A comprehensive victory for India, though honestly the chase didn't make for very attractive cricket. From the team's point of view, the batsmen needed an opportunity to play themselves in and they did so today, in particular Taruwar Kohli.

It was a very different South African team today as we don't often see them fielding so many military medium pacers. Still, they took the pace off the ball and made the Indians work hard for their runs.

India remain on top of the table with four points from two games, thanks to Pradeep Sangwan's 5 for 44 this morning. He's also the Man of the Match.

South Africa face Papua New Guinea next at the same venue on February 21. India face West Indies here as well the next day. That's it from us here. We hope you enjoyed the coverage. This is Kanishkaa saying cheers!

could that be it? No. Half volley around of stump, Pandey goes for the across the line heave but doesn't time it well enough to reach the midwicket boundary

YAWN!

Pienaar to Kohli, no run

Oh and by the way, for the previous ball replays showed the ball brushing the fielder's cap just after the slide at the boundary. That would have cost 5 penalty runs for South Africa
