00:01Highlights brought to you by SBI, the banker to every Indian.
00:07We're all set for the final game of this T20i series.
00:11India win the toss and they've chosen to bat first.
00:14And the reason for that is because they've been prolific in the power play.
00:18Confirmation of their playing 11, Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma to open the batting.
00:23They're unchanged, Surya Kumar Yadav, Thilak Verma.
00:26South Africa on the other hand, they are unchanged as well but they have a few opening woes.
00:30Rickleton, Hendricks and Markram, so they wouldn't want to give away too many.
00:34Sanju Samson getting dismissed in the first over in the last couple of occasions.
00:38Abhishek Sharma getting dismissed quite early and that will be on their mind.
00:42They'll want an effective power play.
00:44Marky Janssen has a slip in place.
00:47Down.
00:51Just talking about the possible edge flying to slip here at the Wanderers.
00:57Little opportunity for South Africa, guys are begging.
01:00Quickly on to that is Samson. Power.
01:06That's wonderful hands. So good from Samson.
01:15Has he got enough control of that?
01:19It goes away to the leg side.
01:21In the high felt, it just keeps going.
01:24Force that, really force that out into the leg side.
01:31We speak about this outfield.
01:33It is very, very quick.
01:35That mid-ricot had just come up and Samson says thank you very much.
01:41First MMT-6 for Abhishek Sharma and he is up and running.
01:51And here's another one.
01:53Another pick-up, full shot.
01:55Another MMT-6.
01:58Edged.
02:00And fortune favours Abhishek Sharma just wide of Aindri Klassen.
02:08Fuller, this time he gets the connection.
02:10Hard-trick of sixes in that over.
02:17Oh, he's managed to squeeze it.
02:19Passed extra cover for another boundary.
02:23Edged and is that the first wicket?
02:25Yes it is.
02:26Sipabla strikes and Abhishek Sharma has to walk back.
02:31Taking room.
02:32Once too many.
02:33And paying the price.
02:3673 for one after 5.5.
02:39The Centurion from the previous game.
02:41Tilak Verma.
02:42Spin for the first time.
02:44What a shot from Sanju Samson.
02:48Reverse sweep and it finds the gap.
02:53Effective from Sanju Samson.
02:55Oh dear.
02:56Went the wrong way.
02:57Didn't see it at all.
02:58Has got a hold of this one.
02:59Nice shot.
03:00What a shot.
03:02Catch, catch, catch, catch is the shout.
03:03Oh, just over.
03:04Sufficient power to get to 50.
03:05He'll go again.
03:06He'll go again.
03:07He'll go for six again.
03:09He'll go again.
03:10He'll go again.
03:11He'll go for six again.
03:12Timed so well.
03:13Timed so well.
03:14Out.
03:15Positively.
03:16He'll go again.
03:17He's the shot.
03:18Lucking shot.
03:19What a shot.
03:20What a shot.
03:21良い, too.
03:22What a shot.
03:23What a shot.
03:24What a shot.
03:25What a shot.
03:26What a shot.
03:27What a shot.
03:28Catch, catch, catch
03:29the shot.
03:38Timed so well, oh he's gone again, slower delivery is met for 6, pulled away and it's
03:59just wide, a long leg, bang, oh that's gone a long way, it's a slowy, full again and 6 again.
04:23India dealing in 6s at the moment but 4s and 6s are aplenty.
04:286 hitting spree from the Indian batters continue, finds the gap and will get 4, follows the
04:43100 with a 50 in quick time of just 22 deliveries, his 4th T20i 50.
04:54Got that 6, 6s for Thilak Verma, that sounder here, reverse sweep for 6 this, beautifully done by Thilak Verma and this time it's just hit straight down the ground.
05:16In the air, this is definitely another opportunity, who gets under it, no, Maharaj once again, Thilak Verma survives.
05:29And that goes in the air, does it have the legs, of course it does, the free hit goes for 6.
05:38Wonderful timing.
05:39Out towards the third fielder on the boundary and it's put down.
05:53Goes straight, goes hard and moves to 99.
06:00That's his third T20i 100 in 5 innings, celebrated as it should by his team and acknowledged by Samson.
06:15What an innings.
06:22Right, the call was 2.
06:23Will they make it?
06:24Thilak has taken the chance.
06:26He puts the dive in.
06:28And it's back to back T20i 100 for the 22 year old.
06:34And both of the celebrations for these 100s have been entertaining.
06:41And the creativity continues.
06:44The confidence is high at the moment for this Indian batting pair.
06:48That is just power, muscled.
06:58That is brilliant batting.
07:06Picked up beautifully, out to the leg side.
07:09And that brings up a 200 partnership between these two.
07:12Using the space outside the off stump and clearing the boundary.
07:25Gets it nice and full.
07:27Telakfirma actually wanted the second but Sandra Samson was never interested in taking another run.
07:32And that will end.
07:34An incredible partnership.
07:36210 undefeated between these two of 93 deliveries.
07:43India made 283.
07:46And lost just one wicket.
07:49In their 20 overs.
07:51South Africa need to get to 284.
07:56In their 20 overs.
07:58Riza Hendricks.
07:59Ryan Rickleton.
08:01The two openers out there.
08:03Ashdeep Singh who is a decent exponent of swing bowling.
08:09There you go.
08:10Straight through.
08:12Magnificent bowling.
08:14Oxy then back in.
08:16And right on target.

08:58It went so far up into the sky.
09:02Everybody waiting with bated breath.

10:03Edge once again and finds vacant areas because there's three slips.
10:15Beautifully done.
10:17Waited for that one till the last minute.
10:24Finds the gap.

10:29Swings hard.
10:30Does he pick up the man on the fence?
10:31No he doesn't.
10:32He gets it over the boundary rope.
10:33Stuff swings and swings well again.
10:34That's the second one.
10:35It's onto the stands.
