Yesterday saw the tournement start for real after the frindly/warm-up games.
India beat South Africa by 26 runs,which sounds closer than it could've been,as SA put on 48 for the 10th wicket
India made 331-7,with a century from Dhawan,who put on an opening stand of 127 with Sharma 65,
at 210-1 an even bigger total looked likely,Jadeja made 47 not out after wickets fell in the middle of the innings.
With Steyn out Tsotsobe 83-2 & Kleinveldt 81-0 prooved expensive.Morkel broke down after 6.5 overs,with doubts on their Test stars making the 2nd match surely Phillander should have made the squad.
Dumminy bowled a tight spell & McLaren had a good allround match taking 70-3 & top scoring with 71.
The chase looked on after a good recovery from 31-2 to 155-2,but Peterson was run out for 68.Then 3 wickets went for 6 runs saw them fall from 182 3 to 188-6,the key dismissal was that of De Villiers for 70,which saw South Africa's chances of winning take a big knock.
