World T20: Hardik Pandya takes 3 wickets as South Africa post massive 196-8 in warm up match

India are taking on South Africa in the hosts' second warm up match ahead of the main round of the ICC World T20. India were comfortable victors against West Indies in their first warm up match at Eden Gardens, but have been given a much stronger test by South Africa in the second warm up tie at Wankhede Stadium.

Batting first, South Africa have posted a massive 196 for the loss of 8 wickets, with JP Duminy and Quinton De Kock the top scorers for South Africa. Duminy made 67 off 44 balls and De Kock made 56 off 33 balls.

The current warm up matches allow for players to retire after having spent enough time on the crease, and this was seen when De Kock retired on his score of 56 to give way to Faf du Plessis.

The score will certainly be a stern test for the in-form Indian batting line up, and will serve as good preparation for the main round of the tournament.
