Surat, Sep 25: Off-spinner Deepti Sharma took three wickets and bowled the same number of maiden overs as India eves scripted a 11-run victory over South Africa in the first T20I of the five-match series at the Lalabhai Contractor Stadium here on Tuesday.

Chasing a modest 131 for victory, South Africa were buoyed by Mignon du Preez's gritty 43-ball 59 which kept them in the hunt. But Deepti's three maidens strangled the visitors as they were bowled out for 119 in 19.5 overs to hand India 1-0 lead in the series. Player of the match Deepti ended with career-best figures of 3/8 from 4 overs.
