October 18, 2015  20:06

India 159-2 (34 ovs) vs SA 270-7 | Scorecard


Behardien slips down the leg side as Dhoni tickles it fine, for a four, to take India past the 150-run mark, in the 31st over.

South Africa seem desperate to break the stand as they bring back Tahir, who has the ability to take wickets in the middle overs.

He makes a good start in his comeback over, his fifth, conceding just a single off the second ball to Kohli, while Dhoni defends the rest of the over.

Bowling changes in plenty as Rabada is called into the attack. The first ball is on the pads as Kohli taps it to square leg for one before Dhoni again sees of the rest of the over.

Just two runs from the last two overs as South Africa try to pile up the pressure and force the Indian batsmen into a mistake or two.

Kohli finally gets to the half-century mark, his first after 12 innings. He takes a single from the fifth ball of Tahir's sixth over to get to the landmark, from 64 balls.

India have scored just 11 runs from the last four overs to reach 159 for two in 34 overs.
