6.3 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! That is a screamer of a catch from Marco Jansen. Lutho just rolls his fingers a bit on the leather and hurls out a length ball, on the leg stump line. It lands and just kicks up a bit. Abhishek Sharma gets on the back foot and tries to flick it but the ball gets big on him. It lobs behind to the left of deep fine leg where Marco Jansen dives to his left and takes a blinder. Abhishek Sharma looks at the heavens as he departs on 17 (12) and India are 48/3. 48/3

|
0.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Excellent adjustment from Lungi Ngidi and South Africa have an early wicket here. Ngid goes a bit fuller and much straighter at the stumps. Shubman Gill gives him the charge but the ball stops on him and Gill ends up mistiming the lofted shot over the right of mid off. Marco Jansen over there runs back a bit and takes a fairly comfortable catch and Gill has to depart for just 4 (2). 5/1

| Suryakumar Yadav C | 12 | 11 | 1 | 1 | 109.09 |
|
2.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Lungi Ngidi gets the last laugh and India are already 2 down. Good correction once again from Ngidi as he goes a touch fuller and on off stump. Suryakumar Yadav looks to pick this one over the leg side as well, but the ball doesn't quite come on, and he ends up slicing it up over the bowler's head. Aiden Markram at mid on takes a couple of steps to his left and reverse-cups it with ease. SKY goes for 12 (11) and India are 17/2. 17/2

| Tilak Varma | 26 | 32 | 2 | 1 | 81.25 |
|
11.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Oh, that could have gone all wrong but Marco Jansen has done well in the end. Lungi Ngidi bowls a slower bumper over leg stump and tries to cramp up the batter. Tilak Varma leans back and gets inside the line to pull, but fails to control it and the ball travels flat towards fine leg. Marco Jansen nearly loses it in the lights and just about pouches it to his right and also manages to keep his feet inside the ropes. The umpires have sent it upstairs to check for a fair catch. The replays roll in, and it is quickly confirmed that Jansen took a fair catch and Varma has to walk back. A timely wicket for South Africa. Number 3 for Lungi Ngidi. Tilak Varma departs on 26 (32) and India are 78/4. 78/4

| Axar Patel | 23 | 21 | 0 | 1 | 109.52 |
|
14 OUT! CAUGHT! Lutho Sipamla reigns victorious in his battle against Axar Patel and once again, a wicket falls right after a boundary. Sipamla bowls it back of a length and angles across off, Patel gets up on his toes and looks to cut it over point. However, the extra bounce means Axar fails to control the shot and ends up hitting it straight to Donovan Ferreira at point, and he takes a simple catch. India are 5 down now for 104. 104/5

17.1 OUT! BOWLED! The gamble to bring spin back on has paid off instantly for the Proteas. Donovan Ferreira comes from around the stumps and darts in a fractionally fuller delivery, keeping the line of attack onto the stumps. The ball drifts in and skids low from the surface. Shivam Dube clears his front leg and tries to pull it over mid-wicket but the ball stays low to beat the inside edge. It then makes an absolute mess of the middle stump. Shivam Dube departs on 11 (9) and India are 137/6. 137/6

0.2 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Arshdeep Singh strikes and strikes big in the very first over. He gets the ball to curve away from the batter nicely, on a fuller length, outside off. Quinton de Kock gets on the front foot again and pushes at it with hard hands. Just manages a thick outside edge which flies flat towards the second slip. Abhishek Sharma crouches a bit and takes it with a reverse cup in front of his face. The Proteas are rocked early as they are 0/1. Quinton de Kock departs on a two-baller. 0/1

| Aiden Markram C | 14 | 14 | 1 | 1 | 100 |

5.1 OUT! BOWLED'EM! A wicket on the very first ball for Axar Patel and South Africa lose a third wicket inside the Powerplay. On a fullish length on off and middle, and this one slides on with the arm. Aiden Markram goes back to a delivery that should have been played off the front foot and ends up playing all around it. The ball clips the back leg and crashes into the leg stump and the Proteas skipper has to depart for a run-a-ball 14. 40/3

| Tristan Stubbs | 14 | 9 | 2 | 0 | 155.55 |

2.3 OUT! TAKEN! Arshdeep Singh continues to weave his magic inside the Powerplay. On a back of a length, slightly nipping back into the batter. Tristan Stubbs drags the bat in front to push it straight, and the ball goes off something towards the keeper. It dips low in front of Jitesh, but the keeper dives forward to gather it in his mitts. But has Stubbs even nicked it? Or has Jitesh taken it cleanly? Too many questions. The Indians are celebrating but Stubbs is going nowhere. The umpire shakes his head on the appeal for caught behind, and Suryakumar Yadav has sent it upstairs for a review. There is a clear spike when the ball is next to the inside edge on the UltraEdge. The ball also grazes Stubbs' elbow on its way after that. Now, the third umpire checks the legality of the catch and confirms that Jitesh Sharma has just managed to scoop the ball cleanly before the grass. Tristan Stubbs has to walk off. 14 (9) for him and the South Africans lose their second wicket with just 16 on the board. 16/2

| Dewald Brevis | 22 | 14 | 3 | 1 | 157.14 |
|
10.2 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! T20I wicket number 100 for Jasprit Bumrah. He becomes the only second bowler after Arshdeep Singh to achieve this feat. Okay, hang on, the third umpire is checking whether Bumrah has overstepped or not. Brevis is already into the dugout, and it looked like a touch-and-go to be very honest, but it is deemed a fair delivery by the third umpire. Coming to the ball, Bumrah bangs it short and keeps it outside off. Dewald Brevis slashes hard from the crease and tries to hoick it over the leg side, but the ball gets big on him and he ends up slicing it over cover. Suryakumar Yadav settles under it by moving a bit to his left and takes a fine catch. 68/7

6.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Two noises and one of them was indeed of the inside edge and Hardik Pandya picks up wicket number 99 in T20Is. Pandya serves the ball full of a good length and pitches it on off, David Miller walks down the pitch and looks to clip it leg side but gets an inside edge. The ball then goes off the thigh pad and behind to the keeper as Jitesh Sharma dives in front and takes a fine catch. The on-field umpires do go upstairs to check and there is a big deflection, also confirmed by UltraEdge and the catch is cleanly as well. South Africa in a bit of a rut here at 45 for 4 as Miller departs for just 1 (3). 45/4

| Donovan Ferreira | 5 | 7 | 1 | 0 | 71.42 |
|
7.2 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Excellent glove work from Jitesh Sharma yet again and Varun Chakaravarthy gets a wicket on his return to the attack. This is bowled short and a tad outside off, there to be hit as this one goes straight on. Donovan Ferreira looks to cut hard and gets undone by the slight extra bounce on offer. The outside edge is found and Jitesh takes a sharp catch just to his right. South Africa have lost half their side now for just 50 runs. Replays show that the ball actually came off the gloves of Ferreira. 50/5

9.5 OUT! TIMBER! Instant revenge for Varun Chakaravarthy and Marco Jansen cannot believe it. A bit wrong'un from Varun, a tad fuller than the last one and outside off. The ball comes back in sharply as Jansen looks to rock back and punch it through the off side. However, he is beaten all ends up and the ball goes on to hit the top of off stump. Jansen departs after a couple of lusty blows and South Africa are now 6 down for just 68 runs. 68/6

10.5 OUT! EDGED AND CAUGHT BEHIND! It is Bumrah again. A well-directed short ball, aimed at the bodyline of the batter. Keshav Maharaj is rushed into the pull shot, but the ball deflects off the glove and lobs back to the left of the keeper. Jitesh Sharma, who has been absolutely spot-on behind the stumps this evening, makes no mistakes and gathers it safely in his gloves. South Africa are 70/8 and are staring a crushing defeat now. 70/8

11.2 OUT! OUTFOXED! Axar gets his second wicket, and that's a perfect way to dismiss a tailender. Dishes out an arm ball, on a fuller length, sliding into the stumps with a good bit of drift. Anrich Nortje is sucked onto the front foot and tries to push it to the cover region, but plays over the wrong line and gets beaten on the inside edge as the ball crashes into the stumps behind. Anrich Nortje goes for 1 (3) and the Proteas are 72/9. 72/9

Dube bangs it in on a hard length and bowls it around off. Lutho Sipamla hangs back again, looking to pull, but only manages to get it off the cue end of the bat. The ball ends up going towards a wide first slip, where Abhishek Sharma takes a simple catch. India seal a commanding victory by 101 runs! 74/10
