However Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant were dismissed cheaply in the next over bowled by Keshav Maharaj. Soon Suryakumar Yadav was dismissed by Kagiso Rabada in the fourth over leaving India on 34 runs off 3 wickets. Virat Kohli and Axar Patel tried to stabilize the innings and the partnership managed to score 72 runs leaving India on 106 runs off 4 wickets. But Axar Patel was run out thanks to the quick throw by Quinton de Kock. Shivam Dube joined Kohli in the middle and the duo managed to score 50 runs off 32 balls. However while attempting a big hit to Jansen, Kohli was caught by Rabada. In the last over bowled by Anrich Nortje, India scored 9 runs, however Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja were dismissed and as a result India scored 176 runs off 7 wickets.
