Jansen is going to bowl the last over. He makes a dot with his first pin-point yorker. Hardik blasts a fuller one through covers with his bottom hand this time. Markram tries to grab it but wastes his time because it was in the air and moving quickly. He is gripping his pinky finger while lying on the ground in obvious discomfort. Another opportunity is lost! Hardik attempts to draw a short delivery from Jansen, but it gets a top edge and travels to Coetzee at third man, who fails to make the grab. Whoa!

93/6 in 16 overs for IND
Peter is about to bowl his last over. Rinku attempts a slog sweep on the off stump line, but Coetzee makes an easy catch and it soars high but lacks force. The next batsman to bat is Arshdeep Singh. Klaasen gathers and uproots the stumps after Arshdeep fails his attempt to defend a full ball on the front foot. The umpire remains unmoved despite the loud cries for a wicket. DRS was taken.

After a while, Hardik middles a straight, which deflects off Peter’s hands and lands on the stumps at the non-striker’s end. Axar had to go back since he was that much outside the crease! Bad luck!

Axar slogs it full and faster in the air, sweeping it deep for a single and shouting for a catch, but it’s far from the fielder. MARKAM ATTACKS! Taken from the void! Tilak tried to hit it over the cover fielder as he came down the track, exhausted from trying to take advantage of the width, but Miller’s incredible one-handed grab came out of nowhere! At six, Hardik Pandya enters.
20:07 on November 10, 2024
In 7 overs, IND is 41/3.
The introduction of Keshav Maharaj takes Coetzee’s place. Two singles with the same number of delivery.

Surya lofts this one over midwicket for a few of runs, a little fuller this time. As he traps Surya’s leg previously, Simelane gets the benefits and hits the yorker. Plumb in front, in fact. SURYA GOES AWAY! Axar Patel is now higher in the hierarchy.
19:45 on November 10, 2024
IND 11/2 in three overs

10 November 2024, 19:37 C
IND 6/2 in two overs
The second over will be bowled by Gerald Coetzee. He pulls a short one on the legside for a FOUR, and Abhishek greets him in style! India’s first runs on the board. Short once again, and Abhishek chooses to ignore it this time. Has the short ball strategy been successful? As Klaasen completes the catch behind the stumps, Coetzee bowls short and directs it towards Abhishek’s ribs. The batsman is tempted to flick it, but it appears to have deflected off the glove. Ultra Edge detects no disruption, and Abhishek takes DRS right away! Abhishek is secure! As he is apprehended, Abhishek’s lean patch remains intact! The southpaw attempted to draw, but the short, fine-legged fielder top-edged it! With just one hit, Tilak Varma, the new hitter, is off the mark.
