SA WIN BY 141 RUNS!!!

India 217 all out (41 overs) vs SA 358-4


Steyn claims the key wicket of Dhoni, who inside edges it back on to his stumps to be bowled after a good innings of 65 from 71 balls.

Mohammed Shami falls off the last ball of that over, offering a simple return catch back to Steyn.

India are bowled out 217 to lose by a massive margin of 141 runs.

India's batting disappointed on a pitch offering some bounce to the South African pacers. Except for Dhoni, who counter-attacked with a good innings of 65, and Kohli to some extent with 31, the rest of the batsmen failed to live up to their top billing.

Steyn, who started his spell with two maidens in a row, caused the most damage with his fiery spell of three for 25 in eight overs, including three maidens. McLaren took three for 49 in eight overs, while Morkel and Kallis picked up a wicket each.
