Budget
The veteran West Indian star opened the bowling and picked 3/31 and played a key role in putting USA under pressure with the ball in the first few overs.
The left-handed batter scored 43 key runs against England and continued his fine form with the bat and was the key reason for South Africa’s middle-order doing well .
