MICT all-rounder George Linde makes big impact before IPL 2026 auction

Before the series in Zimbabwe, Linde had also played three matches for another Mumbai Indians’ sister franchise, MI New York, in the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025. He claimed two wickets and scored 19 runs. Though Linde wasn’t there for the entirety of the competition, MINY went on to win the tournament for the second time by beating Washington Freedom in a thriller.

The 33-year-old also played one match for Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025.

He has also featured in the Caribbean Premier League, T20 Blast, and Bangladesh Premier League, but he is yet to make his debut in the IPL.

On Monday, he headlined South Africa’s superb bowling performance on a pitch aiding bowlers. Lungi Ngidi, the only senior pacer available for this series, claimed the wicket of opener Wessley Madhavere while Clive Mandande was sent back by young leg-spinner Nqabayomzi Peter.

Linde then began his spell, first by sending back opener Brian Bennett and then following it up with the wickets of Tashinga Musekiwa and Tony Munyonga in the 20th over. Zimbabwe were restricted to 141/6.

Captain Sikandar Raza was the best performer with an unbeaten 54 off 38 balls. He added 66 off 37 balls with Ryan Burl (29 off 20 balls).

In reply, Chennai Super Kings youngster Dewald Brevis blasted 41 off just 17 balls. He added 72 off 37 balls with Rubin Hermann as South Africa raced to the three-figure mark within 13 overs.

Lhuan-dre Pretorious made his T20I debut after a successful Test debut series. But he was out for a golden duck with a return catch to pacer Richard Ngarava. Fellow Reeza Hendricks also perished when he was castled by Ngarava in the third over.
