A rain-hit final at Wanderers turned into a seamer’s paradise, and Shaun Pollock delivered an unplayable spell to lead South Africa to victory over England in the 2000 Standard Bank Triangular Tournament Final! After days of torrential rain, the match was reduced to 45 overs per side. England won the toss and immediately put South Africa into bat on a lively pitch, a decision that seemed perfect when South Africa collapsed to 21/5 within 9 overs. But a crucial 74-run stand between Hansie Cronje and Mark Boucher helped the Proteas recover to a respectable total. However, when England came out to chase, Pollock produced magic. He bowled his full quota in one spell, returning his best figures against England, as all five of his wickets came via catches behind the stumps! 📌 Key Highlights: ✅ Shaun Pollock’s match-winning 5-wicket haul (Best vs England) ✅ England reduced to rubble in a fierce opening spell ✅ Hansie Cronje & Mark Boucher’s vital rescue act ✅ Darren Gough & Andy Caddick’s early breakthroughs ✅ A final dominated by seam movement & slip catches! 🏆 Pollock was named both Man of the Match & Man of the Series! 🔔 Like, Comment & Subscribe for more legendary cricket recaps! #final #southafricavsengland #cricketmax #highlights
