INDORE: For the second time in succession, India's bowlers went for over 200 in the T20I series against South Africa, which concluded on Tuesday with the hosts suffering a 49-run defeat in the third T20I at the Holkar Cricket Stadium here. As has been the trend in their last few T20I outings, India conceded 73 in the last 5 overs as the Proteas totalled 227-3 in 20 overs.
Even as he acknowledged that his team needed to "improve, get better" and "execute our plans better" in the death overs going into the T20 World Cup in Australia, India head coach Rahul Dravid defended his bowlers' poor show in the final overs, saying that "it's not been easy bowling in the death on very flat wickets" during the home T20I series against Australia and South Africa.
