WTC Final: Kagiso Rabada Picks A Fifer As South Africa Bowl Out Australia For 212
World Test Championship Final: Kagiso Rabada claimed 5-51 and moved past Allan Donald to be at fourth spot on South Africa's all-time wicket-takers list as the side bowled out Australia for 212 on day one of the World Test Championship Final at the Lord’s Cricket Ground on Wednesday.
Australia had entered the third session at 190/5 in 50 overs, but Rabada wrapped up the innings in post-tea session in just 36 minutes. For Australia, Beau Webster top-scored with 72 while Steve Smith hit 66. Supporting Rabada in his pursuit were Marco Jansen’s 3-49, while Keshav Maharaj and Aiden Markram took a wicket each.
In the post-tea session, Alex Carey fell straightaway as his attempt to reverse-sweep off Keshav Maharaj resulted in his stumps being castled for 23. Rabada then came in to knock off Pat Cummins, before having Webster edging to first slip. After Jansen castled Nathan Lyon through the gate, Rabada bursts through Mitchell Starc’s defences to end Australia’s innings.
