Yuvraj was the only Indian batsman to put up a fight

Indian batsmen had got the measure of the South African attack as they cruised to 150/3 in the 37th over. Nevertheless, the Proteas bowlers were too good to be perturbed as they picked up the next seven Indian wickets at the cost of 42 more runs.

Yuvraj Singh perished to Lonwabo Tsotsobe through a mistimed lofted shot to mid-off and India never recovered from there on and were bundled out for a paltry 192 runs. The last six wickets fell for a meagre 23 runs as no batsman got to terms with the hostility of the fast bowlers.
