IND vs SA 1st T20I Live Updates: Match Summary

 

India won the first match of the three-match series by eight wickets as Suryakumar Yadav and KL Rahul hit half-centuries while Arshdeep took 3-32 in his four overs and Deepak Chahar bowled well too. 

 

While chasing a total of 107, India did not start well at all as the South African bowlers were on fire and reduced India to 16-1 in the first six overs which is the lowest powerplay score for the men in blue in the history of T20Is. Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli failed big time. However, Suryakumar Yadav came with an attacking internet and changed the courts of the game. 

 

Surya, alongside KL Rahul, added an unbeaten 93 off just 63 balls to win the game for India. 

 

Earlier in the evening, after losing the toss and being asked to bat first, South Africa were reduced to 9-5 before Aiden Markram and Wayne Parnell provided some sort of momentum to the innings. However, it was Keshav Maharaj with his 41 that got South Africa past 100 and made sure that the team did not get bowled out

9:28 PM

IND vs SA 1st T20I Live Updates:

 

Anrich Nortje is into the attack 

 

Ball 1 Wicket!! That was a decent ball outside off and Kohli went for the big shot anyways and gets caught by de Kock behind the stumps as he managed to only get an edge. 

 

Ball 2 Dot ball as it hits Surya on the body 

 

Ball 3 Six!! The attack is the best form of defence and Surya went for an all-out attack and gets a top edge that goes over the third-man for a six 

 

Ball 4 Six!! Nortje lacks in length and gets flicked over deep fine leg for a huge six 

 

Ball 5 Huge appeal for LWB but once again it is about the impact and it seems to be outside off or umpire's call as the ball did hit Surya on the pads who was going across to play the shot. South Africa have gone for the review, but it seems like they will lose it as it is bat first 

 

Ball 6 A dot ball will end an eventful over 

 

India Live Score 29-2 after 07 overs

 

9:24 PM

IND vs SA 1st T20I Live Updates: Nortje gets Kohli

9:21 PM

IND vs SA 1st T20I Live Updates: South Africa show control

Ball 1 Parnell starts with an in-swinger to Kohli who plays it to square leg for no runs 

 

Ball 2 Dot ball as Kohli tries to tap and run 

 

Ball 3 Flirting with an outside-off delivery was Kohli once again, luckily gets no edge 

 

Ball 4 Great fielding from Rabada at deep fine leg as shot from Kohi could fetch him only one 

 

Ball 5 Driven to covers for no runs 

 

Ball 6 And that would mean another over with only a single. Powerplay ends 

 

India Live Score 17-1 after 06 overs

 

9:16 PM

IND vs SA 1st T20I Live Updates: South Africa lose review

 

Rabada is into the attack 

 

Ball 1 And Rabada continues to surprise the Indian batters with his length 

 

Ball 2 Four!! Edged and just over the slip cordon for a four. Moral victory for the bowler 

 

Ball 3 South Africa have kept three slips in position and they might just come in use 

 

Ball 4 This is one fiery spell from Rabada as he almost broke Rahul’s fingers there 

 

Ball 5 That was impact outside off as that was the only way that it was given not out because the ball hit the pads plumb and were definitely going to hit the stumps. A review has been taken by Bavuma 

 

And South Africa lose the review as the impact was clearly outside off 

 

Ball 6 And another great over comes to an end 

 

India Live Score 16-1 after 05 overs

 

9:11 PM

Ball 2 Once again outside off and no shot offered 

 

Ball 3 This one was too much outside off but Parnell is making sure that he is not letting Rahul’s bat make contact with the ball 

 

Ball 4 Huge appeal for LBW, but South Africa don’t go for review on this one 

 

Ball 5 Dot ball 

 

Ball 6 Finally a single off the last ball 

 

India Live Score 12-1 after 04 overs

 

9:09 PM

IND vs SA 1st T20I Live Updates: Rabada bowls Test match length

 

Rabada is into the attack 

 

Ball 1 Good length ball outside off 

 

Ball 2 Wicket!! That was a great reflex from de Kock as the ball edged Rohit in a perfect Test match way as he just could not get the bat away in time and the ball could have gone to slips, but de Kock made sure that he took it one-handed. India lose their first wicket as Rohit goes for nought 

 

Ball 3 Rabada also made Kohli feel for the ball here 

 

Ball 4 Dot ball 

 

Ball 5 Once again, outswing from Rabada, but the length was driveable and Kohli drove it in the air and away from the in-field to gather two runs 

 

Ball 6 And again the Test ball length, just going past Kohli’s bat into the gloves of de Kock 

 

India Live Score 11-1 after 03 overs

 

9:05 PM

IND vs SA 1st T20I Live Updates: Rohit out for duck

 

Rabada is into the attack

9:02 PM

IND vs SA 1st T20I Live Updates: Eventful over comes to an end

 

Parnell is into the attack 

 

Ball 1 Wide down the leg and de Kock does well to save it from going for a four, but in the process, seems to have injured himself 

 

Ball 1 In-swinging delivery from Parnell, but Rahul plays it off the pads and in the gap and gets two runs 

 

Ball 2 Four leg byes. On the pads and the ball goes down the leg. Well it has been given runs off the bat of Rahul 

 

Ball 3 Huge appeal for LWB as Bavuma discusses height with de Kock and eventually goes for the review. 

 

It looks plumb out as the ball is hitting the pads, the question is of the impact and the impact says that it was the umpire’s call which was not out  

 

Ball 4 That would be another wide down the leg 

 

Ball 4 Dot ball as finally Parnell bowls it in line with the ball 

 

Ball 5 Another ball on good line and length and Rahul leaves it 

 

Ball 6 And a dot ball will end an eventful over here 

 

India Live Score 9-0 after 02 overs

 

8:55 PM

IND vs SA 1st T20I Live Updates: Brilliant first over

 

Rabada is into the attack

Ball 4 Well fielded at the backward point to save some runs 

 

Ball 5 Once again nicely bowled, drawing KL Rahul into the shot 

 

Ball 6 And a dot ball will make it a maiden over first up

8:52 PM

IND vs SA 1st T20I Live Updates: First innings summary

 

India bowled brilliantly to bring the Proteas down to 9-5 with Arshdeep Singh taking three wickets in one over. Aiden Markram and Keshav Maharaj showed some resolve as they hit 25 and 41 respectively and combined with Wayne Parnell's 24, took South Africa to 106-8 eventually. For India, Arshdeep took 3-32 while Deepak Chahar and Harshal Pate took two wickets each. 

 

8:39 PM

IND vs SA 1st T20I Live Updates: South Africa score 106-8

 

Harshal Patel is into the attack 

 

Ball 1 Too high and too wide, would be called a wide 

 

Ball 1 Wicket!! That would be it, a great cameo from Maharaj ends with a  slow in-dipping yorker which he misses out on 

 

Ball 2 Anrich Nortje starts his innings with a shot in the gap, but Rabada sends him back for a second and only one run is taken 

 

Ball 3 That would be another wide outside off. It is very difficult to understand why Harshal would attempt wide yorkers to tailenders 

 

Ball 3 This time the wide yorker is executed well. Dot ball 

 

Ball 4 Fuller length ball, played to deep mid-wicket for a single 

 

Ball 5 Hit hard down the ground for only a single 

 

Ball 6 A single will end the over and the Proteas innings which have been saved from the humiliation of being bowled out.

IND vs SA 1st T20I Live Updates: Proteas reach the 100 mark

 

Arshdeep Singh is into the attack 

 

Ball 1 Four!! That’s interesting from Maharaj as it was very pre-meditated and Arshdeep still bowled the yorker as Maharaj played the reverse ramp for a four 

 

Ball 2 Six!! Maharaj is hellbent on getting the Proteas past the 100 run total as he backs away and cuts this short and wide ball for a six over third-man 

 

Ball 3 Fuller length, played down the ground for a single 

 

Ball 4 Yorker length delivery and played to deep mid-wicket for a single by Rabada 

 

Ball 5 Four!! With all the field on the off side up, Arshdeep bowls a length ball which is driven with pure class by Maharaj through the covers for a four 

 

Ball 6 Single off the last ball would mean 100 is up for Proteas and Maharajh would have the strike for the last over as well.
