A late collapse noticed Eire be restricted to 284/9 within the third and closing ODI towards South Africa at Zayed Cricket Stadium regardless of a commanding opening stand of 101. Paul Stirling top-scored for the Irish with a 92-ball 88 whereas Lizaad Williams dealt essentially the most harm with the ball, scalping 4 wickets. The suitable-arm fast notably lit up the competition within the dying levels of Eire’s innings as he dispatched three batsmen within the penultimate over to inject vigour into the competition. The power was clearly infectious because it made a 40-year-old JP Duminy flip again the years to supply a exceptional present of athleticism.
Duminy performed 326 video games for the Proteas in a world profession that spanned over 15 years earlier than lastly hanging his boots from all varieties in 2021, quickly after which he was named the white-ball batting coach for the nationwide group. The veteran was unepectedly known as into motion on Monday on the again of a slew of accidents for the Proteas as Nandre Burger damage his knee within the opening recreation adopted by points for Temba Bavuma and Tony de Zorzi within the run-up to the third ODI. With the squad thus restricted, the African outfit had no possibility however to name upon Duminy’s providers as an alternative fielder for the ultimate over of the innings and skipper Rassie van der Dussen duly positioned him at quick third-man. Maybe figuring out a possibility, Harry Tector attampted an awkard reverse slap in entrance of his stumps to start Andile Phehlukwayo’s over however didn’t get a transparent connection because the Kookaburra solely simply lobbed over the keeper’s head.
The ball appeared destined to run to the boundary thereafter when Duminy, sporting a anonymous shirt, sprinted in the direction of the ball and put in a full size dive to swat the ball again into the circle regardless of the white rock taking an acute flip after touchdown on the turf. Duminy was all smiles as have been his teammates given the sensible present of athleticism, and Twitterati was no diffferent.
Wow!
Legend!
