Plenty of positives to take from this Proteas win. Good team balance with 2 spinners & 2 all-rounders. David Miller at the crease by the 9th over, Pretorius coming in during the Powerplay, Parnell and Nortje’s return, Rassie will get better now that he’s had a knock. #INDvsSA — Zaahier Adams (@ZaahierAdams) June 9, 2022
Another feather in the cap of this unbelievably gutsy Proteas side. Incredible win in 38 degs C heat, stunning a Delhi crowd of 41,000 to silence. Wake up, these guys warrant your support.
