South Africa vs India third T20I© AFP
South Africa captain Aiden Markram heaped reward on his workforce and backed them regardless of the loss towards India within the third T20I of the four-match collection on the SuperSport Park on Wednesday. Arshdeep Singh’s three-wicket haul and Tilak Varma’s unbeaten century helped India clinch an 11-run victory over South Africa. The right-hand batter stated that the workforce will “see areas to improve” for the fourth and remaining encounter of the collection which can be performed at Johannesburg on Friday.
“Proud of the effort to get that close. Good to see the contributions from the lower order. It was just down to executing what we discussed. This is a ground where you can chase 220. I feel it is almost an over by over thing. If you win those overs you have a great chance. We will see areas to improve for the next game,” Aiden Markram stated within the post-match presentation.
Recapping the match, South Africa received the toss and determined to area. Abhishek Sharma (50 runs from 25 balls, 3 fours and 5 sixes) and Tilak Varma (107* runs from 56 balls, 8 fours and seven sixes) powered India to 219/6 within the first innings. Other batters didn’t shine.
Andile Simelane and Keshav Maharaj led the Proteas bowling assault and bagged two wickets every of their respective spell.
During the run chase, Heinrich Klaasen (41 runs from 22 balls, 1 4 and 4 sixes) and Marco Jansen (54 runs from 17 balls, 4 fours and 5 sixes) saved the Proteas within the sport. But with the assistance of Arshdeep, India prevailed ultimately.
Arshdeep did the job each with the brand new ball and within the dying overs as he picked up three essential wickets and gave 37 runs in his four-over spell. Varun Chakaravarthy bagged two wickets in his four-over spell.
