Jasprit Bumrah’s perfect delivery in the second over led to the dismissal of Reeza Hendricks, setting South Africa back early in their innings. This was followed by Aiden Markram edging behind off Arshdeep Singh’s bowling, resulting in quick wickets for India. Despite these setbacks, Quinton de Kock continued his fine form and combined with Tristan Stubbs to put on a partnership of 58 runs off just 38 balls.
South Africa struggled to keep up with the required run rate as they lost more wickets. Stubbs was bowled by Axar Patel for 31, bringing Heinrich Klaasen to the crease. De Kock’s valiant effort came to an end when he was caught by Kuldeep Yadav off Arshdeep’s bowling for 39 runs, dealing a blow to South Africa’s chase.
