IND vs SA: What happened when they last played T20?

India crushed South Africa by a massive 61 runs in the first T20I, taking a 1-0 lead in the four-match series. Earlier in the game, South Africa's skipper Aiden Markram opted to bat first.

Samson fired a blazing knock breaking multiple records, creating an enviable hundred off 47 balls, his second in consecutive games. He was supported by Suryakumar Yadav with 21 and Tilak Varma with 33. espite a flurry of late wickets, including 3 from Gerald Coetzee (3/37), India’s total proved to be out of reach. 

Chasing India's daunting total of 202/8, Arshdeep Singh got Markram with a well-directed early blow, and Avesh Khan got the big fish in Trident Stubbs. The spinners—Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi—then took over, claiming six between them, and broke the back of the South African chase. Avesh Khan delivered a pinpoint yorker to dismiss Keshav Maharaj and eventually South Africa were bowled out for 141 in reply.
