On the eve of the match, social media was rife with people requesting all to pray to Goddess Durga for a rain-free Sunday. There was clear weather but no one could have ever imagined that there would be a floodlight malfunction, or a snake sneaking into the ground!

There was no stopping the Indian batters on a placid Barsapara Cricket Stadium. South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma had asked his India counterpart Rohit Sharma to bat first after winning the toss but some toothless bowling and the smaller boundaries didn't help the Proteas' cause as India reached a daunting 237/3, with 178 being scored in boundaries (25 fours, 13 sixes).
