India vs South Africa cricket match in world cup

Yesterday was the first day of India's world cup journey . Though it is the first match for India , for South Africa it was the third match . South Africa had lost the last 2 matches it had played .


As I observed , all the matches have won by the teams who had opted to bat first . Yesterday also  , same thing happened . South Africa won the toss and opted to bat first .


Listening to the decision of South Africa to bat first , I was sceptical about win of India . But Indian fielding was very tight. South African batsmen could score only singles .


Indian bowlers were impressive . The first two wickets were taken by Bumrah . Then came spinner Yajuvendra Chahal . He has taken 4 wickets . It must be noted that this match was the first world cup match for both of them .


South Africa was restricted to just 228 runs . I was very confident that India would chase down the total easily . Same thing happened . India has won the match , with the help of Rohit Sharma century .
