In the second over of South Africa’s innings, Jasprit Bumrah made an impact by dismissing Reeza Hendricks with a perfect delivery. This was followed by Aiden Markram edging behind off Arshdeep Singh’s bowling, resulting in quick wickets for India. Despite these setbacks, Quinton de Kock continued his fine form and combined with Tristan Stubbs to put on a partnership of 58 runs off just 38 balls.
Unfortunately for South Africa, Stubbs was bowled by Axar Patel for 31, bringing Heinrich Klaasen to the crease with the team still needing over 100 runs to win. De Kock’s valiant effort came to an end when he was caught by Kuldeep Yadav off Arshdeep’s bowling for 39 runs. This wicket dealt a blow to South Africa’s chase as they struggled to keep up with the required run rate.
