Commentary

  • End of Over 20
    Over 20. 11 runs. Bowler: Bhuvneshwar Kumar. South Africa: 165/6 (rr 8.25)
  • 19.6
    Christiaan Jonker c Rohit Sharma b Bhuvneshwar Kumar 49 (24)

    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.
