India vs South Africa T20 Highlights: South Africa secured a comfortable victory over India in the ongoing T20 match, winning by 3 wickets with a steady chase of 125. India, batting first, posted a modest total of 124/6 in their 20 overs. Hardik Pandya was the lone standout with the bat, remaining not out on 39* off 37 balls. Despite his efforts, India struggled to build partnerships, with key players failing to make an impact. Sanju Samson (0), Abhishek Sharma (4), Suryakumar Yadav (4), Tilak Varma (20), Axar Patel (27), and Rinku Singh (9) all fell to a disciplined South African bowling attack.
Marco Jansen, Andile Simelane, Gerald Coetzee, and Nqabayomzi Peter each took a wicket, keeping the pressure on India throughout their innings. Jansen and Coetzee’s early breakthroughs were key to stifling India’s top order, while Simelane’s control in the middle overs further limited the run-scoring opportunities.
In response, South Africa had a rocky start, losing early wickets, including Aiden Markram (3) and David Miller (0), but they managed to recover. Ryan Rickelton (13), Reeza Hendricks (24), and Tristan Stubbs (not out 47) steadied the ship, with Stubbs anchoring the chase in the final overs. Despite losing wickets at regular intervals, including Heinrich Klaasen (2) and Andile Simelane (7), Coetzee’s 19 runs in the lower order guided South Africa home with three wickets to spare.
Varun Chakravarthy was the standout bowler for India, claiming an impressive 5 wickets, while Ravi Bishnoi and Arshdeep Singh each took one wicket. However, India’s total was always on the lower side, and despite Chakravarthy’s brilliance, South Africa’s chase was never in serious danger, ending with a victory by 3 wickets.
