#2 South Africa's bowlers being ineffective
India were put in to bat first after Proteas skipper JP Duminy won the toss and once again stand-in skipper Rohit Sharma perished cheaply, as he was trapped in front of the wickets by Junior Dala.

Then, a 65-run partnership between Suresh Raina (43) and Shikhar Dhawan (47) steadied the ship for the visitors.
However, India struggled a bit after the duo's dismissal as Manish Pandey and MS Dhoni could replicate their performance from the last match.
The hosts' bowlers could not take advantage of this situation as a late surge from Hardik Pandya (21 off 17) and Dinesh Karthik (13 off 6) saw them through to their eventual total of 172/7.
In the end, India's target proved to be a stiff chase for the hosts as South Africa lost the match by 7 runs.
