Varun Chakaravarthy to Donovan Ferreira
Holds it back a touch, bowling it in and around off stump, Ferreira blocks it right under the eyes.
7.2
W
Varun Chakaravarthy to Donovan Ferreira
OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Excellent glove work from Jitesh Sharma yet again and Varun Chakaravarthy gets a wicket on his return to the attack. This is bowled short and a tad outside off, there to be hit as this one goes straight on. Donovan Ferreira looks to cut hard and gets undone by the slight extra bounce on offer. The outside edge is found and Jitesh takes a sharp catch just to his right. South Africa have lost half their side now for just 50 runs. Replays show that the ball actually came off the gloves of Ferreira.
7.3
0
Varun Chakaravarthy to Marco Jansen
A googly, lands it on a length around off and gets it to angle in. Marco Jansen blocks it off.

Varun Chakaravarthy to Marco Jansen
A bit quicker and fuller, just outside off, Marco Jansen manages to jam it out behind point.
7.6
0
Varun Chakaravarthy to Marco Jansen
Just drifts down leg but gets away with it, does Varun. Another googly and this is angled in a fair bit. Marco Jansen looks to tickle it 'round the corner on the leg side but misses out.
8.1
4
Hardik Pandya to Dewald Brevis
FOUR! On a fuller length, attacking the pads, Dewald Brevis heaves it away over the mid-wicket region. And even though one hand comes off the handle, he manages to power it away to the fence.
8.2
1
Hardik Pandya to Dewald Brevis
On a hard length now over middle, Brevis looks to get inside the line and pick it up over deep mid-wicket but the ball isn't full enough and this is mistimed aerially over square leg for a single.
8.3
0
Hardik Pandya to Marco Jansen
Length ball in the middle, Jansen leans on a touch and strokes it towards cover.
8.4
0
Hardik Pandya to Marco Jansen
Comes from a bit wider on the crease and angles in a good-length ball from outside off. This one stays low and nips away a bit and nearly outfoxes the keeper as well after beating Jansen's outside edge.
8.5
0
Hardik Pandya to Marco Jansen
Back of a length and over off stump, Jansen stands tall and just bunts it besides the pitch on the off side.
8.6
6
Hardik Pandya to Marco Jansen
SIX! That's a clean strike! Slightly overpitched from Pandya, and outside off. Marco Jansen hangs back, makes room, and uses those long levers to lift the ball well over long off for a biggie.
9.1
1
Varun Chakaravarthy to Dewald Brevis
Dragged length, angling it in from wide outside off, Brevis makes room and cuts it down through point for a single.

Varun Chakaravarthy to Marco Jansen
Flatter delivery around off, Jansen's feet stay rooted to the crease as he jabs it into the off side.

Varun Chakaravarthy to Marco Jansen
Flatter again and angled into middle and leg, nudged away just in front of square leg.
9.4
6
Varun Chakaravarthy to Marco Jansen
SIX! Jansen has made that look so easy. Not all that short and on off and middle, Marco Jansen simply rocks back and short-arm jabs it cleanly over cow corner for another biggie.
9.5
W
Varun Chakaravarthy to Marco Jansen
OUT! TIMBER! Instant revenge for Varun Chakaravarthy and Marco Jansen cannot believe it. A bit wrong'un from Varun, a tad fuller than the last one and outside off. The ball comes back in sharply as Jansen looks to rock back and punch it through the off side. However, he is beaten all ends up and the ball goes on to hit the top of off stump. Jansen departs after a couple of lusty blows and South Africa are now 6 down for just 68 runs.
9.6
0
Varun Chakaravarthy to Keshav Maharaj
A dot to end the first 10 overs of the chase. Fuller in length and around off, angling in, Keshav Maharaj tentatively blocks it off the inside edge.
10.1
0
Jasprit Bumrah to Dewald Brevis
Jasprit Bumrah is back on. Slams the deck hard, outside off, skidding off the deck. Dewald Brevis lines up for a pull shot but tries to hit it too hard and loses his shape completely. Gets beaten on the outside edge as the ball straightens up a bit. 
10.2
W
Jasprit Bumrah to Dewald Brevis
OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! T20I wicket number 100 for Jasprit Bumrah. He becomes the only second bowler after Arshdeep Singh to achieve this feat. Okay, hang on, the third umpire is checking whether Bumrah has overstepped or not. Brevis is already into the dugout, and it looked like a touch-and-go to be very honest, but it is deemed a fair delivery by the third umpire. Coming to the ball, Bumrah bangs it short and keeps it outside off. Dewald Brevis slashes hard from the crease and tries to hoick it over the leg side, but the ball gets big on him and he ends up slicing it over cover. Suryakumar Yadav settles under it by moving a bit to his left and takes a fine catch.

Jasprit Bumrah to Anrich Nortje
Fuller and on middle, slanted into the batter. Anrich Nortje forces it out to the off side.

Jasprit Bumrah to Anrich Nortje
WIDE! Sprays it down leg, on a length. Nortje swings and misses. Wide called.

Jasprit Bumrah to Anrich Nortje
An attempted yorker, on the stumps, Anrich Nortje carves it on the bounce to mid off for a quick single. Would have been wicket number 8 had SKY scored a direct hit. 
10.5
W
Jasprit Bumrah to Keshav Maharaj
OUT! EDGED AND CAUGHT BEHIND! It is Bumrah again. A well-directed short ball, aimed at the bodyline of the batter. Keshav Maharaj is rushed into the pull shot, but the ball deflects off the glove and lobs back to the left of the keeper. Jitesh Sharma, who has been absolutely spot-on behind the stumps this evening, makes no mistakes and gathers it safely in his gloves. South Africa are 70/8 and are staring a crushing defeat now. 
10.6

Jasprit Bumrah to Lutho Sipamla
Short and on top of middle. Lutho Sipamla rises on the toes and dabs it through the vacant short third region for a single.

Axar Patel to Lutho Sipamla

Axar Patel to Anrich Nortje
OUT! OUTFOXED! Axar gets his second wicket, and that's a perfect way to dismiss a tailender. Dishes out an arm ball, on a fuller length, sliding into the stumps with a good bit of drift. Anrich Nortje is sucked onto the front foot and tries to push it to the cover region, but plays over the wrong line and gets beaten on the inside edge as the ball crashes into the stumps behind. Anrich Nortje goes for 1 (3) and the Proteas are 72/9.

Shivam Dube to Lutho Sipamla
OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Shivam Dube joins the wicket-taking fun and South Africa are bundled out for their lowest total in a completed T20I game. Dube bangs it in on a hard length and bowls it around off. Lutho Sipamla hangs back again, looking to pull, but only manages to get it off the cue end of the bat. The ball ends up going towards a wide first slip, where Abhishek Sharma takes a simple catch. India seal a commanding victory by 101 runs!
