Miller, van der Dussen see off India challenge in high-scoring contest (ESPNcricinfo.com)

South Africa 212 for 3 (van der Dussen 75*, Miller 64*) beat India 211 for 4 (Kishan 76, Shreyas 36, Parnell 1-32) by seven wickets.

It was expected that Miller would be the batter to keep South Africa in the game - given his impressive IPL - and he did exactly that. It was expected that Miller would be the batter to keep South Africa in the game - given his impressive IPL - and he did exactly that. But van der Dussen, oft-criticised for his slow scoring rate, could not get the ball away as regularly until he broke the toe-end of his bat and had to change it for another. Kishan was on 52 and went on to add 24 more to his score, most of it off Maharaj. The very next ball, there was an opportunity to run out Rishabh Pant for a duck at the non-striker's end, when he wanted to sneak a run but collided with Rabada. Stubbs lobbed the ball over the fielder backing-up at that end. Pretorius swung hard and got the short, full, and length ball over the leg side before Harshal broke through his defences with a slower ball and took out off stump. Then, three balls past the halfway mark, Maharaj shortened his length as he sawShreyas Iyercoming down the track and Quinton de Kock had an opportunity to stump him, but could not break the wicket in time. He slayed the short ball, advanced down the track to hit Shamsi for six three times, and then belted Maharaj through the leg-side for 20 runs off four balls before successfully reviewing an lbw call. The first came immediately after the powerplay when Gaikwad pulled a hip-high short ball from Parnell to Pretorius at long leg.

South Africa pulled off their highest successful chase in T20I cricket, and denied India a record 13th successive T20I victory, despite being a batter light in the series opener.

India versus South Africa: In a lost cause, India's T20 batting formula ... (The Indian Express)

Indian batsmen led by Ishan Kishan embraced an ultra-aggressive approach from the word go.

The most perceptible difference was in how they approached the middle-overs (overs 7 to 16), usually the quietest phase of a T20 innings, when batsmen wait for loose balls and motor on with a stream of singles to build the platform for the death overs. Earlier, Shreyas showed he was undaunted by the propensity to get out to wrist spinners and smoked Shamsi for a brace of sixes in an over. Greed ushered in his downfall, but in the world of the gluttonous, better be greedy. From the sixth to the 11th over, they plundered 76 runs in six overs, of which only one had fielder restriction. Gaikwad weaved away a touch from the line of the ball and hooked it. He missed—Rabada was shrewd to pick the cues his feet betrayed—and looked witless.
