SA 213-5 (41 ovs) vs India | Scorecard


AB de Villiers is out in the middle and immediately Dhoni calls on Harbhajan. The South Africa captain comes down and tries to heave it over midwicket but fails to connect, but he gets the next ball over the off-side for a four.

But a huge misunderstanding between the two batsmen gets India another wicket. De Villiers hits it to midwicket and sets off for a run but his partner de Kock is slow to start off and is run out by a long way.

A tired de Kock walks back after a good innings of 103 from 119 balls, having hit 11 fours and a six.

Axar comes back and strikes with the big wicket of de Villiers, who is trapped leg before wicket for four. The right-hander went right back to hit it through the off-side but was struck on the pads before he got his bat down to be trapped leg before wicket.

South Africa have lost three wickets for five runs in the space of nine deliveries to be reduced to 210 for five, in the 41st over.

In the same over, J P Duminy survived a leg before wicket appeal as he went for a sweep but was struck on the pads.

A good comeback from Axar, giving away just three runs while picking up the wicket of AB.
