India vs South Africa was supposed to be the clash of the Titans as they both are placed at 1 and 2 in the points table. South Africa is playing the aggressive brand of cricket and is crushing their opponents by a huge margin. However, those who expected a thrilling contest were disappointed as India decimated the South African attack.

After winning the toss, Rohit Sharma chose to bat first. Rohit Sharma gave India an aggressive start and as a result, India scored a huge 91 by the end of the first powerplay. Then the pitch started getting slow and scoring runs became tough. Kohli and Shreyas Iyer understood the pitch brilliantly and kept the scoreboard ticking. In the process, Virat Kohli equaled the 49 ODI centuries record by Sachin Tendulkar. India by the end of 10 overs, scored a huge 326 runs.

Chasing a mammoth total, SA were never in the chase. De Kock who has been in a huge form scored only 5 and the procession started. Jadeja picked five wickets. SA were bundled out for just 83 runs.
