In a thrilling encounter between South Africa and the Netherlands, the Proteas’ star bowler, Kagiso Rabada, made an immediate impact. Rabada, known for his lethal pace and precision, dismissed Netherlands’ batsman Vikramjit Singh, claiming his 150th ODI wicket in the process.

Rabada’s delivery, bowled with extra bounce from a back of a length on the stumps, hurried Vikramjit Singh into a pull shot. However, the batsman misjudged the bounce, resulting in a top-edge that soared straight up in the air. Behind the stumps, wicketkeeper Heinrich Klaasen exhibited remarkable reflexes. Positioned at slip, Klaasen sprinted backward, tracking the ball meticulously. With great skill and composure, he managed to hold onto the catch, dismissing Vikramjit Singh for a mere 2 runs off 16 balls.

This wicket showcased Rabada’s mastery and Klaasen’s agility, highlighting the Proteas’ formidable bowling unit.
