Cheteshwar Pujara | not out | 123*(150) | 24 Fours | 1 Six | Strike Rate :- 82.0

The target seemed to be a walk in the park for the home team, as they cruised home, after some determined batting from Keaton Jennings (63) and Cheteshwar Pujara and some explosive baam baam hitting from AB de Villiers.

SO many players got dismissed in 90s. Great effort from us. We gave lead to them in 1st innings and still chased down the target batting last. Very good batting and bowlers supported well too.
