In the ongoing second Test match Pakistan is playing against South Africa at Newlands, Cape Town. It is important to note that, the Proteas have won the first match of the series and have already qualified for the WTC final.
Kagiso Rabada, known for his fiery character and sharp bowling, on Day 4 was at his best when he took on Kamran Ghulam. The South Africa's pacer, bowled a full-length delivery around off stump, which shaped back into Ghulam.
The batter, attempting to drive, misjudged the line and played for the straight ball. But Rabada's delivery nipped in sharply, sneaking through the gap between bat and pad to send the off stump cartwheeling.
