An absolute thriller of a clash at St George’s Park and SA have held their nerves to clinch the low-scoring humdinger! It wasn’t looking likely that SA would be able to pull it off when they were struggling at 86/7 but Stubbs and Coetzee maintained enormous composure to take their side home. The Proteas did a brilliant job with the ball to restrict India to a slightly under-par score. In reply, Rickelton struck a couple of boundaries but holed out in the deep, courtesy Arshdeep. Chakaravarthy came into bowl in the 5th over and knocked Markram over with a googly. He then got rid of Hendricks in his 2nd over. There was some turn and grip on offer and Chakaravarthy made the most of it. Jansen was promoted to No. 5 but the ploy didn’t work for SA as he fell to the mystery spinner. Bishnoi kept things tight from the other end. The turning point perhaps was Klaasen’s wicket and it was Chakaravarthy once again at the helm of it. Chakaravarthy then got rid of Miller next ball with a googly to pick up his maiden 5-wicket haul in T20ls and finished with outstanding figures of 5/17. Bishnoi took another wicket to keep the pressure on. But, Stubbs found an able ally in Coetzee. Coetzee got going from the word-go and that eased the pressure of Stubbs. Both of them capitalized on the momentum and stitched 42 off 20 to take their side to a win with an over to spare. Stick around for the presentations…
