Justin Ontong, who last played an ODI for South Africa in 2012, will be fighting for a place in the 15-member final squad that will be released in January before the ICC World Cup event kick starts on February 14 in Australia and New Zealand.

Cape Cobras skipper Justin Ontong was disappointed with his team's performance after they lost to Northern Knights by 33 runs in a rain-hit Champions League Twenty20 match.

Cape Cobras were the semi-finalists in the 2009 inaugural event but could not make it to the final-four in 2011. Justin Ontong, who was part of both the outings under then skipper Justin Kemp, said that this time around Cobras have a realistic chance.

Dhawan toppled quite a few batting records en route to a 150-ball knock of 248. He overtook Virender Sehwag's 219 in an ODI against West Indies in 2011 to register the highest List A score by an Indian.

South Africa are now in with a chance of getting into the final. They need to beat India A on Monday in order to open the window of opportunity. Australia play India on Sunday and will look to extend their lead with a third victory.

Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina and Ambati Rayudu scored a fifty each as India 'A' put a huge total on the board. South Africa A fought hard but fell short by 18 runs on the Duckworth/Lewis method.

Justin Ontong, the Cape Cobras allrounder, has been included in South Africa's squads for the one-day and Twenty20 international series in New Zealand in February. Graeme Smith has been left out of the Twenty20 side, and another Cobras batsman Richard Levi will open with Hashim Amla in the format.
