It was a full ball outside off, as he was deep in the crease and opened the bat face to try and slice that. That was back of a length outside off, as Samson backed away and went hard at that He bowled a slower ball on a full length outside off, as Kuldeep opened the bat face and went lofting He kept his eyes on the ball while moving back, and tumbled on taking it over his head. This was tossed up full on middle, as Samson was deep in the crease and got his front leg out of the way to go down the ground Back of a length on off, and Bishnoi swung blindly to send that lobbing to extra cover again Avesh got his front leg out of the way and went flinging, but with no timing and placement Pretty full ball on off, and Avesh yet again flung his bat. This is fuller, and wide of off. Between the stumps and the non-striker. Rabada - and the new ball - set up South Africa's defence; India were 51 for 4 in the 18th over, and it was always going to be a massive climb from there. Ball was moving around, and just when I went in, it was spinning.

He went on to say that the use of two new balls is to encourage higher scores and a bowler will have to find a way to become successful in the format. "I will say that T20 is a batter's game. However, he went on to say that there is less pressure in the 50-over format. There is less pressure in this format..." "It comes down to the cliche of control what you can control.

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.

flighted delivery on off, he gets a good stride forward and then clobbers it back over the bowler's head, one bounce and over the ropes. Winning captain - A good fight at the end, obviously Sanju pushed us at the end, but the boys stood firm and took us to the win. I thought Heinrich (Klaasen) came in and absorbed (the pressure) really well and David (Miller) was hitting the ball stupendously and just exploded in the back end and I think that was the difference between us and the Indian side, getting that partnership towards the end. Losing captain - Quite proud of the way the boys played the game, we didn't get a good start, the way Shreyas, Samson and Shardul batted was excellent. But we have worked hard in the nets, I do have a good record against India and looking forward to the rest of the games. Player of the Match - Not at all (when asked if the conditions were easy to bat), the ball was moving a lot and was spinning just before I walked out to the middle.
