After Tabraiz Shamsi’s accurate spin strangled the life out of the Aussie middle order‚ the SA trio of express men held their nerve at the death to bowl the team to a 12-run victory after captain Quinton de Kock had made a quick-fire 70 earlier.Ngidi may be criticised for being too expensive but he does have the knack of taking wickets at crucial times. He has 12 to his name in his past five T20 matches.

“Yes‚ it could put a team under pressure but I knew if you keep taking wickets you obviously put the opposition under pressure. There were a few unfortunate boundaries I went for that could have helped. But I knew there was still an opportunity to win the game and I just tried to take as many wickets as I could.”“It’s been a very difficult build-up for us. There have been a lot of situations where we have been tested at the death‚” Ngidi said.
