Proteas in famous victory over India at the Wanderers

Dean Elgar: CSA


South Africa have beaten India by 7 wickets late on a rain affected fourth day of the 2nd test at the Wanderers.

It levels up the series 1-1 ahead of the third and deciding Test in Cape Town next week.

Play only got underway at 15h45 with 34 overs scheduled to be bowled on the day.

The Proteas, needing 240 runs for victory, resumed on 118 for 2.

Between Dean Elgar, Rassie van der Dussen and Temba Bavuma, they climbed into a frustrated India bowling attack and knocked off the required runs just before 6 pm.

South Africa finished on 243 for 3 to win by 7 wickets with Temba Bavuma undefeated on 23 alongside his captain Dean Elgar on a masterful 96 - he fittingly hit the winning runs.

Van der Dussen was the man out in an absorbing afternoon session for a fighting 40 as South Africa beat India in a Test match at the Wanderers for the very first time.

Its also South Africa's highest successful Test run chase at the Wanderers.
