Dane Paterson to MS Dhoni. Full toss, off stump on the front foot flick, in the air under control to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Behardien.
India finish on an imposing 188-4 after their onslaught at the back end which brought 103 runs from the last 10 overs. Bowlers were on top initially, using the conditions perfectly, but when the power play was over it was all India. Manish Pandey smacked the ball to all parts, especially against the spinners, and MS Dhoni played an innings we have all come to expect from him. Another tough chase coming up for South Africa.

Biggest shot of the day so far and that seals the victory for South Africa by six wickets. They now go to Cape Town knowing whoever wins will take the T20I series. JP Duminy was superb, batting most of the innings and seeing his team through to the end.
