South Africa struggle with the bat

June 19, 2019 19:19

SA 169-4 (40 ovs) vs NZ | Scorecard

Miller gets a leading edge as he looks to clip Ferguson through the leg side but it falls well short of the fielder in the covers. The next ball bounces a bit more than expected as Miller is hit on the gloves again before he pulls a short ball down the leg side for one.

A single to van der Dussen before the pacer bowls a wide as just three come from the over.

Boult is back into the attack. Van der Dussen plays a nice drive through the covers where Munro puts in the dive to his right to save the boundary and concede just two runs.

Boult sweeps Miller off his feet with a cracking yorker as he does well not only to dig it out but also clips it through midwicket for two runs to complete 3000 runs in ODIs, followed by two more singles off the last two balls.

Spinner Santner is back into the attack. He starts off with three dot balls to van der Dussen before giving away three singles off the last three.

South Africa need a strong finish as they struggle to 169 for four in 40 overs, with van der Dussen on 28 and Miller on 12.
