It should have been Klaasen, who attacked India's key spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel in the middle overs. His knock, which included five sixes and two fours, helped South Africa score more than 100 in the middle overs phase, plenty more than what India had managed. But Bumrah's last two overs yielded six runs and both Arshdeep and Pandya kept it tight on their end as well, conceding a solitary boundary between them in the death. They picked up seven wickets between them, with all three of Pandya's strikes including the big one of Klaasen coming in the death overs, eventually leading to heartbreak in the South African camp. Brief scores: India 176/7 in 20 overs (Virat Kohli 76, Axar Patel 47; Keshav Maharaj 2-23, Anrich Nortje 2-26) beat South Africa 169/8 in 20 overs (Heinrich Klaasen 52, Quinton de Kock 39, Hardik Pandya 3-20, Jasprit Bumrah 2-18) by 7 runs.
