India wins as South Africa panics !




Needing 191 to win, SA at one stage were 152/4. Then Munaf produced a beauty of ball which crashed into Greame Smith's ( 77) stumps and the game was over. From 152/4, S A nosedived to 189 all out. A win for the tourists by one run.

Parnell and Morkel were removed by Patel and he finished with the match winning spell of 8-0-29-4 !

Indian batsmen again messed it all up. Depsite a 53 by Yuvraj and a sheer anchor role, slow 38 by Dhoni, none of the other Indian batsmen could impress.

Despite the batting debacle of both teams, the match was a thriller. SA panicked when they were 152/4 and then lost six wickets for just 37 runs!. Indian bowlers then came back into the game, with Munaf leading with four wickets. Zaheer picked up 2, while Bajji and Nehra got one each.
