South Africa captain Temba Bavuma won the toss and opted to bat first in the low-scoring clash, where both teams failed to cross even 200-run mark across four innings. Jasprit Bumrah clinched a fifer to bundle the Proteas for 159 runs in the first innings. Later, India piled up 189 runs, earning a lead of 30 runs.

With a four-wicket haul by Ravindra Jadeja, India bowled out the Proteas for 153 runs in the second innings, where Temba Bavuma (55*) scored the only half-century of the entire game.
