In the first innings, he claimed three crucial wickets by conceding just 56 runs and ended the match with an impressive four wickets.
To add to his bowling prowess, Maharaj also contributed with the bat, scoring an unbeaten 41 runs, which demonstrated his versatility and potential as an all-rounder.
