India produced a dominating performance to outplay the Proteas to the extent of a 130-runs victory.

Chasing more than 300 for victory the Proteas needed a strong reply but they lost too many wickets too quickly.

There were several other soft dismissals. What must be particularly disturbing is that, starting from the run out of De Villiers, they lost eight wickets for 69 runs and barely batted through 40 overs. The Proteas' next match is against the West Indies on Friday.
