South Africa vs Nepal Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024: David Miller gets lucky after escape via umpire’s call | Cricket News

South Africa vs Nepal Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Match Today: Nepal have really reined in the South Africa batters in their T20 World Cup clash. After getting rid of Quinton de Kock for just 10 runs, Nepal bowlers like Sandeep Lamichhane and Kushal Bhurtel restricted the Proteas to 57 runs in their first 10 overs. Bhurtel then claimed the wicket of South Africa captain Aiden Markram right after dropping Reeza Hendricks’ catch in the previous over. Nepal had won the toss and asked South Africa to bat first in a Group D encounter.
South Africa are looking to make it four wins out of four matches when they face a Nepal outfit who are without a win in the tournament at Kingstown. South Africa have made one change to their playing XI: Tabraiz Shamsi coming in for Keshav Maharaj. Nepal, meanwhile, have called up Sandeep Lamichhane in place of Sagar Dhakal.
Even though the Proteas have qualified with three wins, their top order of Quinton De Kock, Reeza Hendricks, skipper Aiden Markram and Tran Stubbs have flattered to deceive. They escaped with a narrow win against Netherlands, courtesy of a vital knock David Miller and then against Bangladesh so they’ll be hoping to iron out these chinks in their armour.
Their bowlers have been on point though with Anrich Nortje, who is the joint second leading wicket-taker with eight scalps, and Ottneil Baartman who took 4 against Netherlands.
