IND vs SA, 1st T20I Live Score Updates: Arshdeep Singh, Deepak Chahar Star As India Restrict South Africa At 106/8 | Cricket News

IND vs SA: End of innings

Superb bowling from India! Deepak Chahar and Arshdeep Singh rocked the visitors early reducing them to 9 for 5, and once that happens, it’s hard to get to a big total.

IND vs SA: Bowled him

Cleans him up! Slower one from Harshal does the trick as Maharaj misses his slog

IND vs SA: Swung away

That’s even bigger! Short of a length and Maharaj swings his bat. Goes over third man for six

IND vs SA: That’s cheeky

Maharaj switches his stance and ramps it over the short third. Excellent shot in desperation

IND vs SA: FOUR RUNS!

Goes for the slower yorker and misses. Maharaj swings his bat and will collect four runs. Much-needed runs for the Proteas

IND vs SA: Has he found the gap? SKY says NO!

Juggles but takes it in the end! Parnell went for the big one this time but fails to connect. Only finds SKY in the deep who had plenty of time to get into position and pouch it. Taken after second attempt

IND vs SA: Four runs

On the pads from Axar, and Parnell swats it on the leg side for a four. Much-needed boundary

IND vs SA: End of the 15th

Just two runs off it! Excellent finish from Ashwin. Just 8 runs from his spell, but no wicket.

IND vs SA: That’s huge

Maharaj finally swings his arms! Slogged over midwicket for a six

IND vs SA: That’s plumb

Wrapped on the pad! No from the umpire. India go for the DRS and that was as plumb as they come. Markram departs

IND vs SA: Gone all the way

Markram reads the slower one and launches one over deep midwicket! That has gone the distance

IND vs SA: SIX RUNS

Parnell makes room and comes down the track. In the slot, and he hammers a six over extra cover!

IND vs SA: Taken at third man

Poor shot from Stubbs! Third man comes charging in, dives forward, and holds on despite the tumble. SA 5 down

IND vs SA: He has knocked him over

Another one bites the dust! That’s as good a display of swing bowling one can see. Arshdeep on a hat-trick

IND vs SA: Edged and taken

He has edged that behind! Rossouw can only find a thin edge with Pant finishing a comfortable catch.

IND vs SA: Drags it on!

He has played that on off the inside edge! What a dream start for India! De Kock departs. Arshdeep is buzzing

IND vs SA: Bowled him

Cleans him up with a ripper! That’s exactly what Chahar offers. Bavuma had no answers

IND vs SA: Good start by Chahar

Chahar is making the ball move. Excellent start from him. Hasn’t played much 

IND vs SA: Action about to start

Deepak Chahar to start with the new ball. De Kock and Bavuma are out in the middle

IND vs SA: No Bumrah Today

UPDATE

Jasprit Bumrah complained of back pain during India’s practice session on Tuesday. The BCCI Medical Team assessed him. He is ruled out of the first #INDvSA T20I.#TeamIndia
