India won the toss and elected to field…
After 68 ODIs century partnership by South Africa’s openers. The last time it was also against India at Ahmedabad in Feb 2010.
SA 115/0 (24 Overs )
Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
good play by S. Africa but so far India has managed to keep the RR around 5 after 27 overs. wicket is needed...important to break the partnership.

Mohammed Shami to Amla, OUT, well the Powerplay brings a wicket but it wasn't off a forceful shot! Shami tucked him up for room outside off, Amla was half-hearted in his attempt to run that square on the off side, ended up getting an inside edge to the stumps, the off stump was pegged back slightly
*HM Amla b Mohammed Shami 65 (88b 5x4 1x6) SR: 73.86 *
FINALLY, a wicket to India...Amla is OUT!!! :)

Mohammed Shami to Kallis, OUT, spooned to cover! It was a similar pitched up delivery outside off like the previous one and Kallis looked to chip it over the infield, hits straight to Jadeja
**JH Kallis c Jadeja b Mohammed Shami 10 (14b 2x4 0x6) SR: 71.42
MoHammad Shami takes another wicket...:)
**
Shami gets 2 in consecutive overs. he bowled from the other end and got a wicket. good move by Dhoni.
AB de Villiers, the danger man, is in. India must send him back to pavillion ASAP. :)
*a SIX from the FREE hit by de Kock! *
a fine century by de Kock...congrats.

*Q de Kock c & b Kohli 135 (121b 18x4 3x6) SR: 111.57 *

Kohli to de Kock, OUT, the bowling change brings a wicket! After getting smashed for a huge six, Kohli bowls it slower on the pads and de Kock plays a loose drive, chipping it back to the bowler, lucky bowling change by Dhoni, de Kock goes back for a fine 135
a breat knock by de Kock indeed.
Re: India Vs SA ODI Series

Mohammed Shami to de Villiers, OUT, AB not so lucky this time! Attempts to slog him over fine leg again, moves across his stumps and exposes all three, the ball goes straight through and knocks down the off stump, lands a few yards back

South Africa 352/4...looks like India will need to score 360+ to win...chase will be extremely difficult...but let's see!
**
105 run partnership...cameo by Duminy.
S. Africa ALL OUT for 358/4...India will need 359 to WIN! :)
Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
358/4 off 50 overs.
Last 5 overs 84 runs
135 off the last 10
Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
358 for 4 - that's one short of what Australia scored against India at the 2003 World Cup final at the same venue. Still have nightmares of that?
Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
agar Steyn ke 10 over India jhel gayaa to jeetne ke 50% chances haiN varna 35% se ziyaada nahiiN...agar 2-3 wicket gir gaye to gaye kaam se...top 6 batsmen agar avsatan 50 run banaa deN aur un meN se koii ek [Kohli/Dhawan/Rohit] century banaa sakeN to jeetnaa utnaa mushkil nahiiN hogaa...
...mujhe to lagata hai k aaj India haar jaayegii...!!! but cricket is a game of chance. :)
i'll hope for the best and expect the worse! :) :(
pink seems to be lucky for the Proteas! :D
Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
Looks like India have 0% chance of winning this match... :D

Looks like India have 0% chance of winning this match... :D
shubh shubh bolo jii! :D
Steyn is really making batsmen uncomfortable...Steyn is frustrated that he has bowled 15 balls as a cluster in the same area and nothing happened. :)
Dhawan and Rohit...bear Steyn's remaining overs and then you guys will be in business...
...Yuvy MUST score tonight...he has to or else he will be shown the door.
**
MORKEL takes Dhawan OUT! he played an irresponsible shot!** :(
Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
Sharma is batting like Misbah...4* (30)... :D

Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
Ind 60/3 off 15.0 overs...not looking good for India after winning 6 straight series...

Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
India all out on 217 playing 41 overs and SA win by 141 runs… :k: 
Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
Cricinfo:
South Africa thrash India by a whopping 141 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the series. It means India need to win the next two to take the series. India discovered that chasing 350 against a far superior bowling attack, without any assistance from dew was a completely different proposition to the scenario back in India in October. Fair to say that India were outplayed by pace and bounce. Let's not forget that their bowlers were carted around in the last ten. Plenty of issues to be addressed.
