South Africa level ODI series

Left-handed opener Tony de Zorzi scored a career-best unbeaten 119 from 122 balls to lead South Africa to an emphatic eight-wicket win over India in the second ODI at St George’s Park yesterday and level the three-match series at 1-1. South Africa won the toss and sent India into bat, restricting the visitors to 211 all out in 46.2 overs on a wicket that was not easy to score on. They chased down their target with 45 deliveries remaining to set up a series decider in Paarl tomorrow.

After a disappointing show with the bat in the series opener in Johannesburg, the Proteas batters bounced back in style, making a mockery of a modest 212 chase. Ton-up de Zorzi led the chase from the front with a superb unbeaten 119 and shared a record 130-run opening stand with Reeza Hendricks. — Times of India.
