Axar's double strike brings India back in the hunt

October 14, 2015 19:25

SA 141-4 (26 ovs) vs India 247-9 | Scorecard

AB de Villiers walks out to a loud cheer from the Indore crowd. Bhuvneshwar comes back for another spell, taking over from Yadav, who was hit for three fours in his previous over.

He starts with four dot balls before du Plessis creams one through the covers for a four. He takes a risky single from the last ball to complete his fifty, from 51 balls, to keep South Africa in control of the run chase.

In his next over, Axar claims the key wicket of du Plessis. The right-hander comes down the track but is unable to get it over Kohli in the covers, who takes a good high catch.

Du Plessis walks back for 51 as SA are reduced to 141 for four after 26 overs. The double strike by Axar has brought India right back into the contest with 107 runs more needed from 24 overs.
