Some result that for South Africa.
Wow.

India are usually hard to beat on home soil & would've expected to have held an advantage by picking 4 spinners, but they were out bowled at by Harmer who took 8 wickets in the match after a poor tour in 2015-16. South Africa's captain Bavuma scored the only half century of the match in their 2nd innings on a pitch that offered movement & invariable bounce. Marco Jansen at 6 foot 8 was particularly effective.
Using Washington Sundar at No.3 was an interesting move, he made 29 & top scored with 31 in India's 2nd innings but his bowling wasn't required in their 2nd innings. Did India need 4 spinners in such a low scoring match when batting was paramount. Captain Gill didn't bat in the run chase after a neck injury & Pant seemed to panic as stand in with some of his decisions.
