IML 2025: Amla, Petersen Star As South Africa Masters Open Account With 7-wkt Win
South Africa Masters: Riding on a glorious half-century from star batter Hashim Amla, South Africa Masters defeated England Masters by seven wickets to record their first win of the inaugural International Masters League (IML) 2025 at the BCA Stadium here on Monday.
In what turned out to be an electrifying clash, transporting fans back to an era of unforgettable battles, iconic strokes, and fierce competition, both South Africa and England headed into the contest in a bid to open their account in the tournament after losing both their opening matches. Amla anchored South Africa Masters’ pursuit of 158 with a carefully curated half-century and received great support from Petersen, who fell shy of a well-timed fifty by a single, which helped the side overcome a shaky start.
Reduced to 38/2 after the early dismissals of Henry Davids for a duck and skipper Jaques Kallis (8), Amla and Petersen joined forces to pile misery on the English bowlers.
