Well, it was definitely not the news that we wanted to hear in the final phase of World T20 preparation of team India but we are happy that at least India has one point on its side.
Earlier, in the field of Lalbhai Contractor Stadium, Surat, team India under the captain Harmanpreet Kaur came out with flying colours. The audience also witnessed the extraordinary performance of Indian all-rounder Deepti Sharma who took three wickets in 18 balls and India took a lead of 1-0 against South Africa.

This T20I series is quite special as it is the first match post-Mithali Raj era. The legendary player earlier took retirement from the shortest format of cricket. Apart from Mithali’s retirement move, Shafali Verma, a 15-year-old girl made her debut in the International Cricket career.
What a moment this is for the hard-hitting batter Shafali Verma, who makes her India debut today. She is only 15! 😊💪🏾#INDWvsSAW pic.twitter.com/nD0C6ApQld
