India secured a thrilling 11-run victory to take a 2-1 lead in the series. India posted a challenging total of 219/6, with Tilak Varma starring with an impactful 107 from 56 balls. His performance anchored India's innings after a slightly wobbly start, especially following the dismissal of Sanju Samson, the centurion from the first match, and then he perished for consecutive ducks in the next two. Suryakumar Yadav's leadership and strategic moves, including backing Varma to bat at No. 3, helped India set up a substantial target. In response, South Africa fought valiantly but fell short, finishing at 208/7, despite late bursts from Marco Jansen, who hit 26 runs off the penultimate over and eventually ended up with 54 off 17 and Heinrich Klaasen's cameo of 41 of 22 and along with David Miller's 18 of 18 towards the death overs were looking ominous to take South Africa home safely. India's disciplined bowling, led by Arshdeep Singh, who took crucial wickets at key moments, ultimately sealed the win. South Africa’s 19 extras, compared to India’s mere six, proved costly. Every run in such a high-pressure game where the balance can swing either side, these mere runs matters hugely towards the end result of the game.
