South Africa can't manage to get through a thriller; which earlier seems to be a relatively easy task due to quite an ordinary target of 191 set by India batting first.
South Africa were going along well until captain Graeme Smith was there on the crease. But as soon as he departed (152/5) South African batting line crumpled to 178/8. Batting power play proved to be suicidal for South Africa same like India.
Skipper Graeme Smith played a healthy knock of 77 off 98 balls; but no one else manage to provide him a solid stand that leads to a nail-biting end of the match. Wayne Parnell played a sensible knock of 12 off 26 balls can't take South Africa home with victory.
Indian bowlers exhibited a good show under the leadership of Zaheer Khan; who took two wickets as Munaf Patel did for his side. Harbajan Singh, Ashish Nehra and Rohit Sharma shared a wicket each.
