IND vs SA 1st T20I live streaming: Where to watch today's cricket match?

India posted a competitive 175/6 in the opening T20I against South Africa in Cuttack, recovering effectively after early setbacks. The innings began on a nervous note as Shubman Gill departed for 4, and Lungi Ngidi struck again to remove skipper Suryakumar Yadav for 12, leaving India struggling at 18/2. Tilak Verma and Abhishek Sharma attempted to stabilise the innings, but both fell after brief starts, with Abhishek managing 9 and Tilak contributing 26 before Ngidi completed his three-wicket haul.

 

At 78/4, India needed a partnership, and Axar Patel (21) joined Hardik Pandya to inject some momentum. Axar’s dismissal in the 14th over brought Shivam Dube to the crease, but he too fell for 11, bowled by Donovan Ferreira. Throughout the middle overs, Hardik kept India afloat with a clean-hitting display, accelerating sharply with a flurry of boundaries, including a 17-run burst against Nortje.

 

 

The momentum swung decisively in India’s favour during the 19th over when Hardik and Jitesh Sharma combined to take 18 runs off Sipamla. Hardik’s blistering 59 off 28 balls, featuring powerful strokes across the ground, ensured India ended strongly. Despite regular wickets, India’s late-innings surge lifted them to a defendable total, setting up an intriguing chase for South Africa.

South Africa skipper Aiden markram won the toss and decided to bowl first on the night  Both skippers after the toss:  Aiden Markram: We're going to bowl first. Expecting conditions to be good here in India. Quite a bit of dew around, might be a constant throughout the game but might get a bit worse later. (Quick turnaround time between formats) It's the way things work, lot of the games end up playing in the mind, need to get yourself in the right frame of mind. Fantastic build-up to the World Cup. From a conditions point of view, it's going to be great. Can't simulate this in South Africa, looking to make the most of it.  Suryakumar Yadav: We were a little confused looking at the wicket, it was looking a bit greener yesterday. Happy to bat first, want to make the most of it and defend. It (dew) becomes a little challenging for the bowlers, it is going to remain for a really long time. Let's not think about it, have it as a challenge. We had a good series in Australia, now we play against South Africa and then against New Zealand. It's good preparation. Want to enjoy it. It's a good headache to have. The guys missing out are Sanju Samson, Kuldeep Yadav, Washington Sundar and Harshit Rana.
