5th T20I: Chakaravarthy, Bumrah Star As India Beat SA By 30 Runs, Clinch Series 3-1
Narendra Modi Stadium: Riding on Varun Chakaravarthy’s four-for and Jasprit Bumrah’s match-winning spell, India sealed the five-match T20I series 3-1 with a 30-run win over South Africa at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday.
Chasing 232, South Africa looked well placed to reach the target after being at 118/1 at the halfway mark, with Quinton de Kock and Dewald Brevis in full flow. But the introduction of Bumrah in the 11th over turned the contest on its head as he dismissed de Kock for 63 by taking a sharp return catch.
From 120/1, South Africa slipped to 135/5, as Chakaravarthy tightened the screws with his variations to finish with 4-53. Bumrah’s 2-17 stood out on a night when more than 400 runs were scored - his slower balls accounting for de Kock and Marco Jansen.
