Waqar Salamkheil’s magical delivery to dismiss Faf du Plessis
In the seventh over of the Kings’ innings, Salamkheil removed Du Plessis who was beautifully placed. It was a length delivery on the stumps, and du Plessis, who wanted to play it to leg, pressed back but misjudged the spin. The ball caught up, came back with power, went over and hit the stumps. It was a huge success for the bowling team as du Plessis looked dangerous. He went for 34 off 26 balls, hitting one six and three fours.
