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.

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.

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.

In the end, both teams were left to consider the limitation of using only five bowlers in an ODI innings.
