152 from 15 overs?

Sibi Joseph: "Those two wickets at the end will have a say in the revised target, might well do SA a favour here"

Sai: "Coetzee got robbed. He could've had his hat-trick!"

Right then, we are moments away from the run-chase. With the conditions being a bit damp now, it will be interesting to see how well the Indian bowlers control the ball. The powerplay would be decisive from the point of view of both sides.

Reeza Hendricks and Breetzke are at the crease. Reeza Hendricks is on strike. Siraj will open the attack

0.1 Siraj to Reeza Hendricks, FOUR, streaky rightaway but gets lucky! On a back of a length outside off, swings away a bit, Reeza Hendricks pushes at it tamely and gets an outside edge through the region where second slip would exactly would have been. The fielder in the deep puts in a lazy effort and allows the ball to run through.

IND 180/7 (19.3)

RSA 5/0 (0.2)

CRR: 15 REQ: 10.02

South Africa need 147 runs in 88 balls - 2nd innings reduced to 15 overs due to rain, target 152

0.4 Siraj to Reeza Hendricks, FOUR, shot! Fractionally overpitched outside off, Reeza Hendricks leans into it and strokes it beautifully past extra cover to find the fence. All grace and timing

0.5 Siraj to Reeza Hendricks, FOUR, edged but safe! Hard length ball outside off, Reeza Hendricks fishes at it again. The thick outside edge flies past the right side of Gill at second slip and runs through to the fence
