Kagiso Rabada
After Rabada’s three wickets, off-spinner Simon Harmer took six more to help South Africa bowl Australia out for 111 while defending a target of 288. The hosts won the Test by 176 runs and clinched the series 2-1. Australia had taken a 1-0 lead in the series but lost the next two Tests.
The defeat also prompted criticism of Australia’s batting, with former opener David Warner describing their performance as “utterly disgraceful”.
He then dismissed Travis Head, who scored 14 off 26 balls, on the sixth delivery of the seventh over to reach the 350-wicket milestone. The South African fast bowler needed 13,808 deliveries to take 350 Test wickets, going past former teammate Dale Steyn , who reached the mark in 14,719 balls. Former Pakistan captain Waqar Younis is third on the list, having taken 14,905 deliveries to claim his 350th Test wicket.
Rabada picked up three wickets in Australia’s second innings, starting with Matt Renshaw and Marnus Labuschagne in the first over of the visitors’ chase.
