India's batters enjoyed the pitch, which was great for batting and had good bounce. They hit a record 23 sixes in the match. Sanju Samson smashed 9 sixes, while Tilak Varma hit 10 sixes.
The opposition’s top bowler, Gerald Coetzee, didn’t seem fully fit, which made things easier for India. Medium pacers Andile Simelane (0/47 in 3 overs) and Lutho Sipamla (1/58 in 4 overs) struggled a lot. Together, they gave away 10 sixes to the Indian batters.
