IND vs SA: Youth team got success but destination is still far away, match turned due to Chahal’s spin
IND vs SA: After this year’s defeat against South Africa in two Tests, three ODIs and two T20s, Team India finally got a victory. The African team had defeated India on their soil in January in two Tests and three ODIs.
After that Team India lost two T20 matches in the current series. In Visakhapatnam, located on the Bay of Bengal coast, the youth brigade showed enthusiasm and the team got a resounding victory.
IND vs SA: Indian openers did wonders :-
On Tuesday, June 14, Team India’s opening batsmen did wonders first. Rituraj Gaikwad (57) and Ishan Kishan (54) kept the African bowlers away from early success. Both shared 97 runs for the first wicket.
Hardik Pandya’s finishing touch :-
Hardik Pandya scored 31 runs in 21 balls to take the team close to 180 runs. Then Yuzvendra Chahal and Harshal Patel, who failed in the last two matches in the bowling, appeared in their colors. Harshal took four and Chahal took three wickets and put the match in Team India’s bag.
It is not that everything went well for the Indian team in this match. The middle order disappointed in the second match in a row. Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik did not bat. At the same time, in the bowling, Avesh Khan could not take wickets in the third consecutive match. Avesh, who has bowled 11 overs in the series, is looking for the first wicket.
IND vs SA: Chahal’s bowling became the turning point in the match :-
Chahal, who took 27 wickets in the 15th season of IPL for Rajasthan Royals, was running out of form in this series. The magic of his balls was not visible. In this match, Chahal gave his fans a chance to be happy.
He put the African team under pressure by dismissing Russi van der Dussen on the fifth ball of the seventh over and Dwayne Pretorius in the sixth ball of the ninth over.
Dussen was the hero of the first match. At the same time, Pretorius is known for scoring fast runs. Chahal then sent the star of the second match, Heinrich Klaasen, to the pavilion and pushed the African team on the backfoot.
Klaasen got out in the 15th over. Team India’s victory was confirmed as soon as he left. Harshal Patel also took four wickets in this match, but it was Chahal who put the African team under pressure.
Performance of both the captains :-
Captain Runs Balls Fours Sixes Strike Rate
- Rishabh Pant 6 8 0 0 75.00
- Temba Bavuma 8 10 0 0 80.00
IND vs SA, 3rd T20: This happened well for the Indian team in the match :-
The Indian team’s openers performed brilliantly. The pairing of Ishaan Kishan and Rituraj Gaikwad was successful at the international level for the first time. Both have shown that they can do wonders in the future. Hardik did his job as a finisher.
He was looking under pressure at first; but in the end he scored a quick run to take the team to 179 runs in 20 overs. Hardik scored 31 not out off 21 balls. He hit four fours in his innings.
In the bowling, Harshal did his job by taking four, Chahal three and Bhuvneshwar-Akshar taking one wicket each. The economy rate of all four also remained below eight.
Indian team will have to work in this area :-
Team India’s main three batsmen flopped badly. Captain Rishabh Pant could not make a big score in the third match in a row. He scored 29 runs in the first match, but could score only five and six runs in the second and third matches. Shreyas Iyer starts well in every match, but is not able to convert it into big innings.
This time Iyer could only score 14 runs off 11 balls. A batsman who takes more than 10 balls in T20 is considered set, but Iyer again disappointed. Dinesh Karthik came in the team as a finisher. He also had a chance in this match, but he could only score six runs in eight balls. The last two matches are going to be important for them. If he scores runs, he will be with the team. At the same time, if the bag fails, the bed can be tied.
Players performed well in the match for South Africa :-
Three bowlers from the African team conceded runs at an economy rate of eight or less. Kagiso Rabada took one wicket for 31 runs in four overs. Wayne Parnell conceded 32 runs in four overs. They did not get any success. Dwayne Pretorius took two wickets for 29 runs in four overs.
