Rassie van der Dussen made an unbeaten 91 off 64 balls, including 5 fours and 5 sixes, with a strike rate of 142.19, during the match against Paarl Royals.
But in the second innings when he was fielding at cover-point, his right-hand ring finger got hurt while he tried to catch a shot from Joe Root off Trent Boult.
He was forced to leave the field after the ball brushed his fingertips and went for four. He applied an ice pack to the swollen finger after the game, and there was no bruising or discomfort during handshakes.
Van der Dussen remains an important part of South Africa’s plans for the Champions Trophy 2025, where he has been named as their No.3 in the batting lineup. However, his finger injury may be a cause of concern.
