Miller, van der Dussen see off India challenge in high-scoring contest (ESPNcricinfo.com)

South Africa 212 for 3 (van der Dussen 75*, Miller 64*) beat India 211 for 4 (Kishan 76, Shreyas 36, Parnell 1-32) by seven wickets.

It was expected that Miller would be the batter to keep South Africa in the game - given his impressive IPL - and he did exactly that. It was expected that Miller would be the batter to keep South Africa in the game - given his impressive IPL - and he did exactly that. But van der Dussen, oft-criticised for his slow scoring rate, could not get the ball away as regularly until he broke the toe-end of his bat and had to change it for another. Kishan was on 52 and went on to add 24 more to his score, most of it off Maharaj. The very next ball, there was an opportunity to run out Rishabh Pant for a duck at the non-striker's end, when he wanted to sneak a run but collided with Rabada. Stubbs lobbed the ball over the fielder backing-up at that end. Pretorius swung hard and got the short, full, and length ball over the leg side before Harshal broke through his defences with a slower ball and took out off stump. Then, three balls past the halfway mark, Maharaj shortened his length as he sawShreyas Iyercoming down the track and Quinton de Kock had an opportunity to stump him, but could not break the wicket in time. He slayed the short ball, advanced down the track to hit Shamsi for six three times, and then belted Maharaj through the leg-side for 20 runs off four balls before successfully reviewing an lbw call. The first came immediately after the powerplay when Gaikwad pulled a hip-high short ball from Parnell to Pretorius at long leg.

South Africa pulled off their highest successful chase in T20I cricket, and denied India a record 13th successive T20I victory, despite being a batter light in the series opener.

India posted their highest T20I total against South Africa but it wasn't enough.

Kishan reached his fifty with a six off left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj as South Africa looked lacklustre in the field with dropped catches and missed chances. Earlier on Thursday, opener Ishan Kishan led India’s batting charge with a blazing half-century. won During this record run, the Men in Blue completed clean sweeps against New Zealand, West Indies and Sri Lanka, with all three of those series played at home. It was India’s highest T20I total against South Africa. South Africa defeated India by seven wickets in Delhi on Thursday to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.

India versus South Africa: In a lost cause, India's T20 batting formula ... (The Indian Express)

Indian batsmen led by Ishan Kishan embraced an ultra-aggressive approach from the word go.

The most perceptible difference was in how they approached the middle-overs (overs 7 to 16), usually the quietest phase of a T20 innings, when batsmen wait for loose balls and motor on with a stream of singles to build the platform for the death overs. Earlier, Shreyas showed he was undaunted by the propensity to get out to wrist spinners and smoked Shamsi for a brace of sixes in an over. Greed ushered in his downfall, but in the world of the gluttonous, better be greedy. From the sixth to the 11th over, they plundered 76 runs in six overs, of which only one had fielder restriction. Gaikwad weaved away a touch from the line of the ball and hooked it. He missed—Rabada was shrewd to pick the cues his feet betrayed—and looked witless.

Rassie van der Dussen was handed a lifeline by Shreyas Iyer when on 29 from 30 balls. He made India pay by co-starring in a successful 212 run chase.

I am being overly critical because the pitch was good. "We expected the wicket to get better as the night went on.

India versus South Africa: Rassie Van der Dussen's unassuming yet ... (The Indian Express)

The 33-year-old had crawled to just 29 off 30 balls on Thursday, before plundering 45 of the next 15 to hand South Africa a famous win.

“I tried to live my life in a way that I thought could improve me in terms of my training, in terms of my diet, and all the aspects that went into it. Like van der Dussen — in many ways the pin-up hero of this South African side. During the years of snub, he packed off to distant shores to experience different cultures and get exposure to different conditions. This is a South Africa team sans the machismo that has been the tragic flaw of more gifted Proteas sides, according to coach Paddy Upton. “I think machoness is a problem in non-Asian countries. Aiden Markram was once considered a T20 misfit; Miller, out of depression, had once thought of quitting the game (link: https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/devotion-and-courage-david-millers-rise-from-talented-teen-to-international-match-winner-7956113/); Bavuma has eternally worn the flattered-to-deceive millstone around his neck. Van der Dussen kept racking up runs in the school circuit and caught the attention of the Titans, his home team. In his teenage years, he was supposed to be the least talented of the four brothers of the Dussen household in Pretoria. His brother Adrian was the boy with the blue chip but ended up as a journalist before switching to digital marketing. His is a team without superstar batsmen, no one with the towering persona of de Villiers or du Plessis, or Graeme Smith or Dale Steyn. He hits a lot of balls, understands his strengths and weaknesses, and works on those weaknesses. So after matriculation, which he finished a year earlier, he told his father that he wanted to do a post-matriculation, so that he could get some proper cricket coaching. Van der Dussen had just crawled to 29 off 30; a rate that even in the 50-over game is considered unsatisfactory. To the extent that when he often introduces himself back home, he’s promptly asked if he indeed was the former Springbok rugby coach and player Rassie Erasmus.

Cricket News: The Indian team is thinking of veering away from its conservative approach to T20 batting. The T20 World Cup is barely five months away.

He is about to turn 24 and is only 11 T20Is old. They have scored so many runs for our country, I cannot ask them to drop themselves and make me play in the first place,” Ishan said at the post-match press conference on Thursday night. “My job here is to give my best in the practice session. He has to make sure he scores enough runs so that he doesn’t fall off the radar too. His start wasn’t the prettiest to watch but there was no shortage of intent to go after the bowlers. His 76 off 48 balls at Kotla was demonstration of the brand of cricket India want to play: all-out attack like many other successful international sides do.

But he failed to impress with the bowl and leaked 18 runs in his only over. Quinton de Kock failed to convert his start but the Lucknow Super Giants batter also scored a bagful of runs (508) in the IPL and he would look to make it count here. In the form of his life, Miller who scored 481 runs at 68.71 in the IPL to play a key role in GT's triumph, has started in ominous fashion and looked unstoppable both against spin and pace at Kotla. With the duo of Arshdeep and Malik trying hard to impress at the nets with their pace and accuracy it is likely that one among the duo may be well set for a debut on Saturday. The big headache for Pant would be the bowling department where he would have to make a call between Arshdeep Singh and pace gun Umran Malik. Returning to full fitness, the pace bowling all-rounder took the IPL by storm not only by his form but by pulling off a coup as he led Gujarat Titans to the title in their debut season.
