SA Batting G Coetzee 2(3) A Simelane 5(2)

1
19.6: Arshdeep Singh to Gerald Coetzee, Full again, on off, Gerald Coetzee stays low to go down the ground. Toe-ends the shot to long on for just a single. A relief on the faces of those in the Indian camp. A mini-scare for India towards the end but Arshdeep Singh did the job for them. India win by 11 runs and take an unassailable 2-1 lead in the series!

1
19.5: Arshdeep Singh to Andile Simelane, Full and angled in, at the off stump, Andile Simelane wrists it through mid-wicket for a single.

4
19.4: Arshdeep Singh to Andile Simelane, FOUR! Andile gets it through but that won't be enough for South Africa! Arshdeep bowls a fullish delivery, on off, Andile Simelane stays deep in the crease and lofts it over cover. Three fielders converge and the deep cover fielder puts a dive to his right but fails to cut it off.

0
19.3: Arshdeep Singh to Marco Jansen, OUT! LBW! What a time to get the review right! Jansen departs and takes his team's hopes with him. Arshdeep serves it very full, attacking the stumps from over the wicket, Marco Jansen gets inside the line and goes deep in the crease to help it away off his pads. Gets beaten on the inside edge and it rolls off his pads behind to short fine leg for a leg bye. A confident shout for LBW from Arshdeep but the umpire shakes his head. Has it pitched in line? Arshdeep thinks so and India take the review. The UltraEdge shows no bat and it is three reds on Ball Tracking. South Africa need 18 off 3.

6
19.2: Arshdeep Singh to Marco Jansen, SIX! JUST OVER! And that will be FIFTY FOR JANSEN! A blinder of a knock so far from Jansen. Gets to his maiden T20 fifty and he is keeping his side alive in the chase. South Africa need 18 from 4. Arshdeep serves it full and angles it across the batter, near the tramline on off, Jansen extends his hands and gets underneath it nicely. Pumps it over the leaping Tilak Varma at deep cover for a six. Tilak banged his head on the turf while landing and he is down on the ground.

0
19.1: Arshdeep Singh to Gerald Coetzee, A loud shout for LBW but turned down! Arshdeep Singh is interested and SKY takes the review. Arshdeep goes searching for the yorker but dishes out a low full toss, on the pads, Gerald Coetzee goes for a swipe across the line but gets beaten on the inside edge and it brushes the front pad and then goes on to hit the back leg. The ball goes behind on the leg side and they cross over. The UltraEdge shows no bat but the Ball Tracking shows that the ball is hitting the leg stump but the impact is umpire's call.

Hardik digs it in short, at the batter, Jansen tries to take the short ball on. Gets a top edge that flies over the keeper and goes for a boundary. 25 needed off the last over.

6
18.5: Hardik Pandya to Marco Jansen, SIX! Oh, hello! Suddenly, it's game on! Back of a length, width on offer on off, Jansen hangs back and pummels it over wide long off for a biggie. 22 runs off the first 5 balls. South Africa need 29 off 7 balls.

4
18.3: Hardik Pandya to Marco Jansen, FOUR! Not where Jansen intended but he will take it! Slower and on a good length, around off, Jansen loses his shape as he swings a bit too hard. Gets it off the outer half of the bat towards deep backward point for a boundary. 14 runs off the first 3 balls.

6
18.2: Hardik Pandya to Marco Jansen, SIX! It ain't over yet, says Jansen! Short and angling in at hips, Marco Jansen just helps the ball on its way and clears the deep backward square leg fence for a six. 41 needed from 10.

4
18.1: Hardik Pandya to Marco Jansen, FOUR! Smart batting! Back of a length, slower one and on off, Jansen knows that mid on is inside the circle. Just lofts it over the man at mid on and picks up a boundary.

17.4: Arshdeep Singh to Heinrich Klaasen, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Arshdeep Singh returns to the attack and gets the big fish! A body blow to South Africa! Stays over the wicket and dishes out a slower one, on a length. Keeps it away from the batter's arc, near the tramline on off, Heinrich Klaasen is made to reach out to go over the top on the off side. Slices it off the bottom part of the bat and it goes only as far as deep point where Tilak Varma settles under it and does the rest. Heinrich Klaasen perishes after a quickfire 41 off just 22. South Africa are 167/6 after 17.4 overs, needing 53 more off 14 balls.

4
17.2: Arshdeep Singh to Marco Jansen, FOUR! Streaky but South Africa will take it any which way they come! Angled across, on a good length, around off and it is the slower one, Jansen goes for a slog across the line. Gets an inside edge that dribbles to the left of the keeper and races into the fence.

1
17.1: Arshdeep Singh to Heinrich Klaasen, Singh hurls in a yorker, on off and middle, Heinrich Klaasen takes it on the full and smears it through mid-wicket for a single.

IND219/6
IND Batting A Patel 1(1) T Varma 107(56)

1
19.6: Marco Jansen to Axar Patel, What a fantastic final over from Marco Jansen! Just 4 singles from it. Call it anti-climax of all sorts. Full and on the stumps from Marco, Axar Patel clears his front leg and swings hard but mistimes it. Inside edges it on the pads and the ball rolls to the short fine region for just a single.

0
19.5: Marco Jansen to Tilak Varma, OUT! RUN OUT! Jansen varies his pace and keeps the line of attack outside off, bowls it on a fuller length. Tilak Varma sits on his knee and looks to slog it away over the leg side but the lack of pace gets the better of him. He swings and misses and without seeing the ball, just charges to the other end to collect a bye. However, Heinrich Klaasen collects it cleanly on the bounce and underarms the throw into the sticks at the batter's end. Scores a direct hit and Ramandeep Singh is nowhere in the frame.

0
19.4: Marco Jansen to Tilak Varma, It just keeps getting better! A bumper on the back of a length, outside off, Tilak Varma swings to pull but gets no wood on it. Misses. A pricy dot ball!

1
19.3: Marco Jansen to Ramandeep Singh, Bowls it full in length, just outside off, Ramandeep Singh drags it and pulls it along the ground between deep square leg and deep mid-wicket for a single. So far, so good from Jansen in this final over. Just 3 singles off 3 deliveries.

1
19.2: Marco Jansen to Tilak Varma, A well-fired yorker outside off, Tilak Varma shovels it straight to mid off and fetches a quick single.

1
19.1: Marco Jansen to Ramandeep Singh, A slower one, around middle on a good length, Ramandeep Singh mistimes his pull shot and gets it just on the bounce to deep mid-wicket for a single.

18.6: Lutho Sipamla to Tilak Varma, SIX! Of what could have been a six-less over, the Free Hit spoils it for Lutho Sipamla! He bowls a full toss in the channel of middle and off, Tilak Varma uses the pace of the ball and scoops it over deep fine for a six. 19 runs off the over.

0
18.6: Lutho Sipamla to Tilak Varma, A well-directed yorker on off, Tilak Varma jams his bat down in time and digs it back to the bowler. Uh, oh! Lutho Sipamla has overstepped here and the umpire signals for a No Ball. FREE HIT loading...

4
18.5: Lutho Sipamla to Tilak Varma, FOUR! MAIDEN T20I HUNDRED FOR TILAK VARMA! He has done it in some style here at the SuperSport Park. Gets a huge applause from everyone in the crowd. Lutho Sipamla serves it right into the hitting arc, full and on off, Tilak Varma gets his front leg out of the way to create room and spanks it downtown for a cracking boundary.

1
18.4: Lutho Sipamla to Ramandeep Singh, A wide yorker outside off, Ramandeep Singh digs it out and guides it to deep backward point for a single.

4
18.3: Lutho Sipamla to Ramandeep Singh, FOUR! Whoa, what a cracking shot! The 200 is up for India! Lutho Sipamla bowls a fuller one, straight at the off stump line, Ramandeep Singh clears his front leg and smashes it down the ground for a boundary to the right of mid off.

2
18.2: Lutho Sipamla to Ramandeep Singh, SHOUTS OF CATCH IT...But not at all an easy chance for Gerald Coetzee at short third. A fuller one, around off, Ramandeep Singh throws his bat at it and swings way too hard. Loses his shape and the ball goes off the leading edge and lands behind short third for a couple of runs.

1
18.1: Lutho Sipamla to Tilak Varma, Full toss at the leg stump. Varma steps ahead and steers it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

17.6: Andile Simelane to Ramandeep Singh, SIX! What a way to initiate the T20I career! Simelane goes searching for a yorker but misses his mark and serves a half-volley on the middle and leg. Ramandeep finds the middle of the bat and goes down the ground for a six behind long on.

0
17.5: Andile Simelane to Rinku Singh, OUT! BOWLED'EM! RIGHT INTO THE BLOCKHOLE! Andile Simelane charges in from over the stumps and smartly varies his pace. Bowls in a well-directed yorker at the stumps, Rinku Singh clears his front leg to work it across to the leg side. But, he gets a bit too early into the shot to swing his bat down. Misses to get any wood on it and the ball clatters the sticks in a flash. India lose half of their side now. Rinku Singh's struggling stay comes to an end.

0
17.4: Andile Simelane to Rinku Singh, Well-directed bumper outside off, Rinku Singh misses to get any bat on it.

2
17.3: Andile Simelane to Rinku Singh, SHOUTS OF CATCH IT! Oh, just short and wide of the mid on fielder! Andile Simelane slips in a low full toss on the stumps, Rinku Singh bends low and mistimes it in the air to the right of mid on. Aiden Markram scoots and slides to stop the ball, more than going for the catch but it evades him and runs to long on. Two taken.

1
17.2: Andile Simelane to Tilak Varma, A wide yorker from Simelane, outside off, Tilak Varma squeezes it out to deep point for a single.

4
17.1: Andile Simelane to Tilak Varma, FOUR! Smashed away! Just a hit away from a ton now! Andile Simelane slants it across off, pitches it up, outside off, Tilak Varma sits down on his knee and slogs it over mid on for a boundary. Not an ideal line and length with mid on in the circle. Tilak moves to 94.
