England middle order hitter Dawid malan He showed his superior class once again when he broke an undefeated 99 of 47 balls against South Africa in the third T20I at Newlands in Cape Town on Tuesday.
Malan built an uninterrupted 167-race booth with Jos Buttler (67 years old) of just 85 deliveries during England’s successful chase of a 192-run goal. However, the number one ranked T20I hitter failed to reach the triple figure.
After the game, Malan joked about his miscalculation of not scoring a hundred. The left-handed hitter said he needs to get back to math class.
“I knew he had to hit two sixes (to turn his 88) to win the game and get a hundred, I got a six and a four, so I guess I didn’t calculate that too well. I need to go back to math class. “ Malan was quoted as saying by SkySports.
Happy to have some momentum: Malan
Malan accumulated 173 races in the three-game T20I series. For his outstanding effort with the willow, the 33-year-old received the ‘Player of the Series’ prize. In the post-match interview, Malan admitted that he wasn’t hitting the balls well in this series, but was happy that things turned around on the dead rubber.
“Very happy the last two innings I wasn’t hitting as well as I would like, but this time I really got some momentum. Wicket played very well, and that was an advantage for me. Jos didn’t start as fast as he would have liked, but I had the momentum and took the pressure off him, and that flowed and waned throughout the partnership. I play the same way every time, sometimes it comes out and sometimes it doesn’t. I have the power and it’s just about applying myself ”. Malan added.
