South Africa came out to chase the total of 248 and began on a very positive note. Both Amla and De Kock started with boundaries with Umesh Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar bearing the brunt of De Kock’s boundaries while Amla hit some beautiful boundaries.

But Dhoni knew it would be spin that will trouble them and bought Axar on early and he was rewarded with the wicket of Amla whe he was stumped trying to repeated a shot which had bought him a boundary early on. And Harbhajan accounted for De Kock who tried to hit a lofted shot too many.

Du Plessis and Duminy came together to stitch an 80 odd run partnership and threatened to take the game away from India. Du Plessis especially was playing the spinners well and was hitting boundaries easily. But a brilliant catch by Kohli ended Du Plessis’ innings on Axar’s delivery for 51 off 56. And then Axar caught Duminy in the front of wickets for 36.

Dhoni brought on Mohit Sharma and he accounted for the biggest wicket of all, AB de Villiers for just 19 to a brilliant diving catch by Virat Kohli. Bhuvaneshwar sent back Miller for a first ball duck. Behardien and Steyn threatened to take the match away from India and both hit some big shots including a six by Steyn.

But Yadav dismissed Steyn and Harbhajan got Behardien to a leg side catch, a decision that was dubious and again all the eyes will be on umpire Vineet Kulkarni. The tail tried to wag, but Bhuvaneshwar Kumar accounted for both Imran Tahir and Morne Morkel in the 43^rd over to win the match for India, with Kagiso Rabada stranded on 19 runs.

MS Dhoni won the Man of the match for his 92* off 86 balls with 4 sixes and 7 fours.
