Tilak Varma’s fabulous maiden T20I hundred formed the fulcrum of India’s narrow 11-run victory over South Africa in the third match in Centurion on Wednesday. India now have a 2-1 lead in the four-match series. Abhishek (50, 25b, 3×4, 5×6) and Tilak (107 not out, 56b, 8×4, 7×6) carried India to a massive 219 for six. Tilak completed his first hundred in T20Is off just 51 balls. South Africa were not really in chase despite Heinrich Klaasen (41, 22b, 1×4, 4×6) and Marco Jansen (54, 17b, 4×4, 5×6) trying gamely.
SA were restricted to 208 for seven.(Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by News staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)
