Tale of Two Games at Chittagong – A Heart-Stopper & A Lop-Sided Affair - Kridangan Sports
It seemed odd that JP Duminy was chosen as the player-of-the-match at the end of an absolute thriller between New Zealand and South Africa at Chittagong on March 24, 2014. In fact the award should have gone to Dale Steyn for making the real difference. Steyn, single-handedly spoiled New Zealand’s party and brought cheers for South Africa in a controlled display of accurate pace bowling at death. This is not to take the credit away from the outstanding Duminy, who was largely instrumental in pushing the score to 170. The award panel was probably influenced by Duminy’s invaluable 43-ball 86 to South African batting, after most top-ranked batsmen got out cheaply.
