Note: There was a Television and Radio blackout between the 10th and 14th
      overs.

============================ Conditions ==================================
It was a hot and humid day, with a cool breeze coming in off the sea.
There was not much pace or bounce on the wicket. However the outfield was
very fast. The outfield did slow down a little after there was some rain
during the Indian batting stint. After the rain, the ball got to turn a
lot from the heavy atmospheric conditions.

============================ Substitutions ===============================
South Africa Batting  None.
India        Fielding None.
India        Batting  None.
South Africa Fielding M Pringle for B McMillan

============================= Comments ===================================
The South African's did not get of to a good start when Hudson, was sent
back to the dressing room, after a ball had stayed low and struck him
firmly on the pad. This then brought Kirsten in, and he - together with
his captain went about trying to restart the innings. However, they did
stabilise the innings, but with the wicket being easy paced, they took
long and this then put pressure on the rest of the batsman. After Kirsten
and Wessels had departed along with the luckless Callaghan (getting a
bottom edge to the ball and wicketkeeper Yadav, doing very well to hold
on to the ball), Rhodes and Cronje set about trying to instill some
measure of order into the RSA target which, if the bowlers wanted a
chance at defending, had to be in the region of about 230 to 240 since
the wicket did not offer much help to the batsman. Rhodes and Cronje did
the job admirably well, and were very adept at stealing the short singles
but even though they kept the score board ticking over, they were not
able to get the boundaries and really get on with the run chase. It
should be noted that in a very quite innings, Rhodes unlike his
character played the anchor role to Cronje whose job it was to take the
risks. Finally when Cronje went in the 48th over, it seemed as if RSA
might just be able to get to 220, but then disaster. Rhodes followed
3 balls later trying to force the pace. Indians then stopped any run
chase that would have been possible when McMillan trying to get the runs
went on wild swings and the Indians bowlers bowled intellegently and did
not give him room to play the shot. On the ball last in attempting to steal
1 runs, Matthews was run out after McMillan had dabbed the ball down
and set off for the run. Dev run in and hit the stumps with Matthews
outside his crease. The last 3 wickets falling in 2 overs for 4 runs.
Not what any side would want to happen in an ODI.

India also got off to a slow start losing wickets early on. With
Prabhakar going in the 5th and Manjrekar and Tendulkar following in the
15th and 16th overs, it was once again the job of the capatain Azharuddin
to save his side. Together with Amre he went about salvaging the situation
along with some help from the South African's. For the first time in the
series, the RSA game plan was disrupted when McMillan sprained his right
ankle when trying to stop a delivery from Tendulkar being hit past him.
This injury then forced Wessels to allow McMillan to bowl his full 10
overs on the trot. By doing this he then had to bowl his 5th bowler pair
later than he wanted to. This resulted in pressure being put onto the
RSA fielders. This pressure on the RSA fielders did nothing to stop Amre
running his captain out. Callaghan had overstepped the mark, with the
resultant ball being a no-ball. Amre played the ball onto his body and
set off for the run. Azharuddin responed. The ball then dropped onto his
knee and he then kneed(?) it onto his foot and in the process kicked it
directly into Callaghan's hands who then had to just hit the stumps, and
which he did, to run Azharuddin by the proverbial mile. To illustrate this
the umpire did not even call for the television replay. However, the
dismisall only brought Dev to the wicket, and with the run rate
approaching 5 1/2 to the over, something drastic had to be done. Dev
however did not play his smash wham thank you game but instead went for
singles and the gaps. In his short stay he hit only 1 boundary - Cronje
for maximum over the midwicket boundary. When Dev was dismissed, there
was a faint glimmer of hope for the South African's. The wicketkeeper
Yadav, brought into the side because of his batting, then joined Amre in
the middle, and showed the RSA batsman how to bat in the last couple
overs of a match. With the runs flowing easily, the RSA fielders for the
first time in the series were that extra metre to far or the were the
extra yard too slow. The throwing from the boundary was also not up to
standard.

======================== HISTORICAL EVENTS ===============================
1. Cronje's (RSA) 55 is his first fifty and highest score in ODI's.
2. With his dismissal of Cronje, Prabhakar (India) claimed his 100th ODI
   wicket.
3. Amre's 84* is his highest score in ODI's.
4. Yadav's 32* is his highest score in ODI's.
