That is it from this game. South Africa take the lead in the three-match series. We move to Ranchi for the 2nd ODI. That match is on the 9th of this month and will start at 1.30 pm IST (8 am GMT). Do join us for the build up. Goodbye!
Heinrich Klaasen is the Player of the Match. He says it was not easy to bat but his experienced and practice helped him. Adds he enjoys batting aginst India but he is happy to win for the team
Temba Bavuma, the skipper of South Africa says it got tight in the end but they stuck to the plans. Adds the pitch was tricky to bat on but David Miller and Heinrich Klaasen did really well. On the bowling, they did well at the start, they lost the momentum in the middle but end of the day they got the results.
...Presentation coming up...
Earlier in the day, after electing to bowl, India had South Africa in trouble at 3 down for not a lot but a superb 100-plus stand between David Miller and Heinrich Klaasen saw them get to the 250-run mark which proved to be enough.
For India, this innings was about two people, Sanju Samson and Shreyas Iyer. It is because of them India got as close as they did. Had the two not played, it could have been an embarrassing loss for the Indians as the top order failed miserably.
The early wickets and the controlled bowling earlier on did the job. The likes of Kagiso Rabada, Wayne Parnell, Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi really pushed India onto the back foot by taking 4 early on. Then there was a fightback from the Indians courtesy Iyer and Samson and then Samson and Thakur. Ngidi though did brilliantly towards the end as he got the important wickets at crucial times which helped his side get over the line.
A solid win in the end for South Africa and much-needed. It though got a lot closer than they would have liked but they'll be happy they held their nerve and managed to take a 1-0 lead in the series. Sanju Samson played a wonderful innings but it went in vain. It could have been a lot more different if he took the strike in the 19th over.
