SA 30-4 (7 Ovs) vs India | SCORECARD

Harshit Rana continues, and Aiden Markram welcomes him with a boundary. He then drives the next delivery to point for a single. Tristan Stubbs pushes one towards cover but finds the fielder, before turning one to square leg for a run. Markram caps the over with another boundary and a single to finish it off. 11 runs come from the over, taking South Africa to 25 for 3 after six overs.

Hardik Pandya comes on immediately after the Powerplay. Markram starts cautiously, defending the first ball before picking up a single. Stubbs pulls one away for two, followed by a couple more runs.

Then the breakthrough -- edged and taken! A thick outside edge flies through to Jitesh Sharma, who takes a comfortable catch behind the stumps. Hardik strikes in his first over to claim his 100th T20I wicket. Stubbs departs for 9 off 13 balls, and India continue to dominate the field.
