The Indian team's problem of looting runs in the 19th over is not taking the name of the end. The 19th over is considered crucial in any run chase. Most of the time it is this over that decides which team's favor is going to go in the match. Asia Cup started in 2022, but India has not got the solution even in the ongoing series against South Africa. During the second T20 played in Guwahati, this time Arshdeep Singh bowled the 19th over and conceded a total of 26 runs with two sixes and as many fours, during which he also bowled a no-ball.Let's know-how was his over-
Arshdeep bowled a no-ball to David Miller in the very first ball of the over, on which Miller took a run. Quinton de Kock could not take advantage of the second free hit ball and he took a run and gave the strike back to Miller. On the third ball, he hit a six in the direction of deep mid-wicket, while on the fourth ball he scored four runs in the direction of backward point. Miller did not stop here, he made the over big by hitting a six off the last ball with a four off the fifth ball. Arshdeep conceded 62 runs in the quota of 4 overs with 26 runs from this over. This is the most runs scored by any Indian fast bowler in T20 cricket.
20 runs in the 20th over
Miller and Quinton de Kock's show continued in the 20th over as well. Left-arm off-spinner Axar Patel was bowling the over. Miller completed his century by hitting back-to-back sixes in his second and third balls. This was the second century of his T20I career. After this, Quinton de Kock ended the match by hitting a six off the last ball of Axar. Chasing the target of 238 runs, South Africa could only manage 221 runs in the allotted 20 overs for the loss of 3 wickets. Miller scored an unbeaten 106 and Quinton de Kock scored 69 *.
Batting first, India had set a huge target of 238 runs in front of South Africa with the help of half-centuries from KL Rahul (57) and Suryakumar Yadav (61). During this, Virat Kohli also played an unbeaten inning of 49 runs.
