Opting to bat first after winning the toss, team India faced early setbacks with in-form skipper Rohit Sharma getting out for mere 9 runs in just the second over.

Shortly after, Rishabh Pant returned to the Indian dugout for a duck in the same over, and Suryakumar Yadav, one of the best T20I batters in the world, could only contribute 3 runs, putting India in a challenging position early in the match.

Virat Kohli and Axar Patel, together, built a partnership of 72 runs in 54 balls to steady the Indian innings. Virat played a remarkable knock of 76 runs in 59 balls with help of 6 fours and 2 sixes. Whereas, Axar scored 47 runs in 31 balls with help of 1 four and 4 sixes. India scored a decent 176/7.

In response, South Africa were all out for 169/8, losing the summit clash to India by 7 runs. Hardik Pandya took 3 wickets. Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh contributed with 2 wickets each, while Axar Patel bagged 1 wicket.
