Lucknow Super Giants batsmen failed

Lucknow Super Giants team, which came to bat first after losing the toss, collapsed like a house of cards.

Lucknow’s batting completely failed and the entire team was reduced to just 141 runs in 18.4 overs. The pitch of Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium may not have been easy for batting, but Lucknow’s performance was so weak that their batting looked completely ineffective.

South Africa has made two major changes in its team for the 2026 T20 World Cup.

The South African has not made changes in the squad after any reconsideration but has had to make changes due to injuries. Further changes in the squad are possible due to injuries.

Will David Miller also be out?

There is also increased concern in the South African camp regarding David Miller, who has not been able to represent the Paarl Royals team even in the eliminator match of SA20. Apart from him, Lungi Ngidi was also able to bowl half the overs for Pretoria Capitals in the first qualifier match against Sunrisers Eastern Cape. It is expected that Ngidi will be fit before the World Cup, but due to this, Otniel Bartman, who is the bowler taking the most wickets (17) in SA20 so far, may miss the World Cup.

South Africa’s updated squad: Aiden Markram (captain), Corbin Bosch, Dewald Brewis, Quinton de Kock, Marco Jansen, George Linde, Keshav Maharaj, Kwena Mfaka, David Miller, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada, Ryan Rickelton, Jason Smith, Tristan Stubbs.

Team India on the verge of shameful defeat

Chasing the target of 549 runs, the Indian team has lost 2 wickets and scored only 35 runs by the end of the fourth day’s play. Let us tell you that the biggest win by runs in Test against India is in the name of Australia, which defeated Team India by 342 runs in the year 2024. In this matter, South Africa can overtake Australia and come out ahead. That means South Africa can become the team to defeat India by the most runs.

India’s batting-bowling sub flop

In the Guwahati Test, the Indian team has been able to do well neither in batting nor in bowling. In the first innings, Indian bowlers had dismissed 6 South African batsmen for 246 runs. But after that the last 4 wickets of the African team scored 243 runs. As a result, South Africa’s first innings ended at 489 runs.

Chasing such a huge score, the first innings of the Indian team was reduced to 201 runs. The result was that South Africa gained a lead of 288 runs. The Indian bowlers had to ensure that South Africa bowled out the second innings cheaply, but they declared the second innings as per their wish by scoring 260 runs. Now, despite chasing the target of 549 runs, Team India has lost 2 wickets at the score of only 27.

The Guwahati Test is completely in the grip of South Africa. After gaining a lead of 288 runs in the first innings, South Africa declared its second innings at 260 runs. India now has a lofty target of 549 runs to draw the series. Tristan Stubbs scored the highest score of 94 runs for South Africa.

South Africa had scored 489 runs in its first innings, in response to which India was able to score only 201 runs. In this way, South Africa had gained a lead of 288 runs in the first innings and now by scoring 260 runs, it has given the target of 549 runs to Team India.

Tristan Stubbs missed a century

Tristan Stubbs was out after scoring 94 runs in 190 balls with the help of 9 fours and one six. As soon as he was out, South African captain Temba Bavuma declared the innings. India’s only success in the second session was in the form of Tony DiGeorge, who was out after scoring 49 runs. For India, Ravindra Jadeja took three wickets and Washington Sundar took one wicket.

South Africa’s main objective during the first two sessions was to ensure that India could not achieve the target in the fourth innings. Indian spinners were getting turn in the first session, but Georgi and Stubbs troubled the spinners by making a partnership of 101 runs in the second session. Stubbs and Georgie hit many sweep shots against the Indian spinners. Jadeja did not allow Georgi to complete his half-century by giving him out LBW.

Batting will not be easy in the fourth innings

After a certain time, it seemed from the expressions of the Indian fielders that they were waiting for the second session to end, after which the innings was expected to be declared. The way Jadeja and Washington are getting turn can be a matter of concern for the Indian batsmen. The pitch is now cracking and is likely to crack further as the game progresses, making it difficult for India to bat in the fourth innings.

For South Africa, openers Ryan Rickleton (35 runs on 64 balls) and Aiden Markram (29 runs on 84 balls) once again made a half-century partnership, but Jadeja dismissed both of them. Washington then dismissed captain Temba Bavuma (03), whose bouncing ball kissed the batsman’s gloves and went into the safe hands of Nitish Kumar Reddy standing in the leg slip. Whereas Viaan Mulder returned unbeaten after scoring 35 runs in 69 balls with the help of five fours.
