Disaster strikes at 27.4 as sharp fielding produces a crucial run-out. Jorich Van Schalkwyk’s delivery sparks chaos and Armaan Manack is caught short after a mix-up in the middle. Excellent teamwork in the deep. Harvansh Pangalia’s quick release, Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s relay, and Abhigyan Kundu’s calm finish seal the dismissal.

Jorich Van Schalkwyk 58 (65) and Armaan Manack 33 (50) have stabilized the innings after early fall of wickets.

Wicket at 9.3 and the fielding side strikes just when Jason Rowles was beginning to look dangerous. Khilan Patel gets the reward as Rowles goes aerial, but picks out Mohamed Enaan perfectly in the deep. It’s a handy knock brought to an end, 16 off 13 balls, including two fours and a towering six. Another momentum shift as the batting side loses a key wicket.

Another big moment in the game as Deepesh Devendran continues his superb spell. Muhammed Bulbulia is beaten all ends up and bowled through the gate. The batter never really got going and is dismissed for 5 off 7 deliveries, with just one boundary to his name.

South Africa: 41/2 after 6.2 overs.

Deepesh Devendran strikes at a crucial moment as Adnaan Lagadien departs after a lively cameo. Lagadien, who looked in good touch, tried to up the tempo but found Khilan Patel in the deep.
