In today's 1st T20 match of South Africa vs India team India came out to bat. So far India team has scored 111 runs for 2 wickets in 11 overs. Team India batsman Suryakumar Yadav is out for 21 runs from 17 balls. Abhishek Sharma is out for 7 runs from 8 balls. Sanju Samson scored 70 runs from 38 balls. South Africa team won the toss and decided to bowl. South Africa team is not doing well in the bowling line due to which India team batsmen are scoring so many runs.
To be honest I am still in shock how can Indian team bench such talented gem like Samson from a very long time, I have seen this guy performance in ipl and he is absolutely majestic rare talent and I believe in absence of Kohli and Rohit he will filled thier gap through his power hitting and captaincy skills. Anyway Samson played ordinary innings with ten huge sixes and more than six boundaries against quality south African pacer and thus scored a very impactful century through they put his team one step from his opponent while later some thier middle and lower middle order add his contribution and scored a very high target of more then 200 against south African which definitely execute huge pressure on them while Chase so thus due to some of thier mistake they lose important wicket very early which allow indian to be in game and thus they successfully won the match

There is no doubt that India is very experienced in the T format. India have found several T20 specialist batsmen for their squad. Those who are capable of excellent batting. Sanju Samson's innings today was impressive. Samson has batted at 200+ strike rate. And because of this one innings, the road to 200+ has become very easy for India. Indian batsmen were able to provide a big target of 203 runs.
Even after India set a big target, the match would have been very competitive if the South African batsmen had been able to bat well. From Marakar, Klaseen and Stubbs we haven't seen good batting. Heinrich Klaasen was able to collect the maximum 25 runs for South Africa. None of the South African batsmen were able to bat well against the Indian bowlers.

South Africa performed well against Bangladesh in the last Test series. However, the Bangladesh team was very weak in the Test format, so South Africa got a chance to make up for it and dominated and won both the matches. But South Africa have no chance of winning if they fail to perform well against India.
The South African team was defeated by a big margin in the first match of the series. The South African squad has several talented batsmen who are capable of batting well on the Indian pitch. We saw Miller, Marakram, Klaasen and Tristan Stubbs bat brilliantly in the last IPL. But they could not do well in today's match against India. As a result, the South African team lost by a big margin of 61 runs. There is no doubt that India will win this series.
After having an worst series the indian team is trying them to recover by this t20 format series. Before the starting of this match I have some doubt on their performance that how they will do in this series. But they didn't made any mistake on their batting in this time as they are currently playing good also on their bowing side.
India is a very strong team in T20 format. They have lost only 1 T20I match in this year after playing 23 matches. They have won four series and T20 world cup until now (in 2024). So, it won't be a wise decision to judge them in T20 by following the test series result. 3 more matches left in this series, but I hope SA will manage to win one or two matches out of these 3 matches.There is no doubt that India is very experienced in the T format.

India surely was the favourite even before the match. Sanju Samson scoring a 107 in 50 balls being a opener was the deal breaker for India. He had 10 sixes. Tilak Verma and Suryakumar Yadav's scoring helped India reach 202. That score even though not as rare now is a defendable score. South Africa chasing it started aggressive but kept losing wickets. There were some instance where they looked chasing the score but the required run rate kept on rising and wickets kept on falling and South Africa were all out at 141. There's 3 more T20I for this series and rest of the matches could be more competitive.
I bet on India to win. And India is going to win today's match.
Congratulations to both of you on winning the bet. Although India have not won the match yet, they will win very soon. South Africa needs around 74 runs in 4 overs and that is close to impossible. Also they have only 2 wickets left with them.It was always going to be a difficult chase for South Africa team and it turned out to be a complete failure for them. I could not see anyone looking to play throughout the innings and take the game close. Ryan Rickelton and Heinrich Klaasen had some 20+ runs scored but they lost their wickets. Gerald Coetzee played a good innings for the last wicket and 23 runs.
South Africa have played their last few series against Afghanistan, Ireland and Bangladesh. South Africa's performance against Afghanistan and Ireland was not good. However, South Africa performed very well in the Test series against Bangladesh. But this team still has weakness in T20 format.
With Sanju Samson's century, India set up a big target. And after giving such a big target, India was less likely to be defeated. India won by a huge margin of 61 runs. Despite having talented batsmen like Tristan Stubbs, Miller and Marakram in the South African squad, they did not perform well. South Africa's innings stopped at just 141 runs.
Yes, First T20 match is playing South Africa won the toss and decided to bowl first that a bad decision because South Africa are choked while chasing down a huge target and indian took benefits of this mistake scored a huge 200 plus runs total in batting first. India batting performance is very impressive especially Sanju Samson who scored back to back centuries in T20 format. Sanju Samson wicket keeper batsmen playing a outstanding inning scored a well deserved century 107 runs from just 50 balls only and reached the indian total to 200 plus runs against South Africa. South African bowlers disappointed performance only Gerald Coetzee show some fight by picking 3 important wickets by giving 37 runs. I think Its very difficult for South Africa to chase 203 runs but they have strong batting line lets what happened in this match.

Cureently, South African team score is only 135 after 17 over and they loose their 9 wicket. And now all clear that indian team is going to win this match.
the loading shits......
I managed to get 1.30 odds.

Total score exceeded 200 in the great batting of the Indian team. Sanju Samson's brilliant performance helped the team to score 202 . He managed to score 107 off 50 balls where he maintained a strike rate of over 200. On the other hand, team captain Suryakumar Yadav was not able to score big but Tilak Varma along with Sanju Samson managed to bat well. He managed to score 33 runs off 18 balls in a strike rate of 183. This is a big pressure for the South African team in this situation. Whether they can score as expected from India's bowlers is definitely in doubt. Since the target is big, South Africa must play accordingly but if they can make some progress in the first 6 overs then the pressure on the batsmen will be reduced which can be positive for them to win.
When you see India scoring above 200 runs in a T20 match, it is obvious that they should win this match and the probability of India winning should be more than 90%. However, bookies are still giving good odds for India. I managed to get 1.30 odds.
Also Indian team got the break through early as they were able to take the wicket of South African captain Aiden Markram and this further confirms that India would dominate in this match. This wicket was taken by Arshdeep Singh. Now a lot of responsibility on Ryan Rickelton and Tristan Stubbs, as these two batsmen have to play a big innings if South Africa wants to come anywhere near the target.
Yes amazing start of India team in 1 st game of T20 series with South Africa team and in game of 1 st T20, South Africa team won toss and elected to field first and in think they made wrong decision (right now game is still playing but South Africa looks in not good situation). Indian team showed great effort in 1 st turn and their turn was completed and they made 202 runs in target in 20 overs by losing 8 wickets. South Africa team lost their main wicket in 1 st over. Leader of South Africa team was dismissed and he made only 8 runs with hitting two 4s, he trying to play fast and grab big runs to low ball but unfortunately he failed. This moment Ryan and Stubbs both playing their bat turn lets see what happens in next. Sanju made a brilliant century and made a great century total he made 107 runs in 50 balls and hitted seven 4s and ten 6s. South Africa need mind blowing effort in batting if they need to win this game they to save their wickets and play fast.
India is very strong in T20 format. And today the Indian players did not disappoint me. I bet on India to win. And India is going to win today's match.
Indian batsmen got off to a great start. Especially Sanju Samson's innings of 107 off just 50 balls helped India to collect big. Tilak Verma also scored 33 runs off just 18 balls. The performance of the batsmen as well as the bowlers was very controlled in this match. Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi both took three wickets each. South Africa collected 114 runs in 15 overs losing 8 wickets.

There is no guarantee that it will remain that way for too long. Once the league gets established, then there is a chance that CSA will ask the franchises to implement race-based quotas in the playing XI.
~edited out~
I thought Indians were 15-20 runs short but defending 202 turned out to be a cakewalk.

South Africa Vs India
The first match of the four-match T20 series is scheduled to begin in about an hour. The Indian national team is visiting South Africa with a bitter experience after losing the Test series against New Zealand at home. But today, in the first match of the T20 series, India does not have any legendary players, that is, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are not in the squad with all these experienced players. Can the Indian squad with a bunch of young players really win the series against South Africa? But the young squad will surely perform well.

Yes, Indian batsman Sanju Samson is in great form. In the meantime, this great batsman of the Indian team has scored 100 runs in 47 balls and has written his name in the century. Sanju Samson is playing very comfortably, keeping the balls of the South African bowlers under his control. It is really a great pride for the fans of the Indian team to start the first match with a great start. In this match, it is estimated that the Indian team has the possibility of scoring 200+. Now let's see how many runs the Indian team gives to the South African team at the end of the first innings.First Gerald Coetzee took wicket of Abhishek Sharma on his first ball of this match, and then we have second wicket for the Patrick Kruge who bowled his first over of this match with 11 balls and took wicket of the Indian captain SKY on 11th ball of the over good start for the India as after end of 10 overs we have 99 runs and 200 is looking good target for them with Sanju Samson is still on crease with his aggressive batting 59 on 33 balls.
Gerald Coetzee was the best bowler for the South Africa as he took 3 wickets others have good punishment from Indian batting lineup now it's looking interesting we will have good batting from Proteas or Indian bowlers will be on control in this first game of the series.

We have seen a lot of improvement in India's game in today's match, especially the batting performance was very good. Sanju Samson's batting performance was unparalleled, which really captivated the audience. Everyone was happy to see his batting. Sanju Samson scored a great century by scoring 107 runs off 50 balls. However, the Indian batting line has performed well in today's match. In today's first T20 match, the Indian team has been able to give a target of 202 runs, however, this target is very big for the South African batsmen. However, I think that the Indian team is still the favorite to win today's match. If the Indian team cannot bowl well, then they will have to face challenges. So the Indian team must improve their bowling line in today's match, otherwise the South African batsmen will definitely be ready to bat well to win.
