============================ Conditions ==================================
It was a cool and cloudy day with rain falling up until 1200. With the
weatherman predicting an 80% chance of rain, everyone expected the match
to go 50 overs (It just shows what a good group of liars the weathermen
are). The pitch was much truer with the bounce going through at normal
height to the wicket keeper and also faster than the two pitches
encountered so far. With all the rain falling during the day and night the
out field was a bit on the slowish side but still fast. It is a good
batsman wicket.

============================ Substitutions ===============================
South Africa Batting   None.
India        Fielding  Chetan Sharma (12th man) for Mohammed Azharuddin.
South Africa Fielding  Glenn Abbot for Andrew Hudson.
India        Batting   None.

============================== Attendance ================================
Attendance : 18 000
Capacity   : 16 000

Note : The extra 2 000 comes from the fact that there is a lot of place
       on the grass banks, and by squeezing them in, you raise the
       grounds capacity.

=============================== Rule Differences =========================
1. A minimum of 25 overs must be bowled to achieve a result.

============================= Comments ===================================
With Azharuddin winning the toss and electing to field on a wicket that
was full of runs RSA got off to a good start with Hudson and Wessels. The
RSA batsman needlessly run themselves out (Hudson and Rhodes). Rhodes was
run out after hit a ball into the air, only for it to fall between two
fielder, wanted to take the second run (that was on) but Hudson did not.
Dev saw this and threw to the bowlers end to run Rhodes out. Hudson was run
out after being stranded in the middle and Callaghan not moving out of his
crease. With the good start that RSA got off to, a total of about 230-240
was being touted as a possible total. This was before the spinners Kumble
and Shastri got into the attack and restricted the South African's. This
was to lead to their downfall (even though they did have wickets in hand).
Cronje (hero of the 1st ODI) was bowled trying to boost the run rate from
the first ball he faced. On the other hand, Callaghan could not do anything
wrong and made a quick 32. McMillan came in and did well to survive to the
end. The best shot played was Andrew Hudson, driving past the bowler to the
long off boundary and the ball just missing the stumps at the bowlers end.

The Indians also got off to a good and the impression was that chasing a
target of 215 for victory, India had to lose the match rather than for RSA
win. After Jadeja was out and the run rate approaching 5 to the over, Amre
was sent in to try to boost the run rate. This unfornately for the Indian's
back fired. After this they went back to their normal line with the only
question being - At which spot will Shastri come in? He did come in at 7
after Azharuddin and Tendulkar made their highest totals in the three
matches played and Dev was out for 1. Dev's dismisall was classic. The
first three balls he played defensively, and on the fourth Wessels
realising that Dev was not a person to play four defensive shots in a row
in the last 10 overs, dropped his midwicket down to the boudary. The set up
was complete, all that was required was for De Villiers to pitch a ball on
middle and leg and for Dev to take a swipe at hit - and swipe he did,
missing the ball completely and seeing his middle stump being uprooted.
However this only brought Shastri to the crease and he along with Raman
went after the RSA bowling. When Raman skied a delivery from Donald,
McMillan was there to pick it up, diving forward as though he was in the
slips except that he was at midwicket. More came in, and together with
Shastri, made sure that the match was put out of South Africa's reach. The
RSA bowlers no matter how had they tried, could not maintain a line and
length and continually strayed down the leg side. When they did put one
down the off side, the Indian batsman struggled and it was only through
good luck that the edges went for four - wide of any fielder.

======================== HISTORICAL EVENTS ===============================
1. Hudson (RSA) became the first player to score 50 in an ODI in South
   Africa.
2. Hudson's 87 was his highest score in ODI's.
3. Raman (India) became the first player to score a century in an ODI in
   South Africa.
4. Raman's 113 was his highest score in ODI's.
5. Raman's 113 is the highest ODI score in South Africa.
6. Umpire Wolf Diedricks stood in his first International in the middle
   (afer) having sat in the TV room for the first two.
