It's all tense in Johannesburg where the home side, South Africa, is trying to chase the target of 202 against the visitors India, that too in the series decider with the former leading by 1-nil since the first game was washed out. Pacer Mohammed Siraj started the innings brilliantly with a maiden against batter Reeze Hendricks and, later, ended his struggle with an outstanding direct hit.

It was after Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav slammed a 55-ball century to take the side's score to 201 after the end of their 20 overs. He was very well complemented by opener Yashasvi Jaiswal with a breezy half-century.

Coming back to the run-out, Hendricks, during the second ball of the fourth over, which Arshdeep Singh bowled, decided to run after playing a shot to mid-on where Siraj was stationed, who didn't take much time to collect the ball and throw it at the non-strikers end.

His exemplary fielding saw the stumps getting broken, with Indian fielders showing their excitement and all of them being certain that it was out. The replays confirmed the same, which saw the batter out of his crease by a few inches, hence, ending his role in this game.

This left the African side reeling at 23 for two wickets down after 3.2 overs, as after that, the ball started to turn a bit, causing trouble to the batters. By the time of writing, the Proteas were 75 for five with ten overs done and dusted with still 127 required off the last ten.
