Right then! It is a huge score but if South Africa gets past the opening spell, it would certainly be an exciting chase to watch out and who doesn't want one! India will hope to strike early on though and put some pressure on the visitors. Stay tuned for the second essay.

Ishan Kishan is up for a quick chat. He says the total they have is a big one given the surface and they are confident of defending it. Mentions that the wicket was a bit two-faced and the ball wasn't quite coming on and he just tried to watch the ball until the last second. Mentions that he didn't want to play too aggressively and his role was to play through the Powerplay and set a platform for the guys to come. Says that he had a chat with Shreyas Iyer and they both decided to take on one spinner each and it came off. Ends by saying that he thought honestly 150 was a par score on this wicket but they have got a big total on the board and reckons they can defend it.

* This is the highest T20I total for India against South Africa, surpassing 203/5 in Joburg in 2018

What an excellent finish from Hardik Pandya as his cameo has helped India get past the 210-mark. A tiring effort for the Proteas bowlers though as everyone were taken to the cleaners by India.

That's it! India 211/4 after 20 overs
Excellent final over from Anrich Nortje - a big wicket and just 9 runs off it. The pacer got rid of Rishabh Pant (29 off 16) off the first ball, and despite of Hardik Pandya (31* off 12) hitting a big six in it the hosts managed to score just 9 in it. But in the end, India posted a record 211 for 4 against the visitors.

Anrich Nortje to Hardik Pandya, No run taken! Full and straight, Pandya flicks it towards deep mid-wicket and denies the single. Strange given that it's Karthik at the other end and not a tailender but then again Pandya is well-set at the crease.

Anrich Nortje to Hardik Pandya, SIX! Up and over! Attempted slower delivery from Nortje, shorter and outside off but just not short enough. Hardik Pandya keeps on staying deep in his crease and powers this one well over the jumping fielder at long off for a maximum.

Anrich Nortje to Dinesh Karthik, Nortje nails the yorker on middle stump at 147 clicks. Karthik just about manages to jam it out towards mid-wicket and sets off for a quick single. The fielder has a shy at the bowler's end but misses. Just a single then.

Anrich Nortje to Rishabh Pant, OUT! TAKEN! Anrich Nortje comes from around the wicket and digs it in short and wide. Rishabh Pant has to go after it and does so but can't get the required power as it is a bit too wide. Pant hits it flat and towards deep point where Rassie van der Dussen takes a safe catch. Nortje starts off the over with a wicket but Pant will feel he has done his job.

Anrich Nortje to bowl the last over.

Hardik smashes! India 202/3 after 19 overs
15 RUNS! Hardik Pandya (23*) started the over with a cracking six over long-on and finished it with a four off the last ball. Kagiso Rabada leaked 15 runs in the penultimate over and returned figures of 0 for 35 in 4 overs.

Kagiso Rabada to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! Kagiso Rabada nails the yorker but still the ball goes to the boundary, a bit cruel for the bowler but Hardik Pandya certainly won't mind. On middle, Pandya looks to jam it out but gets an inside edge past the leg stump and the ball races away into the fine leg fence. The 200 is up for India.
