Right then, Zimbabwe has a daunting total to chase. Surely, sloppy fielding led to a chain reaction of dropped catches, but it is now time to do the needful with the bat. With India’s in-form bowling unit, it won’t be a cakewalk for the Chevrons. The batters have let them down in the first two games and will have to step up big time to keep their series win hopes alive. Stay tuned, the chase is up next shortly.

Yashasvi Jaiswal is up for a quick chat. He says that he enjoyed going out there and batting. Adds that the wicket is double-paced and some balls are coming and some are not. Mentions that it is a good total on this surface. Says that they are all champions and it was an incredible experience in Mumbai. Ends by saying that he is working hard on his bowling and hopes to roll his arms soon.

Zimbabwe really needed to snag some quick wickets to put a dent in India’s power-packed and reinforced batting lineup. But their fielding let them down big time, and the bowlers? Well, they were dishing out some really juicy ones. The Indian batters didn’t need a second invitation, they were all over those loose deliveries like a rash. However, Blessing Muzarabani and Sikandar Raza significantly pulled things back a bit and didn’t concede any boundaries in those two overs. Raza finally struck gold in his next over, snagging the first wicket and giving Zimbabwe a much-needed breakthrough. Raza wasn’t done yet – he sent Abhishek Sharma packing too, breathing new life into Zimbabwe’s chances. But just when things were looking up, the fielding woes struck again. Tendai Chatara fumbled a golden opportunity, letting Gill off the hook. But Muzarabani did the trick to remove him eventually. Zimbabwe, however, couldn’t close off nicely and conceded 55 runs in the last 5 overs.

Then came Ruturaj Gaikwad. He steadied the Indian innings after a couple of quick wickets. Gaikwad and Gill then played it smart through the middle overs. No risky shots, just smart cricket, keeping the scoreboard ticking with singles and doubles, and only pulling the trigger when the ball was right in their wheelhouse. They both notched a solid partnership of 72 runs and looked unbothered. Shubman Gill notched up a brilliant fifty and just when he looked to go bonkers, he eventually got out on 66. Gaikwad continued with his strokeplay middling every stroke he played. Sanju Samson then provided the finishing touches and helped India to post 182.

A good finish from Sanju Samson helps India breach past the 180 mark. Some might say that with around 8 wickets in hand till the 18th over, India should’ve crossed 200 but those couple of quick wickets of the well-settled Gill and Gaikwad, pulled them a bit. But overall, this is a challenging total with the cracks on the surface to offer good assistance to the spinners. India kicked things off with a bang, thanks to Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal. These two were on point, making the most of any sloppy bowling that came their way. Jaiswal, back after a break, looked like he’d never left, just effortlessly finding the boundary matching stroke for stroke alongside his captain. The run flow slowed down a bit in the following overs, and Yashasvi Jaiswal got itchy feet. He tried sticking to his attacking style. But this time, he fell prey to his own aggression. Abhishek Sharma couldn’t wreak much damage this time and perished sooner.

OUT! TAKEN FINALLY! Blessing Muzarabani has his second! He pitches it up and outside off, Ruturaj Gaikwad has to reach for it and scythes it nicely, but it goes flat and in the air towards sweeper covers where Wessly Madhevere moves forward and holds on to the catch. Gaikward just misses out on his fifty but has played his part to put India in a strong position.

19.3 overs (2 Runs)
DROPPED AGAIN! This has been a disaster in terms of fielding for Zimbabwe in this game. Fuller and on middle, angling in, Ruturaj Gaikwad looks to slog it away but fails to get the distance on it, it goes miles in the air towards deep square leg, Tadiwanashe Marumani settles under it but spills it out. Luckily it does not go over the ropes and only two runs is conceded.

A good over from India’s perspective! 17 runs from the penultimate over. 180 looks within reach but surely India would love to get more than that. Blessing Muzarabani (3-0-14-1) to deliver the final over of the first inning. How much can he squeeze the Indian batters? Let’s find out…

A fine inning from the Indian skipper comes to an end! Who walks in next to bat? Sanju Samson strides out to the middle at number 5. India would expect an impactful inning from him for a stronger finish. Can India get to 180? With a lot of power hitters to follow, these two will surely try to fancy their chances now.

17.5 overs (0 Run)
OUT! TAKEN! Zimbabwe hold on to one now! Blessing Muzarabani gets his first wicket and sends back the Indian skipper. This is pitched up and around off, Shubman Gill looks to go over mid off, the shot is very much on but he just fails to get underneath the ball and slices it high in the air, Zimbabwe fans’ hearts would have been in their mouth but it is their skipper Sikandar Raza who backtracks and pouches it safely.

Right then, the summit clash is nicely poised at the halfway mark.

Keshav Maharaj is in for a chat. He says that he was trying to use the surface and the breeze. Adds that the surface was slow to begin with but has gotten better now. Reckons that the catching and the outfielding was superb. Mentions that the boys are ready to go and hopefully, they can grab it with both hands.

As for South Africa, the move to start with spin from one end paid dividends as Keshav Maharaj struck twice in his opening over. Kagiso Rabada soon got into the act, resulting in the Powerplay belonging to South Africa. In the middle phase, South Africa allowed a partnership to build as through Axar Patel, India counter-punched. Maharaj, Rabada, Shamsi and Nortje bowled well in that middle phase but Marco Jansen was all over the place with his lines and lengths. Neither could Jansen keep the runs in check towards the death but Nortje exhibited brilliant death bowling skills to keep India under 180.

Anrich Nortje closes the innings out with a wicket but India managed to score 42 runs off the last 3 overs to end up with 176 on the board. Given that they were three down inside the Powerplay, India will take this total. Through Virat Kohli’s three boundaries off Marco Jansen, the Men in Blue got going straight away. Though not much went their way in the next 5 overs of the Powerplay, losing 3 wickets. Virat Kohli and Axar Patel then got together to steady the ship. Sent into to take the spinners on, Axar performed the role with aplomb while Kohli dealt in ones and twos. The 72-run stand allowed India to get back into the contest and after Axar fell, Kohli took matters into his own hands. Having slowed down in the middle phase, Kohli pressed on the accelerator towards the back end for a strong Indian finish.

19.6 overs (0 Run)
OUT! CAUGHT! Anrich Nortje finishes off a more than decent final over and manages to keep India under 180 runs. Nortje steams in and serves a quick bumper over the off stump. Ravindra Jadeja looks to take it on but is rushed into the shot and ends up scoffing it off the top edge. The ball falls well in front of mid off but Keshav Maharaj from extra cover races to the ball and dives in to complete the catch. India finish with 176/7 on the board!

19.5 overs (2 Runs)
Short of a length and outside off, Ravindra Jadeja reaches out and slashes it up and over backward point for a couple of runs.

Ravindra Jadeja walks in with 2 balls left in the Indian innings.

OUT! CAUGHT! Good catch in the deep from David Miller as that ball was traveling. This is bowled full and on off and middle, Shivam Dube hangs back in the crease again and looks to hammer it over long off but hits it flat and just to the left of Miller who hangs on to the catch. Dube departs after a decent cameo.

19.3 overs (4 Runs)
FOUR! That went like a tracer bullet! Anrich Nortje looks to repeat the last delivery but misses his mark and serves it in the slot. Shivam Dube stays deep and muscles it straight back past the bowler for a boundary.

WIDE! Wayward to begin with from Anrich Nortje. Full and wide but gets it a bit too wide of the tramline and it is left alone for a wide.

Anrich Nortje will bowl the last over. He has conceded just 17 runs from his 3 overs. 33 runs have come off the last 2 overs for India. Can Nortje keep India under 180?

18.6 overs (4 Runs)
FOUR! Streaky but will do nicely for Hardik Pandya and India. A well-directed bumper from Janse, at helmet height and around off, Pandya gets hurried on while looking to pull and gets a top edge that flies over the keeper’s head and trickles into the fence.

Hardik Pandya comes out at number 7.

18.5 overs (0 Run)
OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the man and some respite for Marco Jansen as he does get the prized wicket. Jansen uses his height well and bowls it just short of a length over the stumps, Virat Kohli looks to take on the pull but gets it well high on the bat and the ball goes straight down the throat of Kagiso Rabada at long on and he makes no mistake. End of a fine knock from Kohli and he gets a standing ovation from the dugout.

18.4 overs (6 Runs)
SIX! Glorious from Virat Kohli and what a knock this is turning out to be. Length ball, right in the slot around off and middle stump, Kohli clears the front leg and smokes the ball in epic fashion over cow corner for a monster hit. New ball, please!

An appeal for caught behind but instead, Marco Jansen has overstepped, drama out in the middle.

Replays show that there was no edge on it and it is a big no ball from Jansen as well. Free Hit coming up…

Marco Jansen goes up in appeal for caught behind as does Quinton de Kock. Both think they have heard something and Aiden Markram takes the review. Oh hang on, the third umpire informs the on-field umpire that Marco Jansen has overstepped and it is a NO BALL.

17.6 overs (1 Run)
Much better finish to the over from Kagiso Rabada but India still get 16 off it. Full and straight in the blockhole, Virat Kohli hangs back and jams the ball down to long on for one.

17.3 overs (4 Runs)
