Welcome back for the run-chase! It's a great opportunity for the Proteas to level things in the series but they need to be careful against the new ball. India need to make early inroads if they are to put any sort of pressure on the Protea batters.

Andile Simelane: When Aiden told me that I’m going to bowl, I thought about the options we had and the lengths we want to bowl. We had our plans to Sky. We executed our plans and I’m happy. The coaches told me to back my slower balls and I managed to execute them. (On taking Suryakumar's wicket) Very happy to get a big wicket under my name, it’s something special I will not forget. It’s nice working with them, they told me not to worry. They motivated me and I managed to stay calm.
17:41 Local Time, 15:41 GMT, 21:11 IST: That's an excellent bowling performance by South Africa as they have managed to restrict the T20 World Champions to a mediocre total. India lost Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav very early in the match, and the batters who followed next weren't able to up the ante either. The road to recovery wasn't a smooth one for India as Tilak scored a run-a-ball knock of 20. Axar played an attacking knock, but he was run-out in an unfortunate manner at the bowler's end. Rinku Singh couldn't add anything substantial either, but Hardik Pandya chipped in with a useful contribution towards the end. As a result of Pandya's knock, India managed to breach the 120-run mark.
