After choosing to bat first, the Men in Blue set a solid total of 176/7 in their allotted 20 overs, thanks to impressive innings from Virat Kohli (76 off 59) and Axar Patel (47 off 31). In response, South Africa managed to score only 169/8 in their 20 overs, with Hardik Pandya (3/20), Arshdeep Singh (2/20), and Jasprit Bumrah (2/18) taking key wickets.
