. . .-100 . . . . . div , , p . , . , After being 0-2 down and on the verge of losing the five-match T20I series, India recorded a stunning show in the Visakhapatnam T20I. The hosts were clinical with both bat and ball and registered a 48-run victory over the tourists, with the score-line reading 2-1 to South Africa after 3 matches. The proteas once again won the toss and continued with their strategy of chasing Indiarsquos total. This time the men in blue looked on a mission right from the word go. Both the openers ndash Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Khan ndash looked in great touch as they both mustered impressive half-centuries to set an excellent platform for the men in blue. While Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik couldnrsquot do much, a useful contribution by Hardik Pandya propelled India to a very healthy total of 179 runs. In response, South Africa looked under pressure right from the start as Indian bowlers bowled teasing lines and lengths to unsettle their counterparts.nbsp While no Indian bowler went for runs, it was actually the magic of Yuzvendra Chahal and Harshal Patel which was in full swing as the duo shared 7 wickets between them to derail the South African chase. As a result, no one really got going and eventually the tourists lost gas at the score of 131 runs. For his spell of 3-20 and 2 catches, leggie Chahal was adjudged the player of the match.
