Boundary rope catches aren't the easiest to take. Players have to show not just excellent ability to track the trajectory of the ball but also be aware of the distance between them and the rope. India's Mohammed Siraj couldn't keep this delicate balance as he looked to catch a shot by South Africa's David Miller in the 3rd T20I in Indore on Tuesday.
South Africa's David Miller says they are feeling "really confident" ahead of the Twenty20 World Cup this month despite their series loss to India.
Suryakumar Yadav appreciated the superb century scored by South African David Miller in the second T20I here on Sunday, which India won by 16 runs to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Half-centuries from Surya (61) and KL Rahul (57), along with equally blistering knocks by Rohit Sharma (43) and Virat Kohli (49 not out), laid the foundation of India's win, which was at one stage threatened by Miller (106 not out), who smashed his second T20I hundred but was not able to take his team across the line. After posting a mammoth 237/3 on the board, India survived some nervous moments in the death overs before restricting South Africa to 221/3 for a close win.
World Cup as he cited Australia's title triumph in the previous edition despite their wretched run ahead of the big-ticket event. South African top-order batters struggled badly while their bowlers were also not at their best on Sunday as India took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series with a 16-run win in the second game here. The loss will hurt them little, said Miller, saying Australia had also struggled badly in 2021 but eventually they became the world champions. Australia had entered the World Cup after five back-to-back series defeats in the format.
Rahul sizzled with a 28-ball 57 in the India's series-clinching 16-run win over South Africa in the second T20I to silence his critics on Sunday.
India's death overs bowling issues is not a concern but the team does need to improve its execution at the back end of the match, said skipper Rohit Sharma on Sunday. Invited to bat, India posted a massive 237 for 3 but South Africa recovered from a disastrous start to take the game deep before eventually falling short by 16 runs as the hosts claimed their first win over the Proteas in a T20 series at home. "The team wants to play and bowl in a certain way and we want to give them that freedom. Yes, we have not really bowled well in the death in the last five or six games. But that is the area where people will challenge us and we are doing the same to the opposition as well," Rohit said in the post-match presentation.
