Mitchell Santner led from the front with a ball in a liquid highly octane match against Proteas.
He allowed his team a key breakthrough as he interrupted his great partnership between Tembo Bavum and Razie Van der Dussen, rejecting Proteas’s skipper Bavum on the second ball of 23.
It is significant that Tembo Bavuma had gotten her life earlier when Kane Williamson had dropped a difficult chance of sending him a packaging. However, Santner created another chance, and this time it was a simple catch for Kane Williamson, who grabbed him comfortably.
Mitchell Santner then removed Rasie Van der Dussen in 27. In Inings. On the 5th ball of Over, Santner bought an absolute Jaffa to end the inings van der Dussen for 69 runs, with 4 four and 2 sixties.
Mitchell Santner fought a great delivery to the body in southern Africa, which came in and then straightened it up from the field. Razie Van der Dusen was shaped to push him on his side, but he completely missed the line, closed his face with a bat and let the ball break his stumps.

How did South Africa compete in her previous ICC champion Trophy 2025?
South Africa knocked England in her previous game ICC champion Trophy 2025 in Karachi and won 7 screws. In the competition, they provided their third consecutive loss under the leadership of Jos Buttler and made sure they finish their poor campaign without a victory.
England won the throw and decided to hit the match first. The decision returned as they fought a bowling attack in South Africa from the beginning.
Marco Jansen set the tone early, rejecting Phil Salt, Jamie Smith and Ben Duckett in PowerPlay to leave English in 37/3. Despite the short partnership between Joe Root (37) and Harry Brook (19), South African bowlers maintained relentless pressure.
Wiaan Mulder (3/25) and Keshav Maharaj (2/35) continued to choose Wikets at regular intervals, and England were eventually folded to the grade below 179 in 38.2 additions.
Chasing a modest total, South Africa faced early failures after Jofra Archer fired Tristan Stubbs and Ryan Rickelton to reduce them to 47/2.
However, Razie Van der Dussen (72*) and Heinrich Klaasen (64) took control of the conquest of a match of 127 runners. Klaasen was, in particular, aggressive, hit 11 borders in his 56 balls before falling into Adil Rashid.
Van der Dussen remained undefeated and made sure there was no further hiccups, as David Miller in the style ended with six, sealed victories in just 29.1 addition.
