In the first T20I of the ongoing five-match series, South Africa defeated India by seven wickets at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Thursday.

Chasing a humungous 212, the Proteas kept the run-rate sky high despite losing some wickets at the top. The Temba Bavuma-led side did lose t🍌hree wickets, but the score read 81/3 in 8.4 overs, indicating the run-flow p𝄹rocess was at the top level.

Before the hosts could capitalise, the visitors accelerated the run-flow even more, with Rassie van der Dussen and David Miller taking Indian to the cleaners. The duo didn’t waste any time and kept finding regular boundaries to keep the pre�♎�ssure on ‘Men in Blue’.

Van der Dussen and Miller formed an unbeaten 131 runs partn൲ership for the fourth wicket to take South Africa home with five balls to spare. While Van der Dussen stayed undefeated on 75 off 46 balls, Miller remained not out at 64 from 31 deliveries.

Earlier, Ishan Kishan roared back in form in grand style. The left-handed expl𓆉osive opener smashed a scintillatin🧔g 76 off 48 balls with the help of 11 fours and three sixes.

Apart from Kishan, new skipper Rishabh Pant (29 off 16) and all-rounder Hardik Pandya (31 not out 12) chipped in with valuable contributions in the later stages to help India set up a massive 211/4 on the board in their a🌟llotted 20 overs.

हार से निराशा होती है लेकिन अगली बार दम दिखाकर जीत का ‘हार’ पहनने की प्रेरणा भी हार से ही मिलती है। और हां, आज ऋषभ पंत टी20 इंटरनेशनल में देश का दूसरा सबसे यंग कैप🐭्टन बना। साउथ अफ्रीका को रन चेज की बधाई, अपनी टीम को संडे के लिए all the best.

Well played, South Africa. Expected SA toꦡ be more than competitive…losing Markram was a huge blow but didn’t make a difference in the end. Miller has started from where he’d left in the IPL…and Rassie…ufff…what a turnaround after that drop.

First time in the history of T20Is a team has successfully chased 126 runs in the last 10 overs (11-20). South Africa tonight were 86-3 after 10 and needed 126 more. The previous record was 125🦹 runs by Australia against Pakistan in T20WC 2010 (that Mike Hussey inns!).
