00:00It's the Parabadi Stadium, it's a cricket match, it is already a full house here, even
00:16before the start of the game, it was South Africa, who won the toss, they had no hesitation
00:24in fielding first, as a lot of sides do in this part of the world, because of the due,
00:31Surya Kumar Yadav, big smile, he's lost tosses before, but he's gone on to win games,
00:38and the first ball, here's Engedi,
00:44he likes hitting the first and second balls for fours and sixes, that one just stopping and holding
00:51up, holding up, sitting up nicely, sliced away, first boundary,
01:01he had to reach out for it, and he's a tall man, Shubhangil,
01:07oh lovely shot, that's in the air, and taken, in fact, he's not timed it at all,
01:13and an early blower, just feel the ball is just stopping, it's a little damp the surface,
01:21it surprised Gill here, and India have lost their first wicket, great adjustment from
01:27Lungangiti, wide to the lefty, wide to the righty as well, and then that one right on line,
01:34and the length even fuller, and it's brought about the wicket, not so easy to get away for Gill,
01:41who's looking to use his feet, he's gone for four, India five for one,
01:49it's chipped over the infield, and it's a quick outfield,
01:56and the first boundary for Surya Kumar Yadav.
01:59Oh, that's beautifully played, just a pickup shot, he made that look easy,
02:07and it's gone way back in the crowd, first six of the game,
02:13chipped at the air, and the second wicket goes, much like Shubhangil,
02:18no timing whatsoever, so after a boundary and a six, Lungangiti strikes, straightens it up this time,
02:27Lungangiti, and he says try and work that from off stump, and from a good length as well,
02:34cannot, up it goes, up in the air, it's going towards the stickers, rather than the middle of the bat,
02:39one taken, mid off the other, now at mid on, Shubhangil gone, and followed by Surya Kumar Yadav,
02:5270 for two, oh that's well played, really well played, got into a position very early,
03:00and then with that high back lift, parks it into the crowd,
03:08a lot of movement there, India would take it, four byes,
03:20that should go all the way, it does, the pitch might be on a tackier side, a slower side, but not the outfield,
03:31plays it fine, and plays it fine enough, eight from the over, 40 for two, after the power play,
03:38Siphamla to continue, in the gap, that's not gonna stop, wasn't very convincing,
03:48but nonetheless, four more added,
03:50shift again, over mid wicket this time, that should be four more, good start, in fact, a brilliant start to the over,
03:59it's fine, and has it carried, yes she has, that is a blinder, not the first time we've seen,
04:10Marku Jansson take one, as he does it again here, India rocked again,
04:16just taking pace off, again, just losing his line there, but the good thing for him was,
04:26long legs, long levers, and a fine athlete, who takes a splendid catch,
04:32he is absolutely dumbfounded, where did he come from, is what Abhishek Sharma is thinking,
04:39but he's walking, he's on his way back to the pavilion, for 17 India, 48 for three,
04:44he's nailed it, he could be bowling fast, but he's got it right out of the screws there,
04:54outstanding hit from Tilakwarma,
05:01short and goes straight into the hands of Marku Jansson, don't think he picked it under with the
05:07lights right in front of him, but that's his third catch of the day so far, and there is a stunned batter,
05:20roll it forward, forward,
05:25okay, I'm ready for the decision for a big screen,
05:37pretty simple for K and Anantapatman Abhin,
05:47Lungi gets another wicket,
05:49and Marku Jansson with another catch,
05:52India, four down, Tilakwarma, gone for set 26,
05:58gone for the big shot and got all of that,
06:02Hardik Pandya,
06:03with a big one, top shot for six,
06:11shot, oh yes, that is brilliant,
06:18gone, cut straight to backward point,
06:24and then to Pamela with the last laugh, he'll be happy with that,
06:28Akshar's gotta go,
06:31and that's exactly what's happened here with Akshar Patel,
06:35maybe he was looking to play it over that fielder,
06:39and the ball didn't quite come at the speed that he was expecting,
06:42it came at about 117 kilometers per hour,
06:45it's another wicket down,
06:47for 104 in Akshar Patel, and it's contributed 23 in that,
06:56shot, little short arm jab, use the pace,
06:59and away it goes for four, very quickly,
07:02it's called wide,
07:15shot, oh yes,
07:19fire with fire, use of the feet, and crashed away for four,
07:24four, 17 off that over,
07:33nicely played, forced away off that link,
07:38picks the gap, and with this fast outfield, it's away for four,
07:42helped on its way,
07:47can't get there this time, Marco Jansson,
07:51and it's gone for four,
07:56what timing, what timing and placement,
07:59well he split some real quality shots,
08:05this could be over, he's bowled in,
08:07and the gambles paid off,
08:10he's knocked back that middle stump,
08:14he's fired it in at 108 kilometers,
08:18and that's rattled the stumps,
08:20having Ferreira ball this over now,
08:22could potentially go wrong and give India momentum,
08:25but he's gone fast and straight,
08:26Dubey has gone across the line, he's missed it,
08:32he's knocked the middle peg back,
08:37Shivan Dubey has to depart for 11,
08:40India 137 for six,
08:44that'll be four, he's got an up bat on that,
08:48that pace at which he's bowling,
08:51and get it fine, it'll be four,
08:53clean as, and six,
08:59number three for Hardik Pandya,
09:03bang,
09:06down the ground for four,
09:07and this time it's Jitesh Sharma,
09:15who finishes the over with a six,
09:1718 coming off that last over,
09:19and India 163 for six,
09:21oh what a shot that is,
09:26what a shot to bring up his half century,
09:30it's been a magnificent innings,
09:32really,
09:33some sparkling shots,
09:36and deserves the accolades from that,
09:38he's back in the side,
09:39and back with a bang,
09:40and even the tall man can't get it,
09:46just enough bat,
09:48to clear mid on,
09:51and make it 10 of four balls,
09:52to finish things off,
10:00so after 20 overs,
10:01India finish on 175 for six,
10:04and after the start they got,
10:06I think they will settle for this,
10:08and the only reason they've reached there,
10:10is been because of the brilliance,
10:13of this man leaving the field now,
10:1559 not out,
10:16of just 28 deliveries,
10:18and he's taken India past 170,
10:20that's how things fanned out,
10:23India losing wickets early,
10:25and Giri taking two wickets,
10:26in his first two overs,
10:28and then the recovery,
10:29with Dilakwarma 26,
10:31Saksha Patel,
10:32useful hand of 23,
10:33but the beginnings of brilliance,
10:35came from Hardik Pandya,
10:37there in the middle,
10:37really made it look like a different pitch,
10:4059 of just 28.
10:48In terms of wicket taking,
10:49it was Lungi Ngiri,
10:50with Marco Jansson,
10:51pretty impressive as well,
10:53because he didn't give away,
10:54too many runs,
10:55Pereira,
10:56with a couple of overs,
10:57and a tough over in the end,
10:59going only at 6.5,
11:01Maharaj went for 25,
11:03lots of seam bowling,
11:04used by South Africa.
11:05So that's what South Africa need,
11:11after the 20 overs,
11:13it made 176,
11:15in fact,
11:16South Africa need 176,
11:18after India has made 175 to sing,
11:21from the 20th.
11:22A hint of movement.
11:33Yes!
11:34Wicket in the first over,
11:37exactly what you're talking about,
11:39on cue for me,
11:41that outside edge,
11:43and brilliantly caught,
11:45by Abhishek Sharma,
11:46and dropped in the very first over South Africa.
11:49A little,
11:52more fuller,
11:53and that's exactly what he's done.
11:55Good smart catch,
11:56that by Abhishek Sharma.
12:00And Arshdeep,
12:01getting that ball to curve away nicely,
12:03from Quinton Deacock,
12:05it's a lovely delivery there.
12:07So 0 for 1,
12:09Quinton Deacock,
12:09down for it up.
12:14That's in the gap,
12:15no stopping that one,
12:17he looks in superb nick here,
12:19Tristan Stubbs.
12:25Is it number 100?
12:27Oh no,
12:28does well though,
12:30does well Shivam Dube.
12:37That's a brilliant strike,
12:39a little too full,
12:40but a little greedy here.
12:42Arshdeep,
12:43pay the price for it.
12:47Gone!
12:49Has it carried,
12:50or has it even hit his bat or gloves?
12:55Tristan Stubbs suggests,
12:56it's not off his gloves,
12:58it's off his elbow.
13:00Looking at umpire Madhan Gopal as well.
13:06He's gone upstairs,
13:07he's taken the IDFC First Bank DRS,
13:10Surik Umari Adov.
13:11I can see a clear spike,
13:17and ball is on the back,
13:18satisfied back and goal.
13:19Can we see the completion of the catch please?
13:30Okay,
13:30it has carried, satisfied.
13:33Madhan,
13:33I recommend you reverse your decision to out,
13:35you're on screen,
13:36you can signal out please.
13:40Another toll for South Africa,
13:42was off the elbow,
13:43but had the inside edge,
13:44before it hit the elbow.
13:46Tristan Stubbs looking good,
13:47gone for 14 of 9,
13:4916 for 2 South Africa.
13:52Outside edge,
13:53and evades the outstretched hands.
13:57Close,
13:58but not close enough.
13:59That's a good pickup shot.
14:05That's a very good pickup shot.
14:07Goes all the way.
14:14Oh, brilliant.
14:15Just a bit of width on offer.
14:18Just finished saying that he's pretty attacking.
14:24Oh, loud sound.
14:27Another wicket goes.
14:29Third catch here for Javier Sharma.
14:33Could have gone for a few runs in that first over that he bowled.
14:36Extra bounce.
14:38Trying to hit it very hard,
14:39Donovan Ferreira.
14:41Once again,
14:41a smart piece of work behind the stumps.
14:44And he's been a wicket-taker,
14:45Varun Chakravarti.
14:47Donovan Ferreira,
14:49gone for 5.
14:50South Africa,
14:50in a spot of bother.
14:5150 for 5.
14:55Shot.
14:56That's nicely played.
14:58He packs a punch.
15:00Deval Brevis does 10 balls for his 20 now.
15:04He's hanging around for a bit, which Aksa did beautifully.
15:08Oh, that's a glorious hit to finish the over.
15:10That's gone a long way.
15:1211 from that over.
15:1461 for 5, South Africa.
15:20Short-arm jab.
15:21Oh, wow.
15:24That is a top shot.
15:26Marco Jansson for 6 beautiful runs.
15:33Ball in!
15:38Just skips off the surface.
15:41Run on back into him.
15:43And seems to stay a little low.
15:48Castled.
15:54Yeah, it was a little fuller as well.
15:56That's really good bowling from Varun Chakravarti.
15:58I don't think it was as short as the previous one.
16:01But again, choosing to stay off the back foot and play off the back foot, Marco Jansson.
16:07And he's cleaned up.
16:10Second one for Varun Chakravarti.
16:12And we were talking about the last recognized pair.
16:15And that's broken.
16:16Marco Jansson gone for 12.
16:1768 for 6, South Africa.
16:23Straight up in the air.
16:25Surya completes the catch.
16:29And this magician, who is Jaspreet Bunra,
16:34goes to 100 wickets in T20 internationals.
16:42Stand by, Matty. Stand by.
16:44What about that?
16:51He's gone.
16:52But that looks like a no ball to me.
16:57Brev has gone for 22 and 68 for 7.
17:04Up, up and taken.
17:06There's another.
17:07Jaspreet Bunra once again.
17:12He gets a second.
17:14Maharaj looking to play.
17:16Look at that short.
17:17Looking to play the full shot.
17:19Never got into any position.
17:22Jitesh completing his fourth catch.
17:24And now Jaspreet Bunra is 99 short of 200 wickets.
17:3070 for 8.
17:32Maharaj gone for a duck.
17:34But that's how, that's what it is.
17:41Gone now.
17:42Number 9.
17:48Doesn't stay long there, Anrik Nokia with the bat.
17:50He's a number 9 batter.
17:57And he's trying his best.
18:00But you really can't expect a fluid cover drive from a number 9 batter.
18:06Straight delivery.
18:07Coming in with the arm.
18:09Going through the gap.
18:11Bat and pan.
18:119 down 72.
18:16Nokia 1.
18:21It's all over.
18:23Taken comfortably.
18:26And this is South Africa's lowest score ever.
18:29So India winning by a massive margin.
18:32They win by 101.
18:34And they go ahead in this T20 series.
18:36Surya Kumar Yadav will be mighty pleased.
18:39You always knew 173.
18:41It was about 15 runs.
18:44Too many from South Africa's point of view.
18:45But this man, Hardik Pandya, back in the side.
18:49Back with a bang.
18:50Has really ensured that India dominate this first game of the series.
18:59So that's the story of this first T20 international.
19:04South Africa winning the toss.
19:06Fielding first.
19:07India 175 for 6.
19:09And they lost wickets early on.
19:11But some good contributions.
19:13Still up there to 26.
19:15Akshar Patel 23 from 21.
19:17But the standout performance really.
19:19Hardik Pandya, 59 not out from 28.
19:23That allowed India to get past that 170.
19:26And Giri, the pick of the bowlers, 3 for 31.
19:28In the fly, South Africa were never in it really.
19:31Lost wickets at regular intervals.
19:33Bundled out for 74.
19:34All the Indian bowlers amongst the wickets.
19:372 for 7 for Akshar.
19:38But it was Bumrah who went past 100 wickets in T20 cricket today.
19:49That's one of the Lamrian Ball who goes through to 30 in the oriental умHSP.
19:54The
