The match between the India National Cricket Team and the South Africa National Cricket Team was part of the ICC Cricket World Cup. India dominated the match, defeating South Africa by a massive 243 runs.
- India’s Total: 326/5 in 50 overs
- South Africa’s Total: 83 all out in 27.1 overs
Key performances included:
- India: Ravindra Jadeja starred with the ball, claiming 5 wickets for 33 runs, while Kuldeep Yadav supported well with 1 wicket for 7 runs.
- South Africa: None of the South African batsmen could sustain much resistance, with Tabraiz Shamsi being the top scorer with just 4 runs, as South Africa crumbled under pressure.
This victory was a comprehensive one for India, with South Africa’s innings falling apart early due to fine bowling from India’s spinners. Jadeja’s outstanding 5-wicket haul restricted the South Africans to a low total.
