XtraTime Web Desk: South Africa Captain Faf du Plessis's tactical twist has brought immediate dividends, as Imran Tahir becomes the first spinner to deliver the first ball of a World Cup. Adding to the drama of the event, he picked up the vital wicket of Bairstow on his second delivery. He lunged onto the front foot to one that gripped and turned just far enough to kiss the outside edge on the way through to de Kock, and Tahir was off in his famous celebration! Head aloft, arms spread wide, and no-one can catch him. Pure joy. The first move though has already created the first serious impact in the ICC World Cup 2019.
