In the video, Archer can be seen showcasing his wide array of shots, sending some deliveries for big sixes. Archer also contributed with the ball, grabbing a wicket in four overs, and conceding 26-runs.
Before Archer came into the fray, Ngidi had bowled three decent overs, conceding 24-runs and also grabbing the wicket of Sanju Samson.
His performance came crashing down when MS Dhoni asked him to bowl the final over. New man Archer sent him for four sixes, two of which came off no-balls. Three of them were from the first three deliveries of the over.
After the first two sixes, which came off legal deliveries, Ngidi overstepped twice. It was so disastrous that Ngidi conceded 27 off 2 balls, due to his two no-balls. After three deliveries, the South African calmed down the pressure and conceded three singles, a dot ball and a wide.
