SA vs IND: India’s 296 for eight proved too much for South Africa in the third ODI in Paarl on Thursday. Samson’s century and Arshdeep’s four for 30 set up the visitor’s 78-run win.
India rode on Sanju Samson’s demoiselle transnational century and Arshdeep Singh’s four- gate haul to beat South Africa by 78 runs at Boland Park in Paarl on Thursday and decide the three- match ODI series 2- 1.
Chasing 297, South Africa was out to a strong launch as Reeza Hendricks and Tony de Zorzi put up a 59- run opening stage in quick time. Arshdeep also got Hendricks to play down from the body and edge a catch behind to the wicketkeeper.
Though de Zorzi continued his rich tone of form, Rassie van der Dussen and Aiden Markram fell to the spin brace of Axar Patel and Washington Sundar, independently.
Arshdeep also trapped de Zorzi in frontal with a yorker. South Africa lost its last six lattices for just 57 runs as hard- blockbuster Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller failed to fire.
Before, after being put in to club, debutant Rajat Patidar was off the blocks snappily. He smashed Nandre Burger for a six and a four in the space of three deliveries before being gutted up in the same over.
Sai Sudharsan, coming off two back- to- back half- centuries, decomposed soon after. Samson and commander KL Rahul sustained the boat with a 52- run cooperation for the third gate. Once Rahul departed, Tilak Varma joined forces with Samson and the left- hander indented up his demoiselle ODI half- century.
Samson, after getting off to a slow launch, accelerated seamlessly to notch up a 110- ball hundred and put India on course for a competitive aggregate. Rinku Singh minced in with a quickfire 27- ball 38 to help the caller to a match- winning aggregate. Know More Latest Cricket News…
