Anrich Nortje's Pace Can Be A Point Of Difference For Proteas In Champions Trophy

Comment by Ashfak Mohamed

Anrich Nortj last played for South Africa in June.

That was in the ill-fated T20 World Cup final against India in Bridgetown, Barbados, which the Proteas lost by seven runs in controversial circumstances.

Nortj produced an excellent four-over spell under the most intense scrutiny of a major title decider, with figures of 2/26 claiming the wickets of Shivam Dube 27 and Ravindra Jadeja two.

He ended the tournament as the joint-second-highest wicket-taker on 15, and breaking Dale Steyns SA record of 30 for most scalps in the history of the tournament.
