Kuldeep Yadav is India’s top spinner who cleaned out Aiden Markram with a spectacular delivery. He had some words for Protean hitter David Miller after ripping him all ends up with a ripper.
Temba Bavuma’s team got a solid start to their batting innings after winning the toss. They elect to bowl first in a rain-shortened match. There was a weather delay. Each team received 40 overs to bat on a slow surface at Lucknow’s Ekana Cricket Stadium. Shardul Thakur set the tone for India by dismissing Janneman Malan and Temba Bavuma in short succession before Kuldeep Yadav sent Aiden Markram packing with an unplayable ball.
David Miller, who has been in top form since the turn of the year, used a sweep shot to smash Kuldeep for a boundary on the first ball of the 24th over. In reaction to the boundary, the bowler delivered an incredible jaffa and had a few words with Miller as he went toward the non-end striker’s to steal a few of runs.

Following the fast wickets, David Miller and Heinrich Klaasen consolidate for the Proteas.
The returning left-arm spinner had the South African batsmen on toast for the whole of the encounter, and he was in no hurry to back down from the battle of bat and ball. The surface is not easy to bat on since it has a lot of turn for the spinners and some seam action for the pacers.
South Africa will be hoping that the talismanic figure of David Miller can lead them to a solid total when their 40 overs are completed. Quinton de Kock’s dismissal for a well-made 48 might be decisive in the innings. However, the visitors have enough firepower in their ranks to defend anything between 200 and 220 on a tough surface.
