How the match changed..
At one point it seemed that the Indian team would lose the match. Henrik Klaasen completely turned the match around at the crease. In particular, Klaasan turned the match towards the South African team by giving away 24 runs in one over of Akshar Patel. From here the match was completely in the South African camp. Klaasen’s explosive batting calmed the Indian players. It seemed that now India will lose this match. Rohit’s face started showing feelings of disappointment.
The match changed here
At one point South Africa’s score was 151 runs in 16 overs. Klaasen was at the crease. In such a situation, Rohit had faith in Hardik Pandya. Hardik had a big responsibility. This over can completely change the match. But it is said that anything is possible if luck is with you, this is what happened. Hardik gave India a big win by dismissing Klaasen on the very first ball of the 16th over. Klaasen hit Hardik’s outgoing ball with his bat, the ball went to wicketkeeper Pant. Pant took the catch easily and sent Klaasen to the pavilion. India got big success. Klaassen was completely disappointed. A wave of happiness ran through the Indian camp. Once again there is hope for India. Hardik brought great success to India. The South African team suffered a major blow in the form of Klaasen.
Jasprit Bumrah did wonders
Captain Rohit did a great captaincy after Klaassen’s dismissal. Rohit bowled Bumrah under this pressure. Bumrah bowled Marco Jansen to put the South African team under pressure. The South African camp was quiet. The excitement of the match was at its peak. South Africa were 156 runs in 17.4 overs when Marco Jansen got out. After 18 overs, the score of the South African team was 156/6. South Africa’s last hope was in the form of David Miller at the crease.
Arshdeep Singh’s 19th over
Rohit gave the responsibility of bowling the 19th over to Arshdeep Singh. Arshdeep kept his captain’s faith. Arshdeep conceded just 4 runs in the 19th over which put full pressure on the South African team. South Africa’s score was 161 for 6 in 19 overs. Now the match was in the last over.
With 16 runs needed in the last over, Rohit handed the ball to Hardik Pandya. The match was in favor of India. David Miller stood in the middle of India’s victory. Miller had made up his mind. South Africa needed 16 runs.
Great catch by Suryakumar Yadav
The first ball of the 20th over was a low full toss. David Miller hits a sharp shot, the ball goes to the log-off boundary. It looked like the ball might not go for a sixer, but miracles happen in big matches, Suryakumar Yadav jumped in the air and took the catch. Surya took the catch near the boundary, in the first attempt he caught the ball and threw it out, then in the second attempt he came out of the boundary and took the catch again. Miller was out. Indian players started celebrating this with great enthusiasm. Rohit’s happiness was on cloud nine. Kohli’s reaction was also worth watching. The Indian team was now on the verge of victory.
