Despite a brilliant hundred from Rohit Sharma, India ended up losing the first Twenty20 International of the Mahatma Gandhi-Nelson Mandela series at Dharmasala on Friday. For South Africa, Jean Paul Duminy played a solid innings, after the openers Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers laid a solid foundation. Second match will be played at Cuttack on Monday.

Over 19.4 || Score 200/3 (Duminy 68, Behardien 32)

Sreenath Aravind started the final over with good delivery, giving away a single to Farhaan Behardien. And a poor throw from long-off resulted in two runs, thus giving strike to dangerous JP Duminy. Then, Duminy dismissed the third ball over the mid-on boundary, untraceable.

And with a gentle push towards to mid-on, Duminy raised his fist to celebrate the win.
