Shami added to Indiaโs account of wickets early on as he picked the Proteas skipper Temba Bavuma. In his final over though, with just six to defend, Miller gloved one and touched another with his bat to get two boundaries and finish the game. The off spinner had trapped Markram in playing one straight to Virat Kohli at deep midwicket, but the 33-year-old couldnโt complete a regulation take. Despite wickets falling at the other end, the 32-year-old kept his nerve and guided India to a 127 before being picked by Wayne Parnell.

South Africa in reply, chased down the total with two balls to spare and five wickets in hand.
