South Africa Vs India News

India defeated South Africa by 11 runs in the third T20I at Centurion. The Indian batting was led by Abhishek Sharma’s half-century and Tilak Varma’s 107* off 56, propelling them to a total of 219/6 while the hosts fell short in their chase despite Marco Jansen’s fiery 41 off 22 balls.

While interruptions are common in cricket, it's rare when wildlife takes centre stage. At Centurion, flying ants took full advantage of the open field and made their presence felt during South Africa’s chase as the on-field umpires were forced to halt play, giving the insects a brief moment of fame.

Consistency is a tough ask when balancing risk and intent on the cricket field. Sanju Samson’s bold approach cost him as he fell to Marco Jansen for a golden duck in the second T20I against South Africa at St George’s Park, Gqeberha, ending his streak after back-to-back T20I centuries.
