Imran Tahir’s second wicket in the clash against Pakistan on Sunday helped him surpass Allan Donald’s record for the most number of wickets taken by a South African player in World Cup tournaments.
Imran Tahir (39 wickets, 20 matches) Allan Donald (38 wickets, 25 matches). Tahir’s second wicket against Pakistan helped him move over the previous South African leading wicket-taker Allan Donald’s record of 38 wickets in 25 matches.
