Bad news for Team India from Centurion, had to drink a bitter sip so many years ago
India vs South Africa T20I Series: Now the third match of the four T20 match series being played between India and South Africa will be played. Two matches have been played in the series, out of which both the teams have won one match. That means whichever team wins the next match will not lose the series. The next match will now be played on the historic ground of Centurion. Before this, India has played only one T20 match here against South Africa, now it is the turn of the second match. However, the Indian team had to face defeat in that match. That means it will not be easy for the Indian team to win again in Centurion.
The Indian cricket team played a T20 International match against South Africa at the Centurion ground in 2018. Virat Kohli was captaining Team India in this match. This is the time when MS Dhoni was also playing for Team India. Batting first, India scored 188 runs at the loss of 4 wickets. The target was decent, but even after this Team India lost the match. In the match, Manish Pandey had scored a quick 79 runs on 48 balls for India. Whereas MS Dhoni had scored 52 runs on 28 balls.
South Africa won the Centurion T20 match by 6 wickets
After this, when the South African team entered the field, JP Duminy and Heinrich Klaasen batted tremendously. As captain, JP Duminy scored 64 runs on 40 balls and Heinrich Klaasen scored 69 runs on 30 balls. South Africa achieved the target by losing four wickets in only 18.4 overs. That means South Africa had managed to win the match by 6 wickets. After this, the Indian team will come here to play a T20 match.
This match is also remembered because Yuzvendra Chahal was badly beaten in it. Chahal had spent 64 runs in his four overs. Jaydev Unadkat also gave 42 in 3.4 overs. Chahal did not even get any wicket. Yes, it is true that Jaydev got two wickets, but these proved to be insufficient for victory. Teams have changed since then, but still there are some players who are playing from then till now. It will be interesting to see how the Indian team performs under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav in this match.
