Phehlukwayo to Pant, wide, out Stumped!! Stumping appeal sent upstairs. Pant doesn’t wait for the decision. He’s walking. 129kph, length ball down leg, Pant misses the flick and the momentum takes him out of the crease. Quinton de Kock, standing up to the sticks, collects it down the leg and quickly whips off the bails to stump the batter out. Excellent glovework from QdK. India has lost half their side and South Africa is definitely on top now!
South Africa beat India by 31 runs and take a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series

For India, only Bumrah and Ashwin were able to take wickets (Jasprit 2 wickets, Ashwin 1 wicket). The main issue was Team India wasn’t able to take wickets in the middle overs which KL Rahul, the captain was admitted in the post-match.
For India, the chase went well till Shikhar and Virat were playing. After the early wicket of Rahul, Virat and Shikhar added 92 runs for the second wicket partnership. Shikhar got out on a sharp turn ball from Maharaj while he was batting on 79 runs.
