Chelaregina Pandya, Tilak..
Ice effect makes target penetration easier. That's why Safari team won the toss and chose to bowl first. Our batsmen have already realized that if they put a huge target on the score board, they can win the match. Accordingly, in the power play, Team India openers Abhishek Sharma (34) and Sanju Samson (37) added 63 runs for the first wicket in 5.4 overs. Sanju brilliantly missed the chance to replace Gill. He played aggressively and scored runs. However, captain Suryakumar Yadav (5) failed once again. But, Tilak Verma (73) and Hardik Pandya (63) made the deficit invisible. They added 105 runs for the fourth wicket and gave India a huge score. In this sequence, Hardik registered the second fastest half-century in just 16 balls. Shivam Dube (10 runs off 3 balls) hit a four and a six as soon as he came. Among the safari bowlers, Bosh, Bartman and Linde took 2 wickets each.
Varun hit..
Looking at the beginning of South Africa, it seemed that the target of 232 runs set by Team India was not enough at all. In-form opener Quinton de Kock (65) exploded. Targeting India's top bowler Arshdeep Singh, he hit three boundaries in the first over. De Kock continued the attack even after that. However, captain Surya bowled three overs with Washington Sundar, who was not exceptionally Varun in the power play. India could breathe a sigh of relief as he did so. Otherwise the situation would have become more dangerous. In this sequence, Varun, who came to the bowling, took a wicket in his first over and gave a break to Team India. He dismissed Reeza Hendricks (13).
However, Daywald Brevis (31), who batted in top gear on his return, looked dangerous. Hardik Pandya's slow short-pitched ball caught Brevis. Sundar took a brilliant catch at the boundary line. On the other hand, de Kock completed his half century while the runs were coming. However, in his second spell, Varun dismissed key players Aiden Markram (6) and Ferreira (0) in consecutive balls. Bumrah dismissed the crucial de Kock with a return catch and hurt the Safaris. In the end, Marco Jansson (14) and Bosch (17) fought a bit but could not win their team. Among the Indian bowlers, Varun 4, Bumrah 2.. Arshdeep, Pandya each took a wicket.
