[Watch] Adil Rashid cleans up Aiden Markram with a peach in ENG vs SA 2024 T20 World Cup match
England’s Adil Rashid took the prized scalp of South Africa captain Aiden Markram in their Super-Eight 2024 T20 World Cup match at Gros Islet, St Lucia on Friday, June 21. Markram departed for just one run off two balls to leave SA in a spot of bother at 113-4.
The dismissal came in the 15th over of Proteas’ innings. Rashid bowled a slow leg break delivery and Markram stayed on the back foot. The right-hander tried to force it through the off-side with hard hands but the ball drifted and dipped late to catch the inside edge before deflecting back onto the leg stump.
