India vs South Africa: WICKET!

Hardik Pandya is also gone! A short ball from Lungi Ngidi and Hardik hit the ball into the hands of fine leg fielder Kagiso Rabada. It is another good catch from Rabada as he dived to his front to take the catch inches before it could touch the ground.

IND 49/5 (8.3)

India vs South Africa: WICKET!

Deepak Hooda is gone and South Africa are all over India. Their pacers are literally throwing venom and the Indian batters are looking clueless. India are four down with Anrich Nortje claiming the wicket of Hooda. 

IND 42/4 (7.3)

India vs South Africa: WICKET! Kohli is gone!

Lungi Ngidi strikes again! He has got the wicket of Virat Kohli and this is a huge blow to India. It was a bouncer from Ngidi and Kohli tried to take him on but a mishit saw Kagiso Rabada taking a really good catch near deep fine leg boundary. 

IND 41/3 (6.5)

India vs South Africa: FOUR!

Another four from Kohli’s bat. He is in terrific touch this World Cup. Ngidi bowled it on the pads of Kohli and the India batter hit it between the deep mid-wicket and mid-on fielder for a four. The deep mid-wicket fielder did give a run but Kohli had placed the ball well in the gap. 

IND 41/2 (6.2)

India vs South Africa: FOUR!

On the rise that’s a beautiful cover drive from Virat Kohli. He is the man in form and this shot speaks volumes about his confidence.

IND 37/2 (6.1)

India vs South Africa: WICKET!

Another one bites the dust! KL Rahul is also gone and India are in some real trouble now. What an over that was from Ngidi. He conceded only 5 runs in it and claimed the wickets of both the Indian openers Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul.

IND 26/2 (5)

India vs South Africa: WICKET!

Lungi Ngidi has provided South Africa the first breakthrough in the game. Rohit Sharma falls for 15. It was a short ball from Ngidi and Rohit failed on the pull only to give a return catch to the bowler. 

IND 23/1 (4.2)

India vs South Africa: FOUR!

A full toss from Kagiso Rabada on the pads of Rohit Sharma and the India skipper flicked it for a four towards the backward square leg boundary. However, India are still scoring at a rate of less than 6 runs per over.

IND 20/0 (3.4)

India vs South Africa: KL Rahul injured

KL Rahul has been hit by a Wayne Parnell delivery on his abdomen. There has been a short break in the game as physio is checking Rahul… Okay, we are set to resume now.

IND 14/0 (2.5)

India vs South Africa: SIX!

This is a brilliant shot from KL Rahul. Wayne Parnell bowled it in the slot and Rahul picked it from the front foot for a six over cow corner. This is how you expect him to play in such conditions where the ball is coming so nicely to the bat.

IND 12/0 (2.2)

India vs South Africa: SIX!

First run for India! A short ball from Kagiso Rabada and Rohit Sharma pulls it over fine leg for a six. This is a superb shot from the India skipper as you need to take your chances, especially with the shots you are good at.

IND 6/0 (1.4)

India vs South Africa: Maiden first over

An extremely cautious approach from KL Rahul this is. He has played a maiden first over against Wayne Parnell. The Indian batter looked clueless during the over and South Africa must be happy with it.

IND 0/0 (1)

India vs South Africa: It’s game time!

KL Rahul takes the strike, Rohit Sharma is at the other end. Wayne Parnell has the new ball in hand. Here we go!
