Yesterday was the series decider match between India and South Africa.
In the 3 match series, both India and South Africa have won one match each..
Series is now 1 - 1. Yesterday was the series decider match.
India again lost the toss and had to bat first.
Opening order batsmen Gaikwad was dropped and Rajat was playing his first international match.
Rajat was playing good and had hit his first international 6 !!!!
Rajat got out for 22 runs. India were 34/1.
Another opening batsman Sudarshan got out and India still need 1 run to reach 50 runs and already lost 2 wickets.
Samsun was playing good along with Rahul.
Rahul got out but Samsun was going strong.
I was getting bored. 33 overs passed and now India completed 150 runs.
India need to score big.
South Africa has big hitting batsmen.
Small total would not be sufficient.
Seems Samsun and Tilak had well sett settled by understanding the pitch.
Tilak after scoring 50 runs, got out.
New batsman Rinku Singh started to explode as soon as he came to crease.
Samsun scored his first 100 run.
He got out at 108 run. His 100 was crucial for India.
India had passed 250 runs for 5 wickets at the start of 46th over.
Washington was going strong but he was out when he was trying to hit a 6. South African skipper caught him near boundary line.
New batsman Arshdeep started his innings with a 6.
Because of Rinku Singh, India had reached 293 runs for 8 wickets.
He was out for 38 runs.
India finished their innings for 296 runs for 8 wickets.
South Africa had a good start. Their top order batsmen were going strong.
But Arshdeep again shined in bowling. Their middle order batsmen didn't stand for long.
Arshdeep had got 4 wickets.
India has won the match and also the series.
