Arshdeep Singh bowls this on a good length and slightly wide outside the off stump, Quinton de Kock looks to cut this but gets an inside edge that goes on to break the timber. Further says that this series is very important, different conditions as compared to Australia, but this is a good opportunity and they feel good to be back in action after a couple of months. Arshdeep Singh goes full this time and outside the off stump, Aiden Markram gets his front foot forward and crunches this to deep cover for a cracking boundary. The ball nips back in sharply and squeezes between the gap between bat and pad to shatter the stumps. We are done with the pre-match formalities and we are ready for action to get underway! This is bowled on a good length and wide outside the off pole, Tristan Stubbs is down the wicket and slashes wildly at the ball. He serves this on a good length and just outside off, Temba Bavuma looks to play at this away from his body. The ball sneaks in through the gap between the bat and the pad and goes on to knock the stumps over. Strays down leg side now on a fuller length, Aiden Markram misses his flick and the ball swings late. Deepak Chahar goes full and outside off, Aiden Markram strokes this to deep cover for a much-needed boundary. Arshdeep Singh bowls this full and Aiden Markram times this wonderfully towards the deep square leg fence for four runs. This is on the pads and put away crisply!

India XI: 1 Rohit Sharma (capt), 2 KL Rahul, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Suryakumar Yadav, 5 Rishabh Pant, 6 Dinesh Karthik (wk), 7 Axar Patel, 8 Harshal Patel, 9 R Ashwin ...

With wickets key for any chance of a South Africa win, Rabada bowled a third over inside the powerplay, and continued to trouble Rahul with his assortment of deliveries that jag in and angle away. After drinks, Rahul smacked the occasionally wayward Nortje for six over long on, to move to 21 in 37 balls, and after that, he never looked out of sorts again. Rabada, perhaps kept a tad too late to bowl his final over, was thumped by Suryakumar for consecutive fours with the game nearly sealed. The first six was fortuitous, with Nortje's pace taking it for a six over deep third. Chahar relied on a shorter length - with the ball getting old - but Arshdeep kept finding his full ball to Markram whizzing past the outside edge. Harshal, though, picked off Maharaj in a tidy 20th over to ensure India would be chasing at a run-rate of well under six. R Ashwin, introduced right after the powerplay after being picked ahead of Yuzvendra Chahal, had the liberty to show off his wares. They had South Africa on the mat early, reducing the visitors to 9 for 5 inside the third over, with a supreme display of swing bowling in both directions. His line was closer to the stumps, and relied on ensuring the lower order batters could not free his arms. At 9 for 5, the South African lower order had a steep mountain to climb. However, India always remained favorites, despite making only 17 runs in their first six overs; the 93-run unbeaten partnership between Rahul and Suryakumar took them home with 20 deliveries to spare and give the hosts a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. From the other end, Arshdeep had Quinton de Kock inside-edge a cut onto his stumps off a wide-ish length ball.
