...The Presentation...
India on the other hand, just could not get going. Dinesh Karthik played brilliantly but could not kick on. They needed a big stand or someone to score a big score but that did not happen. In the end they went down by a huge margin despite the knock from Deepak Chahar at the back end.
All of their bowlers got a wicket at least, they did go for a few runs but the key was picking wickets which they did. Dwaine Pretorius ended with three wickets to his name.
A consolation win for South Africa but a morale boosting one. The ton from Rilee Rossouw set it up. That saw South Africa end with a massive score and then their bowlers came to the fore. They kept picking wickets despite going for runs which just made it difficult for South African to finish the game pretty early.
