Arshdeep Singh (5/37) and Avesh Khan (5/27) shared nine wickets between them to bowl out the hosts by a meager total, and in reply, debutant Sai Sudharsen (55*) and Shreyas Iyer (52) shared 88 – Run stand for the second wicket to see out the visitors. At home in the end with 32.2 overs.

However, at one stage, Andile Phlukwayo (33) alone provided resistance, but lacked support, before he was sent off in the 26th round.^y more. The likes of David Miller (2) and Aiden Markram (12) failed to produce the aggression required to beat the Proteas.
