Live Cricket Score - India vs South Africa, 4th T20I

It's 2-2

What a comeback from India!! They appeared lost after going down 2-0 in the series, only to stage a spirited comeback. And this was a proper demolition job tonight. They absolutely hammered South Africa to pick up a 82-run win. The visitors were in control for the major part of India's innings before DK exploded at the death to give India the upper hand. They capitalised on it big time with the bowlers coming to the party. You got to say, India now have all the momentum going into the series decider on Sunday.

Chahal finishes with a bang

That's two on the night for him. Yuzi Chahal has been excellent and he finishes off his spell with Nortje's wicket. South Africa are 8 down after 15 overs.

Curtains?

A triple wicket over from Avesh Khan has pushed South Africa on the brink of a massive loss here. First Rassie holes out to the man at deep midwicket and then Jansen miscues one to get caught by the same fielder. And then off the final ball of the over, Keshav Maharaj departs for a two-ball duck. Avesh has four in his kitty now and he still has one more over to try and pick up a fifth wicket.

Massive wicket

That should seal the deal for India even though we are only halfway through the run chase. Harshal Patel gets the big fish. David Miller, the in-form batsman, has been castled and you can see the delight in the Indian camp. South Africa need something extremely special from here to ensure the scoreline doesn't become 2-2.

Chahal strikes

South Africa are slipping. They need a special knock from someone just like the one DK came up with for India. Another batter bites the dust as Klaasen fails to connect while attempting the sweep shot. He is trapped plumb in front. He also takes a review alongside him. 45/3 now.

A six-ball duck

The move to have Pretorius at 3 isn't always going to pay off and it is one such night. He looked completely rattled by Avesh's short-pitched deliveries because of the uneven bounce and another delivery on the shortish length fetches the bowler a wicket. Pretorius tried to pull but only managed to edge it to the keeper. India are in command here.

Needless wicket

That should have been avoided. De Kock doesn't connect one properly and the ball rolls towards the offside and is well within the bowler's reach. The two batters are indecisive in their attempt to take a risky single. De Kock advances a couple of times and realises he can't make it back in time and just gives up only for Harshal to complete the run out.

Early blow

The bounce is quite unpredictable on this surface and Avesh Khan is really troubling the batters. On one such occasion, Bavuma defends a delivery on the backfoot and then does some damage to his elbow. He is in serious pain and after a lot of deliberation, decides to walk back to the dressing room. He is retired hurt as Pretorius walks out.
