| 1.6 : 1.6: Ali Khan to Reeza Hendricks, SIX! FIRST OF MANY TONIGHT! Back of a length outside off, Reeza Hendricks shuffles to his leg, walks down the track and lofts this flat and over the fence towards deep cover for a biggie. The wind helps deposit this over the fence for six runs. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: Saurabh Netravalkar to Reeza Hendricks, OUT! c Corey Anderson b Saurabh Netravalkar. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Jessy Singh to Aiden Markram, FOUR! Juicy half-volley outside off and Aiden Markram treats this well with an uppish drive in the gap between cover and cover-point for a boundary. Aiden Markram is looking good at the start of his innings. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Jessy Singh to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! On a length in middle and leg, Quinton de Kock looks to clear the fence but the ball travels off the toe towards the deep mid-wicket fence for a boundary. |
| 3.4 : 3.4: Jessy Singh to Quinton de Kock, No ball and Six! |
| 3.4: Jessy Singh to Quinton de Kock, Six! |
| 3.5 : 3.5: Jessy Singh to Quinton de Kock, SIX! Wow, Quinton de Kock is sending every ball into orbit here. Just short of a good length and on the stumps, de Kock picks it up by getting inside the line and lifts it high over deep backward square leg to make it three maximums in a row. 28 off the over with one ball still to go. |
| 4.5: Nosthush Kenjige to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! Quinton de Kock doesn't care whether it's with the breeze or against the breeze. Too short and over leg stump, de Kock stays back and muscles the ball away behind square leg for another boundary. |
| 4.6 : 4.6: Nosthush Kenjige to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries to end the over. Fuller outside off, Quinton de Kock drives this wide of the extra-cover fielder for a boundary through that region. Quinton de Kock looks set to play a big knock today. |
| 5.5 : 5.5: Ali Khan to Quinton de Kock, SIX! BANG! |
| 7.3 : 7.3: Steven Taylor to Aiden Markram, FOUR! Solid connection on that one! Speared in a bit full and around off stump, Aiden Markram attempts the reverse sweep and shovels it nicely over backward point for a boundary. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: Steven Taylor to Aiden Markram, SIX! Lovely use of the feet this time from Aiden Markram! Tossed up full and on the stumps, Markram skips down the pitch and lofts it with minimal effort over long on for a biggie. |
| 8.5 : 8.5: Harmeet Singh to Quinton de Kock, No ball and Four! There's the FIFTY for Quinton de Kock and what a return to form this has been for the southpaw. Oh, dear! Harmeet Singh has overstepped and that is pretty shoddy from the spinner. |
| 9.2 : 9.2: Steven Taylor to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! Oh, that's found the gap to perfection! |
| 10.5 : 10.5: Harmeet Singh to Aiden Markram, FOUR! DELICATE! Short of a length outside off, Aiden Markram stretches his arms and slices this finely wide of Aaron Jones at backward point to his right this time and finds the fence.  |
| 11.2 : 11.2: Corey Anderson to Quinton de Kock, SIX! WHACKED! Easy picking for Quinton de Kock as he smashes his fifth maximum of the game so far. Low full toss in middle and leg, Quinton de Kock clears his front leg and slogs this well behind the advertising board towards the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. |
| 11.5 : 11.5: Corey Anderson to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! CLEVER! Full and wide outside off, Quinton de Kock opens his bat face and slices this through the gap between backward point and short third fielder for a boundary. He is toying with the field here. |
| 11.6 : 11.6: Corey Anderson to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! INNOVATIVE! On a length wide of off, Quinton de Kock picks it up early and with the third man fielder inside the circle he reverse-paddles this for a boundary towards that region. This is cheeky from the southpaw. |
| 12.2 : 12.2: Harmeet Singh to Quinton de Kock, OUT! c Shayan Jahangir b Harmeet Singh. |
| 12.3 : 12.3: Harmeet Singh to David Miller, OUT! ONE BRINGS TWO! Fuller in middle, David Miller smashes this back to the bowler and he now has to walk back on a golden duck. |
| 14.1 : 14.1: Saurabh Netravalkar to Aiden Markram, FOUR! TOO SHORT AND PUNISHED! Short and wide outside off, Aiden Markram plays this late and cuts this bisecting the fielders on off behind the wicket for a boundary. This was perfectly placed between the fielders at short third and backward point. |
| 14.6 : 14.6: Saurabh Netravalkar to Aiden Markram, OUT! c Ali Khan b Saurabh Netravalkar. |
| 15.1 : 15.1: Nosthush Kenjige to Heinrich Klaasen, SIX! Up and just over the fence! Quick and flat at the stumps, Heinrich Klaasen backs away and forces the lofted shot off the back foot and hits it flat over the leaping fielder at long off for a six. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: Ali Khan to Heinrich Klaasen, SIX! In the slot and over the ropes! Too full outside off stump, Heinrich Klaasen stays deep and opens up the off side before slam-dunking it over the cover fence for a lovely six. |
| 18.1 : 18.1: Saurabh Netravalkar to Tristan Stubbs, EDGED AND FOUR! Slower delivery from over the stumps, a touch fuller and angling it across the right-hander. Tristan Stubbs hangs back and looks to hammer it on the off side but gets a thick outside edge that goes well wide of the keeper and rolls away into the third man fence. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: Ali Khan to Heinrich Klaasen, SIX! Picked-up and dispatched! Banged in well short and over middle, sitting up nicely for the batter. Heinrich Klaasen gets in position early and pulls it a bit off the top edge and gets enough power as the ball sails over the square leg fence. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: Ali Khan to Tristan Stubbs, FOUR! Glorious shot from Tristan Stubbs to end the innings! Ali Khan bowls it a bit full and at the stumps, Stubbs switches his position and plays the reverse scoop right back over the keeper's head with good timing and the ball goes into the ropes. South Africa finish with a huge total of 194/4 on the board! |
| 0.1 : 0.1: Marco Jansen to Steven Taylor, FOUR! Up and running in fine fashion! A bit of a loosener to begin with from Marco Jansen as he bowls this one short and wide of the off stump. Steven Taylor stands tall and slaps the ball away between point and backward point and picks up a boundary to get the run chase going. |
| 1.2 : 1.2: Aiden Markram to Steven Taylor, SIX! BANG! This is tossed up on a length around off stump, Steven Taylor gets a big stride forward and slogs it handsomely on one knee over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. That was some hit! |
| 1.3 : 1.3: Aiden Markram to Steven Taylor, FOUR! Now square of the wicket and Steven Taylor has come out with real intent here. Floated up on the stumps, Taylor goes down to sweep and hits it hard to the left of deep mid-wicket for a boundary. |

| 2.4 : 2.4: Marco Jansen to Steven Taylor, FOUR! The good old 'french cut' from Steven Taylor. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Kagiso Rabada to Andries Gous, FOUR! That is a stunning shot! |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Kagiso Rabada to Steven Taylor, OUT! CAUGHT! Steven Taylor trying to replicate his shot from the previous over but this one isn't full enough. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Marco Jansen to Nitish Kumar, SIX! Stand and deliver! That is a fantastic shot from Nitish Kumar. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: Marco Jansen to Andries Gous, SIX! Andries Gous now uses the wind to his advantage and goes with the wind to clear the fence. Short of a length and at the batter, Gous stays put and forces the lofted shot using the bottom hand and gets it over long on for another biggie. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: Kagiso Rabada to Nitish Kumar, OUT! c Tristan Stubbs b Kagiso Rabada. |
| 6.4 : 6.4: Keshav Maharaj to Aaron Jones, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Tossed up around off, turns away from the right-hander. Aaron Jones pushes at it and gets an outside edge on its way in the gloves of Quinton de Kock behind the stumps. A massive blow for USA as Aaron Jones departs without troubling the scorers. |
| 9.2 : 9.2: Anrich Nortje to Corey Anderson, SIX! GO FETCH THAT! Back of a length on middle and leg, Corey Anderson moves away from the line of it and pulls this flat and over the fence towards the mid-wicket region for a biggie. |
| 9.3 : 9.3: Anrich Nortje to Corey Anderson, OUT! CASTLED! Change in the length of the delivery and it deliverys for Anrich Nortje. |
| 11.1 : 11.1: Tabraiz Shamsi to Shayan Jahangir, OUT! LBW! A huge appeal and the finger is raised as Tabraiz Shamsi strikes on the very first delivery. Shayan Jahangir has a chat with Andries Gous at the other end and the review is taken. Shamsi tosses this one up a lot slower at around 80 clicks and floats it on middle stump. Jahangir looks to come forward and just work it on the leg side but the ball turns in and Jahangir plays all over it getting hit plumb in front. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball T |
| 11.3 : 11.3: Tabraiz Shamsi to Andries Gous, FOUR! Up and over! Nicely placed by Andries Gous but Marco Jansen will feel he should have done better in the deep. |
| 11.5 : 11.5: Tabraiz Shamsi to Harmeet Singh, FOUR! That's a gift and Harmeet Singh takes full advantage of the freebie. Too full and drifted down leg, Harmeet gets inside the line and paddles it down to fine leg for four runs. |
| 12.4 : 12.4: Keshav Maharaj to Harmeet Singh, SIX! Hammered away and Harmeet Singh makes excellent use of the long handle. Tossed up a bit too full and around off, Harmeet gets on the front foot and swats it away flat and well wide of Tristan Stubbs at long on for a biggie. |
| 14.3 : 14.3: Anrich Nortje to Andries Gous, FOUR! Too much heat on that one and Aiden Markram can't cut it off. |
| 14.5 : 14.5: Anrich Nortje to Andries Gous, SIX! Andries Gous going for broke here and USA are still in it. |
| 14.6 : 14.6: Anrich Nortje to Andries Gous, SIX! Another one and the FIFTY is up for Andries Gous, he is turning up the heat in Antigua. A slower bumper from Anrich Nortje, dug in at the body, Gous picks it up early, waits for it and pulls it well over deep backward square leg for another biggie. 19 off the over! |
| 15.1 : 15.1: Tabraiz Shamsi to Harmeet Singh, SIX! Tossed up around the pads, Harmeet Singh slog sweeps this way behind the fence towards the deep mid-wicket region and gets another maximum for his side. |
| 15.3 : 15.3: Tabraiz Shamsi to Andries Gous, FOUR! BRILLIANTLY HIT FOR FOUR! Short of a length on leg, Andries Gous moves to his leg and slams it over the bowler's head for a boundary down the ground towards long on. |
| 16.3: Kagiso Rabada to Harmeet Singh, FOUR! Up and over. Back of a length around off, Harmeet Singh jumps down the track and lofts this with the wind over the extra-cover fielder towards the shorter side of the ground for a boundary. |
| 17.3: Tabraiz Shamsi to Harmeet Singh, SIX! AUDACIOUSLY SMASHED! Tossed up way outside off, Harmeet Singh shuffles to his off and slogs this over the fence towards the long on region for a biggie. Pressure mountin on South Africa. |
| 17.5 : 17.5: Tabraiz Shamsi to Andries Gous, SIX! HIGH AND HANDSOME! Short of a length on the pads, Andries Gous swivels an pulls this all the way over the fence for a maximum behind the fence towards the deep square leg region. USA are inching closer to the finish line. |
| 17.6 : 17.6: Tabraiz Shamsi to Andries Gous, Six! |
| 18.1 : 18.1: Kagiso Rabada to Harmeet Singh, OUT! The pendulum swings again. Pitched up on the pads, Harmeet Singh flicks this but finds Tristan Stubbs stationed at the deep mid-wicket fence. Tristan Stubbs judges this well and takes this nice and clean to dismiss Harmeet Singh. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: Anrich Nortje to Andries Gous, FOUR! On a length following the batter to his leg, Andries Gous swings and manages to slice this one, falling just in front of Kagiso Rabada at short third and evading him for a boundary. |
