India win by 28 runs. So the visitors' dominance in the limited-overs leg of their South Africa tour continues in the T20Is as well. Unadkat too got himself among the wickets dismissing Phehlukwayo (13) in the final over of the innings that ended at 175/9. Bhuvneshwar ends up with his best T20I figures of 5/24, to supplement Dhawan's 72 that helped India post a big total.
The win gives India a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

Two wickets in two balls for Bhuvneshwar, and he completes a five-for. First Klaasen (16) holes out to Raina at long-on searching for boundaries and then Morris dismissed for a first-ball duck in the same area and in the hands of the same fielder - Raina. Bhuvi missed a hat-trick but not India as Paterson (0) is run out off the last ball of the over. SA 159/8 in 18 overs. Four wickets in the over.
