After the dismissal of Bairstow, Vijay Shankar came out to bat who started by smashing a six to Chahal, but his stay didn’t continue for long as he was dismissed by the brilliant fielding display of AB de Villiers and Shimron Hetmyer.

On the third ball of the 18th over bowled by Mohammed Siraj, Warner mistimed the length ball and ball went to the cover region while he attempted to slog it over. The ball fell in the vacant area and Shankar demanded the second run, but as Warner turned down for the second, Shankar was beaten by the throw. However, first DE Villiers went for the catch but when he saw that Hetmyer is going to collect in and knowing that he can’t make it, ABD the slide back which helped Hetmyer to aim a perfect throw.
