India fails to conquer maiden series victory in South Africa

Today was the final cricket match for India of the series and before the cricket World Cup. India were hoping to win their first ever series win in South Africa by winning the game but all their hopes were shattered in final game of cricket. India lost the final to the mighty South Africa.

India won the toss and elected to field thinking the things will go in the way they wanted but expect the toss it was just Yusuf Pathan’s thrilling fourth century that went in India’s way. South Africa started a slow and calm innings and Amla yet again made a century troubling the Indian bowlers to the core. Amla helped the team reach to a decent total of 250 in the 46 overs of the rain hit cricket match. Yusuf Pathan was the only Indian batsman who played and brought hope on the Indian faces but all were shattered once his wicket fell soon after his century and India were left on the losing side.

South Africa are going strong and high on confidence after defeating a strong cricket nation like India and will go into the World Cup with spirits high. India on the other hand were quite impressed by their bowling in the death over by getting six wickets for just 24 runs in the end but their batting has collapsed drastically in the whole series which will be a worry point for them. They will be hoping that all things are well set once all their star players return to the game.
