India has taken a 2-1 lead in the four-match T20 International series against South Africa after a hard-fought 11-run victory at Supersport Park in Centurion last night.
Batting first, the T20 World Cup champions posted a total of 219 for six in their allotted 20 overs, driven by a remarkable unbeaten century from 22-year-old Tilak Varma.
Varma scored 107 off 56 balls, hitting eight fours and seven sixes, and formed a 106-run partnership with Abhishek Sharma, who contributed 50.
South Africa ended their chase at 208 for seven, with a late surge from all-rounder Marco Jansen, who scored 54 off 17 balls.
Despite Jansen’s efforts, South Africa fell short.
The series concludes with the final match at the Wanderers in Johannesburg tomorrow.
The fans are buzzing in Centurion tonight!🏟️✨
Lots of boundaries to keep the crowd cheering!🥳#WozaNawe #BePartOfIt#SAvIND pic.twitter.com/JwQSA9r6HC
