Rossouw’s unbeaten ton powers South Africa to 227-3 against India

Rilee Rossouw’s unbeaten ton and Quinton de Kock’s half-century guided South Africa to a massive 227-3 in 20 overs against India at the Holkar Stadium in Indore on Tuesday.

India put South Africa into bat and soon got the first breakthrough.

Umesh Yadav dismissed Proteas skipper Temba Bavuma for three off eight balls with the visitors’ score at 30.

Quinton de Kock was then joined by Rossouw and the duo struck a partnership to take the team’s total beyond the 50-run mark in 6.2 overs.

The De Kock-Rossouw duo shifted gears to take team’s total triple-figure mark in just 10.1 overs, and in the process, the wicket-keeper batter notched up his half-century off 33 balls.

The 90-run partnership was broken when Shreyas Iyer ran out De Kock for 68 off 43 balls.

Despite losing his partner, Rossouw carried on and scored his fifty off just 27 balls and took his team’s total beyond the 150-run mark in 14.4 overs.

Tristan Stubbs then joined 32-year-old Rossouw and the duo together notched up fifty runs in 26 balls. The visitors went past the 200-run mark in just 18.4 overs.

Rossouw-Stubbs went on to score 87 runs for the third wicket. Deepak Chahar broke the partnership dismissing Stubbs for 23.
