While batting first India posted a below-average total of 211 runs and was bowled out by the Proteas. From the Indian batting side, skipper KL Rahul and opener Sai Sudarshan came up with half-centuries. Other than them no one even scored a 30 plus individual score. South African bowlers were bowling well, Nandre Burger took a three-wicket haul and only gave away 30 runs in his spell of 10 overs.

Chasing the target of 212 runs became very easy for the Proteas as Tony de Zorzi came up with a brilliant century. Tony scored 119 runs in 122 balls followed by an important knock of 52 runs by Reeza Hendricks. Indian bowlers did a very economical bowling but couldn't take many wickets, resulting in their loss.
