The third and final match of the three-match Test series between India and South Africa is being played at the Newlands ground in Cape Town. In this match, the Indian team scored 223 runs in the first innings. End of first day game South Africa have scored 17 runs for the loss of one wicket. On the second day of this match, the entire burden is now on the bowlers of Team India. The Indian bowlers can ensure the victory of Team India on the second day itself.
In the first innings, Team India got out on a very small score. Virat Kohli scored 79 runs in the captaincy innings. Apart from him, no batsman could play a big innings. South Africa have scored 17 runs for the loss of one wicket. Adam Markram (8) is at the crease and Keshav Maharaj (6) is at the crease. Jasprit Bumrah led South African captain Dean Elgar to the pavilion. He could make only 3 runs. Now the team has high expectations from Bumrah, Mohammad Shami and Umesh Yadav on the second day. If these three bowlers get rid of South Africa early then the victory of the Indian team can be assured today.
Team India’s bowlers will now have to wrap up South Africa with a small score somehow. If the bowlers of the Indian team somehow get the African team out for less than 200 runs, then the team will get a good lead in the first innings. The African team will also have to bat in the fourth innings at Cape Town. The good news for Team India is that if they can beat South Africa by less than 200 runs, the team can set a good target in the second innings. Let me tell you that the average score of the fourth innings in Cape Town is only 161 runs. This is good news for the Indian team.
In the third Test, India scored 223 in the first innings against South Africa. For Team India, skipper Virat Kohli top-scored with 79 and Cheteshwar Pujara with 43. The Indian team has started badly in the third Test. The Indian openers soon lost their wickets and returned to the pavilion. For India, KL Rahul scored 12 and Mayank Agarwal scored just 15 runs. Ajinkya Rahane has not been able to play a big innings again. He was dismissed for 9 runs. Ravichandran Ashwin 2 runs, Shardul Thakur 12 runs and Jasprit Bumrah were out without a run.
