That's the end of the game and India wrap up a massive victory winning by 64 runs. South Africa was never in the game but that is more down to India's excellent performance than it was the former's poor effort. The bowlers will be pleased to move on from here. The pitch was flat as a pancake and did not offer much assistance either way. Stunning upset and a fantastic result for India! They came into the game as underdogs but showed plenty of grit and determination to fell the more favoured South Africas.
