For India, Suryakumar Yadav starred with the bat, scoring 40-ball 68 while the others could not even cross 15.

Coming to chase, South Africa’s top order collapse reduced them to 24/3. However, Aiden Markram and David Miller ensured a smooth ride for the team from there on. Markram scored 52 runs from 41 balls while Miller played a knock of unbeaten 59 runs from 46 balls to turn the tide in their team’s favour. Barring Ravichandran Ashwin, Indian bowlers were economical throughout the innings, which although eventually went in vain.
