India aced by South Africa pace

Rohit Sharma-led India were caught like deer in front of car headlights by the South Africa pace pack led by Lungi Ngidi and were stopped at 133 for 9 after skipper Rohit Sharma opted to bat first.

Barring Suryakumar Yadav, who struck a brilliant 68 off 40 balls, none of the Indian batters could cope with the spicy South African pace attack in which Ngidi was outstanding on a helpful track and in cold conditions with splendid figures of 4 for 29.

In the run chase, South Africa was rocked by a twin strike by left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh but then recovered brilliantly to post 137 for five in 19.4 overs and clinch the game.
