SA skipper Bavuma was delighted and relieved after Proteas managed to overpower Samson's powerful hitting in the final overs to claim a 9-run victory over India.

India batter Sanju Samson on Thursday played one of the most brilliant innings of his international career as he scored an unbeaten 86, but failed to take Dhawan-led Team India.

Klaasen scored an unbeaten 74 off 65 balls hitting six fours and two sixes to guide SA to victory against India by 9 runs in the first ODI played here at the Stadium in Lucknow.
