While Maharaj then helped South Africa fight back somewhat in the middle overs, Tilak took them to the cleaners in the death. He brought up his century with a four off the fifth ball of the 19th over. He was ably helped by debutant Ramandeep Singh in the last few overs, with the all-rounder hitting a six off the very first ball that he faced in international cricket. Ramandeep was run out off the second last ball of the innings having scored 15 off six balls.(AP) expand-icon View Photos in a new improved layout
