While chasing 172, South Africa lost opener Reeza Hendricks (4) and skipper Aiden Markram (4) inside the first six overs as they reached 42/2. Wicket-keeper batter Quinton de Kock (39) and Tristan Stubbs (31) stitched 58 runs as they reached 101/3 after the end of first 12 overs.

However, hard-hitter Heinrich Klaasen played the crucial knock of 52 runs before India vice-captain Hardik Pandya removed him. In the 20th over of the match, Suryakumar Yadav took a mind-blowing catch of David Miller at the boundary line, which helped India seal the game. At the end India won the game by seven runs.
