With a win, South Africa reached the top of the standing with two wins in two, while India slipped down with a point from several games.

Opposing the first field, Yuvraj Singh’s side faced full anger of a resurrected de Villiers, which received a peak form after a rust in his return game against the West Indies. Supported by JJ Smats (17 runs 17), Hashim Amla (22), and Jacques Rudolf (24), South Africa posted a commanding 208/6. Yusuf Pathan (2/26) and Piyush Chawla (2/31) were the pick of Indian bowlers.

India’s response was listless. The top-order collapsed under pressure, with Yuvraj being unable to bat due to a fielding. Only Stuart Binny (from 37* 39) showed some battle as the wickets fell around him. Rain stopped playing with India at 111/9 in 18.2 overs – DLS far behind the equal score.Apart from Suresh Raina (16), Vinay Kumar (13) and Irfan Pathan (10), no other batsman crossed double digits. It was a reminder of why de Villiers, even after four years of retirement, remains a force in any format. With this win, South Africa champions look like a favorite of the initial title – led by his evergreen captain.
