  1. Ind 132-1published at 15.1 overs

    Scores level

    Suryakumar Yadav misses with a flick and takes a leg-bye off Michael van Lingen.

    Virat Kohli takes his gloves and helmet off.

  2. Ind 131-1published at 15 overs

    Need 2 runs to win

    Just a single off the last ball of the 15th over.

    Looks like Virat Kohli is not going to bat in his final T20 international as India captain.

    A very fine knock from Rahul. The crowd are standing. It's been another fluent innings.

    He beautifully opened the face of the bat at the very end. He played it to perfection.

  6. Ind 127-1published at 14.3 overs

    Suryakumar Yadav carves it through point before picking up a single.

    Just six needed to win now...

    It was a poor ball from Trumpelmann. He was trying the slower bouncer but Suryakumar was waiting for it. He could see what was coming.

  9. Ind 121-1published at 13.5 overs

    Suryakumar Yadav mashes a poor slower-ball bouncer from Ruben Trumpelmann in front of square leg for four. He picked that very early.

  10. Ind 116-1published at 13.2 overs

    KL Rahul 46 off 32

    KL Rahul tramples Trumpelmann back over his head for four.

    Just one blow away from his 50 now.

    Rohit Sharma's tournament ends with another fine half-century.

    It's a superbly inventive shot. He flicked it like a man flicking his tie over the left shoulder.

  13. Ind 111-1published at 13 overs

    Target 133

    Suryakumar Yadav paddle-sweeps Nicol Loftie-Eaton for four. Sumptuous stuff.

    India pick up six from the over.

    KL Rahul certainly hasn't suffered much IPL burnout, carrying on his fine form from that tournament into this one...

  15. Ind 105-1published at 12 overs

    Need 28 from 48 balls

    More than enough time for KL Rahul to join Rohit Sharma in making a half-century.

    Will Virat Kohli get to bat?

    I sometimes overuse the word wristy to describe India's batting, but there's no other word for that shot.

  17. Ind 104-1published at 11.4 overs

    Rahul 40 off 28 balls

    Left-arm seamer Michael van Lingen is on and KL Rahul does an MS Dhoni tribute with a wristy, helicopter-esque, flick through the leg-side for four.

    Duly, Dhoni imitates the shot with a smile on the India balcony.

    It would have been phenomenal had this tournament taken place in India. The pitches would have been a lot better. We would have had more competitive games.

  19. Ind 96-1published at 11 overs

    Target 133

    Suryakumar Yadav lofts another shot towards the fence off leg-spinner Nicol Loftie-Eaton but only picks up one after Namibia shifted the field.

    A beautiful shot. All about picking the length and opening the shoulder to get the elevation.
