2256 hrs IST: QUOTES!
JP Duminy: One of my best innings. We knew it was a tough total to chase. The middle overs were crucial. I have enjoyed my time in India, love playing IPL. It's a good start for us on a long tour.
Faf du Plessis: Fantastic chase for us under pressure. Great game of cricket. We came back well.
MS Dhoni: 199 was close to par. We had to bowl well, but we gave away too many runs at phases. When some decisions don't go in your favour, it puts pressure: Dhoni on umpiring blunders. Execution is crucial and wicket was good enough to chase 200 runs. Duminy played well.
2238 hrs IST: South Africa win by 7 wickets with 2 balls to spare. Duminy is hero with 68 off 34 ball (7 sixes). 105-run stand between Duminy (68) and Behardien (32) nailed the Indians. Ashwin 1/26, Aravind 1/44. For the first time India have lost a match after posting 180-plus in their first innings. South Africa have done a fabulous job to chase down this big total. They got off to a flying start as de Villiers and Amla scored quick runs in Powerplay. De Villiers was dismissed as soon as he crossed his fifty and then du Plessis departed in no time.
2234 hrs IST: SA 190/3 after 19 overs, need 10 off 6 balls. Duminy 59, Behardien 31. Aravind bowling the final over of the match. SA need 10 to win with 7 wickets in hand. Aravind can become India's hero on his debut. Will SA choke?
2227 hrs IST: FIFTY! Duminy gets to his 50 off 28 balls with boundary No. 1. He has five 6s. SA 180/3 (18.1 overs)
