South Africa’s batter abandons the ball, and a lapse in judgment proves costly. Khaya Zondo was bowled as he tried to leave a delivery outside off-stump during South Africa’s practice match against England Lions.
South Africa is currently playing a warm-up match against the England Lions in preparation for their three-match Test series against England, which begins on August 17. South Africa won the toss and chose to bat in the four-day game. Khaya Zondo batted at No.7 for South Africa and scored an important 86-run knock. However, it was a huge blunder on his part that cost him his wicket. Pacer Sam Cook angled the ball in early on Day 2 of the match, and it pitched just outside off. Zondo attempted to leave the ball, but it continued to come in at an angle and hit the off-stump.
