Note : Unable to obtain ball by ball coverage (either on radio or TV),
therefore the first 12 overs are missing.

============================ Conditions ==================================
It was another cool and overcast day, unlike the day before when the day's
play was washed out due to rain. The start of play was delayed by an hour
to allow the ground to drain, especially the bowlers run, which was very
soggy. Around the table sawdust was laid in huge patches, making it very
difficult to field. The wicket itself had some bounce, but the outfield
was very wet. With a heavy outfield, and due in the night, the ball was
going to always be wet and difficult to handle.

============================ Substitutions ===============================
India        Batting  None.
South Africa Fielding None.
South Africa Batting  None.
India        Fielding Sharma for Dev.

============================== Attendance ================================
Attendance : 30 000
Capacity   : 30 000

=============================== Rule Differences =========================
1. No reduction in the overs unless more than 1 hour of play has been
   lost.
2. Overs will reduced at a rate of 1 over per 4 minutes of play lost.

============================= Comments ===================================
With the match starting 25 hours later, Donald and De Villiers troubled
the batsman continously in the first 10 overs, especially De Villiers who
beat Jadeja with all 6 balls in the 8th over. With India losing two quick
wickets (Raman and Amre) Jadeja and Azharuddin, got together and began to
stabilise the innings. Finally getting his batting to click, Azharuddin
played strokes all around the wicket and showed that he is not a
predominantly leg side player, by playing on the front foot in front of
the wicket on the off side. With the Indian nothing to write home about,
the RSA bowlers helped the Indians by bowling wides galore (this could be
because of the wet conditions underfoot). The one big question that will
go unanswered is what will have happened if De Villiers had been allowed
to continue for an over or two after his allotted first five overs, this
because he was continually beating the batsman in conditions which suited
him. As it is, both McMillan and Matthews (replacing Donald and De
Villiers) struggled to find their line and length. Once again the fielding
was brilliant with Cronje stopping definite fours on the boundary and
restricting the Indian's to 2 runs.

South Africa got off to a good start, but got into problems when the
spinners were introduced into the attack, (Kumble taking Hudson's wicket
with the third ball he delivered). The South African's then got bogged
after some fine spin bowling from Kumble and Shastri. Kumble was then
removed from the the attack and the South African's were able to breath
easier. With Indian's defending a small and the South African's always
looking like reaching the total, it must be wondered why, Azharuddin did
not block the ones by placing more fielders in the inner circle, for with
some excellent running between Rhodes and Callaghan and Rhodes and Cronje,
the South African's were able to pressurise the fielders and turned some
of the ones into two. Now if there were more fielders in the inner circle,
the South African's would have had to hit over the top, and this would
have resulted in more chances rather than what Rhodes and Co. did so well
taking the singles. Callaghan's run out was his first dismall in four
starts and the run out was brilliant. A brilliant throw from Jadeja
fielding at backward point dislogding the bails micro seconds before
Callaghan made his crease (in the end he was about 5-10cm short).
With this being an exhilirating match for the spectators, Jonty Rhodes
ended it with style, with a loftet six over long off. With the South
African's getting into the run chase at the end, Kumble had his worst
over in all matches played so far when in the 46th over, Cronje sent him
fine down to third man, with Cronje and Rhodes running an excellent 3.
Rhodes then hit him for four past cover point stole a run from the next
ball, 8 from 3 balls. Cronje then played one to a fielder in the covers
and 2 runs were stolen from the next two balls to leave Kumble with his
worst figures of the series. I just hope that, Rhodes and Co. learn from
this experience and start using their feet against the Indian bowlers
rather than going onto the back foot and getting into trouble.

======================== HISTORICAL EVENTS ===============================
1. Kumble's 7 (not out) was his highest score in ODI's (previous best
   being 7 at the 2nd ODI in Port Elizabeth).
