The opening duo of Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma gave the team a right start, they carried their superb form into this game and amassed 73 runs in the powerplay before Abhishek Sharma edged Heinrich Klaasen.

Tilak Verma, who topped his maiden T201 century from the last match, came out all guns blazing, further accelerating the already very high pace for the South African bowlers.

Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma launched an attack with fours and sixes and both batsmen reached triple figures.

Tilak Varma’s 120 from 47 balls became the second Indian after Sanju Samson and the fifth player to score consecutive centuries in T20I cricket.

Sanju Samson marked his third century with 109 off 56 balls in the last five T20Is he played.
