• Saffas Abroad: Mulder has a blast, Rilee misfires

    Published on

    Wiaan Mulder was the pick of the South Africans midweek in the English T20 Blast as Rilee Rossouw’s red-hot run came to a halt.

    Mulder struck 27 off 19 balls (one four and a six) in a 47-run win for Leicestershire over Nottinghamshire on Tuesday.

    His stay at the crease was ended by a delivery from fellow Protea Dane Paterson, who ended with figures of 1-26. 

    Rossouw, who had previously recorded knocks of 54 and 85, could manage only six before he was bowled as Somerset lost by six wickets against Surrey.

    Roelof van der Merwe returned to the hut with three runs to show for his brief stint out in the middle, but he did pick up a wicket for 20 runs. 

    SA-born Middlesex skipper Stephen Eskinazi struggled at the top of the order in an eight-wicket defeat by Glamorgan, with Colin Ingram not out on three for the winners, while Leus de Plooy finished not out on 16 in a six-wicket victory for Derbyshire over Northamptonshire.
