TAROUBA, TRINIDAD: South African pacer Anrich Nortje has created history by becoming the first bowler to bowl 100 dot balls in a single edition of the T20 World Cup.
In the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024, Norjte has been in good form, scoring a total of 186 runs in eight matches so far. He took 13 wickets and hit only seven sixes and 11 fours in the tournament.
He was flanked by teammate Marco Ansansen, who was instrumental in the Proteas’ first World Cup final success.
Jansen has so far bowled 96 balls, taking six wickets in 8 matches.
Afghanistan’s Naveen-ul-Haq and Bangladesh’s Mustafizur Rahman are the other bowlers on the list with 90 runs each.
Remember, South Africa beat Afghanistan in a one-sided contest in Trinidad and Tobago to reach the T20 World Cup final for the first time.
Meanwhile, in the second semi-final, Rohit Sharma and Co got their revenge for the T20 World Cup 2022 by beating England by 68 runs in Guyana.
The magnificent Kensington Oval in Barbados will host the final on June 29.
