South Africa Cricket Team News

India defeated South Africa by 61 runs in the first T20I at Durban. Sanju Samson led the Indian batting charge, scoring a sensational 107 off 50 balls to push India past the 200-run mark while Ravi Bishnoi and Varun Chakaravarthy's three-fer put South Africa firmly on the back foot.

Nothing is more satisfying for a bowler than claiming two big wickets in a single over, and that's exactly what Varun Chakravarthy did in the first T20I between South Africa and India. He showcased his skill and class by dismissing the well-set David Miller and Heinrich Klaasen in quick succession.

South Africa dominated with the bat, bolstered by centuries from Tony de Zorzi, Tristan Stubbs, and Wiaan Mulder, reaching a total of 577/6. However, Bangladesh struggled early in their innings, losing four wickets within ten overs to close the day at a precarious 38/4, trailing by 537 runs.

Playing with sharp instincts on the field can often lead to crucial dismissals. Kyle Verreynne and Tony de Zorzi showcased this during the Test match against Bangladesh at Chattogram, where their confident appeal for a catch was upheld on review, successfully dismissing Shadman Islam.
