Series: South Africa tour of India, 2019 Venue: JSCA International Stadium Complex, Ranchi Date & Time: Oct 19-Oct 23, 09:30 AM LOCAL
Temba Bavuma 32(72)
28.2
Nadeem to Bavuma, out Stumped!! Maiden Test wicket for Shahbaz Nadeem! As they say, 'one brings two' - and here's an example. Bavuma shimmies down the wicket to play this one, but the spinner drags back his length and extracts some sharp spin off the deck. Saha does well to grab it and although the batsman tries his best to drag his bat back inside the crease, he can hardly get anywhere close to it. With two wickets in quick succession the crowd in Ranchi has gone berserk. Indian spinners are at it again. Moreover, Nadeem is yet to concede a run in this innings..
