Champions Trophy: Mulder, Jansen Grab Three Scalps Each As South Africa Bowl Out England For 179
Champions Trophy: Wiaan Mulder and Marco Jansen picked three wickets each in a dominating bowling performance as South Africa bowled out England for just 179, the lowest total of 2025 Champions Trophy, in the final Group B clash at the National Stadium on Saturday.
With England all out under 207, South Africa have qualified for the semifinals, and Afghanistan are eliminated from the competition. Electing to bat first, England put on a shoddy batting performance, as no one scored more than Joe Root's 37, and wickets fell in clumps, along with South Africa being superb in their catching and ground fielding.
Despite stand-in captain Aiden Markram going off due to a hamstring injury, it didn’t deter South Africa in their quest to keep England on a tight leash. Apart from Mulder and Jansen, Keshav Maharaj took two wickets, while Lungi Ngidi and Kagiso Rabada picked a scalp each.
