Rinku breaks glass at St George’s Park

On the final two balls of the 19th over, Rinku smashed Aiden Markram for two monstrous sixes as India made a swift recovery despite a dull start. However, it was the second six on the final ball of the 19th over which caught everyone’s eyes as it smashed the glass of the media box at St George’s Park. This resulted in the glass being broken into pieces, just moments before the play was halted due to rain.

At the time of writing, India were 180/7 from 19.3 overs with Rinku batting an unbeaten 68 off 39 while Mohammed Siraj was yet to face a ball despite coming out to bat. Rain interruption would then play a major role as the innings was then called off due to time lost. South Africa were then called into bat as the match was reduced to 15 overs and the African side was given a revised target to chase.

However, skipper Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma then stitched an important partnership before Rinku got into his act. Surya scored 56 off 36 while Varma departed for 29 off 20 and proved vital as India recovered in their innings.
