- 00:29 (IST)India vs South Africa Live: OUT!Arshdeep Singh got the wicket of Heinrich Klaasen on the fourth ball of the over. Klaasen fell for 41 off 22 balls. Only 8 runs came off the over and the target now seems unrealistic for South Africa. They need 51 runs in 12 balls.SA 169/6 (18)
- 00:23 (IST)
- 00:15 (IST)India vs South Africa Live: Axar takes a blinder!That is a sensational catch from Axar Patel in the deep.

- 00:01 (IST)IND vs SA Live: An uphill task for South Africa!South Africa need 117 runs in 42 balls. The asking rate for them is over 16. Heinrich Klaasen is looking really good but South Africa need even David Miller to fire from the other end to stand a chance in this game.SA 103/4 (13)
- 23:51 (IST)IND vs SA Live: WICKET!Aiden Markram slammed Varun Chakaravarthy for two big sixes in the over but the Indian spinner had his man on the final delivery of the over.

- 23:45 (IST)IND vs SA Live: OUT!Another wicket for India and South Africa are in all sorts of trouble. Tristan Stubbs, the star for the Proteas from the previous game, departs for 12 off 12 balls. Stubbs went for a reverse sweep but missed it completely. He was caught plumb in front of the stumps and umpire raised his finger over the appeal. Stubbs went up for a review but ended up wasting it.

- 23:36 (IST)IND vs SA Live: Brilliant bowling fron Axar!Axar Patel was trusted and given a second over despite conceding 14 runs in his first over.

- 23:31 (IST)IND vs SA Live: OUT!Here is the much-needed wicket for India! They get the wicket of dangerous looking Reeza Hendricks. And guess, who provides it?

Sanju Samson did an easy stumping to provide India a second wicket.SA 47/2 (5.3)
- 23:19 (IST)IND vs SA Live: OUT!Arshdeep Singh has got his man. He has dismissed Ryan Rickelton, definitely not the way he would like to, but still a wicket is a wicket!

Rickelton, however, got an inside edge on the final delivery of the over and ended up playing it on his stumps.SA 27/1 (3)
- 23:15 (IST)IND vs SA Live: Catch dropped!Axar Patel, one of India's top fielders, dropped the catch of Ryan Rickelton on the fourth ball of the over.

- 22:41 (IST)India vs South Africa Live: The chase begins!Arshdeep Singh started the bowling for India. Reeza Hendricks swung hard and got a thick outside edge on the third delivery of the over. The ball flew over the gully to run away for a four. A total of 7 runs came off the over.SA 7/0 (1)
- 22:30 (IST)India vs South Africa Live: Tilak Varma after his century -"Incredible feeling to get this coming back from injury. The wicket was two-paced, and challenging at the start. After some time it went well. I was holding my shape while playing the shots. We both (him and Abhishek Sharma) were under pressure. Today's knocks are important for us. Our spinners are bowling well. 200-210 is what we were looking for and we got it. Hopefully we can defend this."
- 22:20 (IST)India vs South Africa Live: India post 219 for 6!Brilliant last over from Marco Jansen as he concedes only four runs in it despite centurion Tilak Varma playing three balls.

- 22:10 (IST)India vs South Africa Live: Century for Tilak Varma!A four and Tilak Varma races to his maiden T20I century with it. He gets there in 51 balls with the help of 8 fours and 6 sixes.

- 22:04 (IST)India vs South Africa Live: OUT!A slower ball from Andile Simelane and he has outfoxed Rinku Singh.

- 21:38 (IST)
- 21:35 (IST)

- 21:08 (IST)India vs South Africa Live: India on top!13 runs came off the Aiden Markram over. Lutho Sipamla and Marco Jansen are the most economical bowlers so far with an economy of 8.

- 21:02 (IST)India vs South Africa Live: End of powerplay!Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma have laid a solid platform for India.

- 20:50 (IST)India vs South Africa Live: Misfield there from Jansen!It was short of length from Lutho Sipamla and Tilak Varma adjusted well to put it on the leg side.

- 20:48 (IST)India vs South Africa Live: Stoppage in play!A Marco Jansen bouncer hit the helmet of Tilak Varma ran through fine leg for a four. It happened on the fourth ball of the over.
