5th T20I: Tilak And Hardik Fifties Carry India To 231/5 Against South Africa
Narendra Modi Stadium: Powered by scintillating half-centuries from Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya, India posted a formidable 231/5 in their 20 overs in the fifth T20I against South Africa at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday.
In an innings where umpire Rohan Pandit and a camera operator took some blows on separate occasions, the pair added 105 runs for the fourth wicket, with Varma making 73 off 45 balls and Pandya hammering 63 off 38 deliveries, including getting his fifty in just 16 balls, the second fastest half-century hit by an India men’s batter in T20Is.
Sanju Samson, stepping in for the injured Shubman Gill, made an attractive 37, while Abhishek Sharma chipped in with a brisk cameo of 34 in a 63-run opening stand. Suryakumar Yadav’s lean run continued as he fell for five, but Varma and Pandya made up for it with some audacious clean hitting.
