South Africa could only manage 270 for the loss of seven wickets in their 50 Overs, despite a brilliant hundred from Quinton de Kock.
South Africa started well but wobbled in the end to reach 270. Quinton de Kock was brilliant at the top, scoring runs at will. But three wickets in three overs during the middle overs got India back to the game. The wicket of AB de Villiers changed the course of the innings. Axar Patel got the better of the Veteran.
Here’s How Twitter reacted to the 1st Innings!

Dhoni's luck turning ? With 3 spinners in the team, This was a good toss to lose. Pitch best for spinners in the afternoon.

India won't mind AB de Villiers batting so low. Sometimes by moving things around you dilute your strengths…….
