Brief Scores

The Pink ODI holds a parallel tradition in itself with hosts South Africa donning the Pink jersey. This time around, even the English team replaced their🅘 navy blue stripes with a shade of pink in support of awareness of breast cancer.

World Champions and the number-o൲ne ODI team in the world, England, managed t🥂o square the series with a narrow two-wicket win over South Africa at the Wanderers in Johannesburg on Sunday.

Quinton de Kock’s side was put to bat first and they managed to score a below-par score of 257 in front of the dau🐭nting English batting lineup.

De Kock 🐽and their experienced campaigner, David Miller, took the responsibility of putting a face-saving total as the Proteas kept losing wickets at regular intervals.

Both scored 69 each to counter Adil Ras༒hid’s effort of 3/51, which derailed the South African proceedings. Rashid featured in his 100th ODI.

‘Killer Miller’, finally living up to his reputation, entertained the crowd with his unbeaten knock, which 🌄was laced with four boundaries and an equal number of maximums.

Opening the batting, Jonny Bairstow came o𒐪ut all guns blazing with his 43, coming at a strike-rate of 187. J🎃ason Roy and Joe Root chipped in with few before England lost three wickets at 86, by the end of 12th over.

Subsequently, it was Joe Den🌳ly who anchored the run chase with his sensible kn🍸ock of 66, which brought the English at the cusp of a victory. Tom Banton provided much-needed support at the other end before he fell victim to Beuran Hendricks.

The efforts of Lungi Ngidi and Hendricks brought excitement to the contest with their respective three-wicket hauls. In the end, England just managed to 🦋reach across the fini𝓀shing line with only two-wickets in hands.
