The South African pacers just dominated the Indian team at the Optus Stadium in Perth. Former South African pacer Morne Morkel is also delighted with the performance of the pacers in the match, and the pacers also made Morke’s prediction right about the number of wickets before ten overs.

Team India opted to bat first upon winning the toss, but the South African pacers ruined all the plans of the Indian batting lineup. Wayne Parnell started with a maiden over, and then Lungi Ngidi took over. Ngidi dismissed the Indian top-3 of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli within minutes. He also took the wicket of Hardik Pandya later on.
Anrich Nortje was also breathing fire on this Perth’s track, and he bowled a brilliant delivery to take the wicket of Deepak Hooda. India lost their 5 wickets for just 49 runs, and it will be interesting to see how much they will score in this match.
