3) India strike early but rain spices up the scenario
India dismissed both the opners within the first 6 overs for under 40 runs. But then the rain threat made every over seem like a last over, as South Africa had to ensure that they reach the Duckworth Lewis (DLS) par score and India had to restrict them from achieving just that. With the wet ball, it was obvious that Yuzvendra Chahal would find it extremely difficult to bowl his quota of 4 overs and when he came in to bowl, in his first over itself South Africa managed to go ahead of the DLS target, but the rain stopped completely just at that time.
