Player of the Match

1.41pm That was quite an awful batting display by one of the best batting teams in the world. They were comfortably placed after the first third of the innings, but everything fell apart with another absolutely needless run-out, that of AB de Villiers. Two more run-outs in the innings and a middle and lower-order collapse, mentally and otherwise. India did what they had to do, stay disciplined, good fielding effort and keep things tight. Three checked boxes and India will need 192 to all but guarantee a top spot in this group.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar: Great performance, especially against SA, who score even off good deliveries. Team depends on me to take early wickets. Trying to bowl cross-seam to get something off the wicket."

Kumar to Duminy, 1 run, OUT, swung away. What is happening. Is that another run-out? There was a misfield. Tahir is run-out by a distance and South Africa are all out. Back of a length on leg, pulled to deep midwicket. Duminy wants two, but Tahir sends him back. After the misfield though, Tahir calls him through. But by then, the throw is already in and Duminy won't be able to make it. So he sends Tahir back, who dives but Dhoni takes the bails off in time.

Imran Tahir run out 1 (10m 7b 0x4 0x6) SR: 14.28

44.2

Kumar to Duminy, no run, full and straight, inside-edged into the body.
