00:00Mouthwatering clash then India who've been in terrific form actually since that 24 final
00:11they have the best win percentage South Africa not so they're right at the bottom end of that
00:15table actually yeah they're going to have a bat first but both captains as you can see they're
00:19happy with the result of the toss. I have a feeling that India will look to use their first
00:2511 Washington Sundar still not available going through rehab Jaspreet Bumrah is not around I have
00:31a feeling Arshdeep and maybe Kuldeep or Harshit Rana might not bat otherwise all the other guys
00:36will get a nice hit out in the middle considering they're batting first it's a it's a good-looking
00:42side with the reinforcements coming in couple of injuries they have a lot of power and they've
00:47maintained some consistency a good series win against the West Indies they look quite solid
00:52but two lefties will come out for the first time he has an excellent slowable we might not see the
01:03slowable straight away what a shot what an opening dismissed it's exactly what he does but he gets a
01:16little too tight and that is the problem over pitch and you get belted back over your head one bounce for
01:25there he goes again vacant leg side just picked up dispatched
01:31Bosch back over Bosch's head
01:37beautiful ball striking the very best of Abhishek Sharma now he's joining in the fun and India are beginning
01:46to motor on that's where he has to be and even that will fly away off the outside edge and the ball
01:58keeps going further and further
02:00gone a long way biggest to the night so far just helped on its way but if you continue to bowl in
02:12that line and length that will continue to happen if that is the problem belted absolutely belted
02:20oh wow would you believe it it's not going for Norkia but it is for it and Kishan he can't quite believe it
02:30and there we go again Kishan in the slot says thank you very much
02:38Kuenama Parker welcome to India he's had enough he said thanks very much guys
02:44I've got myself 50 or 20 balls I'm going to go and have a rest
02:47Pela Gorma spent a few weeks away from the game
02:50there you go spinning into you it doesn't matter where it's spinning from it's spinning
02:58out of the ground
02:59it's done it again that's a good length and although the
03:04Canucks managed to get it around the corner he's going to get two it's good fielding by Kuenama Parker
03:09that's a better length it just doesn't allow you to have that free flow of your arms
03:13and on this particular wicker as flat as it is has been given a boundary
03:17after Ishaan Kishan it's Abhishek Sharma who's decided to walk off
03:2124 of 19 now comes Surya Kumari Adav
03:26Surya loves to take on that angle couple of men converging and they'll watch the ball sail over
03:34shot absolutely bludgeoned
03:40is there another one this is sailing over the ropes into the hospitality section
03:48wanted to go for a big wild slog gets an inside edge
03:56makes a whole lot of room for himself
04:01second time in this innings it's the inside edge that's been kept busy one against Markram now against Janssen
04:10there is a fielder who spent some time but he let that go Corbin Bosch was the man
04:20had a lot of time Surya Kumari Adav survives
04:24a lot of power generated beats the fielder and still has enough to go past the boundary
04:33Daksimova that's clipped the leg stump it's taken everyone by surprise Tillatwarma
04:42ball round his legs there's a yorker that lands literally at the root of the leg stump
04:47a good outing for Tillatwarma and that's what everybody wanted to see
04:51Akshar Patil makes his way out into the middle
04:54slowed it down but Akshar Patil had enough time to read it and dispatch it
05:01loves that area
05:06shuffles across but there's enough time for the fielder to settle under it no mistake this time around
05:17think that was the slurr ball a slurr ball with perhaps a little bit of width and the
05:22length that he couldn't quite seize on 30 from 16 1 6 7 4 4 and then Rinku Singh very busy player
05:31the third time there's an edge Kagi Surabata back in the attack Rinku Singh does not waste a moment
05:44more things are definitely going the way of the men in blue tonight
05:52and an uppercut this time
06:02doesn't go the distance Tristan Stubbs makes no mistake and Rinku Singh's innings comes to an end
06:09first wicket for Anrik Nokia yeah it's not how you start but how you finish Nokia is coming good
06:15Rinku Singh gone for 16 India 204 for four
06:19Hardik Pandya
06:24one hand is all he needs to clear the boundary
06:31there he goes once again Hardik Pandya it's just too easy at the moment for him second six in three balls
06:39beautiful Aksar Patel
06:45just lock yourself up Hardik Pandya oh just the power
06:52in the end opportunity spills it to make matters worse it goes to the boundary Jason Smith the fielder
07:03always shot third makes him pay immediately does Hardik Pandya yet another maximum
07:12shot again opportunity once more Marco Jansen coming round pouches it comfortably it's a nice little cameo comes to an end not before the entertainment though
07:26Hardik Pandya goes for 30 of 10 India 240 for five so Harshit Rana comes out to face the final ball
07:34good bouncer the umpire thinks about the wide for a second but I think that's about it it's a dot ball to finish she gets away with it
07:47hey come on we need that he said Corbin Bosch come on we've been whacked all over the place give us that and walk off will you 240 for five
07:55South Africa need 241 runs they're allotted 20 overs a nice flat pitch the skipper comes out to bad aid in
08:04Markham not with his usual opening partner this time it's George Linder I think he's a really intuitive bowler
08:16not the middle of the bat but the middle of the hand and our steep completes what is an outstanding first
08:22over it's not going to be Linda's night it certainly hasn't been South Africa's quite yet and our steepest back in the
08:29wickets classy player needs a classy innings that is for sure
08:36beautiful shot excellent shot
08:40that's not bad either Markham is tucking in to Hardik Pandya at the moment
08:45oh short and gets dispatched 6-6-6
08:53middle of the bat but plenty enough of it just goes I think all the way
09:02timing and it will go for four
09:08swatted away and swatted away with great effect
09:15the timing just about good enough
09:19that'll go that'll go all the way this time
09:25elevation just enough timing good enough as well not the middle of the bat but boundaries continue to
09:30flow here
09:33and I was going to say interestingly enough this is a good pickup shot this by Rickleton so
09:36it's going to go for
09:41fortunately for Rickleton there's a bit of a thick inside edge almost going between the legs
09:4766 for two Aidan Markham has walked back retired out at 38 new world crevice walks in
09:53slot sweep backs himself to pay that shot
10:03gives it a little more flight while Rickleton goes one better
10:10waits for the slow one
10:12missed it for just a moment killer for my long off but still had enough time to recover
10:17and accept the catch he hasn't found the center and he's only managed to throw it up in the air
10:22good catch it's the end of brevis South Africa on our 81 for three good to see David Miller back on the path
10:28a lovely shot David Miller now India go to Varun Chakrabarti
10:37the very first ball not a clue
10:40Ishan Kishan will do the rest
10:44the number one baller in t20 cricket
10:47serves up some mystery on the very first ball
10:5044 21 balls South Africa are now 96
10:53four
10:55curious case of Jason Smith
11:00oh i think it's out actually a little inside edge yes umpires raised his finger
11:05that's a good catch by Ishan Kishan
11:08inside edge maybe hit the foot or the pad popped up and he's jumped forward and he's taken a good
11:13little rebound one-handed catch
11:1713 off 10 for the evening South Africa 100 for five
11:21play for the same team in the IEP Alakshar Patel and Tristan Stubbs
11:27that is the way that he's going to have to play even though it's the guy at the other end because
11:31they need that and plenty more
11:37loopy one he'll get a boundary Jason Smith back to Varun Chakrabarti
11:41yeah he has a lot of skills doesn't he Varun Chakrabarti
11:51makes some space clears the front leg and starts off the proceedings with a crisp boundary
12:01the way he's smashing the ball right now you can tell that this is not a player who bats at a
12:05strike at a 129
12:10gives the ball some air and this is the fielder that's just been pushed back
12:13come close to the 30-yard circle and get his man
12:17a well-planned wicket and that's exactly what he was thinking
12:20and Smith goes for 35 from 23 Stubbs is still there that required rate is just under 19
12:28also catch it but it rockets away from Akshar Patel
12:43Shivamdube welcome into the attack by Marco Janssen
12:47he does strike a clean ball there's Marco Janssen 150 up for South Africa
12:58that's the biggest one of the night
13:05he finishes the over with a boundary
13:07down the left side
13:16and there he gets his wicket big swing across the line misses it completely Marco Janssen
13:22and Abhishek Sharma gets his second Marco Janssen he's gone for a breezy 31 of 16
13:31this is a great shot by Stubbs
13:37high in the air opportunity no sales over Sanju Sampson
13:43oh it's huge it's a second tier
13:52make that six six six suddenly finding the middle of the bat
14:01playing a handy knock getting 45 of 21
14:04South Africa want to lose this game India will win it by 30 but a great contest in a practice game
14:11everybody getting what they want
14:13India emerging too strong for South Africa over 450 runs scored today
14:21that was a treat for the crowds that came in to watch a repeat of the last World Cups
14:27training
14:34you
14:34you
