India Vs South Africa Match Highlights

On a level, batter-friendly surface, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav chose to bat first after winning the toss. Ishan Kishan's outstanding start helped India to a dominant 240/6 in their 20 overs. The powerful opener set the tone for a huge total by smashing 53 runs off only 20 balls, including two fours and seven sixes.

India amassed runs at a breakneck pace thanks to Ishan's blitz, a quickfire 45 off 19 by Tilak Varma, and helpful middle order contributions (including 30 off 16 by Suryakumar Yadav and hard-hitting cameos from Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel).

The South African hitters fought hard to chase 241, but they were unable to keep up with India's scoring pace. In 20 overs, they scored 210/7. Tristan Stubbs (45 not out) and Ryan Rickelton (44) offered resistance, while captain Aiden Markram made 38 before quitting.

However, South Africa was pushed under the necessary run rate by India's consistent breakthroughs and tight bowling, which was spearheaded by Abhishek Sharma (2/32) and supported by various seam and spin alternatives.
