa
Sam Curran, who scored 35 runs in 18 balls and then took 1 wicket for 5 runs, was the player of the match. In the first match of the series, South Africa scored their biggest ODI score against England. South Africa had scored 331 runs. After this match, only 3 days later, South Africa also made an embarrassing record against England. This is South Africa’s joint lowest score against England and the joint second lowest overall. South Africa has the joint lowest score against England in men’s ODI cricket. Earlier in 2008 he had scored 83 runs. At the same time, this is the joint second low score of South Africa overall. In 1993, the South African team was able to score only 69 runs against Australia in Sydney.
