17.5

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
17.4
Harshit Rana to Nortje, byes, 1 run, oh very good yorker that somehow escapes hitting the base of leg stump. Jitesh couldn't effect a clean stop and they get a run. Hands on head for Harshit Rana as he couldn't believe it didn't take the stumps out
17.3
Harshit Rana to Markram, 1 run, short of length delivery, Markram mistimes the slap to cover
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
17.1

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
6
Harshit Rana to Markram, 1 run, 140.5kph, length delivery around off, Markram goes for a drive and gets an inside edge past the stumps, a single taken

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

3.5
Harshit Rana to Stubbs, 2 runs, flicked through the leg-side for a couple of runs by Stubbs
3.4
Harshit Rana to Stubbs, no run, on a length around middle and leg, the ball shapes back in sharply and strikes the batter on the pads. Stubbs tried to flick, but couldn't get any bat as it got obstructed by the pad. The ball later lobbed towards point where Tilak didn't latch on to the catch either. He dived to get there but couldn't control. Seemed like the umpire himself wasn't sure about what was happening and he went upstairs. The third umpire confirms there was no bat involved and Stubbs is eventually adjudged not out. He wasn't caught anyway, not sure what the confusion was all about
3.3
Harshit Rana to Markram, 1 run, on a length around middle and leg, nips back in as Markram clips it towards mid-wicket for one
3.2
Harshit Rana to Stubbs, 1 run, short ball at the ribs, Stubbs hops a touch and tucks it towards the on-side for one

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)

Harshit Rana to Brevis, 1 run, in the air, but safe! Almost another wicket for Harshit Rana. This was a short and quick ball at the body, Brevis goes for a pull after getting hurried. Gets a top edge beyond square leg and just manages to elude Chakravarthy who was charging across to his right
1.5
Harshit Rana to Brevis, no run, pitched up by the bowler outside off, shaping away from the batter, Brevis goes for a drive and misses

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)
