India got off to a brilliant start in the powerplay after South Africa opted to bat first. The Proteas were reduced to 20 for three inside the powerplay and after that India let the hook off. The hosts let the game slip away after being in control of it in the early phase of the contest.
SA managed to put on a challenging 187 runs for the loss of 7 wickets. Given the batting power India have, 188 seemed absolutely chaseable. But then, India lost more than two wickets inside the powerplay and never seemed to recover from that. None of the Indian batters managed to string together a partnership of substance. Chasing 188 to win, the entire Indian team was bowled out for 111 runs in 18.5 overs.
For the hosts, Shivam Dube's 42 off 27 balls was the highest score by an Indian. Marco Jansen with four wickets to his name was the pick of the Protean bowlers.
Can India Bounce Back?
The Indian team has the quality to bounce back. India take on Zimbabwe in their next game on February 26.
