Meanwhile, South Africa kept losing wickets at regular intervals and the Proteas could never get going in their batting innings. Yuzvendra Chahal was the chief destroyer of the South African innings as he scalped four wickets and gave away 51 runs in his 10 overs.

Bumrah was able to produce the outside edge of Hashim Amla and also accounted for the wicket of Quinton de Kock.
