In the ongoing 2nd T20I between South Africa and Pakistan at the Supersport Park in Centurion, the hosts are in trouble as they have lost an early wicket while chasing a target of 207 runs. Mumbai Indians' latest overseas recruit Ryan Rickelton has returned to the pavillion with a low score.

The visitors, batting first, rode on Saim Ayub's 98-run knock and posted a big total on the board. In reply, Ryan fell prey to Pakistan's rookie Jahandad Khan. Notably, on the 2nd ball of Khan's over, he bowled a fuller delivery that nipped away from the southpaw. 

Jahandad Shines On His Return

Rickelton tried to guide it toward covers but found a thick outside edge and Mohammad Rizwan made no mistake with the gloves. 

Rickelton's Form A Reason To Worry For Mumbai Indians' Fans

Rickelton, who was SA2024's leading run-getter, is going through a slump with the bat as he has amassed just 21, 13, 20, 1, 2 in his last five innings. Further, he missed the first T20I as he was busy featuring for the Proteas in the Test series against Sri Lanka. Nonetheless, Rickelton's form a worry for MI as they are thinking of him as a potential partner to Rohit Sharma in the opening .

Further, for Pakistan, Jahandad has replaced Sufiyan Muqeem for this match and has impressed with his bowling so far. At the time of writing this article, South Afrca are 36/2 and Jahandad has taken two wickets.
