India had scored 169 for six in 20 overs, in reply, the entire team of South Africa could only score 87 runs and India won the match by 82 runs.
Dinesh Karthik said after the match, 'It looks great. I feel very safe in this setup. In the last match, things did not go according to my plan, but in this match I expressed myself. I feel like DK is thinking better now. He is reading the match situation very well and has come this far with better practice.He further said, 'I would like to give credit to my coach, who has prepared me like this by facing difficult bowling in the nets. This pitch was not easy for batting. Hitting the boundary was not easy. Our openers have given a good start so far. When I reached the crease, Hardik Pandya told me to take your time to get set. On such pitches it is necessary that a player stays. Bangalore is like home ground for me. I haven't played for RCB there but have played a lot there.
