India comes into today's match after consecutive victories over Sri Lanka (by 59 runs) and Pakistan (by 88 runs). South Africa defeated 2024 T20 World Cup winners New Zealand by six wickets on Monday (October 6) after losing to England by 10 wickets in their first match.
India's innings is over. The Indian team was all out for 251. At one point, it seemed unlikely India would even reach 200, as the twin blows of Tryon and Mlaba had India at 102 for six. However, Richa Ghosh and Amanjot steadied India's innings, and then Sneh Rana and Ghosh shared an 88-run partnership. Ghosh played a memorable 94-run innings that will be remembered for a long time.
However, India has once again found itself in a better position after a middle-order collapse. South Africa's target of 252 will be challenging, given the pitch's double-paced performance in the first innings. However, the pitch under lights looked better than before. Now, it remains to be seen how the Indian bowlers will strategize and how South Africa will recover from Ghosh's shock.
