As for the game, it was also a highly entertaining match between the two sides. India won the toss and decided to bat first which was quite unusual for skipper Rohit Sharma. Coming onto bat first, the Indian team came up with a very poor start as both openers KL Rahul (9) and Rohit Sharma (15) were dismissed cheaply.
In-form batter Virat Kohli (12) also failed to take the score forward while World Cup debutant Deepak Hooda failed to even open his account. It was only Suryakumar Yadav who had an answer to South Africa pacers. The right-hand batter played a knock of 68 in 40 balls and took India to 133/9.
The target however proved quite easy for South Africa batter as they chased it down in 19.4 overs after losing just 5 wickets. As a result of it South Africa have moved to the top of the table while India slid down to the second.
