Indian bowlers found their wings in the valleys of Dharamshala… a perfect combination of swing and seam was on display, Arshdeep and Harshit became the game-changers

Desk: In the second T20 match against South Africa played in Mullanpur, both bowling and batting proved to be weaknesses for the Indian team. Now, on Sunday (December 14), at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala, the Indian bowlers showcased their full potential and made the team’s victory easy.

With a resounding 7-wicket victory over South Africa, India not only took a 2-1 lead in the five-match series but also proved that the 51-run defeat in Mullanpur was merely an anomaly. The world’s number one T20 team showed that it will not be easy to stop them from winning the title in the upcoming World Cup. The ICC T20 World Cup 2026 is scheduled to be held in February-March, jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka.

Due to light snowfall on the Dhauladhar peaks, the temperature had dropped considerably, making the weather in Dharamshala unusual for T20 cricket. Usually, high-scoring matches are played on this ground, but the cold wind and balanced pitch created favorable conditions for the fast bowlers. Captain Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and invited the visiting team to bat first, and this decision proved to be absolutely correct.
