Dawlat Zadran to D Miller, FOUR, 200 comes up. It was a better delivery. In the blockhole, just outside off, Miller makes room, bends down and brings his bat down to carve it to the right of backward point
19.0 -
Shapoor to D Miller, FOUR, unlucky! That was a decent delivery. Short and around off, Miller pulls and gets a top-edge which goes fine. Third man was inside the ring as well. Excellent over under these circumstances
17.4 -
Nabi to Duminy, FOUR, poor delivery from the experienced bowler, sprays it down leg, Duminy tickles it fine and teases Stanikzai all the way, the skipper chases, slides and all that effort goes to vain
16.2 -
Rashid Khan to de Villiers, FOUR, did that carry? Yes, it did. Again the length is short and on the stumps, de Villiers rocks back and pulls it flat towards deep mid-wicket. Shenwari was late to react, rushes forward and dives, the ball hits his hands and escapes. Trickles to the fence
14.4 -
Shenwari to de Villiers, FOUR, smart improvisation. Floated up outside off, de Villiers kneels down and reverse sweeps it fine. Beats short third man and Shenwari looks on disbelief
14.0 -
Rashid Khan to de Villiers, FOUR, another full toss from Rashid Khan and de Villiers is too good a batsman to miss out on those, goes down on one knee and sweeps it wide of deep mid-wicket, collects four more
13.4 -
Rashid Khan to Duminy, FOUR, bad delivery and it deserved the treatment. Low full toss on off, Duminy picks his spot, flicks it wide of long-on, Dawlat moves to his left and dives, all in vain
12.1 -
Shenwari to de Villiers, FOUR, top notch! Looked like a gentle whip to leg, but the timing was so good that it raced away to the fence, splitting deep mid-wicket and long-on. It was quicker and helped AB's cause
9.3 -
Amir Hamza to du Plessis, FOUR, lovely use of the feet, Hamza fired it outside off, Faf was up for it, reaches out by stooping low and drives it inside out to the right of extra cover, long-off had no chance
8.2 -
Rashid Khan to du Plessis, FOUR, Shapoor never looked like getting there. Tossed up just outside off, was the wrong 'un but the length allowed Faf to get down and sweep it square on the leg-side, Shapoor was never in the chase from deep backward square
5.4 -
Dawlat Zadran to du Plessis, FOUR, how fast is this outfield? That looked like a couple, but kept going away from the fielder. Slower delivery which is short in length, Faf delays the back cut, gets it to the left of backward point, third man is beaten comfortably
5.0 -
Shapoor to du Plessis, FOUR, that's a clean strike. Almost went the distance. du Plessis charges down, Shapoor seeing that drags it back, Faf goes through with the pull and hammers it over mid-wicket, hits the ad cushions on the half-volley
4.3 -
Shapoor to de Kock, FOUR, de Kock shimmies down, takes it on the full and creams it through extra cover, good use of the feet to get to the ball and those quick hands took care of the rest
4.0 -
Nabi to du Plessis, FOUR, good use of the feet. Not to get to the pitch of the ball, but backs away to give himself the freedom to loft, plays it beautifully over mid-off for a one bounce four
3.4 -
Nabi to du Plessis, FOUR, very full and almost in the blockhole, du Plessis moves to the leg-side, squeezes the drive through the cover region, no protection in the deep and that's four more
2.5 -
Shapoor to du Plessis, FOUR, wow! He played that almost after the ball had passed him. There was no slip in place. Back of a length delivery slanted well wide of off, Faf waits until the last second to steer it down to third man, gets it fine and beats the fielder in the deep
2.3 -
Shapoor to Amla, FOUR, Amla shuffles across and Shapoor tries to keep it outside off, that makes Amla's job easier, throws his bat on the drive, hits it uppishly to the right of backward point, who dived and couldn't get a hand
2.0 -
Dawlat Zadran to de Kock, FOUR, de Kock is dealing in boundaries. In fact, all his runs have come in fours. Very full and outside off, de Kock bends down, reaches out for the ball and slices it over backward point. Ends the over on a high
1.2 -
Dawlat Zadran to de Kock, FOUR, excellent cricket from the batsman and bowler. A top delivery and equally top shot. Curling into the blockhole, de Kock brings his bat down and squeezes the flick past the diving mid-wicket fielder
0.5 -
Amir Hamza to de Kock, FOUR, not missing out this time. Again, short and outside off, de Kock gets into a good position - back and across before slapping it in front of square, nobody bothered to chase it down. Third boundary of the over and South Africa are off to a flier
0.3 -
Amir Hamza to de Kock, FOUR, consecutive boundaries for de Kock. Bit of air on this one, is on the stumps, de Kock kneels down and nails the sweep to deep backward square leg, no one in the deep to stop that. Hamza is not happy with the field placing
0.2 -
Amir Hamza to de Kock, FOUR, de Kock is off and running. The angle became a disadvantage for Hamza, offers width outside off, de Kock waits and cuts it behind square, no one at backward point and the Wankhede outfield is one of the fastest
20.0 -
Dawlat Zadran to Duminy, SIX, South Africa end on a high. 20 runs off the last over. The leg-cutter from Dawlat, Duminy spotted it early, delayed the shot and smacked it over the long-on fence. Just about cleared the rope
19.3 -
Dawlat Zadran to D Miller, SIX, Dawlat misses the yorker length, but Miller doesn't miss, clears his front leg to free his arms, smashes it over long-on for a maximum. Nice clean strike that!
17.1 -
Nabi to de Villiers, SIX, even Nabi is not going to be spared. Once AB decides to go, who will be spared? Teased up on off, de Villiers moves across, kneels down and sweeps it over backward square. Way back into the stands
16.5 -
Rashid Khan to de Villiers, SIX, fourth six of the over and Rashid Khan is taking a hammering. Tosses it up on off, de Villiers gets underneath that and lofts it over long-on. The length was there to be hit and AB de Villiers is not going to miss out
16.4 -
Rashid Khan to de Villiers, SIX, fifty for de Villiers. What a shot to get there. Spare a thought for the young leggie. He is being carted all around the ground. Again fraction short and de Villiers is quick to latch onto it, moves back and smashes the pull over deep mid-wicket. The fielder is a mere spectator
16.3 -
Rashid Khan to de Villiers, SIX, fantastic shot! Flighted on off, de Villiers races down, gets to the pitch of the ball and lofts it straight back over the bowler's head. It ended up in the dressing room
16.1 -
Rashid Khan to de Villiers, SIX, you can't bowl a half-tracker to AB de Villiers and expect to get away with it. de Villiers was quick to use the depth of the crease, goes right back and smokes the pull into the stands at deep mid-wicket
7.3 -
Nabi to du Plessis, SIX, superb shot! That is such a difficult shot to play. Against the turn and with one hand coming off the handle. Flatter and just outside off, du Plessis makes room and punches it in the air over extra cover, timed it beautiful to collect six
5.2 -
Dawlat Zadran to de Kock, SIX, even better, this young lad makes batting look utterly easy. Moves to the leg-side to open up the off-side, the length is full and he gets under it, lifts it inside out over extra cover
5.1 -
Dawlat Zadran to de Kock, SIX, fabulous shot! Geez this guy is in some form. Not a bad delivery. Fuller and just outside off, de Kock goes through the line, lofts it handsomely over the bowler's head for a maximum
19.5 -
Dawlat Zadran to D Miller, out Caught by Naib!! Miller goes for after a cameo. It was well bowled by Dawlat. Doesn't offer pace on this length delivery, Miller is early into the heave, the top-edge skies towards extra cover, Naib moves to his left and reverse cups it. D Miller c Naib b Dawlat Zadran 19(8) [4s-2 6s-1]
17.3 -
Nabi to de Villiers, out Caught by Najibullah!! The carnage has come to an end. Afghanistan will breathe a sigh of relief seeing the back of AB. He comes down the track, Nabi drags the length back, the batsman heaves it to deep mid-wicket, got plenty of height but not the distance, Najibullah was the man patrolling the rope, he kept his eyes on the ball and took it just inside the rope. A well-judged catch that. de Villiers c Najibullah b Nabi 64(29) [4s-4 6s-5]
11.4 -
Amir Hamza to de Kock, out Caught by Mohammad Shahzad!! Taken on the second attempt. Afghanistan are fighting back. Two wickets in quick succession. This was beautifully bowled. Very, very slow through the air, de Kock kneels down to play the sweep, is early into the shot and also had to fetch it from way outside off, gets a feather to Shahzad, who stays low and does well to take it with the help of his thighs. Replays suggest that the ball got stuck in Shahzad's thighs and QdK got it off the toe-end. de Kock c Mohammad Shahzad b Amir Hamza 45(31) [4s-6 6s-2]
9.4 -
Amir Hamza to du Plessis, out du Plessis Run Out!! That was a bit too casual from the skipper. He was worried about his partner and instead of getting back into the crease, was standing out and waiting for de Kock to make his crease. Skips out and punches it to extra cover, Nabi gets his body behind and stops the ball, sees Faf wandering out and fires to Shahzad, who whips the bails off in a flash. de Kock was quick to say "NO" but Faf took ages to turn back and dive. Not sure what he was doing watching the ball. du Plessis run out (Nabi/Mohammad Shahzad) 41(27) [4s-7 6s-1]
2.4 -
Shapoor to Amla, out Caught by Stanikzai!! There's the wicket. Afghansitan would have wanted an early wicket and they have got one. Shapoor making a comeback to the side provides the breakthrough. Fullish and outside off, was there to be driven, Amla moves across to go over mid-off, looked like the ball stopped on him and he spooned it to mid-off. Stanikzai took the simplest of catches. Amla c Stanikzai b Shapoor 5(5) [4s-1]
