In Wednesday’s third match in Centurion, India defeated South Africa by a slim margin of 11 runs, largely thanks to Tilak Varma’s incredible first T20I century. In the four-match series, India now leads 2-1. India reached a huge 219 for six thanks to Abhishek (50, 25b, 3×4, 5×6) and Tilak (107 not out, 56b, 8×4, 7×6). Tilak needed just 51 balls to reach his first century in T20Is. Despite gamely attempts by Marco Jansen (54, 17b, 4×4, 5×6) and Heinrich Klaasen (41, 22b, 1×4, 4×6), South Africa was not really in the chase. For seven, SA was limited to 208.
