Yusuf Pathan steers India to win exciting two-window on South Africa

Firstly, it induces an edge of Kohli, who was taken behind by AB de Villiers to 28 and inverted medium strain Sharma-23 - by low.

India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (five) fared even worse, a delivery of Johan Botha, Villiers, who seized the second attempt to leave tourists 69 for four after 20 overs thick edge.

Graeme Smith introduced Duminy attack soon after and change paid immediate dividends when his right arm off break for Cosmo Singh. Drummer, 16, hit platelets and the umpire Simon Taufel did not hesitate to raise his finger.

Pathan has stimulated the India workload in the 30th by smashing three huge sixes off Botha to leave his team requiring 85 final 20 overs.

Pathan and Sursh Raina current Indians to pass their target but died four overs each other to give hope Proteas.

Raina sharp top a nothing killed Villiers off Morkel to 37 and he then saw the second Pathan offshore Morkel back-pedalling to retain fine heaving in the third man off the coast of the bowling of Steyn.

The match was on a razor with four overs to go after that Zaheer Khan loop ball short Lonwabo Tsotsobe Smith to mid off to leave the India who need 13 runs from their final 24 balls but with only two wickets in hand.

However, Harbhajan Singh (23 step out) and Ashish Nehra (six not out) calmly saw India at home, the last taken tourists on the line with a crumpled sur-lecteur out Botha.

Earlier, du Plessis improved its chances of the world with a cup half a century. But the Proteas struggled against the attacks of the India with Zaheer and Harbhajan causing special problems.

It was left to Du Plessis, in tandem with Duminy, to pick up the pace with a kick of beginning of 60.

Zaheer made the first breakthrough for tourists as Hashim Amla lined inside a ball the right length that uprooted off stump on 16.

Colin Ingram was the man next to the Proteas and 10 as he edged in a ball of Harbhajan behind and Kohli took a low catches brilliant on his right.

Zaheer then claimed a catch, brilliant diving full length along the coast after De Villiers a sharp top Pathan leaving hosts on 83 for three.

They had added only seven other when Smith was also sent to the Pavilion as his attempt to sweep off Harbhajan struck the back of his bat and engulf Kohli capture.

Duminy has survived a strong demand for output at the outset of his sleeves as Pathan caught the ball and pushed down on the stem, but it was not clear whether the bails had dislodged until Duminy had recovered from his ground and he received the benefit of the doubt by the third umpire.

It is a second chance which Duminy and fellow wicket-cinquième du Plessis partner benefits, with two players go to score half-centuries.

Du Plessis has succumbed to Munaf Patel Kohli claimed another leaping catch and Duminy was out skittled by Zaheer to 52.

Wayne Parnell has been exhausted for only five and Steyn was out for five eighth man he punched Raina to mid wicket in depth Munaf offshore.

Third wicket for the Zaheer happens when it reversed own Botha, bowling on Wicket for nine, and Tsotsobe has been exhausted by a direct strike by Pathan.
