Shivam Dube continued his rich form with the India A team with another whirlwind innings to lead his side to a four-wicket victory against South Africa A. Dube smashed a 28-ball 45 not out, that included two fours and three sixes, to romp his side with 13 balls to spare. The Mumbai born left-hander hit two sixes and a four in three consecutive deliveries to seal India’s victory when 16 runs were needed from as many balls. This was the second time in three ODI matches against South Africa A that Dube guided India to victory from a tricky position and twitter couldn’t hold its breath after seeing the youngster’s performance. India A vs South Africa A: Manish Pandey, Shivam Dube Lead IND ‘A’ to 4-Wicket Win Over Proteas.

Dube had stepped into the crease when Nitish Rana was dismissed with 75 runs still to get from 61 deliveries. The talented 26-year-old first forged a partnership with skipper Manish Pandey before letting loose towards the end. India still needed 32 runs when Pandey was dismissed in the 25th over and soon Dube took charge to see off the strong Protea attack and give India A an inassimilable 3-0 lead in the unofficial ODI series.
