In a remarkable performance, Sam Curran achieved a rare double in The Hundred. He picked up 3-21 with the ball and scored an unbeaten 50 off 33 balls against Southern Brave. This feat makes him the second player, after Liam Livingstone, to take a three-for and make a fifty in the same match.
On the international stage, the first One-Day International (ODI) is being played between Australia and South Africa. Unfortunately, Kagiso Rabada has been ruled out of the series due to an inflammation in his right ankle. Kwena Maphaka has been called up as a replacement.
