Batting first, South Africa posted an impressive 282/4, thanks to a strong top-order performance. Herschelle Gibbs provided a blazing start, while Jacques Kallis and Boeta Dippenaar built a crucial 103-run partnership for the third wicket. Dippenaar went on to score a brilliant 81, his highest ODI score at the time. In the closing overs, Jonty Rhodes and Lance Klusener accelerated the scoring with an unbeaten 79-run partnership, adding 52 runs in the last five overs to push South Africa to a formidable total. India began their chase brilliantly with Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar putting together a 101-run opening partnership. However, once Tendulkar fell to Kallis, the momentum shifted. Ganguly’s dismissal soon after allowed South Africa to tighten their grip on the match. Despite a determined 71 from Rahul Dravid*, India’s middle order collapsed under pressure. Sharp South African fielding led to three crucial run-outs, and India were eventually bowled out for 236. 🏏 Match Highlights Boeta Dippenaar – 81 runs Rahul Dravid – 71* fighting innings Ganguly & Tendulkar – 101 opening partnership Kallis & Dippenaar – 103-run partnership Rhodes & Klusener – explosive finish This match showcased South Africa’s all-round dominance and their ability to capitalize on key moments against a strong Indian side.
