However, he was soon overshadowed by the visitors, who chased the target 7 wickets to spare.India would have thought their total was safe, but JP Duminy shared a 105-run fourth-wicket partnership with Farhaan Behardien to see South Africa chase down 200 for only the second time in T20Is after AB de Villiers and Hashim Amla set them up with a 77-run opening stand.4. 211/6 - Australia (2022)Opening for his country for the first time in his career, Cameron Green, along with Matthew Wade, helped Australia hunt down 209 on a flat Mohali pitch to hold on to a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.At the time, it was also Australia’s second-highest successful chase in T20I cricket.ALSO READHighest Successful Run Chases In T20sThey made Jasprit Bumrah-less India pay for their lax fielding as they dropped at least three chances.
