[Watch] De Kock-Maharaj Pair Up To Trap Du Plessis In The 'Battle Of Proteas' In CPL 2024

In a battle of South Africans, where Quinton de Kock and Keshav Maharaj were on one side and Faf du Plessis on the other, the pair won on Sunday in Match 24 of the Caribbean Premier League 2024, where Barbados Royals and St Lucia Kings were up against each other in Providence. Interestingly, the same thing happened a day ago between the same people, and the outcome was precisely the same.

It was the first ball of the day by Maharaj, who bowled a lovely flighted delivery to beat the outside edge off Du Plessis. He got what he wanted, as Du Plessis lost his balance while playing it. De Kock did the rest, bringing his lightning-quick hands with the big gloves into play to stump the 40-year-old.

The replay confirmed there was no part of Du Plessis’ foot inside the crease, and hence, he had to return to the pavilion after a six-ball four. Needless to say, it was a gorgeous delivery by Maharaj, which will be remembered for a while.

At the time of writing this, St Lucia Kings are 54/1 after eight overs, with Johnson Charles and Ackeem Auguste in the middle, batting on 33* and 16* respectively. Apart from Maharaj, Jason Holder has been very impressive with the new ball, giving up only 10 runs off his two overs.

It is important to note that the Royals still have Roston Chase, Tim Seifert, Aaron Jones and David Wiese to come. Therefore, don't be surprised if they end up putting up a huge total on the board.
