The bowlers set the tone early, with Prasidh Krishna and Kuldeep Yadav dismantling South Africa’s batting line-up, each claiming four wickets. Their sharp spells restricted the visitors to 270 runs, giving India a manageable target.

Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh also impressed, keeping the pressure on with disciplined bowling, especially with the new ball.
