India vs South Africa

The third T20I match was played between India and South Africa. In this match, there was heavy rain of runs from both the teams. India and South Africa scored 427 runs together. While Tilak Verma scored a brilliant century for India, bowler Marco Janson scored 54 runs in just 17 balls for South Africa. In this match, Yanson scored 54 runs with the help of 4 fours and 5 sixes and created a new history in T20I cricket.

Actually, Marco Janson entered the field with aggressive intentions and attacked the Indian bowlers with the very first ball. Yanson’s stormy batting almost made the South African team come back in the match at one time but in the last over, Arshdeep Singh turned the match in favor of India. Even though Yanson could not lead his team to victory, he created a new record by scoring a stormy half-century.

Marco Jansson completed his half-century against India in just 15 balls. In this way, he became the fastest batsman to score a fifty in T20I cricket against Team India. Yanson broke the year-old record of Australia’s Cameron Green. Green had done a great feat last year in Hyderabad by scoring a half-century in 16 balls.
