India beat South Africa by 7 runs,win 3-Match T20I Series 2-1
Experienced first-class cricketer Christiaan Jonker, who was handed his international debut on Saturday night, brought South Africa close to a shocking win before India held their nerve in the last over to win the third and final T20 International by seven runs at Newlands in Cape Town on Saturday, winning the series 2-1 in the process.
Jonker made a 24-ball 49 and put on 51 runs in 3.3 overs with Farhaan Behardien for the sixth wicket at over 14.5 runs an over to bring his side close after they had looked down and out as late as the 18th over
South Africa’s strategy to open the innings with David Miller didn’t work out as the left-handed batsman, who has earned his stripes as a dasher, was probably expected to give a rousing start to the team.
But the slow pace of the wicket, its two-paced nature, was too much for him as he failed to get going, first out of his own volition perhaps in order to settle down and then failing to connect the shots. His watchful 23-ball 24 coupled with the slow knock from fellow opener Reeza Hendricks left a lot for the latter order batsmen.
It was probably the starts which made the difference. After seven overs, India were 62 for one while South Africa had snailed to 30 for one. Then, after 10 overs, while the Proteas were 52 for one, India had been 81 for two and a 17-run over from Tabraiz Shamsi was just around the corner.
South Africa had no such luxury of finding a weak link in the India bowling attack and when they found a couple, it was too late at the end.
