Played at [New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg](http://www.espncricinfo.com/south-africa-v-india-2012/content/ground/59120.html)
SA 219/4 (20 overs) :eek: Ittni phainti :hehe:
Re: India in South Africa T20I Match
match stopped due to rain india were 71/0 in 7.5 overs
Re: India in South Africa T20I Match
SA won by 11 runs.
Re: India in South Africa T20I Match
So India travelled all the way to South Africa just to play one T20 match!
An ill-timed contest to say the least esp. when you consider that South African players have recently returned home after playing a full series in NZ & India too have played a fair amount of cricket in Australia + Asia Cup recently
A 2-3 match T20 series before the T20 world cup would have made greater sense
Re: India in South Africa T20I Match
for one t-20 Indians went all the way to SA and then got thrashed so miserably....toba toba....
Re: India in South Africa T20I Match
What a waste of resources. Back in the day, contests between countries meant something. A Test match was special. Nowadays, there are at least two international series going on all year around. Oversaturation.
Re: India in South Africa T20I Match

Re: India in South Africa T20I Match
Actually, I was backing India to win the game. With Virat Raina Rohit Dhoni and Yusuf to come...and Gauti and Uthappa chasing well till the rain.
Anyway, of course it sounds ridiculous to go to SA for 1 game, I have never seen this happened. but it was a charity game for Kallis' foundation so I guess that's something.
Re: India in South Africa T20I Match
I wonder if the money raised on this one game offset expenses such as flight to SA, arranging the game etc. Unless TV ad revenues were also given to charity, this does not appear to be a good move, even from charity viewpoint.
