Brief Scores

The Pink 🅰ODI holds a parallel tradition in itself with hosts South Africa donning the Pink jersey. This time around, even the English team replaced their navy blue stripes with a shade of pink in support of awareness of breast cancer.

🐲World Champions and the number-one ODI team in the world, England, managed to square the series with a narrow two-wicket win over South Africa at the Wanderers in Johannesburg on Sunday.

Quinton de Kock’s side was put to bat first and they man✃aged to score a below-par sc🏅ore of 257 in front of the daunting English batting lineup.

De Kock and their experienced campaigner, David Miller, took the responsibility of putting a face-⛎saving total as the Proteas kept losing wickets at regular intervals.

Both scored 69 each to counter Adil Rashid’s effort of 3/51, which derail🦩ed the South African proceedings. Rashid featured in his 100th ODI.

❀‘Killer Miller’, finally living up t💟o his reputation, entertained the crowd with his unbeaten knock, which was laced with four boundaries and an equal number of maximums.

Mo's Day:
✅1-42 off 10

Opening the batting, Jonny Bairstow came out all guns blazing with his 43, coming at a strike-rate of 187. Jason Roy and Joe Root chipped in with few before England lost three wickets a🦄t 86, by the end of 12th over.

Subsequently, it was Joe Denly who anchored the run chase with his sensible knock of 66, which brought the English at the cusp of a victory. Tom Banton provided much-nee♔ded support at the other end before𒁏 he fell victim to Beuran Hendricks.

The efforts of Lungi Ngidi and Hendricks brought excitement to the contest with their respective three-wicket hauls. In the end, England just managed to reach across the finishing line with only two-wick𝔉ets in hands.
