An inspired India made amends for the drubbing at Centurion with a sensational 87-run victory against South Africa in the low-scoring second cricket Test to level the three-match series 1-1 at Durban on Wednesday.
After setting a target of 303, the Indian bowlers put up a disciplined show to dismiss the hosts for 215 in 72.3 overs about an hour after the lunch break to record only their second Test triumph on South African soil.
The Indians, who had lost the first Test at Centurion by an innings and 25 runs, showed great character and resilience to demolish the Proteas in their own den and in conditions tailor-made to suit the home team.
Brief Scores:
India 205 and 228
South Africa 131 and 215 all out in 72.3 overs (Ashwell Prince 39 not out, Graeme Smith 37, AB de Villiers 33; Zaheer Khan 3/57, S Sreesanth 3/45).
