Another good day for indian cricket, indian cricketers & indian cricket fans. India win 1st odi against south africa by just 1 run. What a game of cricket that was. No one can decide in between who is gone a win the match. It was totally mind blowing game by both the teams. Players of both teams done very hard work for the match.
South African captian Kallis won the toss and elected to field first. Visitors know that the due factor come in the play in the later game and spinners will have problems bowling on the batsman pitch. Its really a nice pitch to bat on at Jaipur. India loose Sachin at his individual score at 4. Sehwag was disapponted with the runout himself as well on 46. India loose wickets at regular intervals. After Raina & Kohli made good partnership and make a healthy total of 298/9 for the visitors.
South Africa loose Bosman and Gibbs early and then Kallis was the main headache for the Indian bowlers. But Jadeja done very well by best figure bowling in the match. He took 2 wickets for only 29 runs given in 10 overs. He was judged man of the match for his 22 odd runs and the good bowling as well. India manage to keep kallis quite but the end was very dramatic. Tailenders Dale Styne & Wayne Parnell scored very fast in the end and took match to the last over where they just lost by a whisker.
It was really a good game of cricket once again and visitors were very disappointed for the match by loosing by only 1 run.
India leads the 3 odi series by 1-0. South Africa have to win both the games for moving to the 2nd spot in the ICC ODI Rankings and wining series as well.
