Tilak Verma scores his first hundred in T20I matches

India got off to a very bad start in the second T20 against South Africa. When Sanzhou Samson returned to the pavilion, there was no account opened. Thereafter, Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Verma took up the scoring responsibility. Tilak scored 107 runs in 56 balls, including 8 fours and 7 sixes. Abhishek contributed 50 points. Captain Suryakumar Yadav failed again and could score just one run. Hardik Pandya scored 18 points and Ramandeep Singh scored 15 points. It is because of these players that India achieved a success of 219 runs. Keshav Maharaj took two wickets for Africa.

Marco Yanson scores half-century

South Africa’s batsmen, barring Heinrich Klassen, got off to a good start but failed to convert it into the big innings. Opener Ryan Rickelton scored 20 points and Reeza Hendricks scored 21 points. Captain Aiden McCram returned to the pavilion after a strong start but could only score 29 points. Marque Yanson scored an inning of 54 runs. Klassen contributed 41 points. But the African team is still 11 points short of the target, with only 208 points in 20 rounds.

Arshdeep’s power bowling in the death overs

Ardeep Singh bowled amazingly for India in the match. He took 3 wickets in four overs. Ashdeep scored only 8 runs in the 18th over and then he also took the wicket of Heinrich Klaasen who was batting brilliantly which was very important for India at that time. After that, he scored 13 points in the 20th over and sent Marco Janson back to the pavilion. Varun Chakraborty took 2 wickets to his name. Hardik Pandya and Akshar Patel took one wicket each.
