Record-breaking Tendulkar sets up victory
(UKPA) – 4 days ago
Sachin Tendulkar smashed a record-breaking double century as India scored an emphatic 153-run victory over South Africa in the second one-day international at Gawalior, taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
Tendulkar hit an unbeaten 200, the first ever double century in ODIs, and built partnerships with Dinesh Karthik (79), Yusuf Pathan (36) and Mahendra Singh Dhoni (68no) as India finished with a mammoth total of 401 for three.
South Africa stuttered with their reply and although AB de Villiers made a brave unbeaten 114, the visitors were bowled out for 248 in 42.5 overs.
India, with Tendulkar at the forefront, were merciless with the bat, despite the early loss of Virender Sehwag (nine), as they made the most of Dhoni's rare success with the toss.
Tendulkar reached the mark off only 140 deliveries, hitting 25 fours - the most by a batsman in a single innings - and three sixes along the way, before reaching his double century with a single off Charl Langeveldt in the final over.
South Africa, who hold the record for the world's highest chase in one-day internationals, began in poor fashion as they lost Gibbs (seven) in the third over and thereafter suffered blows regularly.
Pinch-hitter Roelof van der Merwe (12) lasted only 12 deliveries, Hashim Amla made 34 before he was Sreesanth's second victim, while Kallis made just 11 when he dragged a delivery from Ashish Nehra onto his stumps.
Alviro Petersen was bowled by Ravindra Jadeja for 11 and JP Duminy was trapped in front for a first ball duck by Pathan before Mark Boucher and De Villiers added 31 runs for the seventh wicket, but Pathan broke that stand by winning a lbw verdict against Boucher.
De Villiers then continued to offer stiff resistance and reached his fifth ODI century, but Nehra took a superb catch at mid-on to remove last-man Langeveldt (12) and bring up victory.
Jadeja and Sreesanth finished with three wickets apiece.

Proteas power to consolation win
(UKPA) – 1 day ago
Commanding centuries from Jacques Kallis and AB de Villiers helped South Africa steam to a 90-run victory over India in the final one-dayer in Ahmedabad.
Loots Bosman (68) and Hashim Amla (87) gave the Proteas a flying start with a 113-run stand for the opening wicket, while Kallis (104 not out) and De Villiers (102 not out) ground India's attack into the dust as the visitors finished with a solid 365 for two.
Virat Kohli (57), Rohit Sharma (48) and Suresh Raina (49) all got starts, but South Africa's bowlers were too good as the home side were bowled out for 275 inside 45 overs.
Bosman, back at the top of the order after being left out in Gwalior, blazed away against India's inexperienced attack and brought up his second ODI half-century with a six off Yusuf Pathan's first delivery, needing only 37 deliveries to reach the mark. He eventually perished attempting the fifth six of his innings, miscuing Pathan to Ravindra Jadeja at long-off.
Amla, far less belligerent, had by then constructed another fine innings, easily rotating the strike and finding the boundaries when width was offered. He went on to reach his seventh ODI half-century and had combined with Kallis to put on 79 for the second wicket when he top-edged a slog sweep off Jadeja to debutant Murali Vijay at deep square leg.
South Africa reached 200 in the 35th over and De Villiers helped the visitors shift gears by hitting Shantha Sreesanth for three boundaries in four deliveries, while Kallis too accelerated smoothly.
Kallis reached his century - his 17th in ODIs - with consecutive sixes off Sreesanth, while De Villiers raised his sixth ODI ton and his second on the trot by smashing Rohit for a four and six off successive deliveries.
India's chase began promisingly, but the home side were soon struggling as Dale Steyn snared Dinesh Karthik (11) early and new-ball partner Lonwabo Tsotsobe removed Vijay (25) early in the sixth over.
Rohit and Kohli then revived the chase with a 95-run stand for the third wicket, but Tsotsobe returned to remove Rohit and Steyn destroyed India's resistance with the wickets of Kohli and dangerman Mahendra Singh Dhoni (nine) - both caught behind by Mark Boucher - in the same over.
The home side then slipped further to 179 for six with the demise of Pathan (five), but Suresh Raina (49) and Jadeja (36) gave the home side a glimmer of hope with a 54-run stand for the seventh wicket. However, the chase all but ended once Raina was prised out, Steyn and Tsotsobe ending with three wickets apiece.

Statistical highlights of the third one-dayer
PTI, Feb 28, 2010, 12.00pm IST
AHMEDABAD: Following are the statistical highlights of the third and final one-dayer between India and South Africa.
# Jacques Kallis, during the course of his century against India, became the top run-scorer for South Africa against India - 1446 in 34 matches at an average of 65.72. He has outstripped Gary Kirsten's aggregate of 1377 (ave.62.59) in 26 matches.
# Kallis has recorded his first hundred as South African captain - his 17th in ODIs overall is his second against India. Of his 17 centuries, 11 have been posted away from home.
# For the first time in an innings against India, four top batsmen for South Africa recorded 50-plus scores.
# Hashim Amla and Loots Bosman were involved in a first wicket stand of 113, which is South Africa's eighth partnership of 100 runs or more against India.
# The partnership is the highest for the first wicket at Sardar Patel (Gujarat) Stadium, Motera, beating the 104 between Ravi Shastri and Roger Binny for India against Australia on October 5, 1984.
# AB de Villiers's unbeaten 102 off 59 balls is his sixth century in ODIs - his second against India. Five of his six centuries have been recorded away from home.

# AB de Villiers' 58-ball hundred is the seventh fastest in the history of ODIs - the second quickest for South Africa, next only to the 44-ball century by Mark Boucher against Zimbabwe at Potchefstroom on September 20, 2006,
# AB de Villiers, with 241 runs at an average of 241.00 including two hundreds, has top-scored in the series. His average of 241.00 is the highest by any player in an ODI series against India.
# Sachin Tendulkar topped the runs' tally for India in the series - 204 at an average of 204.00 in two games.
# Kallis and AB de Villiers put on 173 (unbroken) for the third wicket - South Africa's highest ever for this position against India, eclipsing the 113 between Hansie Cronje and Daryll Cullinan at Jaipur on October 23, 1996.
# S Sreesanth (9-0-83-0) produced his worst figures in ODIs. Sreesanth's economy rate of 9.22 is his worst in ODIs.

# Both Ravindra Jadeja (5 at 24.60 runs apiece) and Sreesanth (5 at 41.20) have topped the wicket-aggregate chart in the series.
# Mark Boucher became the first wicket-keeper to effect five dismissals in an innings for South Africa against India. Boucher's tally of five dismissals in an innings eight times has been exceeded by only Adam Gilchrist (nine).
# Sachin Tendulkar became the first player to register 15 Player of the series awards in ODIs and for the first time in an ODI competition/series.
# South Africa (365 for two wickets) registered their highest total on foreign soil.
# India defeated South Africa in two bilateral series in a row by 2-1. India had won the 2007 series in India by a similar margin.
