India vs South Africa match live score:
India vs South Africa, Test 1, Day 4 Live Score: India set a tight 305-run goal for property manager South Africa to win the first test after their second inning was handed out in a 174-run post-lunch session during the fourth match day here on Wednesday. Wicketkeeper strike Rishabh Pant scored the best goal for India in the second inning at run-a-ball 34, as no away team striker was able to score in half a century. Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen each took four places, while Lungi Ngidi got two cards for South Africa.
Earlier, India lost and gained control of the first test on Tuesday, recovering from seven doors in 55 runs and beating South Africa by 197 points on the third day. This gave Virat Kohl the lead in the first pair of 130 runs. It had stretched it to 146, reaching 16/1 in the second set of positions on the day 18 cards fell – all for fast bowlers – and no fan was allowed to be there to watch it because of Covid-19.
The entire second test day had been lost to rain, but the match had still progressed rapidly after the third day extended at Centurion to make up for lost time and overs. At the end of it, India was in the lead in the series, which could give the top-ranked test team the impetus for the long-awaited first victory in the test series in South Africa.
