Suryakumar Yadav:
It is okay. We have done well in the last two games while batting first. The boys have come out with clear plans and are executing it, I have been really happy with that. Just be clear, go out and enjoy yourself (the message from him and the management). These boys have made my job easier. We have one change - Ramandeep makes his debut. Avesh has done well for us but one of the two bowlers had to make a sacrifice.

Aiden Markram:
We are going to bowl first again. The wicket looks good. Not quite at our best. We are making slow progress. The bowlers did a good job in the last game. The batters need to spend time in the middle and not be too desperate. We have full trust in our batting unit and hope we do something special tonight.

Marco Jansen to Samson, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Second time in two games Jansen has cleaned up Samson in the first over. After consecutive hundreds, it is consecutive ducks for Samson. He has a look at the surface before walking off. Jansen is pumped. This was a good length delivery and Samson stayed rooted to the crease, the ball sneaks through and hits the top of off-stump

Samson b Marco Jansen 0(2)

Gerald Coetzee to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, crunched! Coetzee tries to overcorrect his length. Half volley on off-stump, Abhishek does not have a big stride forward but opens the bat face and creams the drive past a diving Miller at cover-point
1.4
Gerald Coetzee to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, the Indians are targeting the short square boundaries. Second six in that region. Abhishek shimmies down, gives himself room and has enough space to free his arms, flays it over the off-side ring and the ball travels the distance

Marco Jansen to Tilak Varma, leg byes, FOUR, well-directed short ball and it keeps climbing, Tilak takes it on and misses the pull, the ball brushes the helmet and flies over Klaasen. There is certainly uneven bounce on this surface..

Sipamla to Tilak Varma, FOUR, 136.2ks flighted delivery in length, Tilak swivels and pulls it backward of square. Jansen runs to his left and puts in the slide, but the ball slips his grasp and rolls into the rope

Simelane to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, back to back sixes. This is right off the middle. He charges down and gives himself room, gets under the good length delivery and flays it over extra cover. The connection was good and hence no problem clearing the rope
4.2
Simelane to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, short of length delivery on leg-stump, Abhishek takes it on and gets a massive top-edge on the pull shot. The ball flies away onto the grass banks near fine leg

Simelane to Tilak Varma, FOUR, Simelane misses the yorker. He dishes out a low full toss, Tilak does not do anything fancy, just presents the full face of the bat and drives it straight back past the bowler, beats mid-on as well and picks up the boundary

Simelane to Suryakumar Yadav, out Caught by Marco Jansen!! Simelane is chuffed. He's got Suryakumar twice in two games. This is a big blow for India. They have lost wickets in consecutive overs.

Maharaj to Hardik Pandya, FOUR, shot! 95.9ks fraction short around off, Hardik stays leg-side to give himself room and back cuts it through the vacant backward point region. No chance for the sweeper..

10.2
Maharaj to Hardik Pandya, FOUR, misfield and Hardik is off the mark. Flighted delivery around off, Hardik sits down and reaches for the sweep, strikes it powerfully towards deep square leg and Simelane makes a mess
