South Africa v India Nov 8-Nov 15 2024 (4 T20s)

[NYRB]

Tilak Varma 50 up in 32 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Baseball into the crowd for 6 from Tilak. Might be the biggest one of tonight.

 

[NYRB]

89 metres

 

[NYRB]

Rinku hasnt found his mojo yet. 3 runs off 6 balls. As weird as it sounds, it might be better if he got out here and got the next sloggers in.

 

[NYRB]

Coetzee goes for his half ton

conceded 51 off 3.0 overs

 

[NYRB]

Make that Rinku 3 off 7 . He has struggled of all the Indian batsman today.

 

[NYRB]

India would much rather Tilak on strike with 4 overs to go here....

 

[NYRB]

Coetzee saves 2 runs there. How important could those runs be in the context of this game?

bomb from a 6.

 

[NYRB]

Rinku 4 off 9 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Something has to give with Rinku soon.

 

[NYRB]

If memory served me correctly, Rinku didnt set the world on fire in IPL 2024.

 

[NYRB]

This generation of Indian cricketers have no fear in this format. Its pretty much go gung-ho from the geto go.

 

[NYRB]

Can you drop Rinku before game 4? looks woefully out of touch. His 2s have been mistimed shots.

 

[NYRB]

Rinku 8 off 12 balls and we are in the 18th over ladies and gents.

 

[NYRB]

And that painful innings from Rinku is over.

Rinku bowled for 8 runs off 13 balls. Didnt time 1 off the bat in that innings.

 

[NYRB]

Ramandeep with a 6 first ball.

That wicket might not have been a good one for South Africa.

 

[NYRB]

Teams in my opinion need to be more tactical in this game. If a player is struggling to middle one, its better to keep them out there on a high scoring wicket.

 

[NYRB]

I even reckon Rinku was being selfish with his innings. Swing or get out ffs!


Ramandeep is showing how you should play as a pinch hitter. 12 runs off 3 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Rinku shouldnt be worried about playing for averages and stop the twirling with the bat

 

[NYRB]

Thats ton for Tilak!

100 off 51 balls

What an innings..................Absolute joy to watch that (PS: Im not even Indian too)

 

[NYRB]

India have played the extra batter today.

 

[NYRB]

India post 219/6 from their 20 overs.


And thats a very good collective effort with the bat.

South AFrica will do well to chase or within 15 runs of this target.

only lost by 11

 

[NYRB]

only lost by 11

I fell asleep in the chase. Fair play to South Africa for giving a fist of it, after i last saw them at 85/4.
