After forfeiting the three-match series in Australia, the maximum number of points available to them from here is 80: 30 vs India, 30 vs England and 20 vs Netherlands. The World Cup is in India. South Africa are not deploying any of their players to Australia for the T20 World Cup early, so will have their full-strength squad at their disposal. Although more than a year away, the 2023 World Cup will be driving Dhawan, and if he wants to be absolutely sure of a spot, a good time to start piling on the runs is now. However, India have played two T20Is at the ground and put up totals of 195 and 199, which may indicate differently. With two ducks and a score of 3 from the T20I series, his form is a major concern; but the longer white-ball format may just give him the opportunity to turn things around. In that time, Rohit (2), Rahul (3) and Kohli (2) have scored seven hundreds between them. South Africa may just emerge from the submarine for long enough to remember that was the last ODI series they won, and try to use it as an inspiration for this one.

Miller and Klaasen then took the attack to the opposition. Miller played sensibly and dispatched the loose balls to the boundary to record his 18th half-century off 50 balls with the help of four boundaries and one hit over the fence. De Kock scored 48 off 54 balls with the help of five boundaries before he was trapped in front of the wicket by Bishnoi as South Africa slumped to 110 for 4 in the 23rd over. In the reserves for the T20 World Cup squad, Iyer helped his cause with a 37-ball 50 and together with Sanju Samson shared 67 runs for the fifth wicket to keep India in the hunt. Ishan Kishan and debutant Ruturaj Gaikwad then tried to stabilise the innings with a 48-run partnership for the third wicket before the latter was stumped by Quinton de Kock off the bowling of Tabraiz Shamsi as India slumped to 48 for 3 in 16.4 overs. Chasing a stiff target of 250, Samson (86 not out off 63 balls) and Iyer (50 off 37 balls) struck fifties, while Shardul Thakur (33 off 31 balls) used the long handle to good effect towards the end but it was not enough in the end.

“Rain has gotten heavier here in Lucknow and the toss has been delayed. India and South Africa have faced each other on 87 occasions in ODI cricket. No update on when the toss will take place though. The visitors will certainly be the happier of the two sides. Inside edge from De Kock and it misses the stumps to behind the batter for a boundary. Ngidi pitches it at length but Kishan slices it square of the wicket for another four. Ngidi pitches it at length, slightly wide of the off stump. The batter plays it straight to Kagiso Rabada at mid-on. He then passes the strike back to Samson in the following delivery. Lungi Ngidi concedes eight runs but picks two wickets to give South Africa the edge in a tight contest. Bishnoi finishes the over with a four as IND reach 220/8 after 39 overs.

India went for the review but it was umpire’s call and the ball was pitching outside off but was clipping the top of the off-stump. Short and wide ball from Ngidi and Gaikwad cuts it over point for a boundary to break the shackles. The lines have been excellent from the Indian fast bowlers and they have induced a couple of inside edges but have been unlucky to knock off the stumps. A huge gap between the gap and the pad and Bavuma’s poor run with the bat continues. That will boost a lot of confidence as the ball spins back after slightly leaving the batsman and sneaks between the bat and pad to clip the top of the off-stump. Three from the over and a wicket. Iyer gets one in his arc from Shamsi and plays it down the ground for a boundary. Ball turns in and straightens to hit Samson on the pad and umpires gives him out LBW only to see the decision overturned after a successful DRS from the batter. Sprayed down the leg side by Ngidi and Iyer flicks it to deep backward square leg for a boundary. IND 145/5 after 30 overs: Shamsi sprays one way down the leg side, Samson and Thakur steal a couple as the short leg fielder chases the ball. Slightly short from Maharaj and Iyer plays a delicate cut that goes all the way to the fence. Thakur anticipates the length and scoops it over the keeper’s head for a boundary.

flighted delivery on off, he gets a good stride forward and then clobbers it back over the bowler's head, one bounce and over the ropes. Winning captain - A good fight at the end, obviously Sanju pushed us at the end, but the boys stood firm and took us to the win. I thought Heinrich (Klaasen) came in and absorbed (the pressure) really well and David (Miller) was hitting the ball stupendously and just exploded in the back end and I think that was the difference between us and the Indian side, getting that partnership towards the end. Losing captain - Quite proud of the way the boys played the game, we didn't get a good start, the way Shreyas, Samson and Shardul batted was excellent. But we have worked hard in the nets, I do have a good record against India and looking forward to the rest of the games. Player of the Match - Not at all (when asked if the conditions were easy to bat), the ball was moving a lot and was spinning just before I walked out to the middle.

Shardul Thakur (33 off 31 balls) also played some lusty blows but Lungi Ngidi (3/52) took two wickets in the 38th over to stop India in their tracks. In reply, India slipped to 51 for 4 in 17.4 overs but Sanju Samson took the chase deep with a 63-ball 86 not out but it was not enough as they ended at 240 for 8. Invited to bat, South Africa posted 249 for 4, riding on fifties from David Miller (75 not out) and Heinrich Klaasen (74 not out) and Quinton de Kock’s 48 after the match was reduced to a 40-over-a-side affair due to wet outfield.
