A statement-making maiden ODI century from Sanju Samson, followed by a tidy bowling partnership between Arshdeep Singh and Washington Sundar sealed the three-match ODI series in India’s favour, as the visitors won by 78 runs against South Africa at Boland Park last night.
Samson’s first century in India colours lifted the team to a strong 296 for 8 in the first innings, but the total seemed within reach of South Africa while Tony de Zorzi batted.
He crunched 81 in 87 balls to keep the hosts on course.
He smacked six fours and three sixes before Arshdeep’s yorker ended his stay in the 30th over.
Arshdeep, who dis-missed Hendricks with the new ball and then Keshav Maharaj and Lizaad Williams in his final spell, finished with 4 for 30 after a clinical bowling display. — CricInfo
