Hardik Pandya India vs South Africa: Two matches have been played so far in the four-match T20 series between India and South Africa. The Indian team took the lead by winning the first match of the series, but in the second match, South Africa staged a brilliant comeback to level the series. Meanwhile, the Indian team was on the verge of victory at one point, but Hardik Pandya made a mistake that later proved costly. There is now a discussion on social media about why Hardik did this last time. Now India has to win both the remaining matches of the series, only then the series can be won.
Suryakumar Yadav lost the toss in both the T20 series matches against South Africa. After this India had to bat first. In the first match, India scored more than 200 runs by batting first and won the match, but it stalled in the second match. In the second match, Team India was behind from the start. After the dismissal of Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma, the score was not high, but still it was believed that the Indian team would score at least 150 runs. But this could not happen. Hardik Pandya was also behind it.
Team India had a chance to reach the score of 150.
In fact, till 18 overs, Team India scored 115 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. Two overs left and Arshdeep Singh was at the crease with Hardik Pandya. With 12 balls to go, it was hoped that Hardik would show his talent in the remaining overs. Arshdeep also took a single off the second ball of the 19th over and gave Hardik a strike. Before playing the third ball of the over, Hardik also told Arshdeep to stand at the other end and enjoy the match.
Only 6 runs were scored in the last over
Hardik could not hit a single boundary in the four balls he bowled in that over. After this, if Hardik had hit four-five boundaries in the last i.e. 20th over, the job would have been done. But Hardik hit just one four off the last ball of the innings. Meanwhile, his two catches also fell in this over. After playing the entire over i.e. 6 balls, only 6 runs were scored in this over and Team India missed out on making a big score. The Indian team could score only 124 runs and South Africa won the match with one over to spare.
