WATCH: Suresh Raina takes a blinder to dismiss JP Duminy
Suresh Raina is on a comeback trail into this Indian limited overs setup and has had a decent enough game until now.
He was sent in at number 3 to take the attack to the bowlers and attack he did, hitting a few beautiful shots in his cameo of 15 runs.
However, he was dismissed while trying to squat one over mid-wicket.
Now, when you have Raina in your XI, you can expect 100% commitment from him in the field and his out fielding skills were on display today, when he gobbled up a brilliant catch, running backwards and judging the ball to perfection.
JP Duminy wasn’t quite enjoying his time in the middle with bat, finding it hard to get going and Bhuvi was constantly asking questions off him, not allowing him to rotate strike or free his arms.
Duminy tried to force his way through, trying to flick one over the leg side, but the ball was a leg cutter from Bhuvi and thus JPD ended up getting a leading edge, which Raina caught hold off rather easily in the end

Match Situation
The Indian side are on top of this game now, with Miller too having departed. Miller was trying to hit Pandya out of the park, but a slower one from Pandya meant that Miller ended up dragging it to mid on(while he was actually looking to go over the top on the off side).
South Africa now need 150 runs in 12 overs and with Duminy and Miller back in the hut, it could be a tall order for this inexperienced middle order.
