India's Smashing Victory on South Africa

It was MCG and there was a one day world cup league match between India and South Africa. This factor is just enough for all the Indians across the globe to stick on their TV sets to watch an interesting battle between Indians and Safaris. The men in blue got rid of the fears on AB De Villiers and  Faf Du Plessis. And finally, it was another amazing victory for Indians. Interestingly, South Africa was considered to be the hot favourite to win this world cup. However, when there are defending champions in their opposition, they should get surrendered.

Having won the toss, India chose to bat first. Shikar Dhawan's magnificent 137 out of 146, Rahane's dazzling 79 out of 60 balls made India to reach a comfortable score of 307 runs in 50 overs though midle order was shaken a bit.  In response to India's challenge, South Africa's performance went on annihilation. The team could manage to score just 177 and were all out. Ashwin with 3 wickets, Mohit with 2, and Sharma with 2 turned as game changers during South African batting. Dhawan was conferred with 'Man of the Match'. This is the first victory of India against South Africa in world cup tourneys.With this thumping victory, India retains its number one position in group B.
