Twenty20 - India

India beat South Africa in its 1st ever Twenty20 international Match.

Dinesh Karthik hit a last over six as India beat South Africa by six wickets in its first ever Twenty20 international at the Wanderers on Friday night.
India needed nine runs off the last over when Karthik (31 not out) pulled spinner Robin Peterson over mid-wicket for a six to virtually seal a thrilling victory. He then hit the winning run with a ball to spare to lift the sagging spirits of the struggling team.
India scored 127 for four in 19.5 overs after restricting South Africa, who opted to bat, to a modest 126 for nine.
