Kuldeep Yadav to Ottneil Baartman, out Caught by Suryakumar Yadav!! But he's got him eventually bowling the wide line again. Full and outside off stump, Baartman waits and looks to smash over the off-side, toe-ends it and SKY takes a simple catch at extra-cover. Ottneil Baartman c Suryakumar Yadav b Kuldeep Yadav 1(2)
19.3
W
Kuldeep Yadav to Nortje, out Stumped!! Nortje runs down the pitch, Kuldeep drops it short, bowls wide and ensures Nortje can't get under the ball. Jitesh collected and effected a simple stumping as Nortje was a long way out of the crease. Nortje st Jitesh Sharma b Kuldeep Yadav 12(12) [6s-1]
18.3
W
Arshdeep Singh to Markram, out Caught by Jitesh Sharma!! Arshdeep Singh gets Aiden Markram again. Full and angling away, Markram tried to smash this over cover, the wide angle meant he couldn't exactly control and got a faint edge. Markram stands there in disappointment for a wee bit before walking off. Pat on the back from Arshdeep for that knock. Markram c Jitesh Sharma b Arshdeep Singh 61(46) [4s-6 6s-2]

Harshit Rana to Markram, SIX, pace off and into the wicket but it sat for Markram to belt down the ground. Read this from the bowler's hand, waited and gave it an absolute smack towards the sightscreen
17.2
F
Harshit Rana to Markram, SIX, this is high, but it's cleared the deep extra-cover fence. 10th T20I fifty for the skipper and he's played a lone hand here. The dugout applauds as he raises the bat. Markram again loses shape while trying to swing hard, didn't catch the middle of the bat but had enough power behind it

Harshit Rana to Markram, FOUR, the bat has flown off the hands to the leg-side but only after Markram managed to slice this just over backward point's head for four. Full and slow from Harshit to tease the batter, Markram swung so hard that he lost grip of the bat

Hardik Pandya to Nortje, SIX, oh, that will get the dressing room excited. A bowler getting boundaries is always a thrill. Short delivery on the off stump, Nortje rocks back and pulls, times it sweetly and it clears Arshdeep at deep backward square leg

W
Varun Chakaravarthy to Marco Jansen, out Bowled!! Timbah, the off stump is down now. Jansen tries to defend this fullish delivery. He obviously doesn't have a clue about the spin on this one. He thought it would go away but it came in to sneak through the gate. It's 77/7 now.Marco Jansen b Varun Chakaravarthy 2(7)

Shivam Dube to Markram, FOUR, Harshit makes a mess of it! He wasn't happy with a poor fielding effort off his bowling early on and now he misjudges a catch. What's worse is, the ball cleared him and landed inside the rope. Markram lofted this length delivery after giving the charge but sliced it high, Harshit was well forward from the ropes as he ran in and then realized he had to go back. Tried to get it overhead with his right hand but missed the ball
13.3
W
Varun Chakaravarthy to Ferreira, out Bowled!! The mystery man takes care of the danger man! He teased Ferreira for the slog sweep by offering a fullish ball. Ferreira backed himself to nail this over mid-wicket. Left nothing in the tank as he swung and ended up missing the ball completely to lose the leg stump. Ferreira b Varun Chakaravarthy 20(15) [4s-1 6s-1]

Shivam Dube to Ferreira, FOUR, short and slow outside off stump, Ferreira rocks back and absolutely smashes the pull in the gap at mid-wicket. Picked the length early and sat back to enjoy a good hit. SKY tells Dube not to bowl short to Ferreira
12.3
Shivam Dube to Ferreira, 1 run, put down by Arshdeep! Maybe he didn't pick it up cleanly from the background. Slower delivery into the pitch from Shivam Dube, Ferreira set a solid base for a big smack down the ground, ended up hitting flat. Long-on ran in, dived forward and the replays show that it was a simple chance at this level. SKY slightly disappointed
11.5
6
Kuldeep Yadav to Ferreira, SIX, belted! This guy in a gun player, can change the game in a matter minutes. Got beaten last ball but he didn't bother one bit, put the knee on the ground to smash the slog sweep high into the Dharamsala night sky over mid-wicket
11.2
Kuldeep Yadav to Ferreira, 1 run, drilled hard off the back foot to long-on, Gill with a fine stop at the ropes and captain SKY liked that effort
10.1
W
Shivam Dube to Corbin Bosch, out Bowled!! Comes on and smacks the leg stump out of the ground. Wobble seam length delivery, lovely shots of ball hitting the seam and cutting back in sharply to surprises Bosch on the defence. He had no second line of defence and the ball gate-crashed to make a mess of the stumps. Corbin Bosch b Shivam Dube 4(9)
9.4
Varun Chakaravarthy to Corbin Bosch, no run, was that a chance? Corbin Bosch had swiped it hard towards mid-wicket and Abhishek Sharma stationed there got his hands to it. Yes, it was a chance. That will go down as a dropped catch. Was struck very powerfully, hence the fielder hardly had any time to react

Hardik Pandya to Markram, FOUR, lovely shot! Pitched up by Hardik Pandya around off and Markram creams it through wide mid-off as the ball absolutely races away to the boundary

W
Hardik Pandya to Stubbs, out Caught by Jitesh Sharma!! There you go, South Africa are four down! Back of a length delivery outside off, shaping away from the batter and Stubbs plays a loose shot away from his body. A thick outside edge is induced and Jitesh Sharma completes a safe catch behind the wickets. That's Hardik's 100th wicket in T20Is. Earlier in the series, even Bumrah picked up his 100th T20I wicket. Stubbs c Jitesh Sharma b Hardik Pandya 9(13)

Harshit Rana to Markram, FOUR, a slower delivery by Harshit Rana, tad full and Markram times his flick through mid-wicket. Chakravarthy with the chase, but he was never going to stop this

Harshit Rana to Markram, FOUR, crunched through wide mid-off. On a length around off and Markram has put this away to the wide long-off fence with a well-timed punch
3.1
W
Harshit Rana to Brevis, out Bowled!! Another one bites the dust! Pitched up by the bowler outside off, Brevis goes for a drive and the inside edge has deflected onto the leg-stump. Harshit Rana is pumped up as he has gotten rid of another dangerous batter. South Africa in a spot of bother as they have lost their third wicket within the powerplay itself. That was bowled at 144 clicks by Rana. Was a very loose shot by the batter though. Brevis b Harshit Rana 2(7)

Arshdeep Singh to Markram, FOUR, on a length around off, Markram plays it on the rise and drills it through mid-off to open his account with a boundary
2.2
Arshdeep Singh to Brevis, 1 run, that's a shocker of a review! On a length around middle and leg, it nips back in sharply to catch the inside edge and deflect on to the pad. Shouldn't have taken the review. Looks like Jitesh wasn't really convinced, but Arshdeep was confident. A replay later also shows Gill hinting that Brevis might have hit it. Was a last second review from SKY after almost walking away from it
1.2
W
Harshit Rana to de Kock, out Lbw!! Harshit Rana strikes in his first over, just like Arshdeep did. Both the openers are gone with a span of two overs. On a length from round the wicket and the ball nips in sharply to beat de Kock and rap him on the pads. Harshit appeals and up goes the umpire's dreaded finger. de Kock has a word with Markram, but doesn't opt for the review. Will have to wait for the replays to find out whether this was crashing into the stumps. It was just clipping the leg-stump, confirm the replays. de Kock lbw b Harshit Rana 1(3)

W
Arshdeep Singh to Reeza Hendricks, out Lbw!! Excellent bowling by Arshdeep Singh. Two outswingers against Reeza Hendricks and the third one nips back in. Lovely setup. On a length around middle and leg, the ball shapes back in and raps him on the pads. Replays confirm there was no bat involved, it was pitching in line, the impact was in line and it was crashing into the leg stump. An excellent review by India. Reeza Hendricks is gone without troubling the scorers. Reeza Hendricks lbw b Arshdeep Singh 0(3)
