In this match, after batting and ball, he also showed amazing performance in fielding.
Marnus Labuschagne performed brilliantly
Lambuschagne showed his excellence in bowling first and took three wickets. Here he sent England opener Ben Duckett, captain Harry Brook and Jofra Archer to the pavilion. He showed his strength in fielding and took four catches, two of which he took on his own ball. Due to Labuschagne's strong bowling and fielding, England's team could not reach the expected score. Here the team was all out for 315 runs.
Labushe played an innings of 77 runs
After this, Labushen also showed his strength with the bat and played an unbeaten innings of 77 runs with the help of 7 fours and 2 sixes in just 61 balls. With this performance, Lambuschagne has now become the first player in the world to score 50+ runs, take 3 wickets and 4 catches in a single ODI match. This is a record that no player in the world could make before him.
I would love to take credit for
When asked about his strong performance after the match, he said, 'I would love to take credit for it but it was forced. As long as they were batting well, the drop in the run rate proved beneficial for us. I think it is great to see peace in the team. We also have some young players in our team. We have a lot of faith in each other and hopefully we will keep winning.
