Dominant India crush SA to complete 3-0 whitewash

October 22, 2019 09:45

SA 133-all out (48 ovs) f/o & 162 vs India 497-9 | Scorecard

A huge confidence booster for Shahbaz Nadeem as he comes into the bowling from the other end.

He strikes in his first over of the day, as Nadeem gets him caught behind as the ball stays low but wicketkeeper Saha does well to stay low and take it cleanly.

It has taken India just 11 deliveries to strike on the fourth morning as they stand just one wicket away from the series whitewash.

Nadeem picks another one off the next delivery to end the match. Lungi Ngidi smashes the first ball he faces straight into non-striker Nortje and the rebound goes straight to Nadeem, who accepts an easy catch.

It took just 10 minutes for India to claim the remaining two South African wickets and finish off the contest.

Following on, South Africa are bowled out for 133 in their second innings to lose the match by an innings and 202 runs.

Shami took three wickets in the second innings, while Umesh and debutant Nadeem bagged two wickets each, while the spin duo of Jadeja and Ashwin claimed one apiece.

India win the three-match series 3-0 as they consolidate their top position in the ICC World Test Championship standings.
