India v South Africa, 3rd ODI, Ahmedabad

1. The 113-run partnership between Hashim Amla and Loots Bosman: South Africa have been struggling for a good start in the series and it all came together today in style for them.

2. AB de Villiers' sparkling ton : It proved the difference between a good total and a match-winning one in the end.

3. The stranglehold in the middle overs: Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma lifted India from 40 for 2 with a 95-run partnership but the run rate was very slow. Roelf van der Merwe combined with Morne Morkel and Johan Botha to slip in a slew of tight overs and both batsmen couldn't break free. The run rate climbed which resulted in a clutch of wickets and it was game over.
