SA 49-1 (13 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Thakur goes short as Malan easily pulls it to fine leg for one and de Kock clips the next off his pads for another run.

Malan hits the next two balls to the fielders on the off-side before he gets a single off the last ball.

Bishnoi from the other end as Malan drives the first ball fora  single through point.

De Kock reverse sweeps the next but straight to short thirdman and is beaten next ball trying the same shot.

He sweeps the fourth ball fine on the leg side for two runs and clips the fourth fifth ball wide of long-on for another couple of runs.

De Kock tries another reverse sweep but is beaten and struck on the pads.

Thakur makes the breakthrough with the wicket of Malan, who is caught by Shreyas Iyer at midwicket for a sedate 22 from 42 balls.

The ball seemed to have held a bit as Malan couldn't time the flick and Iyer took a well-judged overhead catch.

An important outing for captain Temba Bavuma, who struggled in the T20 series.

Bavuma has a close shave as he gets a thick inside edge back on to his pads and he keeps out the last two balls as Thakur bowls a wicket maiden.
