The Cape Town Test between South Africa and India created history on December 4 as it became the shortest match in the history of red-ball cricket. India won the match by seven wickets as the game concluded in just one and a half days. Jasprit Bumrah bagged a 6-wicket haul as India defeated South Africa by 7 wickets to win the 2nd Test. With the win, India also leveled the series 1-1.
“A fiery Jasprit Bumrah conjured up his third five-wicket haul in Tests in South Africa to help India to a win”, wrote ICC.
The second Test between India and South Africa in Cape Town concluded dramatically within just one and a half days on Thursday. A remarkable Indian collapse and a dominant performance by the Indian bowlers characterized the match. India, after bowling out South Africa for a paltry 55 runs in their first innings, found themselves in a strong position with a lead of nearly 100 runs.
Premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah bagged a match-changing six-wicket haul in the first session while South Africa’s Aiden Markram slammed a fighting century for the Proteas on Day 2 of the series decider at Newlands. With the Proteas all out for 176, Rohit Sharma and Co. chased down the 79-run target to thrash the hosts by 7 wickets at Newlands. India’s first-ever win at Cape Town has arrived in Dean Elgar’s farewell Test. India won the shortest completed Test match to level the series 1-1 on Thursday.
