As It Happened - India vs South Africa, 13th World Cup Match in Melbourne
Live cricket score and ball-by-ball commentary from the 13th World Cup match between India vs South Africa at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Melbourne on Sunday.
Shikhar Dhawan smashed a rollicking 137 as India rode on a clinical display to break their World Cup jinx against South Africa with an emphatic 130-run victory in a group B match on Sunday. Catch all the highlights of the match here: (SCORECARD | SCHEDULE)
Dhawan's career-best 137 propelled India to a comfortable 307 for seven before the bowlers performed brilliantly to bundle out the Proteas for 177 in 40.2 overs in what turned out to be a rather lopsided contest at the packed Melbourne Cricket Ground.
This was India's maiden World Cup win against South Africa after having lost the clashes in 1992, 1999 and 2011.
With two wins from as many matches, India now have a very good chance of qualifying for the quarterfinals as group leaders.
