<p>With a target of 288, India seemed on track at 116/1 but SA then took quick wickets as the visitors were stranded at 156/4. Chahar came on in the 40th over and wasted no time in his counter attack. However, a mistime to Lungi Ngidi's delivery caused a major upset as he was dismissed. India were then bowled out with 4 runs short of their target.</p><p>
