भारत vs दक्षिण अफ्रीका, पांचवां टी-20, नरेंद्र मोदी स्टेडियम, अहमदाबाद, 19 December 2025 - हाइलाइट्स

Well struck but straight to the fielder! Banged in short and around off, Miller gets on top of the bounce and crunches the pull to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Just back of a length and around off, slower too, Linde makes room to go big but gets an inside edge past the stumps and towards short fine leg for a single.

Good work in the deep! Another slower ball into the pitch, David Miller leans into the shot and pulls it flat and wide of deep mid-wicket. Washington Sundar is quick to move to his right and stops the ball, keeping it down to a brace.

OUT! CAUGHT! Arshdeep Singh finally gets into the action and that could be the game for India. Arshdeep bowls a seam-up short ball now, over middle stump and extracts a bit of extra bounce. David Miller looks to pull it into the stands but gets a top edge that goes a mile up. The ball lands around the gully region and the keeper, Sanju Samson does extremely well to settle under it and take the catch. Miller departs for 18 and South Africa are out of proper batting options, it's all up to their all-rounders now.

Short of a length and at the batter, pulled away without much timing by Jansen and he picks up a single.

Goes fuller now and bowls it outside off, Linde stays back and makes room, hitting it towards long off for a single.

Wide! A bit too wide and the turn takes it further away. George Linde lets it go for a wide.

SIX! What a hit! A half-tracker, outside off, Linde skips down the track and has to reach out to make contact. He slaps it over extra cover for a flat six.

OUT! TIMBER! Varun Chakaravarthy has his man. He sends George Linde back with a long stare. Varun switches to over the wicket but sticks with the googly. This is fuller in length, landing around middle and leg. Linde gets the front leg out of the way and has a swipe across the line. He is early into the shot and the ball sneaks under the blade. It brushes the back pad before clipping the off pole. 4th wicket of the night for Varun.

Nearly sneaked through! Skidding through, short and on middle. Bosch hurriedly drops his bat down on the ball. Ekes out an inside edge that goes behind square on the leg side for a single.

SIX! That has gone many a mile! Chakaravarthy gives the ball air, fuller and on off. Marco makes use of his long levers and gets down on a knee to get the elevation. Clubs it way over long for a six.

SIX! And again! Chakaravarthy drags the length back, but this sits up to be hit, on off. Jansen waits on the back foot and muscles it with a flat bat over wide long on for another six.

Change of angle from Varun. From around the wicket, fired across the batter. Marco has a swing at it and ends up miscuing it off an inside edge through mid-wicket. Jansen keeps the strike with a single. 21 runs off Chakaravarthy's final over.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! India get the review right and this is a crushing blow to the Proteas. Bumrah rolls his fingers over the ball and keeps it full, outside off. Jansen gets low and stays leg side of the ball. He tries to thrash it through the off side but is undone by the slowness of the delivery. It is gathered behind by Sanju Samson. A muted appeal from Jasprit Bumrah but he gets no support from anyone else. Samson checks with the skipper regarding the number of reviews. Suryakumar Yadav wants to take a chance. The UltraEdge shows a scratch when the ball is next to the bat and while the bat did hit the turf, it was after the ball had passed the blade. The on-field decision is reversed. Jansen falls for 14.

Nails the yorker, on middle and leg. Lungi Ngidi gets his bat down to keep it out.

Banged in short, over off, Ngidi ducks under it.

Pace off and into the surface, over off. Ngidi backs away and makes a late attempt of the upper cut. As a result, he misses.

Bumrah goes short but takes pace off, over middle. Lungi sits under it.

Another off-cutter from Bumrah, on a length, on middle and leg. Ngidi swings away on the leg side and gets it wide of deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs.

Slower, short ball, pushed across the batter. Bosch is way early into the pull as he looks to drag it away and ends up missing.

Wide! Too high this time, well over the batter's head. Corbin lets it pass.

Arshdeep switches to around the wicket and this is angled in, on a shortish length, on middle. Corbin picks the slower ball and hammers it to deep mid-wicket. He refuses the single.

Pace on this time from Arshdeep, fuller and on leg. Bosch whips it with his bottom hand but fails to get it wide enough of deep mid-wicket. With the second run not being a possibility, he does not run.

FOUR! Sloppy from Sundar! Full and slanting into the pads, Bosch wrists it to deep mid-wicket. Washington Sundar sprints to his left in the deep and gets his hands out in front. He fails to get low enough and ends up overrunning the ball. Washington is beaten to his right as the ball goes behind into the fence.

Low full toss, at the sticks, smacked down to long on, where the sub fielder, Shahbaz Ahmed runs to his left from long on and slides to cut it off. He keeps the batters down to a single. Shahbaz is on for Tilak Varma, who has gone off to be attended for cramps.

Arshdeep bashes the hard length and cramps Lungi for room as he backs away. Ngidi ends up fending it wide of mid off.

Nearly carried! Off-cutter from Bumrah, on a good length, outside off. Corbin Bosch extends his hands and swings for the hills. The ball grazes the outside edge and Sanju Samson dives in front to get his gloves under the ball but it drops just in front.

This dips on the batter, very full, outside off. Corbin has a hoick across the line but is beaten all ends up by the slower one.

Slightly quicker, full and near the tramline on off. Corbin Bosch gets closer to the line and attempts the reverse but gets hit on the pads.

Pace off and into the surface, over off, Bosch gets his hands high and pulls it to the left of deep square leg for a couple of runs.

At 138.1 kph, angled in at the toes. Bosch jams it out back to Bumrah.

End of a fine spell from Bumrah! He finishes with figures of 4-0-17-2. Nails the yorker, on middle and leg. Bosch digs it out in front of square on the leg side and picks up a single.

Flat and short, darted in, on middle. Bosch pulls it through mid-wicket and crosses over.

DROPPED, FOUR! Washington Sundar has not had a great day in the field. Tossed up, around leg, Ngidi clears the front leg and plays the slog sweep. It is skied towards deep mid-wicket, where Sundar settles under it and tries to take the catch over his left shoulder but the ball bursts through and trickles behind into the fence.

A big swing and a miss! Abhishek offers flight, full and around off, Ngidi goes hard on the slog sweep but is beaten by the flight and connects with thin air.

Drops it short, on middle, Lungi goes deep in the crease and swings a bit too hard. He loses his shape in the process and mistimes it to long on for one.

SIX! Hardik Pandya's effort goes in vain. Looped up by Abhishek, full and on off. Bosch gets down on a knee to get the elevation. Pumps it down the ground towards long off. Hardik moves to his right and stays side on. Tries to take the catch with his right hand with a leap but the ball hits his wrist and goes beyond the fence.

Pushed through, shorter and on off, Bosch firms it on the bounce back towards the bowler. Abhishek gets a hand to it before the ball parries away towards mid off for a single. India win by 30 runs and seal the series 3-1!
