• Saffas in the IPL: Rabada delivers for Punjab Kings

    Published on

    A wrap of all the weekend’s IPL action involving South African players.

    Quinton de Kock scored just seven runs as the Lucknow Super Giants suffered a 24-run defeat by the Rajasthan Royals on Sunday.

    Earlier in the day, David Miller finished with 15* off 20 balls for the Gujarat Titans in a thumping seven-wicket win over the Chennai Super Kings.

    On Saturday, Aiden Markram’s 32 off 25 balls were in vain as the Sunrisers Hyderabad lost to the Kolkota Knight Riders by 54 runs.

    Fast bowler Marco Jansen took 1-30 in his four overs for the Sunrisers.

    Kagiso Rabada picked up the wicket of Virat Kohli as the Punjab Kings beat the Royal Challengers Bangalore by 54 runs on Friday. The SA speedster went on to finish with figures of 3-21 in his four overs.

    Bangalore skipper Faf du Plessis scored 10.

    Tristan Stubbs made a winning start to his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians despite being dismissed for a two-ball duck.

    The 21-year-old South African, who came in at No 5 for Mumbai, missed a juicy full toss with the first ball he faced from Mukesh Choudhary and was then trapped lbw after being beaten by a back-of-a-length delivery that clocked 135km/h.
