Kyle Verreynne falls to Rashid’s googly

Before dismissing Ackerman, Rashid had already claimed the prized wicket of Pretoria Capitals captain Kyle Verreynne.

Attempting a premeditated scoop, the Pretoria Capitals skipper failed to make contact, and the ball crashed into the top of the leg stump. Verreynne walked back after scoring just 1 run off 4 deliveries, as Rashid once again proved why he is regarded as one of the world’s best T20 bowlers.
