World Cup 2023 RSA vs NED: South African bowler Ngidi showcased his prowess, claiming the wicket of Sybrand Engelbrecht. Engelbrecht’s attempt at a hook shot ended in disappointment, highlighting the intense battle on the field.
Ngidi’s delivery, a cross-seam short ball angling towards the leg-stump, posed a challenge for Engelbrecht. Undeterred, Engelbrecht moved inside the line and attempted the hook shot. Despite a decent connection, he failed to keep the ball down. The shot soared towards fine leg, directly into the waiting hands of Marco Jansen, who took a reverse cup catch.
This wicket furthered South Africa’s advantage, adding to the pressure faced by the opposition. Engelbrecht’s departure for 19 runs off 37 balls, including one boundary and one six, showcased the intense contest between bat and ball in the World Cup arena.
