Right then, this should be a routine run-chase for a star-studded India batting lineup even more so now that the pitch seems to have eased out a bit. They will want to get of to a good start to prevent any jitters in the dressing room. South Africa have their back against the wall and will have to come out punching hard. They will need early wickets if they are to have any chance of staging a comeback. Will India chase this down on a canter? Or will South Africa fight back? We will find out in the run chase soon.

South Africa got off to a nightmarish start losing 5 batters in the first three overs. Four of them were dismissed on a duck with three suffering golden ducks. Aiden Markram seemed like he was playing on a different pitch though as he showed a remarkable array of strokeplay. He along with Wayne Parnell played well to halt the decline but could not go on to make big scores. It was Keshav Maharaj who proved to be the saving grace as he scored 41 of 35 balls to push the team's total beyond the 100-run mark. The pitch was always going to be difficult at the start of the innings and they failed miserably to negotiate the swing which probably will cost them the game.

India came onto the field all guns blazing and exploited the early conditions to the best of their abilities. Arshdeep Singh and Deepak Chahar got the ball to move viciously and took 3 and 2 wickets respectively to have South Africa crawling at 5 for 9. Once the movement began to settle and the bowling changes occurred the wickets dried out for a bit with Harshal Patel and Axar Patel chipping in with a wicket each through the middle overs. They would have liked to wrap up the tail sooner but will be thrilled about restricting their opponents to an under-par score. They once again struggled with their death bowling as the penultimate over went for 17 runs. Arshadeep ended with three wickets with Chahar and Harshal chipping in with two each but Ravichandran Ashwin deserves a special mention as he bowled four over for just 8 runs.

Harshal has bowled an outstanding last over! India have surprisingly not been able to bowl out their opponents here after the start they got. They will be happy with their effort though with just 106 runs on the boards and they will be silently confident of chasing down this target. South Africa have done well to recover from the early collapse to put up a total that they can bowl at. They will have their task cut out when they return to bowl as the pitch has gotten considerably easier as the game has progressed.
