282/3(45.5 Overs)

We are back for the chase! We can see the South Africa players in huddle.

... THE RUN CHASE ...

The India bowling effort was hot and cold throughout the innings. Mohammed Siraj gave them the perfect start when he got rid of Quinton de Kock in the third over and then the others put the brakes on the run before Shahbaz Ahmed got the wicket of Janneman Malan which was his maiden ODI wicket. They could not continue the momentum and let South Africa a build a huge partnership. However, they got back in the game with the help of Siraj once again who broke the partnership and got the wicket

Right then, South Africa have put on 278 runs on the board and with their bowling attack it will not be an easy chase for India. The top order of the hosts will need to put on a better performance and Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill will be key for them. This is a must-win game for them and they will be confident enough to level the series. Will the Men in Blue gun this total down? Or will the Proteas defend it successfully to seal the series. We will find out soon. Stay tuned for the second

Reeza Hendricks is up for a chat. He says that it was nice to be out there and contribute but would have liked to get that ton. Adds that it was nice batting with Aiden Markram and they needed that partneship but unfortunately, both of them got out at the wrong time and they couldn't quite get the big finish either. Says that if one of them had stayed on, they would have got to 300. Mentions that the Indian bowlers bowled well and it was a tricky wicket as the ball wasn't quite coming onto th

South Africa will be satisfied with their performance with the blade but they know they could have got more. They did not get the best of starts and lost Quinton de Kock and Janneman Malan inside the first Powerplay for cheap scores. After that Aiden Markram and Reeza Hendricks started steadying the ship, they both started off slow and took time to settle in but once they did they scored runs freely. Both of them added a 129 runs before Hendricks got dismissed for a well played 74. Howeve

A really good bowling performance from India at the back end of the innings and they have restricted South Africa to 278. They will be the slightly happier side going into the break and the momentum will also be with them after the incredible final over from Mohammed Siraj, but they will also be wary of the fiery African bowling attack.

Mohammed Siraj to Bjorn Fortuin, Leg bye! Just 3 runs off the final over, a brilliant finish from Mohammed Siraj. He bowls this on a hard length and angles it into the body. Bjorn Fortuin gets cramped for room as he looks for the pull. The ball hits the thigh pads and rolls away towards cover. They get a leg bye and South Africa finish with 278/7 on the board.

Bjorn Fortuin is the new man in.

Mohammed Siraj to Keshav Maharaj, ! TIMBER! What a final over this is turning out to be by Mohammed Siraj! Siraj bowls this quicker and fuller. The ball just tails in a bit from around the off pole. Keshav Maharaj backs away and looks to swing it hard across the line. The pace is just too much to handle for Maharaj and the ball goes on to knock the off stump out of the ground. Siraj picks up his third and this has been a brilliant fightback by India in the final few overs.

Mohammed Siraj to Keshav Maharaj, This is poor cricket from Keshav Maharaj. Slower and fuller, outside off, Maharaj tries to attempt the reverse-scoop over short third man but can't get bat on ball.

Mohammed Siraj to Keshav Maharaj, BYES! Now, what happened here? Mohammed Siraj has a shy at the stumps which costs four overthrows and the umpire signals a boundary. Siraj and the Indian players don't seem pleased but there was an attempt from Siraj to run-out Miller at the non-striker's end. The issue raised here by the Indians is that the ball was thrown back by the keeper and should be dead but the attempt of a run-out makes the ball live and hence, it will be a boundary. Poor cr

Mohammed Siraj to Keshav Maharaj, Misses the leg stump by a whisker! Pace on from Siraj, angling it in from around middle and there's just a hint of reverse on this occasion. Maharaj backs away looking to drive but is well beaten.

Shardul Thakur to David Miller, Ouch, that must have hurt! Hard length, on middle and leg and just jagging back in. Miller looks for the slog but misses and gets a blow around the rib cage. Terrific over by Thakur, just a single and a wicket off it.

Shardul Thakur to David Miller, Is there a bat on it? No, there isn't! This is a lovely delivery by Shardul Thakur, fuller and in that channel around off. David Miller looks to drive but the ball holds its line and beats the inside edge. The keeper, Sanju Samson seems excited and appeals for a caught behind but the umpire turns it down. Shikhar Dhawan does take the review. The third umpire checks UltraEdge and finds a flatline as the ball passes the bat and the review is wasted by Ind

Shardul Thakur to Keshav Maharaj, Good length, around off, pushed out onto the off side for a single.

Shardul Thakur to Keshav Maharaj, Almost chops it on! Pace on this time, around the top of off, Keshav Maharaj looks to dab at it but gets a bottom edge that goes past the stumps and towards the keeper.

Shardul Thakur to Wayne Parnell, ! CAUGHT! The pressure was mounting and Shardul Thakur gets the breakthrough for India. This is once again bowled slower but on a hard length and pushed outside off. Wayne Parnell is way too early in his shot and can't quite adjust. In the end, Parnell just ends up chipping it down towards wide long off where Shreyas Iyer takes a simple catch. Thakur strikes in his comeback over and South Africa just unable to finish with a flourish here.

Keshav Maharaj walks out to bat now.

Shardul Thakur (3-0-23-0) is back on.

PITCH REPORT - Deep Dasgupta is pitchside. He says that it isn't the biggest ground and the square boundaries are 60 meters. Ajit Agarkar joins him and says that it is a warm afternoon and it does get cooler and there's not much grass on it. Adds that there might be reverse swing later on and there will be dew coming in too.

South Africa (Playing XI) - Janneman Malan, Quinton de Kock (WK), Reeza Hendricks (In for Temba Bavuma), Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Wayne Parnell, Keshav Maharaj (C), Kagiso Rabada, Bjorn Fortuin (In for Tabraiz Shamsi) and  Anrich Nortje (In for Lungi Ngidi).

India (Playing XI) - Shikhar Dhawan (C), Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan (WK), Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson, Washington Sundar (In for Ruturaj Gaikwad), Shahbaz Ahmed (In for Ravi Bishnoi & On Debut), Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Avesh Khan, Mohammed Siraj. 

Shikhar Dhawan, the captain of India says that they would have batted second. Adds that they want to chase and take advantage of the dew factor in the second innings. Informs they have also made two changes. Washington Sundar and Shahbaz Ahmed comes in for Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ravi Bishnoi.

Keshav Maharaj, the stand in skipper of South Africa says they will have a bat first because it looks like a good wicket and will try to put runs on the board and then restrict the opposition. Informs that Temba Bavuma and Tabraiz Shamsi aren't feeling well today and they will be replaced by Reeza Hendricks and Bjorn Fortuin. Ends by saying that the wicket does look good.

TOSS - The coin goes up and lands in favour of South Africa. They have elected to BAT first.

The news from the Indian camp is that Shahbaz Ahmed will be making his ODI debut in this match.

We are back for the chase! We can see the South Africa players in huddle.

... THE RUN CHASE ...

The India bowling effort was hot and cold throughout the innings. Mohammed Siraj gave them the perfect start when he got rid of Quinton de Kock in the third over and then the others put the brakes on the run before Shahbaz Ahmed got the wicket of Janneman Malan which was his maiden ODI wicket. They could not continue the momentum and let South Africa a build a huge partnership. However, they got back in the game with the help of Siraj once again who broke the partnership and got the wicket

Right then, South Africa have put on 278 runs on the board and with their bowling attack it will not be an easy chase for India. The top order of the hosts will need to put on a better performance and Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill will be key for them. This is a must-win game for them and they will be confident enough to level the series. Will the Men in Blue gun this total down? Or will the Proteas defend it successfully to seal the series. We will find out soon. Stay tuned for the second

Reeza Hendricks is up for a chat. He says that it was nice to be out there and contribute but would have liked to get that ton. Adds that it was nice batting with Aiden Markram and they needed that partneship but unfortunately, both of them got out at the wrong time and they couldn't quite get the big finish either. Says that if one of them had stayed on, they would have got to 300. Mentions that the Indian bowlers bowled well and it was a tricky wicket as the ball wasn't quite coming onto th

South Africa will be satisfied with their performance with the blade but they know they could have got more. They did not get the best of starts and lost Quinton de Kock and Janneman Malan inside the first Powerplay for cheap scores. After that Aiden Markram and Reeza Hendricks started steadying the ship, they both started off slow and took time to settle in but once they did they scored runs freely. Both of them added a 129 runs before Hendricks got dismissed for a well played 74. Howeve

A really good bowling performance from India at the back end of the innings and they have restricted South Africa to 278. They will be the slightly happier side going into the break and the momentum will also be with them after the incredible final over from Mohammed Siraj, but they will also be wary of the fiery African bowling attack.

The issue raised here by the Indians is that the ball was thrown back by the keeper and should be dead but the attempt of a run-out makes the ball live and hence, it will be a boundary. Poor cr
