India vs South Africa Live Score 1st T20I: SA rebuild dented as ... (Hindustan Times)

India vs South Africa 1st T20I Live Score: Rohit Sharma's men ran riot in the powerplay and dented SA's recovery by dismissing Aiden Markram.

Because there is grass there might be some help with the new ball for pacers up front and there is a bit of dew, so the captains will have a watch." Deepak Chahar has the ball in his hands. Arshdeep Singh gets a wicket with his 2nd ball of the match, what a start for India! Extra bounce from Chahar and the ball shoots up off the edge, third man comes in and takes the catch. Markram seems to be the only standing between South Africa and utter batting ruin. That is the end for Parnell and he has eaten up a lot of deliveries here. Not a great delivery from Harshal but Maharaj does well to readjust, get bat on it and actually find the gap. Single after that boundary and Maharaj has led South Africa to a three digit score at least. The home fans applaud Maharaj as he walks off, he may have given them a match to watch here. Rabada comes back for the fourth and, get this, there are three slips in place for him. That is just sheer pace doing the batter's job.

South Africa comes into the series on the back of a 2-0 sweep of Ireland and a 2-1 win over England in T20Is. The series will mark the return of captain Temba Bavuma, whose last match for South Africa was in June at Rajkot, where he sustained an elbow injury. While India’s batting remains largely untouched with the management keen to give its batters as much game time as possible ahead of the T20 World Cup, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Hardik Pandya will miss the series to manage their workload.

Guys always enjoy the India trip, the energy of the guys is up again and nice to be back in action after a couple of months. A full house is expected for the match. Chahar sends in a cracking in-swinger that rushes through the gates to hit the stumps. India’s first World Cup match is scheduled for October 23 and South Africa’s the following day. Very healthy atmosphere in the group and we also want to make sure to tick all the boxes and so far we have been doing good and we just want to continue to do that. Arshdeep to de Kock from the opposite end. He falls for a golden duck and Chahar is on a hat-trick! Short and wide from Chahar and Stubbs sends it straight to the third-man fielder! Chahar overpitches and Markram steps out to drive through square for FOUR. Rapped on the pads and Harshal appeals. Short from Harshal and Markram slams the ball over deep mid-wicket for a massive SIX. Ashwin mixes up his deliveries with the carrom ball and slider in play.

"I'm here to make sure the guys are in the best space possible going into that big World Cup tournament. That's obviously a challenge you have to manoeuvre around," the South African white-ball skipper said on the eve of the opening T20I. We expect this to be a good series, a competitive one as well.
