India were 28 for 2 when rain disrupted play in the final of the South African T20 series. Lungi Ngidi took the wicket of the openers to give South Africa the lead.
Ishant Kishan and Ruthuraj Gaikwad came in to open the innings for India. Keshav Maharaj came on to bowl the first over. Ishant Kishan opened the scoring with two consecutive sixes off the second and third balls. The Indian fans were excited when they were bowled out for 16 in the first over, but with the arrival of Lungi Ngidi, things turned out in South Africa’s favor.
Ishant Kishan could not understand the movement of Lungi Ngidi’s ball in the last ball of the second over. South African fast bowler Ishan Kishan was stumped off the stumps. Ishant Kishan scored 15 off 7 balls.
In his next over, Ruthuraj Gaikwad was bowled by Ngidi for the next over. The timing was wrong for the player who tried to hit the ball in the off cutter ball. The ball bounced high and Pretorius easily caught it. Ruthuraj Gaikwad scored just 10 off 12 balls.
