Key Stats
19.6 Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Christiaan Jonker
OUT! Caught. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Christiaan Jonker. Full toss, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, thick edge to deep cover, by Sharma. What a fantastic end to both the game and series as India squeeze out a seven run victory and a 2-1 series win. Unfortunately for Jonker the final ball wicket leaves him stranded on 49 and without a 50 on debut but what a transformation we saw from South Africa in the final few overs of this game after Duminy kickstarted a resurgence in the 12th over. It looked to be a dead game before that and all credit to the Indian pacers who used their variations superbly to prevent the top order from scoring runs in them early overs. A brilliant game of cricket sums up this series in which we have seen some fantastic competition between the two teams throughout.

-1.0 to
Start of South Africa Innings. The game is well in the balanced after that first innings. We were given an electric brand of cricket from both teams in the 20 overs there as we saw Dhawan and Raina both power their way into the 40's and they were surrounded by starts all around them with all but the final two batsman making double figures. We saw some good bowling, in particularly from Dala who took three wickets to record his best internation T20 bowling figures. We also saw dropped catches, a couple from Shamsi to forget. The Indian's were timing the ball really well this evening and if South Africa can manage to do the same, I don't see any reason why they can't chase down this total. One things for sure, we're in for a good game as the decider comes down to the final 20 overs.
