— AHMEDABAD, India (AP) — India won the Twenty20 series from South Africa 3-1 after taking the last match by a comfortable 30 runs on Friday. Second fifties in the five-match series by Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya powered India to 231-5. India earned an eighth consecutive T20 series triumph since December 2023. It hosts New Zealand in January for one last T20 series before co-hosting the men's T20 World Cup with Sri Lanka in February. Then Bumrah ruined the Proteas' hopes of squaring the T20 series after winning the test series and losing the one-day international series.
