South Africa off to a flying start in decider

SA 73-1 (10 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Both Bhuvi and Mohit have proved to be very expensive as Dhoni is forced to introduce spin early, in the form of veteran Harbhajan Singh.

He starts off well conceding just a single in his first over with du Plessis getting off the mark from the last delivery, with one to deep midwicket.

Du Plessis gives Bhuvneshwar the charge but is beaten before he hits back to back fours, through thirdman and mid-on respectively.

Only Harbhajan has been able to maintain some sort of control but South Africa it seems are content to play watchfully against him as he gives away just five singles in his second over.

Spin from both ends now as Axar Patel replaces Bhuvneshwar, who bowled a poor first spell of four overs for 31 runs.

Just a single from the first three balls before de Kock sweeps him behind square on the leg side for a four followed by a single as South Africa reach 73 for one in 10 overs.

De Kock has been in attack mode from the start, hitting 35 from 28 balls with the help of seven fours, while du Plessis is on 14 from 19 balls.
