India vs South Africa highlights, 1st T20I: Sanju Samson scored a scintillating century as India inflicted a 61-run defeat on South Africa in the first T20I on Friday at Kingsmead in Durban. Invited to bat, Samson blazed away to 107 off 50 balls, hitting as many as 10 sixes and seven fours to help India post 202/8. 

The spin duo of Varun Chakaravarthy (3/25) and Ravi Bishnoi (3/28) then shared six wickets between them to bowl out South Africa for 141 in 17.5 overs. Earlier, Samson became the first Indian to score back-to-back centuries in T20Is. The opener notched his second T20I hundred off just 47 balls. 

His first had come in India’s last outing against Bangladesh last month. However, South Africa clawed their way back into the game as they stemmed the flow of runs by picking wickets in the last five overs. Pacer Gerald Coetzee who claimed three wickets was the pick of the bowlers for the hosts.

Earlier, riding on Samson’s hundred, India put on their seventh 200-plus total in T20Is in 2024, thus equalling their own record from 2023. Samson added 66 runs in just 5.5 overs with Suryakumar Yadav (21) and another 77 with Tilak Varma (33) in 5.4 overs.

However, once Samson was dismissed, India could manage only 35 runs in the last five overs, which could cost them dearly in the long run. Both teams now head to St George’s Park in Gqeberha for the second game on Sunday.
