SA 115-8 (19 Ovs) vs India | SCORECARD

Harshit Rana is brought back into the attack, and Aiden Markram greets him with a boundary. He follows it up with a huge six to bring up a well-made fifty off 41 balls. A miscued cut drops safely at point for a single. Rana then nails a perfect yorker. Nortje looks to whip it through midwicket, gets his back leg out of the way, and a leg bye is called. Markram finishes the over with another towering six, before a single ends an excellent over for South Africa. Nineteen runs come from it, taking the total to 111 for 7 after 18 overs.

Arshdeep Singh returns. A wide, low full toss at 134 kph is squeezed for a single as Markram clears his front leg. Nortje flicks one to deep point for a run. Then the breakthrough -- caught! Markram edges one through to Jitesh Sharma. Arshdeep removes the South African skipper again, a crucial strike at the death. Markram departs for a fighting 61 off 46 balls.
