India and South Africa are clashing for vital points in their T20 World Cup encounter. The high-voltage match is taking place in Perth, Australia.

As expected, the pitch is favouring fast bowlers and they are pitching full. Wayne Parnell started the first over and went absolute perfect with his length. The first over turned out to be a maiden as KL Rahul couldn’t amass anything. The second over was delivered by Kagiso Rabada and his first two balls were also spot on. However, Rohit Sharma had other ideas as he hit the third ball for a huge 81-meter six. These were India’s first runs on the scoreboard. It seems the Indian batsmen are in the moo of some big stroke play. 

Soon after Sharma, KL Rahul hit Parnell for another 84-meter six.
