Right then, the first game of the five-match T20I series is done and the visitors have the early lead. Still, a long way to go but the next game is pretty important as one team will have the chance to get closer to the series win while the other can level the series. The 2nd T20I will be played on Sunday, the 12th of June at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack. That match will begin at 7 pm IST (1.30 pm GMT) but our build-up will begin much sooner. Do join us then. Take care and goodbye!
David Miller (64* off 31 balls) is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his match-winning innings! Miller says he has been working hard the last 4-5 years and understands the game well now. Adds that the chat was to hang in there, he was hitting well while Rassie was struggling so they tried to limit the dots and hit the loose balls. Shares that he has been around for quite some time and it gives him good confidence now. Mentions that wherever the team wants him to bat, he is happy to help and make a difference.
Temba Bavuma, captain of South Africa says that they expected the wicket to get better at night and it did happen. Adds that the way Ishan Kishan batted, he made it look very easy and put their spinners under pressure and with the left-hand, right-hand combination it was difficult to bowl at them. Goes on to applaud Rassie and Miller for their efforts and mentions that they need to execute their plans a bit better while bowling and it may seem overly critical but that's what makes a difference. Says that Miller is a powerhouse and Rassie is a different player, he backs himself to hit the ball well after taking a bit of time and is happy with their efforts. Ends by saying that yes it is hot but it's about preparing for the game.
Indian skipper, Rishabh Pant says that they had enough runs on the board but feels that they were off the ball and says David Miller and Rassie van der Dussen played brilliantly. Feels that the wicket got better in the second half and tells next time they will do better to execute their plans with the ball.
Presentation ceremony...
Man of the moment, Rassie van der Dussen is up for a quick chat. He says he feels good, they had a good preparation. Adds the wicket was sticky but David Miller helped him a lot. Adds that he was a few boundaries away, the intent was clear and he just needed to hit a few out of the middle to get away. He sometimes take 30-40 balls and that is his gameplan that has worked for him in the last few years,and the management trust him as well. Informs Avesh Khan put him under a lot of pressure but Miller helped him from the other end. Shares that they had clear instructions and Dwaine Pretorius gave a great start. The key was not to panic and hang in there. Ends by saying, sometimes the strangest things that make a difference, seems like the game turned when he changed his bat.
Earlier in the game, India were inserted into bat and after a quick-fire start, Ishan Kishan went on to score big to lay down the foundation for a big total. Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant and especially Hardik Pandya played blistering cameos to take the final total to 211. The South African spinners were mostly inefficient but Keshav Maharaj did bowl well and picked up an important wicket. The pacers too had a mixed day but were good in patches of the game. The visitors need to go hard from the start to chase down the score and Dwaine Pretorius gave them the best start possible even after losing a wicket early in the Powerplay. After a sedate start, Rassie van der Dussen was able to change the momentum of his innings and along with David Miller made the chase look pretty straightforward in the end. Let's now head over for a few interviews...
At the halfway mark, Ishan Kishan mentioned that 150 might have been a par score on this pitch and India would have been confident of defending the total. But given the dimensions of the ground and how the game works nowadays, no total is big enough and the Indian bowlers learned it the hard way. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was very good inside the Powerplay but whoever came on got hit. It was then Harshal Patel who turned the tide with the wicket of Dwaine Pretorius and after that Axar Patel and the others were able to keep a lid on the runs. Avesh Khan was expensive in his first over but bowled well when he came back on. Bhuvi and Harshal just didn't have an answer at the death for the well-set batters and Shreyas Iyer's dropped catch of Rassie when he was going nowhere might have been the turning point.
The visitors have had a night to remember here in Delhi. With 212 needed to win, no one would have expected that they would be able to chase it down. But they had the experience and it showed in the most important moments of the game. After a quick start, skipper Temba Bavuma fell early. Dwaine Pretorius was sent in as a pinch-hitter and it worked wonders for South Africa inside the Powerplay. Once he was dismissed though, Quinton de Kock too fell. Rassie van der Dussen wasn't able to get going at all but David Miller did get a good start at the other end which just kept the visitors in the game. Rassie van der Dussen came alive though when it mattered the most and just smoked the bowlers to all parts in the last few overs. Both batters surpassed their individual fifties and put on a mammoth partnership of 131 runs to win the match for their team.
Sensational, sensational stuff from South Africa and there will be no lucky 13 for India as they fall short of the record! The visitors have pulled off a miraculous chase and have gone 1-0 up in the five-match T20I series. The crowd inside the stadium and the Indian team have been stunned.

Harshal Patel To Rassie van der Dussen
TWO LEG BYES! NOT OUT! Patel serves a low dipping full toss on middle and leg. Rassie van der Dussen steps down and across to slog-sweep it but misses and gets rapped on the pads. An appeal for LBW but nothing given. Patel convinces Pant to take it upstairs and Ball Tracking shows the batter came well out and also the impact was outside off.
A huge, huge appeal from the bowler for lbw but the umpire remains unmoved. At this stage, Rishabh Pant just has to go for the review and does just that. The third umpire checks UltraEdge first and there's no spike on it. The impact is deemed as umpire's call, just outside off and beyond 2 meters as well. So, the on-field decision stands and South Africa can breathe a sigh of relief.

Axar Patel sees Rassie van der Dussen advancing and floats it up down the leg side. Van der Dussen is able to clip it away past square leg for a single.
DRINKS! South Africa require 126 off 60 balls and it's a tough ask for them at the moment. Since the Powerplay, the Indian bowlers have been able to keep a lid on the boundaries and are currently on top of proceedings. Rassie van der Dussen has seen quite a few deliveries and will soon have to go hard but certainly, David Miller holds the key for South Africa if they are to win this one. Harshal Patel and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have been brilliant but the former has injured his bowling hand. How much will that impact the game, we shall find out soon.

Axar Patel To Quinton de Kock OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! The pressure was building and Quinton de Kock tries to go big on this occasion but holes one out. Good bowling from Patel! Serves a slow, flighted full ball on off. Quinton de Kock tries to slog-sweep but does not get much elevation. Hits it flat and Ishan Kishan at deep square leg adjusts himself nicely to catch it. 131 needed in 68 balls.

Axar Patel comes in to replace Hardik Pandya. Also, it is seen that Harshal Patel is off the field and is receiving some treatment from the physio. He seems to have a split webbing on his bowling hand and it is an injury we see a lot of bowlers having. Hopefully, he will be back on the field soon.

Dwaine Pretorius fails to read the off-pace delivery and swings across too early. He misses and the ball hits the off pole. Dwaine Pretorius goes after a quick cameo.

Length, around the top of middle and just nipping in a touch. Dwaine Pretorius looks to flick it off the back foot but gets pinged high on the pads. A stifled appeal from Bhuvi but just a bit too high.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar To Temba Bavuma OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Indecisive from Temba Bavuma and he has to depart. It's the outswinger this time from Bhuvi, on a nagging length and outside off. Bavuma prods forward and doesn't drive at it, rather just has a poke at it. The ball takes the outside edge and Rishabh Pant takes a good catch diving forward. The catch is being checked though and there's a clear spike on UltraEdge and there's no problem with it bouncing in front of Pant, so Bavuma has to walk back and South Africa lose their first wicket.
