The third T20I match is between India and South Africa. In this game, both teams ran very hard. India and South Africa scored a total of 427 runs. Tilak Verma hit a brilliant century for India while bowler Marco Janson scored 54 runs in just 17 balls for South Africa. In this game, Jansen scored 54 points with the help of 4 fours and 5 sixes, creating a new history in T20I cricket.
In fact, Marco Janson entered the field with aggressive intentions and attacked the Indian bowlers with the first ball. Jansen’s hard knocks almost brought South Africa back to level one, but in the final over, Arshdeep Singh turned the match in India’s favour. Although Janssen failed to lead the team to victory, he set a new record with a storming half-century of goals.
Marco Jansen completed his half-century against India in just 15 balls. In this way, he became the fastest batsman to score 50 runs against India in T20I cricket. Janssen broke the one-year record held by Australia’s Cameron Green. Last year, Green achieved a great feat by scoring a 16-ball half-century in Hyderabad.
