19.6

Anrich Nortje to Jitesh Sharma. Back of a length, wide outside off stump on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to extra cover for 1 run, fielded by Maharaj. India managed to post a decent total thanks to Hardik Pandya's brilliant knock. South Africa struck early during the power play and continued to pick up wickets at regular intervals, which restricted India's ability to play an aggressive game. However, Pandya's explosive 59 off 28 balls played a crucial role in helping India reach a competitive score. Lungi Ngidi was the standout bowler, claiming three wickets, while Lutho Sipamla took two. Join us shortly for the run chase.
