    WTC Final: 'The Best Wicket I Could’ve Gotten', Ngidi On Smith's Dismissal

    World Test Championship: South Africa’s Lungi Ngidi opened up about his devastating second innings spell on Day 2 of the World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia at Lord’s and admitted that Steve Smith's dismissal was probably the "best wicket" he could have gotten.

    After South Africa pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada removed Usman Khawaja (6) and Cameron Green (0) in quick succession and Marco Jansen got Marnus Labuschagne (22), then Ngidi got the massive wicket of Smith, trapping him lbw for 13 to reduce Australia to 48/4.

    "I think because of the stage that we’re playing on, that’s probably the best wicket I could’ve gotten. Having struggled a bit in the first innings and then to be able to get that wicket, at that stage, it probably ranks very high up there for me. I can’t put into words how I felt about taking that wicket. Such a relief," Ngidi told ICC Digital.
