Leading Edge With Scent Ep 17 | World Cup Watch: SA’s Statement Win Over NZ + Super Over Drama
Loading player...
South Africa are into the Super 8s, and the World Cup is heating up fast. In Episode 17 of Leading Edge With Scent, we break down the match everyone’s talking about: South Africa vs Afghanistan — a chaotic finish with a Super Over, a second Super Over, clutch moments from KG Rabada, David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, and Keshav Maharaj, and a reminder that elite teams find a way even on a bad day.
We also touch on the bigger conversation around Afghanistan cricket, what fans expect from star players, and why comparisons to past protests in cricket aren’t always fair.
Plus: SA’s strong win over New Zealand, why Markram’s innings mattered, and a quick look at wicket-takers and teams under pressure.
