South Africa vs West Indies, 2nd T20I, West Indies tour of South Africa, 2026 - Player Highlights

Rabada to Brandon King, out Caught by Stubbs!! The crowd erupts as the catch is taken. End of the 126-run stand for the second wicket and it's Rabada with the breakthrough. Slanted in at the stumps, good length ball, King punches it in the air and it's a simple catch at long-on. He seems to suggest that he wanted to go over mid-off but got it off the inside half. Was just a punch, didn't go hard. Brandon King c Stubbs b Rabada 49(30) [4s-5 6s-3]
