SA vs IND: Getting 30-40 Runs In The First Hour Led SA To Victory, Believes Mark Boucher
South Africa head coach Mark Boucher said getting 30 to 40 runs in the first hour of day four in the series-deciding Test against India was exactly the start his side needed to win the match and series. Keegan Petersen's 82 and unbeaten 57-run partnership between Temba Bavuma and Rassie van der Dussen helped South Africa script a come-from-behind 2-1 series win.
"Getting 30-40 runs in the first hour was exactly what we needed. I liked the intensity guys batted and capitalising on loose opportunities. We saw this in the second Test as well as here that when you start getting 250-260 runs required, it becomes difficult as a bowling unit to slow the game down. So that really went according to the plan today. It was a tense day but a day the guys will remember that's how to win in tough situations, not in just this Test match but last Test match as well," said Boucher in the post-match press conference.
