Teenager Maphaka Makes Mark Against Australia With Career-best Fiery Spell
Despite South Africa: Despite South Africa falling short by 17 runs in first T20I to Australia, teenage fast bowler Kwena Maphaka managed to leave his mark with a career-best fiery spell of 4-20. Maphaka, 19, mixed raw pace with aggression to claim the scalps of Tim David, Mitchell Owen, Adam Zampa and Ben Dwarshuis at Marrara Stadium on Sunday.
He first uprooted Owen’s off stump with a 144kph delivery, and conceded only 14 runs off the 11 balls he bowled to David before removing him in the penultimate over. Maphaka also engaged in a spirited exchange with David, something his teammate Ryan Rickelton said summed up the pacer’s competitive streak.
"He's quite a fiery character. (But) he's very relaxed, very quiet in the change room. He had a bit of a go at Tim (David) there, but he's very competitive. He backs his ability which is great. It's cool to see a young guy stand up to Australia in their backyard."
