IND vs SA | The first match of the three-match T20 series between India and South Africa is being played at the Greenfield International Cricket Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram today. India won the toss and decided to bowl first. In response, South Africa made their worst start so far in T20 International cricket. The visiting team has lost its five wickets within 9 runs. In these five wickets, four South African batsmen could not even open their account.

In the very first over of the Indian innings, Deepak Chahar gave India the first breakthrough by bowling captain Temba Bavuma. After this, in the next over, Arshdeep Singh got three successes in a single over by sending Aiden Markram, Riley Russo and David Miller to the pavilion in his second over.

In this way, half of Africa's team returned to the pavilion within 9 runs. In these five wickets, Arshdeep took three and Deepak Chahar took two wickets.

South Africa's embarrassing record

With this, a shameful record has been registered in the name of South Africa. The African team has lost its five wickets at the lowest score. Earlier, he had lost his five-wicket haul within 10 runs against West Indies at Port Elizabeth in 2007.

Earlier, India won the toss and decided to bowl first. Hardik and Bhuvneshwar have been rested. Ashwin will replace Yuzi and Bumrah suffered a minor injury in the morning and will not play in this match. After a successful campaign ahead of the World Cup beating Australia 2-1 in the three-match T20I series, the Rohit-led side are now taking on South Africa. South Africa have never lost a T20I series in India, but Rohit's team would like to end the series after beating the Kangaroos 2-1.
