India enrolled their lady respective series win in South Africa with a 73-run triumph in Port Elizabeth on Tuesday (February 13). Set up by Rohit Sharma's seventeenth ODI ton prior, India's bowlers figured out how to hold South Africa within proper limits with Kuldeep Yadav completing with a four-wicket pull.

Pursuing 274 on a pitch that was step by step backing off, South Africa were kept in the game to a great extent by Hashim Amla's 71 however none of the other batsmen figured out how to give him bolster for enough time to mount a battle in the match.

Having a major impact in the win was Rohit Sharma who was the most recent in India's batting triumvirate at the best to be among the runs, as he forgot about an aloof keep running of scores in this ODI series to get 115. Be that as it may, Sharma's seventeenth ODI ton was sufficient just to get India towards a major aggregate.

India's openers dashed towards a fifty-run stand however only two runs shy of the stamp, Dhawan tumbled to Rabada's short ball trap, pulling straight to profound in reverse square leg.

In any case, that wicket did little to dissuade Rohit, who was currently joined by the other man in frame - Virat Kohli.

That association however could have finished somewhat before, had Kohli been decreed out befuddled on 29. In any case, a near disaster was chosen in the batsman's support by Aleem Dar, yet Kohli's fortunes ran out soon. The couple, who had batted so well until at that point, was engaged with their seventh occasion of a run out as a couple, with Kohli being gotten well short to end his stay on 36. Rohit went ahead to walk out on the following man in, Ajinkya Rahane, too who was run out for 8. What's more, it could have all turned far more terrible by then for India, had Tabraiz Shamsi clutched a possibility given by Rohit on 96.

Rohit went ahead to raise a ton that was covered with cuts and pulls that were simple on the eye, and figured out how to include 60 more with Shreyas Iyer for the fourth wicket.

With 236 on the board by the 43rd over, India were taking a gander at an aggregate near 300 however Lungi Ngidi set off a fall, having Rohit and Hardik Pandya gotten behind off progressive conveyances, previously getting a well set Iyer in his next finished. Ngidi went ahead to get MS Dhoni later in the innings too, to refute India's offered to quicken, holding them down to a chaseable 274.

Be that as it may, as it ended up being, it was 73 excessively numerous for South Africa.
