India vs South Africa 1st T20 Highlights: David Miller, Rassie van der Dussen help SA beat IND by seven wickets

Avesh Khan returns after an expensive first over and concedes just four runs in his second. SA reach 86/3 after 10 overs and they need 126 runs in 60 balls. 

Axar Patel strikes as Ishan Kishan takes a good catch near the boundary ropes. QDK departs for 22 (18).

Meanwhile, nine runs come off the over as SA reach 82-3 after 9 overs.

After starting with a 16-run over, Yuzvendra Chahal recovers well and concedes just six runs in his second. South Africa reach 73/2 after 8 overs. 

Meanwhile, Axar Patel bowls an excellent over as just six runs come off it. SA: 67/2 (7 overs)

Harshal Patel is sitting outside, receiving some treatment on his web-splitting on his hands. A thick band-aid has been used. He was dealing with the same problem in the recently-concluded IPL. 

Harshal Patel packs danger man Dwaine Pretorius on 29(13). The bowler cleans him up with a slow full toss.

Rassie van der Dussen joins Quinton de Kock in the middle as just one run come off the over. SA: 61-2 (6 overs)

As Bhuvneshwar Kumar was getting ready to bowl, Rishabh Pant makes a last minute change and passes the ball to Hardik Pandya. 

The all-rounder starts good but Pretorius is in some mood as he hits the bowler for three massive sixes. 18 runs come off the over as SA reach 60/1 after 5 overs.

Yuzvendra Chahal is brought into the attack and QDK passes the strike to Pretorius, who slogs a tossed up delivery for a maximum towards the long-on region. 

The bowler, however, recovers well after that before QDK makes use of the field restrictions and gets another boundary. He finishes the over with another boundary as 16 runs come off it. SA: 42/1 (4 overs) 

Dwaine Pretorius joins De Kock in the middle as just four runs and a wicket come in the over bowled by Bhuvneshwar. 

Rishabh Pant takes a sharp catch as Bhuvneshwar Kumar provides India with the first breakthrough. Temba Bavuma departs for 10(8)

Expensive over by Avesh Khan as Temba Bavuma hits the pacer for consecutive fours and Quinton de Kock ends it with another four. 15 runs come off the over as SA reach 22/0 after 2 overs.

Four of those runs came via leg byes as the ball went between Pant and first slip and ran to the boundary. 

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has the ball in his hands, Quinton de Kock facing the first delivery with captain Temba Bavuma at the other end.

Gavaskar was mighty impressed by the kind of innings Hardik Pandya, especially considering he is coming fresh of an IPL season in which he played at No.4. 

Excellent final over by Anrich Nortje as just one six come off it. Nine runs in total from the over as India post 211-4 in 20 overs. Hardik Pandya returns unbeaten on 31 off 12 balls.

Smart bowling by Anrich Nortje, who comes to bowl the final over here. Slows down the pace and pitches it wide and short, compelling Rishabh Pant to go for it. The left-handed batter does the same, connects it from the middle of the bat but finds Rassie van der Dussen at the square of the wicket. He departs for 29(16). 

Kagiso Rabada comes to bowl the penultimate over and does a decent job before an inch-perfect yorker takes the edge of Pandya's bat and races towards the fine-leg for a four. 15 runs come off it as India edge past 200. IND: 202-3

Hardik Pandya joins the party as he hits Wayne Parnell for a four and follows it up with a six. 13 runs come off the over as India move to 187/3 after 18 overs. 

Dwaine Pretorius strikes as he cleans up Shreyas Iyer on 36. The ball angles back after pitching slightly wide off the off-stick and it kisses the outside of it after passing through the gap between Iyer's bat and the body. 

Hardik Pandya arrives in the middle as Pant swings his arms and connects it well to hit Pretorius for a six. He hits the bowler for another six, just over the long-on fence and ends the over with another four. 18 runs come off the over. IND: 174/3 (17)  

South Africa have recovered well in the past few overs. Rabada conceded eight, and Nortje followed it by a five-run over and now we have Wayne Parnell conceding just six runs. Meanwhile, India reach 156/2 after 16 overs.

Kagiso Rabada bowls a decent 14th over as just eight runs come off it, which included a mix-up between Iyer and Pant right in the first bowl. 

The following over by Nortje is equally good from South Africa's perspective as just five runs come off the over. India reach 150/2 after 15 overs.

Keshav Maharaj is taken for a ride by Ishan Kishan as he hits the spinner for two consecutive sixes, follows it up with two boundaries. 

However, he is dismissed in the final ball as his shot finds Tristan Stubbs at long-on. He departs for 76(48). IND: 137/2 

Dwaine Pretorius is brought back into the attack and he concedes just five runs on his return. IND: 117/1 (12 overs) 

Keshav Maharaj is introduced into the attack and he provides his side with a wicket-taking opportunity. However, Quinton de Kock spills the stumping opportunity, giving second life to Shreyas Iyer.

Meanwhile, Ishan Kishan hits Maharaj for a six to bring up his fifty and then mistimes his shot, which lands safely with fielders crowding near the ball. 

IND: 112/1 (11 overs)

Tabraiz Shamsi comes to bowl his second over and the spinner gets the same treatment by Shreyas Iyer, who hits him for two sixes. 15 runs come off the over as India edge past the 100-run mark in just 10 overs. IND: 102/1

Tabraiz Shamsi was introduced in the attack in the previous over and the spinner started with a 12-run over, which featured a huge six by Shreyas Iyer over the long-on region. 

Dwaine Pretorius comes to bowl the ninth over and he is welcomed by Ishan Kishan with a boundary. The show doesn't stop there as he ends the over in the same style as 12 runs come off it. Kishan is batting on 44 off 34 balls. IND: 87/1 (9 overs)

Wayne Parnell strikes as Ruturaj Gaikwad departs for 23(15). Gaikwad steps out but fails to get the desired connection as the ball flies to Temba Bavuma. South Africa break the partnership. 

Meanwhile, 12 runs and a wicket come off the over. IND: 63/1 (7 overs) 

Ishan Kishan and Gaikwad combine well and slams Anrich Nortje for 15 runs in his second over. Meanwhile, the duo also stitch a 50-plus stand for the opening wicket. IND: 51/0 (6 overs)

Wayne Parnell is introduced in the attack. The medium-pacer starts on an excellent note as just one run come off his over. 

Full toss by Rabada into Ishan Kishan's pads and the batter slams it straight past the bowler for a four. Rabada then recovers well and beats him in the following delivery. 

Meanwhile, Rabada troubles Kishan with his pace and bounce as an outside edge takes the ball for a four behind the keeper, almost close to the second slip. IND: 35/0 (4 overs) 

A huge LBW appeal against Gaikwad in the fourth delivery and the batter gets a top edge in the next ball, which will see the ball fly over the fine leg fence for a six. 

Gaikwad ends the over with a similar shot but this time the ball lands inside the playing area and is stopped by Wayne Parnell in the deep. IND: 24/0 (3 overs)

Maharaj has been replaced and it's Anrich Nortje, who'll be bowling the third over. He starts off with an excellent delivery as it beats Ishan Kishan on its way to the keeper. 

Second delivery is pitched wide and a desperate dive by Quinton de Kock but the wicketkeeper just gets his fingertips on it as the batters steal a single in the form of byes.

Kagiso Rabada is introduced from the other end and he starts off with a decent over. Bounce, slight movement, which saw the ball go past very close to Gaikwad's edge. 

Just two runs come off the over. IND: 15/0 (2 overs)

Ishan Kishan may have failed to get the desired connection in the first over but manages to get two boundaries out of it. One more comes in the form of byes as India reach 13/0 after 1 over.

Ruturaj Gaikwad will open the innings alongside Ishan Kishan. Keshav Maharaj will lead the attack for South Africa.

The last time an international match was played at the venue in New Delhi was back in 2019. In 2021 we saw four IPL matches taking place here and all of them were high scoring encounters. 

The dimensions are: 61 meters on the western side, 63 on the eastern, and straight down is 74. 

Good news dew won't play any role here. 

India: Ishan Kishan, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik, Axar Patel, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Avesh Khan 

South Africa: Quinton de Kock(w), Temba Bavuma(c), Reeza Hendricks, David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Wayne Parnell, Dwaine Pretorius, Keshav Maharaj, Tabraiz Shamsi, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje

Aiden Markram has tested positive for Covid-19. A big blow for South Africa, considering how good he was for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL.

“I think it's one of the proudest moment for me, so far in my cricketing career.” - Rishabh Pant on captaincy at toss

South Africa win toss and opt to bowl first.
