India Outplay SA By 11 Runs In 3rd T20I
Tilak Varma’s fabulous maiden T20I hundred formed the fulcrum of India’s narrow 11-run victory over South Africa in the third match here on Wednesday. India now have a 2-1 lead in the four-match series.
Abhishek (50, 25b, 3×4, 5×6) and Tilak (107 not out, 56b, 8×4, 7×6) carried India to a massive 219 for six. Tilak completed his first hundred in T20Is off just 51 balls.
South Africa were not really in chase despite Heinrich Klaasen (41, 22b, 1×4, 4×6) and Marco Jansen (54, 17b, 4×4, 5×6) trying gamely. SA were restricted to 208 for seven.
Brief scores: India: 219/6 in 20 overs (Tilak Varma, 107 not out, Abhishek Sharma 50; Keshav Maharaj 2/36, Andile Simelane 2/34) beat SA: 208/7 in 20 overs (Heinrich Klaasen 41, Marco Jansen 54; Varun Chakravarthy 2/54, Arshdeep Singh 3/37) by 11 runs.
