Captain Suryakumar Yadav also scored a crucial 56 runs in 36 balls and stitched a 70-run partnership with Rinku Singh. Due to rain, the target was reduced to 152 runs in 15 overs.
South Africa achieved the target in 13.5 overs with five wickets and seven balls remaining. Opener batter Reeza Hendricks provided a blazing start and made 49 runs in 27 balls. Tristan Stubbs and Andile Phehlukwayo played cameos to help South Africa reach the target.
