India vs South Africa, 2nd Test: Mohammed Siraj's career-best 6-15 helps India bowl out South Africa for 55 on Day 1 of 2nd Test on January 3, 2024
Seamer Mohammed Siraj took a career-best 6-15 as India exploited a lively wicket to run through South Africa’s batting line-up and bowl the home side out for 55 on the stroke of lunch on the first day of the second Test at Newlands on Wednesday.
Siraj was superb with his line and length in a nine over spell after South Africa had elected to bat first.
At the time their captain Dean Elgar described the pitch as an “interesting wicket with a few snakes in it”, but there was also some poor shot selection from the hosts.
India’s seamers have been able to get movement off the wicket, but there is also variable bounce at a venue where there has been some low scores.
New Zealand were bowled out for 45 in 2013 and Australia for 47 in 2011.
South Africa’s previous lowest innings total against India in Tests was 79 at Nagpur in 2015. At home it was 130 at the same Newlands venue in 2018.
