India vs South Africa first T20I match re-cap
South Africa, who were asked to bat first could give a small target of 107. It was an easy target because Indian bowlers outclassed the Proteas batters; only Keshav Maharaj played a worthy knock of 41 runs. Young sensation Arshdeep Singh grabbed three wickets in a single over. He has adjudged the Player of the Match.
During India’s chase, Kohli could score only three runs before Anrich Nortje dismissed him. But opener KL Rahul played a slow knock but contributed enough runs that were needed to win the match.
But it was Suryakumar Yadav who shone with the blade when he smashed an unbeaten 50 runs off 33 balls, taking India to an eight-wicket victory in the three-match series.
“When you play a game like that you learn a lot. It was nice to play a game like that. [Surface] Not really, not so much. We knew there will be something for the bowlers, but not through the 20 overs we bowled. It was sticky, there was still dampness, and it stayed throughout,” skipper Rohit Sharma said during the post-match presentation.
“There was no sun so it makes it difficult to hit. Both teams were in the contest. We got wickets upfront, and that was the turning point. No matter what the conditions, you still have to execute your plans. When you swing the ball like that any batter will struggle. 107, we knew it was not going to be that easy. We got to respect the conditions at times, understand what shots can be played. We lost two wickets, but that partnership was crucial,” he added.
