The strike not only stunned the crowd but also forced a brief halt in play, as the umpires had to replace the ball. It was a moment that perfectly captured David’s fearless batting style and ability to turn the game’s momentum in an instant.

Tim David rescued Australia with a crucial 83 from 52 balls, turning the tide after a challenging start to the innings. His innings was packed with four boundaries and eight towering sixes, guiding the hosts to a competitive 178 in their allotted 20 overs.

He built vital partnerships along the way, adding important runs with Cameron Green (35) and Ben Dwarshuis (17), ensuring the innings gained momentum after early setbacks. His attacking shots shifted momentum, putting South Africa’s bowlers under pressure and changing the course of the match in Australia’s favour.

For the visitors, young left-arm pacer Kwena Maphaka impressed with outstanding bowling figures of 4 overs, 20 runs, and 4 wickets. Kagiso Rabada claimed two wickets, while Senuran Muthusamy, George Linde, and Lungi Ngidi chipped in with one each. Earlier in the day, South Africa skipper Aiden Markram won the toss and opted to field first, hoping to exploit the conditions — a decision that initially paid off before David’s counterattack shifted the balance.
