This is Sidhant Maheshwari, signing off on behalf of Krishna, Raju, Sagar, Pratyush and my co-commentators, Ramakrishnan and Pradeep. Take care folks!

So, South Africa hold the upper hand in this 3-match T20I series. India will now look to bounce back when these two sides square off in the second T20I in Cuttack. On the other hand, South Africa will go there and look to take an unassailable 2-0 lead. Don't forget to join us for that game on Monday.

Duminy: 'One of my best innings. We knew it was going to be a tough total to chase, probably just above par. We got a good start as well and that helped us. We waited for some time before taking the bowlers on. I knew if it was in my arc, I had to go for it. We knew that if we get it down to 10-11 runs per over in the final few overs, we could do it. With a small ground and the ball travelling a lot more because of the conditions, we knew we could take this total down. It's a long tour for us and hopefully, we can continue playing like this.'

JP Duminy is the Man of the Match for his unbeaten 34-ball 68

du Plessis: 'It (the outfield) got really wet towards the end. What a game for both teams, the perfect start to the tour. Chasing 200 is a great thing at the start of the tour. Today was one of those days where the bowlers were under the pump. The way our bowlers pulled things back towards the end was great to watch. Duminy is a very experienced batsman, he played brilliantly and was well supported by Behardien.'

Dhoni: 'I think we had something close to a par total, maybe just above par. The ground though is not that big. Also, since it's in the mountains, the ball travels a lot more in the air. It was a score that we had to bowl well to defend. We gave too many runs. If you're giving anything above 20 in an over, it puts you under a lot of pressure. I thought we were unfortunate not to get Duminy early. He batted really well later on. It was quite tough for the bowlers and that's why we played with five specialist bowlers. Axar Patel did go for some runs, he usually bowls really well and hopefully he will do better in the next game. You need to choke the opposition, you need to make it tough for them. We couldn't do that today, despite having 200 runs on the board.'

The fears were confirmed when de Villiers and Amla came out firing on all cylinders. 50 was up in no time and the pacers were hiding for cover. It was only when spin was introduced - Ashwin in particular - that Dhoni managed to assert some control as both the openers were dismissed quickly. But just when the required rate threatened to slip out of control, came the huge Axar Patel over. Duminy belted him for 3 sixes and put the visitors in the box seat. The southpaw kicked on and finished the job for the Proteas, smashing a quickfire half-century.

Well played Jean Paul Duminy! Ice-cold under pressure and takes his team over the line. Some of his ball-striking was just awe-inspiring and the ball kept disappearing into the night sky. So, after the bloodbath in godly Dharamsala where the bowlers were mere offerings to the butchering lord, it is the visitors who are standing tall having scaled the 200-run mountain. Also means that Rohit Sharma's magical ton goes in vain. At the halfway stage, it looked like the South African bowlers had done a good job in pulling things back towards the fag end of the Indian innings and the home side were just about par on this belter, not to forget the diminutive straight boundaries and the dew factor.

19.4 - Aravind to Duminy, 1 run, South Africa go 1-0 up! This is the first time South Africa have chased down a total against India in a T20I. Duminy has been the star of the show and it was only fitting that he finished it off for his team. He pumps the air in delight and hugs his partner. Coming back to the ball, this was full and just outside off, Duminy comes across and clips it down to long-on for a single

19.3 - Aravind to Duminy, SIX, a full toss and it has been sent to the cleaners. 100 of the partnership also comes up and the scores are level. Aravind tries to bowl the yorker but misses his length by a long way. Duminy swings hard and sends it over the cow corner fence for another six, his seventh of the innings

19.2 - Aravind to Duminy, 2 runs, another yorker length delivery around the off stump, Duminy digs it out and the ball dribbles away in front of long-off, the batsmen have ample time to come back for the second before Kohli fires the throw at the striker's end

19.1 - Aravind to Behardien, 1 run, yorker length delivery on the stumps, Behardien jams it out to long-on and gives the strike back to Duminy

Sreenath Aravind [3.0-0-34-1] is back into the attack

Sreenath Aravind, the debutant, will bowl the final over. 10 needed from 6 balls.

18.6 - Bhuvneshwar to Behardien, 1 run, Behardien makes room and Bhuvi follows him with a short delivery, he tries to pull it away but drags it back onto his pad off the inside half of the bat, the batsmen take a single as the ball rolls away into the off-side

18.5 - Bhuvneshwar to Duminy, 1 run, another shortish ball from Bhuvi, Duminy goes for the pull but drags it behind square on the on-side off the inside half of the bat, only a single taken before the fielder runs to his right in the deep and cuts it off

Surely, South Africa have the game in the bag now, with 12 needed from 8 balls. Can India pull off a miraculous victory? Let's find out.

18.4 - Bhuvneshwar to Behardien, leg byes, 1 run, short of length delivery angling in on leg stump line, Behardien comes on the front foot and misses the pull, wears it around the hip area. The batsmen sneak in a leg bye but Behardien looks in some pain. The 12th man walks out with some drinks for the batsmen

18.3 - Bhuvneshwar to Duminy, 1 run, banged in short and on the stumps, Duminy tries to pull it away but can't get his timing right, the ball rolls away to the left of mid-wicket and the batsmen take a single

18.2 - Bhuvneshwar to Duminy, SIX, Bhuvi misses the yorker and has been deposited into the stands. A full toss and Duminy just clubs it over the deep mid-wicket fence. That came right off the meaty part and no one was ever going to stop that

18.1 - Bhuvneshwar to Duminy, FOUR, 8th T20I fifty for Duminy. This is also his first boundary in this innings, after hitting 5 sixes. Bhuvi went for the yorker on this occasion, Duminy took it on the full and drove it back past the bowler, long-on runs to his right, puts in the dive but the ball escapes through to the fence

South Africa need 24 runs from 12 balls

17.6 - Mohit Sharma to Duminy, 1 run, angling away outside off, Duminy slashes hard and gets a thick outside edge that flies towards Bhuvi at third man, the ball drops right in front of him and he can't collect it cleanly, allowing the batsmen to cross over for a single

17.5 - Mohit Sharma to Duminy, 2 runs, this time Kohli can't prevent the batsmen from taking two. Yorker length ball on the stumps, Duminy jams it out in front of long-on, the batsmen hurry back for the second and get it easily as Kohli had to run in a long way from the boundary rope

17.4 - Mohit Sharma to Behardien, 1 run, slower length delivery outside off, Behardien lofts it to the left of long-off, Kohli quickly moves across, picks the ball quickly and releases it quickly too to prevent the batsmen from taking the second

17.3 - Mohit Sharma to Behardien, no run, full delivery well wide outside off, Behardien goes hard on the drive, ends up getting an outside edge that falls right in front of Dhoni

17.2 - Mohit Sharma to Duminy, leg byes, 1 run, just short of a good length and around off, it was the slower one from Mohit, Duminy tries to play across the line and misses it completely, the batsmen sneak in a leg bye as the ball rolls away into the on-side. There was an appeal for lbw from the bowler, but the umpire wasn't interested as the ball pitched outside leg

17.1 - Mohit Sharma to Duminy, SIX, Duminy is taking the game away from the Indians. This was very full and just outside off, all Duminy had to do was to loft it through the line, he does exactly that and clears the leaping fielder at long-off. Great start to the over for South Africa

Mohit Sharma [3.0-0-30-0] is back into the attack

35 needed from 18 balls

16.6 - Bhuvneshwar to Duminy, 1 run, full and around off, Duminy comes slightly across and clips it to the left of long-on, where Rayudu quickly moves across and prevents the batsmen from taking the second run

16.3 - Bhuvneshwar to Duminy, 2 runs, this one's fuller and around off, Duminy goes hard at the ball, ends up dragging it behind square on the on-side off the inside half of the bat, the batsmen take a couple before the ball is hunted down

16.2 - Bhuvneshwar to Duminy, leg byes, 2 runs, Bhuvneshwar is not happy with the umpire's call. Looked like a very close appeal for lbw. Looked plumb to me. It was the yorker right at the base of middle stump, Duminy fails to work it away and gets hit in line with middle, the ball rolls away to the right of short third man and the batsmen take two leg byes. Replays show that the ball was cannoning into the middle stump. Duminy is lucky to be still out there

16.1 - Bhuvneshwar to Behardien, 1 run, back of a length delivery on the stumps, Behardien punches it down to long-on and gets off strike

Duminy had to hurry back to get inside the crease. A very expensive over from Patel, 22 runs came off it

15.5 - A Patel to Duminy, SIX, this is poor bowling from Patel and South Africa are right back in this game. Third consecutive six for Duminy. It was short and well wide outside off, Duminy goes back and across, waits for the ball to arrive and nails the pull over the deep mid-wicket fence

15.4 - A Patel to Duminy, SIX, 50 of the partnership comes up with this maximum. Patel is struggling with his line. You can't bowl this short at this pace. Duminy rocks back and pulls it over the deep mid-wicket fence for another six

15.3 - A Patel to Duminy, SIX, a miscued shot goes for a six. This was floated up just outside off, Duminy heaves it towards the cow corner fence, didn't get it off the middle but it had enough on it to sail over the rope

15.3 - A Patel to Duminy, wide, flatter and well wide outside off, Duminy lets it go and the umpire exercises his arms

15.2 - A Patel to Behardien, 1 run, another shortish delivery from Patel, Behardien pulls it to the left of deep backward square leg, the batsmen think about the second but decide against it

15.1 - A Patel to Behardien, 2 runs, comes down the track and Patel drops it short, Behardien pulls it in the gap between deep mid-wicket and long-on, Rahane from deep mid-wicket moves to his left, bends down just in time near the rope to pull the ball back, saves two runs for his team

Axar Patel [3.0-0-23-0] is back into the attack

14.6 - Ashwin to Behardien, 1 run, eases this slowish delivery down to long-on to keep the strike. Ashwin finishes his spell. His figures: 4-0-26-1.

14.4 - Ashwin to Behardien, no run, bit fuller and around off, Behardien whips it straight to the man at mid-wicket, still can't get the single away

14.3 - Ashwin to Behardien, no run, flatter and spinning in from outside off, Behardien tries to slog this one out of the park, but ends up toe-ending it, the ball drops right next to his feet

14.2 - Ashwin to Behardien, no run, slower through the air and outside off, Behardien tries to play the reverse sweep but can't make a decent connection, the ball rolls away to the right of the keeper

14.1 - Ashwin to Duminy, 1 run, flatter and spinning away just outside off, Duminy goes deep in the crease and cuts it to the left of sweeper cover, only a single available

13.3 - Mohit Sharma to Behardien, FOUR, another short delivery from Mohit and Behardien takes full toll of it. He swivels on the pull and splits long leg and deep square leg to perfection, collects four

13.2 - Mohit Sharma to Behardien, no run, on a good length and in the channel outside off, Behardien looks to pull it away through the on-side but the ball wasn't short enough to play the shot, it goes under his bat and through to the keeper

Mohit will come from round the wicket to Duminy

Mohit Sharma [2.0-0-19-0] is back into the attack

12.6 - A Patel to Behardien, FOUR, nice way to end the over for South Africa. Floated up outside off, Behardien comes on the front foot and lofts it inside-out over extra cover, it was intentional and the timing was good, runs away to the fence in no time at all

12.5 - A Patel to Behardien, no run, another delivery that's given more air by Patel, Behardien was looking to work it through the on-side, closed the bat face early and gets a soft leading edge that rolls along the carpet on the off-side

12.4 - A Patel to Duminy, 1 run, on middle and leg stump line this time around, Duminy clips it through square leg, Dhoni runs after it and keeps the batsmen down to a single

12.3 - A Patel to Duminy, no run, slower through the air and around off, Duminy looks to work it away on the on-side, closes the bat face a little early and the leading edge pops out to the right of the bowler

12.1 - A Patel to Duminy, no run, big shout for lbw, but umpire Kulkarni says 'Not Out'. This was drifting in on middle stump line, Duminy fails to work it away and wears it on the pad. Looked pretty close to the naked eye, but the umpire thought that the ball might have been snaking down leg

Axar Patel [2.0-0-12-0] is back into the attack

11.6 - Ashwin to Duminy, 1 run, bowls this fuller and around the off stump line, Duminy kneels down and sweeps it backward of square leg, keeps the strike with a single

11.3 - Ashwin to Duminy, 1 run, flatter delivery just outside off, Duminy goes across and laps it behind square on the leg-side for a single

11.2 - Ashwin to Duminy, no run, floated up outside off and turns away, Duminy comes forward to drive, the ball spins away and beats him on the outside edge. Dhoni collected the ball and immediately took the bails off, he first thought that Duminy's foot may have been in the air for a little while but replays show that he just about grounded it back in time before the bails were dislodged

Third umpire called in to check a stumping chance. Looks like Duminy's foot is grounded. Should be safe and Not Out displays on the big screen.

11.1 - Ashwin to Duminy, no run, too full to play the sweep, Duminy goes for it but fails to lay any bat on it. The ball spins away and first slip dives to his left and stops it

Farhaan Behardien, right handed bat, comes to the crease

10.3 - Aravind to du Plessis, out Bowled!! First T20I wicket for Aravind! Another big wicket for India, South Africa's captain falls! This was the slower delivery from Aravind, he rolled his fingers across it, du Plessis was camping on the back foot as he looked to punch it square on the off-side, the ball didn't come onto him, might have stayed a tad low as well. He ends up getting a thick inside edge and the ball crashes into the stumps. Aravind is mobbed by his mates, India are firmly on top now. du Plessis b Aravind 4(5)

Aravind to du Plessis, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

10.2 - Aravind to Duminy, 1 run, back of a length and angling into the left-hander, steered away towards third man for a single

Sreenath Aravind [2.0-0-28-0] is back into the attack

9.6 - Ashwin to Duminy, no run, excellent delivery from Ashwin, he turns around and appeals for a caught behind, but there's no support coming. This was the straighter one, pitched outside off and held its line, Duminy was playing for the spin, ends up playing inside the line and is beaten on the outside edge

Jean-Paul Duminy, left handed bat, comes to the crease

9.5 - Ashwin to de Villiers, out Bowled!! Ashwin has his man.

8.6 - A Patel to du Plessis, 2 runs, that was close! This was tossed up and just outside off, du Plessis was early into the flick, gets a leading edge that pops towards short extra cover. Kohli ran forward and dived, but can't grasp the ball. He actually ended up diving over the ball

7.5 - Ashwin to de Villiers, 2 runs, flighted delivery and well outside off, AB drives it wide of cover and comes back for the second run

Faf du Plessis, right handed bat, comes to the crease

7.4 - Ashwin to de Villiers, out Amla Run Out!! 1 run completed. Excellent piece of fielding from Bhuvneshwar and Amla has to depart. This was tossed up and on AB's pads, he clipped it behind square on the on-side and quickly set-off. He was always coming back for the second run, Amla was late to respond. Bhuvneshwar spots that his chance was at the bowler's end, the throw is flat and accurate. Ashwin collects the ball and breaks the stumps with Amla well short of the crease. No need for the third umpire, a much needed wicket for India. Amla run out (Bhuvneshwar/Ashwin) 36(24) [4s-5]

1.3 - Aravind to Amla, 1 run, fraction fuller and on the stumps, worked away behind square on the on-side for a single

1.2 - Aravind to Amla, 2 runs, that's good running from the two batsmen, Amla played this pitched up delivery with soft hands towards mid-wicket, ran hard and comes back for the second run

Aravind is making his T20I debut, some nerves perhaps? He has a slip in place

1.1 - Aravind to de Villiers, 1 run, fuller length delivery and on the stumps, AB stays inside the line and tucks it past square leg for a single

Sreenath Aravind, left-arm fast medium, comes into the attack

0.6 - Bhuvneshwar to Amla, no run, short of a length and well outside off, punched off the back foot towards cover-point

0.5 - Bhuvneshwar to Amla, no run, back of a length and on the off-stump line, no room for Amla to free his arms, he goes back and nudges it towards the on-side

0.4 - Bhuvneshwar to Amla, no run, Bhuvneshwar shortens his length on off, Amla shuffles across and tucks it towards mid-wicket

0.3 - Bhuvneshwar to Amla, FOUR, edged and four, on a good length and holding its line outside off, Amla flashes hard at the ball, gets a thick edge that flies past the slip cordon, races away to the third man boundary

0.2 - Bhuvneshwar to Amla, 2 runs, almost back-to-back boundaries for Amla, short of a good length and in that channel outside off, punched off the back foot and to the left of mid-off. The fielder tumbles and gets a hand onto it, saved a couple of runs for his team

0.1 - Bhuvneshwar to Amla, FOUR, that's a dream start for South Africa, poor ball from Bhuvneshwar, full and on Amla's pads, he gets inside the line and flicks it very fine, off the mark with a boundary

Amla and de Villiers are at the crease. Amla is on strike. Bhuvneshwar will open the attack
