West Indies vs South Africa: Rabada bowls a brute to Keiron Pollard
Pollard facing Rabada, has always been a treat to watch, whether in IPL or at the international stage. This time, Pollard was doing, what he does every now and then, push himself forward for a single towards the leg side. Pollard was advancing and couldn’t make his bat reach on a swinger off Rabada and he cleaned him up. Pollard has been looking off his touch lately, and has to step up to boost the middle order with his experience and hard hitting. If Pollard would have scored even a bit from his side, the game could have been in WI’s hands.
