Imran Tahir and Kagiso Rabada, who bowled the final over, both claimed two wickets in their final overs to halt India’s charge to victory. South Africa posted the highest total at the ground, ending on 303 for five thanks to another scintillating century from captain and man-of-the-match AB de Villiers after winning the toss and electing to bat first.

India were cruising to victory with Rohit Sharma in total control but when Tahir (10-0-57-2) claimed Sharma's wicket with the first ball of his final over, the wheels started to come off and despite MS Dhoni striking 31, India fell six runs short of their victory target, being restricted to 298 for seven.

Rabada (10-0-58-2) was given the difficult job of bowling the final over and needing to defend 12 runs but the young right-arm fast bowler kept his head and dismissed Dhoni, caught and bowled and then dismissed Bhuvneshwar Kumar (one) with the very next ball to end India’s hopes of pulling off their first victory of the South African tour.
