Gunaratne played a paddle shot off Mlaba for her first four and followed it up with three fours in succession off Ismail to bring up the half-century stand off 36 balls. Athapaththu got to a 42-ball fifty and then struck another hat-trick of boundaries off de Klerk as Sri Lanka went past 100 in the 16th over. Jadeja then appeared to rub this substance on to the index finger of his left hand – his bowling arm – just before beginning to bowl a delivery. Marizanne Kapp struck a boundary off Sugandika in the final over of the powerplay as South Africa got 38 in the first six overs. Athapaththu provided the much-needed impetus with three fours in a row off de Klerk in the 11th over, driving a couple through cover before pulling one over mid-wicket. The boundary drought ended in the fourth over as Athapaththu slammed a cover drive off Kapp and also struck two successive boundaries off Nonkululeko Mlaba while Madavi played a scoop shot off Ayabonga Khaka for a four. Needing 13 to win off the last over, Ismail managed a couple off the first ball bowled by Sugandika but was run out the next ball attempting a couple. The South African openers got off to a steady start, scoring three boundaries between them in the first four overs. However, Smith got a reprieve with Jadeja overstepping for the fifth time in the Test. He had Matt Renshaw too taking a review in hope, after pinging him on the backfoot while trying to defend, and then had Peter Handscomb LBW on the frontfoot with DRS siding him each time. Their batting show was also a far cry from how India’s lower order had progressed earlier in the day, with the home team digging deep to bat nearly 140 overs. But instead he had to wait a little while longer, where Warner drove him for back-to-back boundaries but soon had him trapped LBW with a ball going straight on from around the wicket.
