============================ Conditions ==================================
It was a hot day, with a 20% chance of showers during the course of the
afternoon and evening. With rain having fallen during the previous night
and during the morning, the outfield was a bit on the slowish side. There
was not much grass on the pitch which was rolled very heavily. The bounce
was even, but the pace was a bit on the slow side of fast.

============================ Substitutions ===============================
India        Fielding Srinath for Jadeja.

============================= Comments ===================================
With South Africa sent in to bat (I later found out that South Africa
would have batted first even if they had won the toss, because they need
practice at setting a total with the triangular series scheduled for
Februrary 1993). South Africa did not get off to a very good start losing
Hudson early on and resulting in Wessels and Kirsten having to build an
innings together. This they did admirably and with Kirsten in full cry
after hitting for two sixes in two overs, he was out to Shastri after
playing early and skying a ball to Manjrekar. This then brought Rhodes to
the crease and with Wessels also blazed away, this time Raju being the
unfortunate victim, when Rhodes got maximum from him. However with Rhodes
and Wessels, trying to force the pace they did not last enough. With their
demise inside two overs, run flow stopped. With 5 overs to go, the flow
started, but this time runs were coming and wickets were falling, for in
the space of 6 overs RSA lost 4 wickets for the addition of only 47 runs.
Definitely not what is supposed to happen in the last couple of overs.

When the Indians came out to bat, the total it seemed was 20-30 runs short
of a target suitable to defend. The RSA bowlers however had other things
in mind and in what was one of the most hostile spells from Donald, it
seemed as if the Indians were going to have to work to win this match.
A big worry for the South Africans came in the 5th over, when the Indians
took a quick single and Rhodes coming in to collect and take a shy at the
wicketkeepers end, slipped and fell face first into the ground and took
out all three stumps with his shoulders. Immediately after this a hush
fell upon the ground and it seemed as if the King of Kingsmead will have
to leave the ground prematurely. But Rhodes after some treatment got up
and took his place, although it did take him a couple of overs to regain
his composure and become the person that we all know him to be once again.
After Prabhakar and Jadeja saw of the opening bowlers, they came up
against Pringle and Matthews (McMillan was rested for this match), who
continued the strangle hold on the match and got the initial
breakthroughs. Once the Indian opening pair, were sent back to the
dressing rooms, wickets fell regularly with no one staying long enough to
anchor the innings and allow the batsman at the other end to chase the
target for the required run rate was creeping up and up and up. The only
person to show some degree of being able to fathom the RSA attack was the
Indian captain and once he had departed in the 41st over, it was going to
prove an uphill battle for the Indians, to put the RSA bowlers away who
once again were bowling line and length and also more importantly to
their field. With bowlers doing so well, the fielders shone chasing every
ball around the field as if victory or defeat was dependent on whether the
Indians got the 4 runs or whether South Africa saved the 4 and gave the
Indians only 2 or 3. As in the series, the RSA fielding was brilliant.
In the end, the South African's had dismissed India in under 50 overs for
the third time and gave an indication of what they can do if they have a
reasonable target to defend.

The one cloud hanging over the match, must be that the umpires were not in
total control of the match and were continually pressurised from the
players to give them the decision that they wanted, e.g the Indians got no
balls and wides, and the South African's Manjrekars wicket after
Callaghan had overstepped, and Manjrekar and Tendulkar took a quick
single only for Hudson to hit the stumps at the non strikers end with a
direct hit. The umpire did not call for a television replay, only asking
for it after appeals from the South African players.

======================== HISTORICAL EVENTS ===============================
1. Yadav became the first Indian wicketkeeper to take a wicket in this
   series.
