Ruturaj Gaikwad (23), Shreyas Iyer (36), Rishabh Pant (29) and Hardik Pandya (31) were the top scorers. So the Indian team scored 211 runs at the end of 20 overs.

Batting next, South Africa won by 202 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in 19.3 overs, with Rossi van der Dusen top-scored with 75 and David Miller with 64.

Following this, Hardik Pandya faced the last ball and scored only 2 runs. Dinesh Karthik smashed sixes and fours in the last over of several matches in the ongoing IPL series. So it was expected that he would beat like this in yesterday's match as well. But Hardik Pandya's single did not give a kick to Dinesh Karthik, which is getting criticism from the fans.
