Tour Match: Rest of South Africa v Indians, 16 November
ODI series
1st ODI
2nd ODI
3rd ODI
4th ODI
Virender Sehwag captained India after Rahul Dravid was ruled out for rest of the series following an injury. South Africa recovered from a bad start to reach 243 at the end of 50 overs. Gibbs remained unbeaten on 93 while Kallis and Pollock chipped in with 49 and 37 respectively. Anil Kumble was the best bowler for India on the day picking up 2 wickets for 42 runs. Chasing 244 under lights, India got off to a steady start losing their first wicket in the 6th over with 23 runs on the board. Wickets fell at regular intervals and this meant that India never had a chance of overhauling the South African score. Irfan Pathan was the pick of the batsmen scoring 47 runs.
5th ODI
India put on another abysmal batting performance scoring just 200 off the allocated 50 overs. Sachin Tendulkar topscored for the visitors with a sedate 55 off 97 balls. Mongia and Dhoni chipped in with useful 40's.
South Africa reached the target in just 31.2 overs. Pollock was named Man of the Match for his bowling performance which included 4 maidens and 2 wickets.
With this victory, South Africa wrapped up the series 4–0 with the first game washed out.
Only T20I
- Tyron Henderson (SA), Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, Dinesh Mongia, MS Dhoni, Dinesh Karthik, Suresh Raina, Irfan Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Ajit Agarkar and S Sreesanth (Ind) all made their T20I debuts.
- Virender Sehwag (Ind) captained India for the first time in T20Is.
India pulled off its first victory of the tour with a close Twenty20 win after Dinesh Karthik steered India towards victory with a controlled innings by Twenty20 standards. This was India's first Twenty20 International ever.
