Follow Us
The wickets were left nowhere near where they should have been when Junior Dala bolwed an inch perfect yorker to dismiss Chris Gayle during the match between Jozy stars and Nelson Mandela Bay Giants on Saturday in the Mzansi Super League.
Jozi Stars won the toss and captain Temba Bavuma elected to bat first. Gayle came out to open the innings with Reeza Hendricks. It was in the fourth over that Gayle slashed a wide one from Junior Dala for a six. Dala’s immediate comeback in the next ball was visually ecstatic. He managed to execute an inch perfect yorker that sneaked past Gayle’s defense to rattle the stumps behind.
The ball’s recorded speed of over 146 km/hr was visible in the way the stumps went flying.
