South Africa end India Tour on a Losing Note
South Africa started this tour with a poor batting performance in the first T20I, and they end it with a disappointing batting performance in the final ODI.
TNI Bureau: India won the T20I series by a 2-1 margin, and they take the ODI series by a similar scoreline as Dhawan collects the trophy and the young Indian blokes pose for the cameras along with that trophy. South Africa started this tour with a poor batting performance in the first T20I, and they end it with a disappointing batting performance in the final ODI.
India’s bench strength showed their prowess in the ODIs, but South Africa will be hurt after these losses against a second string Indian side.
Courtesy of some remarkable bowling performances by the spinners, Team India came out on top against South Africa in the series-deciding third ODI at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Tuesday (October 11). With this lop-sided win, India sealed another ODI bilateral series at home 2-1.
Earlier, India had won the T20I series 2-1. Both the series wins will give Team India a big boost ahead of the T20I World Cup, although the ODI series was inconsequential and failed to generate the enthusiasm as the key Indian players were rested.
