IND vs SA 1st T20I Live Updates: South Africa register their biggest chase in T20I history

 

Yuzvendra Chahal is into the attack

 

Ball 1 Four!! Reverse sweep by Rassie and it is only fitting that he has won the game for his team after struggling for so long initially. This is also now the highest run chase ever by South Africa in T20 international and it also breaks the Indian winning spree at 12 matches and they could not overtake Romania and Afghanistan as the team with the most consecutive T20I wins in the world.

10:28 PM

IND vs SA 1st T20I Live Updates: All running in South Africa's favour

 

Harshal Patel is into the attack

 

Ball 1 Dot ball. Miller plays the fuller length ball back to the bowler 

 

Ball 2 Miller flicks this off his pads for a single to backward square leg for a single  

 

Ball 3 Dot ball 

 

Ball 4 This one looks plumb LBW although it has been given not out by the umpire and hence Pant has gone for the review. But the review shows that the impact was outside off according to the umpire and hence Rassie survives. It would be two leg byes

 

Ball 5 Four!! Not only does Rassie survives, but he gets a four off the very next ball through an edge as well 

 

Ball 6 A bit of yes and no and still South Africa take a single 

 

South Africa Live Score 208-3 after 19 overs

 

10:22 PM

IND vs SA 1st T20I Live Updates: Rassie vd Dussen riding his luck

 

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is into the attack

 

Ball 1 Six!! In the arc of David Miller and he goes nang over long-on for a six 

 

Ball 2 Wide That has been called a wide by the umpire, but Rishabh Pant, in an effort to maybe break the rhythm of the batters, has gone for the review. Review is wasted as it remains wide 

 

Ball 2 Dot ball. Now this is gold dust from Bhuvi as he has not let the batters get away with runs 

 

Ball 3 Once again hit it to the covers fielder in the circle. But that would only be a single 

 

Ball 4 Six!! Rassie is hitting them like baseball and it seems like he must be seeing them like football 

 

Ball 5 Four!! Edge and over the backward point for a four and now it seems like South Africa will win the game even before the 20th over 

 

Ball 6 Four!! That is luck running in Rassie van der Dussen’s favour as even an edge gets him a four

 

South Africa Live Score 200-3 after 18 overs

 

10:15 PM

IND vs SA 1st T20I Live Updates: Rassie gets to a Fifty

 

Harshal Patel is into the attack

 

Ball 1 Six!! The first ball is on a length and he has dispatched it over deep mid-wicket for a six 

 

Ball 2 Six!! Full toss and this has been hammered over deep fine leg for a huge six. Rassie has joined the party indeed 

 

Ball 3 Four!! He is making a light work of the target now is Rassie. This one was short and he pulled it away for a four 

 

Ball 4 Finally the slower ball from Harshal is here and it deceives Rassie who fails to get a connection. 

 

Ball 5 Six!! Short again and Rassie goes bang as he gets to his fifty, much needed one for his confidence, with a six over deep square leg 

 

Oh dear, Harshal slips in his run-up and thankfully does not land badly as it would have meant the end of his overs at least 

 

Ball 6 Dot of the last ball and Proteas now need only 34 of the last three with two set batters in. Should be easy from here on 

 

South Africa Live Score 178-3 after 17 overs

Ball 2 Dropped!! This was a sitter for someone of Shreyas Iyer’s calibre as Rassie hit it straight into his hands at deep mid-wicket, but he dropped it 

 

Ball 3 Yorker is executed very well by Avesh and he restricts the batters to only a single 

 

Ball 4 Loud appeal for LBW by Avesh Khan but the umpire says no and no review is taken by India either 

 

Ball 5 Four!! David Miller says that he will keep up the fight and he is doing it really well with four overs yet to go

 

Ball 6 Brilliant wide yorker from round the wicket by Avesh and it's a dot ball to end the over 

 

South Africa Live Score 156-3 after 16 overs

 

10:01 PM

IND vs SA 1st T20I Live Updates: Miller hits fifty in 22 balls

Ball 2 Swing and a miss from Miller as he was nowhere in the line of the ball and was swinging the bat like anything 

 

Ball 3 Four!! This time around, Miller does get into the line of the ball and pulls it away for a four to deep mid-wicket 

 

Ball 4 Six!! This one was phenomenal, to say the least. It didn’t look as though he used any power, but the connection was so good it went for a six down the ground 

 

Ball 5 Pulled once again and Miller runs two 

 

Ball 6 Short and slow from Bhuvi and Miller pulls this to deep square leg for a single and brings up his fifty off just 22 balls.

Avesh Khan is into the attack 

 

Ball 1 Wide first ball from Avesh Khan 

 

Ball 1 Dot ball. Rassie here is not moving at all as he plays yet another dot ball here 

 

Ball 2 And another dot ball. It seems like he is playing for the opposition right now because every dot ball that he is playing, is building the pressure on David Miller and other batters that are yet to come 

 

Ball 3 Dot again. Come on you can’t be playing three dots in a row when your team is hashing more than two runs per ball 

 

Rassie has changed the bat. Let’s see if the change in blades also brings a change in approach and fortunes for him 

 

Ball 4 No it does not one bit as he plays the sam shot and it goes to the same player with the only change being him taking a single this time around 

 

Ball 5 In the air and past the bowler for a single to long-off 

 

Ball 6 Four!! Finally, a shot comes off Rassie’s bat as he hits the full ball down the ground and gets a four

Ball 5 Rassie comes down the ground, but only a faint connection would mean just a single

Ball 2 Wide outside off and just inside ethe tramline hence not called a wide 

 

Ball 3 Brilliant bowling from Nortje here as executes a yorker which is dug out by Dinesh Karthik for a single and had Rassie hit the stumps, it would have been all done and dusted for the comeback man Karthik 

 

Ball 4 Six!! Easy peasy for Pandya on the other end though as he waits for the length ball to come to him and hits it for a six over long-off 

 

Ball 5 Pandya refuses a single to Karthik here who has been known for his hitting throughout the IPL this year
