Marco Jansen to Jasprit Bumrah, out Caught by Aiden Markram!! Game over! Off-speed full delivery outside off, Bumrah leans across and chips it straight to extra cover. Captain Markram takes the catch and South Africa have thrashed India by 76 runs. Jasprit Bumrah c Aiden Markram b Marco Jansen 0(1)

Marco Jansen to Shivam Dube, out Caught by Lungi Ngidi!! Knuckle ball on a short of length, Dube looks to play the one-legged pull shot. Gets it off the inner edge and Ngidi moves to his left at short fine leg to take a tumbling catch. Shivam Dube c Lungi Ngidi b Marco Jansen 42(37) [4s-1 6s-3]

Marco Jansen to Shivam Dube, SIX, 114.7kph, off-speed length ball, Dube swings hard and over midwicket. Rickelton moves to his left and tries to reach for it. Hits his fingers and lands over the rope. Markram isn't pleased with that effort

Kagiso Rabada to Shivam Dube, SIX, back-to-back sixes! Rabada pulls his length back a fraction, it's slower as well, Dube swings hard to thump it over long-on

Kagiso Rabada to Shivam Dube, SIX, over the wicket, full and in the slot, Dube clears his front leg to club it over wide long-on. Clean strike from the left-hander

Keshav Maharaj to Arshdeep Singh, out Caught by Tristan Stubbs!! Third wicket in the over for Keshav Maharaj. Flat ball on a length, Arshdeep Singh shimmies down the track and hits it straight to long-on Stubbs takes another catch. Catches it overhead, throws the ball up, goes outside the rope, comes back in and completes the formalities. Arshdeep Singh c Tristan Stubbs b Keshav Maharaj 1(2)

Keshav Maharaj to Rinku Singh, out Caught by Tristan Stubbs!! It's the same pair - Maharaj-Stubbs again. Maharaj bowls it slower and slightly shorter. Rinku has no choice but to go after the bowler. Swings hard and miscues it to the right of long-on. Stubbs runs across and slides to complete another fine catch. Seven down as Rinku goes for a duck and India are staring at a heavy defeat. Rinku Singh c Tristan Stubbs b Keshav Maharaj 0(2)

Keshav Maharaj to Hardik Pandya, out Caught by Tristan Stubbs!! In the air and taken! 95.2kph, fraction short outside off and Hardik backs himself to loft it off the back foot. The timing isn't spot-on as it's off the bottom part of the bat. Stubbs backpedals at long-off to catch it and since the momentum takes him outside the rope, he lobs it up in the air and returns back to take the catch. Stubbs, however, is livid as he was distracted by the spider cam. Hardik Pandya c Tristan Stubbs b Keshav Maharaj 18(17) [6s-1]

Kagiso Rabada to Shivam Dube, FOUR, full and in the slot, Dube doesn't miss out. Clears his front leg, gets under it and tonks it over the bowler's head. The ball bullets away to the fence. First boundary for Dube

Keshav Maharaj to Hardik Pandya, SIX, miscue but six! Flighted ball outside off, Hardik slices the loft and he would have had his heart in his mouth for a moment. Stubbs moves to his left from long-off and dives leaps over the rope to try and flick it back, in vain

Corbin Bosch to Suryakumar Yadav, out Caught by Dewald Brevis!! India have lost half their side! The Indian captain can't believe it. 144.3kph, pacy length ball angling in, Suryakumar walks across to get inside the line to try and whip it backward of square on the leg-side. He ends up toe-ending it to the right of midwicket where Brevis takes a sharp catch. India are in deep trouble. Suryakumar Yadav c Dewald Brevis b Corbin Bosch 18(22) [4s-2]

Corbin Bosch to Washington Sundar, out Caught by Quinton de Kock!! Edged and gone! 142.5kph, pacy away-angling short of length ball, Washington clears his front leg to flay it through the covers. All he manages is an outside edge. Easy grab for the keeper and India are tottering at 43/4. Washington Sundar c Quinton de Kock b Corbin Bosch 11(11) [6s-1]

Keshav Maharaj to Washington Sundar, SIX, 93.3kph, fraction short, the line is just outside leg, Washington gets low and pummels it over deep backward square leg with a big swing of the bat. The six off the final ball spoils Maharaj's over

Keshav Maharaj to Washington Sundar, SIX, 93.3kph, fraction short, the line is just outside leg, Washington gets low and pummels it over deep backward square leg with a big swing of the bat. The six off the final ball spoils Maharaj's over

Jasprit Bumrah is the best bowler I've ever seen: Michael Vaughan

Marco Jansen to Abhishek Sharma, out Caught by Corbin Bosch!! That's gone very high, but it hasn't got any distance under it - two men chase, it's Bosch and Maharaj - they almost collide, the ball almost fell off his grasp, but he manages to hold on and clutches onto his chest. India have been rattled, the crowd in Ahmedabad has been rattled as well. Was the knuckle ball and Abhishek didn't spot it - was through with the shot, the ball came off the inside half and lobbed very high in the air - Bosch ran to his right from mid-wicket, so did Maharaj back from mid-on - no one called, but Bosch eyes was fixed onto the ball and he held on with ease. Abhishek Sharma c Corbin Bosch b Marco Jansen 15(12) [4s-2 6s-1]

Kagiso Rabada to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, nicely played, was the attempted slower ball, but it turns out to be a wide full-toss and Abhishek slices the drive past cover-point -10 off the over

Kagiso Rabada to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, cheeky and six, this is so much better from Abhishek - back of a length and angling across the left-hander, Abhishek waits on it, opens the face of the bat and then uses Rabada's pace to ramp it over the keeper's head - short straight boundary and the ball sails over the ropes

Marco Jansen to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, beautifully played, on a good length and well wide of off - the Indian captain leans across, plays with a slightly open face and then caresses it into the gap wide of cover for a boundary

Marco Jansen to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, nicely played, on a good length and slanting into the pads - Suryakumar Yadav lets the ball come, brings his wrists into play and then drives it into the gap wide of mid-wicket, races away across the fast outfield

Marco Jansen to Tilak Varma, out Caught by Quinton de Kock!! Has Tilak Varma been OUT caught behind? Was a very confident appeal and umpire Chris Gaffaney's finger went up straightaway - the batter isn't so sure though, he reviews and watches a spike on the outside edge on UltraEdge. The original call stays and India have lost two early. Rush of blood and that has cost Tilak his wicket - ran down the pitch, made room and was looking to slap Jansen over mid-off, but it's the extra bounce which goes against him, catches a thin edge and Quinton de Kock does the rest. India lose Tilak and they burn a review as well. Tilak Varma c Quinton de Kock b Marco Jansen 1(2)

Aiden Markram to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, 1st runs of 2026 T20 WC for Abhishek Sharma - a long hop from Markram, dropped it short and wide of off, Abhishek backs away and clatters the cut past point for a boundary

Aiden Markram to Ishan Kishan, out Caught by Ryan Rickelton!! The match-up has worked wonders for South Africa - 4th innings in a row that India has lost one of its openers for a duck. It's not Abhishek Sharma, it's Ishan Kishan instead. Was tossed up slower and drifted away from the left-hander, was the off-break and Kishan was shaping for the almighty slog, swings across the line, plays across the turn and hoists it high towards cover. Rickelton watches it closely, backtracks and completes a fine reverse-cupped catch. Ishan Kishan c Ryan Rickelton b Aiden Markram 0(4)

Hardik Pandya to Tristan Stubbs, SIX, back-to-back sixes and South Africa end with 187. Not sure if Hardik Pandya got his length right here? Another slower short ball that hardly has any venom, Stubbs is camping deep inside the crease, swivels across and thumps it over deep backward square leg for a maximum

Hardik Pandya to Tristan Stubbs, SIX, clubbed, another slower ball from Hardik, but this one simply sits up to be smacked - Stubbs stands tall, stays deep in the crease and shovels it over long-on for a maximum

Hardik Pandya to Tristan Stubbs, FOUR, Sundar goes for the catch and can't save the boundary either, slower short ball from Pandya and Stubbs slugged it over backward square leg, didn't get hold of the shot - Sundar ran in from the deep, the ball was dropping onto him, he tries to slide and then get his body behind the ball, but can't do so

Jasprit Bumrah to Corbin Bosch, out Caught&Bowled!! Lovely from Bumrah - spears one full and right in the blockhole. Bosch jams the bat down and squeezes it back at the bowler. Is it a bump ball? Or did he scoop it back on the full to the bowler? It's an umpire's review and the replays show that Bosch has actually popped one right back at the bowler. This is serious death over bowling from India - speared in full and at the stumps, Bosch jammed the bat down hard and the ball lobbed to the right of the bowler - Bumrah taking a nonchalant return catch. Corbin Bosch c and b Jasprit Bumrah 5(6) [4s-1]

Arshdeep Singh to Corbin Bosch, FOUR, cracking shot, tad too short from Arshdeep, sits up to be smacked and Bosch doesn't miss out - gets on top of the bounce and hammers the pull through mid-wicket

Arshdeep Singh to Marco Jansen, out Caught by Rinku Singh!! India are doing well in this final stretch - On a length and angling into the right-hander, Jansen clears his front-leg and then heaves it with the angle, but he hasn't struck it cleanly and Rinku gobbles up a simple catch at deep mid-wicket. Came more off the inner half, not a lot of distance and no real elevation either. Marco Jansen c Rinku Singh b Arshdeep Singh 2(6)

Varun Chakaravarthy to David Miller, out Caught by Tilak Varma!! A chance and David Miller has holed out to long-off - Chakaravarthy might've been expensive, but he has the knack of taking big wickets and no wicket is bigger than David Miller tonight. Slows down the pace and drifts one wider of off, made the left-hander reach out on the lofted drive and he doesn't get hold of the shot - hit a tad higher on the bat and spoons a sitter down to Tilak at long-off. David Miller c Tilak Varma b Varun Chakaravarthy 63(35) [4s-7 6s-3]

Varun Chakaravarthy to Tristan Stubbs, SIX, smashed, they've taken on Chakaravarthy with ease tonight, fraction too full and just outside off, it's right in the slot and Stubbs swings through the line, sending it soaring over long-on for a maximum

Shivam Dube to David Miller, SIX, a 26-ball fifty for David Miller. Reached out for the full ball outside off and flayed it over deep backward point for a maximum. This has been one of the best knocks of Miller in World Cups...

Shivam Dube to Dewald Brevis, out Caught by Abhishek Sharma!! The change of length works. Slower back of a length delivery outside off, Brevis was forced to fetch the pull and hit it to the longest part of the ground. Gets a top-edge and picks out Abhishek well inside the boundary ropes at deep mid-wicket. Dewald Brevis c Abhishek Sharma b Shivam Dube 45(29) [4s-3 6s-3]

Shivam Dube to Dewald Brevis, SIX, slower ball from Shivam Dube and Brevis has managed just enough timing (on the loft) to evade the leaping fielder at long-off. Not off the middle, but the ball kept flying away from the reach of Sundar to his left

Hardik Pandya to David Miller, SIX, and he has taken full toll of the freehit ball. Dug in short outside off, Miller played the swat pull and got plenty of bottom hand power into that shot. It was a slower ball alright, but Miller timed it well enough to claim a 88-metre sixer over wide long-on

Varun Chakaravarthy to Dewald Brevis, SIX, he loves playing against spin does Dewald Brevis. Full on off stump, Brevis went low and smoked it clean down the ground for a 82-metre maximum. A no-look special from Dewald Brevis...

Varun Chakaravarthy to Dewald Brevis, FOUR, Varun saw Brevis backing away and fired it in on the stumps. Brevis though did not take his eyes off the ball and played a really late cut off the back foot to beat the fielder at sweeper cover to his left

Varun Chakaravarthy to David Miller, SIX, Varun goes full and gets dispatched! It was right in front of middle and leg, Miller cleared his front leg and marmalized it many-a-mile over the long-on fence. 95-metre maximum that

Varun Chakaravarthy to David Miller, FOUR, pokes at a quicker delivery and gets a thick outside edge that runs away past the slip fielder to his left. No chance for Abhishek there...

Jasprit Bumrah to Ryan Rickelton, out Caught by Shivam Dube!! Jasprit Bumrah with his arms aloft as the crowd go bonkers in Ahmedabad. Slower delivery that pitched outside leg and angled in towards middle stump. Rickelton was early into the loft and ended up chipping an easy catch to the fielder at mid-off. What an opening spell this from Jasprit Bumrah. That said, the surface seems to be keeping a touch low and the slower balls are gripping as well. Anything over 160 might prove competitive? Ryan Rickelton c Shivam Dube b Jasprit Bumrah 7(7) [6s-1]

Arshdeep Singh to Ryan Rickelton, SIX, launched! Short and slanted down leg, Rickelton helped it into the fine leg stands with a well-timed pull. He swivelled across and timed it really well for a 78-metre maximum

Jasprit Bumrah to Quinton de Kock, out Bowled!! The leg peg has been smashed. No feet from de Kock. Tries to slog the 137ks nip-backer and misses it completely.
