South Africa vs India, 5th ODI - Live Cricket Score, Commentary
Series: India tour of South Africa, 2017-18 Venue: St George's Park, Port Elizabeth Date & Time: Feb 13, 01:00 PM LOCAL
Kuldeep Yadav 4-57(10 ov)
41.6
Kuldeep Yadav to Lungi Ngidi, FOUR, ruins the probable hat-trick. All the flight on it outside off and is smoked wide of mid-off
41.5
Kuldeep Yadav to Shamsi, out Caught by Hardik Pandya!! So the Proteas are in some hurry to end the misery. Kuldeep can't complain - he now has his third in the span of four balls. He is in an exclusive club now, past Murali, to firmly sit on top of the wicket charts for a spinner in a series in South Africa. Shamsi was kind as well. He charged, he hoicked, he toe-ended. Pandya sprinted from long-off, Dhawan from long-on, neither called. And Pandya's height is enough to pluck it out. Shamsi c Hardik Pandya b Kuldeep Yadav 0(1)
41.4
Kuldeep Yadav to Klaasen, out Stumped!! Dhoni makes a mess of the stumps. And India celebrate the mess. Can't blame Klaasen though. He decides to go for it and his way is to smoke it out of the park. Without bothering to read the turn. Done in with the flight itself, and the wrong 'un sneaks past the outside edge. Dhoni's gloves are a death rattle..for a reason. Klaasen st Dhoni b Kuldeep Yadav 39(42) [4s-2 6s-2]
41.3
Kuldeep Yadav to Morne Morkel, 1 run, full toss on middle, drilled down to long-on
41.2
Kuldeep Yadav to Rabada, out Caught by Chahal!! It was coming. It really was. With the run-rate touching nine, Rabada's strike rate of under-20 was hardly inspiring. He decides to break shackles with a slog, picks out the wrong ball, can't keep it down and picks out the fielder at short mid-wicket. Now then, Kuldeep equals the highest wickets by a spinner in South Africa. Muralitharan welcomes him to the club. Rabada meanwhile has a mouthful from Kohli as he departs. So he has some company on his date with the match referee tonight. Rabada c Chahal b Kuldeep Yadav 3(17)
41.1
Kuldeep Yadav to Rabada, no run, grunts in flight. Leg-stump and turning away. Smothered into the turf
37.6
Kuldeep Yadav to Klaasen, no run, nipping back in with the angle. Turned away to leg
37.5
Kuldeep Yadav to Klaasen, SIX, the horrors in the length continue. And Klaasen finds a new spot in the ground to tonk this one to. Chooses the straight sightscreen. With a version of the hoick
37.4
Kuldeep Yadav to Klaasen, FOUR, damn short. Klaasen amplifies it with a rock back, throwing everything into an ungainly agricultural pull. Chahal meanwhile at deep square leg runs, and when the time comes to dive ends up overdoing it
37.3
Kuldeep Yadav to Klaasen, no run, half tracker again, Klaasen checks his slap, chipping it back..almost into Yadav's palms
37.2

37.1

35.3
Kuldeep Yadav to Phehlukwayo, out Bowled!! Right through. Oh dear. That 23 off 5 seems more and more of an aberration. Obviously the wrong 'un, duh, dipping right in that zone around off to draw Phehlukwayo on a massive stride. Makes it look worse with the massive gap between bat and pad. Zips through, onto the top of middle. Phehlukwayo b Kuldeep Yadav 0(3)
35.2
Kuldeep Yadav to Klaasen, 1 run, 77kph, middle, but short again, allowing a nudge through the gap in mid-wicket on this occasion
