00:00by your mouth-watering class then India who've been in terrific form actually
00:04since that 24 final they have the best win percentage South Africa not so
00:08they're right at the bottom end of that table actually their second bottom in
00:12terms of matches won since that final now then let's take you back to some of
00:17the glory days alongside we can tell talk us through the sides it is well you
00:22can use all 15 to be able to see how the captains use their players yeah good
00:27evening good evening specifically asked him that early on just to sort of
00:30establish where we were with that one that's how South Africa line up as Aidan
00:34said they they've just been playing a series
00:42yes South Africa bowling first tonight India winning the toss selecting the bat
00:45first Marco Janssen and Rik Nokia we've got two lefties who come out
00:55for the first time it's the only sort of cut
01:06from the South African perspective as well considering they're playing three game
01:09get away with that one it's an interesting point actually because touring
01:16sides who come to India what a shot what an opening dismissed goes all the way
01:24first boundary six of the innings and there's going to be plenty more
01:27great comeback that's what you want to see from your big tall fast bowler who's just been belted back
01:35over his head for six you want to see the response
01:37the left-hander
01:46it's exactly what he does but he gets a little too tight and that is the problem
01:56yeah it doesn't matter where the fielders are
01:57it's almost become a feature of
02:13now there's a stifle the pill nothing from Marco Janssen all have their little
02:30match-ups and their ideas those numbers are exceptional that strike rate is
02:35unbelievable
02:45a bit of a theory of mine and probably others as well that follow this game
02:51there he goes again vacant leg side just picked up dispatched and if it's not
02:57Lungi and Gidi that gets hit out of the ground it is Kegisa Rabada
03:01Bosch back over Bosch's head and this time just one bounce Corbin Bosch is a very useful
03:18performer been seen in the IPL last year
03:24wonderful beautiful ball striking the very best of Abhishek Sharma now he's joining in the fun and
03:29India are beginning to motor on
03:36that's where he has to be and even that will fly away off the outside edge
03:47and the ball keeps going further and further
03:50Mokia just welcomed with a little nonchalant clip over deep extra cover now he's beginning to motor
03:59gone a long way biggest of the night so far just helped on its way six more to Ishan Kishan
04:07and that's the thing with face it's a double-edged sword
04:12but if you continue to bowl in that line and length that will continue to happen and that is the problem
04:17belted absolutely belted with disdain he did go for the Yorker he hasn't got any cover that is the problem
04:30no cover back for that ball again made
04:35oh wow would you believe it it's not going for Norkia but it is for Ishan Kishan he can't quite believe it
04:42it goes for six he goes to
04:48i just feel they really relish off that pace on you really almost have to take a lot of pace off
04:53and there we go again
04:57Kishan
04:59in the slot says thank you very much
05:02Kuenama Parker welcome to India
05:05thanks very much guys i've got myself a 50 of 20 balls i'm gonna go and have a rest
05:11each and every peser thank you
05:13keeps to go for that the 7th of February opening day
05:16ball starts at the SST in Colombo Pakistan versus the Netherlands and then the West Indies
05:22Tilak Verma will be focusing on him spent a few weeks away from the game
05:31does not waste much time there's no
05:37as he walked out to bat you know everybody else kind of took a ball or two to get going
05:41Tilak Verma wonder what the messaging is a couple of days back he played for India A
05:46against the USA a warm-up match here
05:52two fielders out in the deep three in fact and if you add the man head long on
05:58there you go
06:01spinning into you it doesn't matter where it's spinning from it's spinning out of the ground
06:05Tilak Verma
06:06this is out another in the attack
06:18starts off with a single
06:21Surya loves to take on that angle couple of men converging and they'll watch the ball sail over
06:27game on ready for the contest says Surya Kumariadav
06:30is there another one this is sailing over the ropes into the hospitality section
06:59there's a left-hander 15 wickets economy 8.72
07:04tournament where if you just kind of hold a back of a link something's always going to happen
07:08the ball is going to
07:11just knowing that conditions to come field opposition
07:17makes a whole lot of room for himself
07:19the second time the second time in this innings it's the inside edge that's been kept busy one
07:38against Markram now against Janssen
07:46there is a fielder who spent some time but he let that go
07:51Corbin Bosch was the man had a lot of time to identify the right length on that surface it could
07:58take you a couple of couple of overs but here that stands out
08:01a lot of power generated beats the fielder and still has enough to go past the boundary
08:10whatever length they ball at the moment they're being
08:15doksimova that skipped the leg stump
08:18it's taken everyone by surprise Tilak Verma
08:21and the entire Indian contingent will be delighted 45 of 19 three fours and three sixes
08:36and Surya comes down the track is slightly inside out
08:42it's a step on the field in most games we've got Abhishek, Isha, Tilak
08:51loves that area absolutely loves it it's a pickup shot that is very very trendy
09:03shuffles across but there's enough time for the fielder to settle under it
09:07no mistake this time around
09:16just getting the crucial number six and seven to get some game time yeah if this was a
09:26big fund here
09:27whoa wondering in case he's going to go out have a hit where does Hardik bat it is going to be in
09:32a situation that's dependent on the number of overs they're back in the attack
09:38Rinku Singh does not waste a moment
09:42the blink of an eye there's another one that's traveled over the boundary
09:45it's classic Rinku isn't it remember
09:51India might have a couple of reservations in playing that combination Nick
09:55is
09:56and an uppercut this time watched it right till the end
10:04and she's sailed over the third man region
10:07that's got to be something that's
10:09day one matches of the t20 men's world cup 2026 pakistan take on netherlands
10:14incredible exhibition this is i welcome Dale Steyn
10:22oh no
10:27i hope he's okay
10:32yeah he's certainly south africa's one of south africa's best death bowlers along with
10:35and just like that he'll bowl a lot of change of pace the odd yorker
10:46it's good bowling by Ngiri
10:50tight call
10:52but it lights up
10:55give the umpires a better idea whether it's wide or not you know like
10:58play
11:03very good from Ngiri again that change of pace
11:16doesn't go the distance
11:18Tristan Stubbs makes no mistake and Rinku Singh's innings comes to an end first wicket for
11:24Anrik Nokia
11:27yes
11:31Hardik Pandya
11:35one hand is all he needs to clear the boundary
11:40first ball six for the swashbuckling all-rounder
11:45there he goes once again Hardik Pandya it's just too easy at the moment for him
11:50second six in three balls
11:57just lock yourself up
11:58Hardik Pandya oh just the power
12:04there's so much power in this shot and again the swagger
12:07high in the air an opportunity spills it to make matters worse it goes to the boundary
12:17Jason Smith the fielder over his shot third
12:22makes him pay immediately does Hardik Pandya yet another maximum
12:26slap this one absolutely imperious
12:31Hardik Pandya
12:34shot again opportunity once more Marco Jansen coming round pouches it comfortably
12:40it's a nice little cameo comes to an end not before the entertainment though
12:46yep that is job done very much job done disappointing for most of the crowd who want to see another ball
12:51the final ball
12:57good bounce
13:00the umpire thinks about the wide for a second
13:06but I think that's about it it's a dot ball to finish she gets away with it
13:10hey come on we need that he said Corbin Bosch come on we've been whacked all over the place
13:17give us that and walk off will you
13:20to be wiped until stadium india have taken full toll of them and they have posted a very very impressive 240
13:28for it won't feel like that for those on the screen indeed
13:32pretty good bearing in mind the way the evening has gone with the ball of them
13:38but they'll know that south africa too have a very very strong batting line
13:41it's safe to say that the south african bowlers will be much happier with the cool down than the walk
13:52get into the ice bath as soon as possible let's head to amdabad
13:56i think he's a really intuitive bowler but i think he's some
14:17i think he's got a big heart just the last t20 game against new zealand
14:22when just the variation one in one out just not letting the batter settle
14:32it's terrific at this fantastic ball and he knows i think he knows there that the batter is
14:42not the middle of the bat but the middle of the hand and our steep completes what is an outstanding
14:47first thing first over it's not going to be linda's nut
15:01length excellent early with the new ball
15:03just put a little bit more nip around i think there'd be a huge amount of due i don't think
15:14there is a beautiful shot excellent shot not an easy shot to play because hardic will walk back
15:21thinking i didn't do a terrific amount wrong there that's the ball he wanted
15:24that's not bad either markrum is tucking in to hardic pandia at the moment
15:33yeah that's how good the surface is once the
15:37oh short and gets dispatched six six six markrum is motoring south africa are getting going
15:44and this guy's just got one or two uh thoughts now he's gonna have to have a chat
15:47easy one better over excellent the middle of the bat but plenty enough of it just goes i think all the
15:59way it's been a six fest all night really really has 19 and 14
16:05i'm hoping you'll have to hurry have to hurry okay in the end
16:21timing and it will go for four boundary fest continues this time just a little straight so for the first
16:29time
16:37beauty absolute beauty play that if you can and he can't even in the form that he's in because what
16:44about your side they've got the easiest to in my opinion i mean they're in good form to a bowling well
16:54i don't think there's gonna be quite as much in the surface perhaps for the spinners as there has
16:57been where they've been that was lovely shot should have been cut off
17:08half stop miss fiend
17:13accident just followed in and it's hurt
17:20hmm
17:20the seat now the stadium this is a venue where you almost always see a full house
17:31any game they won 7th of february pakistan up against netherlands 11 am west indies against
17:38scotland in kolkata 3 pm local time since the last i've covered every single series almost
17:45it's very difficult to find a chick in their arm because if hardic end ends up being fully
18:00an accurate at sea wat gamtee wh misconceptionsc under harsh itself
18:07swatted away and swatted away with great effect aidan markham is finding the boundary
18:13he's in a lot of pain but he continues on 41 for 1
18:17he loves operating around the wicket does harshit rana has that incredible ability did
18:25oh just just enough elevation just for a moment i thought rickleton had found mid on but
18:33the timing just about good enough and do they need that absolutely that'll go that'll go all
18:40the way this time so harshit randa is being harshly dealt with and this is exactly what
18:46south africa need to give them hope in the early overs but this is also a thing that i've seen in
18:57elevation just enough timing good enough as well not the middle of the bat but boundaries continue
19:08to flow here markrum is uh playing a very very good hand just saw him coming there just changed the line
19:17another expensive over i've gone 16 from it 57 for one
19:24goal is third keeps it wide perhaps marginally slower as well dale stain joins me in the com box he's
19:35been in keeping it wide that angle hitting the bottom of the bat afghanistan scoring more than
19:42300 india finding low coverage on our network we live from 1pm
19:46i think his ability to swing the ball always gives him the opportunity at taking wickets especially
19:58inside the and i was going to say interestingly enough this is a good pickup shot this by rickleton
20:03it's going to go for a couple bounces four but is rickleton are the south africans brave enough to play that
20:09lap to try
20:14our sleep and boomerang not played a lot of tricker sitting without all this is exactly what i was talking
20:20about fortunately for rickleton is a bit of a thick inside edge almost going between the legs
20:27have a slip as well we did see there was some grip in purchase in the first innings and that was a finger
20:34spinners but could be the others got a few tricks up his sleeve
20:43you know walked in we stole that fight there that laura wool fart in company shares
20:53let's certainly have it over the men if they won their first
20:55one gives it a little more flight while rickleton goes one better two sixes to finish the over 81 for two
21:15waits for the slow one missed it for just a moment till it were my long off but still had enough time
21:21to recover and accept the catch
21:26miller in the park
21:29and off the mark with a handsome looking shot dj bravo
21:36think of other guys that operate in that area maybe some boundaries to avoid
21:41once again keeps that length away from the batter
21:44it's quick running between the wickets and come back for a second
21:50a lovely shot david miller
21:55just leaning back on a delivery that not a lot of spin just sliding onto the bat so
22:00i go to varun chakravarti
22:02the very first ball not a clue ishan kishan
22:07will do the rest a number one baller in t20 cricket serves up some mystery on the very first ball
22:15this is in the previous over for rickleton going over the lake side so thinking that he could do that
22:21again it but had they been that impressive that he was first selected
22:28however i think tonight would be the biggest crowd in which he's played
22:36i just have to see in this warm-up game if he's able to put that aside
22:40stubs had in india the most incredible numbers against pace against spin
22:55is he a short starter
22:59oh i think it's out actually a little inside edge yes umpires raised his finger
23:04that's a good catch by ishan kishan inside edge maybe hit the foot or the pad popped up and he's
23:10jumped forward and he's taken a good little rebound one-handed catch
23:23to see what happens it's a good over by aksa patel
23:27getting the one wicket and only going for two runs
23:29and smith the two men out there you expect christen subs to pay them well name because
23:34they face each other a lot in have to play it slightly differently
23:39that is the way that he's going to have to play even though it's the guy at the other end because
23:43they need that and plenty more
23:50when he pulled it slower through the air that's where kuldeep yadav is at his best
23:53not entirely coming
24:02the queues were enough for kuldeep yadav good ball to finish the 12th
24:07111. and then i'll go towards abhisheed sharma
24:14you know they're in complete control of the warm-up game trying to take
24:18as many book cricket i found the seam harder to pick as a contrast of the red and the and the seam
24:26coming down
24:30loopy one we'll get a boundary jason smith
24:36there's also a lot of t20 practice sessions where batter
24:39a lot in the nets
24:50just tries to give it an extra rip it's 120 for five under 13.
24:54yeah he has a lot of skills doesn't he varun chakravarti should have probably done better
25:07there rinku at the end he did the work to get there
25:13if i'm not mistaken about 62 percent of the wickets that varun chakravarti's picked in a lot
25:19and i think one of the things with chakravarti i go back to the point i just made is that
25:23if he does deceive you and he's bowling out the stuff
25:31and you have to adapt you have to develop and adapt your game to the next level
25:35he'll be going through that at some point in the future
25:37cricket coming into this for south africa while we are talking about getting used to these conditions
25:42you look at aiden mark
25:46make some space clears the front leg and starts off the proceedings with a crisp boundary
25:53yeah hits the ball well chin is batting
26:00the way he's smashing the ball right now you can tell that this is not a player who bats at a
26:04strike rate of 129 no that's power i'm that's extra cover
26:08gives the ball some air and this is the fielder that's just been pushed back
26:13come close to the 30 yard circle and get his man
26:17a well-planned wicket and that's exactly what he was thinking absolutely and very
26:23also catch it but it rockets away from akshar patel
26:47venues in india sri lanka amdabad kolkata mumbai chennai and delhi
26:53and shivam dubai welcome into the attack by marco jansen and that's gone the distance
27:08yeah but the way this man's hitting it at the moment
27:14he does strike a clean ball that's marco jansen 150 up for
27:18that's the biggest one of the night marco jansen dispatches it into the crowd second six of the over
27:35just shot of sanju samson
27:37he finishes the over with a boundary 22 coming off that dubai over one six four four six
27:57as a sort of a dress rehearsal for the world company eventual tournaments jason smith didn't come to
28:02india just three months ago i'm not too sure whether they actually consider that tournament
28:08worthy of selecting players when it's weird because markham
28:13naughty little bouncer tall man had to get down there marco jansen
28:18down the lake side and christian stubbs gets his first boundary in india
28:36yeah just a sneaky yorker down the lake side and stubs
28:39and there he gets his wicket big swing across the line misses it completely marco jansen
29:09and abhishek sharma gets his second
29:13yeah just so this is a great shot by stubs
29:20he's miss hit a couple but that could be the biggest six of the night just leans back
29:31high in the air opportunity no sales over sanju samson
29:35second six for tristan stubs
29:43make that six six six
29:48suddenly finding the middle of the bat
29:51in the last over again tonight
29:55playing a handy knock great contest in a practice game everybody getting what they want
29:59in the last three six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six six
