IND vs SA 1st T20I Live Updates: Match Summary

 

India won the first match of the three-match series by eight wickets as Suryakumar Yadav and KL Rahul hit half-centuries while Arshdeep took 3-32 in his four overs and Deepak Chahar bowled well too. 

 

While chasing a total of 107, India did not start well at all as the South African bowlers were on fire and reduced India to 16-1 in the first six overs which is the lowest powerplay score for the men in blue in the history of T20Is. Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli failed big time. However, Suryakumar Yadav came with an attacking internet and changed the courts of the game. 

 

Surya, alongside KL Rahul, added an unbeaten 93 off just 63 balls to win the game for India. 

 

Earlier in the evening, after losing the toss and being asked to bat first, South Africa were reduced to 9-5 before Aiden Markram and Wayne Parnell provided some sort of momentum to the innings. However, it was Keshav Maharaj with his 41 that got South Africa past 100 and made sure that the team did not get bowled out
