#1 India vs South Africa, ICC Champions Trophy 2017, The Oval, London
The final group stage game between India and South Africa was effectively a Quarter-Final with the teams losing to Sri Lanka and Pakistan respectively in their previous encounter.
South Africa batted first and at 2-140 looked prime for a competitive first inning score with du Plessis and de Villiers at the crease when the duo was involved in yet another mishap. de Villiers responded to Faf's call for a quick single after the latter had patted the ball to point. However, for all of de Villiers frantic efforts, Pandya's throw came on time and MS Dhoni did the rest.
A gutted AB de Villiers walked off the field paving way for yet another magnanimous collapse as the Proteas lost their last eight wickets for 51 runs.India didn't break a sweat in their pursuit of 192 set by the Proteas and on the back of sublime knocks by Shikhar Dhawan (78) and Virat Kohli (76) romped home by eight wickets.
Result: India won by eight wickets.
