Tilak Varma's fantastic maiden T20I hundred was the fulcrum of India's narrow 11-run win over South Africa in the third match at Centurion on Wednesday. India now has a 2-1 lead in the four-match series. Abhishek (50, 25b, 3×4, 5×6) and Tilak (107 not out, 56b, 8×4, 7×6) took India to a huge 219 for six. Tilak completed his first hundred in T20Is off just 51 balls. South Africa was not really in the chase, despite Heinrich Klaasen (41, 22b, 1×4, 4×6) and Marco Jansen (54, 17b, 4×4, 5×6) making their valiant efforts. SA were restricted to 208 for seven.
