India Force Proteas Out Fast
Prasidh Krishna ripped through South Africa with a spell that set the tone, claiming four wickets and dismantling the top order before momentum could form. His early breakthroughs exposed the middle order immediately and forced the Proteas into survival mode. Quinton de Kock attempted to pull the innings back with a superb 106, striking cleanly and reading the spinners well, but lacked meaningful support around him. Even his counterattack could not fully steady a side constantly losing ground. South Africa’s innings ended as a contrast between de Kock’s class and a collapse shaped almost entirely by Prasidh’s relentless accuracy.
