(Reuters) – India secured their second Twenty20 World Cup title with a dramatic seven-run win over South Africa yesterday, the result still in doubt at the start of the final over of an electrifying match.
South Africa required 16 runs to win after Heinrich Klaasen had put them firmly on course in reply to India’s 176 for seven by smashing 52 from 27 balls including five sixes.
David Miller hit the first ball, a full toss from Hardik Pandya, high down the ground but Suryakumar Yadav raced around the long-off boundary, knocked the ball into the air, toppled over the ropes and stepped back to complete a stunning catch.
