**Ngidi Overtakes Steyn as South Africa’s Third-Highest T20I Wicket-Taker**
**Harare, Zimbabwe** – South African fast bowler Lungi Ngidi has surpassed legendary Dale Steyn to become the third-highest wicket-taker for South Africa in T20 International (T20I) cricket. The milestone was achieved during the first match of the ongoing triangular T20I series involving Zimbabwe, South Africa, and New Zealand at the Harare Cricket Ground.
Ngidi reached the landmark by taking the wicket of New Zealand’s Tim Seifert. This crucial wicket brought his T20I career tally to 65 in just 45 matches, eclipsing Steyn’s previous record of 64 wickets in 47 matches.
While Ngidi’s achievement is significant, he still trails Tabraiz Shamsi (89 wickets) and Kagiso Rabada (71 wickets) as the leading T20I wicket-takers for South Africa.
South Africa won the toss and elected to bowl in the match against New Zealand. The tournament promises exciting contests as the three nations battle for supremacy in the T20I format.
