While South Africa’s bowlers, led by Keshav Maharaj and Lizaad Williams, managed to pick up a few wickets, the brilliance of Suryakumar Yadav and Yashasvi Jaiswal consistently thwarted their plans. The lack of significant wicket-taking contributions from other bowlers proved costly for South Africa, allowing India to post an imposing total. As the focus now shifts to the second innings, with South Africa needing to chase down 202, the question looms whether the Indian bowlers can form better plans after their performance with the ball in the previous game. The Wanderers’ pitch still appears favorable for batting, and South Africa faces the challenging task of surpassing the formidable target. The stage is set for an enthralling second innings, promising a gripping battle between bat and ball as both teams vie for victory. Join us in a bit for the run chase.

Yashasvi Jaiswal is down for a chat. He says he enjoyed his outing today and with the support of the Indian fans around, it felt like a home game. He adds that his partnership with Suryakumar Yadav was crucial and they wanted to take it deep without negotiating on the intent. He concludes that the total looks good and they will look forward to defending it.

India’s innings faced an early setback in the third over when Keshav Maharaj, with his crafty bowling, claimed 2 wickets in 2 balls. However, the resilient duo of Suryakumar Yadav and Yashasvi Jaiswal seized control, counterattacking the South Africa bowlers. Yashasvi Jaiswal contributed with a well-played 60 off 41 balls before falling victim to Shamsi. The onus then shifted to the skipper, Suryakumar Yadav, who orchestrated the latter part of the innings alongside Rinku Singh and Jitesh Sharma. The Indian middle order showcased remarkable resilience and flair, pushing the team past the 200-run mark.

As the first innings concludes in the highly anticipated 3rd and final T20 between India and South Africa, the Wanderers witnesses a batting spectacle of monumental proportions. After being put into bat by South Africa, India amassed a colossal first innings total of 201, losing 7 wickets in the process. The architect of this cricketing spectacle was none other than the Indian skipper and the reigning number one T20 batter in the world, Suryakumar Yadav. In a breathtaking display of skill and power, Suryakumar Yadav crafted a scintillating century, scoring 100 off just 56 balls. His innings was adorned with 7 boundaries and 8 towering sixes, propelling India to a commanding position. The innings was marked by a partnership of 112 runs between Suryakumar Yadav and Yashasvi Jaiswal, setting the stage for a formidable total.
