Summary
South Africa beats India in 5th ODI by 33 runs and won the series by 3-2 at Centurion on Sunday. Yusuf Pathan hit a 68-ball century but Morne Morkel took four wickets. India were set to make 268 to win according to the Duckworth-Lewis method but were reeling at 60/5 in 12 overs when Pathan walked to the crease. Pathan renewed hopes of an Indian victory with a blitzkrieg knock of 105 runs off 70 balls that was studded with 8 fours and 8 sixes and his dismissal left India at 219/9. The Indian innings ended when Lonwabo Tsotsobe dismissed Zaheer Khan as India were bowled out for 234 runs in 30.4 overs. The Indian top order came a copper in their last match before the World Cup as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh failed to register double figures. India got off to a poor start in their run chase as Lonwabo Tsotsobe clean bowled Sharma with a slower delivery in the fourth over.
