India went for the review but it was umpire’s call and the ball was pitching outside off but was clipping the top of the off-stump. Short and wide ball from Ngidi and Gaikwad cuts it over point for a boundary to break the shackles. The lines have been excellent from the Indian fast bowlers and they have induced a couple of inside edges but have been unlucky to knock off the stumps. A huge gap between the gap and the pad and Bavuma’s poor run with the bat continues. That will boost a lot of confidence as the ball spins back after slightly leaving the batsman and sneaks between the bat and pad to clip the top of the off-stump. Three from the over and a wicket. Iyer gets one in his arc from Shamsi and plays it down the ground for a boundary. Ball turns in and straightens to hit Samson on the pad and umpires gives him out LBW only to see the decision overturned after a successful DRS from the batter. Sprayed down the leg side by Ngidi and Iyer flicks it to deep backward square leg for a boundary. IND 145/5 after 30 overs: Shamsi sprays one way down the leg side, Samson and Thakur steal a couple as the short leg fielder chases the ball. Slightly short from Maharaj and Iyer plays a delicate cut that goes all the way to the fence. Thakur anticipates the length and scoops it over the keeper’s head for a boundary.

Shardul Thakur (33 off 31 balls) also played some lusty blows but Lungi Ngidi (3/52) took two wickets in the 38th over to stop India in their tracks. In reply, India slipped to 51 for 4 in 17.4 overs but Sanju Samson took the chase deep with a 63-ball 86 not out but it was not enough as they ended at 240 for 8. Invited to bat, South Africa posted 249 for 4, riding on fifties from David Miller (75 not out) and Heinrich Klaasen (74 not out) and Quinton de Kock’s 48 after the match was reduced to a 40-over-a-side affair due to wet outfield.

Pretorius has been ruled out of the series - as well as the T20 World Cup - after fracturing his left thumb.

He then tried to slog sweep Shamsi but couldn't pierce the field and the match was all but over. Maharaj also enjoyed some of the spoils when Kishan danced down to clip him over the leg side in the next over and handed Malan a simple catch at leg slip. Samson then took 14 runs off the next three balls to leave 15 to get off three. Markram was foxed by the googly and the shorter delivery and then bowled by the legbreak as he moved forward to defend. He hit Shamsi back over his head for four, helped himself to three successive boundaries off his next over, and took on Lungi Ngidi's pace to bring up India's 100. Parnell was too short in his last over and Samson hit him for two fours. The pair plundered 54 runs off the final five overs to give India a challenging target of 250. The aggressor's role was swapped between Miller and Klaasen who settled on a middle ground between an all-out attack and saving themselves for the end. Bavuma went on to strike two sweet boundaries but was then bowled by a cross-seamer from Thakur for 8. [Shreyas Iyer](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/shreyas-iyer-642519)and Samson, who put on 67 for the fifth wicket, and then Samson and [Shardul Thakur](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/shardul-thakur-475281). In the end, both teams were left to consider the limitation of using only five bowlers in an ODI innings. [Sanju Samson](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/sanju-samson-425943)smashed 86 not out off 63 balls but India fell just short of what seemed an improbable chase at one stage against a South African side desperate for wins in the World Cup Super League.
