Match State: India win by 8 wickets
A comprehensive win for India, hang on for the presentation ceremony India and Zimbabwe head the points table For a change there will be a tournament where South Africa don't win all the prelim games Welcome to the presentation ceremonies Except for 1 runout, all the S African wickets went to spinners Joshi finishing with the unbelievable analysis of 10-6-6-5 Chopra finished with 10-0-26-3 and Bhardwaj got his first international wicket with 10-3-16-1 Derek Crookes taking both wickets for RSA but they came too late, a first wicket partnership of 72 in just 10 overs Trevor Quirk talks about a wonderful display of spin against "one of the most consistently great sides in One Day internationals" Hansie Cronje, the losing captain comes up We had a 3 month break, didn't play well Under these conditions India is a good side Quirk and Cronje make the usual excuse about being back from a 3 month break We don't want to take anything away from Joshi and Jadeja's captaincy They were without four of their stars, the conditions suited them Ajay Jadeja, the winning captain comes up and gets the 2000 US$ cheque Incredible performance, one of the best days of cricket from India I've seen, no wides and no balls Joshi bowled fantastically, a captain couldn't have asked for more We've been working on the fielding for the last 2 weeks or so, hopefully it gives quick results There's no better way than to start off with a win The most predictable Man of the Match Award ever comes up 5 commentators from TWI award it to the obvious choice, Sunil Bandacharya Joshi I'm very thrilled, I was just hoping to turn the ball The wicket was a 2 paced wicket, I just mixed up the deliveries This performance is the best ever bowling performance against RSA in ODIs That's it from CricInfo. Join us for the 3rd game featuring a revenge game, yesterday's winners against today's losers, Zimbabwe against South Africa Join us at 0630 GMT on 28 September 1999
